    You're preaching to me about making distinctions and can't distinguish between stating a goal and starting a rumor??

    Hello again, Steve:

    Let me see... In order to pursue his goal, one guy BLOCKS everything Obama tries, and doesn't CARE that doing so RUINED the country's credit rating, and cost the taxpayers MILLIONS.. You think THAT guy is wonderful..

    The OTHER guy gave an interview to a newspaper. He didn't harm the country at all. Good for Harry Reid.

    Dingy Harry doubled down... Romney is guilty until proven innocent.

    Quote:

    “I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination,” Reid said in a telephone call with Nevada reporters. “I have had a number of people tell me that.”

    Asked to elaborate on his sources, Reid declined. “No, that’s the best you’re going to get from me.”

    I don’t think the burden should be on me,” Reid said. “The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn’t he release his tax returns?”
    Welcome to the new progressive America, where a businessman can't build it himself without government benevolence, can't believe in marriage without threat of government force, can't refuse to violate his conscience by buying abortifacients and contraceptives for his employees, and Senators can accuse you of federal crimes based on a rumor and put the burden of proof on you.

    I still think its worth seeing if "paying what he legally was supposed to" means he paid nothing at all on his millions, see as how he is in the business of tax shelters and shellcompanies to hide investments for himself and other.

    Its especially crucial since he is pushing for an even BIGGER tax cut for himself and other elite rich guys, while I have to pay for it. Me my kids,and grand kids.

    Yes he is, but his point is well taken... a rich guy for president that has paid no taxes and is giving himself a bigger one? Come on Speech, even you have to question that one. You trust his word, but I would like some VERIFICATION of the facts.

    How is that wrong? And what part of his tax plan sounds good to YOU? Or is it more liberal mischief?

    No sir, I did NOT fall for the birther crap and I sm not going to humor the Democratic Senate Majority Leader over an anonymous rumor. This is one one of those things we should both be able to agree on so the burden is on you to either take a stand on what's right or well, be a hypocrite.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Let's review... We're talking about McConnell here, who wants to win an election SO badly, that he single handedly RUINED our credit rating, and cost our taxpayers MILLIONS of $$$'s.

    And, on the other hand we have a Senate Majority leader who wants to win an election SO badly, that he's willing to tell a lie..

    Here's my stand on what's RIGHT... Leader Reid is. It ain't even close.

    You lost me! What do you want from me? I have always wanted more facts from Mr.Romney. More verification before Harry Reid came out with his allegation. I have said so many times in this and other threads. Should I back down from that now?

    So both of you are now huge fans of conspiracy theories started by rumors. Obama is a Socialist Muslim from Kenya who sucked at Harvard. His birth certificate is a fake. And Harry Reid has been in a relationship with Barney Frank for years.

    I'm the one that alleged this so the burden of proof is on them.

    So, you get pissed that Reid is spreading rumors, but you were FINE with the LIE that is STILL circulating about "you didn't build that"..

    Why don't you slam that? It's an OUT and OUT lie. When are YOU going to do the right thing?

    IF Reid is lying, all Romney has to do is show us the returns, and then Reid will BE the fool he LOOKS like. Wonder WHY he doesn't do that...

    Under Obama, a Record Decline in Government Jobs - NYTimes.com

    PolitiFact | Paul Krugman says government jobs have fallen by half million since January 2009

    Obama has been shrinking government since he got here, you would think the Tea Party would be happy about that. It should be noted that previous republican presidents lowered the uneployment rate by making more government jobs.

    Government Cutbacks Separate This Expansion From Others - Real Time Economics - WSJ

    And reined in regulations

    Obama Wrote 5% Fewer Rules Than Bush While Costing Business - Bloomberg

    Everything the Tea Party and the Republicans say they wanted. Yet all we get is gloom, doom, and more hollering,and a bunch of BS about liberals.

    And they get offended when we call them loony! If they weren't distracted by what comes from a guys butt, or a females vagina, you think we could be doing better?

    Of course we could.

    Um, you sure you want to use this as a measure of accomplishment?

    From your source:

    Quote:

    That record, which will seem a dubious distinction to public-sector employees, is largely a result not of federal policy but of shrinking state governments.

    ...

    But if teacher employment is the measure, the cuts have been greater under Mr. Obama. Education jobs at the local level are down 3 percent under Mr. Obama, compared to 2.1 percent in the early Reagan years.

    ...

    Federal employment fell 1.3 percent in 2011, but for the three years it is up 1.3 percent, while the total fell by the same amount in Mr. Reagan’s first three years.

    Smaller state governments, fewer teachers and more federal workers. Yep, that's a record Obama should be running on.

    Steve, what ever you have here it is not good. You are making out that Addams supports the loss of personal achievement and that the individual should be content to realize his activity within the many.

    If you provided the whole quote and not just a small part of it you would realized that Addams is not actually arguing for this position.

    Here is the full quote:

    When the entire moral energy of the individual goes into the cultivation of personal integrity, we all know how unlovely the result may become, the character is upright, of course, but too coated over with the result of its own endeavor to. In this effort toward higher morality in our social relations, we must demand that the individual shall be willing to lose the sense of personal achievement, and shall be content to realize his activity in connection with the activity of the many.

    It was the role of women partaking in charity work during this time, to develop the moral character of the poor. What Addams is saying is that this effort is resulting in an opposite outcome. Rather than developing individualism it is actually developing the wrong type of individualism. [edit]
