According to Speaker Pelosi "500 million Americans lose their jobs" without the economic recovery package.

I guess when you are thinking of spending so many trillions, it's tough to keep track of small numbers like millions. No wonder we need an economic stimulus package asap. Video (so you can see her saying it) is here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8hMJVXt09E

I look at the behavior of a poster to determine if they appear liberal or conservative. When confronted with a liberal making a dump, idiotic statement, instant forgiveness and understanding was offered. Followed almost immediately by an attack against Republicans.

Now, someone who instantly forgives liberal Democrats, and instantly attacks conservative Republicans, isn't exactly a moderate in my book.

I wasn't attacking Republicans, I was appreciating the difference between dozens of humorous slips and the OP.

I'm kind of guessing that she bases her estimation of her own political position on her ideas, positions on issues, etc., and doesn't much give a hoot if you think she's mistaken.

Interesting that one misspoken word by a liberal is immediately attacked by conservatives and yet for four years, conservatives were perfectly happy with the spoken words of the past President.

Just kind of pointing out how we have the pot calling the kettle black here, given that you seem to drag out EVERY mistatement or purported misdeed by the current administration as evidence of the terrible job they are doing when they are just getting started. You seem to want to forgive the past admin every mistake they made for the past eight years and drag the current one through the mud at any given opportunity.

I am not sure why "forgive and forget" are necessary for what is clearly an error that harms no one.

***While it was humorous, there was NOTHING to forgive, because what he did harmed no one.
