Innocent she&#039; isn&#039;t. Amanda in your final day of judgement Meredith will see justice done.

It also would reduce state property tax levies, certain B&amp;O taxes, and direct any increased revenues to education and health.

Impose a state income tax in addition to the state sales tax. Their commercials are nothing more than a lies and fraud being perpetrated as a middle-class tax cut.

Impose a state income tax in addition to the state sales tax. Their commercials are nothing more than a lies and fraud being perpetrated as a middle-class tax cut. Initiatives 1070, 1073, 1074, 1077, 1078 and 1098 are essentially the exact same bills all authored by Lonnie Lopez. They only reduce the &quot;state&quot; portion of a property owners income tax not the local and county taxes. This isn&#039;t a middle-class tax cut at all for anyone who doesn&#039;t own property. Also, it would only amount to just a few hundred dollars a year difference while opening wide the door as Mr. Schram points out to lowering the income requirements while providing no safeguards to limit future property tax increases at the state or local level.

Stop whining that someone else has more than you and it&#039;s not fair. The government isn&#039;t there to give you something you didn&#039;t earn.... oh wait that&#039;s exactly what the Dems do.

I hope Amanda Knox rots in jail for the full term of her sentence. There is ONLY victim in this situation, Meredith Kercher. Even if AK rots for 26yrs true justice won&#039;t happen until she faces God in judgement.

The facts of the case speak for themselves regardless of the prosecutor. You sympathizers for this murderer never address the facts of the case, you simply try and divert attention away from her involvement by whining about the prosecutor, the judge, the justice system, etc. Fact: Amanda Knox is a murder and she&#039;s facing 26yrs for her crime. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

This is NOT so much a Madonna re-deux as it is ripping off Elton John. Right down to the piano playing. All I can say is yawn... next idiot looking for 15min of fame.

They got their @sses kicked by Iraq for 8yrs and they&#039;ve had to build their own tanks and missiles since the arms embargo. The best they could ever do was to storm the US embassy and take unarmed civilian and gov&#039;t hostages. They are cowards and show it in the face of true strength. They released the hostages only when Regan won the white house and he had been very clear throughout the campaign to resolve the matter militarily once he took office. Likewise, the speedboats that harassed and fired on our Navy were silenced once we started shooting them out of the water. All of this is just a dog and pony show to draw Israel into a fight. Iran is sitting back thumbing it&#039;s nose at the US, Israel and the civilized world. They want to provoke Israel into attacking as a means to justify all out war in the middle east as retaliation. Israel is smart to sit back and play it cautiously and be prepared if Iran makes the first move. An ounce of prevention would be great though if spineless Obamy would nut up and get Iran inline starting with a full naval blockade.

If she is eventually charged I&#039;ll put good money that the excuse will be &quot;steroids made her do it&quot;.

Right along the side the the majority of Americans who also pay the same. In the free market individuals and businesses take their income and put it to work in the economy, which leads to job creation and more opportunity for all. The gov&#039;t takes it through taxes and consolidates it under their control to redistribute as they see fit, on unions, pork projects and wasteful spending (e.g. 400Mil for abortions over seas, mandated health coverage, etc.). That stifles the economy, forces people and business to invest less, spend less and grow our economy less keeping unemployment high. If you&#039;re unemployed and struggling I&#039;m sorry, I was too for many months and we almost lost our home. If you want a strong economy and greater opportunity then you should be voting republican, because the tax and spend dems aren&#039;t going to do anything more than send you another unemployment check, while squandering our nations resources.

The only way to inject capital back into the economy is through tax cuts plain and simple. Bloated spending bills and public union pandering will never get our economy moving.

He was just another a junkie loser that took his own life. Grunge lasted all of 5min and by &#039;94 their music was doomed to just as unseemly an end and in my opinion he couldn&#039;t handle it. So why not go out as a tragic hero rather than a has-been junkie?

Just a few more weeks until the beginning of the end of all the liberal/dumbocrat attacks on American free enterprise. Are you listening Patty Murray? As the song says.. hey, hey, hey good bye...

A speedy trial and a quick execution would be the start of justice in this case.

Are saying that if someone leaves a will that says, &quot;so-and-so may have intercourse with my corpse&quot; then it should be legal or acceptable? Mutual consent has never been the basis for right and wrong or for legal and illegal definitions. We collectively pass laws to govern people&#039;s conduct for the purpose of having a civil society. In no civilized society in the world is necromancy, cannibalism, etc allowed. To consider it someone has to be seriously disturbed.
