Reply to Time for revolution in Democrat JoeUser Forums

Hate to tell you but it sure would have. Didn't really like John Kerry either. He seems to be exactly the type I am talking about. He plays at politics, swaying back and forth by the winds of the latest opinion polls. There has not been a really good candidate for President in a long time. I wish this would change. The United States needs a great president to pull us out of the mess we have been led into by our current crop of selfish leaders. I

Time for revolution in Democrat JoeUser Forums

The time for change is upon us. Our country is not changing with the times of the land and our political leaders are abandoning the people of the nation. We the people of the United States must stand up and be heard!!! It is time to throw out all of the politicians who have led us to this sorry state of affairs. I don't just mean the Republicans!!! Lets get some peo

Reply to Health insurance Hell!!!!!!!!!!!! in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

I do agree that a portion of the blame is suit happy idiots who want to just get rich quick of the money from the insurance companies. That is why I suggest creating a board to evaluate suits before they can proceed and fining the idiots if the case is without merit. As for Canadian drugs..... Why can the company afford to sell a drug in Canada for $40.00 but will charge $120.00 for the exact same drug here in the states. Sure the Canadian

Health insurance Hell!!!!!!!!!!!! in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

What has happened with health insurance lately? Why is there such huge jumps in our premiums while there is a very noticable cut in offered and covered services? Insurance companies blame the greedy trial lawyers. Lawyers blame the bumbling doctors. Doctors blame everyone else. The truth seems pretty evident at least to me. They are all to blame. Let's lo

Reply to A living Wage? in Politics JoeUser Forums

You are forgetting a large percentage of the population by leaving out service jobs. It seems we are adding more service jobs to our economy and sending the higher paid jobs overseas. Don't service jobs that do not require tipping deserve a rate of pay that doesn't require 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet? My own boss doesn't seem to think so. I have been without a raise for over 4 years. I may be slightly handicapped but that does not mean that

Reply to Political Ads Suck in Politics JoeUser Forums

Thanx for agreeing, I was thinking I was alone in the universe, vainly trying to avoid the nasty ads. It can be so frustrating seeing ad after ad with nothing but attacks or fluff, no serious discussion of issues or stances.

Gay marraige is already legal in Politics JoeUser Forums

My brain has been in overdrive lately, must have too much time on my hands. Gay marraige has been legal in all states since the earlier part of the last century. The United States Supreme Court ruled that marraige is a fundamental right in the pursuit of happiness in striking down the discriminatory laws that banned marriage between interracial couples. Thus if marra

Political Ads Suck in Politics JoeUser Forums

My mind has been bombarded of late with such useless, mindless and truly disgusting information. I mean political ads. Who doesn't hate them? They carry no significant information, just meaningless drivel. They are such a waste of time. Why can't we ban them all? I know the first amendment protects speach and all but come on this has no political content. Let's make d
