That Clint cries for the unemployed. He does not even know the correct number.

He has been a very lucky man, but then he believes he deserves everything and you don't or you would have it. Eastwood like the teaparty believe noone but themselves ever suffer any injustice. What has he ever done to show he cares??

...you're thinking what's a movie tradesman doing out here".


Did anyone else expect a different ending to that sentence?

Have you watched any of those movies lately? I loved 'em back in high school, but now it's very difficult to overlook the constant barrage of right wing messaging they slip into them.

Good thing I was playing solitaire or I'd have never gotten through it.

Those free thinkin', rugged individualists in the Republican Party sure are big on three syllable chants, aren't they?

"We own this country"????

As in REPUBLICANS???

THEY DON'T OWN THIS COUNTRY!!!


“Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.”

― Harry S. Truman

I am MorganKrista1 (which are my daughter's names). I wonder how long my comment will even stay up there. I see anyone who doesn't toe the Repub line is accused of being paid by Moveon.org. I am not paid, wish I was!

That aside, he was disappointing. I would take counsel from Joe Biden over him any day. Selfish out-of-touch asshole.

Eastwood could have run that past someone before he said lawyers shouldn't be president.
The ravages of age weigh heavily on this one. So sad.

with a whiny-assed criminal who needs KILLING.

Interesting, especially since the LIGHT of TEApublicans, Ayn Rand, was a child-mutilating murderer's sycophant, very interesting indeed.

Add all of the hostile and completely OFF-BASE stuff about "go fuck yourself" and it impossible to conclude anything other than that this is an ignorant, paranoid, old-man, who doesn't have one clue about what is happening in most of our lives . . . .

a true harbinger of the international financial oligarchy that seeks to further enslave America.
