“The people who call Thanksgiving Day ‘Turkey Day’ must not have anything to be thankful for.”

“Headline ‘Traffic in Chandler increases in 2012’. The article said the police can’t explain it. I can. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting behind a guy that stopped for the red light then decided he could beat cross traffic off the line. He went against the red in front a Chandler officer sitting first in line. Did the officer stop him? Of course not.”

“I’ll bet this is the first time Mitt has been thrown under a public bus, but he could pull himself out by bringing a first generation Bain Twinkie packaged in Cambodia, just to prove he’s still in touch.”

“Why is it that the first thing that the landscapers do when they go to a house is pull out the blowers and blow all the dust into the air. They should try using a rake and a broom. All this dust that is blown into the air isn’t healthy for anyone. There should be a law against the blow and go landscapers.”

“Can someone tell me with so many people getting food stamps, why do we need food banks?”

“The Venter who will get a big thrill out of Rush Limbaugh paying more taxes after the first of the year is proof that the Left is all about tearing everyone down to their level instead of the Right’s way of trying to raise everyone up. Oh well, I guess there is no hope for the Left anyway! I pity them!”

“To the writer who believes President Obama is dividing the country: He did win a clear majority all across this great nation of ours. In the past most of our citizens respected the office and united behind the winner rather than vowing vengeance. Bottom line: It is you who is dividing the country.”

“I don’t remember the Left attacking John Kerry eight years ago for his wealth, and he’s as least as wealthy, if not more wealthy, than Mitt Romney.”

    Vent #1: I guess if you are a liberal/progressive you are thankful you will have another 4 years of high unemployment, deficit spending, growing social welfare programs and greater and greater debt. As a conservative, I'll just call it "Turkey Day".

    Vent #2: With Chandler almost built out the traffic is getting worse and now that the snow birds are back the parking spaces are few and far between. The drivers are getting older and slower. LOL

    Vent #3: The voters have spoken and rejected Capitalism I favor of Big Government Socialism. If I were Mitt, I would go to a country that is more friendly to successful business people. Our country Is now dominated by the Takers instead of the Makers.

    Vent #4: In my area all the landscapers use blowers because of the rock landscaping. They can't rake the rocks.

    Vent #5: You have a good point. With 47 millions people on food stamps and only 23 million unemployed or under employed why are we still needing to have food banks? Where the heck is all that food stamp money going?

    Vent #6: Who started the class warfare. I know. The guy living in the White House that says "The rich should pay their fair share." but he can never explain what a "fair share" is. Now this guy has brainwashed the other 52% of the country that rich people are bad and should be demonized and punished.

    Vent #7: Obama has become the great divider. Dividing us between rich and poor, between socialists and capitalist, between people of color, between tradition and progressivism, between individual responsibility and government dependency, between freedom and government control. How much respect should we give someone like that. We have called most of the other leaders that have done this to their nation a Dictator.

    Vent #8: You are right plus you forgot To mention JFK. Morals or money only matter when it concerns a republican.

    8th venter --- there is a HUGE difference between Romney and Kerry.
    It's the WAY Romney made his money and his ( Romney's ) attitude toward the common man in the street.
    Romney made his money destroying companies and putting thousands of people out of work and shipping their jobs to China. Yes, he saved a couple of companies but he destroyed far far more.
    Romney expressed his scorn for the 47% and got caught at it on tape.
    Kerry was NOTHING like Romeny. He didn't destroy companies and put people out of work. And if he ever scorned anyone it would be the arrogant super rich like Romney who think they are so superior because they were born wealthy.

    You can't make this stuff up, folks:

    Chat, responding to vent 1 which was completely apolitical: "if you're a liberal/progressive blah blah blah"

    Chat, responding to vent 3 which was about Republicans throwing MItt under the bus: "our country is dominated by the Takers instead of the Makers"

    Chat, responding to vent 6 which already divides us along right/left lines: "now this guy has brainwashed the other 52% of the country blah blah blah"

    Chat, responding to vent 7:

    "Obama has become the great divider"

    To the venter who tied Gov. Romney to the Twinkie situation, perhaps you should smoke more of your medical marijuana to help clear your thinking. Obama has stronger ties to Hostess Twinkies through his precious unions and their ludicrous demands.

    Angry parents have forced an Austin school district to cancel elementary-school performance of a play about two male penguins at a Bronx Zoo who bond and raised a chick. Jonathan Saenz of the group Texas Values said the play "tries to promote a difference marriage difinition, which is clearly illegal" and leads to the discussion of sex,"

    Truth Seeker --- well you sure need to be seeking some truth because it's obvious you wouldn't know it if it bit you on the buttt.

    You said " his precious unions and their ludicrous demands " referring to Obama.Obama has NOT kept one single promise to any labor union. He wouldn't even appear in Wisconsin to help the unions in their struggle against the governor there.And, this company had absolutely no intention of continuing the business. They are following the Bain Vulture Capitalism model of doing business.They loaded Hostess up with debt, tripled the CEO's pay and then filed bankruptcy.The unions you so despise gave Hostess 100 million dollars in concessions and then the company turns around a files bankruptcy again and demands more concessions on top of the 100 million already given.The workers would be working for less than minimum wage if they gave the company what it is demanding.The company knows the employees won't / can't give them what they are demanding and they have no intention of doing anything but selling off the assets just as Romney does.The U.S. needs to pass legislation outlawing vulture capitalism and stripping companies of thier assets.

    God bestowed upon all of us who are fortunate enough to live here a truly magnificent favor.

    venter4: have you ever heard of or seen a dust storm ?

    venter6: I agree with you ,pity is the only thing you can do for the left now, because they can't get anymore pathetic, ok thats not true, the left can always find a way to go lower into the depths of destruction of this great nation.

    venter8: and AZ willie- Mitt made his money buy working for a living. If you would listen to to something besides left winged liberal media you would know Mitt donated his entire inhieritance to charity then started from scatch,that's what real americans do they don't stand there with hand out saying gimme gimme gimme like liberals do. And just to bring you up on current affairs John Kerry got his fortune the old fashioned liberal way, he married into it he did'nt earn a penny of it.
