Of course, Conservatives are dumber and have lower IQ's than liberals. It doesn't take an extensive scientific study to prove this point. It's simple common sense.
How can anyone with half a brain tolerate the kind of balderdash that spews from the mouths of "Conservative" commentators and spokespersons every day ad nauseum. For example:
From Media Matters For America -- February 26, 2010:
"Conservatives Mock The Uninsured:
For the Conservative perspective on the country's health care problems, look no further than Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. Since the beginning of time, politicians have used personal anecdotes to accentuate policy points, and the bipartisan health care summit was no different. But conservatives went out of their way to respond to the summit by mocking the uninsured -- specifically, remarks from Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), who told the story of a woman without health insurance who "had no denture. She wore her dead sister's teeth."
Multi-millionaire Limbaugh, who has claimed "there is no health care crisis," responded to Slaughter by asking, "Isn't that why they make applesauce?"
LIMBAUGH: You know I'm getting so many people -- this Louise Slaughter comment on the dentures? I'm getting so many people -- this is big. I mean, that gets a one-time mention for a laugh, but there are people out there that think this is huge because it's so stupid. I mean, for example, well, what's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling? Save the planet? And so what? So if you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for? Isn't that why they make applesauce?
Multi-millionaire Glenn Beck similarly stated, "I've read the Constitution ... I didn't see that you had a right to teeth." One of Beck's co-hosts responded to the anecdote by talking in a baby's voice: "I have no health care, Mr. Pwesident, and I have no feet and no tonsils because doctors took 'em out."
Conservative attitudes to the health care crisis perhaps can perhaps best be summed up in Limbaugh's advice to a caller who couldn't afford the $6,000 cost to treat his broken wrist: "Well, you shouldn't have broken your wrist."
Media Matters' John Santore wrote: "Politics aside, the real question is this: Why do ordinary Americans continue to listen to Conservatives who don't even pretend to care about the senseless indignities and horrors experienced by countless citizens of this country?"
The answer to Mr. Santore's question is simple: "Because so many ordinary Americans are too damn dumb."

The difference between liberals and conservatives is that conservative TV hosts talk shit while liberal politicians are the ones running their mounths and bashing their own people they are suppose to be representing. I guess you keep forgetting about that?

Whats the major difference between trickle down vs. stimulus? Why do you favor stimulus while condeming trickle down?
BB, you toad, trickle down helps a select few ie; the many are allowed to build yachts for the few, where stimulus helps the many through jobs, which in turn creates demand and more jobs.
BB, where is w's trickle down? The middle class lost ground during w's rein. Do you cons just spout nonsense and expect no one to ever call you on it?
At least with stimulus, we have nice shiny new roads and bridges to show for it.
"At least with stimulus, we have nice shiny new roads and bridges to show for it."
Where?
"At least with stimulus, we have nice shiny new roads and bridges to show for it."
Eastern Washington. We could barely move as so much construction was going on.
Seems to me you cons would jump the con ship and join the liberals. After all, a 30 point jump in IQ, sounds like a bargain, just for changing parties.
The stimulus was a miserable failure. Nothing long term in the way of jobs, and we still have major job losses. You guys in Washington state got a new road/bridge.
You are in the minority if you believe that the stimulus worked.
you are going to stick by the 30 point difference thing? You KNOW that you are not being honest.
Show me the link to the article that said that there is a 30 point difference...
"30 point difference"
Future studies.
BB and other crazy cons, isn't your boy Beck a big gold proponent? And you cons are so obsessed with history, why not buy some history? I have a few hundred Napoleons, some with 1700 dates, that I bought for nearly the price of the gold content. Lots of 20 dollar double eagles also. I get to fondle the Napoleans but not the others, because the others are uncirculated. And safety deposit boxes are cheap.
Future studies. Just as I thought.
Yes, gold is good, but the current demand is creating a "bubble". Be careful.
"Future studies. Just as I thought. "
When your smart, it's easy to see the future.
I have to admit, that's funny.
CONS don't have any empathy for their fellow citizens. That's well proven by now.
Guess that Limbaugh wouldn't go for anything second hand what health is concerned. Not a set of Auntie's teeth, nor a second hand quadruple bypass eh? ;)
Got the feeling he smokes Cuban cigars though. Would that make him a commie? ;)
Beck and all cons have a big beak and are just a heartless herd.
Animals have more feelings than cons.
"Beck and all cons have a big beak and are just a heartless herd."
I think it's an intelligence factor. Beck barely graduated HS, from what I hear, Limbaugh, Im not sure. But what we certainly know as a fact, according to a huge recent study, cons are just not that smart period.
"If secular liberals can give up some of their snootiness, and if evangelicals can retire some of their sanctimony, then we all might succeed together in making greater progress against common enemies of humanity, like illiteracy, human trafficking and maternal mortality. "

