"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Yeah thanks Adam -- one of the most rediculous and devisive statements ever uttered by a president, and by a president that liked to call himself the "uniter" at that! Good Lord Adam. Do you think that under Bush the parties worked together? Hahhaahahhaah...

No Alice, when did Bush utter that quote? You think maybe it's possible you are wrong, and thinking of this: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."?

I have a rather unique thought. How about not allowing a legislator vote on a bill if they have not read it. I wonder if Mr. Kind read the cap trade bill before he voted for it. Does anyone know?

I would like to find some representatives who are not arogant enough to think they can control the weather, and also be able to use common sense when it comes to the economy. I would also like the media to go back to reporting on both sides of view and not one sided opinions. Investigative reporting seems to gone down the drain. I would also like a balance to come to Washington, the founding fathers put into place this system because it is supose to balance the radical views of both sides. Will this happen, only time will tell. Until then we now have 20 appointed Czars in our country. Can we call them, talk to them, get reports from them, no they only report to the President the man who appointed them. I wonder how much they get paid? I also wonder what their function will be, and the outcome of their work. Somehow I feel more threaten by this administation than any other I have lived under. And what happens when we question this administration some one always as a last resort pulls the race card...which still exists to keep people in their place. Sad state of affairs. When after all of the years of the civil rights movement people are still defined by the color of their skin. The census will be and eye opener this coming year as the definitions of ethnicity become more and more pronounced.

Tom as I have stated before...time to move foreward. I have gone Independent. Government has gotten so big, they make bills which commit us to Trillions of dollars of spending at their whim. The tarp money from last year has hardly been touched. Ron Kind is going to offer the small businesses who create most of our tax base pennies, compared to the trillions our government spent to aquire the auto industries. You can look back and fall for the hate tactics our government uses to make you dance by. If you look at the both sides of our two party system, hate is what is generated for each election. Then they have worked together to make government bigger and bigger. Like I said before the 4th of July is called Independence day for a reason, It is the day America became free from an oppressive government. The term monkey dance was a reference to the circus and the chimps....Obama is just a puppet for the rich white democrats which the foolish man never came to understand has kept him and his people enslaved and in poverty all during the civil rights movement. To bad your mind is in the race baiting show. We have just gone through the greatest economic growth period in our nations history, and they are still in their place. Why? Because it is a business to be a non profit and help the down trodden. Now take off your rose colored glasses and see the world the way it really is, not a nice place. It will be interesting to see what strings are going to be attached to Ron Kinds free interest loan money for small business. I personally would not go near that offer, my banker found out how the government works with the government loan money loaned to the banks at 5 percent interest, which they now can not pay back, due to the strings the puppet master has put into place. The strings change everytime they try and pay the money back. More change, as the circus moves through our country. It is nice to see your are back but relax a little. I write my opinion as you write yours, If you wish to attack the Republicans write them. Also do a little research on the ACORN 8, they tell a great story about oppression and who really got rich from the "progressive" tactics used to help the oppressed poor.

http://correspondents.theatlantic.com/conor_clarke/2009/06/what_socialism_looks_like.php As per your link....If the United Stated Government only has Nationalized .21 percent of the countries business assets....Why was bill after bill declared an "emergency" to save businesses that were to big to fail?. Remember the link you sent said point 21 percent. Because of point 21 percent Obama has created such a hysteria of emergency bills our country is now 11 trillion in debt. I see a problem here bigger than I thought....Thanks for the update.

I have no problem paying for service's you mentioned to keep an industrialized nation running. I do have a problem paying for the government to take over industries that have failed because of goverment regulations. GM should of been allowed to fail, GM would of been taken over a year ago by one of the other car companies, instead we have wasted Billions of dollars of taxpayer money to have govermental industrializaion. Bank's also came to the position they are in due to government regulations. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac are classic examples. Now Ron Kind is offering interest free 35,000 dollar loans to small business with the taxpayer paying the interest. Not much ching for the small business when you look at the billions of dollars of taxpayer money the government spent to aquire GM. http://www.sba.gov/recovery/arcloanprogram/index.html

Of course the parties worked together when Bush was President...The democrats funded Bushes war and Bush let them create their progressive agenda. Obama is stupid, because he is trying a plan for spending which failed in every country when it has been tried. Obama thinks he is Robin Hood, the only problem is he is destroying the people who create the weath, which only increases the number of poor. Smart economics would be to create jobs which increase the tax base, not create more government jobs which drain the tax base. Social Security depends soley on the people who increase the tax base, as with every government program. Ron Kind is stupid because he keeps voting for plans of change without reading the bills. I can not see how he can make "smart" decision, when he does not even know what is in the bill. Would you vote without information, or take out a loan without knowing the terms? Ron Kind does this with our laws, freedoms and rights? Isn't this what the 4th of July is about, being free from an oppressive government which taxed us with out representation? Ron Kind is not a representative because he is not doing his job, he is a puppet for change....Next time Ron try reading the bill.
