        Maybe your sons will be able to do that, Babbin, if they also can also sell their souls like you did. Have you ever considered getting an actual productive job, making something, doing something useful? Or is babble your stock in trade, your inventory?

      .

      Really?

      Just Say it!

      No one even expects to hear truth any more. No accountability.

      Say it.

      It is not like this person means what he says. He is paid to say something; and he says something.

      Lie and deny. It's Fox; what do you expect?

      Babbin Claims His Sons Won't "Have Social Security"

      dude, wait...what?

      isn't that the whole point of the G.O.P.?

      if his sons weren't such useless trolls...they would have let the FREEMARKET (TM) decide their fate.

      Another "Big Lie" brought to you with a side of fear-mongering by your pals at "Fox and Friends". "Fox and Friends" believes if you aren't cowering under your bed (only peaking out occasionally to see if Gretchen has crossed her legs) by the time the show is over, then we just aren't working hard enough! There's a black man in the White House! BOO!!!

      Really? I thought that was Paul Ryan's plan? Isn't he a Republican?

      Wait. I thought the position of the GOP was that they have ALWAYS wantd to get rid of Social Security, along with only being able to buy a house if only you can afford it??

      Now, he's saying different?

      What makes me laugh, in a sad kind of way, is look at the crawl in the screen shot in this story.

      "Babbin: Goal is to raise taxes and avoid cuts."

      Of course, this isn't what Obama proposed at all. What he proposed was $4 trillion in spending cuts, somewhat balanced out by $1 trillion in new revenue.

      Dirty liars.

        What I particularly like is the latest GOP meme coming out that the president never produced a plan that these idiots could negotiate with him on. Some GOP Congressman was just giving a little speech about how the president is not acting in good faith. Please. These pieces of sheet haven't acted in good faith with this president once, not once. They want him to write the legislation for them and then they can use it as a bludgeon to further destroy his presidency. Furthermore, they want "a plan" because they don't understand the act of compromise where you put all the ideas on the table and pick what is going to work best. Everything is about the next election with these guys, despite what Johnny said last night. Their only goal ensuring that it is Obama's last election. That is all this whole thing comes down to. End of story.

          Obama has been playing chess, the Teabaggers are playing 52 Card Pickup. It's very difficult to negotiate in good faith with people whose only objective is to make you look foolish.

          And, thing is, we get trolls on here saying the same thing, even though you can point them DIRECTLY to Obama's plan.

          They just don't believe it.

          It would be funny, if it weren't so sad.

          Some of these same folks said the same thing during the 2008 election. Obama doesn't have a plan for this. Obama doesn't have a plan for that. They got that information because he didn't talk about it in detail during his stump speeches (guess what, nobody does, that's what a stump speech is for, generalities).

          Of course, you could point them to the information, but they wouldn't believe it, they wouldn't read it, they wouldn't even look at it. Because if they did, then they would be proven completely wrong.

          I think the same thing is happening with congressional republicans. If they don't acknowledge that Obama actually had a plan, then they can pretend simply, that he had, well, no plan.

      How quickly they forget the previous 8 or 20 years. They are gonna blame 20 years of mistakes on a man who held office for 3 years? The sad thing, there are people who want to believe the story line and thus profess it as the truth. Using the pretext of "Some Say.....".

        I know a few people that absolutely believe it. What is more embarrassing is that a few of them are family members.

      Credit where credit is due. Boehner, McConnell, Cantor and Ryan all voted for the major drivers of the debt. Bloomberg finally tells the truth. Will the rest of the media follow?
