I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

America loves a winner!
Quote:Originally posted by mal4prez: Yeah, and it seems more obvious all the time that our goverment is secretive, misleading and wasteful. Doesn't matter which party; both have been responsible for letting corporations take control of our government.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: OMG!!! Better break out the down jacket and gloves! So, what you YOU want Congress to do as of this point? Personally, I'd like them to start investigating some folks with the idea of impeachment on the table. I want them to vote for election reform NOW. No more black-box voting! I want them to go over the budget and eliminate all the pork. Yep, ALL of it. Take all that money and put it towards government-run health care. While they're at it, reform the tax code. Make us and corporations equal. Repeal NAFYA, CAFTA, SHAFTA and the DMCA. Raise the minimum wage to something resembling liveable. Pull troops out of Iraq in a year starting now. NO permanent bases there either! Oh yeah- and REQUIRE television and radio the provide FREE airtime for Presidential and Congressional candidates. Also Rap, I see your on the board and I had a question about what your concerns were about government involvement in health care. --------------------------------- Always look upstream.

Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: Auraptor, got some questions: "Finish the job in Iraq." There are no WMD in Iraq. Aren't we done yet? "Get the Gov't out of health care." Ummm.... why? I really want to know.

Quote:There were WMD in Iraq, just not what we expected. Give the surge a chance.Leaving Iraq before the Gov't has a chance to stand on its own would lead to a true civil war, with 100,000's of more lives being lost and destablilizing a large portion of the middle east w/ no military presence to put out the fire. Now I'll admit that I am baffled at this nameless, all powerful person/persons behind the concept that we MUST establish a full time base there. I'm not sure I'm sold on that idea.
Quote:I don't want Gov't health care because I prefer the free market. It seems to work just fine with grocery stores, pizza delivery, car insurance, gas stations, home suupply, etc... We don't have Gov't running any of those outfits, do we? And yet the goods / services get deliverd just fine. Why should healthcare be any different?
