bheartlib Commented on Rahm To Liberals: Your Ads Against Dems Are F@$&ing stupid by Brian Beutler

2009-08-08T00:21:33Z

Rahm is really pissing me off. How dare he tell anyone, especially someone who is not an elected official...to back off. I have been a member of move-on for many years, and I love their ads!! Ben Nelson is a titty-baby, and needs to get with the program. Rahm should be threatening and brow-beating, and telling these blue creeps that they will be primaried if they do not get with the program. My patience is over.

bheartlib Commented on Orly Taitz lies ... again? by Bill Bowman

2009-08-05T04:24:55Z

I just came back to earth after googling orly taitz. Amazing . This woman has invested countless of hours in this totally brainless excersise. I am totally unable to repeat any of her positions. Her whole being is without merit. So sad... What I wanted to find out was any reason for this woman to want to overthrow our government. I wanted to find out if she was even a citizen of our country. I never found out that fact. I wanted to find a motive for this woman to want to destroy Barack Hussien Obama. I could not find anything. I am at a loss. I just simply do not understand why this woman would go to these lengths to throw over a government that she probably has nothing to do with. Anyone???

You are SO right, and I just can't believe anyone in the media hasn't said exactly that. It was a pissing contest, plain and simple. On second thought, the media sucks.
The cop himself was the person who brought in race...he said that the caller said the 'suspects' were black in his report. We all know now that she did NOT say that at any time. That poor lady was harrassed because of his report!! Then...he brings to their 'sit-down' his union rep and his attorney!! He is a creep!!

I just got home from work, turned on msnbc, and saw Sibelius and Specter being shouted at. It is going to happen all this month. I have a repub for a congressman, so there will probably be no town hall at all here, but if you can go to a dem townhall..do it! And take video of the whack jobs!! It will be great!!

Al Franken was the model of patience and civility throughout this whole ordeal. Inhoff called him 'the clown from Minnesota'...well, there are far more "clowns" in the repub party.
And, Veritas, you are right, Al will never stray from Frannie. They have been together since college. A true partnership. Al has taken over Paul Wellstone's seat...what goes around comes around.

bheartlib Commented on Krugman is Back Tracking - Before He Looks Completely Wrong! by coonsey

2009-05-26T02:46:43Z

I have come to the point where if I don't like what my usual 'good guys' say, I just quit reading them. I know that is bad, but I can't help it. If there is nothing I can do about it...why read it and get my panties in a twist for nothing??? I know that Obama is smarter than anyone I have had ever..for a President. I know that he is 'playing chess when the rest of us are playing checkers'...(copied from many others!!) I am willing to take a breath and let President Obama do what he thinks is right. After awhile...we will jump back in and push him where we need him to go. I believe that he will listen to us, and will do what he can if he is 'pushed'. That may have to wait until his second 2 years, or even his second term. Meanwhile...just remember what we are coming off of. Cheney/bush. The with-out-a-doubt most horrible eight years in the history of this country. We have no way to go but UP.
I just wanted to say one more thing. He said today that he does not know how it feels to put one's life on the line for one's country. He meant that he never wore a uniform. But, I would say that he did put his life on the line for his country. A black man running for President of the United States IS putting his life on the line. I realize no one speaks to this issue, but I feel safe here. Barack Obama, his wife and partner Michelle, they are just as brave as any soldier. They put their lives on the line for this country.

bheartlib Commented on Ten Magical Things You Have to Believe to be A Republican by The Commenter Formerly Known as NCSteve

2009-04-29T03:35:56Z

Being a Republican means that the illegal Mexicans streaming across our borders are infecting us with Swine Flu. However, our teenagers returning from Spring Break in Cosumel are not.

And, don't forget...being Republican means that you get to re-name the other party. The Democratic Party is now called the 'Democrat Socialist' Party. By Repbulican Decree.....

bheartlib Commented on NFW-A GOOD SPECTER FOR US ALL by dickday

2009-04-29T03:21:53Z

I come late to this party..but I just don't share your unbridled joy. First and formost..Spector does not support Dawn Johnsen. She is vitally important to get to the bottom of the torture crap. I want her in there more than I can say. Second...he will not vote for EFCA. For what reason, I cannot tell you. And, that is why I am very sceptical about this great big political upheaval. I just do not think the Dems will get anything out of this except a little moral uplift. Nanny-nanny-boo-boo doesn't do much for policy. Spector is no better than Lieberman. They did what they did to keep their seats. To cover their butts, in other words.

