LOL....couldn't believe that when I received that.

Thank you. Just do a search and there is a thread identical to this one from a few short weeks ago. I went to Fordham, the football program there is a complete joke, they've had several 0 win seasons and have only had one decent team in 20 years. Its a glorified high school team, nothing more, and people want to use a 3rd rounder on a kid from there? Entrust the future of our franchise to a kid nobody else wanted and the only reason he got a chance to try out anywhere is because his uncle is a minority owner of the Texans? People said the same things about Kevin Eakin, another QB who came out of there recently, the guy bounced around practice squads and never amounted to anything. We don't have the luxury of wasting high draft picks on long shots from joke programs. I know we're desperate...but c'mon...

huh?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/22...-dem-lawmakers/ Hmm....no proof of anything being said. Something smelled fishy when this came out that day, Twitter practically exploded about the racist comments and the media was covering this as a major story instantly...although there was no proof of any of this, and when Pelosi and the others walked through the same crowd the next day there were no similar incidents. Could it have been a Dem who came into the crowd and yelled an obscenity?

Please....liberals have spit on soldiers returning from Vietnam to Iraq, and things just as worse have been said at Anti-Bush rallies. Both parties have idiots in their extremes, nothing new.

Just read this, which echoes my post: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/why_...iKa6roMSiyrMJ/0 Also, what happens if Dems ram through immigration, and we now have to cover millions more under healthcare? Still think it'll cost 900 billion?

Alright, 9-11 reference is taking it too far... That said, I have the same worry. Not so much for the healthcare side, but for the financial side, 2.5 trillion in new spending with money we don't have. The good news? The majority of spending doesn't start for 3 years due to the budget gimmickry of the dems to get this to sound like it costs 900 Billion. Plenty of time for 1) Republicans to win back the house and start dismantling this bill 2) Obama to get voted out, as he's now going to focus on immigration (instead of jobs) which is only going to infuriate the country more. His negatives are matching Bush right now. Obama is going to keep steaming ahead, part of me admires him for that, but most of me wants to now see him fail after ignoring the 3 to 1 margin of citizens against this bill and reckless spending when he tells Americans they need to be wiser with their money.

Whoops, sorry, flipped yesterday for first time, this is the 2nd day.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/ot...roval-1044.html 47.7 Disapprove 47.5 Approve It got close to flipping a few days ago, then spread out, then flipped today, first time on RealClearPolitics.com which averages out the major polls. Will it stay that way? Probably not, but its been following a negative trend the last few months that is bad news for the White House.

Yes, it is all about him, he's as arrogant has it gets, and people thought Bush was arrogant. He does have a point. If this fails, his power is going to shrink considerably and Immigration, Cap and Tax etc will never pass...he'll be a lame duck. Of course, if they ram this though I can't see those on the fence voting for yet another controversial bill with midterms coming up. Its a lose lose situation for dems in swing states. I read this morning that one of the Dems who was against the bill from the start is leading polls in a McCain won district....very smart of him.

But I am happy he supports the firing of those spoiled underachieving teachers in Rhode Island: http://www.silive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/..._ri_school.html Nothing is intended by posting this part of the story, its just the first I've read that he supports their firing. Maybe the teachers should get off their high horses and work harder instead of blaming the president.

Yes, when you see what London has and you come back to NYC and want it

An article in Politico came out last night saying Dems are targeting our Congressman, Mike McMahon, as he's a moderate dem who voted no on healthcare and they're going to put a liberal up against him if he doesn't vote yes this time. He's a dem who won in our district that voted for McCain and has had a Republican congressman for 20 years. Dems are idiots if they think a liberal would stand a chance here, and McMahon loses his seat in the next election if he votes yes.

Yes, stone age, 100 million americans don't have high speed internet, that's 1 in 3. Ever been to England? Way more advanced technologically in every day life than we are. Yes, won't happen. Wiring for Verizon FiOS started over 5 years ago in NY and guess what? Most don't have access to it. I live in NYC and I don't even have access to it. You think they could bring access to EVERYBODY in 10 years?

I'm one of the few who actually likes Patterson in NY. The guy stood up to Obama, and is at least making an attempt to cut spending.

Because it would accelerate the US transition out of the stone age and into the information age. In 10 years everybody will have access to high speed internet, everything could move over to data. Letting private companies handle it means it prob won't happen in our lifetime. It'd pay off long term for growth in the US and create jobs, it'd have the same impact as Eisenhower's highway system. I marketed Verizon FiOS for two years when nobody knew what it was, I know the way they think.

Ok...now this article says $350 billion. Still not a bad investment. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8569157.stm

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/16/...for-faster-web/ When you hear $15 billion to achieve internet speeds to the entire country that is 25 times faster than what we have today in only 10 years, it sounds like one hell of a bargain considering the spending of the last 10 years. Probably the smartest investment I've seen our gov't make in my lifetime.

Not Obama technically, but Gibbs/White House, which IS Obama's mouthpiece: The White House has claimed, however, that the Senate health care bill will not change U.S. law on abortion or alter the status quo. “The president is not and will not change current federal law in dealing with abortions and healthcare,” asserted White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Thursday. http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/rep..._over_abortion/

Per WGR just now quoting Fox Sports. No link, heard on the radio.

Peggy Noonan in her article today says that federally funded abortion in on page 2,069 of the bill, yesterday Stupak said it is in there as well. Also yesterday, Pelosi and Obama said that there is nothing about federally funded abortion in the bill. I honestly want to see who is right, and am trying to find the bill online but can't find it, anybody have a link? With Stupak and his followers, this detail could be what brings down the bill, so would like to read for myself.

Hmmm.....Massa voted against healthcare and probably would have done so again....then this comes out and he has to resign. Chicago politics at play?
