So you and your daughter have no problem with people who wish for people and their children sm
to burn in hell, call people's children ugly, etc. etc.  Well, you might not BE gt, but you might as well be.  Even the liberals don't agree with gt, or hadn't you noticed?  You might want to check that out and while you are at it, the conservative board has been a regular play pen since the liberals stopped their hateful dive bombing.  In fact, some really good conversations are taking place over there between both sides, which DOES NOT happen on this site. 
Bored people are BORING people.

Is that how your people justify killing people?

So then you only like to where people who say what you believe have to say.

Pretty sad.  At least the consevatives here weather the storms and stay.  That pretty much says a lot about you and them, too.  It's sure not like you guys never took pot shots over there. Of course, I am sure it wasn't YOU. Right.


gee, 100,000 people vs. 400 people
100,000 = anti-war protesters
400 = anti-anti-war protesters

Statistics from today's White House rally.

Now shoo, run along home now back to your hole or cave or whatever you crawled out of.
I consider the people..
and programs I mentioned fair and balanced. Meet the Press, Hardball, Tyler Carlson on CNN, Face The Nation. They said that they would not accept Drudge as reliable information, not I although I don't but my opinion carries less weight than that of those mentioned above.

This was a SMALL gathering, and as stated above, Jews tend to support abortion rights more than any other group (15-20%). So this small group hardly speaks for the majority of the Jewish Community.
She has none of those people that we know of ... sm

She just got announced.  I am not saying that there is anything in her background, but it is early and I am sure if there is one iota of a person in her background then we will here about it.  For this whole experience thing, what have we got in the past 8 years and the past 8 before that with all of the so-called experience the Rep. think we need. 


Why are we still bring up Rev. Wright?  Can't we just move past that?  We've heard it all. 


Sorry, people....
The blame for the way Katrina was handled lays completely with the democratic Louisiana governor, Kathleen Blanco, and the democratic New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagin.

They didn't follow the protocol for disasters.

However, now Bobby Jinda, Republican governor, is in charge, and he is handling things the way they should have been back then.....


Why are people so

focused on outward appearances?  It is a person's heart that shows true beauty......not their face.  A face can change over time, but a pure heart remains and that is what is important.


Are these the same people
who can afford their cigarettes and beer?
people should have been more
people make financial mistakes... perhaps some people wouldn't be hurting so badly right now if they had been living within their financial means to begin with.
Why can't more people see that?
My husband has been saying that same thing for the past few years. I am so sick and tired of working so hard to make a good life for my family, only to have *big government* take half of my money to give to people who won't lift a finger and want government to take care of them. It just makes me sick! I don't know why so many people are so blind to this.
some people say

is the line Hannity uses to introduce such wild statements without accepting responsibility for stating them.  The post says the GROUP endosed McCain -- did not libel McCain.  Simply an example of how people are willing to run with any statement that supports their beliefs against a candidate.

545 PEOPLE
  By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget.  The president does.


You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.

The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, nine Supreme Court justices = 545 human beings out of the 300 million who are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.   In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.
They have no legal authority.   They have no authority to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing.   I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.   The politician has the power to accept or reject it.   No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault.   They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.   No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.   The president can only propose a budget.   He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, (supposedly) the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving
appropriations and taxes.   Who is the speaker of the House?   She or he is the leader of the majority party.   She or he and fellow House members, not the
president, can approve any budget they want.   If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and
irresponsibility.   I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.   When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Marines are in  IRAQ , it's because they want them in  IRAQ .

