Click at your own risk. <blockquote> Oh, great! While republicans should be throwing everything at Obama, they are forming a circular firing squad. Barton comments were right on the mark, if perhaps a bit ill timed, because it gave the MSM media something to focus on to try shift the blame from their messiah. </blockquote> Yep - shoulda waited for just the right moment to apologize. Like right about never. <blockquote> Jeff Miller and Michael Burgess don’t seem to be able to recognize the truth when they hear it and should be removed from office ASAP! </blockquote> The amazing thing is - NOBODY seems to <del>be stupid enough to</del> recognize this "truth" - and admit it in public. <blockquote> So does Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) think Obamah should be Judge, Jury & Pay-Master? Just where does the rule of law apply to what Obamah is doing Jeffery? </blockquote> "Obamah?" Fuckwad. Want more?

That's what they want you to think!

I say, "mostly," because he does support gay rights, and some other, typically liberal, social policies. We are able to get into it about politics without rancor, which is rare, and sometimes enjoyable. <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3610/3445751512_55533675f4.jpg" /> The other day, I decided to send him <a href="http://www.ctj.org/obamastaxcuts.php">this link</a> in an email entitled "what's not to like about this?" <blockquote> Recent polling shows that most people believe President Obama has either left taxes the same for this past year or actually raised them. The truth could not be more different. The President cut taxes for 98 percent of working people in 2009. Read our fact sheet for details. </blockquote> His reply is over the fold. rss@dailykos.com (Hookah) TaxDay Taxes Wingnuts _857491 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:05:12 +0000
