While I do care about my country, I do not see the need to waste my valuable free time (because after he gets done- I will need to work 90 hours a week to pay for it) watching him blow smoke up my rear over a pie in the sky plan that has no hope of working.

Any cell phone that is charged can reach 911. So why are the free minutes required?

"To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes." The healthcare reform part disturbs me but whatever the "other purposes" are disturbs me even more Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:13:51 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/07/14/715-finally-a-peek-at-the-health-care-plan-its-only-1000-pages/#IDComment27340894 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/07/12/713-attorney-general-eric-holder-may-go-after-former-bush-officials/#IDComment27149989 Sad really, that some with their blind hatred of our former President would deem it appropriate to go after those men and women on the front lines who have helped keep us safe during the last 8 years. I wish they would get over it and start paying attention to what their guy is now pulling. The next attack cannot be blamed on Bush. The blame can be placed solidly on the shoulders of those who made our front line defenders to afraid to do their jobs.

"The reich" can afford medical care and medical insurance. "The rich" can pay for their food, gas, heating bills, mortgages and education for their children. "The rich" seem to use fewer services than the rest of us, yet our congress is constantly expecting them to pay for more. I wonder how long it will take "the rich" to move their money and jobs elsewhere and leave the middle class holding the bag?

Korea situation it is the John McCain who will be the one coming to the rescue.... and not the Barack Obama Sun, 21 Jun 2009 00:52:27 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/06/19/620-john-mccain-may-stop-korean-ship-and-we-mean-john-mccain-the-ship-not-the-guy/#IDComment24937915 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/05/13/51409-smokers-drinkers-get-ready-to-pay-for-your-sins/#IDComment21512139 What happens when the government achieves what it wants and controls the decisions we make to the point where no one smokes, drinks alcohol or sugared drinks, eats at McDonalds because of the punishing taxes? Oh, I know- health care costs will go down because we are all engaging in healthier activities so the loss of tax revenue will be made up for by lower healthcare costs... win-win for everyone right? So here is the question that no one will ask.... what about the jobs of the liquor store clerks, soft drink bottlers, fast food employees.... how much will it cost me to support them while they are on welfare/ unemployment?

For a while I was an undecided voter- the last time I was called - during the bank meltdown in September- I was asked who I was leaning towards- when I answered McCain- the pollster said in a very suprised voice- REALLY!? After that, no more phone calls..... HMMMMMM? They were calling us weekly from about Mid June through September- once I expressed a view toward McCain they stopped..... this was Gallup by the way. Sooooo? Biased? I don't really know but it seems a little odd to me. As far as how I feel about the President, I think he is a great guy- I think is heart is probably in the right place. I also feel that 90% of his policies are wrong for our country. I think he is steering us to a place I frankly do not want to go. So, if you polled me today, if you asked if I approved of him personally, I would likely say yes. If you asked him if I approved of his governance I would say heck no. So polls in part depend on the question that has been asked Mon, 4 May 2009 13:31:05 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/05/03/5309-president-obamas-popularity-is-average/#IDComment20642087 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/04/24/42409-what-did-nancy-pelosi-not-know-and-when-did-she-not-know-it/#IDComment19922337 That would be the same one!

I say we write to our representatives and demand they introduce legislation that will tax VP Biden's Social Security income at 90%. I am certain Barney Frank would be more than willing to bring that legislation on the behalf of the American Public.

They are the ones who were and are unpatriotic! Protest the wars all you like, do not, however, disrespect our troops who are honrably fighting in wars that were AUTHORIZED by the congress in accordance with the Constitution.

The April 15 tea parties were about government spending and in part the future tax hikes that will be required to pay for all the spending.... spending that 99% of congress voted on without reading? Maybe I am dense but passing a $700b plus spending bill that has not been read, that is being paid for with borrowed money and must be paid back with tax money is the same thing. If our representation cannot even do the basics of their job and read a bill before voting for it- congress might as well be on the other side of the Atlantic dictating to the little people. The results are the same.

Isolate them, or better yet, stand right next to those respectful pro Obama people and respectfully defend their right to free speech against the nut job ACORN folks Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:29:12 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/news-from-you-2/#IDComment18754572 http://theglennbeck912project.com/2009/04/13/on-obamas-orders-navy-seal-snipers-free-american-sea-captain/#IDComment18667243 Thank god for the Navy SEALS, their training and dedication. Thank goodness the President partially stepped up to the plate and gave an order that allowed the SEALs to do their jobs. Maybe next time, the president can fully step up and order IMMEDIATE action to protect US citizens from harm and not hem and haw for 4 days first? Unfortunately, there will be a next time.

Why doesn't the President just invite children to the Easter Egg Roll? Children do not have sexual preferences or prejudices- reaching out to a child just because his parents are gay is just as wrong as excluding a child for the same reason.

I just wonder by screaming socialism if we are losing some of the more moderate leaning people? Obama supporters seem to get their backs up against the wall when the "s" word is mentioned. I am just trying to point out we spent billions to prevent GM from filing bankruptcy and we are going to wind up there anyway. More people can relate to flushing money down the toilet than they can to grasping the fact that the government is gobbling up private industry.
