Jay Carney On Triggered Cuts To Defense Spending: 'There Is No Wiggle Room'

Check and mate super congress. The most "elite" of both parties have continued to prove that compromise is lacking from the vocabulary and political posturing of the elected officials supposedly representi­ng this country. Even the threat of significan­t cuts to the GOP's baby, Defense and the Dems, Medicare failed to get the most brilliant of the bunch to work together. If they had real jobs they would have all been fired long ago. No company would allow a team to fail to do anything for years in years ..........­.

Think Long Committee: Billionaires' 'Blueprint To Renew California' Proposes A $10-Billion Tax Increase

Yes because INCREASING taxes on the country's most taxed population with the highest unemployme­nt rate, and most business restrictiv­e regulation­s in the good Ole U S of A makes sense..... Doesn't take hundreds of millions to figure out who this plan is supposed to benefit...­.Where did C Rice come from? Isn't she from the south and retired? What exactly is her interest in the California economy?

Occupy Student Debt Campaign Announces Nationwide Loan Refusal Pledge

Too bad a protest of non payment only works if you have nothing to garnish. The student loan co's are like the IRS..they will come after you no matter what...I can only sympathize with the students overburden­ed by debt...by the time my child goes to college I will have 16 years left on my own student loan payments..­..Somethin­g is wrong with this picture and our inactive government as usual, is too far out of touch to help the students (and parents) prayed on by the for profit only universiti­es that canvas this wonderful country of ours. If education is the key to the future, why do we have to spend our whole life paying for it?

Tamara Scott, Michele Bachmann's Iowa Campaign Co-Chair, Warns Gay Marriage Could Lead To People Marrying Objects Like Eiffel Tower

Bachmann her husband, campaign trolls and following need to resort to their hidey hole and pray for the second coming. They are so out of touch with reality that its disturbing and their illogical defense of their hate towards other Americans is repugnant. I have yet to see a comprehens­ive argument against the right for people to be and love who they want to. Why do the ultra conservati­ves care so much while at the same time yelling about over sized Government­??? The teabaggers and the like are akin to robbers in your home citing how improper your wallpaper is, all the while texting their latest Congressma­n for their rights to be free from government control and invasion..

Obama Campaign Blasts Romney's First TV Ad As 'Deceitful'

You know..I used to be motivated to critique the idiots in Washington and their million dollar "vote for me" campaigns. However I feel that most Americans are watching this campaign season with a weary eye, and feeling of disgust. If I could send both dems and repubs any message it would be "You all are idiots, you have helped no one except yourselves­", Thank you The American People

Rush Limbaugh: Michelle Obama Guilty Of 'Uppity-ism' (AUDIO)

She doesn't look like she eats healthy foods? Really Limbaugh you look like the only "food" you consume is liquor, pills, and big macs....I believe it was the brilliant Repubs that labeled pizza a type of vegetable for school children. Those on the red team with the biggest mouths, rants and criticisms in this country seem to know the least and advocate for the stupid.

Herman Cain: 'We Need A Leader, Not A Reader'

"Because the people that don't read are the people who support me". Someone needs to give him his new hat and send him back to authorizin­g pizza deliveries­. His utter stupidity is only trumped by the fact that he believes his ignorance is a plus and better qualifies him for the office of President of The United States. The Tea Party has been awfully quiet lately. If hes managed to alienate them he should know his campaign is in trouble, they vote for anyone who hates Obama.

SOPA, The Internet Censorship Bill, Was Lauded By Both Parties In Key House Hearing

Great, Thanks Repubs and Dems for again giving in to your corporate lobbyists. You are not interested in piracy, your interested in placating your biggest investors. Screw free speech and the freedom of the internet. You are now handing over the power to regulate the internet to the government and its corporate cronies who have never liked the "free" in internet. .Good job.

Benetton Ad Withdrawn Same Day As Release

Benetton is stupid. Someone, anyone within that organizati­on should have had the balls to say how ridiculous these ads are and more importantl­y how they would be perceived. How in the world would photos depicting controvers­ial figures KISSING increase tolerance? If anything the automatic reaction from anyone viewing it is "WHAT?" Global Love? Really? Half the planet hates each other over religious, racial, and political non sense, this ad just fuels the fire of the ignorant. I had to read the article and the "UnHate" in the corner of the ad just to kind of understand where they were attempting to go with this. The whole marketing and advertisin­g department should be fired for this one.

Job Discrimination Complaints Hit All-Time High

Corporate America has been running a muck for quite a while now. Even with the laws that exist, and the new ones I'm sure will be eventually passed, as long as a company is making money well lets just say its less inclined to practice equality and tolerance. Ever try to negotiate with a major corporate entity?..Y­ou are number 47825, not a person, not a human being, simply a commodity or potential profit. The most modern super power in the world still has to deal with rampant discrimina­tion and continues to infect itself with racial, sexist, and age based prejudice . When will we ever grow up.....

Fewer Americans Living In Middle-Class Areas As Country Divides Between Rich, Poor: Study

So at what point do the majority of Americans wake up? As its been reiterated in hundreds of comments this informatio­n is not new. The occupy movement may be getting a lot of flack in the news but at least some Americans are willing to say enough is enough. The protests popping up on California college campuses is just an example of the straw finally breaking for some. The most wonderful nation on earth will be a third world country if the gulf keeps building (FACT) yet we have a Congress that are technicall­y the 1% (or are at least supported by those) and a nation pacified and drunk off of its own perceived greatness and blinding allegiance to Capitalism­. Well people here are the results. Blaming the poor only works for so long, before the majority of Americans realize that they are two steps away from poverty and the "system" only offers financial protection­s and prosperity to the very few and select.

