So from the posts I am reading, apparently if you lose a child of 5 or 8 or 10 dies in the hospital, the norm is to take that child home and let family interact with the body? Wow... The reality is Santorum, like the rest of the GOP field (except the Mormon candidates Romney and Huntsman) have far more serious issues to address, like ethics violations. Apparently while Mormons actually walk the walk, the evangelicals just talk the talk.

The GREATEST Middle Class EVER created was the U.S. Middle Class post WWII on the back so f Union jobs and Union pay!! To your point, you are correct that as we have eliminated Union jobs and shifted wealth to the very top, we have no more Middle Class... In 1980 the Top 1% earned 9% of total US income....Today, the Top 1% earns 23% of total US income. Meanwhile the Average white male Middle Class worker has seen their income drop 10% during that same period. And why is it that pointing out that Germany with the highest wages in the world prospering through the Global recession is a "B.S. talking point?" Why do Conservatives see facts as B.S.?

I provided OBJECTIVE facts concerning legislation passed, ALL of which passed in his first two years except the Second extension of the "wealthy tax break." What you are providing is Subjective statements, a veritable staple of the Conservative mindset and media. Please provide specific legislation passed by Obama that you deem as Partisan, and I will gladly address each one individually. Until then I defer to Matt Labash, Senior Writer at the Weekly Standard: "Why have conservative media outlets like The Weekly Standard and FOX News Channel become more popular in recent years?" [Matt Labash: "Because they feed the rage. We bring pain to the liberal media....While these hand-wringing Freedom Forum types talk about objectivity, the conservative media like to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We've created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective ... It's a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It's a great little racket." We don't need "rackets" we need bipartisan solutions like we had with Reagan/O'Neill and Clinton/Gingrich...

Let's see since he's been in office, he has: * Passed Healthcare that ended up being a DIRECT copy of the RNC plan for healthcare reform. * Extended the 2003 Bush Tax cuts for the Top 2% TWICE * Changed his Stimulus from 90% cash 10% Tax incentives, to a near 50 - 50 cash/tax breaks split because of the GOP (BTW, all those tax breaks did is make the last two years the most profitable on Corporate History while virtually NO hiring occurred in the U.S.) * As Donald Rumsfled just said this week, "Obama has extended the Bush Doctrine in the Middle East." In what world does Partisanship include doing the same thing as the previous GOP President? * He earned an F grade from the Top 6 Gun Control groups for signing 2 Executive Orders expanding Conceal and Carry rights on Federal Land. In what world does a "Partisan" Democrat advance gun availability? * He just passed legislation taking Pollution Control BACK to 1997 levels, reversing a Pollution Bill passed by W and the GOP Congress. In what world does a partisan Democrat say "Pollute away????" In WHAT F_CKING WORLD do these FACTS qualify as Rhetoric? In a haters world? Yep... Look, if you hate the guy because he's a Democrat, or he's got a funny name or he's not the same color as you, than that's your deal. But get your facts straight about what is going on in the World. The only people b-tching about Obama more than the far right is the far left!!!!!

Of course not! As for your 25M fewer jobs because of Unions, the Heritage Foundation would be ecstatic to know that their hundreds of millions of dollars spent "bashing the Middle Class to Save the Executive Class" is working!! WAKE UP! Germany has the highest per capita wages in the WORLD, and is highly Unionized and they have prospered through this Global Recession! While we are experiencing little to no GDP growth, Unionized and Regulated Countries like Germany have prospered. Union bashing was started for one reason only, to break Unions to allow for Companies to more easily move jobs overseas, PERIOD! We grew bigger and faster than at any time in our History after WWII, during the peak of Unions and when tax rates on the Upper 1% were over 70% and Corporate tax rates were 46%! Do Unions have issues? Of course, Unions are no different than families, there are always a couple dysfunctional individuals in the family. But your solution is that if there are a couple "bad apples" in the family, than we need to eliminate the entire family.

I notice that it helped your cause to link to the story because so few of your readers actually link out. If they did, they would read this line in the story that sums it ALL up: "Anything that would be of a big enough size to really help the labor market is going to have trouble getting through Congress," says Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "And anything that can get through Congress will be too small to be much help." With 25M fewer Manufacturing jobs in the US than we had in 1980, our Recovery supporting jobs and industry are humming along in China. For every job opening that exists today there are over 4 people looking for jobs. That's a LOT of jobs to create out of thin air. As long as the Right continues to support the policy of "let America fail so our Party benefits" it's not the President's fault, it's the idiots putting partisanship before Country.

