Can't understand why no one has reported about the wavier rule allowing a percentage. Of companies to waive new healthcare law funny about 1700 companies have done so. But what's more interesting is a majority of those companies have filed from the San Francisco area. Ya know where miss Nancy. Peliosi resides. Why is there a waiver when this Communist. Healthcare. Bill is intened so everyone is forced to participate? ?. Just report it so thevoters can can have there say.

The under-reported story of the year will be the talk of next year. Sadly, the maintream media is totally missing it.

And Obama will be resigning in 2012.

And none of the political pundits saw it coming. You read it here first!

The apparent weakness in the Republican field isn't necessarily based on the candidates themselves but on the inability of the Republican party to form a unified message that both ardent conservatives and borderline independents can agree upon. This message is slowly appearing though as candidates test the waters and determine the best way to pander(populist rhetoric will most likely work the best).

Am sure you hope Ryan’s plan will fail. Obamacare had passed some time ago and have longer time to wait before fully functional if courts don’t rule it down. Wait for $$$ 15 trillion in cut payments to Doctors and hospitals plus more patients. That will help our health system survive ??? Dream on. Death panel will cut losses.

To get obamacare passed with Democrat controlled Congress votes had to be bought, at that, barry did not get what he wanted. In last moments, a USELESS Executive order that no public money would be used for abortion.

82 Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, joined us in defeating up or down debt ceiling. barry is on a roll down hill.

Candidate “Rent is too damn high” could beat barry by election time.Nearly any candidate can beat barry will time comes.

Roff, keep talking up Newt.

Your profuse endorsement of the Newt demonstrated your enlightened insight into the GOP 2012 Field, which isn't any deeper than regurgitating Freedom Works press releases like you usually do.

BSHEA: Dude put down the crack pipe. Obama is one and done and then some when the Dims lose the Senate in 2012. The same candidate that beat Carter will beat Obama. That candidate is Anybody Butobama. Obama has been a monstrous disappointment and the damage his administration has done to the Nation is hideous. There is no way Obama can unwind the damage to have any impact on the elections, the die are cast. Obama trying to change course now is like trying to turn the Titanic at the last minute to avoid the iceberg. While people polled may say they will vote for Obama because they do not want to be demonized as a "racist", which is the only argument the Dims have left. The fact is that when the voting booth curtain closes people will vote with their pocketbooks. Gas at over $5.00, unemployment over 16%, massive spending and borrowing threatening the Nation with Obama asking for more, Obamacare, inflation and almost anything the community orgainizer has touched has turned to crap.

You seem to forget last November. That ground swell is still growing. The Dims and the Statist Rino Republicans need to be afraid because their time in office is closing rapidly.

The Republican band of candidates are back-pedaling with their hair on fire in the face of the Obama juggernaut. This is also to explain why carnival barkers like Trump and Palin have any relevance.

I would like to see some backbone, with content, emerge from the Republican Party. It would serve America well.

Thank you

Unsubstantiated liberal condemnation of Republicans is gearing up.

The recent ad of elderly lady push over cliff because of Ryan's plan is lacking in fact. Fact, with most hospitals losing money on medicare patients, obamacare is going to cut $$$ 15 trillion from payments to Doctors and hospitals. That alone is enough to push old people off the cliff. And there is more...
