Is that you, Rush???

No--I am NOT a Rush L. fan. I can't stand his radio voice. I have heard him say something like--"on loan, from God" and that is such a huge turnoff right there, I can listen to him. So whatever else he has to say--I don't want to hear.

not necessarily, Romney wants national healthcare, well atleast the "other Romney" did a few months back.

Sorry, son, this is great, and people know it. As he said the start-up will be rough, but in the end healthcare will be more available, and cheaper.

I guess that is why all the democrats are out on the campaign trail, touting their Obamacare votes. Because it is so very popular, right Carl?

Brian...the sad part is...you have been paying for all those that do not or can not have or afford to have health insurance all along. It was just not as pronounced as it is today. And either way...whether Obamacare goes or stays...or if it is shoved back down Obama's throat...you will continue to pay. The goal is to try and pay minimal either way AND still have a decent type of health care plan yourself. This nation is in serious trouble in many ways. Health care is only ONE of them. What bothers me is how the govt. is creating two classes of health care: us, and them. If Obamacare IS so good, then why did 97% of the legislators vote NO when a bill was floated for them to join 3 years ago? To me...that tells me the story. Our legislators will continue to isolate themselves from the masses, at the taxpayers expense. Sickening at best. Next illegal that walks into an emergency room with a gunshot wound...do you have insurance? No? Then go to the free govt. clinic across the street and stand in line. THAT is the way it should be. If there is to be a line...then it should be a little lower than the govt. has long term planned.

You're so clueless it's hilarious. Name one thing he had done to improve the economy and create jobs. His "Stimulous"? The one bankrupting us now, and creating so much uncertainty that no businesses will hire.

God, YOU ARE CLUELESS. You do know that if you voted in the primary for Obama you don't have to vote in November, right?

To Liberals are Losers
1. the auto bailout

Dan, If only that were true.

Too many politicians, of both parties, are interested in one thing and one thing only, and that is re-election. They put self interest or party above the good of the country.
Do yourself a favor and pick up the book "The Debt Bomb" by Senator Tom Coburn. He spells it all out.

Good in all of them? No. Democrats, catering to their lazy base, always trying to find more ways to give the lazy base money, always trying to get more illegals to be citizens, always trying to grow more government are EVIL, and the destroyers of this country. There is a war going on in this country, and all level headed intelligent people should be working hard to crush the Democrats. They are the destroyers of the country. Wanna see where this leads in 4 more years???? Greece.

@ Liberals .... sir I think you were speaking of George Bush as well....hmmmmm he is a republican. Remember he gave allll those rebate checks out. Just handing out money from the government. Mr BIG GOVERNMENT Bush....yep that is a fact

http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2008/04/20080425.html

also @ Liberals...here are some more FACTS... Clinton (Democrat) spent less than Bush (republican).

http://www.factcheck.org/defending_spending_bushs_blooper.html

again @ Liberals.... more fact. Obama has not spent more. Most of his spending in 2009 was due to Bush's policies already in place. So if you put ALL blame on Democrats...then FOR SURE, when you look at the charts and facts in the following link, the charts will show 0% deficits and spending during Republican years of presidency and house control. RIIIIGGGHHHT? hahaha. dude you dont know you a$$ from your elbow

heres the link

http://factcheck.org/2012/06/obamas-spending-inferno-or-not/

@ Liberals... also, if you don't like these facts...then vote for somebody with a solid record like Paul. Preaching Romney is the worst.

To say they answer to no one is to ignore the basic fact that they ARE elected officials. Elected by us. We still do live in a constitutional democracy, and elections ARE the only way these people get into office. Yes, they answer to their contributors and to big corporate wishes, and often vote to support big business over the welfare of the common man. But does that mean all elected officials are corrupt all the time? No, Does it mean we abdicate our responsibility to keep trying to get the best results from our elected officials? No. Remember, they are in office because we chose to put them there, and now it is our task to work within this constitutional system to see that improvements are made.

