"To Friday’s Venter, I am OK with your idea of looking at all the college transcripts of McCain, Palin, Limbaugh, if we could only see Obama’s. Of course this liberal Venter is not educated enough to tell you that his hero spent millions of dollars sealing his records from the public! Where did Obama get the money to pay these lawyers and what is he hiding? I would imagine there is enough information in these transcripts to bring down this so-callled President!"
"To the person who said China had GM plants in their country, this is good because when they buy GM cars some of their money comes to the USA. You sound to me like a person that owns a foreign car, which means you are part of the problem. You think just because a car is assembled here it is an American car and you are so wrong. Buy cars that help our economy. I worked 33 years at GM and I served in the U.S. Army and I would never own a foreign car."
"Why are Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and veterans benefits considered ‘entitlements?’ The Mitt Romneys of the country pay a lower tax rate than I do as a construction worker but that’s not an entitlement?"
"Now the truth about Susan Rice comes out. Sens. McCain and Graham are the ones deceiving the American people. It’s all about their quest for more power in the U.S. Senate. Endorsing Sen. John Kerry and opening up his seat for the Tea Party fanatic Koch brothers’ poster boy Scott Brown of Massachusetts who was voted out for his fanaticism on Nov. 6 — you just can’t make this stuff up. It’s time for McCain to resign for the good of the country."
"Nov. 29, 2012: a day that the Zionist lobby never dreamed would take place. Palestine approved by more than two-thirds of the United Nations for Observer State status. One hundred thirty-eight nations of the world voted yes; America, Israel and 7 others voted no. Forty-one coward nations — Great (now that’s a joke) Britain being one of them — abstained. No wonder Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak quit yesterday. He saw the handwriting on the wall. From today forward, any atrocities or human rights violations would be investigated by the war crimes division of the International Criminal Court. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Be afraid, be very afraid."

WHO KILLED THE TWINKIE: No, "Hostess was smashed by vulture capitalists "who loaded the company with debt and earned millions in fees, and by "incompetent managers" who gave themselves huge raises as the company faltered. The CEO led the company back into bankruptcy earalier this year got a 300% pay raise even as the company stopped contributing to workers' pension funds. "To add insult to injury," the current CEO has asked a bankrupcy judge's permission to pay executives $1.75 million in bonuses. And somehow the unions are to blame for this fiasco? Salon.com

The United States is home to ground breaking medical research, but so are other countries with much lower cost structures. Any American who's had a hip or knee replacement is standing on French innovation. Deep-brain stimulation to treat depression is a Canadian breakthrough. Many of the wonder drugs promoted endlessly on American television, including viagra, comes from British, Swiss or Japanese labs. In terms of finance we force 700,000 Americans into bankruptcy each year because of medical bills. In France, the number of medical bankruptcies is zero. Britain: zero. Japan: zero. Germany: zero. A study by the Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Health Alliance linked 45,000 deaths annually to lack of health insurance.

VENT #4: “Now the truth about Susan Rice comes out.”
What truth?? Blaming the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya on an anti-Islamic video rather than terrorism?
After U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s unsuccessful visit to Capitol Hill, it is clear that even if she receives the support of every Senate Democrat, to replace Clinton as secretary of state, she will need the support of five Republicans to gain a filibuster-proof majority.

Venter # 1, I agree about the college transcripts. however we can't forget about the Liberal double standard.
Venter # 4," Now the truth about Susan Rice comes out." What truth is that? The fact that she deceived us? If you can spin this one to make it look like Rice is the Victim then I'm sure you must think the Roman's were also the victims at Christ's Crucifixion?

Hopefully this will move us closer to treating Palestinians like people. I'm for the one state solution. Give each adult a vote, each Jew, each Christian, each Muslim and see whose candidates populate the legislature. Apartheid sucks. Jimmy Careter saw that years ago.

Nov. 21, 2012: After eight days of deadly fighting between Israel and the Islamist terrorists, Israel and Hamas (of the Gaza Strip) officially agreed to a cease-fire . . . and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton celebrated victory.
"Nov. 29, 2012:” The General Assembly of the United Nations voted overwhelmingly to reward the Palestinian Terrorist Authority by granting the West Bank, Gaza, and east Jerusalem recognition as a "nonmember observer state" at the UN . . . and former president Jimmy Carter celebrated victory.

Vent #1 Your an idiot.
Vent#2 At 65 years old I've never owned a foreign car and never will.
Vent#3 Every working American and veteran paid dearly for those so-called entitlements, while every city, state, and federal project in this country is held up by every corporate board in America to gifting them billions in corporate welfare far and above anything that the working class will ever realize.
Vent#4 As so as the filibuster reforms are enacted byte new senate Susan Rice will become our next Secretary of State, and John Mccain will lose his seat the intelligence comittee and be relegated to the committee Indian affairs.
Vent#5 Once again the world will suffer the curse of religious extremism and, blood spent for nothing.

Vent#1--Seriously, transcripts of ruin? Your logic, like your intellect, is nearing critical mass! Turn off the Murdock channel, and begin contemplating your navel. After a few years, you may become a sentient being again.
Vent#2--GM makes autos all over the world. Are you telling me that GM is the equivalent of even the most average American? If so, why did they move plants, and testing facilities, from the USof A, to Mexico and beyond? And, do all the parts come from the USA? Really, once again, there are no truly American automakers. This has been the case, for many, many years now...the "Buy American" bumper sticker on your Chevy was made in China, and the computer you use, to wave your cyber flag, was made by someone who could live off your monthly trash bill, for a year. Most people buy cars that they can afford, that are reliable and economical. GM is relatively new to that market. I wouldn't drive a GM product, or a Ford, for that matter, unless I could afford to use it as a backup for my Jaguar, which I can't afford, either. That's why I drive Hondas--so that I can get to work, without spending my weekends working on my vehicle. If you were truly into buying an American-made vehicle, you'd have to get a Harley--but, you better hurry, they may not always be made in Milwaukee, either..
Vent#3--I get what you're saying, however, they are called entitlements because one pays into the system, and is therefore, entitled to get the benefit, regardless of financial status. It has very little to do with the "Mitt Romneys" of the world, but everything to do with those of his ilk who would take away those entitlements, and expect that money to go to the gambling casino, otherwise known as Wall Street. Meantime, even Mitt is entitled, provided he has the work credits (which I doubt he has).
Vent#4--Political showmanship is the stock and trade of McCain, especially since his failed election runs, of the last decade and more. Nevermind that Ambassadors and cabinet ministers are routinely used by every administration to disseminate political propaganda...it is interesting that this time they mention blocking her job as Secretary of State, before she's even been asked. Could there be some reason for this pre-emptive strike on her career? Hmm? I think you have the gist of it, even if it may not be entirely the John Kerry thing...for now, they are just flinging stuff at the wall, to see what sticks.

Venter #3: Those are entitlements because you paid into them and are entiled to their benefits. One of the problems is many people have been added that DIDN'T pay into them. Also the critereia that they were originally established under has changed but government didn't make changes to adjust for life expectancy increase as one example.
Last year Mitt Romney paid over 3 million dollars in taxes and donated over 3 million dollars to charity. I think he did his FAIR SHARE!