You really are simple! Your trying to draw a line between the two that doesnt exist. Did Obama write checks to millions of workers collecting stimulus money for the work they did, NO!!! Obama wrote checks to their employers hoping that it would trickle down to the employees. So explain to me how stimulus is better than tax cuts for the wealthy. Dont forget the wealthy are the one employing American!
"Did Obama write checks to millions of workers collecting stimulus money for the work they did"
BB, you simple moron, the 350 billion in tax cuts, one the largest tax cuts in history, the one that only 2 percent of the idiot lickers aka cons even knew about. That stimulus.
Brandon said...

Don't forget that the wealthy transfer/employ jobs outside of the USA. It's called selling out your country.
Small business creates the majority of jobs in the USA. They're really not that wealthy.
I think Case is more depressed now than ever. That was a major study Case, but you had to sense it was true, event before those results came out. Look on the bright side, you still have your good looks, unless your making that up.
I have difficulties in understanding the CONS. ;)
The hospital bills the insurance co's for patients' treatments.
The insurance co's often due to staff shortage approve any payment to the hospitals under $100K.
Now here are some examples what hospitals charge for common items.
1 Tylenol: $140.00
(In the store: 1 BOTTLE of 100 Tylenol $10.00?
$1K for a toothbrush (YES)
$53.00 for a pair of disposable gloves.
(In the store: $0.24 a pair)
Hospitals say that they have to recoup the money for UNINSURED people who got treatment.
Therefore, the above means that the hospitals are passing the buck to the health insurance co's who in turn pass the buck to their clients by charging exorbitant fees.
Everybody who has health care insurance is paying for the uninsured.
The proposed health care bill will ensure an additional 30 million people.
If all these 30 million uninsured get insurance, the hospitals don't have to charge those ridiculous fees for Tylenol etc. and therefore the health insurance premiums SHOULD lower because more people would pay into health care insurance.
Why do CONS do not understand the above? Beats me. It's just common cents/sense huh?
Guess where I got some of the above info from?
I dont get cons either. Here is more interesting info:
"In 2009, US total health care costs increased to 17.3 percent of GDP, with escalating premiums eating.."
"But you can reach that conclusion only by ignoring how the rest of the club of affluent countries manages to insure everyone for 9 or 10 percent of GDP, and have a healthier and longer-lived population, to boot. They do it, of course, through universal, socialized insurance. "
So they get better results with half the cost.
Small business creates the majority of jobs in the USA. They're really not that wealthy.

Sorry, but your wrong! Read "the millionaire next door" and you will understand that Americas wealth is not all in the hands of CEOs of banks. Small buisness owners are Americas wealthy.

Raygun, you moron! The tax cuts were only 288 billion and only 92 billion of that has been paid out. The rest of the 787 billion is for worthless social programs and payments for the wealthy buisness owners. So again, why do you support the stimulus while condeming trickle down.

poor smart compasionate liberal, denture jokes pain you but Letterman can talk about Sarahs handicapped children getting knocked up at a ball park by a pro ball player and thats just good family humor, morons!
I agree, Joey. They have a double standard for sure. We know that.
We see it everyday. This is just another case of it. The most frustrating thing is that they don't want to know the facts.
Hope you stick with this, Joey as we can use more common sense on this blog---and these guys really aren't bad...Just misinformed.
Crazy, crazy, God fearing cons. Why do you love your military so much, when you have Him? We need our military to fight the other Gods warriors? I think cons are just flat scared of everything. Terrorists, communists, socialists, you name it they're scared of it.
We are spending around 700 billion per year on the cons most treasured government program, the military. Hey efficiency suggestion, ask God to protect you so we can save money on the military.
Cons, Gods gift to Mammon.
Hey CJP and A2, and any other anti cons, help me with a list of things Cons are skeered of:

2) Sex
3) Helping the poor

Come on Raygun address the points: Stimulus vs. trickle down!
Who got the tax cuts anyway? I am having trouble finding a break down of EXACTLY where our money went.
BB, once again you are FOS. Social programs, are you calling SS, and Medicare, social programs?
Plus, maybe Obama is sensitive to your teabaggers whining, and is doling out tax cuts slowly, so if things turn around, he can repeal them and cut the deficit.
Whiners.
"BB, once again you are FOS. Social programs, are you calling SS, and Medicare, social programs?"

