With Obama and the democrats taking over the private sector are you ok with this? Are you ok with Obama trying to push every private company out of business with trying to get European companies to buy American companies?

Are you ok with the government telling the companies what kind of car to build and what kind of car we can drive? Are you ok with Obama telling people what they can make? Do you think this is the American way and what our founding fathers would want?
It is not fair to the people of the United States to have one house have a majority in democrats or republicans to pass votes on issues that will have an impact on the entire country. Each branch should have the exact same number of members from each party. If one party member wanted to vote on an issue from another party then that would be fine, but at least it would be fair and balanced. As it is now there is nothing fair about this process of having no checks and balances like our founding fathers wanted. I have watched C-SPAN with actual debates and things that sound like it would save the American people a lot of money are just thrown out because the other party has majority and is more into the issue than the one party. Take global warming or universal health care. The majority of the republican party does not consider this a valid issue to tax people on, while the democratic party doesn't care if people are taxed on it, but since they are in majority they always win, even with some democrats voting on the side of the republicans.
As it stands now, a policitian/judge in either department of government can comfortably rely on a lifetime of being elected if they are in a district who support what they do. Let's say I am a republican/conservative/libertarian/independant and unfortunately I have a very liberal democrat representative in congress. I may not agree with any of the issues he is voting yes to, but there is nothing I can do. If I happen to be a minority in this district (politically) I might have to live with this same representative being voted in over and over because perhaps the really radical liberals love the fact that he is bringing in pork/ear marks by the billions for them to pursue agendas I find to be corrupt? If there is a term limit of two years for each member, including justices of the supreme court, then I and others might have a chance of getting someone elected who will value my ideas, it would be a cycle of radicals or conservatives, but at least it would be fair. Example is of Murtha (D) who gets more pork/ear marks for his distract than any other in office. He gets billions for his "airport to nowhere," but keeps getting elected because he gets billions to certain contractors or organizations who will keep him elected. This is criminal and should be stopped.
This administration is getting "too big for their britches." The founding fathers created our government to have very little impact on the people and to remain small and out of the private sector. Over time it has become more expanded and is invading our private lives more and more. The ONLY sector that is prospering job-wise is the government. Our president is making more and more departments and then is hiring "czars" to over see the private sectors and different departments. This is not something the American people want or need. The government needs to STOP with all the excess spending and hiring of Russian "czars" (this reeks of communism) and start giving that "stimulus" money that was so important to steal from us to the people and NOT to congress and the senate to do with what they please. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. I do NOT want my taxes paying for special interest programs that I don't agree with and these need to be banned. I DO NOT want my taxes going to funding excess, non-issue projects that can go through regular appropriatoins. I honestly feel what this president has done so far is to actually steal from the American people to pay off political organizations who have supported them and this is a criminal act. I do NOT support what is happening in this administration.
Every poll I have ever seen has health care as the very last (about 2% usually) in importance to the American people. I can honestly say I do not want to pay for an illegal alien to go to the emergency room 10 times a week (know for a fact from working in the healthcare field). Also, there are millions of people who do not believe in global warming and scientific data has backed them up on this. For this reason alone there shouldn't be any money going for this project. When the government starts to tax the air you breathe that is when we need to say this is enough.
By reducing the government and not expanding it billions will be saved each year. This isn't hard to understand and makes sense. The government was not created to be bigger than the private sector and it was not created to overtake the private sector.
Billions of dollars have been given to ACORN and President Obama has even put them in charge of the 2010 census, knowing that they are being investigated in 14 states and have been found guilty of voter fraud, embezzlement, etc. Why are taxpayers being asked to put up their hard earned money for these organizations they would rather see prosecuted? If any organization or special interest group has any type of record of corruption no federal money should be alloted them.
Air Force One was flown for a photo op which cost thousands of dollars, the President uses Air Force One to go from state to state to campaign or for photo opportunities that need to stop or having his favorite pizza maker from Chicago flown into Washington to deliver a pizza, or using jet stream airplanes to go to conventions to speak, etc...(like Al Gore). Besides these vehicles putting so much emissions into the atmosphere, more than 50 cars in a week with one flight and costing the taxpayers $50 thousand dollars an hour to fly in, maybe the White House and those in congress can practice what they preach. Fly coach, ride in those little hybrids that they tout are so important to save the planet when going somewhere. Quit flying to Las Vegas for a convention to raise money when you don't have the money to do so.
I'm sorry, but this administration so far has become the most unethical and corrupt I've seen or read about in history (aside from Nixon). I am embarrassed that my President would hire white collar criminals to serve in his cabinet and allow the Speaker of the House to lie about our national intelligence agency without asking her to step down like he asked a private business CEO to do. I have seen one democrat after another be called out for not paying their taxes or hiding money, lying about money received from certain groups and organizations, etc. You have Chris Dodd putting into the stimulus that big wigs on Wallstreet can get bonuses after the government forced the taxpayers to give them billions and then he lied about it until being caught. You have Barney Frank lying about his role in the economic collapse with Fannie and Freddie. You have Obey getting billions in the stimulus for his son who is in national forestry. This is getting to be too much for the American people.
Unfortunately President Obama has not kept his promise about ear marks/pork and transparency and has allowed thousands upon thousands of these to pass without even knowing what he was signing. He said he would go line by line and yet hasn't done it yet and has spent trillions of our dollars so far without anything to show for it. There has been no stop in people losing their jobs or homes, but by golly that new nature park in Iowa or Idaho is being tended to and that airport of John Murtha's who has more employees than passengers is getting billions, too bad about the poor. I believe that President Obama needs to go back and listen to his campaign promises about transparency, ear marks, lobbyists, etc...because so far he has not kept one single promise and I am really afraid that we are going to have sky high taxes on everything, even though he said he would not raise taxes. Why should I believe him, he's lied about everything else. If the president would just keep his promises then the transparency issue is solved.
California is just about bankrupt. President Obama says we are out of money and special interest groups and steamrolling ahead with new programs that are going to cost trillions is still going on. We know for a fact that President Obama will need at least one trillion for healthcare. Who is going to pay for this if we are broke? Waxman and Markey are trying to push cap and trade on our society so that our companies will move overseas, causing yet more jobs to be lost and less money coming in, who will pay for this? I think that until our economy picks up and THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES are back to work without having a huge tax burden on their shoulders that all interest groups, new programs, etc...need to come to a halt so that we can recover. If the billions upon billions of that money went to actually helping people who are down on their luck and states who are about bankrupt this is better than strapping every taxpayer with these ridiculous government programs that should not be happening anyway.

