“I hope the justices overturn Obamacare. If it wasn’t for Obamacare the insurance system would have failed by now. The U.S. is the only country that has the means to provide quality care to all citizens but is denied to tens of millions. It’s asinine.”
“Obama’s health care plan has its origins from a plan the Heritage Foundation helped design and likely GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney put into effect. Similar plans have been endorsed in the past by Republicans like Bob Dole. But, now that Obama is backing the plan, it’s socialism? Strange.”
“I see protesters outside the Supreme Court. If protestors can affect the outcome of a court decision then we need new Supreme Court justices.”
“If Sheriff Joe wants to investigate something in the big game let him investigate the embezzlement of tax dollars in Congress by funneling billions in oil subsidies to the major oil companies. Then, those subsidies are returned to individual congressmen in the form of unlimited campaign contributions. Sheriff Joe can consider this Vent a formal complaint by a Maricopa County citizen.”
“The biggest problem with the ‘imaginary intersection line’ for red light running, is that it makes it legal and sometimes necessary for vehicles to stop in the crosswalk, blocking pedestrians, especially those using wheelchairs, from being able to safely cross the road. HB 2557 will fix this, making our communities more accessible and improving the safety of pedestrians. I hope our legislature gets it right and passes this measure!”
“With gas prices so high and going higher, I have been only buying a half tank of gas in my two cars. If enough owners would do this all the time, I think it could be a silent protest to the big oil people because their sales receipts per station per week would drop in half. Don’t fill-er-up as usual and let’s see what happens.”
“The definition of a liberal: Think of a conservative, and then remove logic and accountability.”
“To the Venter on Sunday who doesn’t like Romney: Just because he chose to serve a church mission in France, keep in mind that Bill Clinton dodged the draft, and he did NOT serve a church mission, so who’d be better for our country? Someone who served his country (by serving his church) or someone who doesn’t know diddly-squat about running a country?”
“When gas prices rise a few cents, local TV news becomes apocalyptic about the way consumers are being scammed, yet reporting on the real estate market they exalt over the ever-rising prices of homes! What makes mere pennies outrageous yet thousands of dollars noble? They claim the recent 1 percent increase in the price of homes is a good thing. So an average home ... costs an extra $2,500, amortized over 30 years, about $6,000. You can buy a whole lot of gas for $6K. How is it that an aging house that costs six grand more today is magically a better deal for Phoenix?”

The Republican hypocrite oath, We swear to God to protect every human egg and those little sperm guys. This protection will last until this baby takes his first breath, after that you are on your own. You want CPS ? cost to much, you want education ? you will receive as little as possible, you want health care ? government is to big. We are not into wealth re-distribution, our millionaires, billionaires have earned their own wealth. They may have out sourced over 8 million jobs, hid billions of dollars in the Cayman Islands and received billions in Federal Tax Dollar hand outs. They earned their money the old fashioned way, one day you might do the same.

'truth'
Ouch! But it sure fites. No way Barry Goldwater could be Mr. Republican in today's party!

Here are two video clips that demonstrate the difference between Conservatives and Neo-Cons
True Conservative: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYlMEVTa-PI
Neo-Con: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODI-NALkI4c
William F. Buckley on the left in the first video clip ( for those too young to know who he was ) was a true Conservative and was very intelligent.
Contrast him with the Neo-Con Ringmaster Rush O'Limbaugh who can only yell and scream about some young girl's supposed sex life.
Don't it make you Neo-Con's so proud?

@first venter - It seems that you are contradicting yourself. Overturn means to stop it, and in your second and third statements you are in support of it. Make up your mind.
@sixth venter - It is obvious that you don't do math well. Only filling half a tank twice as often (because you are driving the same amount) means they are getting the same sales. You actually have to drive less to make this work.

sixth venter == a lot of people have been trying to do what you mention --- AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS ---- and they deserve it. That is so dumb only right wingers would think it was smart. There is one way to only buy half as much gas ---- BUY A HYBRID or a VOLT. Buying the same amount of gas in 2 seperate purchases gives the oil company the same amount of money ... duh.

Now Arizona Willie is promoting Buckley and using the term Neo-Con over and over. Dale Whiting and Arizona Willie are one and the same.

Naw, Slabside, it isn't < now > ... I've always been a fan of Buckley.
Although I'm a life long Liberal with a capital L ... I admire and respect Conservatives who can present a reasoned logical basis for their position.
They're usually wrong [beam] but as long as they debate reasonably I'm open to their ideas --- SOMETIMES I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THEM.
Not often --- but sometimes.

It's just too bad you can't debate with out interjecting racism Willie/Dale. No one will take you seriously now. With any luck, your bigotry will be banned from EVT.

Slabside, I'm not the bigot ... it's the Republican members of Cogress who said their goal was to see Obama was a one-term President and who have voted NO on every thing he tried to do that are the bigots --- they just won't come out and say it plain and clear.
They have been voting against the interest of the people and the country in order to try to make Obama look bad.
But many people have seen through that and Obama will likely be re-elected next year.
I feel sorry for him.
Slabside posted at 8:06 pm on Mon, Apr 2, 2012.
Willie, you proglibs are all the same. If the Republican Congress (not Cogress there Dale), does not see eye to eye with the POTUS (the worst one this country has seen since Carter), then they obviously must be racists as the man in the WH is black. My God man, do you even stop to consider how asinine that is? You spin the dismal record of this man into a race issue.
It really show just how ignorant you really are. And yes, you are the worst kind of bigot.

Gee whiz, another difference between me and Willie. I'm a life long registered Republican and Willie's a Liberal, likely a Democrat.
So Slabside, you can take a trip to the AZ Republican HQ where you will find my name on their rolls of registered voters. Sorry you can't do the same with Willie. For like you, he's anonymous! Maybe I'm both Slabside and Willie? I'll be sockratties, too.
Slabside posted at 2:55 pm on Tue, Apr 3, 2012.
Dale, you being on the books as a registered Republican does not change the apparent fact that your bliefs are 100% Proglib. You can put a pig into a gorilla suit but he still will be a pig.
