“Come on Bob, let's not be so hard on these folks. They are getting out and socializing. Some of them are even getting excited enough to constitute exercise. Our seniors need some scripted activities to stay healthy. And besides who goews to these town halls anyway? Seniors. So, if the others start shouting back we will have even more seniors benefiting from the outings.
But please remember everyone, take your meds and drink plenty of water. Prevention is more important than treatment.
And beside, you can't fix stupid.”

“Easy to carp about things you have no idea on how to fix. So you are afraid of the Fed and I am afraid of Goldman Sacs. Wait we won't need to worry about either when no one has any money or assets.
I don't claim to have any answers either. But we can try to be productive rather than whiners.”

“The FED is owned and controlled by the private banks like Goldman Sachs. What is your point? The FED enables the banks to keep their profits while pushing their losses onto the taxpayers. I know plenty about the FED and what it has done to destroy the wealth in this country and cripple the middle/lower class. I can write pages on how I would fix this nonsense!!
If you are afraid of Goldmans....than you should definitely be afraid of the FED!!”

“I work for a large high tech company and have one of the best plans around. No pre-existing conditions, low co-pay and access to the best doctors on the planet. But, others stories exists. My family, my friends and people I have talked to, of these many have compelling stories that show the great need for better access. Whatever that plan looks like.
I am so tired of the conservative attitude of "If they don't have it, it is because they have not worked hard enough for it or don't deserve it because of the color of their skin or who they have sex with.
It is time for some compassion.

“To preserve marriage for those concerned religious people, as KrystynM has said make "Civil Unions" the non religious ceremony and "Marriage" the religious ceremony. And in further preservation of "Marriage", no possibility of divorce.”

“Well honestly, I would be upset! I don't want to be civil unioned! I'm married darnit, and thats that. Thats why gays don't want to be civil unioned, they want the same thing I have. And I don't blame them. Why is it ok (in the eyes of the relgious right) for me and my husband to be married (no kids, no religion, no sacraments made etc) and not John and George or whomever? Bigotry, thats why.”

When they break it, they break it.
But a loan to the auto makers to fund operations for cars no one is going to buy? Do you hear the sound of more money splashing in the water at the bottom of that hole.
Maybe a hybrid plan. Pun intended.”

“Man+Woman marry, make one or more children together.
Man or woman decides (s)he is homosexual and divorces.
Unlike all those politicized kiddie books, children get VERY UPSET over the divorces.
I do not blame Ms Palin for banning such books. They are marketed as non-fiction and from real life observation, I know those particular books are outright lies.
I know this, because I once dated a guy who had divorced from his wife and saw how his children reacted.
So please don't tell ME or ANYONE ELSE it doesn't threaten or harm anybody. It DOES.
Once children come into this world, it's about them. Once they're grown people can divorce and have all the orgies they want. Until then, children should be allotted some form of stability.”
