So are they going to hang the politician that told the people to leave BofA as well for raising their rates on their customers ATM's.
Talk about corrupt government censorship at it's worst. They don't want the people to know that the Wall Street protesters are growing larger daily and are letting the rest of the US and the world know we are fed up with our crooked and corrupt politicians living off the rest of us and then want more.
If you bail out the rich, then you need to bail out everyone in America. Fair is fair, but we all have witnessed our government bailing out the rich and wealthy banks and business and not the people, and then expect the people to pick up the tab for it.
Sorry, but the people are speaking out louder and louder, We are Sick of you politicians, and we want some real change, and change now!

I find it amuzing that the WS protestors are violent and the Dems give them a thumbs up,. they get arrested, horrible people and yet the Tea party protests are not violent.. and are protesting the crap in Washington and get names thrown out at them, racist haters, violent, which is a lie.
WS protesters have NO clue what they are protesting about. They want hand outs. they hate the rich, however these Rich are the ones that give jobs, but are not right now, thanks to BO. which is why I say, BO has got to go and he will be a one term President!!! The worst President EVER
Martini, I like what you have at the top of the home thread.. "October is Anti-bully Month! Seems there is alot of bulling going on, from schools on up! People are going nuts and out of control....

Riot police have attacked the Occupy Wall Street protestors in Oakland, CA with rubber bullets, tear gas and grenades. The protestors weren’t rioting. Why send in the riot police? I guess they don’t have a squad called the “peaceful demonstration police.”
President Obama is busy trying to ease our economic problems without the help of Congress, or to be more accurate, with the active opposition of Congress. Now Obama has a new initiative to find jobs for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You know if John McCain was president, that wouldn’t be necessary—because they’d all still be staying in Iraq and Afghanistan. This plan is to have community health centers around the country hire some 8,000 veterans. The GOP-dominated Congress doesn’t care about veterans… and it sure as hell doesn’t care about community health centers. For Republicans, hiring veterans to work at community health centers is hiring people they don’t care about to do work they don’t want to see done. President Obama tried working with Congress. Now his only chance is to work around Congress. In addition, the President is taking steps to ease the loan burden on people with student loans. The only plan that Republicans have to ease the burden on those with student loans is to deny them student loans.
The Republicans want Obama to fail, or to be more accurate, the Republicans want America to fail, in the hope that will reflect badly on Obama. It would be one thing if they were just wishing that Obama will fail, but they’re actively blocking anything that would help America. It’s worse than having a “do-nothing” Congress, it’s a “do-something-bad” Congress.
Finally, the Republicans in Congress are pushing a bunch of talking points about what they call their “ Forgotten Fifteen” bills to increase jobs. They’re handing out pocket cards to their members listing the “Forgotten Fifteen.” They are so dead-set against actually creating jobs that I wouldn’t be surprised if the pocket cards were made in China.

you went shopping on Black Friday, I hope you’ve recovered... literally, for some of you. There were fights, assaults, and even shootings at Black Friday sales around the country. On the upside, sales were bigger than ever. By the end of Black Friday, the only things left on the floor of a lot of stores were pools of blood, and the occasional body. People! Enough with the violence at the shopping centers! They don’t call it the “mall” because you go there and maul people!
A woman in California sprayed the crowd with pepper spray so she could get her hands on a discounted Xbox video game console. They say these video games encourage violence. Putting them on sale sure seems to. Video of the incident shows chaos as shoppers try to cover their burning eyes. I hope the Walmart had the good sense to announce a sale on Visine in the pharmacy department. At another Walmart, a riot broke out over $2 waffle makers. OK, fighting over merchandise is just plain wrong, and fighting over a $2 waffle maker is just plain stupid. What are you going to do with that $2 waffle maker this Christmas? The riot for it was all over the news—anybody you give it to will know that you only paid $2 for it.
The Occupy movement was urging boycotts of big chain stores. They couldn’t very well have tried to occupy any of the big stores on Black Friday—they would have had to have lined up way in advance along with all those losers waiting for a $2 waffle maker. I’m sure the Occupy people didn’t want to be anywhere near any Walmarts on Black Friday. They’ve had enough experience getting hit with pepper spray, thank you very much.
I thought someday the 99 percent would rise up and make their demands heard. I just didn’t think that their demand would be for $2 waffle makers. Maybe we could take some of the energy that’s being used to fight with fellow shoppers over cheap merchandise and direct it toward creating a standard of living for the 99 percent that doesn’t require us to fight over scraps.

What exactly has Obama and the Democrats done to put people back to work? Not one damn thing. Unemployment is worse than when he took office. What exactly has Obama and the Democrats done to provide health care to the poor? Not one damn thing that I can see. Poor people are still dying of treatable illnesses in unbelievable numbers. What exactly has Obama and the Democrats done to alleviate our homeless problem? Not one damn thing. In fact, there are more forclosures and people being forced out of their homes than at any time in history. Face it. Major failure. Want more of the same? Vote BO in 2012. It's not all his fault. He sat down at the table to a crappy hand. No question about that. But he's done nothing to make it better and has, in fact, made it worse. It's time for a change.

