    I am a baby boomer. "We" all thought "" could hold hands and make a perfect world while not trusting anyone over 30. OOPS! I am over 60. We got ourselves into a big mess and are expecting the younger ones "we" never taught about the simple life to take care of "us" (I not a "we'. I have a always been realistic. Not!). peace and love

    They all bother me which is why I'm voting for Obama again in 2012 because we can't afford someone like Romney in the White House with his 20th Century thinking when we have 21st Century problems.

    He had his chance and blew it! Now he has been campaigning for the last 8 months! He needs to go!

    This one should be tough for the supporters of the current regime to swallow and it comes from ABC NEWS. In the U.S.A. Bridges and Roads are Being Built by Chinese Firms in CA- $7.2 Billion, AK $190 Million, and NY $400 Million. Not included in this video is I-635 in Texas is being rebuilt with underground tolls from I-35 to I-45 and is contracted to a CHINESE firm for over $5 billion.

    Our tax dollars are at work - for CHINA !!!

    The tea party are not baggers, they are regular working Americans that think that government has gotten way to big! The government was suppose to work for the people over the year we now work for them and this is not right!

    read this; FACTS ARE FACTS! If you vote for him...you are only doing it because of party and not for the good of America!!!

    Subject: REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007

    The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.
    The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

    For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
    January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
    The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
    The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
    The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

    Remember that day...
    January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
    The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

    BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
    THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!

    (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy). Barney blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and the sky did fall!)

    And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA

    And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
    OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!
    So when someone tries to blame Bush...
    REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"

    Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.

    Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
    Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

    In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

    For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.

    And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

    If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets.That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

    If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.

    In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for,
    And then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

    His a@@ is out of office come November, people are wiser today then they were 4 years ago!!!

    Hogwash! They're jingoists masquerading as patriots who didn't come out of the woodwork until our first black President took office. More than half of them are older white people that are 60+. The economy was already going downhill when the Democrats took office. The Republicans haven't offered any solutions to fix the economy, but instead they've tried to repeal Obamacare and even filibustered many jobs bills Obama has introduced. That's obstruction in my book.

The law contains a few mechanisms to curb premiums, but it also requires that many insurance providers make their benefits more generous, which will raise their cost.

    Most people don't agree with me but ,,, I think this country is over run with Illegals and they live off of our tax dollar. You can SAY they don't, but I have seen it a million times. If we put a stop to supporting them, and stopped hiring them our welfare system would not HAVE the strain it does and lots of jobs would open up for Americans. Some say they do the jobs Americans don't want but that is bull crap. Fiesta foods here in Yakima Washington had got busted because they hired Illegals. They only got caught because they could not speak a word of English and the customers called INS. I PICKED FRUIT FOR years to earn extra money and now can't get hired because I want the right wage. I know lots of people who would work harvest if given the chance. So don't say its jobs we don't want. Wrong.

    I agree and in fact someone wrote this up and I saved it, I think you might want to copy and save it to so when the libs come knocking you down you have it :)
    Listed below are several of the arguments that have been used by misguided people to try and justify illegal immigration. Next to each is the reason why that argument has no merit.

    1) They are an economic necessity - Not true. The idea that a bunch of desperately poor, uneducated, unskilled, non-English speaking foreigners are an economic necessity is ludicrous. In fact, when you compare cost vs. benefit, it is obvious that they are not only NOT a necessity, they are not even an asset. Rather, they are a liability and a huge one at that.

    2) They do work Americans won’t do - Not true. They do work Americans won’t do for $7 an hour (especially if Americans can collect welfare and unemployment instead). Of course, if you got rid of the illegals, the jobs wouldn’t pay $7 an hour. The people who wanted the work done would have to pay a wage that was attractive enough to get Americans to do the work. And it might even be enough to get Americans off the unemployment and welfare dole and back into the taxpaying workforce!

And it might even be enough to get Americans off the unemployment and welfare dole and back into the taxpaying workforce!

