Is this what the Republicans have become, are they attacking our country?
These are the people you elect into office? The Web site Talking Points Memo quoted an anonymous witness as saying King told a crowd of activists at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., on Saturday that he could “empathize” with suicide pilot Joe Stack. The site also reported that King encouraged his listeners to “implode” other IRS offices. A whole lot has bothered me tonight about the Conservative anarchists. The fact that they try to scare you with death panels when it is doctors only explaining to you what your end of life options are. They can't pull the plug on anyone, only the insurers do that. Wellpoint made $2.8 Billion dollars more last year while raising your premiums 56% They also dropped 2.3 million insured. Anthony Wiener tried to voice his opinion that the Republican were wholly owned by the insurers and his words were stricken from the minutes. An infants parents were informed that they would have to be charged for a clef lip operation because it was a "preexisting condition". Tony Wiener will not be allowed at the Blair House conference tomorrow because he speaks the truth. He is the only one I've seen stand up personally against the GOP and Insurance companies, why should he be exiled? Although your favorite, Harry Reid said it's ridiculous that the Republicans are complaining about Reconciliation. When after all it's been applied 16 out of 22 times by the GOP since 1980. They want to change the rules when they don't benefit them. Newt is another winner, he just called GW a Socialist by his actions. Republicans say that they are interested in reform but have led the Democrats down one dead alley after another. They are being criminal in their actions. I could go on and I will in another rant but you have to know that these Republicans ARE owned by big business and care about you just as much.as them. They are so protective of their money they promote terrorism, what is the matter with you people? God Bless GW? you surely must be a loon. Yeah, I've seen that stupid story and it doesn't apply to what is happening today. That is the full domination of an entire class by corporate Jackals and the Republicans that work for them. They are too stupid to realize once they bleed someone to death there is nothing left to gain from them. And that is what they are doing to the entire country, splitting it up amongst the upper 10% while we fight for survival outside their gated communities. Cons are ignorant. Reason Enforcer, King admitted to it on video on CNN tonight. I'm sure that's not credible enough for you though.

- Actually i think the Republicans are just attacking the Dems, not our country. In fact, it's republicans that push for bills that increase defense spending... Politics is a warzone, fought by ugly yet charismatic individuals. Don't act too surprised.
- Im a pretty liberal guy, but I know republicans are just returning the awful behavior of democrats during the Bush years. I was ashamed of how rude and uneducated the attacks were on Bush, it made liberals look like children, and now republicans are returning the favor. There is no way that republicans will act respectfully unless we return the favor. The country is not just about us, we should respect any opinions they have as long as they do not degrade other human beings.
- A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words, redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, ‘How is your friend Audrey doing?’ She replied, ‘Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.’ Her wise father asked his daughter, ‘Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.’ The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, ‘That’s a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I’ve worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!’ The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, ‘Welcome to the Republican Part