She is fair game, just as the left says Sarah Palin and her daughter are fair game. Anyone can say anything they want about her and that is just fine because until there is an outcry of bashing republican women then there is no sympathy for Michelle.

She does wear some of the most atrocious outfits doesn't she? hehehehe

I agree and those movie stars and producers in Hollywood need to have a cap on their salaries also, but you won't see that because they are so leftist in the tank for Obama that he will never take away money from his political cronies, only the "bad" people who stole the money that is rightfully for the poor people.
chloe_658 9 months ago
You are absolutely correct about this. I watch C-SPAN, Fox News and compare it to MSNBC, NBC, ABC,etc. So far I have found Fox News reports what I actually see happening on C-SPAN (actual debates in congress and senate)as compared to sometimes, maybe, Chris Matthews on MSNBC might be fair and balanced, but so far it is only Fox News.

I would beg people to please watch C-SPAN to find out what is really going on in Washington. They can't cover those things up because they are usually happening as you watch it. The democrats really change a lot of stuff around to fit their agenda to look good with the mainstream media, who get their orders every morning from Rahm Emanual and the White House staff on what to put out for the day, which is of course anything to put blame on Bush or republicans for everything Obama is doing to ruin our country.

Nope! Sick of the hate parades

I don't think I even understand what your saying
chloe_658 9 months ago
I agree. I work as a medical transciptionist and type up 100s of reports from different physicians and there are times the physicians have actually fallen asleep on the phone while dictating. You listen to them snore for a good amount of time and then they wake up and don't know where they left off, so some of their reports don't make sense. I don't understand why physicians are made to work such long hours, especially since they are physically taking care of patients and doing surgical procedures, even if it is only to stitch a laceration up.

Good luck with that agenda. That would be wonderful if people didn't kill, but your not going to get it.
chloe_658 9 months ago
your obviously referring to the terrorists. Terrorists are not human, they are animals and deserve no rights at all since they take the rights away from others. Quit being a turncoat and stick up for your own countrymen.
chloe_658 9 months ago
I agree. I am sick to my stomache that my tax money is going to illegal and corrupt organization or towards ideas I completely disagree with, i.e. global warming, cap and trade, universal healthcare. This should be criminal of the government giving MY money to something I don't want to support.
chloe_658 9 months ago
This makes a lot of sense. Why is the government trying to tell our children what to know. There are history books for that. Whatever happened to the good old days of history, math, english and science? Now the government wants foreign languages, social studies, geometry, etc. Democrats are trying to take over education and are putting propaganda into the text books which needs to be stopped. Give us the one room school house again.

