If there are obnoxious trolls who want to instigate a flame war then the admin will deal with them. Even so, some former trolls have been rehabilitated so that they can engage others in a respectful manner here. Of course, tempers and POVs will flare from time to time, but on the whole this site allows for differences of opinion. I've posted comments that have agreed with the majority and have posted some where I was definitely in the minority, but I'm still here and haven't been banned.

I think it's the one that supports the report that when his mother appeared in Washington, she still didn't know how to diaper the baby. The theory is that she gave birth in a maternity home and the diapering was taken care of while she was there. That theory has been around awhile.

Anyway, if we all agreed on one thing, it would be to send Congressman and women who were strict constitutionalists to Washington, that's the whole point of the constitution, it allows us all to get on with our liberty intact and agree to disagree. As long as we keep sending party affiliated politicians to Washington, we are doomed. Remember the Republicans who wouldn't say a bad word about Bush? Now we have Blue dog democrats who wont say a bad word against Obama! People need to be intellectually honest, that is why I like this site. Hillary supporters who have turned on Obama because he is a fraud. Out of interest,do you all think that Hillary should not have taken the Secretary of State position? I think she is being shut out of the limelight, if she hadn't taken the job, she could be attacking Obama now, and be ready to challenge him in 2012! Just a though. Ciao Yes, I like that, unfortunately nobody trusts anyone, and with good reason: remember Ralph Nader (2000) Nader supporters were betrayed by Dems.

We live in a brave new world now, many of our politicians have sinister intent, so I believe it is too late to set up a universal health care system, ie single payer, without sinister intent coming through, ie kill off the old and infirm. My concern is that people should be able to pay for what they like, read Ed Koch's article, "falling out of love with Obama" he goes into the fact that at 84 he should be able to pay for whatever he wants, triple bypasses etc. - under Obamacare, there will be no such option. another thing about the NHS - UK healthcare system- is that the govt. does not come knocking on your door to check on whether you are raising your children or to give you end of life counseling every 5 years! If you have read the bill - you will know exactly what I am talking about.

You know what happened on Hillbuzz a bunch of months ago. Republicans coming to a blog (run by democrats, Hillary supporters, who had even named the blog for Hillary) and calling Hillary supporters "trolls" and literally telling them to go away. Many Hillary dems (as I explained on HB at the time) had a home at Taylor Marsh, and she became an Obama supporter overnight and allowed bots to take over the comment section and attack the regular posters until they left. It was traumatic to many when it happened, and to have it happen later from the other side on Hillbuzz was re-traumatizing. People are explaining to you now, long after the fact, how Obama suppporters treated Hillary supporters. It wasn't any prettier when those particular republicans (and you were one of them)swarmed a Hillary blog and attacked Hillary supporters. To this day, the vast majority of Hillary supporting regulars no longer post there. It used to be a thriving blog. NQ is a huge blog, home to many people. And it's safe for Hillary supporters, in large part because the republicans who come here are very decent people. Tammy, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

By then it will be too late. The damage will be done and STILL, <strong>I bet there will not be Three days to read any part of the bill,</strong> much less print and distribute the conference bill to members of Congress or the public that actually WANT to read and inform themselves. I believe wether intended or not, the mere fact that there are not any "solid" vantage points from which to navigate this monster as a business owner must be a nightmare. Seems to me if BO is engaging in some insider trading.

Much like a salesman sensing that his long and practiced sales pitch is going sour, even in front of an obviously friendly audience, Obama is sounding shrill, defensive, and DESPERATE. His false persona is fading, and short of completely removing him from the public eye, there is little that his handlers like Axelrod will be able to do. We're starting to see the angry little Barry Obama that I always saw lurking behind his phony pacific facade. Narcissists easily spend most of their energy maintaining their image, because an attractive, but false image is all they have in the absense of real accomplishments, and meaningful interpersonal relationships. When the Narcissist is confronted with more than a small circle of acquaintences that he/she needs to impress, the efforts of concealing the ugly and deceitful inner person become exhausting. Meltdown. It WILL get nastier before it get's better. Teak, I’m watching the President’s town hall right now.
