They could have passed this bailout bill on their own if they wanted to. The President can't vote.

FORMER being the operative word here,
I think that is where the system WORKED. Welfare shouldn't be a lifestyle. It should be temporary. He is a WORKING American now. End of story.

The operative word in your post
It comes as no surprise that when a person frequents the same blog sites over and over and over, focuses on and seeks out only those sources which support a given viewpoint, that the view would "seem pretty large."
Mainstream media LOVES a good scandal. One only has to review the recent coverage of cabinet appointees to verify the truth of that statement. They place inordinate amounts of emphasis on negativity and "problems" that might be encountered with a nominee and somehow fail to give equal time to the more positive aspects, strategies behind the selection process or analysis of possible scenarios of opinions, advice and policy initiatives (the real meat behind the circumstance) that would emerge from such an administration. Having said that, at the same time they DO have to uphold certain principles of ethics in their reporting. IF the BC issue had any semblence of legitimacy, they would be all over it. We would be getting wall-to-wall, night and day "breaking news" coverage for weeks on end. It is curious that you do not say exactly who is "telling" them not to cover it. Guess that means you cannot back it up with any sort of fact.
Hawaiian authorities are simply following their own legal framework and abiding by the release of information policies of their state. No deep dark hidden agenda in that since there is no boat to rock. The fact that Californian electorates are parties to suits against Obama only goes to show us all that there is no end to the ridicule the plaintiffs are willing to bring down upon themselves in their attempt to overthrow a legitimate election result.
Judges in the lower courts have been unanimous and consistent in the decisions they have rendered and, again, it is curious that you have provided no specifics on just who has "bought them out" and what they are afraid of....perhaps for the same reason...no available proof to the allegations.
Please spare me any concern you may feign over "civil unrest." That is precisely the goal of these legal proceedings...the same tired failing tactics used in the McC camp that failed during the election process. Unless and until the pub party understands their own pressing mandate to CLEAN HOUSE, find some new leadership and perform a platform transplant, they are doomed to lose future elections, especially if they continue to try to rely on Rovian campaign stategies.
Like I said, this is much more miniscule than you are able to imagine despite the mountains of paranoid delusions you have examined on fringe blog sites. Give up this folly and move on...the sooner, the better.
Out of control being the operative words....
said control denied JOhn McCain and republicans by democrats.
The operative phrase "due to no fault of their own"
and then there's the millions of others that are just LAZY
I have no problem helping the disabled or even someone that lost their job and has some hard times...
My problem is those that choose not to better themselves BECAUSE of these handouts.
Dont tell me I deserve to work my ASS OFF to pay for these people to live.
I have a huge heart, and I don't make much money even after working hard, and I choose to give it to the charities of my choice, which is the way it should be, not TAKEN from me to give to people that DONT want to better themselves.

"Fooling people was the key to the job" according to one worker.
You cannot type it word for word, just provide a link.

I remember the debate. And of course this is not word for word, I NEVER said...sm
*because I'm not.* This is a LIE that I got tired of arguing with them about then. Unless you are confusing me with an old poster that went under the moniker Demo.
Sambo thinks last word=best word...

yep. Its Fox. Just googled it. word for word. nm

Not one word. One defitinion of a word.
Cult: 1. A system of religious worship or ritual.
Or how about this:
Cult: A system or community of religious worship and ritual.
Or my personal favorite:
Cult: A self-identified group of people who share a narrowly defined interest or perspective.
Usually, the majority is right!!!!

A majority of 2.
Does it get anymore pathetic?
The majority, as you put it, did not even
know who they were voting for. They heard one thing: CHANGE. Yet, change is not what we are getting. It's politics as usual. O does not know how to lead. He only knows how to follow. He is letting people like Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, and countless others walk all over him. He has no clout. He is a lamb being led to the slaughter, yet he doesn't realize it yet.
If he wants to be a good president, he would stop the antics going on now, but I really don't think he knows how to do it. It's a shame, too, because although I did not vote for him, I had hope.
Check photos of him lately. He's not looking so confident anymore. He is starting to think he got in over his head and unless he takes control of the dems, he will go down in history as a president worse than Jimmy Carter.
JMHO
And this has WHAT to do with the fact that the majority..sm
of jobs paying minimum wage are not held by teenagers looking for extra money to buy ipods.
I'm waiting scarecrow with a brain....
The majority of the military
have always been conservative. However, many military members and veterans are changing their minds after what has taken place in recent years. Watch the results of the election and see which way the military goes and compare that to elections in the past.
Because he will likely have a majority in Congress....
and THAT is how you get things passed.
No, Majority knows O could use those qualities
Remember TACT? DIPLOMACY? 2 things that are important qualities in a leader. Especially if you ever want your country to be taken seriously again. Right now it's a laughing stock.
You still here? -being in the majority makes you

