I read my news on Yahoo but am getting ready to switch to a media web site. I read stories here, and like to comment. I've never posted a message demeaning to people with different views but I state my opinion. I would think my opinion probably doesn't suit them, but now its not working. I can't vote up or down anyone's comments, when I post an opinion it shows my username and no comment underneath. Sometimes it says I'm logged in but I can't do anything. I get odd error messages when I try to click on the link to "view my comments." So I'm curious if they just banned me and didn't tell me?

In California PG&E territory we pay .33 cents a kilowatt hour. I'm curious how far we could drive on that in one of these cars?

I really want to write an email to Rep. Charles Rangel. Yes I'm a conservative Republican but I've always liked him want just wanted to send a note of encouragement, but congressional web sites only let you email "your" congressman and I want to email him. Does anyone know how?

He is working on nationalizing, banking, insurance, health care, auto companies, and just took over student loan programs...so why not the legal industry? He could call it "tort" reform and make it so all attorneys work for the government?

Wasn't there an unwritten rule about politicizing the children of elected officials?

I thought the bill was requiring the millions to buy it, and even if they don't want too buy it they have too? Is that the same as "extending coverage to millions?"

This "soon to be deemed" complete health care bill in the senate; does it include an 8% payroll tax for "any" business that does not currently buy health insurance for its employees? Some say it does and some say it doesn't?

We have an immediate debt of more then $12,000,000,000,000 (that is 12 trillion).

We have unfunded mandates for 50 to 70 trillion more insocial security and medicare.

We have an unknown extreme deficit in the lack of infrastructure.

And in the next few days congress will impose upon the younger generation a health insurance bill so that we can afford "health care" for the older generation.

Did the "great generation" just screw over the rest of America?

It is done up like a news report, but I didn't know if it was real or a spoof? I would think if it was real ESPN would be all over it - no? Lethargy = Chronic Laziness

What I am asking and can not find on the Internet is for a dollar figure in the US for how much courts award to people and how much people are paid in court ordered distributions each year? Is that number out there anywhere?

There is an article on Yahoo News about some law firm working up a $3 billion law suit against the Toyota. Fine; if the administration wants to limit the bonuses of people under contract with finincial companies why not limit what lawyers will get. Why should they get 50% of such a law suit; and the same goes for all lawsuits....why can't we limit the lawyers "take"?

Academia, Media and no doubt Government do....

Drudge report seems to be the "only" source of a statement in his medical review suggesting he needs to moderate alcohol intake? Is it real or is Drudge making this stuff up?

Is there any difference?

He clearly believes in soaking the rich and redistributing the wealth; and if he can't do it with higher taxes is he doing it by just spending us in to oblivion?

A critic of Obama Care said that the costs of his proposal is estimated to be $1 trillion over 10 years (roughly $100b a year). If it was actually 6x that and $6 trillion do you think you'd still be for it? The truth might be some where in the middle, but lets face the fact that most government programs cost a lot more then what they say when written up. Considering our nation is more then $40,000 per person in debt already how can you still say its a good idea if its going to cost so much?

This senator finally stands up and says no more and people are mad at him? Our current administration wants to spend $1.6 trillion more then its going to take in this year and $3 trillion more over this year and last ($10,000 for every single person) and people are mad at a senator that finally says no? Why?

How come the "code pink" and "green extremist" and those demaning amnesty for criminal aliens among us aren't upset with Obama? I mean the guy signed the patriot act, he's only soaked the rich a little, he hasn't given anyone amnesty, etc etc....yet no huge left wing outcry?

I mean al queda has killed 3000 + Americans, drew us into two wars, and and the right flew a piper cub into an IRS building; they just don't seem equal to me?

According to this the Democrats don't care what the Republicans had to say, and its clear during the presentations that neither side gave an inch of compromise. Why did the Democrats bother to host a meeting if they were not willing to budge on anything?
