Oh my.

The carpetbagging maternal ancestress of the Bostonian Drunkard; in case one doesn't know, she's an attorney.

Is there any way to implement the Jobs Plan without Congress?

I am embarrassed at my ignorance of how the federal budget works. I do know that in many states and municipalities the chief executive can move money around. Somehow I feel it's not enough for Obama to just lobby Congress to pass the Jobs Plan...can he implement at least some of it by executive order?

Raven's pretty ignorant in a lot of things regarding government.

Congress has to authorize expenditures.

For 8 years they bitched, they whined, they moaned, that Bush was a dictator. Now that their guy is President, they actually want him to become a dictator.  :mental:

Harry Reid employed the "nuclear option" that you DUmmies are applauding, and prevented those evil rethuglicans from bringing up Obama's Tax bill for a vote. Now STFU and go make your son a sandwich.

Wallduded DUmmy Raven is thinking about how the ignorant fundies who run Rindge, NH moved money away from her,
and then moved a much smaller amount to the assistant who replaced her.

You know this?   There is not one state or municipality where this is true, so I am going to need an example.

Actually, don't be too hard on the Bostonian Drunkard's mum, sir.

Per her own son's recollections a couple of years ago, she went to night law school, not regular law school.

Just like Dan and Marilyn Quayle did.

Of course, nothing wrong with that.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

Yeah, do like my daddy did when I didn't want to work...tell your worthless son to go get a real job or move out. Tell him him his worthless ass can't live in the basement if he doesn't have a real job.

Who needs congress.

Its projection, because deep down inside their minds, beyond all the cognitive dissonance and doublespeak training, they know they are assholes, and their ideology is assholistic. When they want to slander someone else they think about what it is they would do in the same situation, and then project that onto their target.

10. Actually, it would be easier to just simply ban the republican Party
   
More specifically, to criminalize the funding by declaring the GOP as an illegal organization under the RICO statutes. Once financing is banned, it would be illegal for republican activity to occur. That would actually be the ONLY logical step we can take to prevent this crap from happening.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Masshole refugee.  Nuff said.

Oh, and Raven?  You claim to be a member of the bar yet you're not aware of Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution?

You're about as much of a legal scholar as our esteemed Pretender in Chief.  Hopefully come 1/20/13 you're BOTH be unemployed.

The Bostonian Drunkard's mother already is unemployed, sir.

She's retired, started collecting social security retirement checks a couple of months ago.

Of course, if she were "means-tested".....
