Man, this guy must have a bottle of scotch next to his computer. A bottle 3/4th now empty since he first started posting.

This is what we get when a day has gone by and not once have you addressed any of the direct questions that can be established by fact.

Sorry to rain in your parade ex lax. You've been on this board for years and I know you crave that lost year where all oh saw was your own idiot posts.

I just feel really happy to be a progressive today as always.

And I'll see you before then. Up do come back November 2016.

Can't wait

You clearly think there is a silent white hater majority that will swing this election.

It's GONE.....maybe, if as case Deaton told us, lower class whites hadn't been killing E selves with alcohol, drugs, and depression, they would still represent a majority of the electorate.

But I guess those unfit for survival just won't survive regardless of how much help they are given. That's why same sectors for blacks and Latinos did much better in case - Deaton analysis I guess.....better fitness....More used to hard work and adversity probably as opposed to,spoiled whites who had it better for years than their own talents would have brought them

Please stop with the BS that every cop, firefighter, and soldier is a hero. Many are some are not. Jingoism doesn't cut it anymore. The reason a lot of vets don't get VA help is that qualified health professionals determine that they don't need it.

Absolute BS!

You have got to be the biggest idiot posting to this discussion to have posted that sentence.

The one area most liberals and conservatives can agree is the problem with the VA was scandalous. Veterans were dying BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T GETTING SEEN BY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.

I suggest you educate yourself on the subject before posting anything so stupid in the future.

It's pretty clear even with auto correct errors it's just that you Gus don't like to acknowledge there are kids living next door to you who are SCREWED for life because of the bloodlust of war mongerers.

You always act like you don't know what's being talked about so you can ignore the blood on your own hands for stoking this crap.

You never served and are not close to ANYONE who has.....that much is CLEAR

Were they drafted, or did they join of their own free will ?

He had 59% of Union households in 2008. He lost a percentage of those voters in 2012. They aren't considered blue collar? And pretty much looking like Dems will be losing more of their votes in 2016.

Democrats Losing Support of Blue-Collar Voters

As to your point about education, Smartguy. According to Cornell's Roper Center.

EDUCATION

Some HS: Obama 64%, Romney 35%

HS graduate: Obama 51%, Romney 48%

Some college: Obama 49%, Romney 48%

College graduate: Obama 47%, Romney 51%

Sure looks to me like Obama got elected by the uneducated.

Guess you're the one who ought to be signing off.

Flint, Michigan (CNN)The Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator for Flint, Michigan, has resigned, the agency said in a statement Thursday.

"EPA Region 5 Administrator Susan Hedman has offered her resignation effective February 1, and EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy has accepted given Susan's strong interest in ensuring that EPA Region 5's focus remains solely on the restoration of Flint's drinking water," the agency said.

In late June, then-Flint Mayor Dayne Walling wrote to Hedman, seeking information about the issue of lead in Flint's drinking water. She essentially shot him down in her response.

"The preliminary draft report should not have been released outside the agency. When the report has been revised and fully vetted by EPA management, the findings and recommendations will be shared with the City and MDEQ (Michigan Department of Environmental Quality) -- and MDEQ will be responsible for following up with the City," Hedman wrote.

She had also fallen under fire for allegedly retaliating against EPA employees involved in investigating sexual harassment cases.

In case there is any doubt, Hedman is a Democrat.

Their Region 5 Administrator, Susan Hedman, told the Detroit News that she had been “seeking a legal opinion” on whether or not the EPA could force action for most of the spring and summer but she never received a response from her bosses until November. Even if we’re to accept the premise that the EPA couldn’t force any action, if you know that there are toxic levels of lead in the water, wouldn’t you at least tell somebody? You don’t need a court order to pick up a phone and call the newspapers and say, “Hey. The water here is poisonous. You might want to clue in the public to get some bottled water.”

Compassionate heart of the conservative on full display.

Yes they enlisted. Many did because they felt patriotic after 911. Many others did becuase.....how many jobs were there for young people.....even college educated.....during the worst of the Bush recession?

Conservatives fluff the troops a lot when they are skiing for votes but your attitude betrays how you really feel about troops.

Call Ryan and tell him to introduce a stand alone bill for vets services. Take the po,I tics out of taking care of the troops. But he will NEVER do it.

Until you address that dilemma your beatings fall on deaf ears. The republicans can take excellent cafe of the vets as soon as they wont. Introduce a clean bill.

See unlike you ex lax....who every day is able to take your place as a member of the 101st division of republican keyboard commAndos...I live a little more in the non virtual world than you.

Please answer these simple questions:

1) where is legislation initiated?

2) who holds the house?

3) is speaker Ryan capable of drafting a bill to support vets? Has he ever? If so please tell us when....we can look up bills and see how EVERYONE voted.

4) if a bill hasn't been introduced can you venture a guess why boehner and Ryan won't let s clean bill to fund services come to floor?

Gathe round folks...all kidding aside...wTch ex lax dodge those questions like he does all like them

He can't possibly do so and still keep his feet in conservative ever never land.....facts are funny things...


