A prime example of the DOJ overstepping the rights of states...these elected officials created the map...it should not be based on race period...by either side...but by the DOJ getting involved it again becomes political and so far the DOJ has shown it is totally polical and no longer fair and balanced in overseeing the laws....it has become a political machine of the democrat socialist party...just look at what the DOJ is doing in SC...you cannot get food stamps without identity proof but some how a voter id is against minorities...give me a break...this again is all political so that the democrats can stuff the ballot boxes along with their union thugs....

The field of repub candidates does not represent republicans...it again represents the elites, the stand in line repubs...just as they nominated McCain, Dole, et al....obviously, the bigwigs in DC and the repub party are clueless as to what their base wants to see in a candidate...we all would like someone who is actually a conservative patriot who will stand up to the liberal leftist elites in the media and DC as well as the democrats...instead we keep getting these wannabee loved candidates who would rather please the liberal press and their fellow democrats instead of the base and conservatives...

There is no need to personally attack any President...even though he does it on a daily basis...but you sure can and MUST attack his policies...you just have to talk about the energy mess, the deficit mess, and you cannot let the lies stay out there...you have to start defending yourselves, speak up and get out there...challenge the media for fairness, challenge, fight, and for once do something other than try to make friends with the dems...

Just for once would like to see the republicans put up a candidate that the base could actually vote for and not hold their noses...do not like any of the candidates presently...none are strong enough to get in there and actually fight for what is right...for far too long the DC republicans have been a bunch of wishy washy do nothings...heaven forbid we disagree with someone's politics...if there was ever a time to stand up for something it is now but not with these washed over washed up life time politicans.

The deficit increases by the minute, SS is being ripped off by the day...when you give a payroll tax break, the people you are hurting are the retirees...baby boomers are retiring at an unprecedented rate thus when you decrease SS you are robbing them...it is insane...additionally, Obama lies on a daily basis and then his press core fixes the lie...but the lie remains out there...personally am sick and tired of non stop campaigning on our tax dollars and at the expense of every single working taxpayer and SS recipient...life is not fair...many times you get what you put into it...if you want something enough you are willing to sacrifice for it...not take it away from someone else...

That was the intent from the getgo...Obama is following Carter's lead...and you see where that got us...These dems and their unions are the ones destroying the USA from within...look at who contributes the most to the dems...unions and banks...and look at what they are doing to the USA and have done to the USA...wakeup USA...that's why this administration is destroying our energy freedom as well as destroying capitalism...we could and should have been energy free years ago but for the government...and the government is the ones spending us into economic slavery.

Housing issues were just another excuse for the taxpayers to pay for the campaign stop...when will the public wise up...and when will the repubs start issuing bills to the dems for these campaign stops paid with taxpayer dollars...it has been just one free ride for the dems after another...the corruption that is rampant...it is unbelieveable how they are getting away with this without anyone complaining, nor actually stopping it......we all have lost equity in our homes...all of us...and that is the fault of the government Fannie and Freddie...we were all robbed and we all should be able to take our losses off our income taxes...

No more tricks, no more gimmics...we need a responsible budget that actually cuts and cuts deep...we have all had enough of the gimmics, tricks, fictious numbers, etc...stand up repubs and do something right...

Send all the participants a bill for this bogus trip..

To even think about raising the debt limit with this news...is insane, irresponsible, and reprehensible...Congress needs to get itself under control and that means cutting everywhere and anywhere start with their pensions...we cannot afford Congressional pensions they should go there serve and go home....Winer should not get a pension...he used government property on government time and should be prosecuted and his pension revoked...as well as Dodd getting a pension when he almost bankrupted the country with FannieMae/Mac...he did not do his job he was supposed to be doing oversight of the agency...he should be made to pay a price for his fiscal malfeasance...along with Barney Frank, and everyone else in DC...government is way out of...
