“President Obama should release all of the documents pertaining to Fast & Furious the same day Mitt Romney releases his detailed plans for health care, immigration, jobs bill, and equal pay for women.”

“Attention Democrat politicians, come this fall the D behind your name on all ballots will stand for DOOMED not Democrat!”

“Why hasn’t Jan Brewer investigated Fast and Furious. It happened in her state under her nose on her watch, involving Arizona citizens. Now all of a sudden she can’t step on federal toes. It sounds more like truth needs to be buried. She’s facing a real crossroads in the west.”

“Colorado wildfires — This could be a case of Jesus getting mad at the Broncos for trading his manservent Tim Tebow.”

“It will be tough too see Steve (#13) go but if anyone deserves a ring it’s him and he will never get one with the Suns. So I hope he gets with a team that he will. Good luck, Steve.”

“I am a U.S. citizen of caucasian complexion and recently got stopped by police while driving my car. The officer asked for my driver license (aka ID) and my insurance card. My question: Was I stopped because of a traffic infraction or my complexion?”

    In the past five years, 68,000 illegal guns have been recovered in Mexico and traced to the U.S. At a minimum, then, 98% of the guns sold by U.S. gun shops that wound up in Mexico had nothing to do with "Fast and Furious." Yet the same republicans in congress so outraged over the program's sale of 2,000 guns have adamantly blocked every effort to monitor and regulate U.S. gun shops. Every day mexicans are being slaughtered by American weapons. But what does the GOP care about ? Embarrassing Eric Holder, and making sure the gun shops keep doing a brisk business. "The partsan shouting will escalate," but the real problem will go unresolved. TheAtlantic.com
    Rep. Darrell Issa, R-CALIF. But asked Sunday whether he had any evidence to back up those claims, against Holder, Rep. Darrell Issa said, "No we don't." Washington Post

    Sunday, 7.1.2012, The Arizona Republic Page B-9 The Justice Dept. announced it would not criminally prosecute Atrorney General Eric Holder following a contempt-of-congress citation passed by the house.

    MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell who criticized Ann Romney for claiming that dressage - sometimes called "horse ballet"- was therapy for her multiple sclerosis, even though her family writes the horse off "as a business rather than a health expense." The Romneys have declared $78,000 in passive losses Rafalca, which would be deducted for any money the mare generated in the future. That's a bit galling, considering that "a mere human children" get only $1,000.00 tax credit each. Romney has pledged to eliminate some tax deductions if elected president said Matt Yglesias in Slate.com and "horse-related expenses" would be a good place to start.

    Target shooters in Tonto Natinal Forest igniting the Sunflower fire that has consumed close to 17,500 acres on May 12, 30 miles N of Mesa. The target shooters loaded a incendiary shotgun shell into a shotgun and fired causing the fire. Why do civilians have the right to purchase incendary devices in the first place ?

    Truth: If the Mexicans are so concerned, why haven't they established checkpoints and mandatory screening on their side of the border? Of course, that might affect the north bound illegal and drug traffic in the process so count that option out.

    Happy Fourth of July everyone!

    And for those of you who oppose gay marriage, or are for religion in our government, I hope you stayed inside and let us FREEDOM loving Americans celebrate without listening to your ignorant hatemongering.

    @ Engaged Voter : Great example of being an ignorant hatemonger ! As President Abe Lincoln said; It is better to remain silent and thought a fool then to open ones mouth and remove any doubt ![wink]

    Putting ignorant hatemongers on notice is an example of being an ignorant hatemonger. I suppose speaking out against the KKK makes one a racist, too?

    Onerebel - You got Lincoln's quote right, now try to understand what it means while you remove your foot from your mouth.

    Vent #1: Yes indeed, Holder should release all the documents pertaining to Fast & Furious and Mitt may release his tax statements when he becomes the official nominee.

    Vent #2: I don't think so. There are still plenty of takers out there that don't want to give up their booty they get from our big government.

    Vent #3: After continually getting slapped down by our Department of Injustice. poor Jan has to sit this one out, after all it was a federal government program.

    Vent #4: I hope Tim proves them wrong. I like Peyton but he is like Steve Nash, at the twilight of their careers.

    Vent #5: A real stab in the back trading Steve to the Lakers. Don't know how long it will be before the Suns may reappear.

    Vent #6: The reason you where stopped? Probably because of your lousy and/or illegal driving is the answer.

    Engaged Voter: If you change the definition of marriage for one group must you change it for all groups? i.e. polygamists. Also FREEDOM isn't free, it requires constant vigilance and dedication to our system of democracy. As for you "ignorant hatemongering" comment, well so much for your "civility".

    "If you change the definition of marriage"
    No need to change anything - where is marriage defined as one man, one woman?

    Please don't (as others have done) point to the Bible! Most of the married couples in that book had multiple partners. Some even slept with their own children! YUK.

    And no playing semantic games with a dictionary. Come clean with your source!

    Engaged Voter: Everyone has the right to celebrate the 4th. You are the one that started attaching your opinions and beliefs to said event FIRST.

    Poor little ignorant onerebel...

    Please explain how standing up to hatemongering and ignorance is "hate spewing".

    I doubt you actually have an answer, given the content of your prior posts (lol), but go on, give it a try anyway.


    Rogue - the Fourth of July is about celebrating Freedom. This is not just my opinion.
