they added more money to the cost of cigarettes to help pay for that child healthcare thing Obama signed, which I'm not sure will pay for it all, and now they want to encourage people to smoke? So is smoking is paying for child healthcare, why are you encouraging them to quit smoking. Who will pay for the child healthcare then?

Your history is messed up
Look what I found in a book about the Democratic party:
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, championed by the party despite opposition at the time from its Southern wing, has continued to inspire the party's liberal principles.

There are also multiple chapters as well as multiple books written about the metamorphosis of BOTH parties since their inception. See, sometimes books really can be a good thing!!! By the way, do you get your historical information from the chronic-liars-library or something? Cuz it surely seems like it.
Religious Right has already messed up too much in this
and the rest of the misguided 'faithful' to step out of the picture so that our leaders can actually do their jobs, without all the holy rollers tripping them up.
Yeah, they messed it up...(sm)
but I think that was because of no oversight and deregulation.---the hallmark of the Bush administration.
Your facts are totally messed up
You say we take care of our own poor? I can find NO statistics to agree with your statements below.
Lack of care of our country's poor? We have more social programs for the poor than any other nation on earth. Not only do we take care of our own poor, we try to take care of the poor in all over the world as well. I hardly call that immoral. If you think more needs to be done, take some homeless into your house. Open a soup kitchen. Hand out birth control to the third generation welfare families. Give a job, not just a check. Lobby for THAT in Washington. Carry signs for THAT.
In 2001 the poverty rate for minors in the United States was the highest in the industrialized world with 14.8% of minors, 30% of African American minors, living below the poverty treshold. Additionally the standard of living for those in bottom 10% was lower in the US than in any other developed nation, except the United Kingdom which had the lowest standard of living for impoverished children.[6]
One of the most disturbing and extraordinary aspects of life in this very wealthy country is the persistence of hunger. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported that in 2005:
- 35.1 million people lived in households considered to be food insecure.
- Of those 35.1 million, 22.7 million are adults (10.4 percent of all adults) and 12.4 million are children (16.9 percent of all children).
- The number of people in the worst-off households (previously called “food insecure with hunger” and now called “very low food security” households) rose in 2005, from 10.7 to 10.8 million.
Format on above post is messed up.

Sheesh! I messed up my own joke!
I wrote: I said, "Well, let's see: "Algia" means pain. "Ceph" means pain, so pain in the head -- HEADACHE!"
Obviously, "ceph" means HEAD!
I just got out of the hospital (again for pancreatitis), and I believe MY "ceph" was left behind when I was typing my post.
Good thing I don't own a gun or I'd probably shoot myself in the foot. LOL.
Justice Roberts messed it up, Obama knew that. sm
He could not repeat it as Roberts stated it because it was wrong. He correctly paused in order to give Justice Roberts the opportunity to state it correctly so that he (Obama) could repeat the oath correctly.