    3) We benefit from all that “cheap” labor - This is nonsense. The only people who benefit from the cheap labor are the unscrupulous people who hire illegal immigrants. Taxpayers are left holding the bag. Ultimately, it is they who must pay to support all the Americans who have been put out of work by illegals and must also provide billions of dollars in services and benefits to the illegals themselves.

    4) They are just trying to make better lives - Aren’t we all? The difference is that most of us understand that we DO NOT have a right to acquire by illegal means those things that we find difficult to acquire by legal means. And we certainly don’t have the right to do it in a foreign country.

    5) It is impossible to round up and deport the illegals - We don’t have to. All we have to do is remove the incentives that brought them here in the first place. No jobs. No housing. No taxpayer financed services or benefits (including education). Once we remove the incentives that brought them here, they will leave on their own.

    6) Immigration control is racist / xenophobic - This is just another play of the race card by people who have no other cards to play. Immigration control is the world-wide status quo. There is nothing racist about it. Furthermore, the USA welcomes LEGAL immigrants of all races and ethnicities from all over the world who have gone through the legal immigration process. This is not just a bad argument, it is an attempt to create racial hatred and division.

    7) We are a nation of immigrants - This is the “BIG LIE”. The vast majority of Americans are native-born. I am not an immigrant. Nor were my parents. Nor were my grandparents. We are a nation that has, historically, allowed and even encouraged LEGAL immigration. And we continue to do so. The issue at hand is illegal immigration, which has nothing to do with legal immigration.

    8) They are people. We must treat them humanely - Yes & yes. But lets not pretend like they are victims who were dragged here kicking and screaming against their will. Nothing could be further from the truth. They came of their own free will and for their own benefit and they broke the law to do it. People should not be rewarded for breaking laws and committing crimes. Sending them home is the right thing to do. There is nothing “draconian” or “mean-spirited” about it.

    9) It is wrong to break up families- Yes. Unfortunately, families are often broken up by criminal activity. If you don’t believe it, just drop by any prison or jail on visiting day. We can’t keep families together if some family members choose to participate in criminal activity.

    10) They work & contribute to our society - So do I. And if I break the law and commit crimes, I can expect to pay a penalty of some kind. Anything from a small fine to the death penalty. I do not receive a reward. Why should we treat foreign criminals better than our own citizens?

    is moral, ethical, has a history of creating jobs, and although not the most

    takes to continue America's leadership role in the free world...... not for the

The situation is simple: The near entirety of the US government is corrupt and run by political Bribe-takers bought and paid for by people who have amassed the most wealth overall in this country (Top 1% of the US Population). These politicians, now solely representing their funders and not the voters turn around and pass legislation that gives the Super Rich here every advantage possible, including free money (Quantitative Easing/Bailouts), lower taxes and zero accountability for their actions. In order to prevent revolts from the increased burden to the unrepresented in this country, the Super Rich have set up a bogus political party to siphon off and redirect the anger of the masses (The Republicans) and an equally bogus party who acts as weak and ineffectual as possible in the face of "strong republican pressure" all while pretending to care about the masses (The Democrats).

The super rich and those they pay for care not one bit about jobs or the welfare of the country they grew from. They merely care about having as many digits as possible for their bank statement balance. And if that means the middle/working class will eventually need to vanish, then so be it. The entire system is broken.

    I will not disagree with you that the entire system is broken, because it is.

    Your summary is quite correct, however, I'd add just one thing, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. In the case fo the current alliance I mentioned above it is the FIRST time such a powerful alliance has emerged in modern history, which really has the chance to create a truely one party Fascist Theocracy.

    IF Romney is elected in November, it will be the end of our Democratic process forever. There will be NO turning back the changes that the Republicans will make over the next 4 years.

    A warning too, I suggest you look up the REX 84 FEMA Program and then investigate all the Executive Orders surrounding it. The revelation will scare the poo out of you.