The majority of them truly believe in their mission.
I'm simply not in a position to judge all that stuff. There's far more going on behind the scenes than we know. That's not to give Bush (or any politician, for that matter) a free pass.
The big threat approaching is Israel & Iraq. A war there is inevitable (& soon), and they're a huge ally of ours. The not only deserve our help, but will likely need it.
The Majority of Citizens?
Let's see tomorrow morning.
The moral majority is neither
all that moral, or the majority. Don't assume who the majority is until they cast their vote.
What I meant was when the majority
of people want same sex marriage, the measure will pass. Until then, they will just have to keep putting it to a vote. We the people have the right to decide what we want; majority rules and most don't want same sex marriage. Have a civil union, have the same benefits, etc, but don't call it marriage.
And just how do you propose to know what the majority
This is exactly the kind of post that completely undermines any credibility that you might perceive that you have.
Speak for yourself. You know nothing of anyone else's reasons for voting for our NEW PRESIDENT. You're going to have a pretty miserable 8 years ahead of you unless you stop beating this old, dead horse.
you don't even realize who the majority are
You seem to fail to remember that not everyone in America voted this election.
69,456,897 people voted for the O
234,367,743 did not
I would not say the majority of America voted for him. He didn't even get 1/3 of America's votes.
He won by a majority...unlike the last guy!
So what's your point?
Oh, but the majority of Americans DOES
More than the majority of Americans still support OUR LEADER - thank you very much
Uh uh definitely with the majority of the vote ...
And with the great help of ACORN. In the county that I live in, there was a man who was registered by ACORN, voted 3 times and has been deceased since 1986.
Same to you, my friend!!
Knowing this is late, I hope you had the best day ever! 
OK. You are right. I am not. My friend
is not. Don't know why she would bring that up as we drove by gas stations in St. Pete, but obviously she was having a senior moment, was in an altered mental state or just flat-out lying...that is what it probably was, flat-out lying. I know it is important for the right to be right so I acquiesce. You are right and I am not.

scare me and millions of others with your so-called tolerance of death and disease for our children and youth. We should be hating it. AIDS and mental disease is not pretty.
Majority rules not the minority
as long as someone is given the option not to participate then no one is getting hurt. If they are the only one in the class that does not want to say it then that's life. We can't cower majority traditions and beliefs to make every individual feel included. We'd truly have chaos then, because every one's feelings are different.
but I'm sure the vast majority believes
that life begins at conception, however, I know I'm not going to change your mind, so I'll leave it at that.
So did the majority of Congress, Dem and Repub...
or nothing would have passed. Sheesh. You act like McCain passed every bill all by his lonesome. Let's be real here.
I especially liked the majority of votes to Obama
that was interesting also. Lets get democrats back in the white house for peace and prosperity to ALL - :)
The democrats have had the majority for 2 years...
and they have not turned it around. I repeat...if you want socialism...vote for Obama. It is as simple as that.

no, majority was INTIMIDATED by Hitler.
Majority of 2. Why not organize a new wing

Just shows that majority of USA no longer truly

Impeached by a democratic majority?

Thats just it. Majority of Americans voting in this

You said it oldtimer! Obama won by majority and
It's time for people to back the new president and be patriotic. Stop the same old vitriol.
But apparently the majority of people
think he is all that, else why would he be our next commander in chief. Good try, just does not work.
How many times has majority been wrong?

You are insulting the majority of Americans
I think your mentality (the sore loser, pouting in a corner type) is the one that needs considering...
Pop 8 was vote of MAJORITY of citizens who said NO...
