Geeze craig, if all I ever read was the left leaning media matters I might be a liberal too; naw, I tried it once, it didn't work.

"It speaks to the sturdiness of the system our founders installed that it is, as intended, so resistant to passing major legal and cultural changes against the overwhelming will of the public. So resistant that, in frustration, the Democratic speaker of the House has been driven to consider breaking her oath of office and violate the Constitution in order to get her way." --columnist Tony Blankley

"Last year, the House was passing bills without reading them. This year, they're passing bills without voting on them." --former House Speaker Newt Gingrich "What kind of leader sends congressmen out on a kamikaze mission in an election year and right before a recess? The kind of leader whose followers are diminishing in number." --Human Events editor Jed Babbin "Democrats, though, continue to close their eyes and cover their ears while loudly singing the la la song." --The Washington Times' Kerry Picket

gee joe, I am still waiting for you to tell us why the unions are refusing to help pay for health care reform. They refuse to pay taxes on their cadillac health plans.

Someone is channeling Sam Jackson from Pulp Fiction, this morning ! The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Lynn W., I am concerned about your use of scripture this morning and the connection you appear to be making in my opinion, regarding this particular chapter and verse, and it's implied ramifications for those who may politically disagree with you. In my opinion, nothing will polarize us more than the creation of a premise, that every single issure is based on 'good vs evil'. I will not ask you to have a change of mind, but I will ask you to consider and a 'change of heart'.

Joe- If the dems worked with the GOP they could pass something with real reform that would not take four years to start. What a joke. This is the biggest gimmick partiasn bill ever. And yes very unpopular.