bheartlib Commented on Hey Fox News: Sean Hannity Been Waterboarded Yet? by coonsey

2009-04-28T02:49:04Z

Hannity thinks waterboarding is no big deal. That is what he said. He does not think it is torture. He also is the person who initially suggested that he would do it for charity. That's when Olbermann said he would donate a thousand dollars for every second Hannity could tolerate it, and Olbermann would double it when Hannity admitted that waterboarding is torture. I think, some very savy smart person should start a website where we could all pledge money like they do for cancer. And then keep on Hannity until he actually puts his 'mouth where our money is'... I would donate 10 dollars a second and double it like Keith. I think alot of good could come of this because a monumentally stupid and ignorant right-winger would be allowed to see the error of his ways and, at the same time, raise alot of money for a very good cause. This is what you could call a 'win-win' situation.

bheartlib Commented on Ramblings on the Hypocrisy of the Pro-Life Right and other things that really piss me off. by O¿O in the crowd

2009-03-15T03:51:30Z

I posted over there for Mike, and he ignored me. Not surprising. I asked him just how his anti-choice program would work. Would there be a panel of 'judges' that a woman would have to go before in order to murder her baby? Would rape, incest, or death qualify? Just who would be on this panel? Doctors..lawyers...city council members...or her neighbors??? Would she have to beg for this proceedure? This was the way it was handled before Roe vs Wade.

When the anti-choice crowd decides to PREVENT unwanted pregnancies instead of ENCOURAGE them through their idiotic programs, then we can talk.

Let's just see how much free help the Octo-mom gets. She, after all, incubated and gave birth to 8 "snow-flakes"...frozen embryos. They are all a bunch of hypocrits.

bheartlib Commented on Implications: CNN Engages as Censorship-Agent for President Obama to Omit Pro-Life Content by Mike7Woodson

2009-03-14T18:46:17Z

I never expected to read anything like this over here.
Do you think that maybe CNN did not allow this ad because it is a stunning breach of simple privacy? Not to mention that he is our President, and he deserves much better.

It amazes me how these people think that they can dictate to others what they can do with their own bodies. Would you, Mr. Woodson, allow a congressman to make you shave your head? Or, to be more personal...make you get a vasectomy at some arbritary age chosen by the legislature? No, of course not. But, you would make a woman give birth. Exceptions? Rape, incest? A medical condition of the mother, or the child? And, if you do allow exceptions, how would these exceptions be documented..would the woman have to go before a board of 'judges', ( of course, they would all be men) and beg for the proceedure? I ask this, because that is exactly how it used to be done. Would these 'judges' be doctors, legislators, county-commisioners, or her neighbor?

I already know that there would be no 'poverty' exception. And therin lies the worst hypocracy. When you 'pro-life' people work to help the poor, educate teenagers about sex and make contraception available for everyone...when everyone has basic health-care, all children have a home and enough food to eat and a great education, then you can scream about abortions. Instead, you push for 'abstinance-only' education, (ask Bristol Palin how well that works), you keep Plan B from being freely availalble, (and don't give me the righty talking point that Plan B is an abortion, because it is not), and make women pay for their birth-control pills, while letting insurance companies cover Viagra.

You people behave like we just love getting abortions. Let me tell you, as a woman who has three children, I can only imagine the gut-wrenching torture the decision to have an abortion would be. From reading your posts, I feel that you have a very poor imagination.

I may be a little prejudiced, but I think Charley Crist is pretty smart, also. He embraced the whole package whole-heartedly from the very beginning. And made no bones about it. He was on one of the shows today and said, like Arnold said, "I'll take any money anyone else doesn't want". Crist's approval rate is near 70%. When more repubs are like those two, this country will be much better off.

bheartlib Commented on Lucy, You've Got Some Splainin' to do by dickday

2009-02-16T04:52:32Z

It is just so amazing that we are reading every day stuff we read years ago. I remember reading about the palletts of billions of dollars...the wheelbarrows...the 'cost-plus' no-bid contracts. Here is another blast from the past...remember a woman named, (and this is one reason why I remember her) Bunnintine Greenhouse? And I apologise to her in advance for my spelling. She was a government watch-person who was trying to call attention to these horrid contracts and she sort of dissapeared and was never heard of again. I wonder if someone will think to ask her a few questions...she was a really great stand-up-guy. I think she was demoted. Here is another one...in Michael Moore's Farinheight 9/11 he showed a 'convention' of 'contractors' that were working to get their contracts..I remember someone saying that Iraq was the place to make a fortune.
Man...there is so much crap in my head sometimes I think it will explode. The repubs are having a fit about this stimilus package...all the money we have to spend. Well...they don't care about all the money we spent paying off 'contractors' that did not do the job...(two of our soldiers were actually electrocuted, one in the SHOWER because of bad building practises). We threw billion after billion at contractors...and nothing to our troops. Heads just have GOT TO ROLL!!!

