4 right wing co workers
 jumped me today at work about how the republicans were going to kick democrat asses this November.

I looked at them (all of them are about my age) and said, I'm 59 1/2 years old and looking forward to retirement. Republican politicans are all running their campaigns on giving the wealthy another huge tax cut and then raise the social security retirement age to 70. I said, only a damn fool would shoot theirselves in the foot just to be able to say my party won!

Not a peep out out of any of them as I walked out.

3. Well done!! 
It's amazing how many republicans will not sit down and do the math and realize that their party is actually working AGAINST them, not FOR them. The "gop" only pushes hot-button issues because they know it will get their sheep to the polls.

Too bad that they don't think for themselves and choose, instead, to follow father Beck, brother Limbaugh, and sister Hannity.

11. Good work !
 I live in a predominintly blue town in a blue state. The guy around the corner has his McCain/Palin bumpersticker on his pickup along with his "Remember in November" and "2%" stickers. He's a firefighter, a union member, a working class guy. I can't help but wonder every time he drives by, why he would vote against his own interests ?

The DUmmies always ignore the threads on DU about how Obama's "Cat Food Commission" is going to ruin Social Security.  They still try and blame conservatives for it. I have yet to hear one conservative talk about SS.

Oh for cryin' out loud, ya DUmbass! If they raise the retirement rate it won't effect anyone over the age of 50! You really don't pay attention, do ya? Even at that, they're talkin' about raising it to "67"!!!!!! Not frikkin' "70"!

FOAD, you uninformed POS! I do feel a little sorry for ya, as you live in a "Blue, Blue" City and State! You'll be the first to starve to death when the gubmint collapses because we're just printin' money to pay for your worthless ass feel good moments!!

I guess the DUmp idiots consider anybody paying taxes to be "the rich."

The Bush tax cuts cut taxes for everyone who paid taxes and revived the post-9/11 economy.

Obama has spent something like $1 Trillion and the economy is still languishing and will continue to languish once the Bush tax cuts expire.

As the Barakalypse draws near, the bouncies are going to get worse and worse.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I think it's going to get much worse if any of the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire. Married couples will take a big hit.

That will be a nice preset from the O-man to all the gays who recently got legally married in the states that allow for it.

If you're worried about retiring on SS ....

Worst Retirement Plan EVAH!

Come on DUmmies.  Take some responsibility for your own retirement and life.  Sure I want SS to be there when I decide to retire.  I did, after all, put an awful lot into it BUT I won't be using it for my retirement plan.  I'll retire when I want to then I'll draw my SS when I want it.

DUmmies/liberals/progressives take note, the government can not spend your money better than you.  Well, maybe it can in your case but you can hire good financial planners to take care of you.

Perhaps the right wingers shut up because they realized anyone counting on SS to fund their retirement is too stupid to plant petunias, let alone have an intelligent conversation with. Somehow it never occurs to them the silence is being utterly stunned than anyone could be that fricking ignorant.

My wife and I are dreading this.  At least we have a child, but the tax credits for her are being halved.  Personally, I see the Dems being almost completely out of the political landscape for two generations after this--and if they try to ram through stuff in the lame duck session, it could be over 50 years before they see power again, and the losses will be felt from the Congress right down to dogcatcher of Berkley CA.

Another reason to oppose gay marriage...the last thing we want to do is place undo burden on a precious & abused minority group. Why put them through the horror of watching their dreams die just because their combined income puts them in the dreaded "rich" income bracket.

I can be there early Monday morning for the watering job.....I'm not supposed to pick up anything heavy but I figure if they don't exert themselves much they can't need much water.....a sissy 4 qt. watering can ought to do it.

I have a question--what the heck does (nt) mean---

Now this got my attention ---- in one of the posts the writer said they were 59 1/2 years old,   who over the age of 18 adds that half a year in to their age.?  

Cinide you gave me a laugh about the taxes on married Gay people.  


Mom to me--Why don't people get married anymore.?

Me to Mom-- because it means you can't date around anymore.

I would think that a married gay couple have much more problems then a heterosexual couple.  There are no blood ties by children in common, if you put your spouse on your medical insurance it becomes very difficult to get them off if they walk out on you.

Living the gay life is no bundle of Joy.  If I walk out into my yard and kiss my husband when he comes home, if hubby were a woman I am sure the neighbors with kids would object to a public display of affection.

Legal issues, one of the married gays parents die and leaves a bequest to their child. As the money came into the couples hands after marriage a partner can take a hike with half the money.

I really don't know why Gays want to marry, they can get legal wills drawn up, life insurance in their partners name, agreements that are difficult to break for medical care, for their partner or the partners children.

The whole question of Gays confuses me, who makes it a requirement that gay marriage or heterosexual marriage include SEX.

Someone with a bit of time should go post the current birth year /  benefit schedule from the current Social Security page then casually mention how it was that sly ole fox LBJ who raided the hen house to finance Viet Nam so he wouldn't look weak on defense.
