What was your federal tax rate under Bush compared to Clinton? Just curious if people actually know what they are paying in taxes. If you don't please google federal tax rate during those administrations to find out for yourself.

When Obama and the Democrats do not renew the Bush tax cuts for the middle class in 2010, doesn't this constitute a raise in taxes for the middle class. Is he lying? Did he not say that he would not raise taxes on the middle class? Brace yourself middle class people, we are in for a long four years if Obama gets elected.

Can anyone answers why neither candidate is talking about putting a cap on spending? This especially goes toward Obama supporters. We are borrowing money to fund social security, which makes our debt even worse. How are we going to pay for a National Healthcare system which we will obviously be paying for by borrowing more money, which will make our national debt worse and our dollar weaker. The answers is we can't, so why would you campaign on an issue that will never happen. I have no problem with raising taxes, but only if we cap spending and pay down the national debt. Why is no one talking about this issue in a serious way? That goes for both candidates.

We the people are sitting here arguing about candidates that we only somewhat agree on. They all have major flaws and all of these candidates will be controlled by their party. We need a third party that represents the middle, and we could get rid of these BS politics for good. We need a party that represent the middle, which always makes or breaks both parties in elections.

In regards to the 8 Jewish children killed by the two terrorist in Israel. Do you think he will even be asked?

Who decided in these two states on whether or not it was ok to move the caucusus up and forfeit their delegates? Was it the voters or the DNC? If not the voters, then why not do a re vote, especially when Democrats talk about disinfranchised voters all the time in other national elections? Since when have Democrats held true to the rule of law concept?

Let me know what you would think of a little friendly competition between the free market health care system and a government controlled one. What would be the result? Can anyone name a government controlled system that is run better than a private one? The military is not an option for obvious reasons.

All I heard from the left during the past elections is how they were going to get to the bottom of why the gas prices were so high. I'm still waiting to hear why. Maybe it's because OPEC controls oil prices and not Bush. What is really sad is the the government makes 10x more off a gallon of gas in taxes than the oil companies. So where are all the Democrats on this issue? No wonder the approval rating is at 11%.

Check this out people. In a county where I live, police are setting up road block to catch drunk drivers, etc....You know where I'm going. Pro-Latina groups here are up in arms because if a hispanic gets stopped and they don't have a DL, insurance, or proper visas, then they go to jail and the deportation process starts. They also do not allow bail because they do not know who these people are. These pro-illegal groups are raising hell because they think they are targeting hispanics. The police have asked them what they should do then, and the group tells them that they need to just write them a citation and let them go. Are you frickin kidding me! Let them go? Maybe if I get pulled over I can tell the police that my name is John Smith, and they will just write me a citation. UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!! And people want to know why the average American is feed up with undocumented workers in this country.

Why do so many people want the government to control every aspect of their life? If the government controlled our healthcare, what real decisions would we have in life? Why are people willing to give so much power to government when they can't even run programs like social security, welfare, medicare, medicaid, education, and taxation?

Why are so many people screaming about how the common person should be the one altering there lives to reduce carbon outputs? I would bet that reducing Airline travel would signifigantely reduce carbons so the the coomon citizen would not even have to change their lifestyle. Am I wrong here? I mean, God forbid that Britney Spears wouldn't be able to fly somewhere to get her coffee in the morning.

This goes for all sides of the aisle. I will personally vote out of office any Senator that votes for this stupid immigration bill. Since our politicians care more about retaining their power than anything else, this should do the trick. I'm sick and tired of our politicians treating the citizens of this country like crap. We need a big change on both sides.

Why don't we put this whole illegal immigration issue to a vote for the American Citizens to decide with a comprehensive Immigration Bill on a voting ballet? Mob rule right? I submit that all American businesses validate SS numbers for all workers through a national database. Make sure that no red flags are popping up with multiple jobs in multiple states. I know that this can work because a co worker was terminated from work when we found out that he was illegal when we went on a company fishing trip. He was flagged when he applied for a fishing permit. Sad isn't it? The government is playing us like a fiddle and that goes for both sides.

Sorry....but if you do not come here legally, then screw you. Why? Because the majority of the illegals do not follow our laws that are designed to protect AMERICAN CITIZENS! If you want to ask if I have a grudge against illegals, than my answer would be HELL YES I DO! Imagine if you lost someone very close to you because a drunk illegal hit her while recklessly driving. Sorry no insurance and since he had nothing, her family had no legal recourse and I lost the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with. Granted that this could have happened anyway, when you live in an area that is highly populated with illegals, it makes it more probable. Many people do not see this side of the problem that exist when you have this many illegals in the country. I will take a while as it did in France, but this country will eventually wake up and realize that mass illegal immigration is not healthy for this country. Politicians beware of a backlash as a result of pimping for votes

As we all know the bill from the House passed 218-208 for troop withdrawl. We also know that the President will veto the hell out of it because his views on the war and all the pork that it has in it. Do people actually think his veto will be overturned with such a close vote down partisan lines? Two words..HELL NO! They don't have the votes to override the veto. Not saying that it is good or bad, but this is not a reality.

What exactly do the liberals fear from the so called religious right? Other than abortion, which could be mostly solved by people being responsible, I can't see anything else that would affect any rights of our citizens as a result of someone being religious. Morals? Which ones do you not agree with? Just curious to know, and this is coming from person who considers himself not to be that religious.

What is the biggest fear of liberals when it comes to the so called "religious zealots" of the Republican party?

What is the biggest fear of conservatives from the so called "socialists" form the Democrat party?

I believe that it would be if we didn't hide the process so much. I believe that public executions should be televised so that it would serve as a warning to those thinking about committing a crime. No worse than what Hollywood puts out these days. Do you remember the audio of Nick Berg? Chilling wasn't it? You would get more people's attention if you did this.(not the beheading way) We are too political correct in this country these days. What say you?

We all know that the border issue about security is hogwash, so let's think outside the box. Let all of the people from Mexico come to the US by making it easy for them to get working Visas.Make all of them pay a higher flat tax rate so that they wouldn't be able to claim multiple dependents on their taxes. This could be done by instituting a verification database when one applies for a job. Make fines heavy on business who do not follow these guidelines. They also would not be allowed to use any social services unless they become a US citizen. I think the reason why a lot of people disapprove of illegal immigrants is because they drain our social services and skirt our tax codes. Use them as a tax revenue instead of allowing them to send it back to Mexico to support their economy. If they are coming here, then the US should be the one that benefits the most from it and not Mexico. I wonder how many people from Mexico would still come here if our government did this.
