POLITICAL JOKE VIA EMAIL

Posted: Aug 6, 2014

Hamas is attacking. Israel is defending. Russia is invading. Boko Haram is massacring. ISIS is marching. Iran and N. Korea are threatening. American cities are crumbling. The southern border of the USA has dissolved. America's debt is skyrocketing and Americans are hurting. Our enemies are laughing.

Obama is fundraising.

Please take it easy on Obama, it's his first job!

At least make it funny! - That wasn't even clever

I can take a joke - either side of the aisle.

Yeah, it's kind of a sad truth. - sm

But the OP said the author was unknown.

I wouldn't worry too - much about it...

[ In Reply To ..]
If you get your wish, before you know it you will have Rick Perry , Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or Ted Cruz or even Marco Rubio to solve all of the above problems. And of course none of them would dare to do any "fundraising" while they were in office.

Are those really the only choices? - nm

RP and JB... I know, sad, isn't it? Kind of makes you long for the days of Sexy Sarah and Richie Romney.

RP? - sm

Rand Paul or Rick Perry?

Rick Perry... - He's now wearing

glasses, presumably to look intelligent enough to be "presidential."

The email I received...The American - Conundrum...

[ In Reply To ..]
Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:

1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.

The truth is simple. Self sufficiency is a lost - art in America. I remember

Reality has a way of messing with the best - laid plans of socialists. nm

Social Security is socialism ... - Best laid plan?

[ In Reply To ..]
..and it's worked fairly well since 1935. It's kept a lot of old people from starvation and living on the streets.

And there is no Social Security lockbox. The young are paying for the old: Despite the premiums that people pay in, most people get more than they paid in back.

This country doesn't want pure capitalism. They wouldn't stand for it.

Not the same thing, but nice try. - NM

In addition to the Medicare and SS tax on pay stubs, - they should add Obamacare

[ In Reply To ..]
and all the other social service taxes, just to give us an idea what or who we are working for.

How about letting people opt out of SS and - invest as they please? nm

It won't happen because govt has replaced the - family, your savings, and

just about everything else you used to do on your own.

Whoo, yeah, the stock market was an incredibly safe place to invest in 2008, huh? - me

Thank goodness the U.S. Government was around to keep the world from going into a deep depression.

People have such short memories it's unbelievable.

It's been handled like pension funds, that's why it's - been bankrupted by politicians. nm

How about staying on topic with the subject? - The joke, that is.

[ In Reply To ..]
Open a new thread if you want to talk about RP or SS or anything else. The above posts have not been reported, but they could be for not staying on topic. Just sayin...

You replied to the OP. She was the originator of the subject - nm

[ In Reply To ..]
nm

Yes, I did. I'm the OP. I didn't want to single anyone out. - Not a problem, but...

[ In Reply To ..]
...I figured if someone wanted to make a point about RP or SS, it would be seen easier as a separate thread. Plus, that is what we're supposed to do. I once had a post removed because it went off topic.

Why not put this on the "Comedy Stop" board? - sm

You really can't blame people for wanting to talk politics on a POLITICS board!

Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare running out of money?

did this so I am just sharing for anyone interested. Dear Friend, As the first year of the Obama Administration concludes with the State of the Union, the White House is inviting Americans across the country to connect directly with some of the President’s senior advisors. Through WhiteHouse.gov, these leaders will report to you on their work and answer your questions on where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading. Every morning this week at WhiteHo ...

In an effort to bridge the political gap and build momentum for comprehensive health insurance reform, President Obama will hold his health care summit tomorrow at the White House, which I'll be streaming live on my website at http://blumenauer.house.gov/. Tune in and watch at 7am Pacific. As I've made clear over the last year, health insurance reform is too important not to pass. In the last few weeks, I've been stunned at the news accounts of skyrocketing pr ...

"If we lose, it's your fault." No one plays the blame game better than Obama - I will give him that. He is pathetic. Plus they were saying on MSNBC (I know a fave by all you Obama liberals) that David Axelrod appears wild-eyed and panic stricken - going off the rails, so to speak. ...

Okay, I get ads all the time in email. No big deal, just delete them out, but this one REALLY has me ticked off. It's for "Dragon Naturally Speaking". It has a button to opt out, but I'm tempted to send an email to the person who provided their email address and tell him exactly what I think of their program. Their program just cost me my job. And their twisting of words (maybe not twisting, but in my mind it is) to make it sound like it's a great program. ...

Earlier this summer a State Department spokesperson told CNN that Hillary Clinton hadn’t broken and rules or policies with her use of email while Secretary of State, a revelation which was almost inexplicably ignored by most other news outlets. Than an FBI spokesperson told the New York Times that Clinton was not a target in their email investigation, which was focused on hackers; rather she was being viewed as the potential victim. Again, the major news of a second federal agency giving Clint ...

I have been wondering what the angle was on this email scandal witch hunt has been. I had forgotten the millions of emails, lost or deleted. Republicans really have no shame, and no filter. The Bush administration also lost 22 million emails. They just so happened to lose the emails from the architects of Bush’s torture policy. Within those 22 million lost emails were five million emails that were lost relating to the 2007 firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. The Bush administration denied ...
