The items that Al calls questionable are not in question, except by the yahoos that are determined to remain unsatisfied.

Conspiracy theories are born of ignorance.

Baxter said...

Jim -

It's funny what you said about my dream - that is funny coming from someone who has long wanted to smoke GWB's "pipe".

Obama couldn't sell pussy on a troop train? Huh? He was able to pass healthcare reform, something that had eluded presidents for the past 100 years. He passed a near trillion dollar stimulus package and just today passed the largest financial reforms in 70+ years. All this despite Mitch McConnell's desperate efforts to prevent ANY Republican cooperation.

Let's hope Obama is just as unsuccessful in passing the Debt Commission's recommendations in November or December.

Baxter Obama passed health care on behind closed door BS...Cooked the books with the CBO as now they come out and say OOPS we just forgot about that Dr Fix that was taken out and now it will be an additional 135 billion...where were the numbers before the bill was passed...Then we need to talk about the recent abortion thing...you remember the provision in the bill that said no federal funds would go to fund abortions...OOOPS looks like the Big O has been caught in another one of his BS lies...Penn is getting 161 million for abortion clinics, and NW is getting 60 Million for the same...what happened to the days when you could look someone in the eye and believe them...Obama is a lier, and about as corrupt as they come...I know I forgot Baxter it is Bush's fault

Baxter said...

Al -

Legislation is passed behind closed doors - that is how it is done. Bismark complained about it in the 19th century, comparing it to sausage making.

I support a woman's right to choose. I'm not familiar with the abortion data that you cited. Perhaps we should print up posters comparing our president to Hitler. Oh, thats right, that's already been done. Just take a glance at the racist and dishonest signs at a Tea Party gathering.

How come Jim and Riegel never complain about the racist attacks on our president?

Mark Chaney said...

Nobody on the left seems to disregard "O" being compared to Lenin :) just Hitler! Hmm. From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs - Marx, how fitting.

Baxter said...

Welcome back, Mark!

We have missed your contribution - sincerely. I thought we might see you after Labor Day, when "the silly season" heats up.

Mark Chaney said...

Thanks Baxter, good to hear from you. Hope you are having a good summer!
