Moody's ratings

Dear wealth-redistribution-by-wealthy-people-apologist,

There you go again.
Come clean.  How often do you beat your wife?

XXXX's and OOOO's.

RUF

All those rich who provide the jobs to people like you; often pay more in taxes per year than you would earn in how many years?; give more to charities that help those "powerless" welfare queens than the likes of you; spend more at shops/stores/restaurants which basically drives the economy...

I'd love to see this country as a "meritocracy."  It's not.

So the answer is No, you do not employ anyone and, Yes, you are a member of the moocher class whose livelihood is tied to someone "rich". Sucks to be you dude. I mean, imagine how your life could be upended because of that rich guy's mood change.

Listen, oligarchist:

My grandfather never employed anyone; he worked for "ma' bell" for decades.
He fought for his country.
He was more of a MAN THAN YOU WILL EVER BE.
Did that make him a member of the "moocher class?"

I tried.  I studied, got good grades, got a full tuition college scholarship.
I worked as hard as I could work over the course of decades.  I failed.
If I ever lose my job, or get a different job, or try to start a business,
I will have a pre-existing condition:  colon cancer.
Does that make me part of the "moocher class?"

The soprano from Oklahoma who will be singing the lead in Lucia di Lammermoor at Tulsa Opera....... she doesn't employ anybody.... does that make her part of the "moocher class?"

I do not despise wealth-- I hate pompous, holier than thou, soul-less, wealth-and-greed apologists like you, Gweed.

I'll be sure and tell everybody in the office tomorrow that you think they're all part of the "moocher class."

Well, let's give three cheers up to the National Enquirer for breaking the "big, big" John Edwards extramarital affair story notwithstanding the other stories it breaks.

And yes I still believe the war in Iraq was necessary. Sorry if you can't handle that. No more bribes to families of suicide bombers who kill Israelis, no more terrorist training camps, no more harassing of our planes in the "no fly" zone, oh, and that whole 20 million people now living free and not under the boot of a dictator is also kinda nice. Do I wish there had been the WMD stockpiles? Yes. Do I wish there had been a better post invasion plan? Yes. However, I will never, never, say any war was unnecessary where American soldiers' lives were lost fighting it.

Like I care about John Edwards and his extramarital affair. Like I said, it doesn't have one iota of importance compared to an unnecessary war and a near-collapse of the world economy. These are big, big things that have global implications for years, maybe decades.

And as for Iraq, a trillion dollars and thousands of U.S. soldiers' lives to put in place an Islamic republic strongly linked to Iran is a good thing, right?

Wow.  I could write Guido's posts for him at this point.

Go ahead loser. And while you are at it, ask them how often they beat their wives...

Updated: Thanks for proving my point about you being a moocher, mooching off your grandfather's legacy to make some inane point. Now, you will excuse me while I bathe in a huge pile of money.

[guido911]

Do you have the time? After all, you are busy writing the posts for USRuf, RW, trog, townsend or are they writing for you because you all have the same message.

Except that there is a Bush connection to Moody's ratings..... Republicans love to talk about "personal responsibility" and how to get tough on crime, drugs, etc etc.... yet when it comes to the wealthy, they use rhetoric like "voluntary compliance" and "self regulating"

ACORN and Welfare queens could never wreak the financial havoc that Wall Street wealth redistributors have wrought on this country.... but go ahead, blame the powerless...

Believe it or not, a lot of those Wall Street types are card-carrying Democrats.  There's a D.C. connection to Moody's ratings would be a more accurate statement.

I love watching an attorney resort to AdHoms.  Reinforces my notion on most attorneys.

Way to absolutely ignore the point I was making and my comparison to an irrelevant jabbing at Obama. Can't refute an argument, change the subject.

Like I said, I care much more about stories that have big import. If you want to obsess over trivialities such as Edwards' sex life, go ahead. I think unnecessary and expensive wars and a near-collapse of the world economy are much bigger deals. YMMV.

Repeat yourself much? 

Po' widdle guido's gettin' mad and calling other people names. 

[rwarn17588]

I'm starting to doubt now that guido ever went to law school. Throwing childish insults like that indicates that he/she didn't even graduate from fifth grade.

Umm, I repeated myself on purpose because you still have not addressed my point. As for name-calling, are you referring to my calling usruf a "loser" and a "moocher"? Sorry if that offended YOU and anyone else, but I think usruf can take care of himself and does not need you to fight his battle. Curious, though, how you admonish me for name calling and in the same breath call me "childish". Just wow to that rank hypocrisy.
