To JTBB: Don't want you to miss my message

Posted: Sep 11, 2012

posted under the sequestration messages lower on this page. I've been busy reading articles so am getting a bit behind, but you will find my message to you about "Ryan Killed It" interesting.

Enjoy.

I think what you're missing here...sm - JTBB

is that the pubs voted as a block, which Ryan could have and should have worked with to get an agreement. Simpson-Bowles is not a democratic plan, its a bipartisan plan, so why would pubs go in with party line voting? Yes, there were dems who voted against it, but they did it for various reasons and not as a group. Ryan also tried to add into the bill a plan that would make Medicaid block grants for states, and of course that was the poison pill.

Also of note, John Spratt (the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee) voted for the plan, and one of the other House Democrats on the Commission, Xavier Becerra, subsequently indicated a willingness to act on entitlement reforms, while none of the three House Republicans were willing to budge on taxes.

The real bottom line is that pubs didn't vote for it because it didn't repeal Obamacare.

Sometimes you have to look into the causes and not just the effects.

BTW, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I think it is an interesting topic with numerous arguable points. :)

Glad you liked it. I thought it was interesting. - backwards typist

Those articles I'm reading are older articles. I'm trying to figure out how I can source them and/or make most of them fit in 1 message.

I'm going to sleep on it tonight and hopefully come up with a way to do it tomorrow.

I think to get a true grasp of it all...sm - JTBB

A timeline of events leading up to the final vote would be necessary. Maybe we could work on that together when we have time. So, I think the older reports and documents are exactly where we need to go. :)

To the poster that asked me what you did to deserved to be banned - Moderator - please read

I didn't ban you. I don't know who you are, but I have not banned anyone. Please send me an email and I will get it cleared up for you.

Thanks,

There's a billboard in Minnesota with a picture of Dubya and the words "Miss me yet?" Who paid for it? It's a secret so far. We don't know if it's anti-Obama or anti-Bush, if it targets people who forgot already the disaster that was the previous administration or if it wants to remind people how bad it was. According to Fox News, Megatudes (which calls itself the "mother of all anti-Obama stores) is marketing a bumper sticker with the "miss me yet?"/Bush picture. If ...

I have a best friend since grade school, on into adulthood, raised our children together, etc. About six months ago she adopted a new religion (I'm not sure if she is now Jewish, if that is the correct term?) but she has completely distanced herself from me and everyone we knew, including some of her family and is only involved in her new religious friends. It is so strange that she has made a 100% transformation, she is learning Hebrew, wearing head scarves and only dresses, I ...

Miss Beverly Hills tries to one-up Carrie Prejean, says it’s divine law that gays be put to death. Last year, Miss California Carrie Prejean endeared herself to the right wing when she answered a question about same-sex marriage by saying that she believes marriage “should be between a man and a woman.” Now, Miss Beverly Hills 2010 Lauren Ashley, who will compete in the Miss California pageant in November, has gone further. Ashley told Fox News that not only is she against sam ...

love diversity — except when other people don't parrot their exact political opinions. The newest Miss USA, District of Columbia’s Kara McCullough, found herself at the center of controversy during Sunday night’s pageant when she chose to answer questions with words that didn’t toe the accepted politically correct line. McCullough, 25, answered a question about affordable health care by saying health care was a privilege and not a right. She said the country’s focus should ...

I have just deleted an entire thread of a message talking about hate and racism directed towards one party. I do not want to believe a poster posted just to get an argument going with name calling of the other side, but that is what the entire thread turned into. Whether or not you agree with the other party, please try and refrain from posting just so people can argue, call others racists, haters, biggots, and try and "teach the other side a lesson". I'm sure I will get a lot of fl ...

While this video is geared toward reaching the black community, I believe it is something that many, if not most, Americans should hear. It spells out clearly the dangers of having a government that is too intrusive, too big, too powerful, and the lives we face for giving them all that power. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have." Thomas Jefferson ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. I have not finished yet. I have been deleting posts from all sides (that is both conservative and liberal). Stop insulting/ridiculing posters. Everytime I remove an insult another comes up. If you don’t agree that is fine, simply state why in a logical and adult fashion. There is no reason to write hateful remarks and ridicule any poster and make fun of them because you don’t agree with them or like what they ...

I'm slowly getting to all the insults. Please give me time. Feel free to report posts. I will get to them, but please do not report posts with excuses that don't fit the post. Do not report posts because you don't like what the other poster has to say. Nobody wants to hear that their side is doing wrong, but as stated previously, say what you want of politicians. Please do not report that someone called a politician a rat, ferret or something el ...

Now it’s time for an act of God and we’re getting it.” We are to take gr ...

Seems like the board is filled with thread after thread of posters acusing others of being other people.

I am writing this to hopefully prevent someone else from feeling the pain that I feel or your beloved pet from suffering unnecessarily. My 8-year-old golden retriever became ill this past week. I googled her symptoms and it led me to a condition called pyometra which I had never heard of. She didn't quite fit the criteria for that so I assumed she had a stomach virus. I tried to make her comfortable and take care of her myself but she wasn't getting any better.& ...
