I'll say it again...he's the ONLY one up there who truly cares - about this country..... SM

He has always been for small government, which neither the republicans OR democrats want to hear!

He has always spoken about FREEZING the pay of congressman... you never see anyone jumping on that. When he left congress the first time, he NEVER took the pay with him that the others have. He was pushed to come back, which he did, and then and ONLY then has he taken the pay. When he is gone again, that pay will not go with him.

He's right on the bail outs as well. Getting rid of the Federal Reserve is something none of the liberal yahoo democrats want to hear about, and I sure haven't seen the republicans wanting it gone either. Get rid of the illegal federal reserve, and this country and other countries would be seeing some glorious times!

Not a thing he has said EVER I could disagree with.....

Employment rate actually 31%...not what Obama - wants you to believe! nm

In Mar was at 21%
http://www.opednews.com/articles/-Today-is-a-Big-Day-in-Ame-by-Grant-Lawrence-100306-129.html

I haven't hear it at 31%, but in our town its 29%, in the next largest town it's at 25%

I see articles stating in Jan it was over 22% and others stating over 18.7%.

All I know is it's actually higher than what this administration is telling people.

And what is worse is there is no hope in sight. No plans to get people back to work, nothing. Just plans to keep making the politicians richer. Man, do I need to change careers. LOL.

you're right but you're spinning too hard - sm - sssdt

The actual unemployment rate is ALWAYS higher than reported. Many people don't qualify as unemployed because they're labeled as "homemakers", and many others drop off the unemployment list after being on it for a very long time.

You're trying to spin this as an Obama administration thing, but it's a criticism every administration since at least Reagan has gotten. It's an open secret the figures are skewed, but no one has tried to fix anything.

Obviously you haven't watched anything...... - try actually doing some research.....NM

Wow....there you go with GB again... shouldn't you - stop obsessing on him so? sm

[ In Reply To ..]
For that matter, you're obsessing with all you just mentioned. We don't bring them up but you sure do ALL THE TIME!

You're actually so ignorant to the issues you hear Palin's name mentioned and you think everyone listens to Palin. You hear GB's name mentioned, and you think everyone listens to GB. You need to give yourself a rest on those folks. And Limbaugh...are you as obsessed with him as GB? You really got a thing for those 2 guys don't you?

We can get our info from many places, not them. I suggest you try doing the same...

Ron Paul for President!!! - imho

I truly believe this may be the one guy who believes he is in office FOR the people and not for himself.

Hey!!! Isn't that how "government" was set up in the beginning?? For us??

I have voted for him in the past, and I'll vote for him again. I don't think he's blowing smoke. And God knows we need somebody in the big office who actually believes in this country again.

It's the style that is GB. The conspiracy theories and suspicion, and - spinning

[ In Reply To ..]
things so far off the chart that the posts could literally be taken from GB's entertainment programs. And, the fact that you are so defensive is very telling. It's obvious who listens to Beck whether you like it or not. The influence shines through in your posts.

Since you have to say something every time someone mentions him, you should take your own advice.

You are absolutely, right, amen, and ditto! - On all counts! nm

President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden. According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he'll now make $231,900 per year. Members of Congress, from the House and Senate, also will receive a little bump, as their annual salary will go from $174,000 to 174,900.

If they're not monitoring communications, how could they say there is no evidence of collusion? If the FBI is involved (as we know they are) then Obama's Justice D ...
