I never disputed the factual nature of the Stimulus Watch site...just the fact that it does not tell the full story.

Why are you so afraid of more facts or a more complete picture to supplement (not contradict) that site or immediately question the validity of the supplemental information I provided?

Your words:

Looking over stimuluswatch.com, there seems to be many many such programs. Yes there are some related to infrastructure, but there are so many that seem to have nothing to do with building anything. I wonder how many of these organizations/companies/corporations that got these grants are "friends" of political people. I would guess a whole bunch of them.
Where is the evidence of "bias" in that DoAG report or the filing from the company (not govt figures on jobs, but from the company that is required to report those figures)?

It is typical Merc (and UG) bullshit and you've evidently joined the club. You're great at posting links that may be factual but only tell half the story.

added:
BTW, you also made an ignorant, uninformed comment on the cops funding in Miami based on your factual source:

Um - thats like over $200,000 per officer. WTH?
You jumped right on the "facts" (less than complete) from the site and assumed the worst because it fit your agenda.

Thats what you do. Half truths or a less than complete set of facts are evidently enough for you to make an "informed" decision.

More of those negative waves, dude.

I corrected you on that one as well....

And I didnt call anyone an asshole or make comments about anyone's wife...that was you, dude.

I never said there was - I simply asaid I wondered about who got these grants and opened the possibility of it to discussion. You took offense and screamed bloody murder. You act as though it never happens. I call Bullshit on that. It happens every day and you probably make your living from it. You've already acmitted to being associated with a lobbyist firm.

See thats your problem - you have an agenda and incorrectly assume everyone else does as well.

Wrong again - that was tw - it happened right here and is well documented.

You certainly should be able to answer that if the source is biased.

Why is telling the more complete story mean having an agenda as opposed to telling a less complete story or providing less documented information?

Your interpretation:
Contract: Small Turkey Deli Breasts $5,379,000 Willmar MN Jobs created...unreported. Great accounting (no agenda?) ....I wish I could find out how this works, $5 million plus ...for turkey breasts? (no agenda?) nice going. (no agenda?)
No agenda....bullshit.

My interpretation:
Project Report:$5 million for 2.9 million lbs for domestic food assistance programs....less than $2/lb....seems like a reasonable price...Jobs created - 285.
Now who has an agenda(based on less than a full picture of the project) and who provided more factual information, unless you have evidence to the contrary?

You have made your disdain for the stimulus program clear in numerous negative posts, which is your right; just man up to it.

This was just the latest example.

Everyone has an agenda with the exception of you and Merc.....same old story.

Why do you again post accusations and never any facts. When do you post something factual that must stand scrutiny? You never do. You are very good as subliminal attacks and subjective claims. When you cannot prove something, then you challenge others to provide facts.

Put up some facts for your claims. You are not the victim here. You are the problem. Post some facts rather than taking cheap shots at reality. Your challenges used to mask a shortage of facts is tiring. And what Limbaugh encourages neocons to do.

Or was it all Clintons fault - as you are routinely posting in so many threads. That is your political agenda showing. You could at least put your skirt back on and cover it up.

I posted facts tommy - try reading for a change, instead of writing.

Redux, still itching eh? I posted all I have to say on this - You have your opinion and I have mine. Do you not realize that no matter how many times you repeat the same thing that will not change?

Right..you dont have an agenda.....you just assume that the data from the DoAg and the company in question is biased....but of course, you cant provide any documentation.

And everyone else has an agenda.

You are right..I have an agenda...exposing your bullshit for what it is!

uh, that would you be repeating yourself again. Me and my bullshit??? Yeh right! Perhaps you should contact the independent source, stimuluswatch.org, I quoted and take it up with them. Perhaps you can talk down to them and they'll listen.
By the way - Posting, re-posting and re-re-posting the same thing doesn't work - Aside from tw, most here read it the first time.

Hey...no problem.

You post less than complete information...bitch and whine when it is supplemented and your assumptions exposed as false...call the supplemental information biased..but cant document that bias.

You've been exposed for all to see.

added:

you certainly didnt complain about my perspective or sources when you PM me wanting suggestions to help with someone's school paper. got an A on that paper if I recall.

fucking hypocrite.

Gee now my feelings are hurt. I've been called a "fucking hypocrite" on the internet by a self admitted lobbyist.

No reason for hurt feelings.

Just put your skirt back on as TW suggested...your agenda has been exposed and may experience snow blindness to match your blind accusations and false assumptions.

Maybe Merc can help you with your next school paper.

Redux, give it up. You'll never make him see what a fucking senseless hypocrite he is. You helped his kid get an A on a paper (had to be his kid, who the fuck else would he need to help with a school paper, merc?). Yep, using, lying, and the need to be what he considers "in" negates any personal conviction or integrity.

You would think the effort on your part, and the fact he thought you knew enough that you could help his kid with his homework, would have warranted a "hey you guys, this guy ain't so bad after all....listen how he helped me!" In-fucking-grate of the highest magnitude, and then he would have to admit an alliance with an outsider.

Sometimes it just boils over. Don't you get it yet class? Your line of senseless posts and your circling around looking for a place to shit and your jumping up in the tall grass to see what all the other dogs are doing has been exposed. You should be ashamed, except you're not self-aware enough to realize your idiocy is a flashing neon light to most except yourself and those who love that you're their sycophant. Your friends, my friend (HA!) keep you around for reasons like needing to be worshipped and needing your business. That, and nothing else.

And now, I'm out.

Why not? Your jumpers will be here any time now. This is YOUR typical MO. Patience, we take longer to catch on to what everyone else is doing, being free-thinking and without the need for the acceptance of the masses.

I try not to get into political conversations. No point. After all - it's those damn liberals fault anyway.

They did create sin and everything else that's bad.
