there are people--including Republicans--who think he's been literally losing his mind for the past few years.  Alzheimer's, whatever you want to think it is, he's apparently been acting strangely enough that the party overlords are eager to run someone else against him because he's one of their weakest links

CNN's headline for Jindal's speech tonight:  "GOP rising star's speech is 'coming out party.'"

Go ahead and tell me again how liberal CNN is.

The GOP is doing a masterful job. I'm even beginning to forget there are any white Republicans.

You have to be kidding. CNN covers both sides of things, but they are clearly left leaning. One headline about a Republican does not discount years of liberalism.

Now don't get me wrong, CNN reports news and does a good job of it. They even take swipes at liberals when it is obvious that they deserve it, but come on.

that was pretty amazing what obama did yesterday...a live televised press coneference but instead of the press you had republican lawmakers asking the quesitons...pretty incredible...kudos barry

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You gotta farging be kidding me...

The good news is that the more of these pork-laden spending bills the Democrats pass, the faster a 3rd party might actually get some traction against these iceholes.

Congress sucks at spending our money wisely.  Period.

[ice grillin you]

less than 1% of the entire bill is "pork" according to the article and thats even if what they are calling "pork" is actually "pork"....if you dont like the spending thats fine but get off the "pork" talking point its really very silly...

every single spending bill that has ever been passed by congress has some "pork" and every one for the rest of time will have "pork"...in fact anytime any private company spends a lot of money they waste some of it on "pork"...

hell i go to the grocery store and always walk out having bought something i didnt need....its what happens when money gets spent....get used to it

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Pet projects for Democratic districts = PORK

Everything can be spinned into a positive, but this is ridiculous.  The government has no money and is spending more and more.  It's not just the Democrats, either.  It just happens to be them this time because they've got the power.

[ice grillin you]

just say you dont think the govt should be spending money and that this bill  shouldnt exist

thats fair

but when you use the pubs current favorite word to complain about it you sound like a mindless bickerer

PORK is from both sides of the aisle.  I've never made it a partisan issue.

just say you dont think the govt should be spending money and that this bill  shouldnt exist

thats fair

Ok, then...
I don't think the government should be spending money.
I think this bill shouldn't exist.


Thanks.

aww...everybody loves everybody!

PORK is from both sides of the aisle.  I've never made it a partisan issue.

sure but its been dropped by the pubs in the last month more than it been uttered by anyone in the last eight years combined...its the talking point du jour right now from the right wing even tho none of the bills passed or proposed have been even close to being pork ridden

Ok, then...
I don't think the government should be spending money.
I think this bill shouldn't exist.
Thanks.

no...thank you

see how easy that was and you did it without any help from up and comer bobby jindal
