West Virginia has made thier state rock 'coal' according to the Sierra club, showing how difficult it will be for Democrats to actually make any progress toward addressing climate change. If we didn't already feed defense contractors with endless background conflict, I'd think leadership could call for shared sacrifice like the Greatest Generation ...

or bush's attempt at trying to privatize SSI,for our own good.

Chris Dodd...hmmm. Can you say feather your own bed 3 times real fast? Don't forget his part in Fan/Fred fiasco, along with Barn and his lover-working for Fan/Fred. The Dems have left their mark on the free-fall on Wall Street, as well as our hometown street. Now, we have another generation of Dems intent on their "New World Order".

Yes since Bush Iniciated the program with no stipulations to it before leaving office,it will never brought up in debate except how the dems followed through with his wishes and it will be blamed on them,even though they put in stipulations.

He is my Representive. I can't stand the guy. He is all about fear.

Aren't they all?

Its funny was watching the history channel on Hitler,and the book he produced mein kamf or whatever,one of the first things you have to do is instill fear in the public as your main philosophy.And was also the best selling book outside of the bible.What do you think foxnews,rush limbaugh,louis fericon,beck,and several others do?they don't give ...

Brooksly Born is an American Hero!!!! She tried to tell them the trouble we were in, but "they" refused to believe her. Look where we are. Right where she said we would be.

Brooksly Born in 2012!Would love to see her in a debate with Palin,hehe.Fox news would probably say Palins clothes were more fashionable,and she won hands down, though,hehe.You'd think Obama would recognize her,good pr,or find a place in his cabinet,shes got more balls,than any republican or democrat handsdown.
