"Trickle-up poverty, aka socialism, means everyone will be getting crumbs."
"Before people (Venters) display their ignorance in print, they should check the facts, such as the miscreant who said that the mayor and City Council of Mesa were overpaid. I happen to know that the mayor is working extremely hard for the people of Mesa for the equivalent of about $11 an hour. This is the only mayor in the history of the city that actually works more than full time in a City Charter-described part-time job."
"So, we have a little bit of in-fighting between a couple of Arizona Cardinals. The solution: Follow the lead of the high school recently that made student combatants hold hands. So, at practice and maybe into scrimmage of the next game, they will affectionately hold hands to show everyone they have mended fences. Works for me."
"President Obama is supposedly ‘genuinely conflicted’ as to his choice of Secretary of State nominee between Senator John Kerry and UN Ambassador Susan Rice. Mr. President, flip a coin because there is no difference. One sold out his nation by his despicable anti-war activities during the Vietnam War (on stage with ‘Hanoi’ Jane Fonda). The other one sold out her nation by lying to the media for days about a fictitious ‘anti-video mob’ attacking the US Benghazi Consulate and killing Ambassador Lewis and three other Americans. A case of tweedle dum and tweedle dee. Mr. President, now really can’t you do better than those two?"
"The truth about Susan Rice is that she is a liar and is less qualified than Pepe Le Pew to be our Secretary of State."
"So the Democrats want higher taxes (more money) and no cuts to spending? How about you egg heads show us you can be responsible with the money you’re getting now before we give you more to waste?"
"It is very funny watching the Republicans scramble around like their hair is on fire, screaming about ‘The Fiscal Cliff’. After Bill Clinton left the White House over a decade ago, the Republicans spent the surplus his administration created by giving tax breaks to everyone--but especially Bush’s rich buddies--and refusing to pay for two wars. This is what President Obama inherited four years ago. He did a good job keeping us out of a depression, but it’s clear that the GOP is stubbornly refusing to raise the tax rate on the wealthy 2 percent now, even though they can afford it and the majority of Americans voted for exactly that outcome. The GOP math just doesn’t add up, if all they plan to do is to cut deductions and loopholes--and they know it."

Vent #1: All will be good under socialism until other people's money runs out. Example, Greece. Paying one's "Fair Share" is only being considered from the eye of the taker and not from the eye of the maker.
Vent #2: Yeah, all you miscreants check your facts and then make more stupid statements. LOL
Vent #3: Does it really matter who Obama selects. Either of them aren't worth a dang.
Vent #4: Susan Rice is just as qualified to be Sect of State as Obama was qualified to be president. Which means they are both minimally qualified. Wish I could take a 4 million dollar vacation to Hawaii.
Vent #5: We all know that Obama and the democrats will want more taxes from the rich and never do the necessary reforms of welfare and entitlements. It's all politics to get re-elected to power.
Vent #6: Keep telling yourself it's all the republicans fault and sticking your head in the sand. That kind of attitude will never solve our problems. There is only so much blood (taxes) you can suck out of something before it dies.

The "Clinton suprlus" had nothing to do with either Clinton, or the GOP-led Congress. It was caused by the DOT-COM bubble, which promptly burst and erased it.

Republicans are clinging to their refusal to end the Bush tax cuts for the top 2 percent. They're offering to bring in new revenue solely by capping an indivdiual taxpayer's deductions to some arbitrary number - say, $25,000 or $50,000- rather than raise the top tax rate beyond it current 35 percent. Meanwhile, they're demanding major cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security." Even as an opening bid, this offering is disheartening insincere." Obama has already rejected it, since a cap on deductions wouldn't meet his goal of $1.6 trillion in new revenue over 10 years.The time for game-playing is over. The reality is that both Republicans and Democrates will have to compromise, and the agreement they reach, by definition, is going to to sit poorly with the "ficial fundamentalists" in both parties. To get our ballooning debt under control, we are going to need both higher taxes and entitlement reform. " that's the fundamental truth" and if our election leaders can't face it, the U.S. will take a terrifying "tumble over the fiscal cliff." Look out below

Last night on NBC 12-7-2012 the American people were told one of the biggest lies, as Brian Willians with out any question, accepted the lie of the century from CEO of Apple. Tim Cook, said that Apple's jobs were in China because the U.S. doesn't have skilled workers and had nothing to the wages of China workers of $1,50 a hour. Manufactures across America " are starving for skilled workers," said Adam Davidson. But one major reason they're not finding any is that they only want to pay manual-labor wages. Running modern manufacturing machines "requires basic understanding of metallurgy, physics, chemistry, pneumatics, electric wiring, and computer code." Yet the CEO of metal- fabricating outside of Milwaukee who tell me he's desperate to expand, says he won't hire anyone who expects a "union-type job." He pays new workers just $10,00 an hour-any wonder there are few takers.
The New York Times
Corporations can out source jobs to third world slave labor paying $1,50 to $3,00 dollars a hour and receive tax brakes from their U.S. taxes Apple taxes 1.9% G.E. taxes 7.9% no wonder this country is headin for the fiscal cliff.

Leon: In 2004 Bush won with 3,000,176 votes over Kerry, and Republicans called it a "Mandate" In 2012 Obama wins 4,682,793 votes over Romney, and Republicans call it a narrow margin. Strange huh?

VENT # 2:…….. “should check the facts, such as the miscreant who said that the mayor and City Council of Mesa were overpaid.”
----------------------------------------------
The Mesa City Council created a citizens committee to meet and recommend pay levels – the mayor of Mesa currently makes $38,000 a year and council members make $19,000.
Apparently the five-member citizens commission (and the city's Chamber of Commerce) have put the council pay issue into play this year, and has recommended salaries of $70,304 a year for the mayor and $35,209 for council members.
The Mesa City Council has scheduled a meeting to vote Monday, Dec. 10 on a prospective pay raise for the mayor and council members.

President Obama is making the panic about the “fiscal cliff” deal his threat to Congress – as he and the Democrats request that they do away the debt ceiling, keep borrowing money, and raise tax rates on top income earners for more spending.
President's plan for a series of tax hikes on middle-class people and top income earners to go into effect next year. Along with U.S. cut in defense and entitlements, and U.S. military spending.

5th venter ... you call Susan Rice a " liar " and I would ask on what grounds you make that charge.
She was given information by the CIA which she passed on in the briefing in which you will claim she " lied ".
The definition of lying is telling someone something that you KNOW to be untrue.
What she said in that briefing she had no reason or means to know was not true.
She was only repeating the information she was given. She had no means to investigate that herself.
THAT IS NOT LYING.
Now, the CIA is another matter. They gave her information THEY knew wasn't true. But SHE was not the one lying.
And the CIA often puts out misinformation. Especially in cases like this where we would like to have the guilty parties think we are too stupid to find them and that we don't even know what the hell happened.
Makes it much easier to chase them down if they don't go into hiding like Osama did.

AZ WILLIE-- So your saying that the U N Ambasador has no means of checking for FACTS, that she simply repeated what was given to her.
That sounds a bit familier. If I recall correctly there was some information given to one G.W. BUSH (as well as all democrats) about weapons of mass destruction. And all you demos called him a LIAR for 6 years.
And now we know he simply didn't have the means to check it for truth.
It's just not the same when it gets turned back on you liberals is it ??
