They all promise something for next to nothing. The reason that the poor seem to be victimized by this is that they keep doing the things that make them poor, like spending a large portion of their meager earnings on pie in the sky things like lottery tickets. Each lottery ticket sold decreases your chance of winning exponentially.

They can tell you who got to stay on American Idol, but don't even know who their US Reps or Senators are, Let alone their state legislators. The government controlled media keeps them ignorant intentionally. When is the last time you read in a paper or heard on the local news about what your state legislators did that day? unless it was something that really twists the liberal panties, never! Roughly 80% percent of the country doesn't even turn up to vote on state & local issues, and only 33% show up to vote on Federal ones. I blame this on the media, and foremost on our crap education system we have now. The kids coming out of high school now can tell you the life history of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, but don't have a clue who Andrew Jackson or Thomas Jefferson were. And think Che Guevara was a patriot freedom fighter.

And from my experience these "Legal" Hispanics are primarily conservative in nature. One of the most irrefutable arguments to the premise of "Hispanics pouring out to vote Democrat" is that a very huge percentage of them that can legally vote, have voiced support of this law and consequently Gov. Brewers poll ratings have taken a considerable jump.

I just hope nothing happens to him because we all know who will get the blame, and it won't be the SEIU thugs Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:03:38 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/jhoft/2010/04/28/team-obama-calls-out-swat-team-on-tea-party-patriots/#IDComment71190266 http://biggovernment.com/bthor/2010/04/14/sos-red-alert-new-york-times-about-to-put-american-troops-in-deadly-peril/#IDComment68030469 When are folks going to wake up? The CIA has been infested with UN and CFR operatives for years. I don't mean the folks actually doing the work (Heros All!!), but their management, political appointees and their cronies like the NYT. Like most of the Government at ALL Levels, from city to Federal, the CIA needs to be fumigated, then turned back over to the Military.

And what gives you any idea that the UN would produce an unbiased report? Their hatred and disdain of Israel is evident everyday. We are done here, your opinions are not self generated based on knowledge, but just parroting someone else work.

The Israelis then agreed with the UN, US and Britain to take the Palestinians back, and put them in Gaza along the Egyptian border. The rest is tedious UN bickering and a few more Arab Israeli wars where the Arabs lost more territory, West Bank, Golan Heights, etc. The PLO and Hamas and other terrorist orgs have been waging terrorist warfare on Israel and the rest of the world ever since. The Israelis have never attacked any of these other countries first, they have responded to attacks and kicked the attackers behinds. Try reading a real history book and not some made up crap off of the net.

I get a Real charge out of all the people slamming Israel for defending its self. Invaders, that's one of the nuttiest thing I've heard lately! since when is it an invasion to build homes in your own country? I would wager that none of the posters here, both positive & negative have ever stepped foot in Israel, where do you get off saying that you know anything about what it's like there? believing what media pundits & wannabe reporters tell you is asking to be mislead. I have been to Israel several times, (I was engaged to an Israeli gal) if the Palestinian terrorists would stop trying to kill Israelis there would be no problems, the simple fact is they do not want to live peacefully with Israel or they would have melded into the society like all the rest of people that immigrated there, long ago.

Per Article 1 Sec 7. The insurance companies have been raising rates to a) override increased costs b) to compensate for the number of people dropping coverage because of unemployment, or other hardships (foreclosure), and companies dropping employer provided insurance to cut costs, in order to stay in business. c) in some cases it's just greed on the part of the executives and shareholders, (they lost their butts on the stock market dump too). Even if people don't have coverage, they are still allowed care at hospitals, that by law can't turn them away, The cost of this care is passed on to the providers insurance company, which in many cases are the same ones that lost the people as premium payers. This opens another can of worms, too many insurance companies have been generating their revenue from the stock exchange and other financial gambles instead of innovating & and marketing real products, and improving them and their services.

This bipartisanship BS is going to destroy our country and needs to stop Now!!. As to a covenant even if they do one they will break it within days if not hours after they sign it, and even if they don't it's not legally binding on any of them, even if it's deemed legal to start with, which I doubt re: Article I Sec.6 Clause1, and even if legal it would not be binding on the next crop of RINO's to come into office unless they too sign it.
