You didn build that !

Now that the seal has been broken, stories that have been in orbit for four years are falling like his poll numbers. We could have a perfect storm...

in Sacramento CA "the homeless" as they are known here sleep by the rivers. They sleep in the brush and trees by the confluence of the American River and the Sacramento River, they sleep in the American River Parkway. They camp there with tents and their belongings year after year after year...the Republican Mayor just sends the Park Rangers in to roust the homeless from their camps in the bushes and sends them off to find another place, the churches are full and can't help anymore, no one helps them to get off the street it's a pretty sorry situation. They confiscated and threw all of their stuff in the trash only to be sued and then have to cut checks to them for taking their stuff illegally. There are soup lines here. These people just want a place to stay/camp since thats all they've got. There are hundreds if not thousands of them. They were on Oprah in fact. But still nothing is done no solution even tried.

During the Depression the gov built camps with cabins to house homeless people so that they could get cleaned up and get employed again when jobs came once again. It allowed them some dignity.

We all know war is just the government spending money it does not have, 2 unpaid for wars are a huge part of why the deficit is as bad as it is.

Just curious, but do you think we should be at war with Iran? with Libya? with ??? and if so how would that help our economy? do you think it might affect gasoline prices negatively? and in turn crush what has begun as the economy sputters back to life?

The 23 million was fact checked and it is 12 million.
Both candidates are liars, I mean they are politicians afterall.

You dig? boy.

The only reason the number went down is because time ran out. Once layed off or unemployed and your 99 weeks is up your just not counted. There is not less people unemployed ( which is why there were only 114,000 jobs) There are less people collecting. That is no improvement!

We have programs for the poor and uninsured. there is a certain percentage of those that just cannot or will not apply/comply with the programs despite every effort to help them.

It was not us being at war that helped jumped started our economy. It was Europe being at war and needing our products. I have stated many times I am not a foreign policy guy. I don't like war. I think the best way to avoid it is to be the biggest strongest baddest @$$ in the room. Sometimes you have to make an example of someone to keep that reputation. If someone flies planes into your sky scrappers, whoop them soundly.

Do you feel that a veteran should have all the same rights as every American?

Whoops, my bad. I have been reading to many government spending stories.

Wasteful government spending story of the day.


We spent 150 million tax payer money to build a battery factory for the Chevy volt. Obama attended the ground breaking touting this. "You are leading the way in showing how manufacturing jobs are coming right back here to the United States of America,” Obama told workers at the ground-breaking ceremony. “Our goal has never been to create a government program, but rather to unleash private-sector growth. And we're seeing results.”
The factory was to employ hundreds but they are now furloughing workers and have yet to sell a battery. The few batteries Chevy is buying are from South Korea.
It is a little hard to sell higher taxes when they go to support Obama's gambling losses.


150 million to build Volt battery factory.

wasteful spending of the millinium, 455 billion a year, being a bully, let our people starve and blame it on something else like a battery factory....gettig kinda use to the blame game

Eric I believe that is a cumulative figure, and it represents approx one third of Obama's deficit his first year. When will you acknowledge the bigger portion of the problem? Despite the war spending being deficit spending Obama is already discussing how to spend the "saving's" as if they are money in the bank. You use the deficit as a reason to end wars. but it is clear the deficit is not your real concern. For the record I don't think we belong in a lot of these skirmishes either, especially not without a clear objective and an a long term commitment to win. In other words you don't bomb Libya and help take out its leader without figuring out who will fill the vacuum of power. As we have seen that leads to a ambassador and marine deficit.

Hi Dave,

The LG Chem battery plant that you linked to is in my hometown. Maybe you should balance Fox New's coverage with that of the local newspaper, which itself leans rather right. It is not as cut and dried as Fox would have you believe.

Holland Sentinel LG Chem Article

Even with furloughing people the construction of the facility alone was ~$300 million, most of which went to construction workers in Michigan. Probably some people I know. I'm sure they're happy about that. And I bet you would be too.

Perfect, so as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others, Agreed:
So you do support gay marriage then, it certainly does not infringe on anyone elses rights. Romney does not feel veterans should have the right to pursue happiness.

What does being a veteran have to do with the gay marriage issue?

"What ever makes you happy , as long as it doesnt hurt anyone else" is part of the moral decay in the US.

Why should gays not be allowed/have the right to get married?
(Just the sheer number of gay marriages could do alot to help the economy.)

There have always been gays in the military, so there are gay veterans who would like to be allowed to marry the person of their choice. How does that hurt/infringe on anyone else?

I'm not about to get into that debate. This is the way it's been framed in Maine: If you're not for it, you're against it and if you're against it, then you're a hateful biggot. All the poles are showing a slight lead for it to pass.
