I am getting really tired of the whole thing. Whats the whole thing? The damm congress. First it was the republicans who locked out the Dems. Now its the other way around in the midst of a . Yes its a crisis, but I will never buy into its a natural one. You know, like we have no effect on global warming.

This BS about we won does nothing for us. Not for me anyways. And if there is no compromise on the Presidents bill then we are sunk for the next 4 years politically. Dissappointment is starting to reign supreme. Not in the new president, but in how the current crisis will be resolved. I will never understand how the tag team of Pelosi and Reid got to stay in their positions past the 5 day mark.

The Congress will pull down Obama's administration. Make no mistake about it. As I alluded to before, I do not for a second thing this crisis is a naturally occuring one. It was contrived to come to a head at the end of Bush's term. And not just for Obama, but for the banks and Wall Streets benefit. And lets face that fact too, Wall street and the banks dont give a crap about anything to do with us.

We now are finding a plethora of not only potential administration candidates being behind in their taxes but also large corporations as well.

These are the same corporations that are receiving bailout money from our taxes. Not only from our taxes but I am sure from borrowed money and the interest on that borrowing that we pay through our taxes as well.

WASHINGTON – At least 13 firms receiving billions of dollars in bailout money owe a total of more than $220 million in unpaid federal taxes, a key lawmaker said Thursday.

Rep. John Lewis, chairman of a House subcommittee overseeing the federal bailout, said two firms owe more than $100 million apiece.

"This is shameful. It is a disgrace," said Lewis, D-Ga. "We are going to get to the bottom of what is going on here."

The House Ways and Means subcommittee on oversight discovered the unpaid taxes in a review of tax records from 23 of the firms receiving the most money, Lewis said as he opened a hearing on the issue.

This entire situation is pure insanity. My thoughts on this go well past just the taxes and the bailout money. We are partially in this position because of the Bush administration's need to go to war and spend money that we didn't have that could have been spent on our own infrastructure and within our own country. Sound like a contradiction? Of course it is. The taxes we pay the paydown just the interest on the trillions that are being borrowed to pay for the wars of George W. Bush could be being used to bail out these insane companies. Insane because of the fact of their excesses, policies and spending around the world that have put the United States in jeopardy. The United States is comprised of people. The people are paying for these corporations excesses. The fact of the matter is that the people of the United States should never ever be put in a position again to be at the mercy of financial institutions. This is a crime. Will the criminals go to prison? Oh hell no. No one will go to prison because they are rich. Do baseball players go to prison? No. They are rich.

The Congress of the United States no matter who was then in the majority has went right along with this situation. I am not sure if it's the governments responsibility to tell companies that you are now going past the limits of sensibility into insanity.

It is obvious that corporations like AIG are a detriment to the country. Not only a detriment of a threat to this country. How many other corporations are so intertwined in the world finances that they can bring the greatest country in the world to its knees?

Not only how many other corporations, but what are we going to do about it? What will our representatives do about it? Only do the usual and follow whatever the corporations want him to do or will they recognize it's a crisis and that their reelection bids are possibly in jeopardy? On a daily basis or government is sold to the highest bidder or whatever corporation can put the most leverage on them. The fact that these international corporations can threaten the livelihood of the government of the United States and the people of the United States is appalling and cannot be tolerated. This is corporate blackmail upon the people of the United States and the government of the United States.

In the last eight years regulation of these corporations and others have been loosened and thrown by the wayside. It is readily apparent that government intervention in the corporate world is absolutely mandatory as corporations have no intention of regulating themselves in doing what is right both for themselves and for their country. The fact that corporations exist on the back of working people have seen to escape them, and in doing their best to ensure that the American worker is not working is a self-fulfilling method to an end.

One of the best examples of corporate leverage as the facts that in 1970 we recognize that we could be held hostage by the petroleum providing countries. In the last 39 years the progress made by the auto companies and by the United States in the area of alternate energy has practically been zero. The late President Bush did his best to kill progress in that area to bow to the money that put him there.

I encourage everyone to write to their congressmen to ensure that corporate regulation or oversight as required is put into place in laws written pertaining to the depth at which American corporations can put this country at risk.

This post has nothing to do with the actual person chosen simply becuase I know nothing about her or her past.

Instead, this has much more to do with the bullshoi gone through to select and approve a person for the lifetime post of Supreme Court Judge. As far back as I can remember the whole system has smelled bad. Each party wants to know if the person will or will not succumb to their own impressions of the law. Nay, not even impressions of the law, more like of each parties idiology or platform. The selection of a SC Judge seems to be used for fulfilling a partys line much more than does that person have the experience to state the law as it should be stated.

