I am independent on my poitical views. Why would the Dems (or anyone) try to pass a bill that would have US citizens buy from a foreign country, life-saving drugs, that were manufactured here, at a cheaper price. What is stopping us from buying the drugs from the pharmacy? Maybe there should be companies that are funded to buy and distribute the drugs to the citizens. It seems to me that would help a small percentage of the unemployed and help fuel small businesses, at the same time when businesses are functioning it could be an avenue in the future for a pressure point on the drug companies. Not enabling them to price the drugs in this country at such a high price. Just a thought!

I talk to people everyday that is upset with our nation's policies on illegal immigration. We elected a bunch of officials to do a job that they are not doing effectively. It's almost like we forgot the first three words in the constitution are " we the people". It is us that govern this nation. So I am just curious with all this frustration why aren't we doing anything about it. Why are we waiting for officials to do something about this. Why are we not using our freedoms to assemble and protest while we share our freedoms with the illegal immigrants. What are you doing to prevent this national crisis?

US generals before & during the Iraq war have all said that in order to win Bush needs to have AT LEAST 300,000 US troops in Iraq.

The maximum amount of US troops in Iraq under Bush has been no more than about 160,000.

So unless for some reason you didn't make it past the 3rd grade, if you can't see the futility of US efforts in Iraq, then you are a bigger fool than Bush.

Are we better off with afforable pricing since Ronald Reagan removed government control of gasoline pricing? Who is it favoring and why don't they allow Natural Gas and Electric companies raise prices as they see fit?

Are you at all upset that your party had not delieved on its campaign promises to end the Iraq war???? They were elected on an anti-war platform and now won't even vote to defund the war. Are you mad that your own party lied to you??? The last time I asked this question I got nothing but angry responses and no one addressed any of these questions in a intelligent mannor.

Does it concern you that the "average" American citizen knows very little about geography, current affairs, and many of the issues that have brought us to war? Does it concern you that these same individual's are allowed to vote in general elections? Do you think the video was biased and does not represent the "average" American? Overall what does this say about our educational system? What does it say about how information is filtered to the average American and how this information is processed?

Just a few examples regarding the guy who says "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin.":

He & the Tipster live in a 10,000 square foot mansion with 20 rooms & 8 bathrooms in Nashville, TN. (Wonder what THAT light bill looks like!)

That is, when he isn't hanging for a few days in Washington, DC in his 4,000 square foot home in Arlington, VA (just a small place for quick trips to the seat of power, don'tcha know).

In neither home does he take advantage of using electricity produced by wind power. Utility companies in both cities offer this option at an extra cost of 2-3 cents per kilowatt hour. In addition to being a fraud, maybe Algae the Green Guy is cheap, too?

Ol' Al owns quite a large chunk of stock in Occidental Petroleum - an oil company that has been mired for years in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Talk about inconvenient truths!!!

The economy is not doing well.

The stock market isn't booming. Dow Jones Average uses 30 stocks (out of thousands) to project the market. It just so happens those 30 stocks are doing well. The rest of the market is not doing well. If you want a more accurate barometer, then check out the S&P 500.

It's irritating to see one parrot after another declare the stock market is booming, when in fact, it's not even close.

The USD is at an all-time low against the Euro and it's at a 15 year low against the British Pound.

The housing market is stagnant at best. Home owners are foreclosing at a record pace. Mortgage companies are going under.

The top economic forecasters say we're going to experience a recession this year.

Gas is climbing at an alarming rate. Consumer confidence drops when gas prices climb, which means less consumer spending, which means the economy is going to slow down.

Try to research things before you declare them as fact.

When it comes to healthcare, I am nervous that its quality may decline for me. But I'm scared to death that it will provide the excuse for government to micromanage my life even more than the income tax code does. You can already see it in the debates about motorcycle helmets. The idiocy question aside, the big argument says "since society is paying your medical bills, it gets to dictate what risks you can take.
They get to control both your body, and the amount and quality of care that you receive. They will use treatment, or the threat of witholding treatment, the same way they use entitlements, subsidies and regulations today. Every aspect of your life will be politicized, and the last vestiges of human liberty, snuffed out.

O'Reilly from Fox News, doesn't like illegal aliens, and doesn't believe that they should be given any special rights, or a free pass as a citizen of U.S. Now, he has labeled Democrats as Liberals, and goes on to tell us, Dems, that we are do gooders who want to give the illegals all rights and citizenship, how does this makes sense? Corporations, and businesses using illegal aliens to replace U.S. citizens and save themselves a bundle of money, are aligned with the Republican party. Why would a Democrat, who is losing his or her job, losing healthcare, and losing money, due to the influx of illegal aliens, support giving them citizenship and rights??? O'Reilly can't have his cake and eat it too. If he is against illegals in the U.S. he is going to have to face it that he, just like us Democrats, don't fit the label that he is stamping us with. Talk about twisting the facts to fit your argument? Does anyone eles have a problem with being labeled, cause it doesn't fit what you are?

Regardless of what political party you back. Who here is in agreement that this country is headed in the wrong direction and things need to change in Congress and in the White House? I'm not looking for insults on parties or the president, so don't post them.
