I agree with the RNC Chair. He also called Harry Reid a dirty liar. I agree with that too!
Yeah. The only people who should be on the public dole are rich bankers! How dare poor little kids imagine they're entitled to eat while a job creator like Mitt Romney struggles to pay taxes on his twelve million dollar beach home!

It seems Priebus has a problem with reality.

Are Republicans really planning to go all the way to November running against a fictional character?

That story Priebus describes is exactly what we'd like to see - work hard and someday you can have that big house too. What he and his party are trying to do is exactly the opposite, where those at the top do better and better while the working stiffs do worse and worse. Just look at what has happened to incomes since we started the "trickle down" insanity. Since apparently the concentration of wealth at the top wasn't happening quickly enough, the GOP is now trying to gut organized labor so they can push people down even more.

Yes, President Barack Obama the very definition of the American dream has a problem with the American dream. Yes, that is a sound and logical critic of the current President.

Your post if factually challenged. NO ONE should be on the public dole unless they are incapable of taking care of themselves. Mitt Romney is the only major candidate for president that believes this.

you need to saddle up next to a fact and see what it looks like.

Exactly. There's a obvious demonstration of how bad the education system in this country has become when we read some of the idiotic remarks in this discussion. Some folks skipped, or flunked, their Civics class and have a total lack of understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the branches of government.

Guessing you are in support of shanty towns and children starving to death in the streets like a 3rd world country. Sounds like a great American plan....up until the poor that vote Republican realize they are effecting themselves.

I am saying there is no growth in our economy. Who is is the recognized leader - might want to google that term to see if it matches up with Mr Obama's style and effectiveness - of the United Statess and free world?

Leaders get things done; no matter what happens, no matter what does not happen. Job 1 = a growing economy, which will create real, full time, on-going jobs. No growth, no improvement.

So Americans did NOT get forced to bail out rich bankers who made bad lending decisions?



Are all Republicans that in denial of recent history or just a few of you?

When being "poor" started getting rewarded. When it became easier to stay at a low wage, because to go over that magic number meant you had to give up some of your entitlements. When you got support from the government for having multitudes of children. When you got a check for some "disability" that the government decided just wasn't your fault.

What a bunch of hogwash. Rich bankers were put on the dole by politicians, Obama included, who wanted to reward their friends. Kids in this country eat - we spend billions ensuring that happens. If they don't, it's because their parents choose to use money meant for them on drugs or the like. And please, show me any proof that Romney "struggled" to pay taxes.
