Republicans for Rape

I think there is more to the 30 Republicans voting no.......


The Mandatory Arbitration contract was created during the tenure of former Halliburton CEO Dick Cheney....

Data from the American Arbitration Association showed that Halliburton won more than 80 percent of its cases in arbitration, and when looking at the data two years ago, it showed that out of 119 cases Halliburton arbitrated over a four-year period, only three resulted in the employee actually winning any money. The deck was clearly stacked against Jones from day one.

 

But if all it does is restate something the courts already ruled on, why would you and Jeff Sessions be opposed to it, and try to portray it as a restriction on the ability of U.S. firms to do business? If what you say is true, Halliburton doesn't even have to worry that they'll lose defense contracts.

 

Why? How about this tenguy. Just maybe some of our representatives, like Senator Frankin, have learned from the mistakes made in Iraq and are actively trying to close the loopholes that allowed people to literally get away with rape and murder.

Maybe its time for the United States Congress to send a clear message that rape and murder will not be tolerated and aided and abetted by the US government.

 

Simple, because this is how we get the boondoggle of unnecessary laws. Why legislate what is already in place?

It makes no sense.

 

Hi Twofeathers, please see below as to why i think Obama doesnt deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1. The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.
Let’s take a look at the president’s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:

January 20: Sworn in as president. Went to a parade. Partied.

January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an “open house” party at the White House.

January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how’s that working out?)

January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

January 25: Skipped church.

January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner's swearing in ceremony.

January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.

January 30: Met economic advisers. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.

January 31: Took the day off.

February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.

So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, party some more. I just dont see it. It was given to him for what he said not what he did.

 

Hello Tezla

It was not about the Nobel Peace Prize (You answer has already been posted)

As to the title of the thread, it was the Anti-American Republicans attitudes and actions dimistrated.

"The angry opposition of Republicans to President Barack Obama now has deteriorated into opposition to anything that is good for their own country under Obama’s leadership."

Let's look how the Democrats display American attitudes and actions.....

September 21, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two of President Bush's staunchest domestic critics leapt to his defense Thursday, a day after one of his fiercest foreign foes called him "the devil" in a scorching speech before the United Nations.

"You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-New York, scolded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, was blunt in her criticism of the Venezuelan leader. "He is an everyday thug," she said.

 

twofeathers

twofeathers, this is an excellent response!

 

Thank you DL

 

Sorry about my last post, just by the few responses i read i thought it was circling around the idea of republicans not liking obama got the peace prize.

Well honestly, i have to give credit where credit is due, they defended the ex-president (later both backed a plan to impeach him though it was never brought before congress), however, i dont have to believe that they actually mean it. I think its a well calculated move on their part to show a little bi-partisianship when its coming time they will need as many votes as possible for a bill that is mentioned in another topic (not bringing it up here).

As far as the Republicans going totaly against Democrats, could you also not argue that the Democrats are totaly agains the repulicans by also voting strickly on partisan lines.

Frankly to put it into perspective, both repulicans and democrats want to control you just in a differant manner. Below is a crude drawing (lol) to show how the governement currently is.

Now based on this small graph u can see that i put the democrats and republics above and below the lines to show that they are currently on the same area on the graph just taking differant paths. Both want to make the federal government as close to complete control as possible (C). Our founding fathers (F) created the government closer to Anarchy (A) to help keep the government under control. If D or R ever meets C it will eventually crash to A, a full all out rebelious people.

At this pace, neither D or R is doing any good for the country, and we as the people need to let them know, and let them know fast.

 

We belong to a mutual, admiration society, my buddy and me.

Let's all sing along now.

 

Anti-Amerian Republicans

The Los Angeles Times’ Faye Fiore and Mark Z. Barabak observe that “Rush Limbaugh has his grip on the GOP microphone,” having become The Politically wonded party's unofficial leaderLimbaugh — who has declared his sincere hope that Barack Obama will fail — has seen his “prominence and political import” increased

Limbaugh has a long record of racism. Limbaugh lost his job at ESPN after claiming that there is a vast media conspiracy to help black athletes: "I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well."
Consider these other examples:

Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
Here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a ninety-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's "Jeffersons" when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when discussing black leaders.
​

And Limbaugh has targeted Obama in particular for racist comments, referring to Obama as a "halfrican American" and playing the parody song "Barack the Magic Negro" repeatedly.

