"A Flood of Govt Stimulus Money Lifted..."

Posted By Steve Thornton

The Republicans believe in Sarah Palin so that shows you right away what level of reality they're dealing with.

Tyrrany part 3

Posted By Steve Thornton

Two points; first,I cannot see how in any way the Republicans were the epitome of virtue on this subject, they let lobbyists write their bills for them when they ran things. Secondly, when all the Republicans say no to health care even before the bills come up and lie, lie, lie about health care with death panels and pulling the plug on granny and that old, tired label of socialism, all because they're in the pocket of the private insurers who have spent $200 million to bring down reform, in my opinion they forfeit any right they have to be included in on the process. Let them squeal.

To those who whine about health care reform, I hope you don't lose your job and with it, your health care. I hope you don't come down with cancer and lose your health care because of the insurers arbitrary limits, I hope you don't have a serious illness and find that once you're cured, you can't get any other health care because of a pre-existing condition clause. Those are the real death panels, the private insurers who don't add one ounce of care to health and they are killing people every day.

How about them Chargers

Posted By Steve Thornton

Now they can rest their injured players for three weeks by keeping them out of the Washington game; in the past they always found a way to lose the big game. It's different this year. As a lifetime Charger fan, I think its their year this time.

How about them Chargers

Posted By Steve Thornton

I think the Colts must be worried about the Chargers. I swear to God, somewhere in the Chargers headquarters, there's a safe and inside the safe there's a little book titled "How to beat Peyton Manning." I think they've beaten him four out of the past five meetings and the way things are going, it will soon be five out of six!

Hopefully on her way out...

While we're calling for people to resign, why doesn't Sen Jim DeMint leave? He's the one who's holding up the nomination of the TSA chief because he's afraid they'll allow TSA workers to unionize. That's right, risking the nation's security to score brownie points with his base.

What's worse, someone who says something stupid, or someone who does something stupid? And while I'm on the subject of politicizing terrorism, how about Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra, who's asking for political donations for his governor's race based on this incident. Let's be bipartisan in our criticism.

Finally, someone with some honesty

"Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems.

Carbon dioxide levels are increasing the acidification of the oceans which in turn is going to adversely affect the entire marine ecosystem. If you don't believe me, just Google it and you can spend the rest of the day reading and dreading about what's going to happen. Other than Fox News, everyone else realizes that dumping this crap in the air or the oceans is a pretty bad idea.

Napolitano: Terrorists Went To 'Great Lengths'...

Posted By Steve Thornton

His two handlers were pros-you know, the two that Bush and Cheney let out of GITMO. Who's the worst, Napolitano, who only said something stupid, or Bush and Cheney, who did something stupid? Oh yeah, that's right, Bush and Cheney weren't at fault, they never were.

Dems aim to pass screw you health no debate

Posted By Steve Thornton

Republicans, the party of No Lobbyists Left Behind, have forfeited any right they had to be included in the process. Death panels, pulling the plug on Granny, socialism, making healthcare Obama's Waterloo; these shameless tactics have only shown that the Republican politicians are morally bankrupt.

This move by the Dems has been long overdue.

Gee, that was quick!

Posted By Steve Thornton

There you go again, blaming Bush again. After all, he only had seven years after 9/11 to fix the system.

From AP: "Counterterrorism officials have moved the names of dozens of people onto the terror watch list and the no-fly list after reviewing a massive government database of suspected terrorists."

"An intelligence official says the government scrubbed thousands of names in its database after an attempted bombing aboard a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day."

Kinda makes one wonder why they didn't do that, say, last January?

McCain's New Ad

Posted By Steve Thornton

McCain is facing a primary challange from the right so he's tacking to right for his primary and then he'll head to the center in the general. His straight-talk express is taking a little detour.
