OK, now I've got a question. Why is it wrong to want Obama to fail? I hope he fails at his attempt for a national health plan. I hope he fails at his attempts to raise taxes. I believe he is failing in his handling of the auto and finance industries.

Wanting policies you wholeheartedly disagree with to fail seems logical to me. Is it only wrong because we're all supposed to love Obama?

Because. It's saying you want the country to go down in a ball of flames.

It's ridiculous to not raise taxes. Bush handed out tax cuts that weren't paid for. Well, now we need that money. Taxes under Reagan were higher than they are today, and he was the darling of the republican party. Why do people think they should just not have to pay any taxes? It's ludicrous.

So you want health care to continue the way it has been? Great. We'll be #67th in the world before long, instead of #37th. Regardless of what people think, and like to chant like a mantra, we do not have anywhere NEAR the best health care in the world.

Mark Kirk is the least of our worries SP

This is surely just a misunderstanding of some type. Nothing to it. Completely innocent. Not_a_thing to be concerned with.

None of the mainstream media are covering it so that means...it's not a problem. Or better yet, it's a fake story dreamed up by Fox News.
