If you want to play then you have to be willing to pay. You can't engage is political or personal insults and then when you get it shoved back in your face cry victim. It doesn't work that way.

Affirmative action was found legal by the court of last resort and it helped a lot. The very fact that you don't see the damage and hold back slavery, segregation & voter suppression inflicted on a huge number of Americans says a lot more about you than anything else.
This is not 1960 this is 2009. Republicants oppose women's rights, gay rights, would like to force religious doctrine into our schools and a a slew of other things I find terribly objectionable.
Don't need to. They are words. Words can be interpreted. There's no specific statement saying these things can't be done either.
I care greatly for the poor and low income worker. But that doesn't change the fact that one mans personal rights end at the tip of another man's nose.
Were that true we could lower the income tax to 1% and still have all our government programs and all be even richer. But that's stupid thinking.
We've had high deficits before. In fact it was Reagan and Cheney that both said deficits don't matter. Of course they do long term. We will get through this Bush crisis and then we should follow the Clinton example and really attack the deficit.
We are going to act responsibly with the lives of our troops in our redeployment. Had a Democrat been President at the start we would not be in this position and $12 Billion Dollars per month for 8 years poorer.
You are simply Obstructionist and the small Party of NO. You ran us into this ditch. Now we'll call our own tow truck.
The Nazis forcefully took over companies for Nazi gain. American companies about to fail and liquidate and hence decimate our economy came begging our government for help. That's not at all the same thing and you know it.
Another one right off the top of my head... worker safety.
The reason we can sucsessfully treat & filter and clean our water is because there are restrictions on what can and cannot be dumped into it.
The federal government has the responsibility to try and protect this country from all different kinds of major hardships, chaos and collapse. By your do nothing standard the people of New Orleans would still be in the Super Dome or on roof tops.
The government didn't go to the companies the companies came begging the government. If that's a grab for control I certainly don't see it.
Well maybe they're right on many issues.
It the persons choice to smoke or not. I'd bet most smokers would rather be taxed than have the product banned. I'd be fine with a ban myself.
The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT PARTY. That doesn't mean we don't have principles. It simply means we aren't nearly as narrow minded on many issues.
In the future if you shorten your posts to just 4 or 5 questions at a time I can be more thorough in my responses.
