    I have a terrific idea!! Steyn should send $100 (! ) to George and put Obama to shame. That would put Steyn's money where his mouth is and be a good example for us all.

    No, no switcherooski here. Steyn's integrity isn't the one in question here, Obama's is. Is he taking care of his brother or not?

    Does his half-brother want any money from Obama?

    Hello again,

    Wow. When things start to go south, they REALLY go south. Poor Republicans..

    The recent overreach by the Komen foundation, while surely intended to QUIETLY strike another blow on the side of antiabortion activism, succeeded instead in waking a powerful constituency. The response it generated was UNIFIED and THUNDEROUS.

    Recent attacks on collective bargaining by Republican governors have produced mass mobilization in those states, the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. Public service workers - cops, firefighters, nurses, teachers, paramedics, sanitation workers – once were the proud backbone of the middle class. Now they find themselves derided by the GOP as the new welfare queens who are taking more than their fair share.

    The Trump endorsement was just icing on the cake. All I got to say is, the worm has turned... I'm looking at a landslide!

    Is it important to know that he is? Will that cause you to like/respect him more? Or will you say, "Is that ALL he's sending him?"

    Trump should have endorsed Newt. Trump and Callista could have shared hair care secrets.

    Why yes, seeing him lead by example in this would help me respect him more.

    Well there's your all-encompassing problem. Your fanaticism clouds your judgement.

    So if he gives him xx amount, it won't be enough, and why is he bragging AGAIN? If he doesn't give him anything, shame, shame, shame.

    Let's say you can't afford health insurance. What would you do if you got sick?

    WG there are already safetynet provisions for those who can't afford health care. That is just a canard to force the whole country into a universal government command and control system.

    Ex the recall in Wisconsin will fail and fail badly . That's because Governor Walker's reforms have already saved the state. Last year's $3 billion deficit is now a $300 million surplus.It was accomplished without the new taxes that unions favored.Seems the only solution libs have is to tax tax tax .
    Rank and file will eventually get around to asking why union bosses are wasting their hard earned money that they've handed over the union in the form of dues. The next recall will be ousting the union bosses.

    What overreach? Komen took the initiative to follow their own rules, in response donations to both groups were up 100 percent... and then they caved. The fallout will be measured for some time. I can promise you a lot of people - regardless of political bent are going to drop support for Komen. I will never support PP and I'm far from alone.

    Hello again, Steve:

    It was in response to a right wing congressmen SAYING they used federal funds for abortion... PP SAID they didn't, and provided supporting documents... They've done this COUNTLESS times, because this ISN'T the first attack..

    ANY dufus could see the partisan investigation for what it was... To STOP funding PP because of this PHONEY investigation looks to be political...

    Besides, they just changed the rules in order TO exclude PP.

    Plus, if you want to look at the backlash as just more liberal noise, you absolutely may.. But, the left is making itself FELT for the first time in a long time, and I'd be worried if I was a right winger.

    The safety net Tom speaks of is the business practice of passing on costs to other tax payers, or raising the rates of insurance premiums, or billing the government (US) through grants for county hospitals that work with the poor or uninsured. What a con job the right pushes, as any mandate to have insurance ONLY will affect those 50 million that don't have it, nor wish to get it.

    Of course you can put the heat on the prez, without lifting a finger or doing anything by which to be judged, or compared to. That's why we get all this rhetoric from the right about how bad everything else is because they have no solutions, just loyalty to a system that screws them too.