 

That to me sounds alot like the same of what democrats complained about Bush.

"If you dont vote for this bill to fund our troops, you are not patriotic."

Same theory differant spin.

Not a Senator or Rep. but here is the Democratic way of thinking again -

http://www.examiner.com/x-21300-Ras...inst-healthcare-and-call-yourself-a-black-man

You cant call yourself Black and vote against health care.

You cant vote agains the war and call yourself an American.

 

That there says it all, I can tell you a democrat wrote this based on the term, "Wonded party", and unofficial leader.

I can tell you now, the republics will never back Limbaugh as a party leader. He is what i consider the farthest right nut in the world, deff not what repulicans represent.

 

If you try to chase out the source of a lot of those little brainwashed snippets I was talking about they'll go back to Limbaugh. Of course the conservatives don't admit they listen Limbaugh, and I don't blame them, but they still get it one way or the other.

Its not that Rush thought up or figured out where the fear/hate button is, he just feeds it with things like conservatives are patriots, liberals are communists. Just like the Republican party itself, Limbaugh has no solutions, but he's better at being irrationally hysterical than anyone else.

 

Again i make mention it sounds to me like you to are brainwashed due to your non-stop use of the word. If you search "Stumbler Brainwashed" on the forums you get almost 2 pages..... not saying all are you but it was funny

 

Only if you think that the Judicial Branch has the same function in our government as the Legislative Branch.

 

Not really,

Where Were the Teabag Protests 8 Years Ago?

Under Reagan, the budget was never balanced and debt ballooned. In fact, under Reagan the total debt/GDP ratio increased from a little over 30% to a little over 60%. Yet there were no protests. And the fact the budget was never balanced didn't seem to bother anybody. Of course, you could argue that the current teabaggers weren't around then so this doesn't count.
But when Bush took office the exact same thing happened. According to the Cato Institute, the Republican Party became the "Grand Old Spending Party" Bush was the biggest spender since LBJ. Here is what the Cato Institute wrote:

President Bush has presided over the largest overall increase in inflation-adjusted federal spending since Lyndon B. Johnson. Even after excluding spending on defense and homeland security, Bush is still the biggest-spending president in 30 years. His 2006 budget doesn't cut enough spending to change his place in history, either.
Total government spending grew by 33 percent during Bush's first term. The federal budget as a share of the economy grew from 18.5 percent of GDP on Clinton's last day in office to 20.3 percent by the end of Bush's first term.
The Republican Congress has enthusiastically assisted the budget bloat. Inflation-adjusted spending on the combined budgets of the 101 largest programs they vowed to eliminate in 1995 has grown by 27 percent.
​

Yet there were no protests.

To anyone with an ounce of common sense, it's obvious what's going on. Republican/conservative rank and file are protesting because they are out of power and their leadership is terrible. But they aren't protesting spending; they are protesting the Democratic Party's governance. And that is fine. But please, don't tell me it's about spending or debt. If that were the case, you guys should have taken to the streets years ago.

What does that mean? The judicial views the existing laws for precedence, if a suit has merit under the existing laws, it goes forward.

Why do you think they are legislating?

 

Gosh we so sorry, never looked at it that way. Go ahead and spend all you want, it's your turn now.

So what if it bankrupts us or worse turns our daughters into whores, you have it coming to you.

 

I do not understand why Democrats keep using Rush Limbaugh as a source of the hatred for all the Republicans. I am a conservative Republican and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that I cannot stand that arrogant and pompous wind bag, but he is not news. He is an opinion, his opinion, and according to the 1st Amendment right has to the right to say whatever he wants.

But there is no reason to use a person who is an opinion talk show host and opinion book author as a source of how Republicans act. How about using Congressmen and Representatives, like you did in your post about Democrats talking how Hugo Chavez called Bush the devil.
