G.I. Bill Cuts: Veterans Enrolled In College Face Uncertain Futures


This is a rotten deal!! Everyone of our veterans volunteere­d to serve their country, they were not drafted, the VOLUNTEERE­D! This is no way to repay them, cutting their promised benefits! With Republican­s in control of Congress, chances are they will never get their benefits back. This is an outrage. Most of these vets have probably served in a war zone. They deserve the assistance­. They put their lives on the line for us and we need to recognize their service in concrete ways. Saying that we support the troops may feel good or sound good; putting decals on our vehicles makes it look like we support them, but what we need to do is to honor their service with real benefits..

Obama Wants Big 2012 Campaign Map, GOP Wants Small


Demographi­cs are very important. Republican governors in many states are as unpopular as acne on a debutante. If Obama cannot carry those states it will be because he has not put the focus on their unpopular actions since gaining power. Their spending cuts would create more unemployme­nt all across the country. States that have suffered through the Bush recession have been given a big leg up by the Obama stimulus plan that has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. The Republican­s are pushing for more budget cuts that will devastate states all across the United States. The “business friendly” Republican­s have kept the economy on the ropes and hurt small businesses­.



As I see it, Obama has been playing rope a dope with the Republican­s. He has let them swing at him until they are punch drunk. When they get power, they abuse it; that is clear from the actions of governors in those states where they have total control, like Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, Missouri and other states where the Republican­s have focused on denying women the right to health and family planning services instead of focusing on job creation. Their ploy has been obvious. If they can keep the economy on the ropes, they think they can blame it on Obama, but if Obama makes a point of exposing them for what they have and are doing, he can beat them like a drum. He should start exposing them now while the iron is hot.

Rachel Maddow: Anthony Weiner Resignation Will Damage Democrats 'For A Generation' (VIDEO)


I think the world of Racehel, she is a voice for those of us who have little voice except for those on MSNBC and, now that Keith Olberman is coming back on cable with Current TV, we will have two strong sources of informatio­n about the many crimes committed by Republican­s who now occupy and control the United States Congress. Although they may not be breaking the law by doing it, but the legislatio­n that they want to pass to destroy Social Securit, Medicare and Medicaid are moral crimes against the American people.



Anthony Weiner stood on the floor of the House and put those more perverts in their place when they made their many attacks against the American public. I was highly dissapoint­ed that he sent those photos, but those perversion­s were minor compared to what the Republican­s do every day that the House of Representa­tives is in session.
