"I don’t understand why so many women today feel like they have to expose so much of their bodies for everyone to see. Why not leave something to the imagination and show respect for your body and yourself?"

"Why is everyone in such a hurry to get to work in the morning? Driving on 202 West at 7 a.m. cars are going about 80 on a 65-mph-road. I guess it is good that you want to get to work, if you have a job. I drive 67 in the right lane, and today in a five-mile stretch 90 cars passed me. Also I think it is interesting that some one-person cars use the HOV lane as their own passing lane if the left (fast) lane slows them down. Did you know it is about a $350 fine for doing that? Drive safe."

"It is hilarious this hacker turned on his 'pals.' What more could they expect though? Hackers as a class are lazy, entitled opportunists with no moral character."

"For their attacks on government security agencies these hackers should be executed for treason."

"I'm tired of people like Rush Limbaugh and Grover Norquist leading the so-called leaders of the Republican Party around by the nose. I don't recall ever hearing those two taking an oath to uphold the Constitution of this country. Before you accuse the president of poor leadership you better impress me with yours if you want my vote."

"Limbaugh is starting to feel the heat from his sponsors and you know that can't smell good."

"Banks don't give a damn about the houses/people they’re foreclosing on. They don't want the houses. They just want the mortgage insurance money."

“Arpaio says no one else has investigated Obama’s birth certificate in detail, as he has. That’s probably because other police forces around the country are tending to business and aren’t headed up by a fruitcake.”

“Why is it that with these presidential candidates that Utopia lies just beyond the next war unless they have children in the military. It almost seems like the only thing standing in the way of another war is a (Nobel) Peace Prize.”

“The official line about how the Middle East is gouging us on oil prices is so much political posturing and empty rhetoric. The main force behind rapidly rising prices of all commodities is the criminal printing of worthless money by your government. Every unbacked buck they put into circulation dilutes the value of all other currency. Like pouring water into the lemonade to make it go further, every sip becomes less tasteful, less valuable. The effect is that foreign countries have to demand more of a thinned-down dollar to make up for government-caused inflation.”

“‘You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em’. Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu should know that as far as his job, that it’s time to ‘fold ‘em’. When the chairman of the Pinal County Board of Supervisors demanded that he step down, that should have been the kicker. He did it to himself through his own indiscretions, no one else’s. His skills, strengths and managerial know-how is undiminished but his reputation outside and inside the Pinal County Sheriff’s Department is blemished forever. It’s time for him to cut his losses and move on.”

“The nation’s debt is one of the biggest threats to national security — $15 trillion and rising by the second. And the spending problem has the Democratic Party eyeing the military for massive cuts. The U.S. spent $1 trillion in Afghanistan — and the U.S. still has an army of 90,000 soldiers there. Bringing the troops home from Afghanistan would be a big cut in spending and would not seriously hurt America’s national defense. But that is exactly what President Obama, the Democrats, and today’s liberals refuse to do.”

    Rush Limbaugh is laughing all the way to the bank. One former advertiser is begging to come back because their sales immediately plummeted when it pulled their commercials from his show. Rush refused to take them back because he already has other advertisers lined up as replacements. Another former advertiser's stock fell by 12% in one day due to their pulling their ads from his show. There are winners and losers. Rush is the winner. [beam]

    No 10, please state you source for your claim, give facts. The reason prices are going up on Oil and other commodities is caused by speculators who control 70% of products sold and world growth, Wall Street Journal, as far as the U.S. Dollar it is still favored around the world. I see you are a Tea Party Person, where were you during the eight years of Bush' s Two failed wars the Fanny and Freddie disaster when a Republican President and a Republican Congress voted against taking action to elect a federal watch dog in 2003 and and one of the most severe recessions since the great depression? Lets not forget that 7 out of 8 recessions in the U.S.were when the Republicans were in the White House from 1960. Bloomberg.Com, From your local liberal, communist, Hitller and all the rest of the Tea Party colorful frends. AGAIN GIVE YOUR SOURCE, WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO LEARN.[beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam]

    TruthSeeker,

    Time will tell who is telling the truth.

    truth,

    I forget the percise amount. But we have routine shipments of bundled $100 bills by the pallet, several pallets per week, going to Dubai. I think #10's on to something here.

    Venter #1,

    I share your opinion. However this is a western cultural thing. It may be too late to effect a change. I was embarrased to hear Angie Dickenson's Police Woman TV show blaring through open windows after dark in Istanbul in the late 70's. Women in Istanbul have become much more modest since then. Turkey got rid of its pro-Western bureaucrats and generals and welcomed back a more modest dress standard going back to the Ottoman days.

    Venter #12,

    I'm confused! I don't follow your point! Are you saying that the Administration wants to fun the country into the ground financially and keeping troops in Afghanistan is the way to do it, the George Bush/Richard Cheney way? Or are you saying the Adminstration wants to ruin our defense through using the military, which is also the Bush/Cheney way?

    No 11, Sheriff Paul Babue should know when to fold'em. Mayby Babue could move to Laurence County S.C. Where Republican candidates must henceforth sign a pledge that they not have sex before marriage, are not GAY, and not watch pornography, and 24 other moral requirements. The pledge- approved unanimously by the GOP. Laurence COUNTY S.C. is 67% Southern Baptist 54.8 White but wait a minute the U.S. major crime rate is 319.1, in Laurence County the major crime rate is between 576 to 764 including RAPE. Source, Bobby Smith, the GOP Executive Committee chairman, says are "essential to try and protect the party's reputation. [beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam][beam]

    The 12th Venter: "Bringing the troops home from Afghanistan would be a big cut in spending and would not seriously hurt America’s national defense. But that is exactly what President Obama, the Democrats, and today’s liberals refuse to do.”

    --------------------------------------------

    Violence in Afghanistan has escalated . . . But, President Obama HAS NOT given any indication that the U.S. would speed up the NATO-backed plan to end combat missions in Afghanistan at the end of 2014, or schedule troop withdraw from Afghanistan soon.

    A recent ABC poll shows that public support for the war in Afghanistan is low. Sixty percent of Americans say the war is not worth fighting, and 54 percent say the U.S. should withdraw at once. Bring them back alive!

    The existence of this $16 trillion federal debt without a plan to fix it is really slowing down the ability of this economy to recover.

    Accuracy,

    Give the president some time. We're headed in the right direction, you know. We just need to speed things up a bit. Hopefully we can encourage China to step in to help develop a viable Afghan economy and not leave things in the same mess we did after Charlie Wilson's war!

    Doesn't Tom Hanks have a unique knack for getting the most interesting roles! Charlie Wilson, Forest Gump, etc.

    As always, Dale Whiting’s enthusiastic support of President Obama remains high.

    While, President Obama's approval rating has hit the lowest level ever in CBS News polling, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times survey. And disapproval rating has risen to 89 percent among Republicans, and more independents now disapprove of his job performance than approve.

    Public support for the decade-long war in Afghanistan has run out of air. Now, question whether al-Qaida poses enough of a threat in Afghanistan to justify the U.S. troop commitment, along with $1 trillion more.

    “We're headed in the right direction”??

    President Obama looks not to the Congress for authorization to bomb Syria - but to NATO and the United Nations. That's using offensive military force without authorization of an act of Congress.

    Obama is on a course to gut America's defense, while other countries, like China and Russia, ramp up their next-generation military arsenals.

    "President Obama's approval rating has hit the lowest level ever in CBS News polling, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times survey." -- Accuracy, some people refuse to accept the obvious, and wish to remain oblivious. I call it the "Double OO syndrome".
