I beg to differ, he made it so states could regulate laws like that. It would be hard for him to get support if he was just like "hell yeah lets legalize weed". I like Ron Paul in a way because he is truthful but he also has some crazy theories about how to do things and he isn't going to get into office because he is very liberal and very conservative at the same time.

that isn't a fact lol. I would sort of see what you say as flaming but the thing is I think you actually believe what you say. Obama isn't a saint but he has actually been more generous to drug offenders than most presidents.

IDK all your saying about obama seems that almost every preisident has done and if you compare it to bush like i just did bush was way worse. he may not be great but what president was they all have dirty secrets they have to deal with that shit is kinda their job. the point was money needs to be out of politics all together maybe we should ONLY vote for people with no corporate backing who would disagree with that except people who want to control things so fuck um dont vote for um any of um!!

explain how Bush was WAY worse, not just with opinions but with some facts this time. I posted over 400 lies Obama has told so far. Not to mention if you like your current insurance you can keep it period. That lie he told a dozen times. But let me guess, blame Bush for Obamas lies also? I wonder if any Democrats will ever wake up to see they have been mislead by the biggest fake in US presidential history. Even Jimmy Carter is calling out his policies now LOL!
Yeah gnome cuz no Democrats are crazy right? Pelosi said WE must pass this bill to see what's in it first

What we need is for the tea partiers and republicans to die off ... they are, just one funeral at a time. Then we need a real progressive party to represent the Smart People. The democratic party isn't liberal -- you fell for it, huh? -- they are right of the Reagan republicans of the 80's.
Don't ever think that anything you see on "the TV" is news. There is no real news on tv anymore, just "corporate news". If you insist on getting your information from there, then you probably just put a cork in it because you are just a parrot. grawk!! grawk!!

Some other points:
TEA stands for 'Taxed enough already'
1) Please show evidence of 'racism' in the TEA party. That is only what is spouted on the mainstream media.
2) Their agenda has never been to create a theocratic state. That again is what LIBERALS said, even though some are religious. If there are people with strong religious beliefs that is so; however, Libertarians strongly believe in the segregation of church and state.
3) They NEVER wanted to not pay the countries debt. They clearly stated that the debts would be paid.
You guys fall for the classic political trick of the opposing party and media defining the position of the other side. Just because Obama and the Mainstream make a claim that doesn't mean it is true.
Just because some members of a group have strong positions you can't apply that to the whole group. That would be like saying every democrat is a lying cocksucker just because Obama is one.
Firstly, I don't want politicians in the pockets of businessmen, but until we get campaign finance reform, that will never happen. Therefore, I would rather more moderate candidates to be backed the money, instead of the racist, bigoted, "god loving" candidates of the Tea Party.

They want to ban abortion, prevent same-sex marriage, include creationism in science courses, and force people to have religious studies classes.
Besides that, Michelle Bachmann claims she is a prophet, E.W. Jackson claims that God created the tea party, teaparty.org claims "Yes, we are a Christian nation," and Jim Demint thinks that the Tea Party will restore American's faith in God.
But nope, they don't want to enforce their strict "moral" code on anybody.
3) Here are the senators that to default on our nation's debt.
Coburn (R-OK), Cornyn (R-TX), Crapo (R-ID), Cruz (R-TX), Enzi (R-WY), Grassley (R-IA), Heller (R-NV), Johnson (R-WI), Lee (R-UT)Paul (R-KY), Risch (R-ID), Roberts (R-KS), Rubio (R-FL), Scott (R-SC), Sessions (R-AL), Shelby (R-AL), Toomey (R-PA), Vitter (R-LA).
You can see which ones are tea party aligned.
You can find the house vote here: http://politics.nytimes.com/congress/votes/113/house/1/550
And notice that the 144 "no" votes, or a vote to default on our nations debt were not only all republicans, but many of them are also Tea Party aligned, or heralded by the Tea Party as being a quality candidate.
You can try to claim that "Just because some members of a group have strong positions you can't apply that to the whole group." But when that goes from "some," to a large minority, or even a majority, you can start applying those things to a whole group. You've got Tea Party leaders, Tea Party supporters, and Tea Party candidates and they're all doing this shit. You can no longer blame this on "mainstream media." That's the huge fucking joke of a cop-out too.

