yeah, vote Republican......so they can continue to create morality laws like UIGEA and make our lives miserable.
Sometimes JJ is dumber than a box of rocks.
JJ's entire life-----is SBR----and SBR's business, and JJ's life would get a whole lot better if the UIGEA was taken away----which it would have been had the Dems controlled Congress for one more round.
Oh well. Vote GOP. And in 2 years we will have lower taxes for the top .00001%, but there will be 11 more laws making internet gambling punishable by public stoning by then.Comment -
The republicans are the ones solely responsible for the bullshit UIGEA law. As a die-hard conservative, there's no getting around that fact and its why I abstained from voting in the 2006 mid-term election.
However, when it comes to government intrusion in our daily lives, the democratic party is LIGHT YEARS WORSE than the republicans.
Remember its the democrats that want to take money from the pocket of those that produce and give it to lazy bums who refuse to get up off their lazy rear ends and get a job.
Its one thing to offer to lend a helping hand to people who are working as hard as they possibly can but don't possess the intelligence to get anything more than a minimum wage job. These people deserve our help because they are doing all that they can to produce for the good of the country. However, the democrats continue to try and increase entitlement spending to those who refuse to do anything. That is what I object to.
Whether we like it or not, Barack Obama is going to be our president for at least the next 2 years. If we have learned one thing, its that our government runs like shit when one party has full control of all 3 branches of government.Martin, Barney Frank has been talking about doing away with the UIGEA ever since it was passed 4 years ago and had 2 full years of a democratic president and filibuster proof majorities in both houses of congress.and JJ's life would get a whole lot better if the UIGEA was taken away----which it would have been had the Dems controlled Congress for one more round.
There were all sorts of bills that Barney Frank could have attached his UIGEA killing legislation to and NEVER got around to it. The truth is the democrats don't give a damn about repealing the UIGEA. If they did give a damn, it would have been repealed already.Comment -
all the republicans scream about redistributing wealth... yet 99% of them dont fall in that tax bracket that is affected by the repeal of the bush tax cuts.
they are fukking brainwashed. working class republicans are the equivalent of a chicken endorsing KFCComment -
What I was pointing out is that if people think that voting Democrat will waste tax payers money and voting Republican will save tax payers money they are dilusional. Both parties are equally capable of wasting the tax payers money promoting their agendas which are always not taxpayer friendly.Comment -
Voted all REPUBLICAN a week ago in Florida. Not too fired up about any of the candidates but I cant stand Alex Sink.Comment -

The top 1% that are affected by Obama's "soak job" are not just going to sit and take it while he tries to take what they rightfully earned. The top 1% are the ones that create all the jobs and will make whatever adjustments they feel are necessary to avoid unfair tax increases levied on them by Obama including:
Shutting down businesses that are no longer profitable as opposed to keeping them open.
Outsourcing a larger and larger percentage of their labor needs to foreign countries
Moving their entire businesses outside of the U.S. if they feel its necessary, etc.
All of these things will lead to higher unemployment and will put more people out of work (one of which might be you).
IN addition, the democrats are harmful to the working class in other ways besides raising taxes with ObamaCare being a great example. If ObamaCare is implemented, the middle class is going to get absolutely screwed as they are going to see a massive reduction in the quality of the medical care that they and their families receive and they will be financially powerless to do anything about it.
Of course, the democratic politicians who crafted the ObamaCare bill behind closed doors made sure to exempt themselves from having to participate in it as well as squashing a slew of republican sponsored measures which would have forced all politicians to participate in ObamaCare along with the rest of us.
While it might be a stretch, I assume you can figure out why its beneficial to the working class if politicians are forced to enroll themselves and their families into ObamaCare. There's a reason why they made it a point to exempt themselves even though they knew the public would scream bloody murder when it was discovered they did so.
Unfortunately, most democratic voters are just like you and don't think things all the way through and we all suffer greatly as a result.Comment -
WOOOHOOOOO!!!! LETS TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY YA'LL!!!!!! DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!! Sounds like what a redneck honkey would say. Funny.Comment -
Andy, you probably are a believer in the trickle down effect, and that everyone will flourish if we just give more tax breaks to the top 1%. Clueless is rightComment -
The top 1% pay a 36% tax on their income while the bottom 50% pay either no tax at all or pay a 10% tax on a tiny portion of their income. IN addition, the bottom 50% use way more by way of government services than the top 1% do.Andy, you probably are a believer in the trickle down effect, and that everyone will flourish if we just give more tax breaks to the top 1%. Clueless is right
Even knowing all of this, you still refer to the extension of the Bush tax cuts as a "tax break" to the top 1%?
