Ben Nelson Bucks Party, Helps GOP Block Jobless Aid

I'd vote for that! You have to Republicans in the pocket book for them to do the right thing. Additionally, it is not hard to see others flail about when your people are OK. Something tells me if suddenly NE's unemployment shot up then Old Ben would be singing another tune. He is a very effective politician when it benefits him and his people only.



I do not understand how Senator Ben Nelson can sleep knowing that his vote is destroying families. Unemployment is not a joy even with unemployment insurance. Penniless, it is a nightmare. Two years ago I faced unemployment with no benefits (my benefits ran out I was hired for a new job but it would not start for 3 months) it only lasted 3 months but those were the worst three months of my life. The stress of no income has no descriptive word for me to use. Remember I had a job coming up and it still was hell. I had family supporting me and still it bother me not to earn my own money.



I am sure that 99% of the people who need unemployment insurance would so much rather a job and a sense of more security than a hundred member club of rich people deciding how and whether you will survive this economic crisis. They ought to be ashamed but they are not.

Despite Obama's Lofty Words, Scientific Integrity Rules Are Lagging

Let's see, it is year two and the President who inherited 2 wars, a failing economy, high and climbing unemployment, a messed up bureaucracy, angry constituents, a hostile world, and this year a blown oil well out of control has not kept all of his promises. Dan, I sense your impatience and marked disappointment here. I too, want the President to get it all done yet I understand that he does not have a cape and a phone booth to wa-lah! change into SUPER PRESIDENT able to make 8 years of purposeful deconstruction of government STOP! and become competent, honest, and useful.



I would like President Obama to compromise less about almost everything. I agree that things should be expedited. Science is not only a discipline but an industry, a vital industry to our present and future. Having rules in place to insure scientific integrity concerning political interference is extraordinarily important it simply is not the most important thing at this time. I have worked in governmental bureaucracies before the meetings on constructing rules and policies take too long. I concede that it may be the nature of the beast. The scientists know it that is why they are squealing to you.

Georgia Democratic Candidate Unveils Provocative Ad Featuring Shooting Victim's Mother (VIDEO)

Fanned and faved. The Georgia ad is powerful. As a southerner I know that things like this happen much more frequently than we would believe. A badge and a gun are powerful in America and doubly so in the south. Prosecutor have been known to favor the police over a victim because they rely on the police for their cases and winning is what lawyers on both sides focus on. It is not about justice.



Concerning the unemployed: Write a note to your Senator who voted against extending unemployment letting him or her know that you have indeed made up your mind to vote against them whenever they run for election and enthusiastically work on behalf on their opponent. They could not find it in their interest to vote for your well being and darn-it you can't seem to find it in you to vote for their political well being. Enough of those letters and maybe we can have some movement on extending unemployment.

Van Jones Rails Against 'That Little Idiot Box': Cable News

I agree. I understand the role and function of compromise. What we are now getting as a result is a series of flawed and practically useless laws. Some ideas need to be accepted up front and as is rather than the messes we get from government trying to appease the unappeased. The Civil War would not have needed to be fought if the Founders had not compromised on the humanity of Africans and ended enslavement in this country's beginnings. Some things must not be compromised!

Nevada Tea Party Candidate Sharron Angle Walks Back Comment On 'Taking..Out' Harry Reid (VIDEO)

"Angle spokesman Stacy said in a statement that Reid is "figuring out ways to twist a larger historical statement Angle was making about the origins of separation of church and state. He's doing it because he's terrified of having a real discussion about jobs and the economy."



Senator Harry Reid may frustrate the heck out of me with his approach to getting things done but, I would never ever think of him as terrified. I certainly don't think he should be terrified of the lady running against him. Why does she smile while saying such creepy things?

Matt Taibbi's Lara Logan Takedown: 'Lara Logan, You Suck'

Who is Lara Logan? The reason I like Rachel Maddow is because she asks the tough questions I as a citizen want my reporters to ask. I am sorry for McCrystal because he seems to be a true believer but, COIN is an awful war strategy and thanks to Mr. Hastings I have a good idea as to why.



Who needs more talking heads on teevee mouthing the party line rather than telling us the truth? With lives at stake it is imperative to have sharp questions being asked by the fourth estate who are supposed to ask them because we the people generally don't get to ask them ourselves.



Who is Lara Logan and why should I believe what she says?

It's the Jobs, Stupid

"the Administration's reticence on the jobs issue is the reported counsel of the White House political staff that the public cares more about deficit-reduction than about jobs. "



What are they smoking? It is JOBS! Jobs is what we need. Infrastructure is where they are needed. WPA and CETA jobs are needed. Frankly, we could do with going back to MAKING things...REAL things unlike derivatives. We don't even make bullets here any more!



Mr. President, FIRE anyone who is telling you deficits are of more concern than jobs... they are lying.



Workers pay TAXES! Taxes fill the treasury and from there we pay our bills including the massive interest from 8 Bush years when deficits seemed not so bad at by Republicans.



Buck-up sir! Go out on the stump and keep saying what America needs most now are jobs!



I'm not voting for anyone regardless of level of government or even political party unless there are talking about acting on bringing jobs to America for Americans. We need the money.



We need a WPA AND CETA types programs now! Spend the money on getting Americans back to work!

Michael Hastings, Rolling Stone's McChrystal Profiler, Says Troops Are Happy That General Was Ousted

The Russians were right! It is well past time to get out of Afghanistan. When Americans learn to spell the country's name correctly then it is time to leave. Our billions of war dollars can be spent on JOBS, making things, selling real things, and learning.



How about funding oil drilling/producing/tanker crashing accident equipment and procedures development? I would rather spend money there than on a war we don't understand why we are losing or worse why we are there anyway.

Please Mr. President, cut that sucker loose. Tell Karzai COIN is dead and we are singing that good 'ol concession song: "That's it! We quit! We're going home, so long!" 9 years and all we have to show are dead soldiers and civilians, a few Taliban, and a very large bill.

New York Dems Standing Strong For Wall Street

I am a hardcore Democrat and even I must ask, "Surely you jest?" What politicians would not do for money is a far better question. Meanwhile, the rest of the snookered public mmm, I mean the rest of the other 49 states and territories have to risk funding the same robber barons again without the weak conditions set in the now infamous financial reform bill.



When will we face it that we are marginally better off than in the 1920's with corporations more powerful and valuable than people? Yet, like then it is the people who time and again right the ship when it flounders. A little gratitude would be if they, the politicians, would think for once about us before their re-elections and pocketbooks.



I can dream can't I?