Dan...collectively, and over time, our elected officials have created such a barricade of laws and requirements for Joe the Plumber, a representative from the middle class averaging $44K a year, to run against them...it is nearly impossible. And for anyone that is not seriously interested in serving the people...it just is not worth it. Any possible candidate would need to raise tens of thousands of signatures from their congressional district collected by assistants that live ONLY in that district (this requirement was changed when challenged in court...now my Aunt Mable who lives in Tamaqua can come down and help me collect signatures). Hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions needed to fend off an incumbents attacks on my personal life...not my political experience...because I have yet to have any. This is how the incumbents have protected themselves from a challenge from a 'newbie'. And it never was that way. As the political institution changed...the incumbents got smarter, they got greedy, they bought off the judges to allow them to change the laws. So...how does our vote abdicate a politician...like Pat Browne for example...that has been in office way too long? They are in office, Dan, because they created the rules to keep themselves there. And in seeing how Pat Browne tried to tap into MY local tax money and strip the wealth from SWT or increase my local taxes to compensate for the loss...all to save a city that needs a Mayor...Pat Browne crossed the line.

Dan McKinney - "They" may be elected officials but "they" are clearly in the pockets of big money and as SWT Resident has made clear, it is basically impossible for a lay person to run for a national office not to say anything of winning an election. Furthermore, just for the record, we do not live in a democracy, we live in a republic. If this were truly a democracy, there would be referendums for just about everything, when in fact there are referendums only rarely and never for national issues, only for local issues. Why is that do you think?

To equate the position of middle class Americans with that of the Jews in Nazi Germany is an example of the kind of demonization of American elected officials that I'm talking about. That's an affront to those who died at the hands of the Nazis. Neither you nor your family have been imprisoned, tortured, executed, and nor will you be. There is a knowable world out there that we all live in, and that world does not include middle class Americans as hapless victims of genocide at the hands of their own government. To say and believe such things represents an abdication of responsibility because it moves one into a realm of fantasy, not reality, and in that fantasy world no change can ever be effected. Those who promote such ideas are the ones to blame for partisan gridlock in Washington. Our elected officials have to respond to an electorate that is so far removed from reality that there is no room for compromise, no room for anything but inflexible ideology.

Dan...yet, we haven't been. It is common knowledge for those that research it that the federal govt. has built and maintains civilian internment camps all throughout Montana. They also have railroad cars with shackles parked and ready to be moved anywhere across the US to pick up detainees as needed and return them to Montana where hundreds of thousands can be jailed in each camp. A law Congress passed in 2006, HR 5122, gave the President soul authority and right to commandeer Federal and State National Guard Troops for use against American citizens during national Martial Law enactments. The bill is entitled the John Warner Defense Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year 2007. I encourage you to research it. My point is although it may not seem right for this nation to fall to Martial Law, the laws are in place, as is the money in a national emergency fund, to hunt you and your family down and lock you all up with NO trial as an enemy of the nation. Its not fantasy. It is reality. It may never be used against us, the American people. But the govt is prepared to do what they have to to remain in charge. In knowing what I know I am not willing to lay down my arms or my guard for what I consider a corrupt govt that is only interested in one thing: their survival and money. So if anyone fired the first shot of mistrust...its your own govt. that has. Slowly we are losing our abilities and rights as protected under the US Constitution. Remember your Congress passed these laws.

Dan,
When Congress joins Obama Care, and drops their special insurance program and joins Social Security and drops their special pension plan, repeals every other "exemption from the laws they write and begins to live by the same rules that they have so graciously set for me, then maybe I'll believe that they have my interests at heart.
The two party system is broken, we do not get a choice. We get a sham. Proof of this was the last election. Bush wanted to bail out the banks, insurance companies and the auto industry. He was called an idiot by Obama. Once elected Obama bailed out the banks, insurance companies and the auto industry. Don't you get it, the banks, insurance companies and auto industry run this country. There is no choice, every four years, our officials get to collect billions in campaign contributions and spend it on whatever they want without oversight, then go and do what the corporations and cartels want.