Why is it the responsibility of the rich to make sure that "everyone else flourishes"?
IN the U.S., every single person has the chance to succeed with our president Barack Obama being a great example. He grew up in a poor neighborhood and had next to nothing by way of luxury. With hard work, determination and a little luck, he has become the most powerful man in the world.
In the vast majority of socialist countries, Barack Obama would NEVER have been given the chance to become what he has become and I don't want my country going down the socialist road.
Profane, I know how easy it is to say just stick it to the rich and maybe I'll benefit somehow from it. However, in the end, taxing the rich too heavily will not benefit this country. Obviously, you feel differently which is certainly your right.Comment -
Maybe we need to freeze paying taxes for everyone for 4 years while the Republicans are in office. Then the economy will flourish again since there will be no money available to fund anything.Comment -
This fukk isn't worth the price of a bullet..
Probably doesn't even realize it's idiots like him that make liberals lower the standards of living, lower education standards, just to make everything "fair"... Fukking ruining the country!
Without white people you'd be fukked pal..
Don't you ever forget it..
And white people are the only hope this country has of recovering, so go praise Jesse jackson or Al Sharoton you aimless fukkstick cause it's idiots like you that don't raise their children that ruin it for everyone..Comment -
The bottom line is you should NOT vote straight GOP or straight Dem.
My god----even if you are the strongest of republicans-----Christine O'Donnell is a nightmare. That lunatic needs to get a real job and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the US Senate.
The Dems have nightmares too. Blumenthal in Connecticut is a gigantic douchebag. He lied about Vietnam, then instead of retracting---just lied again.
Pennsylvania actually has two good guys running for Senate----Pat Toomey (GOP) and Joe Sestak (Dem). Sestak is a Navy Admiral for god's sake-----and Toomey is conservative but he isn't scary like Rick Santorum.Comment -
If I can change one vote today I did my jobComment -
Read my lips... "no new taxes"
Sure Republicans won't raise taxes.
Both parties are more alike than we the clueless admit. We're the pawns on their chessboard. We do all the work, get emotionally charged up over made up issues and they make the decisions whether you like it or not.Comment -
The problem is something else, whatever you do you won't change anything.
You support the problem and defend it at every cost.
Should have listened to your forefathers.Comment -
That is misleading---because the Alabama Republican Spencer Bachus and Arizona Republican----John Kyl attached it to the Safe Port Act---which was created to fight terrorism.
What ******* politician in their right mind is going to say no to a bill aimed at Port Security and stake his political life on internet gambling over a safe port?
Bottom line---it was two REPUBLICANS-----Bachus and Kyl that gave us UIGEA.
I don't expect JJ to know this---but the rest of you should know better.
And for the record-----the Dems are just as crooked-----as it was pointed out---they had the political might to end the UIGEA but failed as well.Comment -
We need to stop catering to poor people and lazy people
Dems do this
Vote REP you mother fukkers and lets get out Country backComment -
Andy, you can't have it both ways. So, is it a fair assumption that you are against medicaid and social security ?
The top 1% do not stimulate this countries economy, and you know it. The middle class does.Comment -
Finally I Agree with you, no dems and of course no ObamasbrComment -
What specifically did the republicans do (without support from the democrats) that put our country into "this state"?toatlly agree and now since were in the state that we are.they are blaming the democrats what a bunch of ******* idiots the republicans are because those dumbasses are the ones who put us in this state
The republicans haven't had any real power since January 2007 and what sent our country into a tailspin was the financial crisis of which the democrats deserve the majority of the blame.
The democrats have had full 100% control of our country for almost 2 years and after TRILLIONS of stimulus spending specifically designed to reduce the unemployment rate, its still sitting at 10%.
