Oh goodie. Another GOP politician who revises his statements when confronted with them. Even the revisions are weak. Just more whining and no solutions. Just more devisivness and no desire for unity. The people are tired of the GOP hate.

It is upsetting to me to find that more and more divisive political tactics are used at a time when the U.S. needs a calming influence. This clown, added to Newt Gingrich announcing a possible Presidential run, certainly screwed up my morning.
No President is perfect, and I’m not happy with some of what Obama has done and is doing, but he still has to play with the house deck, and the cards that were dealt him.
We’ve reached a point as a country where the politicians believe that the public lacks even a grain of sense; the politicos and pundits then go on record as being idiots in the expectation it will get them elected.
Are we looking at a Palin/Gingrich slate in 2012?

Spending on social programs, to help people do nothing for themselves, simply makes those people entirely dependent, and not independent.

Rick, can you site where you found this information? Check out the 2008 US Dept of Health and Human Services report to Congress called “Indicators of Welfare Independence”. According to this report, the majority of people on welfare use it as a stop gap measure. It is a conservative myth that social programs are somehow “bad for America”.
The truth is that after 8 years of dismal job growth (only 3 Million new jobs during the Bush era), and while those same years generated more wealth than ever, America’s poverty rolls increased from 31.6 Million in 2001 to nearly 40 Million in 2008.
Conservatives like to talk about a choice between big government and small government. Well, now that our economy pushed Millions of people into poverty over the past decade – families, children, unemployed – what should we do? The real debate is over what kind of nation America should be, what are our priorities, and where should our federal money be directed.

To someone THAT far off the scale to the right I guess almost anything else seems “left.” Doesn’t he know the world is flat and he’s going to fall of the extreme right side?!~

How about we end some of the corporate welfare? Why does a super rich hedge fund manner pulling down a huge income still get to pay only a 15% tax rate and other poor slobs making less than half a billion pay 27%?
too many republicans still fighting tooth and nail for the super elite – who have pretty much drained opportunity dry.

Don’t forget the suicide financial bombers at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.