No, Blue, I don't think you are drunk.. you are blind to much however. People voted for BO because he walked and talked and looked good. He had NO experience other than being a Community Orgainizer, which is another name for Lying Liberal Thug. There are those who actually know what BO stands for.. Communism and they want it. There are those who have no clue, but are die hard Dems and voted for him. There are those who are black and only voted for him because he was black. There are those who voted for him because they knew that he would continue the outrageous Government Programs, that you and I pay for, and keep them on them and they would not have to do a damn thing for it. You keep screaming about the rich not paying enough. You do realize how rich the Dems are don't you? Ask THEM how much they pay.. or how they get away without paying a damn dime. Sure there is corporate greed, there is political greed as well. Who do you think buys BO and many other politicians? Yes, my dear.. Corporations do. Its ironic that the OWS protesters are protesting these corporations that put money in BOs pockets and helped him get elected. Educate yourself about all that.. Its not just the Republicans, hun. The OWS protesters need to be sitting on the steps of the White house demanding the spending stop, demanding the "greed" stop. But, they are clueless, as IMO.. you are.

Have you heard that Herman Cain is in a new scandal? My first question would be “Who was Herman Cain?” That name sounds familiar. Oh yes, now I remember. Herman Cain was last month’s Newt Gingrich. Herman is the one who replaced Dick Perry or Rick Perry, or whatever his name was. A woman has come forward to say that she was involved for 13-years in an extramarital affair with Herman Cain. The woman said the affair ended 8 months ago when Cain was preparing to run for president. That’s what prospective candidates have to do—end the extramarital affairs, wrap up the half million line of credit at Tiffany’s, and fire the landscapers that use illegal immigrants. Herman, learn to embrace these occasional scandals. From here on, that’s the only time anyone is going to pay attention to you.
Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich is every bit as consistently hypocritical as Mitt Romney is consistently inconsistent. Newt has absolutely no self-awareness. But then, if you were Newt Gingrich, would you want to be aware of yourself? There isn’t very much that Newt Gingrich should be able to criticize other people for, because there isn’t much that Newt Gingrich hasn’t done wrong himself. You know what they say about people who live in glass houses. Well, Newt Gingrich lives in a glass mansion on a glass estate, with glass guest houses, glass tennis courts, an Olympic sized glass swimming pool, and a 16-hole glass golf course.
Michele Bachmann has revealed that she wasn’t invited to junior or senior prom in high school. Too bad you didn’t know Marcus back in high school, Michele. I’m sure he would have taken you to the prom. In fact, I bet he would have offered to design your dress.
A battle is shaping up in the Senate over how to handle terrorism detainees. The legislation being considered would require that terrorism suspects be handled by military courts, with the possibility of a waiver if a civilian court seems preferable. Basically, the waiver gives the authorities the option of obeying the Constitution… if they want to. We aren’t supposed to be a country that’s run by a junta of generals like some South American banana republic. Even South American banana republics don’t operate that way anymore.
And yesterday was the biggest Cyber Monday ever! And nobody got pepper sprayed, shot at, or had their body trampled. My only question is, why wait until Monday to do online shopping? Anybody with a lick of sense would be shopping online on Black Friday instead of being involved in a fistfight over a $2 waffle maker

It is a freedom. This is true. And it's an especially good one for those of us who aren't intelligent enough to put a sentence together. In addition, it's far preferable than trying to decipher the jibberty jab you think passes as posting. Please. Carry on.
By the way? It's not "paste and copy". You can't paste before you copy. It's "copy and paste". And you consider this "fun"? Perhaps it is to those who can't put a complete sentence together, but wish to appear that they actually have a clue. Those of us who possess even a modicum of intelligence find it far preferable to actually type what we think - not what someone else thinks.

I find it especially ironic that you make an issue out of Mr. Cain's sex life and that you (well...not really you but your post) pretty much call Marcus Bachmann a homosexual (like that's something really bad); yet you support a man (Obama) who hobnobbed with people who bombed the Pentagon (William Ayres and the Weather Underground). As Mr. Huckabee said:
"If you hang out with somebody who has never apologised for bombing the Pentagon and the United States Capitol and is proud of something he should have been ashamed of, then it calls into question your judgment."
But hey. An affair is much worse, huh?

And what about Obama's drug use? Here is a passage from HIS book, "Dreams From My Father".
"I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though—Mickey, my potentional intiator had been just a little too eager for me to go through with that."
His yearbook photograph had a little ditty written below his picture that said, "Thanks, Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang and Ray for all the good times." Know what the Choom Gang is? "Chooming" is Hawaiin slang for smoking pot. So, our President has admitted to smoking pot and using cocaine.
But an affair is much worse than all this, right? LOL!!!

