Speaking of which:

Quote:
BEIJING — The legislature of the world’s last major communist country is almost certainly the wealthiest in the world, according to a popular rich list that names 83 dollar billionaires among the delegates to China’s parliament this year. Meanwhile, in the United States, there is not a single billionaire in the House of Representatives or the Senate.
Chinese National People’s Congress has 83 billionaires, report says - The Washington Post

The equalities of a communist state. Oh so blissful, fair and equal.

You know romoney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and you also know paul ryan used his daddy's social security to live off of, two takers. But you're not biased at all.

Seriously, you libs are sometimes just way over the top.
Pot, meet kettle! (Why do I always think of this phrase when I read your posts?) Obama can literally do NOTHING to please the right, and you're all contradicting yourselves from one breath to the next. I swear, if the man farted you'd blame him for global warming - and then in the next sentence say he's not farting enough, and thus his intestinal blockage is clouding his ability to lead.

As I've pointed out oh-so-many-times, out of one side of their scabby mouths, they claim he can't do a thing and is utterly incompetent, out of the other they claim he is making good on some dastardly plan to rob them of their rights and make America into a Stalinist regime.

They're bright people. The unfortunate thing is that the panhandle of Idaho can't house them all when we build our Right-Wing Internment Camps there.

There isn't much that you can name that I haven't done either to earn money or in a volunteer capacity - and there is much that I have done that I did not list in the above paragraph.

That said - Mitt Romney most certainly is working - and your hatred of him based on his political beliefs, or your disdain for the people who drive our economy - risktakers, entrepeneurs, investors, ect... does not invalidate that fact.

What have you done?
Why doesn't he have sweet Ann get a job? She's spent a lifetime not having one. Wouldn't that be the equitable way of solving this?

You can speculate all you want, but I never said any such thing... I was merely contesting your statement that it ONLY stands for "happy," and anything else you read into that is your imagination at work. And again, you did not cite a source in your first post (in that conversation). So how would I know if it was first or last?
