Why?<br /><br />The Constitution specifically puts the government in charge of providing for the defense of the country. Since we are the ones footing the bill for this and the other legitimate functions of the government, the government is responsible for reporting to us what they are doing with respect to...

Will folks vote for the one they trust the most knowing the prez has little power or the one they dislike least? Why?<br /><br />Oh, is this your excuse for Obama's failure now. "He really has little power!" Strange how Reagan was able to get a lot done despite have to deal with a bunch of obstructionist Democrats who controlled both houses of Congress for most of his two terms. You don't think that the reason for...

Anything?<br /><br />Again, Rosie, why do you only complain about the "rich" and their influence on politics? How come you NEVER complain about the criminal unions and their influence on politics. You have been presented MANY times with the criminal record of these organizations. You have been presented with the...

What's the difference?<br /><br />Why is it that you bring this up, but you dismissed Obama's connections to the likes of Reverend Jeremiah Wright (Mr. US of KKK A and G** D*** America) and confessed domestic terrorist Bill Ayers? (he who in an interview published 9/11/2001 said that he wished he has set MORE bombs)? Sorry,...

All that you have to do is look at all of the comments that thy make accusing those that oppose Obama as being racists. Either they can't accept the idea that people would oppose him on ideological grounds or they are simply just throwing the...

Why?<br /><br />There are very few people who object to providing those who served in the military with this sort of assistance. Most of us set it as one more way to say thank you to these men and women who volunteer to put their lives on the line to protect all of the rest of us. Most of us don't even object...

Are you STILL a Republican?<br /><br />How is it an attack to tell the truth about unions? For example, how do you defend the fact that unions have been given a legal exemption from being prosecuted for violence? http://www.nrtwc.org/hobbs-act-loophole-legitimizes-union-violence/...

Can murder please God?<br /><br />It was a test. If you read the entire story, then you see that God sent an anger to stop Abraham before the deed was actually done. No, God never intended for Abraham to kill his son. He wanted to know who Abraham valued more. I would also point out that this was a similitude of what God...

Is this a good use of tax payer funds?<br /><br />Two points. First of all, from reading the story, it sounds to me like this is a one time expenditure. Admittedly there may be other things that others might have preferred the money be spent on, but in the scope of a state's budget, $1,100 isn't that much. Second, if left-wingers didn't have...

I have usually even provided the links to back up my assertion, but again you completely ignore the facts. So, let me try one more time. The first problem that I have with...

Any exception to that? Who would support the enemy?<br /><br />You forget one very important fact in your assessment here, Rosie. That fact is that in most states union membership is NOT optional if you want to work in certain careers. For example, my brother is more conservative that I am. However, he is making his living as a forklift operator in...

It seems he's usually accused of out spending other POTUS.<br /><br />This is a chart that the some of the more gullible/dishonest liberals have been touting this week. However, there is a very big problem with it. It attributes ALL of the government spending that occurred in 2009 up to October to George W. Bush because Obama's first official budget didn't take...

Do you believe large classes are as good as small? Why does he?<br /><br />Rosie, can I assume that you haven't heard of this particular study that was released just two years ago? http://blogs.ajc.com/get-schooled-blog/2010/05/19/latest-study-reducing-class-size-doesnt-benefit-student-achievement/ One of my colleagues likes to point out that quite often what "common...

Is that what America is all about?<br /><br />I would disagree with you when you say that he wants people to become homeless. What he wants is for people to live within their means. The reason we got into this mess was, as you wrote, because the government pushed the idea of higher home ownership rates. However, you make it seem as if...

Additionally, he may not want to burden the Secret Service and the temple workers with all of the additional security measures that would be needed to all the President of the United States to...

Do you think that there is anything that Romney could do to get Harry Reid's vote? Somehow, I don't think so. No, Latter-day Saints won't automatically vote for Romney just because he's LDS. I wasn't even going to vote for him in the primaries until he became the last man standing.

Are you a red in a blue or blue in a red? How do you stand it?<br /><br />I live in a pretty red state. Unfortunately, I live in one of the rather blue urban islands that Old School mentioned. How do I stand it? I don't know. I just keep trying to convince people to open their minds and stop being so dependent on the government.

If people do what you want them to do, then they are thinking for themselves. If they don't do what they want you to do, then they are bought. Does that about sum up your position here? As for Walker himself, how is he "buying" the people? Could it have...

What about the pesky creatures in the Senate/House?<br /><br />I suspect that he will be less so than Obama has been. Need I remind you his record? A court held his administration in contempt for imposing the embargo on deep water drilling leases. This administration continues to ignore that ruling. The Democrat controlled congress and the courts told...

They brought that ball to the field and it is now in play. Regrets or just complaints?<br /><br />Actually, no, it wasn't the GOP candidates that first attempted to us Bain against Romney. If I remember correctly, it was Ted Kennedy who first brought it up when Romney chose to run against him for his Senate seat. Regardless of who actually brought it up first, yes, it was Romney's GOP...

Is Pakistan a friend to the US?<br /><br />Yeah I heard about that earlier. I think it is shameful. I would like to see our government do whatever it can to get him and his family out of that nation and bring them hear. As far as I am concerned, he is a hero and he should not have been left hanging in the wind by our government. Even...

What spin will change it? Who would believe it?<br /><br />Yes, Rosie, the history speaks for itself, if you actually pay attention to the history rather than the spin from your liberal hit pieces. Let's look at the record of Bain with respect to GST Steel, the steel mill that Obama was criticizing Bain for shutting down. First of all, Romney had left...

However, he is following the same path the FDR did in trying to solve the mess that he inherited. And what were the results of FDR's policies? "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have...
