“I think it is laughable that Romney thinks all his Republicans are going to vote for him. Now that President Obama has secured the health insurance, who in their right mind would vote away Medicare or Social Security? Plus, I want the Republicans to know that this is not a gift; we workers paid our share.”
“Mussolini made the trains run on time. Mitt Romney will keep your lights on.”
“Obamacare will hurt more people then help them.”
“Since the president and the Supreme Court do not believe the voters of Arizona, we should secede from the union. Do not vote for Obama; vote for yourself or anyone you think will believe you.”
“Steve Nash to the Lakers! Where’s the (Asbestos Bob) Goldwater Institute when you need them?”
“I guess that now that Obamacare is the law, all of the illegal aliens and poor people are going to be taxed by Obama if they don’t get health insurance. Or will they be thrown in jail if they don’t pay the tax? What ... I see, their insurance will be paid for by people who already have insurance like it is now when they go to the emergency room for treatment.”
“Who are more racist: The 50% of voters not voting for President Obama or the 90% of African American that voted for him?”
“I called the customer service phone number for Chase Bank today. My call was answered by a woman in the Philippines. I won’t go into the details of the conversation, but it was very frustrating trying to communicate with her. Last year Chase Bank paid its chief executive, Jamie Dimon, compensation valued at $23 million. The bank even paid $21,375 to secure Dimon’s home. I guess he couldn’t afford it on his ‘modest’ salary. Why can’t the bank hire people in the United States to answer phone calls? I’m sure there are unemployed people who would love to have the job.”
“Your lead story of July 6 documents how sad our sad Arizona has become. Concerned citizens band together to get funding for the maintenance of state parks, the existence of which benefits all and spurs the tourism industry. Unfortunately, they come up short. Our legislators won’t fund this basic state service as well as others, such as education, because they claim to be balancing the budget. That balance is dependent not only on gutting basic services, but by maintaining a stream of revenue, and this our legislators fail to do when they cut the taxes of corporations and the wealthy. The rich really do get richer and the rest of us just have to muddle through.”

StrongChristian ... just how do Democrats want to " take control of our lives " ?
It is the Republicants who want to impose their " moral values " on everyone.
It is a Republcant governor who is trying to take away benefits from " life partners " because they don't fit her " moral code " so she thinks she has the right to punish them.
It is Republicant insurance bureaucrats who tell doctors what medicines and treatments they can or can't give you. Not Democrats.
There are a multitude of ways the Republicants want to control your life.
Just because you may agree with their " moral code " doesn't make it right to try to force that code on people who don't believe in it.

"all Democrats want to do is take control of our lives."
I didn't realize the Mormon constituency was made up of Democrats.
Interesting...
"They have a craddle to grave, womb to the tomb mentality. And I simply cannot support that."
So you do NOT support the Mormon Church's stance on gay marriage? Or do you give THAT bigoted control a free pass? If you do, look up the word Hypocrite, and realize it's talking about you.

Willie, here's your answer: Because Republicans are infinitely better than Democrats. They have done many things that I disagree with, but all Democrats want to do is take control of our lives. They have a craddle to grave, womb to the tomb mentality. And I simply cannot support that.

Vent #1: The only one republicans are laughing at is our Campaign-in-Chief. Playing the part of King and proclaiming edicts left and right for his specials friends and voters. The most divisive president in our History.
Vent #2: The lights could go out under our Campaigner-in-Chief or cost way to much to keep on.
Vent #3: Obamacare will be it's own instrument of destruction. Unfortunately, it's destructive powers will not be known until after the election.
Vent #4: Seems like the Supreme Court and Obama do believe in the supremacy clause. Welcome to Big Government progressive socialism. I am against succession for now.
Vent #5: Steve is gone live with it. The Sun will also rise.
Vent #6: We have yet to feel the sting and oppression of Obamacare. This burden was cleverly put off until after the election.
Vent #7: Racism is in the eye of the beholder. However the policies of Obama are there in plain view for everyone to see. Am I a racist for not liking a person of color's policies that are destroying America? Or are you a racists for supporting a person of color that is destroying America?
Vent #8: Change banks but let the bank you are leaving know why.
Vent #9: I guess it all comes down to what you or I consider to be basic services. When you let the big government get bigger and bigger you want more and more from the government. When the economy goes south we are left with too many basic services that are all of a sudden not that basic. Citizen involvement in the initiative process is not the answer to the state budget problems.

Venter # 9: Welcome to the Corporate State of Arizona, a subsidiary of the Corporate States of America.
Run by Republicans who have taken an oath to never raise taxes and to always cut taxes on the wealthy and business owners.
The Republicans have said many times in plain American that their goal is to starve government and drown it in the bathtub.
Why would people who voted for them be surprised at what they got?
The Republicans make no secret of their hatred for government.
So why elect them to < BE > the government?

Venter # 8: whenever I call Wells Fargo I get an American speaking person who seems to be here in the U.S.
Their American is just fine. No trouble understanding them at all.
I'd switch banks if I was you. I see many people complain about Chase.