My son worked for them a few years ago. They had a 'policy' that said if an employee was caught stealing, if he or she gave up another name of a thief, it would help. Well, my son's name was given up. He was not a thief..but he turned out to be a very angry employee. At first he was stunned and speechless. Then he was pissed beyond belief. He quit and went to work for Sears. He is now working for NASD. A financial wachdog whose CEO is Ms. Schapiro who has been tapped as the head of the Obama SEC.
What goes around sometimes really does come around. It is time for cheaters and liars to 'come to Jesus'. I am sick of the crap. We need to make these people accountable.

bheartlib Commented on CLASS WAR: "Reaganomics? First, Bust the Unions!" by SleepinJeezus

2008-12-15T01:41:32Z

What a relevant story you have to tell, Sleepin. So many people forget just how badly Reagan hurt the Unions, and by doing that, how badly he hurt the middle class. It was the beginning of the downfall.
I have to believe that things will change...Unions will begin to be strong again. The middle class will be strong again. That the 'upper-class' will realize that they cannot make any money unless the middle class has money to spend. We are the drivers of this whole country, period. I believe that the 'community-organizer' will help us help ourselves.

bheartlib Commented on Senate was right to vote NO - Majority of Americans are against auto bailout by MiddleClassBill

2008-12-13T19:13:50Z

I wonder if those people in the poll were Faux News watchers. It goes to show just how ignorant people are, as this is NOT a bailout, but a LOAN.
The sole purpose of the southern repubs who filibustered this loan, was to bust the union. Period. They wanted to union to actually tear up their contracts with the workers. Make them irrelevant.
Here is just a little information for you. The state of Alabama gave Toyota and the other automakers (NON UNION) who moved there from foreign countries millions and millions of dollars in tax incentives and breaks to build there. So, why is it so awful for us to give a little help to Americans? While keeping the profits here in the US instead of sending them to Japan and Germany etc?
No, your Senators want Americans to make less money. How patriotic.
You and everyone who is against this loan should be ashamed.

bheartlib Commented on Happy Holidays: Military Divorce Numbers On the Rise by Paul Rieckhoff

2008-12-08T05:34:55Z

Funny. People who do not live a certiain lifestyle have so many thoughts about how that lifestyle is lived. I am a divorced and re-married Navy spouse. My first husband and the father of two of my children, was one of those sailors who had a girlfriend in every port. He also, after we divorced, was very good about financially caring for his children. My second husband, also a Navy man, a submariner, did NOT have any girlfriends in any ports, because submarines do not get port calls. We are still married, he is retired from the Navy. But...I can tell you all, military life is hard. The spouse left home with the children has the weight of Atlas on his or her shoulders. We fly by the seat of our pants. We raise our children the best we can. Alone. Because we are moved every two years, we have no support from family or friends. We are truly alone. In my day we had no e-mail. We had FamilyGrams. A once a month missive that we sent that only had good things. If the dog died...well, don't include that. In fact, before the submariners went out, they put in writiing whether or not they wanted to be told of a death in their family. They may or may not be allowed to be returned to their home.
Military life is horrible...for families. I hope things will imporove with Obama as our President.

I guess it is Gregory's turn. He has paid his dues. But, he is just a shill, like all the rest of them. Ask the easy questions, ask the questions that will insure that you will be able to ask another question. That is the name of the game.
"Prup" mentioned Linda Ellerbee. She was great. I had forgotten her...I watched her in the middle of the night when I was feeding my babies. In the late 70's, early 80's. Before cable. she was wonderful.
Rachel is smart, and she askes the right questions. But she needs a show that will let her ask the right questions. She is where she needs to be right now. She will go far...our Rachel.

If he changes to a repub, this will be his LAST senate term. Remember...there are NO repubs left in New England. So, good riddence either way.
