The Democrat National Convention - Pure HATE/LIES in front of our eyes? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22323395  United States09/04/2012 08:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is ANOTHER FLAT OUT LIE... Republicans “can’t get anywhere with our community on domestic issues” and instead “do everything they can to lie and distort and mischaracterize this president’s stellar record on Israel,” the newspaper quoted Wasserman Schultz as saying. “We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.” "I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel,” Ambassador Michael Oren said in a written statement. “Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle." So where is the lie. Repubs have done nothing but politicize the middle east, claiming Obama is selling out Israel, and making things more difficult. The flip side is that Wasserman Shultz denies saying it, but was misrepresented by a blatantly GOP mouthpiece. [link to www.foxnews.com] |

They race bait you ALL THE TIME. They treat you like you're the dumbest in the world and cannot take care of yourself so they feel the need to come up with tons of rules for you to obey while they control everything in your life. You want tyranny from faux liberals? They did all that on the first day of the convention? Poor you. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 754536 The only thing the Lily Ledbetter Equal Pay Act did was to change the statute of limitations on pay discrimination. The Supreme Court in its infinite wisdom had previously decided that the 180-day period started when the original pay decision was made, even if the employee doesn't find out about it until much later. The Act changed it so that the period starts with the most recent paycheck affected by the decision. Even so, the votes were as follows: Senate: Democrats 55-0 Independents 2-0 Republicans 4-36 House of Representatives: Democrats 247-4 Republicans 3-173 |
