“I'm thinking that he's thinking he is the elected President of the United States. Who do you think you are, Lou? Why is it you think anything you say is relevant?”

“That argument might have worked if this were the only man whose sentence was commuted by Huckabee that re-offended.

"Two members of the state parole board said Huckabee pressured them to show DuMond mercy, while Huckabee publicly questioned whether DuMond was guilty of the rape of a teenage girl. During the presidential primaries, a conservative group aired television commercials in South Carolina featuring the mother of Carol Sue Shields, whom DuMond killed in 2000 after his release."

He wasn't!

“They don't care -- as long as they've got theirs, who cares about anyone else? That's their idea of "C hr istianity!"

I wonder who J e sus would deny coverage? The poor he helped in the Bible, or the wealthy, selfish people that he railed against?”

“The CBO actually said that about the republican bill that they offered. They said no such thing about the bill currently in the senate!”

“They want Cheney to say what he's saying. They just don't want America to be reminded that if Cheney/Bus­h/Rumsfeld­/republica­ns had done their job, we wouldn't be in Afghanistan right now!

Is there anything that Bush/Cheney and the republicans did that actually worked for our country in the last 8 years? Is there one thing they didn't $crew up?

Come to think of it, is there one thing that republicans have passed or introduced in the last 30 years that benefited the people over corporations or the wealthy?

I can't think of one thing! I can't think of one accomplishment from Bush/Cheney that helped our country!”

“I'm with you -- I feel so disappointed in all of the democrats! They told us they needed 60 to get the change for the American people. We gave they 60 and the white house and we've seen nothing that benefits the people over the corporations and the military complex. If this is what we were going to get, how is it any different than what we have under republicans? At least they don't make it a secret thatthey stand for the corporations and the wealthy.

I expected more of President Obama and the democrats. If the democrats are betting on winning in 2010 and 2012 because republicans are in such a sorry shape, they'd better think again! Liberal voters don't follow blindly like republicans! They'll sit it out and wait for another crop of real progressives to come up! The blue dogs won't be re-elected, and it's looking like Obama is a one term president!

What ashame!”

“Republican states and republican districts tend to have the most poverty, and they continue to hold onto the belief that they will someday be millionaires, so they vote for the people who protect the millionaires! Meanwhile, more and more people lose their houses, jobs, lives!

It's really no coincidence that the states in the deep south that are republican red have the worst poverty, highest uninsured, most families living in poverty, lowest income and and worst education. Yet they continue to blame their poverty on the democrats! What ashame that they would be helped by voting out republicans, yet they follow them blindly and believe whatever rhetoric they are told, while they wait for that trickle down!”

“Now why would you expect a populist uprising from the people of America unless you knew you've been stealing from them and doing the absolutely wrong thing every step of the way?

Why would anyone be angry if they hadn't been busy fleecing America for 8 years?”

“This won't increase competition between little banks and big banks -- it will do away with little banks, which is what Geitner and the Fed want! They are corporatist plain and simple. They don't want competition. They always use that excuse whenever the big corporations or banks are going to benefit!”

“The fact of the matter is that very little has changed since President Obama took office. He changed nothing that affects these people -- and he's continuing many of Bush's policies. These people are going bezerk because of the color of his skin and nothing more.

We all put up with Bush for 8 years -- I didn't vote for him, but he was the president, whether I liked it or not. They can't give a democrat the same. Deal with the fact that you lost! Deal with the fact that this president is not really changing that much, the blue dogs and republicans have fought him on any meaningful change. He's even escalating the war in Afghanistan, which is something republicans usually love, since most of them seem to be warmongers!

Grow up! If republicans knew how to run anything, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in right now and both wars would have been won by now!”

“I just know that if "the gays" are allowed to marry, I'll have to divorce my husband and our marriage will be ruined! The commercials told me so! And so did Fox. I'm not sure how it will affect my marriage, because they won't be living with me, but I just know that "the gays" will destroy my marriage!”

“Can you say Willie Horton?

Another one bites the dust! God doesn't seem to be working to get the GOP back into the whitehouse. What have republicans done to make God so angry at them?”

“Ignorance isn't always bliss! We're all suffering for their ignorance! And they still insist that Bush did a good job and that republicans know how to fix the mess they made!”

“If 9/11 had happened under Clinton's watch, I have no doubt that Clinton would have taken OBL out! But apparently 9/11 wasn't a good enough reason for Bush/Cheney to take him out!

There's no comparison!”

“Don't think for one minute that the Bushes and Cheneys didn't make money off the Iraq war. Bush is an oil man, and Cheney had strong ties to Haliburton!”

“Iraq had zero to do with Al Qaeda -- and there were no Al Qaeda in Iraq until Bush invaded!”

“You might want to try to use the typical republican he-did-it-first mentality here, but the worst terrorist attack on US soil did not happen under Clinton's watch, did it?”

“You do realize that it was Bush administration that requested that study and that Kathleen Sebelius has stated that your mammograms should be between you and your doctor, right?”

“Are you freakin' kidding me? 5 million more people living in poverty were created during the 8 years of Bush, making it necessary for those 5 million people to depend on programs like food stamps in order to live! Foreclosures were up 68% in 2006 -- 2006, WHICH IS THE YEAR THAT Bush/Cheney and the republicans were in charge!

But on the other hand, the number of billionaire went from 186 (holding $816 billion in combined wealth) to 415 in 2008 (when Bush/Cheney were in charge) holding 3.5 trillion dollars of combined wealth.

Republicans create more poverty and create the need for public assistance, then complain about the number of people on public assistance!”

“I haven't paid full price for anything in years! I shop clearance -- and not just any clearance, the deep clearance where it's almost free! I went out on Black Friday and bought only the deals that are meant to get you into the store and help you spend more on other sale items. But I never buy anything but what I went to the store for, and never spend more than what is advertised. We only buy what we can pay cash for and refuse to pay another dime in interest to the banks!

We bought all practical gifts that my children would have to buy for themselves, being newly married and soon to be college graduates! We also researched and tried to buy what we could that was made in America by an American! Not just the American based corporations that ship things in from overseas, but the ones made here in America!

I don't think I'm the shopper their ads are aimed at, but I'm the one who benefits from the prices that are below cost!”

“The big corporations would never go for it. They would lobby for soda, fruit drinks and processed foods to be included in the warehouse. It would be futile and a waste of time.”

“What is it that republicans did to fix the crisis when they had the majority and the white house for 6 years, then? If it truly was the fault of the democrat's policies, why didn't the republicans fix it when they had the chance? Seems to me that it got worse when they were in charge, so it looks like your argument fails on all levels!”

“I have a simple solution to controlling what people eat! Regulate the food industry to only sell healthy food. That way you don't have to worry about anyone buying soda, candy, high fructose corn syrup, processed foods, etc. After all, we're all paying the price for anyone who eats junk food. This way, it wouldn't be discriminating against the poor!

My guess if it affects the profits of big business, they'd never go for it! They'd rather find a way to just make the poor feel more humiliated!”

“Before Reaganomics and the trickle down, we had a strong middle class here in America. We were THE world power and other nations borrowed from us! We used to be the richest country in the world, and the American people all got a piece of the pie! A mother actually had the choice to stay home with her child, which is hardly the case today. Many times, husbands and wives have two jobs each to stay afloat, and the corporations and wealthy are the only people thriving!”

“Do you know how little you have to earn to qualify for food stamps? It's hardly enough to live on!”
