GOP trying to block youtube video they published

[Marcus Bryant]

What if you bend over backwards to defend those who say stupid things because they happen to be a Republican?

[Marcus Bryant]

As for relativity, the man is ing about making an annual salary vastly higher than most Americans as an elected representative of the people. Given your angst about those sucking on the public teat, he would seem to be an excellent target for you.

Have I or have I not said that I agree Obama's actions are legal, even though I disagree with them.

Please take off your blinders.

So you are jealous also?

Bad form...

[LnGrrrR]

Did I say otherwise? If he put himself in a position to lose his house, I wouldn't say he needs our help. As it stands, he was making ends meet, and had a second house he could have sold if he needed too. I think the purpose of his words were to tell people he understood what it was like to have less money than needed.

Why are you so biased against what I say. You shoot strait to the worse possible meaning.

Bad form.

You tend to see things in the most positive light for Republicans, and not for Democrats. Rest assured, if this guy had a D after his name, you'd think it showed how out of touch he was.

No, he doesn't just tend to see things in a positive light for Republicans, he makes a genuine effort to do it.

WC isn't naive. He's a hypocrite of the highest order.

[Marcus Bryant]

"Bad form" is ing about your fat ass congressional salary because it crimps your style.

As for jealousy, better to be accused of that by a nitwit such as yourself than to be an apologist for stupidity.

Sorry you don't understand my point. I thought it was simple enough.

No, he doesn't just tend to see things in a positive light for Republicans, he makes a genuine effort to do it.

Not true. Sorry you can't see past your blinders.

I'm not apologizing for him, he made a mistake. I'm saying that under certain "what if" cir stances, I can understand. I didn't say I approve.

My God...

The three of you are really being lame. Why can't you understand the points I make. Instead, you attack without rebuttal.

Must not have a decent rebuttal I guess.

[ElNono]

This is true, but some people also fail to keep things in check.

I'm only pointing out the human nature aspect of it. Too many people over extend at times. I have, have you never done so? I think his words were in bad taste, but I also didn't see the whole thing in context. Still, I think it's a pretty lame topic. If that's the best there is against the man, then he has my vote, because that's a mistake most people make at one time in their life. Not a big deal.

Consider this "what if."

What if he was making $400+k before he was elected, and was making payments based on that income, and took a cut in pay to be in congress. Not saying it happened, just pointing out we don't have context, and that it is possible.

Why do most people here fail to have an open mind?

But the poor are poor only because they don't look for better opportunities...

Where was this 'human aspect' you empathize with when we were discussing that?

[Wild Cobra]

No, the safety net became a hammock.

Where was this 'human aspect' you empathize with when we were discussing that?

What type of progress for bettering peoples lives does empathy provide?

I believe in giving a hand up. Not unlimited hand-outs.

Any examples of "unlimited hand-outs" you actually have?

[Marcus Bryant]

My God...

The three of you are really being lame. Why can't you understand the points I make.

Oh, I understand your "points" and they are ing stupid. See, that's how you can understand and not end up defending a ing moron such as Duffy.

[Wild Cobra]

Any examples of "unlimited hand-outs" you actually have?

It's all around us. Real life. Are you blind?

Unlimited in time without being accountable to get off the system. The social workers have job security by keeping people in the system. If they actually helped people get off the various welfare systems, they would be putting themselves out of work.

[Marcus Bryant]

It's all around us. Real life. Are you blind?

Are you full of or do you have any actual examples of unlimited welfare benefits at the federal level?

[Wild Cobra]

Oh, I understand your "points" and they are ing stupid. See, that's how you can understand and not end up defending a ing moron such as Duffy.

I wasn't defending him like you may think, Only pointing out possibilities. I have shown I have an open mind. You obviously do not.

[Marcus Bryant]

When I see stupidity I condemn it. You, on the other hand, embrace it.

I belief I agreed he was stupid in the way he said things, but again. We only saw a short clip. Was it in context?

As for you unfounded assumption that I support him because he is a republican... All I see is ignorant bias on your part. I thought you were better than that. It's rare, but I have pointed out possible actions on Obama's part that could equally be seen as "embracing it." At least take your partisan blinders off.

Other arguments WC will soon introduce to this thread:

"Are we sure that's really him, and not a lookalike saying things to make him seem foolish?"

"He might be forced into saying it, perhaps there's a sniper keeping him on message"

"Are we sure this video isn't a complete fabrication, and any and all witness statements aren't the same thing? This could all be made up by lib s!"

[Marcus Bryant]

If he had a problem with the congressional salary he shouldn't have campaigned for the office.

Unless you are related to the moron, you shouldn't give a about him.

Sorry. Not the way I think. Maybe Mouse's opposite...

[Spurminator]

He should become a teacher.

Exactly. Then maybe he could afford to have two separate doors on his garage.
