“DNC talking points” is really an oxymoron, since they don’t actually HAVE a point, unless we consider opposing everything to be a point.

At least that’s what most of the libs who come on here call us. Feel free to add any other stereotype you can think of.

The three biggest lies ever told are:

3: “The check is in the mail.”

2: “Of course I’ll still respect you in the morning.”

And at Number 1: “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”

Steve McNabb has been anything but shy in the last six years. He’s spent his time fighting the federal government and telling anyone who’ll listen. In the process, he’s become something of a cult hero, and what happened at his plant has become a kind of scaled-down, environmental version of Ruby Ridge.

–Regulatory Scheme Protects Investors by Curtailing Stock Research
where the Wall Street research settlement of $1.4 billion in fines engineered by Eliot Spitzer, brokerage firms were forced to write duplicative research on the stocks that the big firms’ already follow, neglecting over 700 smaller stocks.

Just wait til Judge JB gets a piece of Spitzer. Hmmm, a new catch phrase ‘got spitzed’?

Is that ever since the “War on Poverty” started?

I love to show you this counter about the average American (or poor American) compared to the average European (will you read it)…

The following are parts of the 1st of 19 pages….:

The following are facts about persons defined as “poor” by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports:

Forty-six percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor by the Census Bureau is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage, and a porch or patio.
Seventy-six percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, 30 years ago, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
Only 6 percent of poor households are overcrowded. More than two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
The average poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens, and other cities throughout Europe. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 30 percent own two or more cars.
Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
Seventy-three percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a third have an automatic dishwasher.

Where are you getting that stat from, some DNC talking point? That sounds like you lifted it straight off some Kerry/Edwards commercial.

You must be talking about all those Americans who complain becuase they spend more than what they have.

Can we see some sources, please?

It’s what’s wrong with liberals on the economics subject. While we know that liberals are well-intentioned (on the economics subject) they do not understand economics (or what capitalism means) and subsequently opine with the belief that conservatives are “evil” or “not well intentioned” and “mean-spirited” and therefore it escapes us but people like Robert actually write things as if we beleive in child labor.

Those like Robert will continue to lose elections until they start rejecting their own minds opinion that conservatives actually want child labor or churches to burn or racism or the destruction of the environment, etc.

It is up to Robert to rise up to the level of a civil debate about economic policies or continue with the SAME pattern of believing things about what we believe when we don’t believe them.

Huh? You want to run that one by us once more?
