Sorry, but it is not my day to watch him. BTW, from past experience, working people do not always get lunch breaks or any breaks for that matter. Oh! And apparently you had lunch at 8:00, 12:00, 2:30, and 4:30. I started at 6:30 am and my breaks used to start at 5:30 - and that is pm.
When I see you taking those who share your ideology to task for posting copypasta, then (if I haven't fallen out of my chair in shock) I may consider this as a reasonable line of criticism. As it is, it appears that your approach to this topic is lazy and simple-minded.
But it is your day to speculate that he must be working and I must be loafing around sponging off of uncle sucker. When you assume you make an ass out of YOU. Try minding your own business for a change lap puppy.
True enough. We should ignore the fact that Bain saddled the company with overwhelming debt. It's obvious that has nothing to do with its subsequent bankruptcy. I'd be very interested to see credible evidence that shows that Bain lost money on Ampad. If you have it, you can directly refute Tiabbi's statement: That would be a nice feather in your cap.
I never speculated anything about him. Nothing. I cited my past experiences and your entries. You tried to add the rest. BTW, Notice how I managed that without any slurs. You ought to try it some time.
You say that as though there is a problem making money. Last time I checked, that was the goal - for most of us anyway. And you have yet to show that any single employee was harmed in any way by Bain expansion of the company - let alone that Bain is responsible for anything that happened after they became public - debt or no debt.
If Bain owned stock when it went bankrupt (likely), they lost money in the bankruptcy. That in no way, shape or means implies that Bain lost money during the entire Ampad dealings across the decade + it was going on. That just proves Mitt was a good manager while he was there. You have yet to show me any indication that anyone lost except the stockholders during the bankruptcy. Even if they did, what makes that bad across the entire operation? Besides, there were 1,530,078 bankruptcies in 2010 and more in 2011. 90% of all companies go bankrupt. It is not a felony. On the other hand, Solyndra's bankruptcy might be many felonies.
Little Joe Nation said: What an extremely convenient disinterest you have developed as I have already pointed out. What it says to me is that you want it both ways in both situations. You want to call Democrats out as the party of cut and run when they are against the war and then turn around and condemn them after they have inherited your mess from the war you were formally for because they haven’t “cut and run”. How convenient! Now, just who in hell said I was FOR the war! Just where are you getting all this misinformation? Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war. President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups. http://articles.cnn.com/2008-01-23/...-flaws-iraq-and-al-qaeda-study?_s=PMOLITICS Riiiiiiiiight!!! I wouldn't necessarily consider someone making a "false statement" about a topic when the information they've received isn't accurate. It would be the same as you passing along that the sky is sunny because somebody at the water cooler you trusted told you so, but you didn't look out the window to see that it was actually raining. That's not a "false statement"; it's an inaccurate representation based on unsubstantiated information. Unfortunately, a president (any president) relies almost solely on people reporting information to him on which to base his decisions. I seriously doubt you didn't tow the the Right-wing line at the time since you never seem to vary from it any other time. I can't pull the old posts but I do remember your stance just the same. Check your memory, pal. I don't "tow the Right-wing" line. You need to verify information before you start spouting it. Show me where one soldier from the U.S. "invaded" Libya. Yeah, we've had this conversation before. I said that unleashing the entire might of the American war machine upon Libya in the form of Tomahawk Missiles, Drones, B2 Bombers, etc. is an "invasion". If any country sent that type of firepower onto American soil, you can bet your liberal ass it would be considered an invasion. I suppose you think we were over there playing Tiddly-Winks? You and the entire crazy Right-wing simply are stuck with the problem of deriding success. Not an easy task. Please feel free to ignore each point you can't refute. I'm used to it. The only thing Obama has done that one might consider "successful" is his invasion of Libya. To clarify, it's "successful" if you consider a "success" as invading a country that didn't attack us and wiping untold amounts of its citizens off the face of the earth including innocent children. If you don't agree that was a "success", then you must certainly deem it an unqualified failure. Mercy! I despise spending my valuable time pointing out your idiotic illogic, fallacies and downright lies. But, if I don't do it there are some gullible liberals on here that you will try to fool.
Welcome back from your short absence, CoinOKC. Teddy really missed you while you were away. He was not too happy talking to just me.
Thanks, but I wasn't on any sort of absence as Little Joe assumes. I actually have a life and spend it in the real world as opposed to Little Joe in his liberal fantasy land. My time on this forum is minimal and is only for my own amusement or for the edification of nut-job liberals and/or misguided socialists.
I get that. I guess you could say that, as bad as it has been and is right now, it went about as well as could be expected. It's taken longer than most people expected but from my point of view it's been handled relatively well considering the difficulties getting to this point. I guess I'm cutting our bewildered leaders (represented by Jr. & Obama) some slack? ......
My world view began to change when I went to Iraq. My eyes were opened like a kick to the nuts when I went to Afghanistan. And I am not buying for a second that the current President is some kind of non-interventionist or that we couldn't already be out of Afghanistan. If he ever was as a Senator, he sure as hell isn't as a President. It is a fact that if he had his way, we would still have combat troops in Iraq. And it is a fact that Afghanistan is the longest running war in US history and he keeps it going. That country will be in the same shape, if he or Romney ever eventually let us leave, as it would be if we left today or several years ago. They will go back to the same civil wars and tribal conflicts that they always have. And Iraq is the second longest war in US history and, while I don't blame him for starting the war, he tried his best to keep it going and going. So it is hard for me to give him credit for ending it when the only credit for that actually goes to Iraq.
They are the number 1 and number 2 longest running wars in US history. My slack tightened up a few years back. But, on the bright side, it turned me into a non-interventionist. On the bad side, it helped leave me without a major party who I can vote for.
