Don't ya know? Obama signed a Presidential order for restrictions on corporate lobbying because he wants lobbyist money. The Dem's want HC reform because they are all on the Insurance lobbyist's payrolls. Come on argue something even worth thought! Obama has his supporters just like they all do! Unions are probably the main source of cash but he has many! It's a matter of economics to run a successful campaign and i wouldn't say Obama agrees with everything his supporters think i would only know that he will give them consessions like Republicans will give consessions to their supporters. But Obama a Saint? Wake up and smell the coffee sir! |

He is a lame duck and Egypt proves it! Ahh! we finally hear from the right wing about a political opinion about Egypt. Please expand on this. I would be really interested in knowing how this argument plays out.
Where do i start? If you expect me to argue for democracy in Egypt because I demand it here you are wrong! Cause i am not ashamed to admit my idealology ends at the border! I care about my country and whatever you beleive about Egypt a powder keg it is! How do we as a country benefit most? That's my argument period! I will side with the current regime because we know what we got and it's not bad under the circumstances. A pseudo democracy which is an actual theocracy is not the solution for the Egyptians and especially not Americans! So Obama stating he is behind a change is so ignorant it actually makes me consider what is his true agenda? Is he an American first? Is our president fighting for what is best for our country or is he merely an idealist and refusing to look at history? |

Denial is futile. The truth is there. Aye... The truth is that the 'koch' empire is the stick used to incite those that do not follow the left... and G. Sorros is the stick used to incite those that follow the right... What would you classify as the 'carrot' for each of these sides? Why is it so hard for people to understand this? They incorporate agendas as if there is a mass conspiracy and all are in lock step of thought! One man's agenda is different from the other! Ideals may ally on both sides but no one on either side is in complete lockstep unless your a moron! There are thousands of agendas on both sides of the aisle and the American citizen is at odds with most! So just cause you see a wealthy man standing beind a politician don't beleive they are in lockstep okay? Trust me they have their own personal agenda! |

Can I make a record of that? Please do and i also predicted the landslide in 2010! Kennedy will vote right on this issue and the court has not forgot the 2009 state of the union address! Obama will get smacked down by the court! He is a lame duck and Egypt proves it! He can't continue to govern from the far left without being such! By time this decision is done, about the end of 2011 the court will know his fate and all political capitol will have been spent! He is Jimmy Carter 2! |

The Tea Party is nothing more than a creation and extension of the Republican Party. It was created as as a way to hang on to disenchanted Republican voters after 8 yrs of the Bush Administration. Their most organized portions are funded by Koch Industries and the Koch brothers. That is just complete ignorance! |

Ron Paul is an idiot! Agree or disagree with Ron Paul that is hardly the correct definition of the man! He is by far one of the most honest men in washington and a very brilliant doctor! I seriously doubt you could for a momment debate this man on history, current events, or constitution! I don't agree with him on everything either but he is a good man! |

Classic strawman argument! They taught this in high school! If you can't prove it's not true than it must be true right? It's ignorance and it really is that simple!

I'm not saying their reaction is justified, but to be realistic and fair, cops are only human. When you take your chances and flee from them, it's a natural tendency for them to enter into a state of high stress and anxiety. After all, they're charged with potentially entering into harm's way by chasing and apprehending suspects who they don't know from Adam. They don't know that the subject isn't going to turn and fire on them, take hostages, commit a desperate car jacking or what... During and after a chase, their adrenalin levels go off the charts and I'd dare anyone to always maintain their composure in a life threatening situation like that... It's easy to judge them as criminal by witnessing the end result of the chase, but I doubt that many who would dismiss their behavior so assuredly actually put themselves in the cop's shoes while the chase and all of its potential for disaster are occurring. Again, I'm not saying it's right, but anyone who's ever been in a combat type situation understands the tunnel vision you experience while coping with a deadly serious threat, and a chase IS a threat. It's a threat to potentially any innocent bystander, as well as the officers involved in the chase. jmo Hmmm...let's rephrase your point! I'm not saying stealing is justified but after all theifs are human and when you grow up in the ghetto, blah, blah, blah! Crime is crime and they should be proscuted to the fullest extent of the law and thrown in prison period! |

why do people assume that the mob is the majority? I mean look at the protest's against Obama or Bush in the past! When we are giving 2 billion plus in aid and other military aid why don't we have a say? Obama is making his second great blunder! We do not need another theocracy in the middle east and calling for change that's exactly what he may get! For one moment set aside the rhetoric and look at the reality! Egypt may be the next Iran or worse and that's bad for America! I guess idealolgy is more precious than life itself???????????

argue away here but I know for certain that this bill will not get past the supreme court and will be the end of Obama! He is a failed president and that's a fact jack! The country will move further right and in 2012 things will be so bad economically the right will win another landmark victory! Let's hope they do as promised this time and start making large scale cuts! Americans don't want big brother bigger and they are demanding policies written that protect the working man. I predict the left has moved so far left they no longer represent the working class and the working person has finally figured this out! They are now the party of the welfare receipient or union thug! They no longer relate with the working class!

