    Hello again:

    Didja hear that our REPUBLICAN head of the Federal Reserve is a traitor?? But, that's not all.. The guy that called him that wanted to secede from the nation... That's pretty traitorous, no?

    ... Biden called the Republicans terrorists .

    Re Perry ;calling Bernanke's policies traitorous is inartful... His policies of devaluation is folly of the highest degree.

    His comments about secession was clearly 'tongue-in-cheek ' .

    That being said ;he has 'plenty of splainin' to do before I give him my support . I remain undecided about the current group of declared Republican candidates .

    BTW... I will be happy if monetary policy becomes a central issue in this campaign. The Fed has had a free pass for too long.

    That's old news. Last I heard is he's cold-hearted and worse than Bush, once briefly invested in a company that profited from porn, had an experimental procedure on his back and horror of horrors, tried to get out of a speeding ticket and once killed a coyote.

    Meanwhile, Maxine Waters is forging ahead in the new era of civility herself in saying what she thinks of those "terrorist" Tea Partiers.

    Maxine Waters is a racist blowhard with a mental defect... and she proved it.

    But since she is a good Democrat she gets a free pass on having mental disease.

    The head of the DNC thinks it was fine, too. It's only uncivil to want to "take out those sons of b*tches" and take back your country if you're on the right.

    Hello again, Steve;

    Seems to me that Republicans have thinner skin than I remember. I'm not sure what a straw man is, but talking about your opponent swearing at you, instead of talking about the problems of the nation, is pretty straw mannish.

    I'm just holding their feet to the fire re: this thread. That's no straw man.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Nahhh... You're playing gotcha... That ain't going to hep. It's getting BORING, though.. Look... Democrats ARE going to swear at Republicans, and deservedly so.. Whoever said they shouldn't, was STUPID. It's going to continue for decades, maybe even century's... Are you going to bring this up every time that happens?? Really?

    Yep, they will. And there will always be hypocrites which is what the thread is about.

    There is enough hypocrisy to go around, and everyone has some. Okay what's the point?

    The point? Waiting for someone to lead by example instead of just running their mouth.

    I hear some wacko shot up an IHOP and killed two and injured six in Carson City, NV before taking his own life. My condolences to the victims of this senseless tragedy.

    I have to ask though, was the perp motivated by Hoffa's remarks?