If they do not receive Social Security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's be cause they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they
can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.   Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like 'the economy,' 'inflation,' or 'politics' that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses,  provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.


it's not about the people who can't
x
I want to know why people like
Dodd and Frank aren't being held accountable?  Why aren't the CEOs being held accountable?  It thoroughly ticks me off that this is literally being swept under the rug.  I want to see some punishment here. It is like they all got a get out of jail free card or something.  WTH?  They all lined their pockets with money and we are the ones paying for it and suffering.  People walking away with millions of dollars with no consequences at all while we are left to pay for their misdeeds.  I'm totally disgusted!  I say we clean house and start all over with new people.  I wanna show these politicians that I'm tired of being screwed over by them.  I really feel like this bailout was the rich bailing out their rich friends. 
A lot of people are saying
Don't underestimate Gov. Sarah Palin. She knows more than people give her credit for and she's smart as a whip. Looking forward to the debate.

As for McCain's heath, I wouldn't weigh too heavily on that. He's been cleared of cancer now for at least 7 years by his doctor and is cancer-free. To be worried about that would be the same if something was to happen to Barack or Biden - would you really trust Pelosi as president? That would be too laughable if it weren't so scary. I would say if you agree with McCains policies (which I believe are going to be better for the country than Barack Osocialist's policies) then vote for him. Also remember. There are people who direct every president. There has never been any president who has ever done anything without the approval of their bosses. At least John McCain and Gov Palin will be surrounding themselves with the people who know what's going on and how to handle whatever situation arises with better solutions than the people who Obama would surround himself with. I trust that more than anything.
Yep! And yet so many people still want
more government! Unbelievable.
Because so many people are NOT sensible

What you do with this article now that you have read it
is up to you, though you appear to have several choices.

1. You can send this to everyone in your
address book, and hope' they' do something about
it.

2. You can agree to 'vote against'
everyone that is currently in office, knowing that the
process will take several years.

3. You can decide to 'run for office'
yourself and agree to do the job properly.

4. Lastly, you can sit back and do nothing, or
re-elect the current bunch.

YOU DECIDE, BUT AT LEAST SEND IT TO EVERYONE IN YOUR
ADDRESS BOOK,
MAYBE SOMEONE IN THERE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
Maybe people
who don't put a lot of stock in a name.  Should McCain/Palin be elected, I hope you will like what you get.
It may not be for you but still is for a lot of people. nm

I wish more people were like you
Then the need for welfare would be obsolete.

In our backwards town the people you are reporting to are more than likely relatives of those on welfare! I've brought it up a few times to officials, but nothing ever gets done. They basically say "mine your own business" well it is my business if it's MY tax dollars.

I'm glad to hear things are working out for you now. We aren't very high on the hog either, about at his ankles I would say :) but we get by, and we reach out to those we can. I love our church because they reach out a lot and I've seen at least five people come in who never attended our church and no one at our church knew, and I've watched members hand them money, knowing they would probably never see them or it again. I've watched our preacher take the money from the offering plate and hand it to them. Which is what a church should do. Now maybe those people weren't nothing but drug addicts or alcoholics, but people gave freely, and that's the difference. No one should be forced to give to those less fortunate. That just breeds animosity and class warfare.

I like to give most people the benefit of the doubt, and I tend to trust in people as a whole, but the more I get burnt, the more trust I lose in society as a whole. I'm learning to look at people with a more critical eye, and I don't know if that is a good thing. But after all the abuse of the system I have seen in my town and the towns surrounding, it just makes me really against giving anymore into the welfare system. Not without a total revamping of it. But, we are forced to, so I guess I will! :)


I know people who have had
for babies that were miscarried.
ah, what about the people
who want freedom like you and i have?? Freedom isn't free. It takes sacrifice, something too few understand anymore.
Some people believe everything
they hear.  This is just now "coming out."  Doesn't that tell you something?  Two days before election?  Show me where he said it on VIDEO  tape that is reported on the news..  Don't give me this audio stuff.  I don't care if you support McCain but for God's sake, don't be going off on witch hunts. 
Actually - I'm sure it was on a lot more people's
seriously, if you cast your ballot ahead of time and then you die for the election, does your vote still count?  I'm just wondering if she already submitted her vote, because if so, I think it shouldn't be counted. 
oh no!!! do you think people really believe that? How sad! (sm)
But she has a mortgage...so she won't get a lot of help under O's plan will she?
It is sad that some people can't
get past the us versus them mentality, and it's not just with politics.
Not what most people want to see BUT
Let's face it, most of us are having turkey for Thanksgiving and I, for one, don't believe my turkey dinner died of natural causes.

most people

think I shouldn't waste my time replying.  I am going to agree with them.


