Anyone who doesn't think Prs. Obama bowing to royalty is demeaning...

If you are liberal, bow to Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh. If you are Conservative, bow to Obama or Michael Moore. Tell your kids to bow to their teachers and principal. Bow to your employer. Bow to your Mayor, Governor and...

reppie2roo Obama so far has been a horrible President. There is plenty to bash him for besides his bowing. Although I do feel it is consistent with what appears to be his view that America is evil, and he wishes to fundamentally change America. Of course the...

reppie2roo Wow, both sound like horrible options. Almost seems familiar. Oh wait, it is familiar. Yep, both were horrible options. I guess I would go with the one that held similar beliefs to my own, especially regarding direction of the country and view of the...

reppie2roo Yeah Seymour, Indiana. I was born in Vincennes, Indiana in 1974, and the rumor I always heard, was that he attended Vincennes University around that same time. Also, another rumor that I have heard about Mellencamp that is pretty funny, my wife's high school...

Someone finally got a clue!

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 12 Nov 09

Some congressmen (just a handful) have proposed a constitutional amendment that would put term limits on how long someone can serve in congress and the house. About time they realized what a problem it was not to have it. THey...

reppie2roo I'm for eliminating the house rule that sets the number of representatives at 435. Originally, under the constitution there was supposed to be one representative for every 30,000 citizens, something like that. In the early 1900's Congress determined that a...

reppie2roo As far as their pay raises, I think a reasonable solution would be to set their pay raises at the rate of inflation, or maybe say no more than 110% the inflation rate. That way if inflation was 3% the most their pay could raise is 3.3%. I am not opposed to...

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 12 Nov 09

The rule in question pertains to a member's website content; it reads as follows: "May not include grass-roots lobbying or solicit support for a member's position." Here are the highlights of what Michele Bachmann posted on...

Why NOT a "Public Option"?!!

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 29 Sep 09

IF we want to help insure those uninsured by private insurers why NOT have a "public option"? It just makes sense, right?

reppie2roo Yep and yep. I read the comments in this thread and was shocked that so many people think a public option makes sense. One of the common themes was that insurance companies have forced the price of their product to be unreasonable. If reality supported...

How do most folks vote, personal interest or national interest? How about you?

valentinesdiner @valentinesdiner (1214) • United States 2 Nov 09

There is a theory that people vote one of two ways most of the time... personal interest or national interest. How about you?

reppie2roo Amen to that. I think if you vote based on Constitutional interest the other two will take care of themselves. The problem is too many people don't understand the Constitution. I sure would like to think our elected leaders understand it, but I am beginning...

Obama implies that the White House doesn't have to play by the rules.

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 30 Oct 09

Remember FILEGATE? FBI files on some Republican luminaries turned up in the Clinton White House. Well, seems that one of those Republicans took exception and sued back in 1996. The case has remained alive and seems now Obama wants...

FloridaGator09 @FloridaGator09 (66) • United States 31 Oct 09

reppie2roo One thing not mentioned so far is the IRS. Maybe not as bad as the ones already mentioned, but still a mistake. Is such a huge discouragement to savings and investment.

reppie2roo Are you suggesting oil companies should further increase the supply of gasoline during the holidays? I am trying to think of an efficient way to do that, and not sure if it is possible. They would either have to slightly increase production throughout the...
