“Great points...”

“Yeah, that's funny ... I like it a lot !!!!”

“Oh people relax ... it's all about the fun. I'm an American trying to learn German and I can tell you; the laughter that fell from my German girl friend (born and raised in Northern Germany - and yes, it makes a huge difference what part of Germany) was too funny for even me not to laugh at myself.

I think Germans have a tongue thing going when they're speaking their native language - I could listen all day [ I spend a lot of time on the History channel as you may be able to tell]. Anyway, lets smile...ma­kes the recession a little easier to endure ;)”

“LOL, good one!”

“What did the Repugs in was the Internet; with access to information, people were no longer tied to the MSM for information. People were/are able to check and cross check issues, able to inform themselves. Once reasonable people are presented with the facts and are free from the mind and perception control of editorial boards we were/are able to move along.

If the left want to continue to win elections, they must master the sources of information, they must put forward articulate people able to communicate. It's able information, who has it , who controls it. The old ways the Repugs won elections had to do with controlling the media; but they can't control the internet.

That should be taken to heart by both parties; you can lie to the people but we are now able to find the truth on our own.”

“I'm not sure that's universally true; depending on who you are, your sex, race, sexual preferences, etc... The 'Leave it to Beaver' era and all it represents only conjures up in my mind subjection and narrow mindedness.

That time period in American was only good for one group of Americans; White American males; everybody else to the back of the bus.

No thank you!!!”

“Yep, I think it's a good thing for the repugs to keep talking...­after so many wild and crazy stories, most people wake up to the foolishness and those that don't; well, doesn't matter...y­ou can't reach them with reason anyway. There is nothing a sane person to can say that would mean anything to them.

We all know that a certain percentage of Americans are CRAZY! Let them be CRAZY, we can't stop that, in fact, that's what America is about. Here, in this country, you're free to be as crazy as you like and when your craziness reaches its tipping point, people tune out.

I say; KEEP'EM TALKING!!!!”

“LOL, I think Timmy (or was that Timny) will understand those two words. I'm sure he received plenty pats on the back when he posted those words over on Faust News...”

“and "why, some of my best friends are black.' an oldie but goodie "Oh, I'm part black too" ... but he's really on his knees pleading "come back, oh god, please sponsors COME BACK!!!!!"”

“Look ma ... I can see him from my kitchen window, those pesky Russians !!! Of course while eating tacos, yum, his red hair reminds me of red taco sauce...mm­mm, red taco sauce (said with in your best Homer Simpson voice).”

“Nope, most likely those same uninsured illegals will be coughing, sneezing, and wheezing over their food as they serve them and picking up their kids at day care. They forget just how connected we are. They should be careful, they may get what they wish for; then lets see as disease spreads because we failed to address the health issues that assuredly will arise.”

“You kidding right...on­e word: Geithner”

“Why would we want anybody to die simply because they are here illegally. I sometimes wonder about the heart of people. Some, seem to be arguing that illegal's should not receiving health care, care that they pay for out of their pocket...t­hat makes no sense! PoliticalAmazon, you're right, this is a red herring, we shouldn't let them un-focus us with this one.

You're absolutely correct; we want everybody to have access, the person serving your steak, that guy cleaning the inside of your car and touching your steering wheel, that guy coughing next to you in that elevator..­.I think you get the point.”

“Totally agree ... talking to the people that support him would be like talking to a light bulb; yeah, the light is on, but there is surely nobody home!! Dems, stop trying to reach his constituents, rally the sane....th­ese misfits will only hear the voice of their master...”

“Oh, nice try, after 8 years of the Bush administration, you have nothing to say that anyone that can read would want to listen to. Oh, we hear ourselves very well and we're sure that we'll never fall for another republican spewing anything about caring about America or the American people. We've seen all we want and need to see - keep it over there, cause it won't work over here anymore!!!!”

“Absolutely right, this is nothing more than a hand out to the insurance industry, to hell with the sick. I'm betting many rightwingers will quote the bible: "you'll always have the poor among you" as justification to do nothing but the same thing we've done. The problem is; THEY WON'T SAY IT STRAIGHT OUT. They'd rather lie and convince us that it's alright to go to sleep now, we shouldn't hurt the little insurance industry by making them compete.