I will never understand why the president of the United States is the one who picks the Supreme Court justice. This is a position where the candidate must be blind to party affiliations, and I don't see how that can happen when a president picks a person most closely aligned with his own views. And then the Congress proceeds to tear that person apart to ensure that they adhere to their views. The Democrats and Republicans both turn this into a circus event with themselves in center ring.

But if a justice was not picked on the president, who would pick them? No one knows these people so if we had to vote for one it would be a shot in the dark. Nor is this to say that bad choices have been made in the past. And God forbid that we let the Senate or the House of Representatives picks that person. It would never end.

I am hoping that the current Obama pick will not turn this into a minority leaning term. The fact that the lady is a Hispanic lineage seems to make the Hispanic community thinks that things will suddenly start going their way. And that is not how the system is supposed to work. I am happy with the fact that the court now in some way represents the melting pot of the United States, but I hope that the people who think that they are about to get special treatment understand that justice is blind to the color of your skin or two where you come from.

Sir;

I respectfully request that Rep Joe Wilson be censured by the Republican party and by the House of Representatives.

When Mr. Wilson shouted out "Liar", he knew full well he was lying. House Bill 3200 specifically says, in section 246 under the heading, quote:No federal payment for undocumented aliens." IN CAPITAL LETTERS.

I am sick and tired of 1. The republican party's actions and deceitful statements concerning the health care issue. 2, The fact that the only leadership of the republican party seems in mass confusion. and unsure if it should be on television or in congress. and 3, the fact that the republican party seems to have to pander to the corporate health care company's when it is well known there will be no competition, no lowering of costs and no dropping of pre-existing conditions. You Sir, are supporting a dead horse as far as the welfare of Americans is concerned.

In fact I am getting sick and tired of the two party system and am all for holding off elections until at least 4 partys can be presented to Americans as equals.

When Bush was in office the lies rained down so fast and hard that you had to put plastic over your head. Yet to my knowledge no Democrat shouted out to Bush that he was a liar on public TV. I beg you to stand up as a party and stop this arrogance and show America that the current party is NOT the real party of Republicans.

As a fellow citizen of the state of Tennessee, I demand public censure for Joe Wilson.

Sir. Today is 9/11. 8 Years of unnecessary war and vast spending have plagued the people of the US. We have not gotten the people responsible, In fact they are stronger now than ever. After your approvals of all the borrowing and spending by GWB, Health care for America should be a pittance. Please end the BS coming from the Republican party. And do not think that I dont feel the same towards the Democrats becuase I do.

I will recognize that there are strong, proper and pertinent statements being made by responsible Republicans. They are however, overshadowed by the right wing media loons and irresponsible people like Joe Wilson.

After Joe Wilson Called Obama a liar, and now thats its proven Joe Wilson was the liar, The people of Wilson's home town are calling the resolution of disapproval a victory.

They wander about saying that as long as the Democrats talk about Joe they are not talking healthcare. They dont have the presence of mind to understand this news will be old in 3 days.

And I say this proves republicans are about the most useless group of people on this planet, Including the Taliban. And I very seldom capitalize the taliban name. To support a man who called another man a liar, while he was the one lying to start with is simply proving that the health of the nations people OR the health of its politics is never an issue with them. The politics of GWB are alive. Liars abound in the republican party plain and simple.

This is the concern of the republicans:

GOP campaign operatives in the state argue that the vote will give Wilson yet another chance to raise money and rally party activists ahead of next year's election in the conservative-leaning 2nd Congressional District, which hasn't voted for a Democrat in 46 years.

It is apparent to me that republicans are not worthy of ever holding office in this country again.

Katon Dawson, the former chairman of the South Carolina Republican party said

"I think it would be a tremendous asset to Joe Wilson's re-elect for the Congress to try to censure him or do something to him," Dawson said. "I find it hilarious that they're spending so much time on him."

he never once addressed the representatives actions or the fact that he was the one lying.

There may be some light behind the tunnel walls however.

Dick Harpootlian, the former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, said "the crazy folks, the right wing folks" are already in Wilson's camp, House resolution or not. He said Wilson needs to worry about independent voters instead. "It's another crazy piece of conduct from a Republican in this state," he said. "I think the independent voter out there is saying, 'What the hell? Why is this guy screaming at the President of the United States?'"

Anyone with a drop of intelligence will know where to stand on the actions of this congressman. The Independents are STILL Independents.

Republicans have become the vilest creatures on earth. No longer necessary