There was never a threat to default on the debt. Another lie. The government takes in plenty of funds every month needed to service the debt. If you have to borrow money to pay your debts what do you call that? I call it a Ponzi scheme.Quote:

Is the Congressional Black Caucus a racist organization? Yes, it most certainly is and a large minority of Democrats belong to it. So let's call the Dems what they are. Racists.

I don't think so. I think the absurdity of the argument, i.e. that there are no Constitutional Rights immune to a dubious efficacy argument about what politicians "feel", is so far over the top as to constitute a lie. I'm sure he's told a few other whoppers as well but that one came right out to me.

You're completely wrong, of course. No Constitutional right is absolute. The right to bear arms, while individual and fundamental can still be infringed if the government has a compelling interest. That is hornbook law. He was simply arguing that the desire to reduce crime and violence was a compelling interest. You're entitled to disagree as the SCOTUS did. That doesn't make it a lie.
You're never going to find a human being on the planet with which you agree on everything. If disagreement means that person is a liar, then there's really no need for the word since it describes every human except yourself.

I've gone through 100 of these now, taking the better part of an hour and a half. Most of these complaints would be listed under the "etc." portion of "lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc." A few blatant lies. Many that are simply complaints about something the author doesn't like. Most are so trivial that you would scratch your head asking "Who gives a fuck?" Others are a concern, but having so much trash with a few pockets of truth that people can claim "See, it's stating FACTS" is dishonesty at its finest.

No. You disagree with it, but that doesn't make it nonsense. If the government believes that a compelling interest will be served by the law, and the law is narrowly tailored to that interest, it's constitutional. The government doesn't have to always be right...they just have to have a good faith belief that they are right.
Again. You don't have to agree, but that's Con law 101. Ask your daughter.
By the way, the SCOTUS actually didn't disagree that DC had a compelling interest that was served by the handgun ban. They just disagreed that the handgun ban was narrowly tailored to the compelling interest....So they actually agreed with Chemerinsky on that particular point.

Dubious. Saying you want to bring the anti-science portion of the Muslim world into the modern times is not being "politically correct," it is tapping into a portion of the world that used to be the center of scientific advancement before religious zealots took over.

100) Approved giving 20 F-16 fighter jets to a Sharia dictatorship
Although true, this was due to a long standing treaty with Egypt, to help maintain peace between Egypt and Israel. It is misleading that the Pat Robertson founded ACLJ ignores this key fact.
I've gone through 100 of these now, taking the better part of an hour and a half. Most of these complaints would be listed under the "etc." portion of "lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc." A few blatant lies. Many that are simply complaints about something the author doesn't like. Most are so trivial that you would scratch your head asking "Who gives a fuck?" Others are a concern, but having so much trash with a few pockets of truth that people can claim "See, it's stating FACTS" is dishonesty at its finest.
What blatant lie?

"Did he or did he not do it," or "is it true or not" is not the question. I was told that these would be 400+ examples of "lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc." That simply isn't what this list is. It's a big old list of stuff that some dude on the internet doesn't like about the Obama administration.
You claim "I might remind you that for the first two years of his Presidency he had a completelly compliant Congress and he made no effor to close Gitmo"
Obviously, you didn't read the Politifact article. I would call signing an executive order to close Gitmo, some sort of effort. To call the congress "completely compliant" ignores that the "War on Terror" has bipartisan support.
"So bad shit is OK because somebody else did it?"
Explain how this is "bad." Who better to send abroad to first world allied countries and be the mouthpiece for your administration than people who cared enough about getting you elected?
Blatant lies:
Calling KBR Halliburton Union waivers Support for public education Calling things unconstitutional that have never been put through the courts.
