We reserve the right in Texas not to pay for healthcare until we need it.

You must be kidding or a democrat troll. Everyone with a brain should know that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. Even a "C" student can figure that out. Speaking of academic records, what kind of grades did Obama make now?

XJ. The history you learned is not correct. FDR kept this country in depression far longer than necessary with his socialistic solutions. Wise up and read "New Deal - Raw Deal".

Well said. I am also tired of hearing about a woman's right to kll her own child and the libs crying about criminals who have committed heinous crimes being put to death. How delusional!

Obama always says what he thinks the public wants to hear. He says whatever the poll reveals about public opinion. He then does whatever he wants to do to further his agenda, which is that he wants to bankrupt the treasury and then everyone will turn to him to save them from economic ruin. The American people have been asleep, but now we are fully awake. I agree with every cut Mr. Stossel suggested and I have a few more: The Dept. of Energy, which was supposed to help get us off of foreign oil. My suggestion is to do away with DOE and the moratoriums which keep us from fully exploring our land and sea and "drill, baby, drill." Also, we need to cut the salaries of all federal workers by at least 20%. This includes the Congress,...

Don't talk to me about choice. It's murder, pure and simple. How is it that this society can continue to look the other way when it comes to the wholesale murder of millions of vulnerable lives, yet at the same time react in horror when a convicted murderer is condemned to death? It makes no sense. God help us.

Why is Perry upset? Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. America is the type of nation our forefathers fought against over 200 years ago. Perry speaks the truth. I am proud of him and proud that I voted for him as our Texas governor. Most people I've spoken to about the topics agree with the governor and me. Perry was also the one who said last year that if the federal government gets too far afield, Texas reserves the right to secede. Again, Gov. Perry, who may have been a big government man in the past, shows that even if his heart is not in the right place, his rhetoric is. I hope his heart is in the right place. Time will tell. This Texan is going to keep an eye on him and on DC. The vote may be today, but this is only the...

Voters have been remiss. Not enough of us have paid attention to Washington and to our own state capitols. I've heard some predictions of turnouts in the range of 65%. That's good, but not good enough. Until the pols in Washington and in the state capitols realize that at least 80% of us are paying attention, I don't think they will pay attention to the electorate. Hopefully they will be afraid, very afraid.

My parents hated FDR also. If they were alive today, they would be the first ones to tell us "young people" that Obama is like FDR on steroids, or something similar.

Excellent article. These RINO's are truly named. When the elitists, like Charlie Crist, Lisa Murkowski and Arlen Specter can't support the conservatives when they are on the ascendancy, then you know that it's all about the power.