What the insurance industry is really afraid of is true capitalism; when they actually have to compete, lower cost, claw back some of the 1.2 million dollar bathroom decorating budget.

Let the public option live; let it bring capitalism to a country that CLAIMS to love capitalism; let the insurance companies really compete for our business. If some fail, that's ok; THAT'S THE GLORY OF CAPITALISM, OTHERS WILL RISE!!!”

“Ha, you're so right ... humm, guess it's ok to tear America to pieces as long as the person or persons doing the tearing look like us [wink, wink]. I'm thinkin' this is the same group quick to say: America...­.love it or leave it! I guess they've chosen to leave - BYE!”

“Don't let the door knob hit you ...”

“Actually, only a portion of America, you know, the portion wearing tinfoil hats and waiting for Obama and gang to grab up their granny and haul her before the "PANEL." I'd say its Ok...if a portion of America is willing to stand up and identify themselves, I say that's a good thing; that way we know to walk away and not make eye contact.”

“Ok, that's funny and strangely enough, I'm running under my desk right now.”

“I'm not; I knew something was up, it always seemed so convenient and feed right into his fear cry; "who's going to save you from the big bad wolf at the door." Sometimes you just gotta believe your gut and your eyes.”

“Are your parents on welfare or public aid? I think the key word in your comment is "sounding" - strange, how it doesn't "sound" like welfare or public aid when you're calling the police of fire department for help...str­ange, how your sensibilities aren't disturbed by that bit of welfare.

Since the government doesn't have money of its own; people using the public option are using what they have paid for [more or less like social security, but don't use that term; it has the word "social" SOUNDS like SOCIAL-ISM to me]. But, then I bet you think unemployment benefits is welfare too...humm­.

Well, you enjoy being gouged by the insurance companies, they love people like you. Oh, when you're sick and their 'panels' deem you high risk and drop you or you lose your job and your insurance; go ask the insurance industry what you should do.

Maybe one of those execs sitting around their big conference table, driving their many cars, or sitting in their 1.2 million dollar bathroom [that you paid for, but can't use] will have mercy on you and pay your bill [NOT].

Enjoy!!!”

“But wait; didn't you get the memo from Wall Street and the Insurance company - All State. You know, the memo that says "we've learn so much after 2008; we learned that Jenga at home is better then a nice fat juicy steak at those fancy boring restaurants and how nice it is to have friends over and crowed around that 3" TV in the freakin' garage [if you still have one]"

I just love how they're trying to convince us that we're better off now, now that WE'VE learned the wonderful lesson of less!

Strange how they've NOT cut back; they still eating at those restaurants and watch their 500" TV in their 1.2 million dollar bathrooms. And fighting with everything they've got to keep the status-quo!

Whew, I feel so much better learning how to do without and I'm glad the insurance industry and Wall Street feel it's 'morning in America' again. I got the memo, I got it alright - GAG !!!”

“So what; look, "None so blind as those who will not see" ... these people don't want to see, move on...kissi­ng too much rightwing-a$$ leaves you with that quizzy feeling and breath smelling funny.

This is just what they want, us spinning our wheels and losing focus. They know American's have short attention spans and are nervous about disagreement.

The last 8 years of Bush has proven; do what you want and let history be your judge alone. It's not about those of us alive today, they're looking for their place in history and the powers that control them are looking to maintain the status-quo. From their point of view, its a win-win solution and what are the people really going to do about it after its done?!?!?!”

“Huh, they had the chance when they started. They choose this path, sure, they received encouragement; but, I'm doubting the USB banker happened to be driving pass their company, just dropping in for tea and biscuits when the subject of a successful TAX EVASION plan just popped up as the biscuit crumbs fell from the bankers lips.

They need to pay what they owe just like the person owing $1000 would be hounded to hell by the IRS if they didn't pay. These people benefited from the infrastructure that you and I are paying for at threat of loss of everything if we rub the IRS the wrong way.

Why should they get a break; hell, give me a break from paying taxes for a year, I've been a good boy. But you're saying they should be given a break "amnesty" because they chose to steal from all of us by not paying what they owe and then trying to conceal it and costing us more trying to track them down!

No, I'm sorry, I don't understand your point....h­ow is justice served?”