Why dont you tell me what your president is doing with our money? Recovery.gov only says "social entitlements"

Rg. You and Anon2 are both pathetic. She is worse than you are because she doesn't even have a sense of humor and she is just plain stupid. You are smarter than she is, but you are wilfully blind.
I am tired of trying to have intelligent conversations with either one of you. (she is worse, because she is just plain hateful and pulls the most rediculous shit out of her ass and thinks she's smart)
When CONS don't have an answer they start with personal attacks.
I'm seeing this on an almost daily basis in the media. It's their nature.
I try to keep PERSONAL attacks towards individual CONS to a minimum, but am entitled to freely give my general opinion about CONS.
Rest assured that I don't like cons where ever they live, in the USA, Canada, Europe etc.
Caseyboy, you sure love me a lot. :)

"Despite paeans to diversity, the Republican Party clearly does not want a black man -- or any minority candidate -- in the Senate, leading conservative blogger Erick Erickson wrote Wednesday.
"It is starting to get really disgusting," Erickson, the editor-in-chief of the right-wing site RedState wrote. "First, the GOP said it needed diversity and chose the orange Charlie Crist over the Latino, Marco Rubio. Then the GOP said it needed to do better outreach in the black community, so it ignored Michael Williams in Texas and tried to find a rich white guy to run for the Senate. Now that Kay Bailey Hutchison has lost the Texas primary to Rick Perry without even making it into a runoff, the Washington, D.C. Republicans are scared to death a black man might actually get appointed to the Senate as a Republican."
Even South Carolina GOP Sen. Jim DeMint supports Michael Williams, Erickson noted. "This is really sick," he wrote.
Though Erickson said in a postscript that he was using "a hefty dose of sarcasm," he went on to restate the same point. "The fact remains that the GOP preaches diversity all the time and when presented with an attractive Latino and black candidate, they pass on both because they are too conservative," he wrote."
"When CONS don't have an answer they start with personal attacks."
Yes A2, when they don't like something they attack it. Thank God you are not a country.
Cons can't deal with reason, so they resort to attacks. Wait and see what happens if health care passes. Their little panties will all be wet and sodden, and faces red. They will stomp and pace around, trying to look tough. But we know what will happen in the end. Thank God again, that he made cons chicken hawks.
Really interesting article on the HP the other day. RayGun and w, were cheer leaders in college. They couldn't even handle play war (football) but they sure love cheering others on. On average, they are the same with real war.

Great link RG!
Excerpt:
"The Republican National Committee plans to raise money this election cycle through an aggressive campaign capitalizing on “fear” of President Barack Obama and a promise to "save the country from trending toward socialism."
The strategy was detailed in a confidential party fundraising presentation, obtained by POLITICO, which also outlines how “ego-driven” wealthy donors can be tapped with offers of access and “tchochkes.”
Ego-driven = egoists, self-absorbed etc.
Offers of access and "tchochkes" = bribes.
A2, regarding Casey, and her sour demeanor, I think she was just dumped by her bo, so shes extra sour lately. Then, she seems to get extra grouchy every month or so... And cons are wired differently, we all are, men, women, et al, all have different chemicals and wiring. But women cons, are the craziest of all, you must admit. Palin, Bachman, Coulter, are all extra nutty. It's not really their fault, just like it not a dogs fault he's a dog.
I think we are all animals in many regards. We all run on the same rules of nature, the same rules of chemistry. We are all pretty much the same. Cons especially hate that idear.
I believe it was Caseyboy who doesn't believe that 40 THOUSAND people die every year due to lack of health insurance.

"Study links 45,000 U.S. deaths to lack of insurance.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year -- one every 12 minutes -- in large part because they lack health insurance and can not get good care, Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday.
Health | Healthcare Reform
"We're losing more Americans every day because of inaction ... than drunk driving and homicide combined," Dr. David Himmelstein, a co-author of the study and an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, said in an interview with Reuters.
Overall, researchers said American adults age 64 and younger who lack health insurance have a 40 percent higher risk of death than those who have coverage.
The findings come amid a fierce debate over Democrats' efforts to reform the nation's $2.5 trillion U.S. healthcare industry by expanding coverage and reducing healthcare costs.
The Harvard study, funded by a federal research grant, was published in the online edition of the American Journal of Public Health. It was released by Physicians for a National Health Program, which favors government-backed or "single-payer" health insurance.
An similar study in 1993 found those without insurance had a 25 percent greater risk of death, according to the Harvard group. The Institute of Medicine later used that data in its 2002 estimate showing about 18,000 people a year died because they lacked coverage.
Part of the increased risk now is due to the growing ranks of the uninsured, Himmelstein said. Roughly 46.3 million people in the United States lacked coverage in 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau reported last week, up from 45.7 million in 2007.
Another factor is that there are fewer places for the uninsured to get good care. Public hospitals and clinics are shuttering or scaling back across the country in cities like New Orleans, Detroit and others, he said.
Study co-author Dr. Steffie Woolhandler said the findings show that without proper care, uninsured people are more likely to die from complications associated with preventable diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
The Harvard researchers analyzed data on about 9,000 patients tracked by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics through the year 2000. They excluded older Americans because those aged 65 or older are covered by the U.S. Medicare insurance program.
"For any doctor ... it's completely a no-brainer that people who can't get health care are going to die more from the kinds of things that health care is supposed to prevent," said Woolhandler, a professor of medicine at Harvard and a primary care physician in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

