“Star athletes in great shape die of heart attacks. There could have been an underlying condition she didn't know about. People in "excellent shape" die all the time. I understand the need for an autopsey, and I also understand the family initially being opposed to it. It's another trauma for an already grieving family. It's a sad situation!”

“You don't have to be a teabagger to be opposed to the way the congress and this administration have twisted the healthcare bill into the mess it is. Why is it, that people resort to name calling anytime you dare question what the present administration is trying to do. My plan is to vote third party. I did it in the election for President when Obama voted for FISA, there was no way I would vote for anyone who supported that. That's my plan, what's yours besides calling names.”

“I agree, her poor parents. She was a good actress, and seemed like a happy person, it's just sad.”

“It would be nice to think that someone like Ingraham is rare, that the hate she has for others just because they don't believe the way she does, was unique only to her. Sadly, I read the same kind of thing here all the time. People need to get over just hating someone because of the political party they belong to or believe in. I can't believe someone like O'Reilly is the voice of reason in this event, it certainly shows how large the divide is.”

“I agree completely, but at least praying to cure cancer isn't a completely shallow, selfish thing to do. Do these people really believe God cares whether they win a football game or not. If they do, shame on them!”

“this is one of the most self centered, shallow things I have ever seen. All the horrible suffering in the world, and these people pray to win a football game, or thank god when they make a touchdown. Yeah, that's what Jesus would do, right!”

“I agree, I'm not a fan, but some movies are done for a year before they are released. She could have hand any number of reasons for asking. I don't think being cruel was one of them.”

“There are people here, that are just like the Bush's 30%. They will support the President no matter what he does. Scary!”

“I voted third party also, the hope and change slogan just didn't ring true. His actions never matched his words. To all those people who say I wasted my vote, I'm still proud of my vote, looks like a lot of people here can't say the same thing.”

“You're kidding right, they already asked Holder what would happen if there was a verdict of innocent, he replied, well we certainly wouldn't let them go. So if the decision to hold them has been made, innocent or guilty, what the heck good does this show trial do. A nation of laws....LOL!”

“obviously, you could do with a bit of manners yourself.”

“I agree completely, and the open minded Christians will be the first to attack how anyone else thinks”

“Why should she talk about religion, hers or anyone elses if she doesn't choose to. I don't talk about it with people. I'm don't believe in organized religion, I don't like all the judgement that people have when they talk about it, just read the judgemental posts here. Good for her!”

“I'm getting ready to go out in the frozen tundra now, Minnesota is a wonderful place to live. Al who represents the whole state, makes up for Backman, who represents a portion of the state.”

“we get it, Bush was wrong, I said he was wrong for years, I think he belongs in jail. We are talking about what President Obama is doing. We are talking about out of control deficits under Obama. Bush isn't the president anymore. We need to work on the problems we have now. We need to cut spending!”

“Why are government workers getting a pay increase. Everyone I know in the private sector has had their wages frozen. We've had a pay freeze at my company for three years, my husband's company has had one for a year. I don't know anyone that's getting a raise, I don't think government workers should be treated worse than the average tax payer, but they certainly shouldn't be getting benefits that the people who pay their wages aren't. We need a third party, one that represents us, not special interests. President Obama shouldn't sign this bill, or he should go through it line by line, and throw this kind of thing out.”

“I am using my own mind, and have been saying the President Obama sounds like George Bush, Arianna is right on! I guess on either side, there will aways be that percentage that support their President no matter what he does.”

“You know there is nothing more condescending than someone calling you dear. If you don't want to have a rational, polite conversaton, why don't you attend a tea party instead. You sound like you would fit right in, dear......”

“Hope to see you there, I find it helpful!”

“As much as I want Bush in jail, next to Cheney's cell, you can't blame him for President Obama escalating the war, and not keeping numerous promises. You can't blame Bush for President Obama doing nothing about main street and unemployment but a lot about Wall Street and big business. You can't blame Bush for this joke of a health care bill. Those are all President Obama's, he owns them.”

“You do know that a lot of people use ghost writers.”

“Good grief, it was a comedy routine. I'm just not going to vote for her is she runs, I don't take all this that personally. You say she was getting even, what were Conan and Shatner doing when they were mocking her. I don't get people here, they rightfully talk about all the hate on the right, by spewing as much hate as they can to do it. What's the word I'm looking for, oh yeah hypocritical!”

“lol, good point”

“Can you believe it, wouldn't it be nice to get paid overtime to get dressed for work. They'd have to pay me an hour in the morning when I get ready, and for about 30 seconds when I get home and put my sweats and t-shirt on. I'm usually always defending the police here, but this is beyond ridiculous. Getting dressed and undressed for work, should be on your own time. Cities all over the country are struggling to meet their financial responsibilities, and to have to pay out money for this idiotic claim, must mean that something else will have to be cut.”

“Hi
I actually was diagnosed years ago by a chiropractor, he sent me to a rheumatologist, and finally I had an answer. I'm not on disability, I do have a lot of pain, especially in my rib cage and hip. I agree that it's nice to finally have people (doctors) acknowledge that you have a real illness. I've been lucky, I have a great family doctor, that I've seen for 15 years. He lets me try new things, and really listens to my concerns. I work full time, and sometimes I get frustrated, because I look fine, and people expect you to do things that you really aren't able to do. I don't like for people to think I'm whining at work, but sometimes, when my supervisor asks me to put away something heavy or do something totally unrelated to my job (I'm an accountant) I get frustrated. I told her once, I couldn't lift something, and she told me to suck it up, and do it. Yeah that didn't go over so well. I like a website called patients like me, they talk a lot about Fibro, and that have a chat area, so you can get advice, and ideas from people there. It's always good to talk with people who understand what you are going through, and it seems like a good place. I hope to see you there sometime, I highly recommend it.”
