If you live in michigan and you vote democratic this year, you should go apply for your indentured servitude card, because you are nothing but an indentured servant voting for a party that dishenfranchised you in the primary.

Same result, just more civilized. Either one, when trillions of dollars are being foisted on the backs of the servants I do feel may qualify for the occasional slang reference.

We’re all adults. We can handle the use of b-i-t-c-h. At least, it’s an age old world, unlike b-i-o-t-c-h which is nothing but slang.

No. They are called feminazis thanks to the nazis.There are a lot of nazis over there.

Two questions you must ask about Bacrock Obullshit.

Who the hell is he…I mean who is he really?

Will we have a country left if we trust him with our country?

“The Democrat [sic] Congress did nothing.”

Let’s review, shall we?

The 110th Congress has had more roll call votes this year than any other Congress in history, almost doubling the number under the previous Congress overseen by Boehner and House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL):
The House last week held its 943rd roll call vote of the year, breaking the previous record of 942 votes, a mark set in 1978. The vote was on a procedural motion related to a mortgage foreclosure bill. When the House adjourned on Oct. 4 for the long weekend, the chamber had reached 948 roll call votes, putting Democrats on pace to easily eclipse 1,000 votes on the House floor in 2007.
Last year, the Republican controlled House held 543 votes, and for historical comparison, the last time there was a shift in power in Congress, Republicans held 885 roll call votes in 1995. The Senate, which has held 363 votes this year, isn’t on pace to break any records, but has already surpassed the 2006 Senate mark of 279 votes.
Much of the lack of progress can be traced back to obstructionism by conservatives.
Approximately “1 in 6 roll-call votes in the Senate this year have been cloture votes,” noted a JulyMcClatchy report. “If this pace of blocking legislation continues, this 110th Congress will be on track to roughly triple the previous record number of cloture votes.”
It’s interesting that Boehner is criticizing the 110th Congress as doing nothing. After all, the House, under his leadership, met for just 101 days during the second session of the 109th Congress, setting the record “for the fewest days in session in one year since the end ofWorld War II.”

Less than six months into the 110th Congress, Senate Democrats have made significant strides in passing important, common-sense legislation that reflect the priorities of the American people. After nearly a decade of Republican control, Democrats have worked to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington and pass key legislation on Iraq policy, homeland security, troop readiness, veterans’ health care, economic competitiveness, ethics reform, the minimum wage, health care, education, energy independence, stem cell research, and Gulf Coast revitalization. Democrats are committed to proving that elections do matter, and we will continue to pursue the international and domestic priorities that matter most to the American people. Together, we will take the country in a new direction.

Under Democratic leadership, the Senate has passed the following measures:

* A fiscally responsible budget: a budget that restores fiscal discipline and will lead to a surplus, while cutting middle-class taxes and funding foreign anddomestic priorities, including education, children’s health care, veterans, and our troops;

* 9/11 Commission recommendations: a bill to make America more secure by giving our first responders the tools they need to keep us safe; making it more difficult for potential terrorists to travel into our country; advancing efforts to secure our rail, air, and mass transit systems; and improving intelligence and information sharing between state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies;

* Homeland security funding: legislation that provides $1.05 billion in funding necessary to address dangerous border and transit vulnerabilities left open by the Bush Administration since 9/11;

* Support for our troops: legislation funding the President’s requests for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, including $1.2 billion in additional funding for a total of $3 billion to provide our troops in Iraq with mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles;

* Health care for wounded soldiers and veterans: legislation that provides $3 billion in supplemental funds for military health care and $1.8 billion in supplemental funds to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs to accommodate the increasing number of new veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan;

* Benchmarks for Iraq: legislation that conditions U.S. economic support for the Iraqi government on its progress toward achieving key political benchmarks;

* National Guard readiness: legislation to provide an additional $1 billion to President Bush’s request for National Guard equipment needs to remedy equipment shortfalls that are compromising the quality of force training and limiting the Guard’s ability to quickly respond to natural and potential man-made disasters at home;

* Continuing Resolution: legislation providing funding for the nine remaining appropriations bills that were not completed by Republicans in the 109th Congress. In passing this legislation, Democrats stayed within budget limits, eliminated earmarks, and increased funding for national priorities, including veterans’ medical care, Pell grants, elementary and secondary education, the National Institutes of Health, state and local law enforcement, and global AIDS prevention and treatment;
* Energy Bill: landmark legislation to increase our energy independence, strengthen the economy, reduce global warming emissions, and protect American consumers.

