In the past few months, liberal commentators have bemoaned that the public option wasn’t included in the h... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/118 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:29:44 I heard all about it on hate radio this morning, on the way to work. Every other station was playing commercials or something crappy, so this was all that was on. I don't know who the host was, he was male but it wasn't a voice I recognized.

He was talking about how Mexico was the only country wh... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/117 Mon, 21 Jun 2010 17:02:39 With all the bad news lately about abusive corporations, I keep having a thought pass through my mind. Ever since the financial sector almost collapsed in 2008, we've heard news reports of powerful executives making bad decisions for their own personal gain. As long as they personally profited, they... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/116 Fri, 14 May 2010 14:32:27 You are shopping yourselves out of a job.

Some facts about Walmart:

[div class="excerpt"]Walmart has received over $1.2 billion in taxpayer subsidies and counting.

Walmart initially creates jobs when it opens new stores, but after an initial boost, studies show a net loss of jobs and an ero... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/115 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:54:04 I realize we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. As a Democrat, I believe all Americans should be treated equally, despite their gender, color of their skin, religious beliefs, or place in society. And my take on the Constitution and Bill of Rights is that our founding fathers felt the same way... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/114 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:53:56 [font color="blue"]You have been reluctant to investigate the crimes of the Bush Administration, despite demands from the American people that you do so. You have either been very neglectful of your responsibilities, or complicit in the crimes committed.

Now we know that George Bush lied to all o... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/113 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 10:51:59 :puke:

Yep, I actually had someone say this to me.

I told them in no uncertain terms that we were all paying for those tax cuts dearly. At the gas pump. In the grocery store. When we go to the doctor, buy prescription drugs, or pay our utility bills.

I also told them the only ones who aren'... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/112 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 11:37:00 It will be labeled the Roman Holiday in America Period. Where laws are broken by government, where big business called all the shots and got so greedy that it would stop at nothing to get what it wanted, and when corruption in government was greater than at any other period in our nation's history.
... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/111 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 08:07:15 You started a war based on lies so your oil company and big corporate cronies could become multi-billionaires.

You're responsible for the deaths of over 3,500 of our brave and innocent troops, and no one knows for sure how many innocent Iraqis, but the number is surely in the hundreds of thousand... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/110 Thu, 12 Jul 2007 07:49:23 That George Bush's word is not to be believed? You actually came this far thinking the man could be trusted?

And you're the Speaker of the House. Amazing you were able to achieve so much, all the while being so oblivious to the world around you.

Why don't you take this new revelation of yours ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/109 Tue, 03 Jul 2007 15:25:38 How do you come to terms in your own minds the hypocrisy of these pro-life, pro-war, pro-death penalty politicians?

Your Bible specifically states that while on Earth, mankind is not to judge others, kill others, or condemn others. Yet this is exactly what is happening.

How can you support peo... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/108 Thu, 17 May 2007 10:50:14 Because he's a child that has never been forced to grow up and be an adult. A child who has been sheltered, protected, and forgiven because of his privileged status of being born into a powerful and corrupt family.

A child who ran from his responsibility to serve his country, despite having every... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/107 Thu, 10 May 2007 22:54:51 Yesterday, George W. Bush turned his back on America and our troops after announcing he had vetoed the emergency funding bill.

How much more will we tolerate, America?

The man has lied to us, spied on us, raided our treasury, allowed our brave troops to fight a war based on lies and without pr... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/106 Wed, 02 May 2007 10:54:11 1. Why was nothing done about the August 2001 memo which advised terrorists were determined to strike America using commercial jets?

YOU are in office because WE voted to put you there. So why then do you have such a great health care benefit and we don't? You expect us to somehow deal with Medicare and what little is still left of Social Security, while you have a program that is second to none.

YOU expect US... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/104 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:43:06 We know that Conservatives will bend over backwards to protect an unborn fetus, regardless of the circumstances. If the mother is only 13, and was raped by her Father or an Uncle, too bad. Have that kid, honey.

If a woman is brutally raped by a gang of hoodlums and gets pregnant from it, too bad.... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/103 Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:01:40 We want your optional war, the Bush-Republican-Iraq war, to END.

It was based on lies.

It has cost a fortune, which has sacrificed the health, security, and well being of American citizens here at home.

It has cost the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people.

Mr. Bush, you need to ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/102 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 10:34:10 I just saw the video clip of Whore O'Donnell warning Democrats to not become known as the "party of investigations."

To that I say, the Dems have a long way to go before they surpass the Ken Starr investigations that went on for years and years and years, and cost millions and millions and tens o... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/101 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:04:05 Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska) keeps mentioning the possibility, although he beats around the bush somewhat. But with Bush/Cheney's falling poll numbers, continued coverage of Bush scandals in the news, and ongoing investigations sure to expose more scandals, the GOP is going to have to find a way to over... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/100 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:18:29 It's not a pretty picture.

He must be on some major meds if they go to these lengths. It's not like anyone would care if he took Prilosec once a day for acid reflux.

Hmmm...would cocaine residue show up in feces? That could explain it.

Yuck. Just yuck.

But then he recalls all the times in the past where George has been weak.

He was a poor manager with Harken Energy, and sold his stock days before poor earnings were announced. So, Daddy's buddies had to bail his ass out to prevent him from going to jail for insider trading.

While this may be true, it's misleading. It's my understanding that the Authorization to Use Military Force wasn't in and of itself the thing that led to the war; it simply gave ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/95 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 10:28:52 What is "Supporting the Troops"?

It's making sure they know why they are fighting and who they are fighting.

It's making sure they have the body armor and support they need to protect and defend themselves and their fellow soldiers.

It's making sure they have a clearly defined mission, base... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/AndyA/94 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:37:23