Liberal democrats continue to be the party of absolute hypocrisy. What would the wacko left wing say if President Bush made a comment that the democrats have to sit in the back of the bus?Comment -
republicans are the reason you'r neteller card doesnt work any longer. republicans are the reason it is so hard to get money into or out of
your accounts. republicans are the reason your house is worth 25% less today. republicans are the reason the country is in debt so deeply
(deficits dont matter they said). republicans are the reason there is no longer a middle class in america, lets not forget republicans are the reasson the twin towers no longer grace the manhattan skyline.
VOTE DEMOCRATIC FOR YOURSELF YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COUNTRY.Comment -
Martin Blank is absolutely right about the republicans being solely responsible for the UIGEA. However, it was Bill Frist who was primarily responsible for getting it attached to the Port Security Bill considering he was the senate majority leader at the time.
Without Bill Frist, there is no UIGEA.
Andy, you can't have it both ways. So, is it a fair assumption that you are against medicaid and social security?Profane, you are correct in your assumption that I am against medicaid and social security. The federal government has no right to tell us that we are incapable of saving for our own retirement and force us to pay into the pyramid scheme called social security.The top 1% do not stimulate this countries economy, and you know it. The middle class does.
The tax dollars that I pay into social security go directly to somebody else of the previous generation. Does that sound like a reasonable retirement plan to you? Why shouldn't I have the right to do what President Bush suggested and have my social security tax dollars go into a private account with my name on it and to ensure that my money isn't being paid to someone else?
I pay approximately $15,000 annually in social security taxes with absolutely no hope of ever receiving a dime when I turn 65 (by then, the program will be "needs based" with those paying in the most getting nothing out of it.
I don't remember ever claiming that the top 1% are the ones stimulating the economy. However, its important to remember that anyone can recklessly spend and while excess spending is good for the economy, it doesn't make it right.Comment -
Republicans declared war on the middle class back in the 80's under Reagan.Comment -
Andy, I'm sorry your memory is failing you, but When Clinton left office, he left a surplus.. can you remind us what Bush and the Republican controlled congress left us ?
Republicans can no longer claim to be the fiscally responsible ones. Sorry
Where would our economy be if Bush didn't start unnecessary wars?
Something you tunnel vision republicans will never admit is that Obamas stimulus and bail outs worked. Yep. Is unemployment still near 10% ? Yes. WHERE THE **** would it be if the automobile industry went under and the huge banks went under?Comment -
Andy, I'm sorry your memory is failing you, but When Clinton left office, he left a surplus.. can you remind us what Bush and the Republican controlled congress left us ? Republicans can no longer claim to be the fiscally responsible ones. SorryProfane, I noticed how when you mentioned the surplus under Clinton, you completely leave out the republican controlled congress that was responsible for creating it (congress is responsible for monetary expenditures NOT the president).Where would our economy be if Bush didn't start unnecessary wars?
I can NOT defend the deficit that was accumulated under President Bush and the republican congress. There was no excuse for it and I was extremely critical of my party for doing it. Now that Obama and the democratic congress are creating deficits at a rate of 3X President Bush, will you stand up and criticize your beloved democrats for doing the exact same thing but at a much higher rate?
Are deficits only bad when republicans create them but good when democrats do it? Are starting wars only bad when republicans do it but good when its a democrat? There's that dreaded hypocrisy creeping up again among the liberal base.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dherd is correct about the online gambling part and 100% wrong about everything else.
Obama wastes TRILLIONS and he blames it on republicans?
Dherd, after reading your liberal left-wing rant, its kind of a shame you weren't on that fateful Marshall plane.
Enjoy tonight's election, LOL.

I'm done posting for today as I am getting tired of removing all of those DISGUSTING [COLOR=IMPORTANT] bugs that keep popping up all over my postings.Comment -
Exactly.
UIGEA was snuck through just before Congress adjourned for mid-term elections attached to a safe port anti-terrorism bill. There wasn't even time to debate it on the senate floor because it was added literally minutes before the votes. And with the re-elections upcoming no one in their mind would've voted against it. The GOP being the sneaky bastards they are would've used it to claim anyone who voted against it were friends of al Qaeda.
I don't see how the Democrats are to blame for UIGEA considering they have been the ones trying to overturn it since its passage. But laws are nearly impossible to repeal once they pass.Comment -
Andy, that comment about the plane is low class, but very expected of a republican. How many heads have you stomped on today Andy ?Comment -
