now? she’s been a waste of space at best for at least 6 years. I keep wondering why in the hades a blue state like california can’t find someone to primary her backside successfully. Between impeachment, health care, bailouts, and social security I’d be hard pressed to find a redeeming quality for the former Speaker.

Why in the world would or should they vote for a DINO? Doing so is exactly how we got to where we are today……complaining there is little difference between the 2 parties.

As a Virginian let me share that I could care less about Allen or Kaine.
I’m happy that we’ve moved beyond tweedledumb and tweedledumber for President but it doesn’t say much that Nelson or Kaine is the best the left has to offer.

http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/trayvon-martins-killing-shatters-safety-within-retreat-at-twin-lakes-in/1221799 Here’s another article Hotflash. It doesn’t paint as nearly a flattering picture. 28 pages of 911 call. I wonder if he was going for a record? I feel confident the story lies somewhere inbetween. One way or another, the guy made a horrible and tragic decision when he chose to ignore the dispatcher and [...]

That article strikes me as very propaganda like. I particularly like how it is only AA teens that conveniently are never caught that were responsible for crime in the area. Why no wonder he automatically assumed Trayvon was up to no good(tongue firmly in cheek.)

They’ve already done that and actually pretty much ruled out Zimmerman.

The Church wants to have its cake and eat it too. And we’re gonna hear Dolan whine until they get their way. Waaaaaaaaaah.

cwaltz commented on the blog post Catholic Institutions Sue Government Over Contraception Mandate
Uh no, it’s the Catholic church that is stepping over the line. They don’t have the right to force their employees to adhere to their belief structure.
Additionally they have the choice to drop coverage in entirety. However, they do not have the right to cherry pick which conditions or which gender they will offer coverage to.
Quite frankly most of their arguments about reproduction and contraception border on ridiculous. I’m supposed to believe that God is okay for medical intervention when He gives someone pnuemonia or cancer (because He totally didn’t realize what He was doing when he gave people these conditions right?)but somehow or another He is morally opposed to intervention when the problem is a reproductive nature? Absurdity! The God I pray to is loving and forgiving. The idea that He is the one opposing an abortion for a raped 12 year old is nutso. It’s a bunch of moralistic prigs that oppose intervention. They’d rather destroy a living breathing human being than accept that God could or would allow a fetus to die(which is yet another absurdity because Christianity posits that there is no death for the soul, when we leave this plain of existence we go to be with our Heavenly Father, so it stands to reason an “innocent fetus” would simply go home to be with Our Father.)

cwaltz commented on the diary post Three More Witnesses Change Stories In Zimmerman Case by Masoninblue.
It makes sense that Trayvon would be fighting back if there were an altercation so all the he said- she said about them rolling around and who was on top really doesn’t change my opinion. I still say that the prosecution should be able to make a case simply by virtue of Zimmerman leaving that [...]

I’m sure plenty of women have left over the church’s moronic views on contraception.

cwaltz commented on the blog post Higher Prices, Not Increased Utilization, Are Driving Health Care Costs
Oddly enough in Japan they have made the argument that increased utility is actuallt something that helps drive prices downward rather than upward. For example, MRIs are said to be less expensive(our costs are tenfold) because they are commonplace.

cwaltz commented on the diary post Why Is Trayvon Martin Dead? by Masoninblue.
Zimmerman actually had a fractured nose and black eyes(as is typical with fracture to nose.) He also had stitches. That does not negate my belief that he should be disqualified from arguing self defense. Because yet again, he disregarded a 911 dispatcher who told him not to follow this kid. He created this situation. He [...]

cwaltz commented on the diary post Why Is Trayvon Martin Dead? by Masoninblue.
It’s entirely possible this was a back and forth where both men were tussling and rolling to try and get the upper hand. The bigger difference being that Zimmerman knew the whole time that he was armed. He left the vehicle to follow this kid armed for a confrontation. That does not make him a [...]

cwaltz commented on the diary post Zimmerman Medical Report Released by Masoninblue.
Actually he was “told not to.” Here’s what the news reports say: George Zimmerman told police he shot Martin in self-defense. Zimmerman called 911 to report a suspicious person. He was told to stay in his car and an officer would be there shortly. But Zimmerman exited his car, fought with Martin and eventually shot him. [...]

Zimmerman ignored instructions from 911 operator not to pursue this kid. He deserves jail time. He created the circumstances that lead to Trayvon and him fighting to begin with.

cwaltz commented on the blog post Brown Proposes Clever Raid of Foreclosure Fraud Settlement Funds
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, lawmakers are overpaid. Let the schmucks make median income for the area they represent and ditch the per diem. If it’s good enough for the rest of us it’s good enough for them.
And frankly capital gains ought to be taxed like the lottery. It isn’t like investors aren’t just a bunch of glorified gamblers anyways.

cwaltz commented on the diary post JPMorgan Motto: Shoot the Women First? by Phoenix Woman.
Actually all the facts point to the opposite, in finance, gender matters ALOT. It’s a boy’s club- with an emphasis on boys. There was tons of discussion when all this was going on if women had been proportionately represented in finance- our gender tends to be more conservative and more risk averse- we might have [...]

cwaltz commented on the blog post California $7 Billion More in the Budget Hole Than Expected
Some people need to learn the hard way I guess and I have to say the “leadership” in California is lacking because they do a poor job laying things out.
I try real hard to remind folks here we pay taxes for schools who in turn educate our future work force and keep us economically competitive. We pay taxes for roads that enable us to have access to goods and services. we pay taxes for police and fire services so that we have a modicum of safety. Taxes, as unpleasant as they may be, have a purpose. I don’t understand (alright I do but I don’t like that the Dems are cowardly)why the Dems keep shying away from the idea of selling taxes as patriotic and instead are leaning towards the idea of “fees” or helping promote cuts. Furthermore, I don’t understand how they can’t possibly sell the idea that companies, like people, ought to be at least partially responsible for paying for training for their future workforce, paying for the safety and security of their work environment and helping cover the costs of the means that enables them to engage in interstate commerce. The idea that states should be giving them money to get out of these obligations and foisting these costs onto average taxpayers is ridiculous.

Why whatever happened to ol’ “deficits don’t matter?” What amuses me is that a conservative would whine about the philosophy when you consider they funded an entire darn war while deferring payment on it.
Oh wait I forgot the DoD/National Security is always excluded because in imaginary land THAT part of the budget doesn’t count even though it’s at least 1/5 of our spending.
