Last week you never got an answer to your question. Here's my answer--

The last straw was the wing nut at that town hall wearing an Israeli Defense Forces T-shirt shouting, "Heil Hitler" at the israeli-American Jew. All I can say is, "I want my country back!!!"

Bill,

With regards to the Bush Administration, what will become of us after another Natural disaster?

They start poor at science
and math
and stay there.

It is easier to be over-emotional
and SCREAM at people that you don't like

than to actually study and work hard at finding information

Why can't we just set a date and pull our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq? What would be different if we did a long drawn out thing? That part of the world is a mess and always will be.

When will the President grow a pair and stop equivocating on Health care? Many of us worked our asses off to get him elected so that he could deliver on health care. When will he firmly say that he will not sign a bill that does not include a public option (not fucking co-ops either)?

Bill,

How can we believe what Bernanke of the Federal Reserve is saying when all things point to the opposite!

He says the economy is doing fine... We tank. He says the credit will start to flow with TARP, ... banks cut loans. He says we're on the road to recovery, ...FDIC is closing banks faster and more often than last year(81 so far).

Where is our Treasurer! And why isn't Timothy at least speaking for the US instead of the (privately owned) Federal Reserve?

I'd like to know what is it going to take to get an intelligent administration that also has a backbone to prevent the backwards neanderthals from holding back progress like the public option plan?

It seems to the untrained eye that conservative republicans are pro-war and anti-healthcare reform. What's wrong with this picture? Please do discuss. Also, since Obama has been in office, how many times has the terror threat level been loudly raised to orange? I, for one, feel a lot safer with the Dems in charge.

Do you think Obama let the Republicans play with this Health Reform bill in order to show the American citizenry what and who they really are ? or do you think he seriously thought there could be and would be bi-partisanship? (If the former that would have been pretty cagey of him, but if the latter, Hillary was right, he's naive, and I hope he's learned the lesson.)

AND

Now that he sees the truth of bi-partisanship with Republicans, do you think he's still going to allow all the watering down changes they made to the bill? or will he throw their diluting out and go back to the pure bill as he envisioned it?

On CNN, a pro-anything-that-will-get-us-lots-of-money news network, the #1 story is about Miley Cyrus's new lover. The divide between democrats in congress about the new health care reform plan doesn't even make top 10. My question is: How can the democrats inform the american public about something as complicated as a universal health plan, when they can hardly understand it themselves?

By the way: I'm Canadien..Just goes to show

Why aren't people like Bill O'Reilly or Glenn Beck held accountable when one of their crazy viewers actually does what they tell them to do. They are the ones who got Dr. Tiller murdered. They are also the reason people are getting violent at the town hall meetings.

With Recent statements from Tom Ridge. It seems that Bush and company used Bin Ladin's threats, Video's OR anything they could to keep U.S. Citizens Terrorized. Therefore practically guaranteeing "His War Dreams" and ReElection.
Being one of a few Voices to Speak truth/suspissions to power! I want to thank you. I'm sorry those who could see the flaws of this logic. Were crazy voices. Some Lost their Job's for their points of view! For beliefs of Truth.
Thanks Again for not Shutting up! I told you so? Somehow does no good.
What are your thoughts now on how "WE the PEOPLE" should Respond Legally? Morally to the LyTruth of Bush?
