and we thought Clinton had a wacky administration.

Let's see Otto... you have a dubious claim that some guy in the tea party sent you an email. You don't know if the gist of the email is true. You make the false insinuation that you are a conservative. You conclude by stating that all tea partiers should be referred to using a crude, perverse sexual act, if the accusation of a single un-named source who may or may not ba associated with the tea party has made a false statement in a email that most likely does not exist. I suppose that's about par for the course for a lib.

The government wants to have a say in not only what they create, but in every other aspect of our lives as well. Bad news for you libs though, we won't tolerate it. Last November was a small start, we'll continue voting the Dems out in 2012.

We have 2 problems - our government is incompetent and political correctness trumps sanity. We know scanners are ineffective since they don't detect objects in various body cavities, and we know most of the other security measures are useless as well. For example - do any of you actually think TSA agents at an international airport are capable of spotting fake ID from anywhere in the world? (If you do, give me a call.. I have some swamp land for sale). But of course we put all this nonsense in place so our leaders can assure us they are taking security precautions, or more likely so they can simply increase government power over us. Common sense and actual effective measures like profiling don't stand a chance in our PC world. If you...

I think all guys should opt out of the scanner and take the crotch examine. In fact, give the TSA morons a memorable day. Have your wife or girl friend give you a pre-screening rub to 'prepare' you for your TSA agent. Tell the TSA guy it's not a gun in your pants, you're just happy to see him :-)

How long are we going to put up with this crap? The country is broken. Here's a clue for our pompous wind bags in Congress - we have plenty of regulations already, in fact way, way too many. So do something useful. Like - repeal the Obamacare nonsense, pass the Fair Tax, cut all spending by a minimum of 20 percent immediately, get the gov work force under control as far as pay and benefits, while you're at it teach gov workers how to actually work, protect our borders, cut the PC crap and start common sense screening at airports, pass some legislation that would put a 10 year mandatory sentence on the idiots that create spyware and viruses, reduce taxes, reduce taxes for busnesses so our jobs stop going to India, etc,etc. There are...

Too bad people aren't bright enough to demand the Fair Tax.

Great comment regarding being responsible for our own economic well being. Unfortunately those days are quickly coming to a close. It will not matter how responsible one is, how well one plans for and saves for retirement, how well one handles his/her own finances. Those items are now out of personal control. The government spending can only result in crushing taxes, inflation and the inevitable collapse of the dollar. Our savings that we spent years and years of responsible living to accumulate won't be worth squat. I see no bright future for this country. We can get rid of the Dems in 2010, but the republicans are way out of touch as well and also worship at the same altar of re-election policy. It's over.

Apparently op ed writers, pollsters, talking heads,etc are as out of touch as the politicians. Let me help y'all out - we, the people of this country, are PI$$ED OFF! We have had it with the clowns in Washington. What happened in 2009 is that such a bunch of complete total idiots got in power that it became obvious to even those that normally sleep through politics that our country is going under. That's over. In 2010 we will get the Dems out of power, but that only gives us some breathing room, prolongs the destruction of America a little, while we find some decent honorable, honest people with principles and character to send to Washington to straighten this mess out. If it's not too late.

Any pollster that thinks the 2010 elections are only on the radar for the Washington elite is clearly out of touch. The productive people in this country absolutely can't wait for 2010 to get rid of these friggin Democrats. Let me repeat.. those of us that work for a living (meaning the private sector, non-union) CAN NOT wait till 2010 to vote the spenders, looters, socialist, pompous windbags out.