 


These are some of the same people whose
mortgage we are probably all going to be paying for. The normal, civilized people in our group of friends don't worry about having to stand in line to save a few bucks on something everybody else has already.
and most people think he should be doing more -
what gives? Nobody can be satisfied. If he does not say or do anything, then he is wrong, if he says something, he is wrong!!!

I don't understand why everybody just wants to complain all the time...

Be happy!
Oh, so it is people like you who keep
time! That's why they always have more viewers than those other ones who are so jealous that they mention O'Rielly at least 3 times a week, usually more.
And people wonder why I have such....(sm)
disdain for christianity.  Hey Lu, where was your scripture when you agreed with the genocide of palestinians?  Or are you just picking and chosing the verse that suits you best in any situation.  So typical and predictable. 
The right people? You would know this how?
x
Because....if people cannot keep up with their
monthly payments, their interests go up and it is still good business for the banks.
The often people take a loan on their equity, lose their interests on this part and so on, down the road to foreclosures.....

Don't let banks tell you that you can afford a loan, if you know in your guts that you cannot or you do not understand what you are getting into.
Banks are 'loan sharks'.
I think that people are just fed up

with others mooching off of the government and supporting themselves by the hard work of others.  These government programs that provide this are liberal ideas.  I've mentioned before that I have no problem helping people who really need the help.  However, I do have a problem with my money going to people who refuse to help themselves.  In that case we are enablers and not helping anyone at all.  The problem with welfare is that the regulation is seriously lacking in that area.  At least Clinton did reform it when he was in office but now Obama is undoing what little reform Clinton had done.  To me....this is just opening up Pandora's box. 


The problem with strict regulations is that it will be harder for people who truly need help to get help.  The dishonest and greedy people always ruin things for the honest people who truly need help.  So what is the answer here?  Either way you go you are screwing honest people and lazy bums are receiving handouts when they shouldn't.


I once went to college with a lady who had 2 kids.  She was trying to get a college degree so she could get a better job.  Her and her boyfriend were living together and he was trying to start his own business.  Needless to say....they were not doing well financially.  They were receiving food stamps and government assistance.  This lady decided that she could get a part-time job to help them out, but was told that if she did get that job, they would take away her food stamps.  Here she was....going to college and was going to get a job to help them out but was told the food stamps would be taken away.  This lady did not take the job because it wouldn't have gotten them ahead at all.  To me....this is government kicking people down instead of helping them up.  These people were really trying and the moment one tried to get a job to help them get ahead, government knocked them down.


Then on the other side of the spectrum, you have single mom's pushing out kid after kid with no intention of working while they receive government assistance.  How is that fair?  How is that helping? 


The reason democrats are stereotyped is because government programs are usually liberal ideas.  Instead of actually helping though.....we are now rewarding irresponsible people instead of truly helping the people that need help and that is what is sad and frustrating whether you are a dem, pub, or independent.


We cannot provide housing, health, clothes, food, etc. for everybody.  We cannot afford it and the more people work to pay for others, the more people will stop working to allow others to pay for them.  This is why socialism doesn't work.  It is nice in theory to think that we are helping others by spreading the wealth around but when you have more people mooching and less people working.......there isn't enough wealth to spread around. 


Wow....if a lot of people did that

it would definitely make an impression.  However, it won't change anything.  As you can tell from the pro-choice people on this board.....nothing you say or show them will change their mind.  Abortion is not something that we can obviously talk civilized about on this board.


You can't stop abortions.  If you try, more women will end up taking harmful substances into their body to try and force an abortion or they will go to some quack who will hack them up to get the procedure done. 