"We the PEOPLE" DO NOT want Government Control of the healthcare industry (1/5 of our Economy)!!! Obama is a Marxist and protege of Saul Alinsky (Marxist/"Community Organizer"/Revolutionary to "Change" America with "Social Justice"...all terms used by Obama. In fact, Obama has been caught using these and many other exact lines and terms from Alinsky's teachings!!! Obama is a Communist and desires to create total Government Control of the "People"! He has stated in his own book and in interviews his disdain for the Constitution, stating "We have an obligation to release the American People from the bounds and constraints that our Founding Fathers have burdened them with by the Constitution." Enough said! Now Obama wants to pass Legislation (1/5 of Our Economy) through a device used and designed for budget cutting and not passage of Legislation...Reconciliation!!! Obama finds many ways as all good Communists would, to circumvent the Constitution! Stand up For America and Your Children's Future...become heard!!!
I have to leave this comment, my ex wife had a major heart attack last year with no insurance, she had a stint put in, was in an Elpaso hospital for only 3 days, they charged her 3800 a day for the room! isnt that higher than Hilton? the doctor used a stint and was in the operating room for 40 minutes! the total bill was over $84K, she didn't die, she was treated, she cant pay the bill, but at the same time should the bill really be 84K thats Eighty Four Thousand dollars! 3 nights and 40 minutes of surgery that some other doctor taught this doctor how to do??? the hospital purchased the equipment the doctor used? maybe we should simply regulate cost! if the bill had been lets say 15 thousand she could work out a payment plan and get the bill paid instead of something untouchable!!!
At first I thought it was funny to read the lib/socialist/progressive/communist view, however. after reflection it is truly very sad that so many minds have been destroyed to believe that progressive/coomunism is what is necessary for America! It is truly sad, how your own vile opinions and words have no intellectual merit, yet the lib/comunists believe the conservatives are the nuts! Nothing is free in theis world nor in America. If you truly believe that the government has a responsibility for all your needs, the simple fact is that you never matured and grew up. Mao, Stalin, Hitler and Castro etc. would all love to have slaves to Big Government...because that is all you are promoting. Socialism and later Communism never works! Here's hoping you all grow up and stand on your own feet someday, just like the Founding Fathers intended! Good luck.

Before you go running your mouth, maybe you should ask your self why we have so many uninsured Americans? We still have Americans who dont buy car insurance. Is the answer to that problem, buy car insurance for everyone in America?
"the total bill was over $84K, she didn't die, she was treated, she cant pay the bill, but at the same time should the bill really be 84K thats Eighty Four Thousand dollars!"
-Joey
Why dont you have health insurance???
So my dear smart Brandon, where in the Constitution does it say that everyone has a right to a car. Under your government, does everyone have a right to government housing too?? Its not that conservatives have no feelings, that is left to the left, Mao/Stalin/Saddam Hussein/Castro/Khmer Rouge/Kim Jong il etc,
Intentional killing of large numbers of civilians, as a rule, for belonging to a particular social or ethnic group, occurred in the Soviet Union under Stalin, in the People's Republic of China under Mao, and in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, and on a smaller scale in some other countries that declared adherence to a communist doctrine. These killings, that took place mostly during civil wars, mass elimination of political opponents or counter-revolutionaries, mass terror campaigns, or land reforms may fit a definition of mass murder, democide, politicide, "classicide", "crimes against humanity", or loosely defined genocide.
If you dont start thinking, this is wjhat you advocate through Big Government, that will "care for you!!!"
The term Progressive for a political mindset is used by Marxists. I can provide several websites that are Marxist (blantant; not hiding---very openly Marxist)that call themselves Progressives, and promote the Progressive agenda.
I wonder if these guys realize that?
I doubt that RG does. I think RG deep down likes his freedoms but is confused. CJP is proudly a Progressive, but does not believe that it is the same party as in early 20th century. Wrong.
Case, sweet nut, who in their right mind would not want to be a progressive? You cons just don't understand words.
pro·gres·sive
1.
favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, esp. in political matters: a progressive mayor.
2.