I love the fabricated reality that the Con mind loves to conjure up! Nancy, while a fine woman, was the only First Lady I knew of that had an astrologer on the payroll. And as a former Union President and champion for illegal aliens, Ronald Reagan showed many facets that seem to get white washed over by people grasping for the "good old days." Get real. Taxes were higher under Reagan than they are today, Reagan passed legislation to close corporate tax loop holes in 1987, Reagan raised additional taxes, as well as backed gun control legislation as well as passing "Illegal alien passage to citizenship" legislation. Quit being partisan and figure out that right now we need ACTION not rhetoric. And action is as simple as adopting the same taxation and fiscal policies practiced by the only President in our lifetime to reduce the debt while also growing the economy, Clinton.

Our Revenue was at a level that not only handled our Spending, but provided an environment where we had the longest peacetime economic expansion in our History, income growth across ALL economic strata and in a fact that totally blows holes in the "protect the Top 1%" foundation of the GOP, more Billionaires were created in the 90's than any other Decade! As for your contention that this was the GOP Congress, why is it that SAME EXACT GOP MAJORITY Congress was in place for the first 6 years of W's term, and that same Congress went on a spending, debt raising spree??? The fact that you are so dim-witted that you use terms like Marxist, is a good indication that having a reasoned conversation with you is pointless. So go back to your mindless ignorance and leave the solving of real world problems to those of us centered in the real world. In the meantime, instead of pulling your pud to Breitbart, here's a simple exercise for you. Reagan tripled the US debt. W doubled the US debt and in 4 years, Bush Sr. added more to the US debt in 4 years than Clinton did in 8 years. Please provide for me the list of Democratic Presidents that have either tripled or doubled the US debt. Good Luck with that futile effort! Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:38:22 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181895093 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181610384 NO need to "look for a group to blame," there are too many groups, but as a whole they fall into the same camp. In 2000 the CBO painted a picture of fiscal health based on the Clinton tax and spend policies. GOP Congressional members were falling all over themselves to issue "atta boy" press releases and statements about the $5T Budget surplus projection for 2000 - 2010 in the CBO report!! In just 6 years under GOP control of the White House, House and Senate, that fiscal soundness was sold off with two unfunded tax cuts, 2 unfunded Wars and a trillion dollar unfunded Medicare Prescription Drug bill. Clinton went away, and the GOP went play, play, play. That is the reality. As of today, 45% of the US debt is a direct result of those policy decisions from 2001 - 2006...Only $2.6T of the $14T is attributable to Obama to date, but to listen to the Tea Bag set, the $11T in US Debt that existed the day Obama took office, just magically appeared! 24 times under Reagan and W, the debt ceiling was increased. The GOP Leaders that did the same old tired GOP "Show" in saying they opposed the increase (Cantor, Boehner, McConnell) voted 5 times to increase the debt ceiling under W!! Jesus, W was the one that had to get an additional digit added to the debt clock to handle $10T! Reagan TRIPLED the US debt. W DOUBLED the US debt. Obama is trying his d-mndest to emulate the fiscal responsibility of Clinton and all he has received is xenophobic, ignorance fueled opposition at every front. We are past the time for Partisanship. If the Middle Class had seen their income nearly triple since 1980, while the Top 1% stagnated, than I'd be all over the Middle Class stepping up. That is not the case though...Trickle down has resulted in the Top 1% seeing their share of total income nearly triple since 1980, while the Middle Class has stagnated. Actually, the average white high school educated male in the Middle Class has seen their income go down 10% since 1980. So time to close loop holes, time to go back to the same taxation policies we had under Clinton and time to put America before party. Tue, 9 Aug 2011 17:18:41 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181610384 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181568703 You need to get your timeline right and facts straight. First and foremost, the GOP entered into the negotiations with an emphatic "we will not increase revenue." The Democrats did not sit down at the table and say "Fine, you won't raise revenues, we won't cut spending." The Bipartisan commission plan forwarded by Obama included "closing of tax loop holes." Again, no different than the 1986 tax loop hole bill pushed by Reagan! Reid came up with a last ditch, last minute plan after the GOP refused to consider any plan that included revenue increases or closing of tax loopholes. In a time and place like today, EVERYONE has to come off their sacred cows. But as usual, the immaturity of the Right's Dogma, and their fear of the freak fringe, prohibits them from participating. As for CCB, I understand that the SAME House and Senate that was held in check by Clinton and produced Balanced Budgets, went ape sh-t once W took office, but that does not mean everyone needs legislative help to be as successful as Clinton! Besides, get real! W spent almost $800B in Iraq and not a dime was ON BUDGET! So yaaaay, we have a balanced budget, let's fund whatever we want off budget!! When Obama took office, he moved the war funding back to the Budget. But that doesn't mean the next free spending Republican that comes along won't play parlor tricks with funding.

