Today there was nothing but good news about the economy, the stock market, and the unemployment rate that fell to 6.1% everywhere except Fox news.



You should cross post this in the Right Wing Media thread. Maybe find a similar graphic reporting on unemployment when Bush was in office.

The "Obama MUST GO TO THE BORDER" is just another in a long string of right wing attempts to bring him "to heel" by making him do a thing, dating all the way back to the 2008 campaign with McCain trying to make him attend a schedule of debates etc. devised by McCain, trying to get him to suspend his campaign etc., and there have been intermittent efforts by others in this regard. poo poo won't stop until 2016.

And if he did it they'd say he was a political opportunist looking for camera time and attempting to help get immigration reform going.

Any suggestions as to which organization I should be helping out, exactly? What would that volunteer work entail, since I've never done that sort of thing before? Would I be going door to door with flyers, manning a call center, organizing files, what?

Usually they want you to cold call and canvass, since no one wants to do that stuff.

Someone explain to me again why there's even a Social Security cap at all? Because that would fix that loving problem right there. Just raise the cap or remove it all together. What's the reasoning behind capping it on the first place?

Do the math and prove it. Otherwise, I stand by my "you're an idiot". I'm not talking about doing a stoner road trip. I've done plenty of those. I'm talking about actually traveling coast to coast and visiting Cities along the way where you get to know people other than your road buddies. Show me the math and prove I'm wrong.

Just by example, Motel 6 costs $40 per night and that awesome Irving Hostel someone mentioned has a price tag of $57 per night. (Ooops, I missed one in Irving that actually goes for $28.55 a night).

When I did it, we had tents and used campgrounds. We also rigged up the back of our truck so we could sleep in that too if we had to. What are we debating again?

It's gotten to the point where I can't stand the sight of people with American flags or the words "Freedom" or "Liberty". The Tea Party has usurped just about every bit of those three things to the point where they're poison.

I agree with you but maybe these will help (even though he's dead).

I went to pay my mortgage today and realized my payment book was empty. When I called the bank they said the Federal Government had made them suspend the practice of payment books in lieu of monthly statements which seems stupid.

Anyone know about this? Why'd they pass this law and who was behind it? What's the reasoning? I was fine with my payment book.

They blame that on Clinton and Carter. My right wing father and law has never even heard of the Glass-Steagal act.

I'm aware, but it was Republican legislation and my hard right Republican father in law, who blames Clinton and Carter (TCRA) had never heard of it.

I don't know why these displays of racist bravado make me so angry. Maybe because it's directed at children. Maybe it's because the people spouting it are literal human garbage. I really don't know.

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

This is weird. I've been watching FOX News all day and haven't heard a word about this.

They cooked the books, etc.

I get to see my name on the ballot in tomorrow's elections, so there's hope yet!

I ran as a write in against Ander Crenshaw in 2004 on the platform of "no candidate should run unopposed" and got like 50 votes, near as I can tell. Far as I know, officially, my name is "Other". At least you got your name on the ballot.
