Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.
The best thing about two mommies or two daddies being married is that they aren't procreating.
There are many reasons why there are twice as many conservatives as there are liberals in this country. This is one of them. The other one is that liberals have no problem getting the fetus sucked out of them before it's born.
These two 'choices' will keep liberals in the minority forever. Which is really a good thing for the country, because we all know the problem with socialists...eventually you run out of other people's money. We can't afford the socialists to be in charge.
...and nice job on the gay Obama drawing. that's almost as gay as the new Newsweek cover. Larry Sinclair, Obama's only known male lover, would be happy with that rendering.
God, money, and hating President Obama. Is that tattooed on your back, right under the FOX News logo? This "bad experiment" was nothing short of saving our country from the financial ruin President Bush brought upon us. You cry about your precious tax dollars, and want to kill programs that benefit millions of people (probably you included) but blame him for everything,
The cost of President Bush's wars has exceeded $1.3 TRILLION of tax dollars. Thats not billion, that's TRILLION dollars. Every social program you right-wingers hate on is a rounding error in comparison. No war=a much less painful recession. Banks loose billions of dollars (insured by the FDIC=YOU) and you blame President Obama?
Sound more like fear of a black man than any logical political ideology. Good luck with another CEO president if god forbid Romney get's elected. Welcome to Roman City-States circa year 500 when there was a ruling class, and pesants. Which are you Steve?
I'm sure you're a great doctor, but you aren't much of a mathematician. Way, way, way, way more is spent on the programs you mention than on the wars (that were voted on in Congress, and have continued under your sainted leader). 2010 expenditures in the U.S. budget.
Defense (including overseas operations) $663.7B
Social Security/Unempl./Medicare/Medicaid $2T..........and that doesn't include HHS, HUD, Dept. of Educ.
You can look it up and have the sense to not resort to the racism argument. C'mon.
@Mike S, so now the GOP also wants to get rid of Social Security, medicare, and medicaid? That might come as a surprise the tens of millions of retirees (many of them republicans) who rely on those services. I understand all you bootstrappers believe we don't need unemployment, but come on.
The wars that President Bush started have cost $1.3+ TRILLION. You think that could have helped pay for some domestic programs?
President Obama has effectively ended the war in Iraq, and created an exit strategy for Afghanistan. He saved the auto industry, he's kept this country from falling into the abyss financially, and now he's championing civil rights. And all you conservatives want to do is attack.
People like you say things like "The Chosen One" or "Your Sainted Leader" face it that's all derogatory crap. You mock, you mock, and you mock. It must be in the macho GOP DNA, because it's not how educated people criticize. It's how FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, and the like criticize. Ad hominem attacks from those groups always get the unwashed masses in a lather.
You people are as authentic to the conservative movement as Olive Garden is to Italian Food. The extreme right PR machine has you so brainwashed that through your eyes (and the eyes of today's conservatives,) Reagan and Nixon would be pilloried at liberals.
I see through your entire raging post you do nothing to dispute the numbers I presented and your ability to avoid ad hominems is truly breathtaking. You engage in usual liberal projection. I never watch Fox News or listen to Limbaugh, not that i think it's a big deal if people do. Only liberals seem so affected by them. As a doctor, perhaps you could look into that. I presented numbers and you can't refute them. Instead you put words in conservatives mouth "...GOP wants to get rid of...." Where does anybody including myself say that? I just gave you the numbers and you fall back on emotions of "attack," "bootstrap," "Olive Garden." Very clever. Yes over almost a decade $1.3T on Middle East wars or actions or whatever. The social programs are over $2T per year sport. The wars (voted on in Congress, Dr.), which thankfully seem to be winding down (right on that dastardly Bush's timeline) are the rounding error, mathematically, though certainly not in human cost. I think you need to look in the mirror vis a vis brainwashing.
Thanks for commenting everyone... and please continue the conversation. To quote another cartoon's theme song [The Flintstones]: "...we'll have a gay old time!"

Obama would do or say anything for a vote. I bet most of the gays won't even vote for him. The bad experiment ends in November 2012