Seriously, what bizarro retard planet are you living on? In 1980 the Top 1% earned 9% of total US income. Today, the Top 1% earns 22% of Total U.S. income. In what "Marxist" world does the wealth of top 1% nearly triple, while the Middle Class saw wealth and income stagnation? Today the Top 400 families in the US own more wealth than the bottom 150,000,000 Americans. How the f-ck does that describe Marxism???? You people seriously need to put down the antabuse and embrace reality. Tue, 9 Aug 2011 15:08:36 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181563304 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181561038 The last two Presidents to NOT ADD TO the debt are Clinton and Carter! The ONLY balanced Budgets we've had since before Reagan were under Clinton! Of the $14T in debt, $2.4T is attributed to Obama, $1.4T to Clinton....Nearly $10T of the debt is from W ($6.4T), Reagan ($2T) and Bush Sr. ($1.5T) As for your idiotic Subjectivity, to quote David Frum, former Economic Speech Writer for W "Corporations are setting record profits and paying the lowest effective tax rate in 50 years, the Top 1% has more total wealth and income than at any time in our History...If this is Socialism, I'd hate to see Capitalism!" You can sit there and spew your anti whatever rhetoric, but it's a F of a lot smarter to look at reality. When Clinton left office, we had 3 straight balanced budgets and the CBO projected a $5T Budget SURPLUS for the years 2000 - 2010...Then W and his GOP Congress (the GOP held the House, Senate and the White House for the first 6 years W was in office) wen on an unfunded spending spree while cutting taxes, which is why his own Treasury Secretary opposed the 2003 tax cut for the wealthy...His opposition got him fired...W not listening to him, got us DEEPER in debt. Tue, 9 Aug 2011 15:02:08 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181561038 http://biggovernment.com/fsalvato/2011/08/09/the-stunning-demonization-of-fiscal-responsibility/#IDComment181556847 Frank, to quote Governor Christie of New Jersey in reference to the Tea Party "I am tired of dealing with these crazy people." And he's a "darling" of the Tea Party! There is NO OTHER group to blame for the idiocy we just went through on the debt ceiling than the Tea Bag patrol! Their favorite candidates actually said they would work to BLOCK a debt limit increase!! Imagine the impact to our credit rating and the markets if we'd followed that idiotic path!!! In the end, the bipartisan committee and President Obama put forward a $4T plant that included cuts to SS and increasing of the qualifying age for medicare from 65 to 67. But the Grover Norquist funded Tea Bag coalition refused to allow tax loophole cuts, supported by Senator Tom Coburn a tried and true Con and which mirrored the same tax loop hole bill demanded by Reagan in 1986!! The only way we can get back to the fiscally responsible ways we had under Clinton and even Carter is to get these fringe groups out of the mix! Until then, Reagan tripled the U.S. debt and is a Conservative King. So stop with the double standards, put Country before party and let's get focused on a reasoned approach to digging out of the huge hole left by the recession of 2007 that continues to linger.

We got exactly what the Heritage Foundation and the US Chamber of Commerce have laid out as the road map for selective prosperity. Never thought I as an American would see the day that we'd be beholding to China...Thanks to GOP policies, policies also embraced by Mr. Clinton. I am only hopeful for my kids future if they learn Mandarin Chinese....

