The referendum just started to block this. Seattle and Olympia have a lot of voters for this, the rest of the State will hopefully step up and vote this out. Then vote out all the people that passed this bill. Oh too bad, all the government employees that want their same sex partners added to their too generous medical insurance will just have to pay for their own, like everyone else.  View

As much as I dislike religion interfering with government, Catholic voters have a right to fight for or against legislation as they see fit. But it bothers me to hear the term 'Catholic leaders.' How representative are they of their flock?  View

I think it is interesting that the new prime minister is only allotted 60 days to get a new government approved. This seems like a quick turn around and not really enough time to make any significant changes.  View

I agree... its shocking facts like shown in this clip that need and should be known. Heads up America your government is no longer representing your best interest.  View

It is interesting that Egypt is accusing these workers even though they are not part of the government since the United States has had such a strong relationship with Egypt. Since these acts are describe as good deeds it seems like Egypt would want to maintain the relationship they have with the U.S. rather than sacrifice aid from the United States.  View

Ask any Canadian, British, French if they mind that their taxes go towards health care. They love it. Why? Because if they get sick, or their children get sick. They just go to a doctor and not worry about cost or paperwork for insurances ( unless you have a serious illness some insurance companies will have plans for better rooms, and pay for certain unique drug plans with government assistance).  View

This is so dishonest and opportunistic it almost makes my head explode. You'll notice Obama never mentioned the fact that Jesus ASKED us to help the less fortunate, never demanding it and taking away wealth at the tip of the sword--which is precisely what taxation is. If you want to donate money and help the poor voluntarily as an expression of your faith, then that's awesome, but the government cannot and should not legislate the redistribution of personal wealth.  View

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: No matter whether thee be Liberal Democrat, or Rabid Far Right Tea Party Fanatic, and everything in between, you, we all gotta give our just due credit to this, vastly understated Government Employee. From helping to create a Stimulus under Clinton, to the maximum adroit wiping out of one of the most ignorant men to have ever lived, Bin Laden with Insane, Panetta does his job with quiet and speed full efficiency. Now, I state all the above to underscore an extremely worrisome situation, most unfortunately, like an invisible and very lethal cancer growing to such heights and powers, it almost needs to be wiped out, if not now, then, very soon. Of course I speak of Iran. Imagine: On the very night Panetta's elite Seal Team had yet again knocked one out for democracy ( The Romping of evil Somalia Pirates), still, at Obama's 2012 State of the Union Speech, when Panetta should have been all secret smiles content, his face bore witness I noticed to grave, grave concerns, and I'll bet my last dollar, those were: "What in God do we do about Iran? C'mon: Iran makes no bones of its intensely evil ( Or the essence of extreme ignorance, you choose) to destroy Israel. Something behind the scenes is REALLY heating up. Let's finally commit to a " Manhatten Like Project for Super Solar Energy," already, and by such, sanction Iran to no oil revenues. Remember a wounde enemy on its knees is one that must finally seek out at the table peace. Think about it.  View

Spiritwolf10 do you know which president repealed glass steagall act to eventually create the mortgage crisis? Do you know how much money is estimated to have left the country due to the threat of of socialized medicine and increased taxes? Both sides are at fault and if your a true independent you would see a true sustainable economy is not reliant on big government. The people of this great nation are responsible to bring the innovation necessary for relevant growth.  View

Seriously? This is what the government is going to use as an excuse to add an unjust tax? Reality really is stranger than fiction. Next up, the Eurasian War and thought police.  View
