I think the movie Robocop and the corrupt corporatist's portrayed in the movie are foreshadowing what the GOP/Koch/religious right wing has in store for us. We must stop them big time in 2014 and take this country back to the people. 90% of the country wants gun background checks and we can't get them. A large percentage wants a infrastructure bill but the corporatist's in the republican party won't allow it. When are people going to get angry and fight back? Do we want our first responders only beholden to wall street who who's only goal is corporate profits at the expense of our state and local communities?Do we even have it in us anymore to fight back?

Remember romney complaining about President Obama - how annoying and expensive to want to add more firefighters and police, and teachers. Naaah, we don't need 'em. More from the "you're on yer own 'cause I don't wanna have to pay for it" society.

I think we should ship all those folks to Somalia and let them build their brave new "you're on yer own" world there. And they can revel in their no taxes/no services/no government/but all the guns you can eat and all the robber barons and pirates you can shoot at, to their - uh - well, I was going to say "to their hearts' content," but I sometimes find it difficult to believe that people who believe this stuff actually HAVE hearts.

"Heart like a BB." My mom used to say that a lot. Sure fits the grover norquist/ayn rand/paul ryan crowd.

public employees' pensions are just too much of a burden. I do not understand that mentality. The pensions are part of the employee's pay-- deferred pay.

I feel that if we could eliminate the fraud, then we wouldn't bitch about it.

Nobody wants to be ripped off just because the budget is too big to control.

I'm IBEW and do support the earned pensions.

how wonderful of you to let us know WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND. and MAYBE WE SHOULD FIND A PICTURE WITH AFRICAN-AMERICANS, ASIANS, HISPANICS AND MAYBE SOME EASTERN EUROPEANS TO SATISFY YOU?
