What is in this for the S&P? As has been asked: Where was the S&P during the prime mortgage deboggle? Where was the S&P on the "stimulus," socialized banking and socialized medicine? Where was the S&P when Obama was taking over the auto companies? Where was the S&P last December when Harry Reid and the democrats refused to pass a budget? Why is the S&P only talking to the republicans? Why is the S&P favoring the democratic plan? What has Obama promised the S&P? I say there is something awfully fishy about this whole thing.

My solution exactly.

I totally agree. As my mother used to say, I would trust Pelosi any farther than I could throw her. She is simply trying to make it appear that the Demos want to cut the budget, and then when the Republicans don't agree to her terms, she will say that the Republicans don't want to cut the budget. The Demos are as slimy as a worm.

I would like to know what you see as untruths in what Arby wrote? What he stated is exactly what is going on. As for hateful negative associations, is that what you call the unions and black panthers?

You left out the main word describing most people in this nation: GREEDY

We not only need to go after the illegals, but also the businesses that pay them less than minimum with cash under the table.

Too bad the union members are so self centered and greedy that they don't see this.

I listened to most of his speech in El Paso, but finally had to mute my TV. I got tired of his speech of lies.

I suppose none of the democrats have cheap labor. Bull!

That is an insult to Flip Wilson.