* American competitiveness: bipartisan legislation to increase the nation’s investment in basic and innovative research; strengthen educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from elementary through graduate school; and develop the infrastructure needed to enhance innovation and competitiveness in the United States;

* Ethics and lobbying reform: a bill to slow the “revolving door” for former Senators and staff, strengthen limits on gifts and travel, expand lobbying disclosure requirements, establish a study commission on ethics and lobbying, prohibit pensions for Members of Congress convicted of certain crimes, and implement reform procedures relating to earmarks and conference reports;

* Minimum wage: legislation to increase the federal minimum wage to $7.25/hour;

* Middle-class tax cuts: the 2008 Budget Resolution provides for permanent extensions of the Marriage Penalty tax relief, the $1,000 refundable Child Tax Credit; the 10 percent income tax bracket; the adoption tax credit; the dependent care tax credit; U.S. soldiers’ combat pay for the earned income tax credit; and reform of the estate tax to protect small businesses and family farms;

* AMT patch: the 2008 Budget Resolution ensures that the number of taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax will not increase in 2007, giving Congress and the Administration time to come up with a permanent solution;

* Head Start: a bill to expand eligibility for the Head Start program;
* Stem cell research: legislation to expand the number of human embryonic stem cells eligible for federally-funded research;

* Children’s health coverage: the 2008 Budget Resolution and the 2007 Emergency Supplemental provide needed funds for the Children’s Health Insurance Program;

* FDA reauthorization: a bill to greatly improve the Food and Drug Administration’s oversight of drug safety;

* Rebuilding the Gulf Coast: legislation providing a total of $6.4 billion for victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, including $1.3 billion to complete levee and drainage repairs, $50 million to reduce violent crime in Gulf Coast states, and $110 million to repair the seafood and fisheries industries, which is vital to the region’s economic recovery;

* Army Corps reform: legislation to ensure that the Army Corps of Engineers does its job more effectively and soundly;

* Disaster assistance for small businesses: legislation providing recovery assistance for small businesses impacted by the 2005 hurricanes in an effort to revitalize the Gulf Coast economy;

* Tax relief for small businesses: legislation providing a range of deficit-neutral tax incentives designed to help small businesses grow;

* Education and training: the 2008 Budget Resolution provides for the largest increase since 2002 in funding for elementary and secondary programs; and

* Energy and environment programs: legislation increasing funding for basic science research at the Department of Energy and for energy efficiency and renewable energy programs.

It is in part taxes on the auto industry.

You have to have a little better understanding of how the auto industry works.

In other countries, the state subsidizes the auto industry heavily to compensate for tariffs and import fees and regulations to ensure that the pricing of the vehicle is highly attractive and the automaker can have a significant advantage in competing, while penalizing import autos heavily.

Thats why there is all that talk about Fair and free trade not being really fair and free.

And union leaders that are themselves corrupt, lining their own pockets and screwing over the union members who trust them. It’s a big game that the leaders play behind the backs of the members.

In all honesty wouldn’t it be better make it easier for companies to do business here. Bill Clinton would give companies huge tax breaks to go into places like Eastern Ky and other places that are desperate for jobs. Companies leave because they can’t compete. Some companies have factories spread all over the world and the American one can’t make it because of the taxes and having to pay health insurance (and having to pay an employee more than a dollar a year)… Yes, we need to do something so companies can’t just abuse the work force in asia but making it easier here would save jobs quickly and needs to be part of a bigger picture. There is no easy solution, we are in too deep that just one way won’t fix the problem. I have seen that John McCain is proposing that we try every solution. With energy he wants to do everything, with the economy he agrees we need more regulation but also needs to make it easier on business too. This is the kind of thinking we need.

Alexi, that is pure crap. You clearly don’t know squat about economics or what actually happend to the US auto industry.

It was American labor unions who, over the course of decades and with the aid of Democrats both in Washington and Ann Arbor, effectively blackmailed the management of American auto companies into agreeing to bloated wage structures, ridiculously restrictive work rules, lavish long-term benefit packages, and an inability to expeditiously fire incompetent workers.

As a result, the quality of American cars became laughably bad (I vividly remember some of the clunkers that GM and Ford put out in the 1970s and 1980s) while the overall cost structure of American automakers became increasingnly uncompetitive on a worldwide basis. The Japanese and Europeans saw the opening and eventually American consumers started buying their products because they were cheaper and of better quality.

Even after the pending decline of the US auto industry was painfully apparent in the 1990s, Detroit’s labor unions still obstinantely refused to make the needed wage and benefit concessions that would have allowed US automakers to become competitive again, and Democrats backed them up right down the line. As a result, things got so bad that Ford & GM finally had to institute massive downsizing in the mid-2000s to avoid total oblivion. Not only did about 1/3 of US automotive union members lose their jobs, but the value of the company stock that they had in their retirement accounts was merely a fraction of what it had been.

If there was ever an instance of where arrogant and bloated labor unions ruined an American industry, this is it. They literally “killed the goose that laid the golden egg.”

So believe me when I say that the LAST thing the state of Michigan needs right now is an “old school” socialistic Democrat like Barack Obama!!! It’s his mentality and the mentaility of others like him that’s gotten Michigan into this mess to begin with!

Wish you didn’t move–we could have used your help getting that bum Kwame out of office for the past 6 mos.!

(By the way, Obama told him to step down the night he already made the deal with the Prosecutor and the night before the governor was going to remove him!)

Rupert Murdock is not an American citizen.
He owns American media outlets.

PUMAS,BUBBAS, AND THOSE PEOPLE RULE
