What the goverment calls foreneign aid is not adrop in the bucket true. What does it cost to keep 65,000 soldders stationed in japan. Everytime we build an air base or now a drone station these countries get millions from us. We need to mind our own business and keep our money here.

Yes webby, Mitt RMoney Paid more in taxes than I made ... but he paid 13% of what he made over 20 years as per his tax accounting firm ... while I paid closer to 30%

Righteous pretense wont get you no where, you've well identified yourself with the uber rich and their whining about how they are paying taxes ... and they need it to be lower ...

You may pay more in taxes, but you may also pay less in a percentage. That must be what you are getting all riled up about ... OK so lets see here, airports were built by tax dollars, they are not fully collected by airport and airline fees. They are paid for by tax payers. So you're making your $$$ on other people's payments and refusing to pay for it in your own taxes.

Be indignant all you want, its as hollow as Mitt Rmoney's promises, and his Tax accounting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers declaration of his tax rate over 30 years.

Cool.

Yep, I operate on Principle. It took me till I was in my early 20's to figure it out. Right & wrong kept changing. Society said something was bad & unacceptable in 1960, but later it was okay. Stuff like that. I couldnt keep up. I Needed a solid, unchanging foundation. Right is RIGHT, wrong is Wrong. YOuve seen my arguments. POlitical ? I stay the same. Wrong for Clinton? Then its wrong for Bush, too. I dont play the "Well, YOUR guy did Even WOrse, so MY guy is okay" game.,. I AM principled.,.
You decide how you "Feel" about something based on all kinds of things.

Looka this you said''


So you dont want to be x-rayed or groped @ airport ... you can do what I do then ... be too poor to get on a plane .


Thats about the most ridiculous position Ive heard. You pretend that whats happening doesnt matter because you cant afford to fly. You dont care about whats being done to others? But, I thot you were a Democrat, caring ^& loving & fighting for what people need in life. YOu dont have a problem with the TSA dragging paraplegics outta chairs & groping kids?





.. Once I was allowed on a plane ... turns out it was a mess, and someone had to clean it up.


So? How is this relevant?

Sorry man, I work for a living, I cant worry about being x-rayed, I have more trivial things to worry about, like how am I gonna feed my family, how I am going make the house payment and how am I going to


You that broke? Get a part time job. I always had jobs that kept me goin 60 + hours a week.

and neither side liked it and there is no way to prevent it. Cos terrorists used planes to ram buildings.

Bullshit. That you believe that is part of your problem with seeing things straight.

President's over reach from time to time and this one has done it often, but has been bailed out by his friendly media contacts, but has he gone to far this time? What started out last week as doom and gloom is now being pulled back from (sounds like the same formula they used when they got our ambassador killed....).   Now the story yesterday was 'well, we never said the sh*t would hit the fan the first day...." BS! they did too, that was all he talked about while running around the country...

I think the idea that the Feds can't figure out how to run things on 2.4% less money has really pissed a bunch of people off....

One of these days the curtain's gonna be pulled back from good and no amount of spinning by NBC's Brian Willams, SNL crew or the morons that invest Hollywood is going to keep the rest of the country from seeing what a complete and utter failure this guy has been....

The Bubs didnt get the ambassador killed.. Id be happy to pin it on them if they did,.

At least Biden had to give up his ride on Air Force 2 today that was used to haul his sorry self from D.C. to his home in Delaware and back.  Let him drive like anyone else would.
And all members of Congress lost their free rides on military aircraft today.
Now if Bammy would just quit riding around the country to campaign (election is over ) and play golf here and there.
For a serious moment, after Clinton left office, one news interviewer asked him if there was one thing he missed during the time he was POTUS, and he replied that for those 8 years, he really missed not being able to drive a car like a normal person would.
Now, isn't POTUS also CIC of the Armed Froces?  So, why not just go down to the motor pool and check out a Hummer and go for a ride?

Srinath -

You are showing ignorance agian.  The housing bubble was a direct result of the Community Improvement Act, a Clinton era piece of legislation that required lenders to make loans to people who couldn not repay them, in a mis-guided effort to spread home ownership to those who can not afford it.
Please get your history and your facts straight before you just spout off at the mouth, or better put in this context, spout off with your fingers on a keyboard.
