Wrong question. Here's the question: What is better for America: for the unemployed to be hungary and homeless and have nothing left to lose? (see: France 1792) or: for the unemployed to have a bare-minimum subsistence unemployment compensation to tide them over until the jobs return (see: America 1941)

The American citizens being purged from the rolls are the ones who make minimum wage or less. If they are on your cruise ship at all, it is as the dishwasher in the back.

Southern states have a history of purging voting rolls of non-white American citizens (or "losing" their voter registration paperwork). It was precisely to prevent southern states like Florida from doing this that the Voting Rights Act was passed in the 1960s.

Florida and other southern states have a history of preventing non-whites from voting. This latest purge of 182,000 non-white Americans from the voting rolls is more of the same. It is to prevent this that we have the Voting Rights Act.

Local television has interviews with American citizens "purged" by this process in Florida, including a World War II vet and several naturalized citizens of hispanic ethnicity. Under the Republicans, if your name was selected for purging, you must obtain original documents and travel to one of a handful of processing centers, sometimes over a hundred miles away, stand in line and maybe you can get back onto the voting roles that way. It's obvious that the goal here is partisan and not "ensuring only legal voters vote".

Maryland was actually my first choice but we just couldn't jump the hurdles. We have family in Pennsylvania but the education system there is suffering too. So if Walker wins, looks like it will be Massachusetts.

We've been trying to decide where to move our small business - Pennsylvania, Massachusetts or Wisconsin. If Walker survives the recall, Wisconsin will be crossed off our list. We have school-aged children in the family, and if not stopped, Walker's war against teachers will reduce the quality of schools in that state.

Don't worry about Cory Booker, Wall Street protects his own. When he wants to, he can get a high-paying job with a Bain-type firm.

Please investigate the ties between Cory Booker and the Wall Street crowd. Has he or a member of his family received a high-paying attendance optional job? (or does one await him after his term in office, like the Koch brothers have arranged for Gov. Walker?) A no-interest loan on real estate priced below-market? Advance notice of IPOs? Large donations to his re-election campaign chest? I can readily understand a man allowing himself to be bought off (see: Boehner, Ryan); and it can happen regardless of skin color.

Rush Limbaugh called a woman, a private citizen, a prostitute; the reason: she supported policies he opposed. That's not "debate" that is "bullying" and should be condemned.
