When my wife and I bought our home eleven years ago, we had the option to go for a teaser rate or an adjustable mortgage rate. We opted to bite the bullet, get a fixed rate and pay a higher monthly payment for the next 30 years (11 years on, it seems small!). We paid a bit more, but we made what we thought was a sound economic choice.

Now the President is bailing out those individuals who chose for the cheaper option and now find themselves in financial crisis. Who do you think will ultimately will pay for this $350 billion shortfall? Not the mortgage companies. It will be the American taxpayer. In other words, people like my wife and I will end up paying for the greedy and short-sighted financial stupidity of others.

I don't recall getting a bailout for the large loss on the value of our investments when the stock market crashed in 2000. Why should we pay for this?

When they said general betrayus?
It wasn't something they made up.
This came from HEROES OF THE RED WHITE AND BLUE.
Those for whom you stick the yellow stickers.
Maybe you are mad they repeated what should not have been repeated?

He holds a "news" conference about religion, why didn't he say he's for it? He didn't mention anything about Mormon practices.

This group of four seem bent on fighting the rest of humanity in an effort to dominate our world at home and all other humans based on their superstituious beliefs, fantasy like fears, general phobias and elitist doctrines. It is amazing to me that so many of the military veterans do not believe in the America concept of Democracy, the Universal concept of the human being or the decency codes of average and ordinary people. This group of four fanatics actual seem to think that only they posses the insight and wisdom to know both which way the wind is blowing and whose butt should be kissed for continued surplus's of the peoples money and other benefits.
You are sucking up to Bush because he feeds your need for belonging while acting like individuals.
I think that your strident loyality to a group cause which has pirate like goals and mouse like intellengence is not only bankrupt at birth but a refuge of scoundrels and parasites.
Go back to shadows where you and Bush jr belong. Go!

Obviously it won't be Conservatives that complain about the use of the word Christmas in schools or advertisements, or anywhere else. I was just curious how many liberals on here were offended by the word Christmas.

"The liberal politicians are addicted to getting more power and money."

Someone just posted that sentence, and it fascinates me.

Is it only the liberal politicians who behave this way? Or is this someone's way of spinning what is actually a BIPARTISAN issue to try to make their own party look more angelic?

Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture, don't have the judgment to be President, or the credibility to be elected President.

No one can doubt or should doubt that we are safer -- and Iraq is better -- because Saddam Hussein is now behind bars."

The way things are moving, India seems all set to become a colony of Western powers (esp. USA) endangering our self-reliance and self-worth. Major political parties have today sold the nation out to foreign investors, NRI's (I don't consider them Indians). This is what we could have learnt from China.

1. One-child rule after 1960's: This would have kept our population balanced, creative and productive. "Democracy" ensured we face an imminent ecological disaster with 1.5 bn people by 2050. China's population is stabilizing now.
2. National language: Hindi along with regional languages should have been promoted for Science and Tech (like in China). Without national language, we face a lack of identity that you experience as an Indian abroad.
3. Space/Nuclear/Missiles: Indian scientists made many indigenous developments up to the 1980' s (just like China) and now, pure science research is in bad shape across the country.

A nation without self-respect won't last the way we see.

Mitt Romney gave a speech on faith and government. He said we have freedom because of religion.

I was wondering what specific teachings of religion lead to freedom, here on Earth, because I don't see it.

A lot of Democrats have said that the surge is working but most haven't changed their position on the war. However, candidates like Sen. Clinton, Sen Edwards or Gov. Richardson basically disapprove of the war because of their political agenda.

So would candidates like these people change their position on the war if most of the general public supported the war?

Or will he struggle on trying to convince America that Iran is out to get us.
The ad portrays the Iran-Contra hostage crisis that happened years ago under the Carter administration and which has been falsely credited to Reagan for freeing the hostages. He goes on and on about the threat of an attack from Iran and he will keep America safe.
