Rep. Joe Barton (R) Texas
Joe Barton is the fuckwit who, during his opening remarks at congressional hearings on the BP Oil spill actually apologized to Tony Hayward!! Barton thought the Obama Administration treated the BP C.E.O. unfairly after his company caused the worst environmental disaster in American history! Most people were annoyed because Obama didn't deal more harshly with Hayward and BP, but not this Big Oil Texan.
Joe Barton, the infamous bp sympathizer should be an embarassment to the G.O.P. and all of America!

Greedy banks often charge their customers a fee for anything and everything, however the ATM fee takes it one step further. With the ATM fee, banks can even rob, I mean charge fees, to people who don't even have accounts with them.
It is really fucked up that a bank can charge someone $2 to get access to their own money!
I refuse to pay an ATM fee to get my own money! If an ATM asks me if it's okay to charge me $2 to get my money, I say FUCK NO! and go to a free ATM.

A term describing the faulty logic of Reaganomics. Also known as trickle down, the theory is that if you reduce income (i.e. cut taxes) then you somehow generate more revenue. Obviously, this is not rational thinking.
The proof that this did not work (as if anyone needed it) is the fact that the national debt tripled during the Reagan Administration.
Less is more? WTF? Reagan math is a bunch of bullshit!

An early 2010 decision by the U.S. Supreme eliminated limits on campaign donations from corporations. This decision lead to corporations declaring holy war on incumbent Democrats. Big corporations spent HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS on Republican campaigns, mostly through secret "non-profit" organizations and 527 groups. With the help of these unlimited corporate donations, the G.O.P. outspent Democrats 10 to 1. Unfortunately for America, the 2010 Election will go down in history as the nasiest and most expensive mid-term election ever (so far.)
The Corporate Jihad in 2010 lead to the Republicans gaining a controlling majority interest in Congress and an increased minority share of the Senate. The only real winner in this election was the media and advertising firms.

The amount of money American taxpayers have pay to cover the taxes Walmart avoids. This term also applies to the increased drain on taxpayer funded programs by underpaid and uninsured Walmart employees.
Walmart sets up stores in buildings they "rent" from their own shell companies. They pay "rent" to themselves, then deduct it from their taxes. This money grubbing scum scheme helped Walmart avoid $3.39 Billion in state taxes from 1999-2005.
Also taxpayers will pay $9.1 Billion over the next 5 years to cover Walmart employee health care costs. They have almost 800,000 workers without health care coverage. Many of Walmart's employees are forced to use Medicaid or just show up at an emergancy room. This kind of bullshit taxes us all by increasing the cost of healthcare for all of us!
The Walmart tax hurts the whole economy and helps keep them rich while shifting the costs to the people. Their Pro-China attitude towards merchandise hurts American jobs and their heinous tax avoidance schemes also hurt America's bottom line! Here's the real cost of the WalMart Tax-- If WalMart paid all of the taxes they owed in 2005: 318,440 uninsured children would have health coverage; 21,963 elementary school students would have new classrooms; and 9,499 additional police officers could be patrolling our streets! "SAVE MONEY--LIVE BETTER," obviously this doesn't really apply to the shoppers only to the Walmart corporation!

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994).
The 37th president of the United States from 1969-1974. Most people remember Nixon for the Watergate scandal and the Viet Nam War, however many good things happened during that time too.
During this time, Republicans still cared about the environment, still cared about the working class and were still pro-family. for example, the Nixon Administration created the EPA and OSHA.
President Nixon was the last Progressive Republican.

Misguided fools that don't understand what the American Civil Liberties Union is all about. The aclu defends people and organizations that face threats to their Constitutional Rights. The Constitution is meant to protect Americans from the powerful government, corporations and/or individuals. Remember everyone is created equal? The aclu takes on cases to defend people's civil rights, particularly those in the 1st Ammendment: freedom of the press, religion, speech and assembly.
ACLU bashers are usually just misinformed fuckwits, however some neocons actually are opposed to the idea of a group defending the rights of the little guy.
