Most politicians don't do anything that's not related to their re-election. It would be interesting to see the demographics of his district.

It probably wouldn't hurt to trim down the number of early voting days, but it would be wrong to eliminate them altogether. It should do nothing but increase voter turnout to allow a period of perhaps seven days for voters to cast their ballots. However, the photo ID laws are long overdue. Of...

I'll be the first to agree that the federal and state governments should make it a point to enforce our existing laws - not only for immigration, but also the ones that deal with banking and finance. As Bush's 2d term was winding down, so was the war in Iraq. The Surge had been successful, the...

Obama's experience was nowhere close to Nixon and Bush. Nixon served in the House and Senate before two terms as Eisenhower's VP. Bush was a two-term Governor of one of the largest states in the country, and had executive business experience as well. Obama had nothing close to any of that...

Probably - but don't nominate Rubio - yet. Or Christie - yet. These two need to gain the experience necessary to not only be successful campaigners but to be competent leaders and executives. Right now, IMHO either Romney or Perry could beat Obama and I thing one of them will end up being the...

Agreed - 101%. McCain was the 2d worst possible candidate they could have nominated, and was typical of the moderate Rockefeller Republicans that have never won anything of consequence. So there were a lot of the conservative and GOP voters that stayed at home in disgust and others went to the...

In 2006 the unemployment rate was 4.6%, and the problems we faced were NOTHING like what we have today. Only a prescient few were raising concerns about Fannie and Freddie and the developing housing bubble. The govt. agencies (including the Fed and Congress) dismissed these worries as unfounded...

Another suspicious condition of this deal is the the US Govt is not the primary creditor. The big shot investors are set to get their money back BEFORE the American taxpayer collects, which is almost never the case in these types of situations.

There's no outrage because Obama has been selling the GM bailout as a success story, claiming the govt. load has been repaid. Of course not a peep from the media disputing his claims.

2006 was an entirely different time, with different conditions. It only took four years for the political pendulum to swing the other way, big time. The Senate didn't have as many candidates up for re-election, but they'll be GOP controlled after 2012. The Senate would actually would be even...

Yep - it still works just fine, and no warnings. Of course, even if the link hadn't been highlighted at all you can still copy and paste it into your address field. But only a computer genius would have realized that ;) There must be some mysterious entertainment value in nit-picking through...

The Obama insiders had to know this company was circling the drain - especially in light of the statement from the company's auditors. Those "recurring losses" and "negative cash flows" don't just happen overnight. The way these cases take time to develop, this deal and the "Operation Fast &...

Not true. "The 2010 mid-term election was a stunning rebuke to the Obama Administration and Democrats in Congress. Much of that rebuke was driven by Independents, who comprised 28 percent of the electorate and supported Republican congressional candidates by the overwhelming margin of 56 to...

The Bush Stimulus Package was for $170 Billion. That equals 17% of $1 Trillion. Bush signs stimulus package - Feb. 11, 2008 Personally, I had a hard time agreeing with it then and in hindsight it probably didn't accomplish much except bailing out the banks that had been accepting too much risk...

So people who are citizens of the United States of America, and refer to themselves as "Americans" are unthinklingly arrogant.:confused: OK.............

Bubster - you simply MUST learn to be more specific. After all, there are NORTH Americans, CENTRAL Americans and SOUTH Americans who are not necessarily citizens of the United States of AMERICA.:confused: PLEASE try to be more specific in future posts so as not to confuse the gentle readers in...

This us just another example of how ridiculous it is for the Mainstream Media to claim that Obama is virtually unbeatable, and the GOP will have to offer the perfect candidate to challenge him. How east for them to forget the fact that BHO and the democrat party were humiliated in the mid-term...

I was watching when that exchange took place, and it was nothing like the event described in the article. You can bet that if it had been that way the directors at CNN would have been all over it right then and there. There would have also been a noticable reaction by the participants in the...

Considering the level of corruption and graft in that country, we can just roll our eyes at the percentage of that money which will go to the warlords, poppy farmers and the Taliban itself. It's just another example of the obscenely wasteful spending to which the boy president and his liberal...

That depends on how you define "win". If it means they created a lot of inconveniences in our everyday lives (mostly for air travelers), a lot of additional expenses for national security measures, and increased stress levels for certain segments of our society, then it could be called a victory...
