“My take on this is, no one wants their names to be attached to what was found out when Gitmo was closed. If this man thinks that quitting will clear him from having to bring forth information in the trial, he may be mistaken. I don't blame him. Who in their right mind would want to bring out information that could possible effect the worlds view of the United States.”

GOP Gaining Advantage In 2010

“The only way that I would believe this is to get some background on the one that took this poll (if your source was a poll). Sounds like your information may have been provided to you by a Conservative mind. You see I am not an ignorant Republican who just take what people say and not do the research.”

“Remember my fellow Liberals, Progressives, Democrats. In all of your readings please consider the source. The Democrats can also give their slant on this and we would come out on top. The difference is, we would be telling the truth.”

Student Loans The "New Indentured Servitude": The Atlantic
Commented Oct 12, 2009 at 22:23:00 in Business
“I borrowed $50,000 to cover my tuition from the Federal Student Loan program. I earned a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have to take a state test for my license so that I can go into private practice but after I pass the test I can not get my license until I have completed two years of internship (I can be paid for my services). As an intern I have to pay my supervisor $50 a week for a meeting to discuss cases.... state licensing rules). At the end of two years I can apply to several entities to have my loan forgiven, but only if my 2 years was in an impoverished area (so forget accepting an internship in a location where I can make the big bucks). It will cost me $250 to take the state test for my license. If I do not pass it I have to pay $250 each attempt. My repayments on my loan begin in February 2010 to the tune of approximately $450 per month. I have a full time job (that has nothing to do with Counseling). Right now my salary from my current job is $30,000 a year...........To make a long story short..what the he++ was I thinking? My advise to anyone..before committing yourself to the Federal Government do your homework and determine if it's worth it.”

“Her's my thoughts on the subject of what you said, We all know, I'm assuming you do too, that there is big money to be made in Professional fields. We see that every day, what with execs getting huge salaries and big bonuses, Dr.s driving around in Beemers and playing golf etc. etc, etc. . Sure no one takes into consideration that getting started may be a real wank, but everyone figures that a little poverty to start with will motivate you to get greedy like all the rest. In the meantime nature exists for we humans just as it does for the lower species. The predators prey on the weaker, The carnivores eat the herbivore and since everyone expects that you as a professional stands to make big money, they have to get there "fair" share out of you at some point. it's what we humans consider the give and take of life. How that has made us a better species I do not know, but considering that you're in the Mental health field if you stick with it, sooner or later you'll find out for yourself, one way or another. Good Luck with that, by the way.”

“Under a new law with Federal Student loans you can apply for hardship and have your payments to reduce them to 15% of your income. Look it up, it isn't a terribly complicated process.”

Rush, Steele, Bachamn... tea baggers, deathers - there is a lot of funny material he prevents the show from satirizing. Instead every week hey pound away at President Obama or Bill and Hillary.

“Your comment is ridiculous. They are no more selfish than the hetero couple that wants to have/has children. The children will not have to "endure" any more or less than the children of a hetero couple. If Mary C and her significant other are loving, kind and teach them well, their children will be by far better off than the hetero couple that abuses their own.

“The Neo-Cons claim they have the moral high ground. Do they call this behavior moral? According to the Bible: "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." Leviticus 20:13. Though this is making reference to a man, what goes for the goose goes for the gander.”
