“It is a movement based on rightard stupidity. Therefore it needs no logic and it doesn't have to make sense.”

“I agree, but for the last 30+ years the all out assault on the middle class has continued and for the last 10 was accelerated. It is time the assault was halted but I don't even see is slowing much. It sometimes feels as if the brake line was cut and there is no emergency brake.”

“We need to find a role for Elizabeth Warren and Eliot Spitzer in solving this economic crisis. While I am generally supportive of Obama, his biggest disapointment so far is the business as usual attitude in dealng with the banking industry and Wall Street at the expense of Main St.. It is time they understand that the only entity too big to fail is the middle class!”

Emerald1943 replied on Dec 03, 2009 at 14:59:46

“Co-sign!!! I have always thought that Spitzer was busted because he knew what was going on with the Wall Street crowd. We need him back! I couldn't care less about his personal life. And Elizabeth Warren is brilliant! She would be a great replacement for Geithner!”

“Rush, Palin and Beck, you didn't lose this election, it was stolen from you by the Vast Leftwing Conspiracy and ACORN. You are what is right with the country and along with your comrades in arms such as Michelle Bachman and Sean Hannity, you can remake the Republican Party in your image. So despite the fact that the Republicans lost a house seat that they held since the Civil War, don't give up and don't give in.

Signed:

An Obama supporter.”

“I can understand your outrage. Single payer is what they have in France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Britain and among other countries Cuba. Opting for Single payer right now would be disastrous to Washington. The CEOs of every a every health insurance company will hand deliver a C4 cake to the Capitol. They hate Single payer more than the devil himself.”

“If Aetna would offer that same plan to every American, we would not even be having this debate. that is a great plan and you should be happy with it. If such plans were common, there would be no need for reform. Unfortunately, this is not the case. My employers pays for my insurance but I have to pay $400/mo with a $4800 deductible to include my wife.”

“When all the moderate and semi-tolerable Republicans are gone, all you have left are the moonbats, birthers and wingnuts. It is a shame as there is a strong valid argument for small government, less taxes, balanced budgets, and getting government off the backs of the people. I guess it is a good thing that the Blue Dogs are carrying the water for the true conservatives as the Republican Party has walked off the field.”

“Mining shale oil is disastrous to the environment. However shale gas is a different animal. Much of the shale gas deposits are in the plain states. Also since natural gas is a gas, mining it would not work because it would escape to the atmosphere. There are water issues associated with shale gas production that need to be closely monitored though.”

“Kudlow is a waste of skin. I still remember his prediction on the eve of the Iraq invasion that within 6 months, Iraq would be pumping 10 million barrels of oil per day and that the price of oil will be $10/barrel. I also heard him advocate going to war with countries like Syria and Venezuela because it would be good for the stock market. A couple weeks ago, Kudlow was crying about how unfair Obama was in going after offshore tax havens for the rich.”
