President Obama wants to meet with the Republicans to put together a compromise government health bill where everybody walks away from the table with something.

It IS disturbing and a picture is worth a thousand words. Pike needs animal control.

Can't you see that the reason our economy continues to flounder is because of the unsustainable debt that BO continues to accumulate?
Health care reform should be handled with common sense, not political agendas.
Check the drudge report.
And oh good. The Pike County bobblehead has put forth her 25 cents worth. Rave on, oh queen of the keyboard!
Your bigotry is showing Lothar. You've drank the kook-aide and now everyone is a racist who doesn't bow down to Odumbo. Your messiah has only one idea "Let's blame Bush till the end of our term"
I cited a good source for truth with the Drudge report. Here is another The Heritage Foundation.
All obama knows to talk about is building roads and bridges. What the hell for? It is not as if there are industrial parks at the end of them. I wish he would jump on a road and ride until he needs a passport then build a bridge back to Kenya. The same place his birth certificate can be found. His "still here illegal immigrant Aunt" can help drive.
As far as my bigotry. You're probably right. But I'm a non discriminatory bigot. Call me Archie Bunker of the south. And as far as blaming Bush. You're absolutely right again. He is a deserter in time of war. He is a political lightweight swimming in a sea of sharks. he surrounded himself with thieves and criminals and ripped the Constitution to shreds. Now I'm not saying Obama hasn't done the same. Or has he?
And as far as retrieving my head from parts you seem to be familiar with, Bobble, perhaps you should try it some time. Might make your head fit your shoulders better.
Take the test on the opening page.
The Democrats are defunct ... Presidents Carter, Clinton and Obama have rendered them ineffective.
The Republicans are defunct ... Presidents Bush (the 41st) and Bush (the 43rd) have rendered them ineffective.
It is not the function of the Federal Government to guarantee the Citizens of the United States any Social Amenities.
Not everyone on public assistance is unemployed... and not everyone unemployed chooses to be. For years, companies are posting record profits while their employees are receiving public assistance. Republicans nor Democrats are doing anything about it because they are NOT the ones in control. They are all puppets.
Do you really expect to be fed and cared for without putting any effort into it?
You talk about companies paying better, they pay what the market will accept. If they couldn't hire anyone at that pay scale, they would pay better.
The problem is that everyone wants something for nothing. They want to get a GED and get paid like someone with a High School diploma. They want a High School diploma but want to get paid like a college graduate. They want a college education but want to get paid like a doctor.
People in good paying jobs have worked to educate themselves in order to improve their lot in life.
If everyone had to work for food, clothing and health care, they would be motivated to get better educated.
Instead, you would cripple them by giving them handouts and letting them continue down the path to complete government reliance.
Not everyone has the capacity to go to college and earn a degree. You operate on the assumption that everyone has the brain power or basic skills to learn or do anything. That assumption is completely false. Some people are just slow. Keep reading the blog.
So, perhaps these people don’t get to buy a Bentley or a BMW but if they work at Wal-Mart 40 hours a week, shouldn’t they be able to sustain themselves and feed their family on that income? But they cannot and so they seek assistance. Do you expect people to live off of minimum wage? Would you like for your trash men to be college educated so they can afford to feed their family? How much are you willing to pay for your trash to be collected? These are just some examples of where the logic that everyone should go to college in order to afford basic “amenities” such as food and healthcare falls apart.
Perhpas the issue is the structure of the entire system. The markets are not God and should not be the deciding factor for every last thing. You should not have to go to college to feed yourself..but you should work.
I take my own trash to the dump.
Living Wage? Do you mean like the Unions coerced General Motors into paying?
Remember, General Motors has now closed or sold the Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and soon the Hummer Brands. Those jobs left the United States.
Remember, The Federal Government now owns more than 800 Billion Dollars in General Motors Stock.
Remember, the only revenue that the Federal Government of the United States has is the Tax Collected from Citizens just like you and me.
I know, I know, they won't ever be if we don't vote for them. But, I don't see them taking a lot of House/Senate seats and if we don't do something to stop BO, we won't have a country left.
In the next elections, assuming we have shut down this democrat craziness. I will be voting libertarian.
Did you get the memo about the Berlin Wall coming down in one day?
Did you get the memo about the Soviet Union going away in a very short period of time?
Perhaps the Libertarian Party will not be the vehicle that returns the United States to Liberty but all it takes is for the Citizens to unite and use our Constitutional Power of the Vote to peacefully change our Government.
The Republicans are no longer the answer.
The Democrats are no longer the answer.
It takes open dialogue and willingness to peacefully and lawfully oppose wrong politics.
2 & 3 - It's hard for me to tell because Anonymous is anonymous, but in this post you appear to applaud the efforts of Ronald Reagan and in 9.1.1 you tear hime down. Yes the result of many years of pressure and planning did result in those things happening but I don't see that sort of impetus in the Libertarian party right now. But I AM hopeful.
As far as the rest of your comments I am in 100% agreement. Dems and reps are done or the USA is; it is just a matter of time.
8.2.1 was mine ... 9.1.1 is not mine.
David & Sheila ... Keep on Carrying On !
Anyone who still supports Hussein can't possibly consider anyone else a sheep or a moron.
BTW - Were you blaming Clinton or Bush for the 9/11 attacks? I'm betting Bush even though your boy BO has been in office longer.
He made it easier for the sytem to be abused by the powerful rich minority...thereby making themselves wealthier at the expense of others. Its not redistution of wealth if the wealth was obtained by immoral means to begin with.. by the very people that set up the system and want it to remain outside of government oversight. They do not want to be subject to any form of accountability or moral obligation.
I am for better government, not NO government (assuming the government speaks for the people and not big business, which is not always the case).
It is humorous that there are people who earn less than 1 million a year and vote republican. I cannot wrap my head around that.
This problem goes all the way back to the beginning of time..class warfare. The rich would not be rich if there were no poor..and you people who make between 50,000 and 1 million a year are not rich..lol.