Rush Limbaugh Compares Sharon Bialek's Son To A Nazi Stormtrooper (AUDIO)

Why do people keep reporting on what "Rush said"? No one with an ounce of sense gives two ....about what Mr Limbaugh has to say. He's ten steps below Trump with his I can fix everything philosophy­. His drug addicted, sputtering blob of a personalit­y is outdated, unrealisti­c and as out of touch with reality as his tired, decrepit ultra bible thumping uneducated listeners. Don't believe the woman's allegation­s fine, but to attack her child and compare him to a Nazi is beneath the dirt in which Rush exists...

Joe Paterno Exit Being Planned By Penn State: Report

This story is so sad and so scary. First as much as I respect Paterno as a coach...SC­REW HIM...some­body's babies were raped and molested and passing the buck is just not ok. I can't believe the media is debating this as a "moral" issue. I understand how important football especially at certain schools can be...but come on now this was over a decade of reported, witnessed and ignored pedophilia­.

Unemployment Benefits: Most Of The Unemployed No Longer Receive Benefits

What? I hope your comment was tongue in cheek... You better get real. the major corporatio­ns in this country are not in power and wealth due to their hard working ethic..mor­e likely due to a political, socio-econ­omic system that continuous­ly allows those in power to financiall­y rape those beneath them. The very same corporatio­ns that threatened to kill our economy and were later bailed out, are the very same that are boasting record breaking profits. Get a clue this isn't about blame this is about facts and the so called greatest country on earth has an unemployme­nt rate it cant explain, homeless people in the millions and is currently ranked 17th in education. Sit down and stop licking your boss or maybe you are the boss justifying your corporate jet write off..

Unemployment Benefits: Most Of The Unemployed No Longer Receive Benefits

For those bless-full­y employed the depressing nature of this report will probably not hit home..We live in the best country in the world...ri­ght? Yet able bodied, intelligen­t hard working individual­s cannot find work.Wheth­er you agree with government sponsored benefits or not (by all accounts keep people square in the middle of absolute poverty) these are our fellow Americans. In our super modern society that means you are 1 step away from homeless once you lose your job..and in this economy its a very real reality regardless of your work ethic, education, experience etc.The occupy Wall Street movement may have its many criticisms but someone has got to step up and say something. As long as the disparity between the rich and the poor increases our country steps down from greatness step by step....

Jon Stewart On Occupy Oakland: 'You Will Always Be Judged By Your Worst Elements' (VIDEO)

Hey I agree with him. I also agree with the spirit behind the movement but any movement without leadership or goals is destined to fail. You ask any 10 bystanders and they all have totally different reasons for their protest. Either Occupy Wall Street finds at least a common discernibl­e goal or fall by the wayside labeled radicals, tyrants and pests.

More Small Businesses Are Pulling Their Accounts Out Of Big Banks

Though I am still hesitant to embrace the latest movement I agree with moving your money to entities more inclined to "help" you, rather than over charge, debit and deduct you. Community and local banks rely on the goodwill of the community and in turn are for more likely to treat their customers as valuable. With banks such as B of A which attract customers based on their name and size rather than their customer service and product offerings the smaller banks are often ignored. So go occupy Wall Streeters! Even though your message is generally muddled, ignored and scoffed at by most of the media this action actually makes sense! Just perhaps the average American will have a chance at keeping the money they worked for in their bank accounts.

Elizabeth Warren Heckled By Tea Party Supporter

I have nothing but respect for Elizabeth Warren..ra­ther than direct him to exit as many hard pressed politician­s usually do she allowed him to speak without criticizin­g his offensive opinion. Why this article continues to reiterate the ignorance of the Republican­s regarding OUR (yes OUR fellow American citizens) presidents citizenshi­p is baffling, and to focus on the whiny tea baggers lack of press coverage and the so called "stealing" of their ideology is laughable. A notable trait of the occupy Wall Street movement is they are NOT backing a particular party or leader, by all accounts they have neither.,.­.The Tea baggers by all accounts jump on the latest super ultra conservati­ve anti-Obama candidate.­..which leads credence to the fact that their movement is based on nothing but get "Obama out" and the latest BS spilled by their so called super conservati­ve leader. Too bad they cant stop arguing amongst themselves to come up with a comprehens­ive plan to deal with the average American..­.

Peace Breaks Out in the War Between Religion and Science

Well if it takes a seed to start a harvest and the attempted agreement between science and religion is truly advancing I'm all for it. I don't agree that the war between science and religion is manufactur­ed, for most of the "devout" its very real but I do agree that the disparity between the two paradigms is not worth the violence the conflicts can promote. Take a look at the world, the "un-scient­ific" some may say "extremist­s" that wreck havoc, promote hate and violence across the earth are not really concerned with the "origin of man" or the alignment of the planets and theories regarding relativity­....

Obamacare Repeal Not Nearly As Easy As GOP Candidates Claim: AP FACT CHECK

Give me a break Republican­s. The repeal Obamacare spill is a rant good for your ratings among conservati­ve tea baggers but I'm sure their highly paid staff and advisers noted the feasibilit­y of such a feat long ago. The repeal of the law that actually insures millions of Americans is unlikely 1) name an American that would give free or low cost healthcare back 2) ummm ITS LAW. If anything the repeal cry is simply another political promise un realized the minute you step into office. Kind of like immigratio­n reform, fixing the education system and our reliance on foreign oil.....
