Ill bet money that they would find that a much HIGHER percentage of Tea Party members are cheating on their taxes than any other single group.

Are you well read when it comes to the Keystone Pipeline issue? Have you looked at the proposed route, the challenges, the risks, the benefits, expected revenues, projected employment data and tax shares?

I would guess by your comment that you are NOT interested or capable of understanding it anyhow.

Instead, you are a typical partisan who in his/her mind, connects anything with the word OIL in it to GOOD AND RIGHT. That is the extent of your calculation.

No bong here, I work hard and pay my taxes Mr. Jim. Have a nice day.

Some would argue that the numbers you are quoting could have been much, much worse. Remember that in the final stretch of the last republican administration, world leaders were gathered and told that the whole world was about to collapse, anarchy was imminent, and the money supply was days from not existing... So to insinuate this is Obama's creation is ignorant and manipulative.

Bush threw nearly 1 trillion dollars of our taxpayer money at the banks, AIG, and others still unknown, trying to stop the bleeding. In the 6 months prior to Obama taking office, we lost over 4 million jobs,.,so you cant make it sound like the wound was inflicted because of Obama...although it is easy to argue that he hasn't done all of the right things to control the bleeding. I say he needs to adjust the plan.

That might be fair, but do not miscalculate WHO and WHAT caused the wound(s) in the first place...

Because if you do, and you ignorantly vote to return to the policies that caused this collapse, then YOU will be one of those who I blame when this happens again.

You cant throw all of society tot he curb as you please the uber wealthy, thinking they will "trickle" it down to you someday...its baloney - that has NEVER happened, it will NEVER happen. Employers create a job when an opportunity presents itself to make money by creating the job. Jobs are not created by giving wealthy elites more wealth... Campaign contributions are created by doing that.

You quote oil price change?? Oil companies are making RECORD profits and who do you think the bulk of their contributions go to?

You quote unemployment, but do you know what the jobs WERE that we have lost? I suggest you look into that before you lay blame.

You show the credit rating downgrade and cite our debt, but then you likely also defend Mitt Romney paying less tax than you and I, or GE paying none. Our tax fairness is the laughing stock of the world. Flat tax??? Do you understand at all what that will do to the 99% who are not wealthy? Is the entirety of the republican electorate ultra wealthy? Do they know what will happen to prices of things? Capitalism is good and right, but it is being abused by it's only flaw, the consolidation of wealth and according POWER.

I stand by my observation that "party blinded" republicans, which is a good portion of at least whats represented here judging by the comments, espouse "facts" that are anything but facts. This collapse is a result of greed. Obama has not been able to right the ship, I agree, but could anyone have done so? Are you so sure? Whatever lies ahead, I would hope that we would learn that the administrative policies that crashed the system are not what we need to return to.

Analogy: Bush drives a bus over the cliff with Obama in the passenger seat. Bush jumps out with a parachute, tosses Obama the keys.... Obama crashes, and Bush's minions call Obama the "Bus Crash President",

"I hope we hear those words repeated a lot".

Wether they are true or not right?

The republican party- where facts are the enemy.

Until you children evolve into more intelligent and caring beings, you will always be the target of corporate America and they will exploit your lack of intelligence. They will also call for the dismantling of public education, so that they can ensure there will be a continuous supply of uneducated voters they can brand as ......Reublicans. You are being had, you are voting against your own interests - and I feel sad for you.

If all of the worlds tragedies are "in God's hands" - how come he never does anything about them?

Starving Children Worldwide? god does nothing to save them
Holocaust? God does nothing to save them
Pearl Harbor? 9/11? God does nothing to save them

If God is so powerful, how come he can only control football games?
