Democratic elections should be a concern of the entire world.  Corruption isn't in the world's best interest.

Let alone she's constructing another straw man argument.  ;D  She really does need to look that up and see why it's been used recently to describe her posts.  :yes:

Jobs aren't coming back and unemployment isn't going down unless the Corporate-Capitalists get their way - and that way means crap for you.

The Corporate-Capitalists have been spoiled by being allowed to move jobs where there are little to no regulations and where they have a slave labor workforce but have been allowed to sell here at ever increasing prices.

The Corporate-Capitalists aren't going to give up those corrupt advantages unless we make them.

Now you may be a 'house nigra' and long for the warm caress of servitude, but there are people who won't swallow that crap.

Get a clue, Hank, and change.  Take your religion to actual heart.
Kind of a conundrum huh?  If they can't make money there is no incentive and if there's no incentive there's no where to work so one ends up working for the government factory making only what the government tells them to make and getting paid a pittance because they're getting free health care and government handouts so we're all equal at last.  Well, except for the ones in government 'cause they're creating jobs for the rest of us.  I did shorten that up a little but you can fill in the blanks I'm sure.

Don't worry, she won't get it.  I've explained logical fallacies to her before and it got me nowhere.

If they can't make the robber baron's share and pay slave wages. 

Now tell me in whose interest is that?

If there isn't a basis for intelligent discussion sans logical fallacies, why discuss?  You missed the entire point of Palehorse's post by constructing a straw man and attempting to argue against and defeat a position that he clearly hadn't taken.   Look it up.  You'll see the fallacy if you bother to look.

They are so conditioned by the emotion eliciting propaganda their ilk has been pounding them with, that it is the only way they know how to react.  :yes:

So you would rather the government made the robber baron's share and pay slave wages I take it.  Well, as long as we get free health care and government hand outs at any rate.  At least we'll all be equal, equally poor that is.

  Sandy, Mourdock must have been dropped when he was born.  Even with his past record the Tea Party Republicans voted him in saying that Dick Lugar was too moderate.  Mourdock is so bad the Old Dick Lugar won't support him.   :yes:

  But you can bet your sweet puttootie that Henry and "Me" will be at the polls with bells on to vote for him.   :yes:  Lugar would have been a shoe in and a Senator with seniority and as much as I hate it.  We will have nothing but a big pile of hateful shit in Washington DC,  "Dick" Mourdock for 6 years.  :puke:

Holy Hell! ANOTHER one and this time running for Indiana senate!  :eek: :eek: :eek:

NEW ALBANY -
Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock says when a woman is impregnated during a rape, "it's something God intended."

Mourdock was asked Tuesday during the final minutes of a debate whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.

He replied: "I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that's something God intended to happen.". . .

I cannot believe people are actually trying to spin this statement today int he light of day. This guy is a prime example of the "leadership" we should expect from the tea-billies and their ilk. I LMAO at the ads where ol'Mitt himself is endorsing this jackwagon, and now today he is trying to distance himself from him. (Your favorite corporation's money at work).  :mad: :mad: :mad:

   What else you you expect of Our Man Mitch, he's a scab on a pimple's ass.  Can you imagine Mitch running Purdue University.  The dumbing down of a college education.  :doh:   :wink:
