Did you know Bush as of July 17, 2007 has made opposing the war in Iraq a criminal act?

Can we let this administration do this?

Call your local state government offices!
Your Congressmen.
Your Senators.
Your Representatives.
Your Governor.
E-mail--mail--whatever!

This is outrageous!!

Do you think that Republicans never learned to share?

Is that why they freak out when they think somebody might actually be able to see a doctor when they need to?

Is that why so many of the Republicans I know take full advantage of Social Security and Medicare benefits (or have parents who do), but don't want others to have them?

They want the government to spend money on entitlement programs for rich corporations, like us paying 50% of R & D costs for pharma companies, but yet when it comes to making sure all Americans have healthcare, they balk? Come ON man.

What's the deal with that?????

Why are you willing to pay insurance premiums but not the same or less for Univesal Health care?

It could be taken out of your paycheck like your insurance premiums already are.

Once the paperwork is eliminated in the cost of overhead because of all of the different insurance companies the cost to every person would be lower.

And EVERY citizen would be covered!

So if the cost is the same or lower per person already paying for coverage...... and the quality remains or perhaps gets better....what's the problem?

A streamlined system would be more efficient and better for everyone......except maybe the then unnecessary health insurance companies!!

Let me get this straight: Bush gets to lie, but I'm "emboldening the enemy" if I point out that he lies?

Isn't it a misstatement to say the soldiers in Iraq are "defending our freedoms" in America?

The war in Iraq has nothing to do with our freedoms.
Saddam and Iraq had no ties to Al Qaeda, no connection to 9/11, had no WMD, and posed no threat to the USA.

So why should Repuglicans like Mitt Romney get away with saying the soldiers who are sacrificing their lives for Bush's lie-based quagmire are "defending our freedoms"?

Why can't people who are for massive social spending?

Give more of THEIR money in taxes
1) Invite the "indigent" to live with them
2) Pay health insurance premiums for those who "can't" afford it
3) Buy extra groceries to feed the hungry
4) Start a company and employee the unskilled, unmotivated, uneducated, unemployeed at excessively high wages

In other world, put your own stinking money where your mouth is if you believe in it so much

Are these about right?

Closed minded - when anyone disagrees with a liberal.
Compromise - when you do what a liberal wants.
Freedom - when liberals get their way.
Unbiased - when it leans left.

I say we send the politicians to Iraq to fight the war, its theirs to fight after all isnt it?

We go into Iraq on March 2003 on the premise that Saddam's regime is supporting Al-Qaeda and that he possesses WMDs, despite 2001 and 2002 reports from the Bush administration that only Afghanistan is a necessary target. Well I guess the fact that Saddam's attempt to kill Bush's daddy prompted him to conjure up a pot of boiling bs so he could finish the job in Iraq. Congress voted hands in, but I'm sure not one truly looked into the reports, and only 1 congressman had a child in the military so no loss right, well not for the boys on the hill at least. Funny thing is 15 of the hijackers were Saudi, 7% of the American economy is set on Arabian investments, and on September 13 Bush allowed over 100 Saudis, some of the bin Laden family, board private jets back to Saudi Arabia without a single interrogation. Why doesn't Bush grow balls, pull his hand out the Arabian wallet, and force the Saudi family to cut down on their own terrorist problems? So why are we in Iraq again?

Does anyone believe this mans claim of being a Federal Law Enforcement Officer?

From: john_r_and_brush

Subject: Re: is that supposed to be your idea of a "threat"? LOL
Message: "feel threatened"? LMAO By you?!!! The ONLY way you could present a "threat" to me is if I laughed too hard at the ignorance you post and choked on a pretzel!
I've BEEN a Federal Law Enforcement Officer since 1998, NOTHING you squawk at me can change this FACT and it cracks me up watching you yellowbellies get your panties all wadded up because I serve while all you do is flap your gums!
I don't need to "disrespect" you, you do that to yourself when you go online jabbering about how much you "support" a war that you will NEVER have the courage to put your life on the line and go FIGHT in!
"If you act the way you do on YA in your day-to-day life, you best watch your back, cause someone’s going to get you. "

So I hear there are reports that the Surge is showing some success in Iraq?

If it is, why does the new joints chief of staff say that no amount of US troops or surges, can win the war in Iraq. He said that it has to be a politial solution & with the Iraqi Sunnis resigning from the Iraq Govt. there will never be a political solution. Get it?!?! Just more & more of a civil war that the US military can't win.
