Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3

How did I know you'd try to equivocate some more, to avoid having to say that the Dem's unwillingness to comprimise is "disgusting"?

Your post is either abject ignorance, or a lie.
- They demand that taxes be raised
- They refuse to allow for the idea that certain entitlements be cut
They refuse to comprimise.

Flawed logic. It doesn't include that other entitlements are fair game for cuts.
 
dems will cut the budget, along with tax increases. reps will just cut the budget. get it?
i don't believe he does..it is only 'compromise' if the dems give in to the gop, in his opinion.

Irrelevant - they refuse to comprimise on those two points.

As we have heard, refusal to comprimise is "disgusting".

But, as we see, this is apparently true only when one side does it.

You just GOTTA love people to try to hide their partisan bigotry!

It's not irrelevant, or at least, you need to revise your assertion that the Democrats, "aren't compromising" to, "they aren't compromising enough." The former isn't true, YMV on the latter.
 
apparently you don't understand the meaning of the word 'compromise'...perhaps you should google it? read up on it? study the term and its meaning?
Spare me.
You refuse to accept the fact that there are points on which both the GOP and Dems are unwilling to comprimise.
You agree with the tenet that the unwillingness to comprimise is "disgusting" - but only when refering to one side, even when both sides refuse to do so.

:lol:
Well then - the GOP has comprimised as well. Issue resolved.
:lol:

Yes... I get that your contempt for refusing to comprimise is completely partisan in nature.
But then, I knew that when you first said it - I just wanted to give youthe opportunity to illustrate it beyond any doubt.
Thank you for doing so.

see post 72..you are using flawed logic...compromise means meeting in the middle....or close to....the dems have went beyond that, offering 3-1 cuts to new taxes, that, to me, is showing that dems are willing to compromise.

Now who's holding a gun to the nation's head?

but what does comprimise mean?
 
It's disgusting, but it's also tit-for-tat and what the country needs right now.

I think the tit-for-tat game is why we are in this mess in the first place. I think "we the people" have had enough of that. How amazing would it be for our elected officials (democrat and republican) to simply vote yes or no on something becuase its the right thing to do for the people. I know.... pipe dream ... but what the heck a girl can dream cant she...
 
but what does comprimise mean?
both will have to give on some issues/programs important to them....for dems, there will have to be serious spending cuts, for repubs, their will have to be some tax increases, and some cuts made to the defense budget....

Dream bigger - how about they right legislation in less than 10 pages. :)

The Good President will have to let Old People, Disabled people STARVE because of the damned dirty GOP.

Starve you hear, STARVE.

I seem to remember Democrats crying "foul" and "fear tactics" right around the time before the Obamacare got passed. All of them saying that it was "despicable" etc etc.

What happened to that "belief"?

Or is it only despicable when Republicans do it?
 
Kinda like the Republicans threaten the whole of us to preserve tax loopholes like the Capital Gains tax? Yup, peas in a pod y'all are. Good job not doing anything productive and doing everything y'all can to bring down the Republic. Great.

Looky here, a LINO siding with unlimited spending and debt, that centuries of children will have to pay back.
 
Don't worry folks, there's plenty of dog food and can openers for the old folks. :mrgreen:
 
Not from a PR standpoint.

Oh they're well beyond 'screwed' and clear on over to '****ed' on the PR front. Nobody's forgetting this for a VERY long time.

yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and say I pretty much called this one. The President needs an economic narrative to run on in 2012 and by gum if the economy won't cooperate and start growing he's going to make an alternate narrative about Evil Mean Ole Republicans Trying To Murder Grandparents instead. Maybe we could see ads about Paul Ryan burning people's Social Security checks in front of them before he throws them off the cliff? Or would that take seconds away from the spot in which he beats an autistic child?

You gotta admit though...it was kind of obvious that he would.
 
The whole debt ceiling is a manufactured problem by REPUBLICANS, the debt ceiling has been raised 74 times since JFK was President. This is the only time there has been a problem getting it passed.

74 times in 50 years -THAT my friend is the problem. Now can we get a solution that breaks this stupid approach to fiscal "management".
