An agenda that's completely out of touch with the American public, hence why they were trounced in the last elections, and hence why they were not elected.

Carry on.

Those i support: Mark Levin - Dr. Carson - Thomas Sowell- Allen West - Trey Gowdy - Ben Stein - Ted Cruz - Ravi Zacharias - Dr. Schweitzer- Herman Cain - Gen. Mattis - Lt. Michael Murphy- Chief Mark Kessler - Rand Paul - Andrew Breitbart.

...if these inspirational people make me "out of touch".

So be it. I am not ashamed to share who i support and realize each of these people have made mistakes and some will continue to make mistakes, during this life.

Trounced was what happened in 2010, the 2012 election was not as strong down ballot for democrats as it normally is when an incumbent president wins reelection.

I do not understand how people in a nation where people go bankrupt because they get cancer, or die of a curable illness because they're poor, can support a private healthcare system where the insurance companies benefit financially by paying out as little as possible. It is INSANE to me that decent human beings would support this. Healthcare SHOULD NOT be a private money making industry that favours the wealthy!!!!! How can people even sleep at night if they support such a system? It blows my mind.

A million times this! And now corporations are making it worse so they can show how 'bad' Obamacare is by pulling the plug on health insurance for their employees. When we got back from vacation, my husbands very large, very profitable, very well-known company announced plans to eliminate spousal health coverage - too expensive. Of course, I find that hard to believe after the tens of millions that were paid out in bonuses and stock options to the 6 heads of the various divisions within the company. Oh, and lets not forget the healthy quarterly dividends that are paid out to shareholders. Republican ploys to destroy a system of health coverage that they fought tooth and nail against.

"Conservative commentator Erick Erickson referred to Texas Sen. Wendy Davis (D) as an “Abortion Barbie” in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, sparking outrage over the sexist implications of linking the female lawmaker with the famous Mattel product.

Davis recently rose to national prominence after filibustering an anti-abortion bill for more than 11 hours. Although Texas ultimately ended up enacting those sweeping abortion clinic restrictions, she has continued to advocate for reproductive rights in the state. Recently asked about Kermit Gosnell — an illegal Philadelphia-area abortion provider whose crimes are typically invoked in fights over additional abortion restrictions — Davis incorrectly said that his unsanitary clinic was already licensed as an ambulatory surgical center.

Erickson mocked Davis for mixing up her facts on Gosnell:

Davis was attempting to make the point that Gosnell’s crimes don’t apply to the new abortion restrictions in Texas, which require clinics to adhere to the same standards as ambulatory surgical facilities — an unnecessary rule that often forces clinics to make expensive updates, like widening their hallways. Abortion care in Texas’ clinics is already incredibly safe. The current regulations don’t allow clinics to commit the types of crimes that Gosnell did in his “house of horrors,” so his case is somewhat of a red herring.

This is hardly the first time that Erickson has incited controversy over a sexist statement. When he was a contributor for CNN last year, he said he liked the idea of excluding women from the Masters golf tournament because “I don’t want to be hanging out at some women’s event!” He also referred to the 2012 Democratic National Convention’s line-up of female speakers as “the Vagina Monologues” — prompting over 100,000 people to sign a petition calling on CNN to fire him. Nevertheless, Erickson went on to work for Fox, where he landed in the headlines again after saying that women should stick to raising children.

And more recently, Erickson has had plenty to say about Texas’ abortion battle. While Davis was engaged in her filibuster and her supporters tweeted under the “stand with Wendy” hashtag, Erickson started a “sit down, Wendy” hashtag in response. And after the legislature successfully passed the anti-abortion proposal — which threatens to close 90 percent of the abortion clinics in the state — he tweeted out a site selling coat hangers, telling liberals they should “bookmark” it."


Also in the news today, Republican leaders bemoan their inability to recruit republican women to run for office. They are about to make that term an oxymoron with this kind of crap!

Fox News appealing to their base about some punky kid on food stamps and you can't pick up on the obvious manipulation? I'm sure soon they'll have a story about one of their many viewers who receives unemployment, food stamps, gets paid cash under the table, and accuses immigrants of stealing from him.

The guy is a goof.

I'm not sure calling this situation the 'Liberal dream' is fair. This amounts to abuse of a program that has good intentions. Does the 'Republican dream' include elders living on the streets foraging in dumpsters, out of work people kicked out of their homes, and troubled veterans left to their own devices?

I'm not sure if there are any programs that serve a strong purpose and do not exhibit characteristics of misuse. White collar abuse is rampant as well and has a much more profound effect on the integrity of society (look at the last Republican presidential candidate and his unethical and unpatriotic business exploits for example). Don't blame policy makers trying to do something positive... blame the people that abuse the programs.

I don't know what is out of touch of making an abled bodied person have to show they are at least trying to find work every three months to qualify for food stamps? Is that really out of touch?

The liberal dream? Really?

Do you ever wonder why conservative news wants you to focus on the guy who is getting $2,400/year in assistance over the white collar criminals who are pocketing millions/year? Or the white collar tax cheats who are bilking the system out of millions/year?
