Nebraskans for Peace

Global warming? Over at East Anglia they call it "Mike's Nature trick." You know... to "hide the decline" of global temperatures?

I've got one word for you: CLIMATEGATE. Look it up.

seriously, hold insurance companies accountable? How about making government accountable. Explain where the stimulus money went, and why government can't account for that urgent legislation, and why this one is so pressing that we cannot actually read the legislation and discuss it like adults. Why did the senate had to use bribery and threats to muscle the legislation in the dark of night?

"From start to finish, the insurance and drug industries -- and their army of lobbyists -- had control over the process that resulted in a bill that is reform in name only. The postmortems of how they pulled it off have already begun. On Sunday, the Chicago Tribune published an exhaustive front-page analysis by Northwestern University's Medill News... See More Service and the Center for Responsive Politics of how it was done. The main culprit: 'a revolving door between Capitol Hill staffers and lobbying jobs for companies with a stake in health care legislation.'

The study found that 13 former congressmen and 166 congressional staffers were actively engaged in lobbying their former colleagues on the bill. The companies they were working for -- some 338 of them -- spent $635 million on lobbying. It was money extremely well spent -- delivering a bill that, by forcing people to buy a shoddy product in a market with no real competition, enshrines into law the public subsidy of private profit."

Obama and the Dems shafted the Left once again.

How about: "eliminate insurance companies"?

If we could figure out how to get them to arrange publically paid for elections, that would certainly help. Maybe we should start working on a left-right coalition addressing that question. At least that would create more jobs by forcing the corporate powers that be to hire more lobbyists.

of course not why do you think they support Obama?

I don't understand this for two reasons....first, why should alcoholic beverages be illegal on a reservation, when the rest of America enjoys alcohol at will.

Second, those grocery stores in Whiteclay have the right to sell whatever they want.

Can someone enlighten me on his this can be construed as genocide? I just do not understand.

Too expensive for everyone, too flawed for the "progressive" and too extreme for the conservatives. what ever happened to moderation? one thing I learned was it never was bi-partisan, and never was open to debate. heavy handed, rammed down peoples throats and close minded, not what I was expecting. but live and learn.

Anyone that thinks that government does not already have their hands in the pockets of fat insurance companies has rocks in their head.

Government interference of health care will only deepen this issue....and it will get much worse.

Sorry to say..it's such a huge problem. Was there this summer to do a little missions work. There is no ONE answer to end the problem. 4,000,000,000 cans of beer sold annually from TWO liquor stores. I'd be ashamed to be one of the the owners.

Those store owners have the right to sell what they want, and it is not their fault that the government has chosen to make a LEGAL activity ILLEGAL for a group of people just based on race.

Maybe if it wasn't illegal on reservations, they wouldn't be dying to get their hands on it. The forbidden fruit is always the most tempting.

Any government that will give us a lottery so that they can fund education has a fundamental flaw in its thinking. so lets tax alcohol so that we can combat the effects of alcoholism? can we get any sicker. follow the money and you know who is the beneficiaries. it isn't necessarily the "big" business that everyone thinks is the bad guys.
