He gave us a phone, he gonna do more...

[ZahZoo]

Yeah, I read it... why not give them a land line? When I had one it was $23 a month versus my data plan which is $120 a month... The fact that the lifeline program more than doubled under obama's watch makes me think he's buying votes.

That's what I was thinking... give them a basic land-line, no long distance, no frills. Then you've covered the basic elements that the original program intended. Poor & elderly have a way to summon emergency help if needed, they have a phone to assist with job related activities, and basic communications.

If they need internet... there's still $10 a month dial up available... as it's not a necessity they can pony up themselves or go to the library and fight Gar for an available workstation...

I don't care how stupid people are... no matter racial or otherwise. We have to quit pandering to the lowest common denominator and allowing freeloaders an easy avenue to be supported by our tax dollars. Doesn't mean you can't help people who really need it... but there has to be clear and simple fair criteria that involves an opportunity for a hand up... not a hand out.

This.

Nailed it..

[fifth element]

BTW...the Obama Administration is doing NOTHING to tell these people he's not responsible for giving them a free phone.

Barack Obama is a lying CUNT.

Kinda like Mitt Romney when he says he CARES about the American people?

Our 911 is set up so that cell phones with no service can still call it. Do you guys have that down there? if you do, give people old cells, but if they want to call anything other than 911, they have to pay for the service.

I'm pretty sure I pay a fee for 911 access...

I use a pay as you go phone (prepaid). Even if I have $0 on it, 911 calls are supposed to go through. Haven't needed it yet thankfully, but that's what it's 'supposed' to do.

As usual, you make no sense. Please try to learn to put a coherent thought together.




BBahole...you might want to think.....I am the last one you want to fuck with....I give you sweet easy rides most of the time....stay unconscious....will work better for you.

You do not want my left knee in your neck. That always is a ride home in the Taxi with lights that has a big bill.

And I do make fun of Ford and the rest....I am not registered with either party....I actually wanted to see a Republican Candidate fielded....I worked for Reagan back in the '80s. I consider it kinda of folly, but it did teach me a lot.

Convince me that Mitt Romney deserves my vote, after all, I have a lot of life experience, and so far Romney, is not very convincing.

Touche'.

Reagan lied, Clinton lied, neither lost their job over it. What is flummoxing is why the Republican Party has taken lying to a completely new level, I really did used to have more respect for them.

If they lose this election, I hope they decide that their principles will be honorable again, and debate upon the facts, not the next lie out of Rush Limabaugh's mouth.

So let me know why I should vote for Mitt. Seriously. I am an Independant.

Lol I once shared an elevator with Rocky in SLC as he came to see my bosses in our "skyscraper" (as high as SLC gets). It was about the time Hannity came to debate him, and Rocky did not do his ideas justice. So I will declare I am not voting for him.

So now why Mitt BBAsshole?

Or shall we return to civility.

I am addressing you Big Bad Brian.

I'm pretty sure I pay a fee for 911 access...

We all do in the US... it's subsidized from both land-line and cell phones.

Same here.

Have you actually seen the whole movie "Idiocracy"?

It was made in 2006, and even since then, there seems to be an alarming increase in the trend towards that type of institutional dumbassery, which pretty much began the day Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine and TV Networks decided that news should become another profit driven entertainment venue.

The real idiot of the movie, the BIGGEST idiot, was Luke Wilson's character. Blase' about everything, went through his life doing nothing, making no difference, taking no stand, just being...and it was HIS inaction to what was really going on in the world around him that allowed the future of Idiocracy to become real as society was allowed to become more and more stupid and entertainment driven until it was all summed up by a ruined planet and people obsessed with a guy getting his balls smashed on national TV.

In honesty, we're not that far away from it now and you sure as hell don't need a movie or a time machine to see it coming. We could all use a little less Luke Wilson.

That said, I love what they did with Starbucks. Major improvement.

[gbranton]

The reforms included eliminating unnecessary subsidies, cutting off duplicative subscriptions and requiring better proof of eligibility.

WHAT? Requiring that people identify themselves? No fucking way man. That's just a bunch of racist bullshit designed to supress phone usage.

Get your own lines, kid, and quit stealing mine.

Geez, you're way too impressed with yourself.

You're no Independent. You may think you are one, but you're not. Not by a long shot.

Civility? This is the Frontline. This forum has NEVER had civility.

Actually, ask me nicely. Why don't you do like I told that conspiracy-nut Elvis...start a thread on it?

Possible thread title: "Who are you going to vote for and why?" Possibly you can even relate one of your monumental life experiences as to how you're going to vote.

Until then, fuck off. You don't harness enough horsepower to make any demands on me or my time, got it?

Good. Now remember....nice.

[jhale667]

You don't harness enough horsepower to make any demands on me or my time, got it?

Ironic since you barely harness enough brainpower to tell your own lungs to inflate...

[SunisinuS]

Notice no reasons listed to vote for Mitt?

BBB, anyone that names Themselves BBB seems way too impressed with themselves. Aren't nicknames/titles usually given by others?

Persuasive logic does not seem to be part of your lexicon.

Sigh.

Next.

Lol here is another reason to make fun of Democrats.....comedy....really?

ObamaPhones Profiting ObamaDonors
Program to aid the poor lining the pockets of the wealthy

BY: Andrew Stiles
October 8, 2012 5:00 am

A wireless company profiting from the so-called “Obama phone” giveaway program is run by a prominent Democratic donor whose wife has raised more than $1.5 million for the president since 2007.

Last week a video of a President Barack Obama supporter in Ohio claiming to have received a free phone from the president—“[Obama] gave us a phone!”—went viral, prompting media outlets to investigate.
