I don't care if you call him a kraut, I am just saying If you average it out it probably cost us over a billion dillars for every time she banged her beloved gavel over the two year period. I will not soon forget her walk of shame through the teapartiers with her giant gavel. the smirk on her face saying I know 70 percent of the country is against this but I wanted it and I got it, so there. Also her arogance saying we had to pass the health care bill to see what is in it. She was pure self serving evil in my mind. So far Boehner is sticking fairly true to his pledges. I personally dont feel bad for the dems being shut out from amending the healthcare repeal, because that is exactly how they passed it. I feel my money is in far better hands. As for the crying, it is wierd and I would not want him to run for president because of it, but isn't that exactly what the femanazi's were saying they wanted in a man through the 70's and 80's?

whats up with that dude in Arizona? he's pissed off, them boys all run around with guns....shoulda plugged him on the spot. same sht with Saddaam, take the fckn money and drop a grenade down in that rat hole.....where's the justice? or is that due process?

btw, the Yugoslavian made ak-47 does take the 5.62mm .223 round. unlike its counterpart Russian made which takes the 7.62 .308 might be a little off on the MM's though....either way, if you get hit by either one, its gonna hurt

Hey this is AMERICA! Yugoslavian? Russian? Don't forget Chinese make damn good weapons! The SKS takes 7.62 and has 80 round drums so you don't need great aim.

Good decision Eric, I do the same thing. I go to the locally owned hardware store, the locally owned tire store, do some shopping at the neighborhood market, etc. It will be a wasteland of box stores if we let the local guys all go out of business. I rarely go to Walmart, in fact over the past few years it's generally when I need something at off hours when they are the only place open.

He is your run of the mill nut Job, based on what I have heard and my 25 years as a Paramedic, I would guess paranoid Schizophrenia. Very scarry people. I Feel bad for all involved, I hope he does not get off easy because he is "sick" this guy shot a nine year old girl in the chest, not that any one target is really more or less tragic, but anyone with kids and most without know how precious and fragile they are, this guy is pure evil and needs to go away forever, one way or another.
The fact that within hours the usual suspects were using this for political gain is sickening. You would think the media, and big mouth elected officials would have some shame, but they jumped in full force with no facts before the blood was dried on the sidewalk. What is wrong with people?

Good question. I agree, not the time to talk politics. From everything I've read Congresswoman Giffords is a genuinely good, caring person. A federal judge is killed, a 9 year old, a political staffer, a dozen people wounded. What kind of animal does something like that? If only the coward had enough guts to turn the Glock on himself we wouldn't have to go through a trial, I'm not interested in hearing a word the guy utters.

Sorry but I still love my walmart, they provide competition that keeps things cheap for all of us. I went to my newly remodeled walmart for the first time yesterday, It is the new version that looks like a big blue Target Greatland. Now that they have Kmart down for a ten count Target is clearly in their sights. Whoops, I can't say that anymore or I am advocating a killing spree. Wait a minute, their company logo is a target? What does that mean? Are they in with Sarah Palin? Are they promoting violence? Political correctness is all so confusing.

OMH, I am very very surprised at you.....they are providing a Monopoly and knocking every small business around them out.
once they are the only one stop shop, they will name their own prices. really, I know for a fact that their food is at the same price as everyone else if not more. when it comes to a nickle Im Johnny on the spot, My wife will sneak there with her mother and I will look at the reciept, just an everyday item like milk is a dollar more than where i normally shop.....
really do some comparisons and post, I think its just a matter of you get the deer in the headlight look when you walk in there....80 fcn registers and 2 trailer queens working them, ask one of them how proud they are to be a Walmart employee...to me it boils down to corporate America in 1930, I wouldnt be surprised that one day it will be owned by the reds when Mr. Waldo sells out, like the Annheiser family....take your money and fcn run

My thoughts exactly. I try to avoid Walmart. Unfortunately, If I'm out and need a waterhose, a steak, a bar of soap and a universal remote, Walmart is where i'd go. I hate every step I take in there though and would rather it not exist

What Eric says about Walmart pricing is very true. On a diesel site I follow a few guys were touting oil prices at "Wally World", you could buy Rotella cheaper than anywhere, etc. I checked and they were right - it was a dime a quart cheaper than Autozone, but a few other brands were cheaper at Autozone. Now I realize Autozone is a national chain too, but I can be in and out in 1 minute, know a couple people behind the counter, and like buying auto parts at an auto parts store, not a clothing/food/tools/furniture/toy store.

I know defending walmart is not a popular thing to do but they say whether you shop at walmart or not, just having them in the market saves the average american family 2 grand a year, I am thankful for that because I do not have an extra 2 grand lyiing around. Not to back pedal but they are one of many stores I patronize. I do not buy groceries ther because they rarley have everything I want and I do not want to shop twice. When you shop you have to do your homework about pricing, and I do patronize my favorite neighborhood shops to keep them around. I understand where you guys are coming from. To each his own.

and you fell for that marketing Bull***************????????? 2 grand a year? thats probably based on a family of 8, 5 cars in the drive...and worst case scenario.
I did see this show coupon wars, the guy spent 180 bucks on 5700.00 worth of food, but i thought to myself, what the hell is this guy going to do with 400 bottles of hand soap, if it was Hollywood i could understand.
Im going to try this weekend to randomly pick 10 items and go to walmart and to my local Giant Eagle, if you guys list 10 food items so I wont be bias I will check the prices, of course it will be with whatever each store offers on double coupons or rebates...make sure its brand name, lets start with A-1, and oreos

Eric, I have never heard walmart market the 2 grand thing, I believe it was an economists estimate. As I said, I do not shop walmart for food, they do have some bargains on merchandise but so much is private branded that you will have a hard time comparing directly. My guess is walmarts cheapest hooded sweatshirt is less expensive than Targets, but quality is likely lower also.

I heard Donald Trump Interviewed on the radio today. He sounded very presidential and had some Interesting ideas on foriegn policy including billing to fight wars for other countries. (Acutally a 20 year reimbursment schedule.) It would be worth the vote for him just to hear his victory speech. "Barack...Your fired"

I wouldn't want Trump. Beyond the personality, the guy has failed in business nearly as many times as he's succeeded, goes bankrupt and moves on. Not a great business mind at all.

And we all know any barefooter that has fallen is no good.....except the ones that learn from the fall and get back up to master it. I will take someone that failed and learned over an Obama that had never been behind the boat (Tuber at best).

I am no longer so nieve to think any politician isnt out at least partialy for themselves, my guestion is "Is what is good for them also good for the country?" I have to think a strong economy, strong dollar, low oil costs, low unemployment are all good for the Donald.
