iriscot By the way, the loss of government control over big business (insurance companies and hospitals in this case) started when Reagan was president and relaxed all controls (remember the airline control tower operators incident?) The Republican party has always...

iriscot Switching primaries might be ok for those who have insurance provided by the employers, however there is one catch. A friend of mine, who worked in a steel mill for over 35 years lost his insurance when he retired and was no longer able to work the company he...

iriscot Have you been watching the news? Two of your Republican friends have already stuck their foot in their mouth over this situation. Talk about sticky fingers, check out Bush and Cheney and their ties to big oil, it goes way back in time.

iriscot This may not be the right time to bring this up, sometime everyone here should check out the ties with the Bush and Cheney clan. Do you sometimes wonder why the Federal regulators were so lax in enforcing the regulations on the oil industry?

iriscot Well, I guess everyone agrees that Obama is right, because that is exactly the statement that he made. It doesn't seem right that BP and the large oil drilling companies wouldn't have the know how to take care of their own mess though. I remember when they...

iriscot Have you seen the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic, not to mention Iceland. People who believe as you do, better wake up. The politicians have preached what you believe for years and probably will never understand or listen to Science.
