If we get the AMA together with the TSA, maybe they can just offer a
FREE complete physical with any flight. :-)”

“Perpetual Fear is great for job security.

“People,

We gave billions in tax dollars to the AGENCIES who were supposed to protect this nation.
Now after another TRILLION or so in funding, we have more gizmos in place, but all of it
is worthless against one determined nut case who wants to make a name for him/herself.

FEAR=FUNDING and the failure of those systems in place only means they have an excuse
for MORE FUNDING.

Drunks on the road kill more people every year than all the Al Qaeda wannabees in the world.”

“I think the media has a resonsibility to carefully differentiate between the core Al Qaeda group
and spin off, wannabe Al Qaeda "inspired" sub factions or individuals "inspired by Al Qaeda"

I doubt the core group had ever even heard of these individuals.”

“If we had captured or killed the original members of Al Qaeda when we had the chance,
there wouldn't be this continuation of AQ Wannabes, trying to draw attention to themsleves.

It would have been OVER, with these criminals either dead or spending the rest of their lives in prison.

Now, thanks to the greed and incompetence of the Bush administration, we have an entire generation
of potential lunatic reprisals to worry about.”

“He's great. Great but. But America is a centrist country and Democrats are being led off the cliff by the hard left. Not that it matters though since political suicide has already happened with the stunningly bad health care bill. If a person spends all their time on leftwing blogs and news sites they just don't quite see what a tiny minority they are in since the discourse is always amongst themselves, punctuated by screaming and yelling at others with whom they disagree. Obama won because of Bush revulsion and the Independents and those folks have said "Goodbye Barak."”

“Until recently, we may have never even known about what happened without CSPAN coverage.

All we ever got before was the sanitized, official AP newswire release and that was it.

The Old Guard, is still coming to grips with the power of a viral youtube video and so many
people actually watching them as they spin and double speak their way to lucrative campaign contributions and outside business interests.

What they fear the most, is knowing We The People can take them out in the primaries, before
all those campaign contributions materialize into another unchallenged term in office.

Corporations use " Trade Organizations" to launder their bribe money.
The more we watch, the more we read, the more we learn and the more
power that gives us all.”

“Everyone has learned quite a bit watching the way all this has gone down.

We can't blame anyone but ourselves for not being more involved in vetting
the people we vote into power from the local level on up.

Maybe we'll stop listening to the party line and start looking for candidates who
meet OUR expectations.

I really don't care which side of this you are on, it is plain as can be that this Congress

“Lots of these investors purchased pre-construction hoping to flip multiple units or
to hold out until 2010 and sell for maximum gain before the Bush capitol gains tax breaks were supposed to end.

I fear we wil see a purge of investor owned property this spring on those plans even
if the tax breaks remain in place.

Those who can not recoup their original pre construction values will walk away
and write off the losses.”

“I look at this as a snow covered shoe in the door.

With all that is wrong with this Bill, it has opened many many eyes

we allow corporate shills to represent the average citizen again.

I'm so sick of politicians claiming to speak for The American People
when it is clear that the people do not matter.

Corporate profits are all that matter to these people.”

“We've been sold out to the highest bidders.

This plan should have been broken down into new regulations mandating
medical care for all with options to upgrade with private plans.

Drug companies should also be limited to no more than 10% profit

Every representative who accepted bribe money should be immediately

“Medicare For All would have at least provided basic care for everyone, while
still allowing private companies to compete for upgraded policies.

2.5 percent of adjusted income would be quite reasonable.

I think as time goes on, Congress will feel the pressure to
allow more options, but for now, at least the abuses of the industry
have been greatly limited

I'm not happy with the results, but it's good that all of us have witnessed
enough to know who needs to be replaced in their primaries.”
