Well it appears we are going to have health care reform whether the people want it or not. Of course there will be a price to pay for those who forget who the boss really is.

Everyone I know understands that this health care isn't healthy for them.

the only shock here...

The only people shocked by the administration's running around trying to claim that the Fort Hood shooting was NOT a terrorist action are those people who are still in denial as well. And probably those who are still trying to find a way to blame Bush or Chaney for it.

I have no idea how long it will be before the rest of the country wakes up to the fact that it really is a war going on out there. You can just bet that terrorism will come visit us again, just as long as we appear to be an easy target.

People still don't seem to get the notion that we are going to have to fight these guys somewhere. Bush/Chaney chose their spot and fought terrorist in Iraq. Now it looks as though the bad guys are going to be choosing the spots. We are going back on defense in the war on terror. It is stupid but predictable.

We made the argument for years,if we didn't fight them in Iraq, we would be fighting them somewhere else. These guys are going to attack us somewhere, but none of the bleeding hearts would listen. They all thought, and still do, that we can love our enemy into submission, good luck with that one.

Now no matter what 'the boy blunder' decides in Afghanistan, we look weak. Just because he is stalling the decision hoping to make some kind of personal victory out of this mess. Sometimes you just gotta take the licks kid. Try for once to put the petty political bullshit aside and DO THE RIGHT THING for us, not just yourself.

Can you Imagine, in this day of war on traditional religions, what would have been said by these jerks if the shooter had been named Goldburg. I am just amazed by all this new age thinking. Most of the time I'm glad that I'm old.

It's our own fault

The shooting at Fort Hood is our government's fault as much as anyone. No not because of our foreign policy, but because of our desire to be politically correct. This man had all the signs of a mass killer, but he was ignored because we didn't want to offend our Muslin citizens. Thirteen soldiers paid the price for our collective cowardliness.

When will someone finally have the balls to say, these people are dangerous and we are going to protect ourselves. If you don't like it, move the hell out of our country. If you can't stand with America, then get the hell out.

I don't care what your political bend, this is war not a criminal matter. Now damn it the politicians need to man up and do the right thing in memory of those soldiers at for hood, or they are going to be just as guilty as the man who pulls the next trigger. Don't look at religion, color, or anything else when you do your job, just do it damn it. This guy should never have been in a the military at the time of this shooting. If he hadn't been Muslim he would have been out on his ass a dozen times for his actions, NOT HIS BELIEFS.

Damn these cowardly politician make me sick to my stomach.

is it in trouble

Two things the democrats forgot and I'm almost sorry they are getting a wake up call so early. What got them the landslide was a one time event. They had a charismatic minority candidate. Minorities came out in droves to vote for him, and the highly idealistic independents did the same.

When two white men ran against each other this time, those two groups stayed home. Plus there is a little cult fatigue as well. So the wake up call is out there. I have a feeling all those moderate blue dog democrats are going to run like hell from the left wing agenda now. That big old mandate for change, that the leadership was beating them over the head with, took a fatal blow last night. At least in my opinion.

It's time to control the growing national debt before our money is worthless. I think there was a message sent. I would rather have them find out in the major elections next year but I'm not sure there is anything they can do about it. Once they lose that super majority things will take a change for the better. The people who want this country to be more socialist will have to take a back seat again. I wonder why they can't figure out that this was the greatest country on earth until they started to 'IMPROVE'it.

Clean up the immigration mess next. Both parties need to stop worrying about the next generation of voters and do what's right for the country.

It's 50/50

So the democrats health care plan is at 50/50 with the American people. No wait there is no plan. Will it still be 50/50 when the people know what is in the damn thing.

More seniors now believe they won't take a hit. How naive. Seniors should listen to what the politicians are saying. You don't save that amount of money on medicare without cutting benefits. Try asking them where those savings are going to come from. Pen them down to details not some pie in the sky "Oh we can find the money without touching the services." Yeah and I can fly a jet airliner, any of you guys want to sign up for the maiden flight. You are doing a similar thing, if you back this nonsense.

We have to stop spending more than we earn or seniors biggest problem will not be medicare. It is going to be how to heat your house or buy your food. Some of us might be sharing food with our dogs now, but if hyper inflation hits, it will the dog's food we are sharing.

doesn't anybody read history anymore?

Take a look a the outpost that almost got overrun.

Way too much like din bin phew (sic) where the french foreign legion got their collective asses handed to them by General Jap in the old indochina war. It was the battle that created vietnam.

My sister passed away last week. It was a terrible roller coaster ride at the end. For her sake I am glad that it is over. Copd is an insidious killer. So if you smoke for god's sake quit or make a living will now.

Today I saw an article on yahoo. Dems: GOP rooting against America... They mention how the GOP accused anyone who didn't agree with their position on Iraq as being unpatriotic. Now they say the GOP is because the conservatives were happy when Obama failed to bring the Olympics to America. And of course the Rush Limbaugh comment comes back again about hoping Obama fails.

Well I'm a republican and I think I speak for a lot of us. Not wanting the cult of Obama to be successful is not the same as not wanting the people of America to be successful. The Dems hated George Bush and bashed him every chance they got.

Now that it is their dog in the middle of the fight, they want to cry foul. I don't think that is cricket ya'll. So not wanting the Democrats socialistic policies to succeed is a far cry from wanting American soldiers to die from lack of bullets.

I don't want the government in the insurance business, I don't want them in the banking business, and I don't want them in the automobile business. I read something yesterday that I think describes most of us. In a crisis from a flood to a melt down in the banking business, we want the government to step in and help, then we want them to get the hell out of the way.

The credit market went south because the government began telling banks to make shaky loans. Well the banks made them and then when they failed they expected the government who pressured them into those loans to step in. They did and they should have. Banks I think would like to make only good loans but they get criticized for doing that. Come on people clean up you crap then leave the guys alone. If GM can't compete in he market place because of the labor unions then let them sink and the unions explain to the workers why they failed. A new company would never sign the kinds of contracts that were burdening GM.

Well anyway, GOD BLESS AMERICA just so you know where this republican stands.
