“It may be wise to read the article instead of unleashing a litany of talking points.”

“Intelligence: I don't need you or Ms. Warren to tell me why I'm going under. It is mainly because of democrat tax and spending. I'd make it if it weren't for high taxes (especially local ones which go to union thugs who vote democrat so they can tax me higher and guarantee their useless jobs).

It is democrats who continue to allow immigrants into this country. They reduce our wages. Democrats have thus far refused to stop the bleeding in manufacturing and outsourcing. Why? Because they HATE America, American workers, and the poor. They only pretend otherwise.”

“Damn, this is like living in the Matrix. This article is truly extraordinary. We have no press other than this on the topic? This is extremely disturbing, especially for a country that was hyped to so many international corporations. I'm awestruck, Dubai is imposing modern day slavery on people from every walk of life. Government sponsored extortion - these individuals have to buy their freedom back.

Reprehensible!!! I say we lob a few bunker busters on the mirage and let them know what we're working with.”

“Brilliantly played? People always wake up when they're broke. Good times not rolling any more huh? Guess what, America was played for eight years. Thats why you mustn't totally hate George Bush's gangster, but study how it was executed. The entire country is up in arms over $165 million in bonus money...why...because they are broke!!! The Bushies knew that in order to steal large sums of money, the country must be doing well...so they gave you your mortgages and your credit cards and let credit flow untapped. Americans really thought they were wealthy. I had broke friends getting mortgages and getting refi's to buy cars...comical. Got all of America high on over-spending. How else could they disappear billions of dollars in Iraq without a peep or care from America. Did you read that right...BILLIONS...not one...but many BILLIONS. Now everyone is up in arms over $165 million...why...because they are broke.

Be vigilant and speak out all the time, not just in the worst of times.”

“Your opinions may be legitimate in regards to your wife's union. But let's not blanket all unions negatively. I myself was a union man (IBEW) in the past. My healthcare was so great, doctors were baffled when I pulled out two different insurance cards and told them to pick one, any one. No primary care physician was required, I could go directly to a specialist without a referral. At the time my co-pay was $2.

When I was in management at a different company, the technicians I supervised had a horrible union. Because I came from a good union, I could see just how poorly their union performed. On many occasions I fought with my own bosses in their behalf. Their union was nonexistent, but they collected their dues religiously. If my cheap ex-boss had it his way, technician raises would have been few and far between. So please, don't preach that rhetoric that ALL unions aren't necessary. Lets just agree that ALL of them aren't beneficial to the workers.”

“I to like Dylan Ra.tigan to a degree. I also feel Dylan asks the longest questions of any TV personality I have ever come across. His questions are so long I wish someone would yell "OB.JEC.TION, asked and answered!"

San.telli on the other hand lo.ses MAN points. He stood up on live TV in the Chicago Merc and call homeowners "LOS..ERS." Then when he gets called out by the White House, he deems this as a threat? I guess he saw Gro.vel & W.hine Tour wasn't getting much traction when he appeared on the Today show and Matt Lauer called him out also. Santelli craw.led back un.der his rock back into obscurity.”

“Romney was key in any scenario. His religion is what killed the deal for the conservatives. They shot themselves in the foot by pandering to the zealots. The Palin pick was the equivalent of a crack high, effects of it went from sugar to s***t in a heartbeat.

McCain and Palin definitely aren't the GOP's best and brightest. Read my lips, Bobby Jindal 2012.”

“Palin/McCain has nowhere to go now but down. He can run away from President Bush, but he can't run away from the Republican Party. The Republicans will be regarded from now on as "the party that wrecked America." Over the weeks ahead, as carnage in the economy and the financial markets ramps up, it will become increasingly clear. It is important that this meme be spread through the internet. I urge all commentators to adopt and spread the idea that the Republicans are "the party that wrecked America." It will work because it is the truth.”

“It seems quite obvious the dynamics have already altered the landscape of McCains campaign. Does it not look as though the Republicans have accepted the loss and are no longer campaigning for McCain 2008, but for Palin 2012. By any account based on public perception, the ticket has been flipped. McCain could be removed from the ticket and replaced with a refrigerator, and the numbers would still look the same. Presently, the ticket is toxic. Palin is his respirator, he flatlines without her. It must feel totally disheartening to know an unknown, intellectually-challenged, ultra-conservative novice, could outflank the so-called military man. She's no longer looking to McCain, she's looking past him.

He picked Palin to be his attack dog, but he is realizing the America that was manipulated into Bush, became extremely astute, and educated now that their pocketbooks and wallets are severely affected. Right now they'd vote for anyone other than an angry, disillusioned, power hungry old man with no vision, no ideas, and fresh out of political capital. Judging by the pollls, America is screaming for change, and leadership from Obama, the so-called elitist, inexperienced, terrorist. MaCain is asking America, "who is Obama?", what's ironic is, he should be asking this of himself.

McCain it's time to fall on your sword. You have dishonored America, and should be discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.”

“"You have dishonored America, and should be discharged for conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman."

It's a well know fact that McCain was a poor student who only got into Annapolis because his father was a 4 star Admiral. Had McCain's father been the local mechanic and by some fluke McCain had been accepted, because of his continued poor grades and angry outburst he would have booted out in his freshman year. Like Dubya, McCain road to fame on his daddy's coattails.”

“Very astute post -- it's clear the extreme right-wing wackos are grooming Sarah Sockpuppet for a run in 2012. But her views and her rhetoric are way, WAAAAAAY out of the mainstream -- she almost sounds like a politician from the 1950s. She'd need to become muck more moderate to have a shot at the presidency -- but then she'd alienate the party's wacko base. This is the dilemma the Republican Party created by allowing the far-right loonies to take over.”