Truth be told, Hannity has to push his misguided Dogma, so he has no desire to actually here an opposing view... At some point, Americans have to demand more that the Subjectivity of Con media. The problems we have today started in full swing after the highly successful years of bipartisanship under Clinton and Gingrich. The same GOP Congress under Clinton that balanced the budget and started paying down the debt in 1999, got W in office and started spending like they were at a GOP outing to a strip club! 2 unfunded tax cuts, the 2003 cut "for the wealthy" was opposed by his own Treasury Secretary and Economic Advisory Council. And in typical Con form, he fired his Treasury Secretary because you DO NOT go against the Dogma, Do the research....From Kennedy through W, the historical numbers show that GOP Presidents increased the National debt (Reagan tripled it) while Democrats either reduced the debt or added marginally to the debt. The real craziness is the HUGE movement of Middle Class income to the very top! Since 1980, we have pursued a Trickle down economic policy. In 1980, the Top 1% earned 9% of total U.S. income....Today the Top 1% earns 22% of Total U.S. income. Meanwhile, the average High School educated Middle Class worker has seen their income decrease 10% over that same period. Yet I guarantee that a large number of the "ranters" here fit into that group that has been marginalized by the GOP, yet they blindly support the GOP??????? I understand the Heritage Foundation introduced the concept of Wedge issues to keep the base in line (Abortion, Gays, Guns) but at some point people have got to realize what has happened over the last 30 years thanks to trickle down, deregulation and deunionization and stop focusing on Social issues that have no impact on our ability to be a productive and effective Society. We all need to use our brains and get off the ISM driven craziness...Hard to believe all this partisanship extolled by previously marginal people like Breitbart and Rush began with the "Liberal Media" meme devised as an attempt to protect President Nixon...It's no coincidence that one of the men working for Nixon at the time was Roger Ailes, President of Faux News. At this point in time, we need the fiscal Conservativeness shown by Carter, a closing of tax loopholes similar to Reagan's 1986 legislation to stop loopholes and the bipartisanship and cooperation of Clinton/Gingrich... What we don't need is Subjective ranting and misguided rhetoric. Fri, 29 Jul 2011 14:14:20 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/dem-pundit-comes-unhinged-on-hannity-shoves-hugh-hewitt-on-air/#IDComment178340462 http://biggovernment.com/sporter/2011/07/25/will-the-left-blame-conservatives-and-the-tea-party-for-the-norway-tragedy/#IDComment177284607 You do understand that to Recover from the Recession that hit after Reagan took office, he tripled the US debt? Only an idiot believes that you stop spending to recover from a Recession!! The Stimulus included $420B in tax breaks and $340B in spending and ABSOLUTELY prevented an even greater collapse in the economy. Today, US corporations are on their 2nd year of record profits and sitting on $1.8T in cash, also a record, yet no hiring in the U.S. The tea party was born because of a lot of things, but today, virtually every tea party group has morphed into just another evangelical group pushing social agendas. If you want to join a group that is focused PURELY on bringing back the fiscal responsibility we had under Clinton/Gingrich, than join the Coffee Party. It was Stalin that preached "the first step towards control of the people is marginalization of the media." Apparently the power brokers on the Right understood that "sky is falling" marginalization he referenced. Single position media from the left or the right is dangerous and provides no value to us as a Society. It's ironic that the whole "Liberal" media started as a defense for Nixon!! What the Heritage Foundation figured out is it actually worked! For their partisans, it was like air to hear that it wasn't Nixon, it was the media. Yes, Conservatives do rule the unregulated media or what the Weekly Standard called the Subjective Media....But that's because Conservatives love to rant about what they 'hate' about this Country...The love to fabricate this "back in the day" vision of when America was truly great... Well it was actually! The fabrication is that these people forget that great America was built by Unions and top end income tax rates above 70% and a Corporate tax rate of 46%!!! Ironic that Germany, with the highest wages in the World, not only survived the Global Recession, they continued to push their GDP above 3% each year...How can that be? A highly regulated, highly unionized Country prospered? Man you'd think those Socialists in Canada with their work and regulatory environments would have done as well too...Oh wait, they did. But hey, stick to talking points and dogma and ignore that the world is a place full of gray areas.

Yes, you have to be the right religion, have the right name etc. to participate in private enterprise. Affirmative Action? You mean the policy that Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice attribute to their early success in their Biographies? Multiculturalism? In what context? So no more celebrating St. Patrick's Day? Do we blow up Chinatown in San Fran and bulldoze Greek Town in Detroit? Or are you on the same plane as the Norwegian terrorist who ranted against multiculturalism? So you oppose extending equitable status to distinct ethnic and religious groups without promoting any specific ethnic, religious, and/or cultural community values as central? Not sure that's what the Founding Fathers intended. If any of those Muslims are here in America extolling those values, than we need to arrest them. We can't dictate how others act in their own Countries. All we can do is lead by example....

Are you saying the Tea Party is one race or one religion being targeted by propaganda? Or is this more like the typical "Unions are overpaid minorities" propaganda? Or is it more like the "Liberal mainstream media" propaganda? Or is this more like the "Liberal elite College professors" propaganda? Shall I go on about all of the ranting rhetorical "propaganda" that goes on daily from the Right? The Tea Party marginalized itself because it became the Right fringe of the GOP. BTW, in 2005 Moveon.org tried repeatedly to run commercials calling out the skyrocketing debt and the continued deficit spending after Clinton had balanced the budget... The Right railed on them mercilessly!!! But once the black guy with the funny name took office, suddenly Reagan tripling the US debt and W doubling the US debt became non-existent and the $11T in debt that Obama assumed when he took office was ALL his! So that is either blind partisanship or people conflicted by some ISM...Either way, it's denial. BTW, what President had the most members of his Administration convicted of crimes? You'd think it was Nixon, but nope...Ronald Reagan had over 20 members of his administration arrested, yet he is the epitome of Conservative values....Yet how often do we hear about the record convictions? I mean if it's a liberal media, than that should be a commonly known fact.... Also, since Charles Krauthammer, George Will, Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney heck even Sarah Palin write and contribute to the "Liberal Media" when did they become Liberals?

Today, there is a LOT of anti-multiculturalism rhetoric from the Right, including the killer in Norway. If there is anything we do not need to repeat, it's the opposition to multiculturalism that was the cornerstone of the Nazi movement.
