Amendments " bribes" have been made to bills for years this is the way business is done it's is and has been the nornmal way of doing business, why are you concerned now or have you always been concerned?

a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc.

I do not blindly follow anyone and take personal offence at being included in any cult, I was suspended for 28 days for less then your personal attack on me

So its a bribe if a legal representative of the people looks for compensation for his/her state but it's not a bribe if lobbyist buy a representatives vote?

It's a bribe when it is spending done in someone elses district. Its just your share of the federal pie when its done in yours.

Guess the only thing that has changed under President Obama's Administration is that they are more honest then previous administrations about reporting the numbers of americans unemployed

He who sows the winds,.........

Oh I see

I see millions of jobs saved,are you blind,Millions and millions would be unemployed had the banking industry gone bust and the major Car manufacturers gone out of business.

And MyFOXPhoenix reported that the sermon, which has drawn widespread attention, led to death threats against the pastor.

Basically, you are telling me what I am saying, instead of asking for clarification, and you are wrong.

Nowhere in anything I've posted have I said that Obama will never have to accept responsibility for 'detrimental contributions'.

My point--which I thought was rather obvious--is that those who disparage Obama are hypocrites if they are the same people who excused Bush by saying, 'He didn't have the correct information.' 'His lie was inadvertent.'

Saying that Obama lied about the numbers that the states sent to him, while at the same time excusing Bush for the WMD boner is hypocritical.

Got it?

As long as lies are spread about Obama, as long as you continue to post flawed disinformation as truth, as long as everything Obama inherited is blamed on Obama, we are going to continue to stink up the room with the rotting corpse of George W. Bush, and we will continue to fling his foul defecation back onto your side of the yard.

From and outsiders perspective I would say Obama is far better than Bush, especially the job he is doing repairing the reasons why most of the world hates America.

He calculates that illegal immigrants contributed $428 billion dollars to the nation's $13.6 trillion gross domestic product in 2006. That number assumes illegal immigrants are 30% less productive than other workers.

"If anything we need more immigrants coming into the country, not less, especially with the baby boomers retiring," he said.

Someone once told me that when the president is out of town his polls usually stabilize or go up. This was supposed to be due to him not being in DC and/or being in the American eye so much.

Quite frankly I think its refreshing to see him out of that 50 to 55% range he has been stuck in for months on end

the rebate checks during the Bush administration where expressly for the purpose of economic stimulus

Sure. It's a lot better than last year.

Which indicators are you referencing?

Welcome back.

BTW do you know what President Bush wanted to do about the 12,000,000 illegal immigrants? I wonder how 12,000,000 jobs would look in our economy about now

* 30-40% of victims are abused by a family member.
* Another 50% are abused by someone outside of the family whom they know and trust.
* Approximately 40% are abused by older or larger children whom they know.
* Therefore, only 10% are abused by strangers.

. . . and made us a debtor country to China. . . and ruined the economy. .

The last time the GOP was this bad in CNN's polling was in December 1998, in the heat of the impeachment battles, when they were at 31%-57%.

liars should be removed

Pretty important words there.

P.S. those sneaky Republicans are trying to shove in an anti-abortion amendment into the bill right before the vote.

As originally written, the measure would have required insurers to separate public and private money, so that only private funds could be used for elective abortions. Abortion opponents were concerned that such a policy would effectively expand the government's role in improving access to abortion, and as many as 40 Democrats threatened to withhold support from the health care bill unless changes were made.

I wonder how much health care that could pay for?

If I remember correctly you said you were an independant? Hvw you now changed parties?

Good then that should give lots of people plenty of time to read it and eliminate some of that crying about having the bill jammed down their throats

What republican party? They are booting out their own party members to pull in supposedly independants

I think you will eventually get the message when the health care bill passes

You may not like it, but the people DID speak. And they don't agree with you.

Maybe because a huge majority of Americans voted for this president

This story just shows how evil those Socialist Obama's are! How dare they hand out Tax Payer funds in the form of FREE candy! Take a stand against Universal Halloween Care! I wonder how many of those kids who got FREE candy were here illegally? Did they check their green cards??? I'll bet they didn't! This is Communism amuck!

All the secession talk is just forfeiting the game when your team is down a few points.

but it is really Michelle Obama who has reached out to the military families.

No it doesnt make sense to a country that has an ideology based on "I got mine, you get yours". And the vast majority of those that have that mentality never seem to understand that luck and where they come from often plays a hand in the fact that they have theirs.....

7. Worried about 47 million uninsured

Ready4 you mean like since 2000 when we got an illegitimate moron was given our highest office,

and now where we can't get anything that would actually benefit the country because of a vocal group of half-wits who believe the GOP actually cares about anything other then inflating their pockets?

If those objecting really didn't want OBAMA to get the award, why would they then vote for him to get it?

Now you are very upset, I see. Well, I recommend that you take a break, think it over, and come back when you are ready to engage in discussion without being controlled by counterproductive emotions. Maybe play a couple of Barry Manilow songs, and start feeling the love.

So, your position is that singing songs and having fun will ruin a child for life, but being exposed to a group of angry protestors is A-OK?

Oh, Man! You don't get it!

Either you just tried to evade the hit that he delivered to your post, and went onto a willing defensive posture avoiding to respond to his direct hit by playing dumb, or you just got knocked out because you didn't see it coming, and honestly replied after you stood up somewhat confused. You see, he said: "This thing happened in what, the last 2-3 days? And you have heard all about it and you know no kids were traumatized?." I am sure that if you could have replied to him you would have provided your source.

If you can show me an example of liberals protesting outside a kindergarten I would love to see it.

This thing happened in what, the last 2-3 days? And you have heard all about it and you know no kids were traumatized?

Great post!

That is just like a one, two knock-out punch.

These people are morons.

A few isolated incidents is a far cry from an organized attempt to brainwash kids. As has already been pointed out, the same thing was done during Bush' presidency, but you don't seem to have a problem with that.

Seems like you have a problem with any speed he proceeds at if he is deliberate you call him slow if he seems to move to quickly you call him to fast, you seem to have a consistency problem or is it that you just dislike President Obama and the democratic party so much that you can't see the forest for the trees.

Your not one of those independants that has just recently turned into a far right republican are you?