If you want to believe in them go ahead, I'm not drinking the Kool Aid. People that set rules that involve life and death of others, either through war or health care while exempting themselves from the rules are demons. People that corrupt the institutions that they swore to defend are traitors. It is as simple as that, and no amount of convoluted liberal bullshit will convince me otherwise. I am not to blame for Washington, I don't have a choice on who is running and don't have a choice on who wins. It is a scam, and I blame the people that are perpetrating the scam not myself and my fellow citizens. It is the elected officials and the lobbyists and the people who pay the lobbyists that are dragging this country down, and of course the idiots who walk around with rose colored glasses thinking that its all just wonderful.

Obama has NO skills to be a leader. In fact his Saul Alinsky training taught him to divide people, and pit them against one another. Just like his latest ploy to give tax breaks to "regular" people, but not the "rich". Never mind that EVERY economic analyst says many of the "rich" are business owners, and a greater tax on them can have nothing but a negative effect on the economy... Obama does not care about the economy getting better... in fact, a bad economy is a more fertile ground in which to use his Alinsky methodology.... he is riding this "justice" and "fairness" thing hard... it's his separate and divide plan... get the "regular" folks hating the rich. never mind the rich pay like 80% of federal taxes already... let's hate them because they are successful...
Obama has NO ideas about anything, especially the economy. But he understands how simple minded his base is... do nothing for gays for 3.5 years, then say you have "evolved".... realizing that once you are in office, you will not do a damn thing for gays, and won't be able to get any legislation passed becuase you are SOOO devisive a "leader" (really not a leader at all), and hispanics, who are too dense to see Obama does not give a damn about them, or he would have done something in his first 2 years when he controlled congress.. now he throws them a bone and they all cheer... once he is in they will get NOTHING in his second term.
Obama and liberals SUCK.

LAL...the Repubs in office promised us business would create jobs, jobs, jobs IF we gave them the tax breaks and money to do so. Well, where are the jobs, jobs, jobs, man??? The Demos squandered their time in office when they should have been doing alot more as well. I can't fault one Repub or one Demo for where this nation is. Its ALL OF THEM. The Repubs are soooooooo busy trying to get Obama out of office absolutely any way they can...they are a joke. The People and the business of the People has been put last. I swear if you walk past the Repub crappers in Washington all you will hear out of them is Get Obama...Get Obama...Get Obama. And if you walk into the Demo lunch room...all you see is Demos walking around bumping into one another going...DOH! DOH! DOH!...like Homer Simpson. I don't care WHO gets into office or if Obama stays. We need action for the people. Period. Businesses had their chance over the past 4 years. All they do is have their hand out for yet MORE money...to create jobs. And the bottom half of the scale...as well as illegal aliens...have their hand out to Obama looking for a gift as well. How about someone come up with something for the middle class so we can afford to live, have some money to help kick this economy into gear, and send our kids to school for an education? Can Romney do that? Can Obama do that? So far neither man has impressed me. Neither have the Repubs or the Demos either in general.

Fact # 1 - 97+% of small business owners who have employees make less then 250K per year.

Fact #2 - less then 5% of those making over $250K per year have any direct control on employing anyone.

I can't wait for these Romney skills to come out

Liberals are losers...please provide examples. you are just ranting again. He hasn't divided anything. The republicans are pissed that he passed their healthcare plan. They are mad because he is governing like Reagan. They are mad that he has kept the Bush tax cuts. They are mad that Bush bailed out the banks and Obama bailed out the auto industry. They are mad that Bush costed us trillions in wars, and Obama gave the call to get Bin Laden. They are mad Obama cut taxes for us in payroll tax cuts for workers and small businesses. They are mad because Obama wants to keep Bush's school loan rates at Bush's school loan rates. They are mad Obama kept Gitmo open as Bush did. What exactly are you talking about?

no facts to provide??? need facts. not rants
