"Kudos to Lloyd Eskildson, ‘Forum-12/7’, ‘Schools should follow what works’ ... We’d return to our former fourth in the nation high standard of education if more folks thought as he does."

"Republicans should realize that the melting pot of people this country has always been so proud of will never produce any gold or future Republicans if you don’t mix in some gold in the first place. Wall St. or super-PACs aren’t the only place to make an investment. Try the melting pot."

"It’s said a picture is worth a thousand words and to prove the point, just look at the photos and TV coverage of those rushing to get their stash of ‘Mary Jane’. Nothing wrong with those folks, just broken down hippies of the ‘60s and recently inducted ‘potheads’."

"I just saw a poll where Congress has a 74 percent disapproval rating and a 23 percent approval rating. The pollster must have talked to a lot of congressmen/congresswomen to get such a high approval rating."

"I seem to recall that when the Cardinals were getting their new stadium they promised that they would play a lot better than they did at Sun Devil Stadium. Well, the taxpayers footed the bill for your stadium but you still play like a Pop Warner team! Bidwill, when are you refunding the taxpayer’s money? I bet Hamilton High would whip these bums!"

    Venter #3: You've missed your calling. Apparently you can diagnose the medical affliction of each and every person in the picture just by looking at them? No need for catscans or any other expensive diagnosis equipment. You would have been some kind of Superdoctor.

    I noticed the media always use a picture of some long haired bearded dudes that look like homeless people.

    They deliberately try to make the people looks as bad as possible.

    They work in conjunction with the government stopping banks from processing credit card transactions from the dispensaries and co-ops even though the transactions are LEGAL.

    They want the crooks to try to rob the places so they can claim the dispensaries cause crime.

    Rubio: How old is the earth? All geological and fossil evidence points to the earth being 4.14 billion years old. Rubio's frantic dodging of scientific reality demonstrates how
    "biblically literal conservatism continues to hold sway over the GOP." Rubio, as a Flordia state legislator, compared the teaching of evolution to communist indoctrination. In other words, Rubio shares the dangerous "anti-radical mind-set" of the far Right. So if he becomes president, he'll join those who deny the overwelming evidence that carbon emissions lead to global warming and that tax cuts don't lead to economic growth.

    VENT #5: "……the Cardinals”

    It’s 12/12/12, and the Arizona Cardinals have placed $63 million quarterback Kevin on season-ending injured reserve. And he may have played his final game for the Cardinals.

    His deal $9 million salary deal in 2013 and a $2 million roster bonus in March will have to be reworked.

    Fifth Venter, I told you so. When Bidwell moved from St. Louis I was following the Rams in LA. Then the Rams went to St. Louis and Bidwell started to complain about his stadium. Rather than raising 100s of millions of dollars to build Bidwell a new stadium [something St. Louis was happy to do for the Rams] I suggested we raise $50 million for Bidwell on condition that he and his team leave town. Too bad Glendale did not listen to me! How did I know so much about Bidwell? I moved to Phoenix from St. Louis years before Bidwell did!

    Venter#3 has some rather interesting talents. He can tell the difference between a broken down hippie and someone with chronic pain, or cancer. And, he doesn't seem to understand that saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words", very well, either...in order to be worth a thousand words, there has to be a point implied.

    Sometimes, a few words can be worth a thousand pictures, too. In his case, the words are just meaningless worth...

    The rest of the vents this time--hmm...meh...

    Greed-->avarice-->sport-->business-->but mostly greed...

    Vent#2-- It's pretty clear by your vent that you know nothing about Republicans.
    I don't know how old you are but I'm coming up on 50 and when I was a young boy the things we were taught was you could be anything you wanted to be, do anything you wanted to do to get to your goal, you could be president if you put your mind to it and WORKED for it.
    But now days it seems like the thought process is let's get someone who has a job to foot the bills for all those who don't want to do anything for themsevles.

    The melting pot you refer to was built by WORKING people not by freeloading left winged socialist liberal democRATS. You want to TAKE from the people with a work ethic and GIVE to the people that have no desire to do it for themselves, that speaks volumes about where you come from and the way you were raised.
    In a way I feel kind of sorry for people like you, you have no morals.

    Vent#4-- THATS FUNNY!!

    Bubba-- I think venter#3 would be considered more like Jesus then a superdoctor (the biblicle one not the mexican one.)

    smartvoter....Jesus had compasion for the sick and ailing. Venter #3 falls short on this. Maybe he can try that walking on water thing first. I sugest he perform this in a river with a strong current.

    Venter #3, (B. Jones of Queen Creek), is so sure of his extra sensory powers of diagnosis that he has also written a Letter to the Editor in the Repulic claiming his super powers.
