    I think words like "fair media" belong right up there with "military justice"...... Seems we just no longer have a media source that will just present the facts and allows us to form our own opinion. If corporations or any business for that matter operated with the same efficiency as our government they wouldn't be in business for too long!!!

    You're right, from now until November it appears the Obstructionist Party indeed has a stranglehold on Congress! Not that it will do a bit of good, but I did send an email to both of our South Dakota Senators and our one House Representative asking them it they were going to do anything between now and November or should the voters start looking for someone who would?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Ted,
    Both Alan and Dave can of course speak for themselves, but I think you misunderstood Dave's post. He's not asking for more laws and regulations. We talked earlier about the Administration blocking the Keystone Project which would have brought thousands of construction jobs to the US, and the fact that the action was a pure & simple campaign ploy to keep the extremist environmentalists happy until they've contributed their funds into the campaign coffers. Proponents of the project have said that they don't believe it is dead, but that it will be delayed until after the 2012 election, and I believe that is what Dave was referring to in his message to his representatives. You may have to look back to the roots of this thread, Craigslist notice??. for the history.

    You make a very good point about the slimy trail of bailout money somehow finding it's way back to the campaing coffers. To me campaign reform, limiting the amount that can be spent would be one of the best things that could be done. I also agree 100% with your statement that the government cannot give anything that was not first taken from someone else. I think this dovetails with another famous quote, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
