Your article of 2007 on the 9-11 anniversary
stated that the economy was going strong despite bin ladens efforts. Well if you can take your yellow glasses off and just step back from the embroidered thing that is your politicized economics, you might say that bin ladens attack and the Bush reaction to it with this senseless homeland and overseas struggle did actually have its desired effect.
The billion that was lost in the attack and the 3 thousand who died have been multiplied by our own hand.You cant fight terrorism it is an un-uniformed soldier,
it is a thought and cannot be detected or stopped.
Let us Focus on making our products here and punish companies who export jobs.
Worrying about a possible attack is a waste of our resources, it will happen again eventually.
Let's focus on stopping the nukes and the toxins that can destroy all. This is where we must focus our energy and we should use our forces in a strike mode rather than a regular face to face conflict.

It looks like the idiots are finally running the asylym. Go ahead and raise taxes nancy. You will just make it easier to get rid of morons like you in two years. You may not realize it but you will have no one to blame as you democrats will be in charge of everything. I will just lay employees off and wait you out. Raise taxes and this economy will get worse, much worse.

I thought it would take longer for the Democratic party to reneg on their promise to lower taxes for 95% of Americans. America was dumb enough to give the dems the Congress and the White House this is what we get.

who own vineyards and hire illegals. In Santa Rose, they held a demonstration and 10,000 attended (pro-amnesty).
Some of those owning in Napa are foreign companies. Do they care if they import illegals (who are now killing 25 of us a day?). They don't even live here.
And what about illegal immigration? More laborers we don't need - especially when they get benefits. When we were young we didn't even get food stamps. We worked in the fields, the canneries, waiting tables and still made it through college - without a handout.
Now, the young get handouts - and so do the illegals. The illegals are even foreclosing on loans - which is being hidden from the public.

I am not a big fan of the Democratic party. Nancy Pelosi should
step down as House Speaker. She is not a problem solver. We needs to lower taxes across the board so business owners can hire more people. The 800 billion dollar bailout is pork. American people want to be protected and Obama and Pelosi are
too stupid to realize that. We should be striving for energy
independent, creating more jobs in the energy sector. Investing
more money in the military is not a bad idea also. Nancy Pelosi
needs to go away and leave the American people alone, her services are not needed. She is stupid.

I just can not figure where this Nancy Pelosi is coming from. She changes her mind daily and I have tried to give her the benifit of the doubt due to the size and challenges of the curent situation; but, she seems to live on some other planet than Earth. She is now trying to change all of the house rules and procedures to block anyone that doesn't agree with her. That is all we need as a nation, a one woman show. I am not sosure that if we dug deep enough we could find justification to unseat her for good. I hope the people of California start really paying attention to her goals and objectives and how she is conducting business. It might be a good time to let her come home next election. Granted, George needs to come home, but, I don't see anything in the leadership that Nancy Pelosi is currently showing us that are back home represent any kind of "CHANGE"!

She is right. The ignorant and blind who still believe in Capitalism should move to northern Canada and found their own colony.
Americans have lived off of the sweat of low paid foreigners. The have irresponsibly played in the comfort of historical chance. It is time for them to shut up and get to work.