How about their parents whooping their behinds if they skip school or drop out. This worked in my day. I was scared to death of skipping school for fear that my dad would take the belt to my behind...and there is not one darned thing wrong with punishing your child with a belt on the behind or a slap on the cheek if they sass. This is how the best generations grew up and were respectful of others. You can see just how respectful kids of today are, this is because of stupid special interest groups from the left who want to cry "abuse" to anything a parent does with their own child. I don't agree with abuse at all, but there is a big difference between punishing for a wrondoing and abusing for the fun of it.

This is a wonderful idea and I thought Obama campaigned on this? Why hasn't he done what he said he would do by going through line by line and eliminating earmarks/pork?

We should be able to see these bills and examine them for one week at least without it being posted after midnight and voted on within 24 hours. This was a disgrace and I am disgusted with the democrats for shoving this porkulous bill down our throats without ANY of them reading it. I watched C-SPAN a week or so ago and the republicans and democrats in congress were debating on Murtha's "airport to nowhere." The democrat (I can't remember who it was) was just LIVID that anyone would question the money going for that EXTREMELY important airport. I had to laugh because no one believes this except the democrats. It receives billions each year,has more employees than passengers and only about three flights go out a week and all to Washington. This is a disgraceful abuse of taxpayers money.

This is very important. For some reason the courts will not let us see Obama's birth certificate and THAT should be a right for all to see if he is president. The democrats are trying to hide something with this move and I believe it is because he wasn't born here, but they know he has the gift of gab. This is criminal in itself and should be investigated.

I say STOP with the witch hunt! I for one am a thumbs down on this one. Will people just give it up already. This administration is bankrupting us, our children and our grandchildren, but all liberals are interested in is a witch hunt on Bush and Cheney. GEEESHHHH, enough is enough.
chloe_658 9 months ago
You are a true idiot in every sense of the word. Yes, I will attack YOU personally online because what you are spewing is hateful and you should be ashamed of yourself. You think the RNC is worse than terrorist groups? You are sick and unpatriotic and need to crawl back in your hold in disgrace!
chloe_658 9 months ago
I do agree with this idea I know that in the last election John McCain wanted to go with this idea and Obama said he would, but in the usual Obama style he backed out so he could get millions from corrupt people and organizations. I also think that if you tell the American people you will and go back on it that you should lose all campaign contributions.
chloe_658 9 months ago
The National Anthem is a time honored historical song and should not be messed with. I am proud of our anthem.
chloe_658 9 months ago
Just make sure that during this witch hunt they take down the democrats who were involved or there will be an uprising. This is disgusting that this administration is even allowing this to go on. Get over democrats and move on, there are more important things to worry about, such as corruption in congress and senate by the democrats
chloe_658 9 months ago
Since the media is not trustworthy these days because they only work for promoting the radical left they cannot be used.

I think this is a good idea, but the government should NOT be allowed to pick these people or organizations. The state governors themselves should pick two or four people, two democrat and two republicans or how ever many are needed, just make sure it is equal in party members.

Reasoning for this is I know Obama would pick an extremely corrupt special interest group such as ACORN or ACLU or some left wing radical people to do this and that would just be criminal.
chloe_658 9 months ago
I'm sorry, but the only community organizers I've ever heard of is ACORN and from I've read and seen on news channels about it they are a corrupt socialist organization who are being investigated in 14 states and have employees who have been prosecuted in many sates over voter fraud. I do not want any of my money going to community organizations if that is what they consist of.
chloe_658 9 months ago
Wonderful and truthful observation and fact. We all know the president is run by the radical left, i.e. Pelosi, Gettlefinge of the UAW, Sorryos of moveon.org, ACORN, NOW, ACLU, EPA, Gore, etc. It is time for OUR president to start acting on his own and for the entire United States of America and not just the liberal state of America. He is really bending over to the special interest groups who are running our country into the ground.

If Obama would just start acting as our leader and not running around campaigning for this democrat or that special project then those 70% of the people who did not vote for him might change their minds. He needs to be set free from these radical groups.

Some of the best minds of our country have come from those who went to one room school houses and didn't have health insurance. These two subjects are not as important as keeping someone in their home or saving them from bankruptcy.
