anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 6 Jan 13

It always used to be that no matter how contentious things were in Washington and no matter who was in charge of what branch(es) of our government whenever a disaster struck those in need would be helped without hesitation. I'm...

irisheyes I completely agree with your two points. Plus, one other. At least two of those Noreastern states (Pennsylvania & Rhode Island) have always advocated freedom of religion and were a big influence on the founding fathers decisions that lead to the separation of...

Was Obama elected?

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16679) • Boston, Massachusetts 10 Nov 12

I expected some stories of voter fraud to come out following the election, well any election has someone committing some type of fraud, right? But the fraud in this election is of proportions never before seen. In fact, in trying...

irisheyes The first thing you Republicans should do is learn how to run a campaign. You're big on statistics and voter registration so how about this: Your candidate spent 10s of millions of dollars in the last week trying to turn Pennsylvania, a state with 2 to 1...

irisheyes You know, you should also research and see what companies are hiring or planning to hire. But that wouldn't be much of a scare tactic. I really think these kinds of tactics helped loose Republicans the election and it's time for you guys to regroup and...

irisheyes Could not agree with you more. It is disgusting. I've spoken to some of this sort and they always shoot back at me with something like: "you said worse about Bush". No, actually I didn't. I've never spoken that way about any US president and I'm convinced...

irisheyes I live in Pennsylvania and I voted here this morning. It would have taken a lot more than a few voting machine "glitches" and Mitt Romney's last minute Hail Mary sweep through the state to turn this very blue state red... Anyway, the election is now over....

irisheyes I think the Republicans got lost in Rhetoric while the Democrats kept an eye on the electoral vote and that should give this one to the Dems. I noticed Romney made a play for Pennsylvania in the last days of the campaign but that was a real Hail Mary play.

I wonder how long it will be after polls close that we know the results

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 4 Nov 12

I plan to stay up and watch the results until I hear/see "Fox predicts @@@@@@ the winner" or CNN does. I switch between the 2 to see who is saying what. I do hear some say it will be the 'wee hours of the morning'...

Why is President Clinton campaigning so hard for President Obama?

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 5 Nov 12

I think it is because President Clinton knows that President Obama will lose and this makes President Clinton the leader and most powerful member of the Democrat Party. It is also a no lose situation for President Clinton. If...

What is the Appeal of Socialism?

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 20 Mar 12

irisheyes Socialism and Capitalism are just different systems. Each has its good points and each has its serious flaws. We should be learning from each other and adapting our systems to make them better instead of demonizing, fearmongering and knitpicking.
