Too funny!!!! The energy plan that was supposed to save us wasted resources, increased taxes, destroyed jobs and inhibited a national economy to the point of economic collapse. And the Democrats want us to pursue this policy. ROFLMAO!!!! Green activists are watermelons. Green on the outside, red on the inside.

And reelect Obama. The two party system sucks, but until one of the other outlying parties becomes a contender, your choices are to vote for Obama, vote for Romney, waste your vote on a third party and help Obama. That's about it. Please give me options to consider that refutes the above statement.

Take responsibility is what they won't do. When called on any program that doesn't deliver expected results or budgetary over runs, the typical socialist-progressive-liberal-democrat response is "Oh, look! A tree!"

The bailout of GM forced the mortgage holders that had their mortgages secured with real property to take fifty cents on the dolloar while the unions that had had unsecured debt paid off in full. Yes, a successful GM bailout screwed banks, businesses and retirement funds so the unions could profit. Great deal for the UAW, not so good for anyone with a 401k or Roth IRA.

Let's see: Lied to Congress. Doctored data. Intimidated female emplyees. Derailed an official investigation into nuclear waste storage safety. Shaking fits of rage when crossed. Democrat. Alternate energy demagogue. Why am I not surprised by any of this? It fits the socialist-progressive-liberal stereotype so well.

A balance, yes. But no crony capitalism that has been so rampant during this administration. To cite one example: Taking the secured credit stakes (secured by property) and forcing them to take 50 cents on the dollar so that the unsecured loans to unions could be paid in full. That is a gross breach of conduct and one of the worst political payoffs in history. GM should have been allowed or encouraged to go bankrupt and renegotiate.

Life is NOT fair, nor should it be. According to our founding documents, all men are created equal. Are some men born with a silver spoon in their mouth while others have a wooden one? Yes, but you can fix it. Get a job, get an education, try to better yourself. There are dozens of programs ran by the Department of Redundancy Department that provide job training, vocational training and subsidized education. Use them! Should we take care of the disabled, the sick and the lame? Of course we should! But NEVER the lazy! Green eyed, envy is never pretty no matter how you say it. "It's not fair!" belongs on the third grade playground not in a discussion of economics.

Claire McCaskill is moderate for a Democrat. Ben Nelson is somewhat moderate when forced to be. Mark Udall of Colorado isn't too insane. There, that's three. Now you name three Republicans that aren't extremists. Oh, yeah that's ALL of them.