Ask him to explain how republican support for troops is manifested. Of course, now he stills us they enlisted so......

As soon as vets can't be used a props see how fast they throw them overboard? Survival of the fittest is going to be tough on Republican Party when so Fe are fit to begin with

Tee hee Bwah hahahahahahahahahahahahzhs

The NY times showed yesterday by reviewing governors email what kind of systematic effort was run out of the governors office to shift blame to local officials. He's coming clean now.....sort of....now that he can't get away with that anymore.

But conservatives have their own reality. All those excuses will circulate on fever swamp sites for years.


Simple questions.......what agencies monitor water quality and tell individual water systems when to issue advisories , take action , etc.....?


The state the state the state the state the state


And how about gov Rick Snyder asking for federal disaster aid as WELFARE to help him out.....I guess it should be used for governor created disasters as well as weather and such.....people are in need.

Did Snyder think to turn to private charities rather than federal help? Isn't that the nutte mantra?


Things are going to collapse more fo you guys before election. Honestly, I feel like I rubbed a magic lamp and a genie is granting my wishes.

Again blame the fed? I told you ...my PLUMBER knows the effect of corrosive water on various pipes and the hazards they create but I guess the republican administration doesn't have anyway with. Much knowledge as my PLUMBER

You guys roll at 5000 rpm pointing T people to blame..listen to snyders comments..it's clear HE understands.....he needs to manage the liability issues for the state.

More effective financial management by republicans.....settlements gonna be huge to cover costs of caring for damaged people

In 1963 the Democratic party was less pro-civil rights than the GOP. Kennedy basically had to be brought kicking and screaming to the table by MLK and others. Jackie Kennedy (one of the most banal and despicable celebrities of 20th century...) was a rabid racist. Eisenhower actually gave the civil rights movement a major boost in Little Rock in 1957. The Democrats were really two parties - northern progressive liberal and Dixiecrats from the confederacy. The DNP needed the Dixiecrats in 1960 so they dodged civil rights. So Malcom X was right in the context of 1963 but LBJ changed everything - as did Clinton and Obama - the GOP moved away from civil rights after Nixon was elected. Goldwater was the last socially progressive and fiscally conservative GOP nominee or President until GHW.

- Cujo

I didn't include his full quote, but here it is.

"In this deceitful American game of power politics, the Negroes (i.e., the race problem, the integration and civil rights issues) are nothing but tools, used by one group of whites called Liberals against another group of whites called Conservatives, either to get into power or to remain in power. Among whites here in America, the political teams are no longer divided into Democrats and Republicans. The whites who are now struggling for control of the American political throne are divided into "liberal" and "conservative" camps. The white liberals from both parties cross party lines to work together toward the same goal, and white conservatives from both parties do likewise.The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives. "

And I didn't include this either.

"Think how the late President himself got into office by only scant margin which was "donated" to him by Negro voters, and think how many governors and other white politicians hold their seats (some by less than five thousand votes). Only then can you understand the importance of these white liberals place on their control of the Negro vote!

Politically the American Negro is nothing but a football and the white liberals control this mentally dead ball through tricks of tokenism: false promises of integration and civil rights. In this profitable game of deceiving and exploiting the political politician of the American Negro, those white liberals have the willing cooperation of the Negro civil rights leaders. These "leaders" sell out our people for just a few crumbs of token recognition and token gains. These "leaders" are satisfied with token victories and token progress because they themselves are nothing but token leaders.

According to a New York Herald-Tribune editorial (dated February 5,1960), out of eleven million qualified Negro voters, only 2,700,000 actually took time to vote. This means that, roughly speaking, only three million of the eleven million Negroes who are qualified to vote actually take an active part. The remaining eight million remain voluntarily inactive...and yet this small (three million) minority of Negro voters hold the decisive edge in determining who will be the next President. If who will be the next President is influenced by only three million Negro voters, it is easy to understand why the presidential candidates of both political parties put on such a false show with the Civil Rights Bill and with false promises of integration."

Now in 2015 you can insert whatever victim group you wish instead of "Negroes". The same strategy applies particularly now that liberals and conservatives have sorted themselves into Democrats and Republicans.

Not going to get into weeds on Flint. I am a water quality expert and have been following is for months. NY times just reported in governors emails and outlined the manner in which governors office systematically tried to shift blame to local and state officials.

Flint council had NO authority in matter that vote was a feel good vote AFTER the state treasury backed the council up against the wall, then suggested the waters with as a cost saving maneuver.

I remind you that state governments have authority for monitoring and maintaining water quality. Who sets standards in MA? Individual,towns? nope. Same there.

This story is like an iceberg. When the details come out its gong to be a swift kick down the steps for all these authoritarian emergency managers and the republican governors who appointed them to shave dollars at the expense of the lives and well Bing of our own citizens.

Ex lax has shown empathy for homosexuals in Iraq but his grinch heart feels nothin good those (mostly) black kids poisoned by there governor


Republican values at work.

Like I said "Says who? A uber liberal "water quality expert" who as far as we know isn't located in the state of Michigan nor connected with what's going on there, but who we do know reads uber liberal media sources.