Hi Nanna, Blue and SnowAngel. How ya'll doing?
Nanna, not to be argumentative here, but where you get your facts might not all be true. Since most of us rely on news papers and the news for information, not all the information given is fact, and in a lot of cases taken out of context to make a story more interesting to the viewers.
This is what I hate about the news and politics. They give you bits and pieces of a story and not the whole story in its entirety, and then they spin it the way they feel best in doing so.
I feel that the media should be airing the full 3 minute video of a political candidate instead of a small 15 sec blurp of it and then make a story on that 15 seconds they cut out of a 3 minutes video.
I feel if they cannot show the full video, then they shouldn't be showing any of it to try and manipulate the viewers or to try and confuse them.
FOX News is really bad in doing this, but I also have noticed that the local news stations are beginning to do the same as FOX, and this is because they want ratings. I'd rather have the truth than to listen to a bunch of low-class media reporters.

I gather all my info from many sources and check it out before I make a judgment. No way do I just listen to lamestream because they swing it to the left.. and leave out the facts. I like Fox because they have both sides/both opinions on it. I read.. So.. no, I do try to get all the correct facts before I jump on an issue. And I disagree about the Lamestream mimicking Fox.. So untrue.. The lamestream have been leaving out the entire story to swing it to the left for years, that is why I started watching Fox as well. I watch both.. to get the entire story.. and to prove what I have been saying all along.. The lamestream, (Brian Williams for an example) is very bad at doing this and have been.

I dont think u should care if or why I paste copy You haven't heard because you are not listening. They have proposed many things Blue..but it gets rejected or buried. THe Dems are the reason of the latest fail. Republicans tried to compromise.. but the Dems refused, shot it down.. and now want to blame the Republicans.. But anyone who is really paying attention to it.. knows it was the Dems that did this. And what's BO's plan? How to make jobs? huh? waiting? So are thousands of others who are out of work. BO went on a spending spree.. put us into more debt.. promised unemployment would not go above 8% and it did and has stayed over that his entire office term to date. His stimulus failed.. Face it.. BO is a failure.. and the American people made it clear in 2010 and will again in 2012

Finally! Something in your own words. And this is a very good question. I haven't heard their plan either. But let me ask you. What is the Democrat plan? They've had four years to improve things. What is their plan? I haven't heard it. And the one they have now certainly isn't working.
Things aren't getting better, Blue. They are getting worse. Surely you can see that. I don't know what the Republican plan is. I dont' know what the Democrat plan is. Do you?
So if you are going to vote based on the fact that you haven't heard the Republican plan to provide more jobs for the American people, then I guess you can't vote Democratic either, right?
We need a plan for America. We need to quit being so stupidly partisan and quit dividing ourselves down the middle. Find a candidate that has the best chance of helping America out of this crisis and vote for him/her - knowing that no one person can do it alone (despite all of Obama's promises that a good portion of America somehow believed). Be mindful of who you elect as Senators and Representatives. Forget about party. Remember America.

Newt does have a plan
The Gingrich Jobs and Prosperity Plan
Creating jobs and getting back to 4% unemployment is the most important step to a balanced budget." – Newt Gingrich America only works when Americans are working. Newt has a pro-growth strategy similar to the proven policies used when he was Speaker to balance the budget, pay down the debt, and create jobs. The plan includes:
Stop the 2013 tax increases to promote stability in the economy. Job creation improved after Congress extended tax relief for two years in December. We should make the rates permanent. Make the United States the most desirable location for new business investment through a bold series of tax cuts, including: Eliminating the capital gains tax to make American entrepreneurs more competitive against those in other countries; Dramatically reducing the corporate income tax (among highest in the world) to 12.5%; Allowing for 100% expensing of new equipment to spur innovation and American manufacturing; Ending the death tax permanently. Move toward an optional flat tax of 15% that would allow Americans the freedom to choose to file their taxes on a postcard, saving hundreds of billions in unnecessary costs each year. This optional flat tax system will preserve deductions on charitable giving and home ownership, and create a new personal deduction of $12,000 for every American. This deduction is well above the current poverty level, ensuring that this new system does not unfairly target the poor. Strengthen the dollar by returning to the Reagan-era monetary policies that stopped runaway inflation and reforming the Federal Reserve to promote transparency. Remove obstacles to job creation imposed by destructive and ineffective regulations, programs and bureaucracies. Steps include: Repealing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which did nothing to prevent the financial crisis and is holding companies back from making new investments in the U.S; Repealing the Community Reinvestment Act, the abuse of which helped cause the financial crisis; Repealing the Dodd-Frank Law which is killing small independent banks, crippling loans to small businesses and crippling home sales; Breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, moving their smaller successors off government guarantees and into the free market; Replacing the Environmental Protection Agency with an Environmental Solutions Agency that works collaboratively with local government and industry to achieve better results; and Modernizing the Food and Drug Administration to get lifesaving medicines and technologies to patients faster. Implement an American energy policy that removes obstacles to responsible energy development and creates jobs in the United States. Balance the budget by growing the economy, controlling spending, implementing money saving reforms, and replacing destructive policies and regulatory agencies with new approaches. Repeal and replace Obamacare with a pro-jobs, pro-responsibility health plan that puts doctors and patients in charge of health decisions instead of bureaucrats.
Fundamental reform of entitlement programs with the advice and help of the American people.
