That's what they get.
An acquaintance of mine is a 49 year old engineer. A specialist in chemical engineering, with degrees from outstanding universities. His name is Joe and he lives in Bucks County, PA. He was laid off his job. Was out of work for over a year.

Cop out. At least the honest, issue driven liberals admit the truth.

Only the farthest right,mouth breathing goonbobs EVER cared what Coulter,Limbaugh,Hannity,Beck et al had to say about anything....those dumb asses are the ones who made her rich and "relevent"...the rest of humanity knows them for what they are and think for themselves.
^^Have to agree there.

Then again these are the same folks that thought Palin would run for president when the rest of us just laughed behind their backs....along with Palin.

You mean that useless war that JFK and LBJ started?

But I digress....they're a damned disgrace as a group, but I will fight for their right to be stupid.

They should get baths and find jobs.

They are awakening to the fact that obama is a joke.

Some people thought that an Obama presidency would lead to riots in the streets. Looks like they were right. Some believe the next step includes bloodshed.

A bunch of losers only concerned with their own inadequacies.

They are mentally inhibited from pursuing their own desires.