Not to mention there are no sources listed and I am pretty sure a lot of people haven't had their IQ tested. lol....But they really beleive it i mean after all it was on youtube right? |

How anyone could want Obamacare is beyond me! Expecting government to fix healthcare is just crazy and ignorant of history! When will people learn? I really think it will take complete bankruptcy for people to realize there is only one answer to lifes problems! Self reliance and hard work! There is no free lunch, maybe a lunch paid for by other but not free! Government needs to know their role, and offering provisions of any kind without work is a bad plan! No matter the problem government will never be the answer because the idealology is flawed! It will always be flawed because power corrupts! This has been proven 100% of the time! A utopia will always exsist in the minds of the ignorant because dreaming is all they are capable of. When forced to give actual results the idealist always comes up short and will become a realist. The human spirit can be measured and reality dictates that when a person works and gives true effort they demand results and results occur. When idealology is the measuring stick the rule of science is removed and results become an after thought! Nature's laws are cruel and may not be ideal but create results! No idea can change this only prolong the inevadible! Government healthcare at best is only a temp fix and will never last because America is the leader in world economics not a hanger on like other socialist systems! A government healthcare in America would represent the third largest economy in the world! we are not talking Great britan or canada here, we are talking numbers that exceed Any government budget other than China! Obamacare is all idealology and will not work and no matter your opinion that is fact and either today we realize that or in our future we will, but i gurantee you one thing it will be scrapped because it's ignorance and it is only a matter of when we will scrap it!

Seriously? Many conservatives accuse Hitler of being a leftist, on the grounds that his party was named "National Socialist." But socialism requires worker ownership and control of the means of production. In Nazi Germany, private capitalist individuals owned the means of production, and they in turn were frequently controlled by the Nazi party and state. True socialism does not advocate such economic dictatorship -- it can only be democratic. Hitler's other political beliefs place him almost always on the far right. He advocated racism over racial tolerance, eugenics over freedom of reproduction, merit over equality, competition over cooperation, power politics and militarism over pacifism, dictatorship over democracy, capitalism over Marxism, realism over idealism, nationalism over internationalism, exclusiveness over inclusiveness, common sense over theory or science, pragmatism over principle, and even held friendly relations with the Church, even though he was an atheist. http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-hitler.htm I still think that many of you miss the point! There is no ACTUAL "left" or "right"! There have been many papers, therories an such written and put in place for government. Hitler was for the most part an extremist and yes mostly right but also left on issues as well, as in the nationalist socialist party. The very name says right left party. Nationalism a right wing issue and socialism being a left wing issue. Like i said before there is no monopoly on thought and hybrid governments are the norm not the exception. It's ironic though when you see liberals side with extreme right wingers like muslim groups and dead against christian groups. Politics make for strange bed fellows! |

private, Hitler also said that "I absolutely insist on protecting private property... we must encourage private initiative".[9] On yet another occasion he qualified that statement by saying that the government should have the power to regulate the use of private property for the good of the nation.[10] Hitler clearly believed that the lack of a precise economic programme was one of the Nazi Party's strengths, saying: "The basic feature of our economic theory is that we have no theory at all."[11] While not espousing a specific economic philosophy, Hitler employed anti-semitic themes to attack economic systems in other countries, associating ethnic Jews with both communism ("Jewish Bolsheviks") and capitalism, both of which he opposed.[12][13] Hitler also believed that individuals within a nation battled with each other for survival, and that such ruthless competition was good for the health of the nation, because it promoted "superior individuals" to higher positions in society.[14] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany A free history lesson I don't know why you posted this. If you did it to support my point that the Nazis weren't right wing and were actually left wing, then thank you. If you posted it because you think it supports the idea that the Nazis were right wing, then you obviously didn't understand what you read. Oh i rant and get off topic often. But i was just commenting back to previous quoters. |

I think it is the last place we need to cut, our children are FAILING and as cliche as it is they really are our future. Cut their source of funding and protection and you cut our future place in the world. so long as we keep health care repeal, the medicare is not an issue as they will or should already have their own health insurance. If the 50 percent cut includes salaries, its not deal, otherwise it all sounds peachy well healthcare repeal is another issue in which i want more consessions for, the 50% comes in forms of jobs not salary cuts. cut DOE jobs! You forgot Cut ALL Subsidies, cut off foreign aid, cut off ALL give aways, Cut back on all levels of bureaucracy, AND MOST OF ALL END THE FEDERAL TREASURY AND IRS! |

Extremists to the max. Seems if they can't take away our right to bear arms, they want to personally own nukes. http://leftaction.com/ Dear NRA: Support my "Right" to a Nuclear Weapon! Why won't the NRA support my right to own a nuclear weapon? This is the question we'd like to have answered. Go ahead, fill out the form to the right, and... ask the NRA yourself! Think about it -- if the NRA opposes legislation to ban high-capacity magazines (i.e., clips with dozens of bullets), why do they draw the line there? Why can't I own a nuke? After all, the Second Amendment talks not about "guns" but "arms." And "arms" certainly includes nukes. After all, nukes don't kill people, people kill people... right? Either the NRA admits there's a reasonable line to be drawn, based on how lethal a weapon is, or it doesn't. If it's the former, then that's great news, and a welcome change -- one that could finally enable us as a nation to have a sensible debate as to where that line should be drawn (for example, at high-capacity magazines). If it's the latter, and the NRA opposes such a line, then we want to know... where's our nukes? http://leftaction.com/action/dear-nra-support-my-right-nuclear-weapon can they draw the line at small arms? interesting thought? |
