Ultimately I think people need to elect more moderate/reasonable politicians to the house/senate. That would require educated people who care about local politics outside of the presidential noise which I can't see happening anytime soon. Like I've said before...no American politician could possibly have a great term in the presidency right no IMO

That's a very complicated question. I don't have the answer. But the game of "this for that" and blocking everything you can and just competing for every little tread of momentum party wise is what I refer to. And Nancy Pelosi and many democrats are equally as guilty as the Tea Party champions so don't think I'm just throwing the far right under the bus.

Well as for your first paragraph you are ultimately not satisfied with the way Washington works. Neither am I. Either way, "we" adopted it. As for the second paragraph, you are entitled to your opinion I would never call it wrong. I would cover birth control (for what most people I talk to in real life consider obvious reasons).

Like it or not as a nation we have adopted healthcare reform. With such a change we have adopted standards. Some things are in, some things are out. Women's reproductive healthcare is in, as it should be IMO. If you don't agree, chalk it up to one of many things we all pay for (in this case through premiums) that you don't want to pay for. There are a lot of those things I pay for I don't want to pay for. I don't call the people that money goes to entitled. As for the religious argument. I don't see pacifists across the nation getting refunds for the billions upon billions that pay for our wars.

Once upon a time people were living independently. Then to guard against clans of roaming pillagers they got together to form some sense of community contract...a social contract if you will to protect each other. As society gets more complicated people necessarily become more intertwined. The great debate is how you view that social contract (conservatives want it as loose as possible generally and liberals wanting it tighter than that). This and all the issues that flow from this are legitimate political debate. Politics as it has become (certainly since Atwater changed it forever) it just spin and BS and it's all noise. That's the way I see it. "Entitlement" and things of that irk are just stalling progress and logical discussion that we need to strengthen our society.

Haha, it's fine to not like government if that's how you feel. That's a legit position IMO (to an extent). But degrading people is just typical Lee Atwater holdover mentality that has dominated the Repubs party since the late 80s.

When I see anyone from either party talk about high gas prices I automatically assume they are dumb thinking the president can control that. Also...unemployment and debt are a side effect of the greatest collapse and most complicated recovery ever. Unemployment and poverty would be worse if not exactly the same under a conservative leadership. The real issue is that nobody can keep promises or have a truly great presidency with Washington the way it is now. It's completely broken.

The whole "entitlement" push is so stupid. Just be real and admit you don't like government and leave it at that conservatives. No need to degrade people.

The only way they give in is if that pressure comes to a head and the internal working of Iran save the day. Otherwise, I believe Israel. They're strike, and they'll do it alone if they have to.

Well I recognize one other but not because of his play sadly. RIP Darrent Williams. Drive by victim.

God help whoever gets Matt Flynn.

Well here's to hoping he is.

2005 Draft 2 55 Buffalo Bills Roscoe Parrish WR Miami (FL) ACC 2 56 Denver Broncos Darrent Williams CB Oklahoma State Big 12 2 57 New York Jets Justin Miller† CB Clemson ACC 2 58 Green Bay Packers Terrence Murphy WR Texas A&M Big 12 2 59 Atlanta Falcons Jonathan Babineaux DT Iowa Big Ten 2 60 Indianapolis Colts Kelvin Hayden CB Illinois Big Ten 2 61 San Diego Chargers Vincent Jackson† WR Northern Colorado Great West

Manning is an over the hill guy until he proves otherwise no?

Sources close to the team told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen Haha, eat that Shefter. Mort owns you now.

http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2012/02/28/what-is-the-rams-second-overall-pick-really-worth-not-nearly-as-much-as-the-rams-want/ Of course, the issue is what the pick might be worth. Andrew Brandt said, “Draft trade chart flawed with new CBA. Top picks are same quality player at half the price, lesser cost brings higher value.” The Rams front office now loves Andrew Brandt. The second sentence is true. The problem with that statement, though, is that the draft trade chart was already terminally flawed. It was never based on actual results and analysis. It’s real creator was Dallas minority owner Mike McCoy, and what he did was look at four years worth of draft day trades, then create a chart based on the trades that happened so Dallas would have a quick reference of perceived value. Thus, a circular argument was created, draft pick trades are worth what specific teams decided to do between 1987 to 1990, and since then has become a self-fulfilling cycle. CLEVELAND BROWNS (4th overall pick) Using Draft Value Chart, Rams would want: EVERY PICK IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT PLUS 2013 2ND ROUND Using Career Value, Rams should get: THE 4TH OVERALL PICK (1st ROUND) AND THE 36TH OVERALL PICK (2nd ROUND) WASHINGTON REDSKINS (6th overall pick) Using Draft Value Chart, Rams would want: EVERY PICK IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT PLUS 2013 1ST ROUND Using Career Value, Rams should get: THE 6TH OVERALL PICK (1st ROUND) THE 38TH OVERALL PICK (2nd ROUND), AND 6TH ROUND PICK MIAMI DOLPHINS (8th overall pick) Using Draft Value Chart, Rams would want: EVERY PICK IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT PLUS 2013 1ST AND 2ND ROUND Using Career Value, Rams should get: THE 8TH OVERALL PICK (1st ROUND) THE 40TH OVERALL PICK (2nd ROUND), AND 4TH ROUND PICK [WITH ST. LOUIS GIVING UP ITS 7TH ROUND PICK ALSO] KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (11th overall pick) Using Draft Value Chart, Rams would want: EVERY PICK IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT PLUS 2013 1ST AND 2ND ROUND PLUS 2014 1ST ROUND Using Career Value, Rams should get: THE 11TH OVERALL PICK (1st ROUND) AND THE 43RD OVERALL PICK (2nd ROUND) AND THE 75TH OVERALL PICK (3RD ROUND)

Man if we can't afford him who can? We can compete for him if we are serious about bringing in the best talent in the league. Whether he comes is a different story. But who am I kidding, we won't compete for him.

Even w/ Stevie we still have no good WRs corps. I mean remember the end of last season? God forbid if Stevie gets hurt. Sign this man now.

Steve Tweets "Am I missing something???" just now. Possible mistweet on Shefftys part?

Let's be honest. They bought their own hype. Good for Lynch though this contract all stems from one single $18M stiff arm and everybody knows it.

thank god

You make him sound like Steve Johnson honestly.

Just take the top 15 bleacher report guys and subtract RBs and OL and that pretty much gets us where we should be. Had we done this over the past 10 years we would be in the hunt each year. Just don't do anything too smart. Follow the consensus. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1082553-2012-nfl-mock-draft-projecting-all-7-rounds-of-picks/page/10

Well according to some Cowboys I've talked to he's a freak and a good blocker but has major work ethic problems. I mean, I'm all for developing a rapport but this guy has athletic ability that no amount of rapport can make up for on Chandler's part. That said, not sure this guy is the one after reading more about him. Some Cowboy's fans I've talked to couldn't have a lower opinion. (then again...one mans trash is another's treasure)

Yea I saw that on his wiki. Also, when googling him I couldn't help but notice he has nudes on the internet haha
