The Contract with America is Utopitarian and has very little connection with reality or economic fact. It also has at least one item that is bogus. You can't repeal what isn't there.


Utopitarian?  There is a utopia; and utopian; and even utopianism.  Did you just make up a word?   Yes. It's a well observed tradition in corporate marketing.


You gots a problem? Ken I haz Internet?

We grammar nazis always have problems....

Wow, how does anyone prove something like this?     By releasing medical records?  Yeah right.  Like I would go to my doctor and tell him I smoke crack and have sex.

Top tea partier demands Obama prove he doesn’t smoke crack and have gay sex

The president of Tea Party Nation declared on Thursday that if Mitt Romney is to release his tax returns, President Barack Obama should release medical records to prove he’s not a drug addict who smoked crack and had gay sex with a lifelong con-man.

Judson Phillips, whose for-profit group is better known to Tennessee as the “Tea Party Nation Corporation,” explained in an essay that also went out in a mass email to his followers that the American people must know whether the president had secret financial support in college due to his status as a “foreign student” — and dredged up a long-disproved story of Obama’s alleged encounter smoking crack and having sex with a gay prostitute.

“A man named Larry Sinclair claims that in 1999 he and Barack Obama had sex and then smoked crack cocaine,” Phillips wrote. “This is 1999, nine years before Obama would run for President. Crack cocaine is very addictive. It is very destructive. Addiction specialist will tell you that a crack addiction is very tough to break.”

He added: “Is Obama an addict?  Was he an addict in the past? These are all legitimate questions to ask about a man who has his hands on the nuclear trigger. Why is Obama hiding these records and why isn’t the drive by media asking these questions. Why aren’t Republicans demanding the answers to these questions, instead of telling Mitt Romney he needs to play into Obama’s hands by releasing more tax returns?”

Otherwise, Phillips explained, Americans will never really know if Obama used cocaine and had gay sex with Larry Sinclair, a lifelong con-man who’s made wild allegations against the president and even published a book about the lewd tale. He told The National Press Club in 2008 that Obama is actually gay, but Sinclair’s claims were widely disregarded due to his 26-year-criminal history. Sinclair’s arrest on forgery charges, which immediately followed his big press conference, didn’t help much either.

Nevertheless, conservative conspiracy tabloids like World Net Daily have continued to cheerlead the story as if it has some stroke of growing legitimacy, and Sinclair enjoyed a resurgence of sorts after the president said he supports marriage equality. He’s since predicted that President Obama will “come out of the closet” if he’s reelected.

While Phillips’ statements are alarming, he’s no stranger to controversy. He said in November 2010 that it “makes a lot of sense” to restrict voting rights to just property owners. He again landed in headlines in August 2011, after explaining that American liberals have “killed a billion people” in the last century — a remark that came just a day after Phillips compared Wisconsin union workers to Nazi stormtroopers who wore “brown shirts.”

Problem is a singular noun - nothing wrong with my grammar.

Therefore there is an irony in you seeing an irony. The object of the sentence to which the word is refers is a singular noun that makes you guilty of wrongly accusing me of poor grammar. I know how to proerly parse a sentence, do you?

Yes, I do know how to parse a sentence.

A singular noun used as a subject takes the singular form of the verb.

Remove the prepositional phrase and you have, "The problem are they are neither."

In the type of English I speak and write, that is grammatically incorrect.

[Katiebee]

I must weigh in on the side of MissB. She is correct.

As some of you might have noticed, I have recently switched from a liberal/left position to a far superior, conservative/right stance.

I just did a Google search for misspelled signs and placards at liberal rallies to post in here. I could not find any examples... all I came up with were posts about liberalscum infiltrators sneaking in misspelled signs to Tea Party events.

FUCK!

Thereby your argument is moot at your own admission, look at the first quote again.

It is not moot, it is only ironic.

No, I simply woke up to the lies of liberals... Joan and Breitbert opened my eyes to the truth.

No Buddy! That makes you just as complicit in the wholesale dismantling of America as the treehugging, freeloading "occupiers"... This country MUST be saved from the libscum that want to take our money, guns and our love for Christ.

Who will stop liberal radicals like Lois, if I don't? This will be a reckoning!

Tea Party president demands Obama prove he isn't gay and doesn't smoke crack.

The president of Tea Party Nation Corporations, based in Tennessee, is Judson Phillips. He recently wrote an essay that made several ridiculous assertions that if Mitt Romney was going to be forced to release his tax returns that President Obama should, in kind, release medical records. This, Phillips feels, would help prove that the president is not a drug addict, and that he has never had gay sex.

Phillips bases his statements and implications on the claims of a career conman of 29 years named Larry Sinclair, who in 1999 says that he had sex with President Obama and then shared some crack with him. Quite the source. Sinclair also published a book about the alleged incident, which I will not name to deprive him of free exposure. The profit involved in stoking the fears of others might be a clue into the mentality of someone who would make up a story like this. He certainly did not write the book for free.

Please note that during a press conference for his book, Larry Sinclair was arrested for fraud.

The Tea Partier went on to ask, "Is Obama an addict? Was he an addict in the past? These are all legitimate questions to ask about a man who has his hands on the nuclear trigger."

Except that the president has had his finger on the 'trigger' for over three years. This entire letter is simply designed to play to the lowest common denominator of politics. It shows quite clearly that The Tea Party is afraid of the president, and that they have nothing to use against him. They, therefore, dig into their bag of smears.

This particular claim is especially ridiculous, and desperate. The right wing hopes to deflect questions away about Mitt Romney's past and why he refuses to release his tax returns in the name of transparency. It has been a bane to his campaign, and many top Conservative pundits concede that he is involved in a losing battle.