I do not agree with abortions, but I can't stop them so I just look at it like population control and one less possible welfare recipient that I have to pay for. 


Okay....why are people getting

so defensive here.  Sending red envelopes to the president to represent an aborted child is a protest that will cause no harm.  It won't change how Obama feels about abortion or any other pro-choicer for that matter.  This isn't a violent thing.  This isn't like PETA people throwing paint on people with fur coats.  This is just something polite and simple to represent our opinions.  It isn't like the gay rights people who are spray painting messages on the sides of churches or kissing each other in the middle of a congregation. 


Pro-life people are entitled to their opinion as well.  To call us names is very childish.  We are allowed to state our opinions and protest in a non-violent way.  That is a right and our freedom of speech.  If you disagree with our point of view....fine.  We both know that nothing we do will change abortion laws so don't worry about your uterus because I'm sure you can continue to abort as many babies as you choose to and we cannot stop you. 


It amazes me that people just cannot talk and debate about things without being rude and childish.


No, it's people like...sm
Jane Fonda, Barbara Streisand and AL Gore who make me ashamed to be an American.
Because they want the people on

food stamps and any government handouts to eat healthy, that's why. If states chose not to follow those rules, then the program should be taken away from them. Junk food should not be allowed on a program that is designed to help those people eat healthier and/or better.


 


Because people, for whatever ...
unfathomable reason, keep electing the woman!!! And Harry Reid...and Barney Frank....need I go on....lol
No, what is it with YOU people?
'There are none so blind as those who will not see.'

What I and most people want
I'm hearing this more and more on TV and from a lot of democrats too. Most are really starting to wonder about this guy. But upon thinking about this carefully because a lot of the posts below say "What is it you want from Obama", what do you want, he's "ONLY" been in a short time.

Granted...he has been in a short time, so no, I do not expect the economy to be turned around "overnight". It's going to take a long time. But thinking more carefully at what I really want out of Obama is this...

I want him to keep his word he gave on the campaign trail. The first one that comes to mind is he said during his campaign he would go through spending bills "line by line to make sure we are not spending money unwisely". This he has not done. This bill should not have been passed until he went through it "line by line". Maybe he should be more interested in the spending bill rather than what Rush Limbaugh is saying, and if it takes two or three months for him to go through the bill, then that's how long it takes.

Second, he promised to end the war and bring out troops home fast. "I will begin to remove our troops immediately". After inauguration he says that they will "look" at bringing some of the troops home in 16 months. Two weeks later he says they will "look" at bring them home in 23 months. If you really want to hear an un-biased opinion, listen to Jesse Ventura. He supports neither democrats or republicans.

The last one I can think of is that he swore he would vote to repeal the patriot act, but then he voted for its re-authorization.

So, while I know you can't turn around an economy in less than two months, you can't create tons of jobs within just two months, but you can keep your promises you made to the American people that if they vote for you you promise to do these things.

What else did he promise that he is flip-flopping on?

All I want is for him to keep his promises - and please no excuses about why he lied to us.
I don't think that these people

should be receiving death threats.  That is a bit extreme.  However, I wonder why no one is threatening congress.  I mean...aren't they the ones that allowed the loophole that Dodd slipped in there for them to receive that ginormous bonus in the first place?  Why isn't anyone giving Dodd the boot. 


Our government truly makes me sick.  They yell at CEOs for having private jets and how many in our congress use private jets and/or military planes for their personal travels.  Now they are yelling about this AIG thing when congress let this happen in the first place and now they are outraged because the public found out and we are outraged.  If I'm not mistaken....didn't they get a raise too that they voted for themselves.  So why are they any better?


Fat people will be next. sm
It is not our health they are concerned about. They want to get their greedy and corrupt fingers on more of our money and control what we do. Once the smokers quit, where will the tax revenue come from? Overweight people in this country have become a big problem. Because of their terrible eating habits they have been draining medical costs.
