Jenny Sanford Filing For Divorce From South Carolina Governor

“I get the feeling that she was holding off until the legislature decided on impeachment. Now that he's in the clear, she can leave knowing she did more than he deserved.”

"The Politician": John Edwards Book By Andrew Young Details Revealed
Commented Dec 10, 2009 at 13:09:34 in Books
“I was a fan of Edwards until the Vice Presidential debates. I was surprised to find that he knew less about the issues of the day than I had learned just by watching the news and reading blogs. How hard should it have been to make Cheney look bad? Ever since then, he's seemed to be a phoney to me.”
Roses replied on Dec 10, 2009 at 13:25:33
“He didn't seem to be ignorant of the issues. You could read his position statements and speeches and see that he was not.
He did seem a little scared in that debate.
He seemed to be cowed by the office of the V.P. and Cheney's deprecating speaking style to Edwards. He also didn't have his usual fawning admirers around him and that seemed to flummox him.
All in all, his claim of being a fighting advocate for progressive causes seemed to dim for me then.”

“Yes, based on his reputation as a lawyer I thought he would expose Cheney as the Machiavellian he is, but I feel Cheney really got the best of him after Cheney stated that Halliburton had not broken any laws or something to that effect. Edwards did not even pin him down on his support for the racist South African regime, after Cheney accused the ANC of being communist. Who cares what label the ANC was given, supporting apartheid was inexcusable.”

“I am positive that if my uncle had a mansion and a few million in the bank, she would be eager to marry him.
She would use the old excuse that it would make her feel secure in case something happened to him, so that way their children are protected too.
However, since he doesn't have that wealth, she's not saying any of that stuff, mainly because she is richer than him and she doesn't want him to have any ownership rights to her house and money.”

“When you read the article you realize that this is yet another headline that does not match the story. Aetna is not dropping anyone to increase profits. They are putting their prices up, and an effect of that is that some people will no longer be able to afford their policies. I'm sure this happens every year. That's one of the reasons for people losing their healthcare.”

“Wringing profit, squeezing benefits: America has the wrong business model for health insurance and healthcare.
This example is the expected result of for-profit, managed healthcare.

“What is the difference. Squeeze you out because you can't afford it is the same as being dropped. I have a friend with pre existing condition that is in her late 50's. She pays $1400 per month and still has a high deductable that has to be met every year. She is so scared to stop paying that she has almost lost everything. That is how they get rid of people is by raising the premiums multiple times a year. They don't tell you they won't cover you, just raise it until you can no longer pay.”

“That argument does not hold up. What about brother and sister, father and daughter? If marriage should be allowed for any loving persons, why not multiple wives or husbands?
I'm for gay marriage, but just not sure how to argue for it without making an argument for other types of relationships also.”

“Marriage equality for gays and lesbians would have not impact on the laws prohibiting incest.
Done of your dire predictions have come to pass in any of the states or countries in which gays and lesbians have marriage equality.
You could just as easily say "Why stop at allowing one man and one woman to marry?"”

“How about marriage is a legal bond between two unrelated, unmarried, consenting adults? It's not that hard. No dogs, no cats, no brothers marrying sisters.”

“How about this?
Marriage = legal bond between two consenting, unrelated, unmarried adults. There. It's not that hard - people who bring up this argument about "but, but gays and lesbians marrying just opens the door to sons and daughters marrying cats and dogs" is just silly.”

That would be incest ... it may have been just fine & dandy for the brothers & sisters of Adam & Eve ... but this is a good example why we need SEPARATION of CHURCH and STATE.
"Why not multiple wives or husbands?"
Problem with that scenerio is that ONLY ONE of the wives or husbands would qualify for "government-run socialist" spousal benefits. And there are enough BATTLES of the SEXES between ONE-man & ONE-woman marriages to last a lifetime!
Now ... would you like to ask why a priest (I mean adult) can't marry a child? ...”

“Lets start with his pushing for an invasion of Iraq while Bin Ladin was still on the run and not captured. He also insisted that the iraq invastion be done on the cheap even after he was told that it would take around 300,000 troops to properly man the occupation.
Rumsfeld's one talent was in browbeating the generals into only reqeusting what they knew Rummy would agree to so that he could claim that he was only doing what the generals asked.
So Rummy may be right that there were no requests for more troops in Afghanistan while he was SOD. But thats only because he had already gotten rid of anyone who would dare ask for more troops.”

“What gets me is that the same people who think Obama does not want to win if he does not add more troops were okay with Bush and Cheney trying to fight that war with 10,000 to 30,000 troops during their administration. It was Obama who doubled the number of troops earlier this year, yet somehow, he's not serious.”

“I'm with DrPhil on this one even if for a different reason. I don't think we have to rebuild the country before we leave since it was never a country with modern infratstructer to begin with (except for the major cities). But I fear that if we leave now, the Talaban will retake Kabul (after another long civil war) and we will be right back where we were in 2001 with Al-Qaida safe to execute more attacks world wide.
You may point out that Al-Qaida has been pretty safe in Pakistan for the last eight years and you'd be right, but at some point either Pakistan or the US has to clear that area out also.”

“Indeed.
Let's see, the national debt was around 5 or 6 trillion (and on its way down) when Bush took office and is around 10 trillion now. I know facts have a liberal bias, but that's about double. Since Obama took office, the debt has increased by a few percent. Now it may very well double again under Obama's watch, but even if McCain had won, there is not much he could have done to change that. At least when Obama wants to increase health coverage, he has a plan to pay for it. That's more than the Repubs did when they created the prescription drug benifit for medicare.”
