Comment on Sarah Palin Resigns as Governor of Alaska – For 2012 Presidential Run? by anonymous

There are multiple allegations concerning Campbell’s leadership in the Guard. No one is motivated to investigate these multiple allegations concerning conduct of Campbell’s and Kacus’s cronies doing despicable acts and then getting promoted. Acts such as officers sleeping with enlisted men’s wives, officers with records of DUI’s, falsifying records, etc. All were promoted ahead of decent officers because of cronyism. Alaska Guard has the reputation for being one of the most corrupt. Now Campbell becomes Lt. Gov. and confirms the fact that it takes a corrupt person to rise to power. Campbell was bought and sold and will “kiss any rear” to get ahead.

Comment on Remembering Senator Edward (Ted) M. Kennedy, 1932-2009 by edwin forprogress.org

So much of Senator Edward Kennedy’s “The Dream Shall Never Die” speech is relevant now. It makes me sad that so many Americans do not know how much it was really he that advanced the dreams of his brothers into reality. So many of us who want now to pick up the “fallen standard” need the example his life offers of HOW liberal ideals can be transformed into something real that betters the lives of our neighbors.

I put together some of the audio of the speech, accompanied it with images and ideas that highlight some of his accomplishments, and put it into a video. The following page also has information on the 6 (of 13 or a minority) Democratic senators in the Senate Finance Committee who have yet to pledge their support for the public option in the Kennedy Health Care bill.

Not going to happen in Alaska Betty. Campbell was bought and sold by Sarah Palin even though he lacks integrity. If you read Andrew Halcro’s comments from Guardsmen, you can tell they will be happy to see him go and he can take Kacass with him.

You might get a kick out of my fictional rendering of the freaky events at Woodstock on August 18, 1969.

Comment on August 18, 2009: President Obama’s Stock Plummeting? Health Care Reform Public Option Dropped? by James

if you spent $30 MILLION a day every single day for 2000 years it would still not equal to obama’s $23.7 TRILLLION in financial bailouts

… the main reasons why people get poorer are because of higher taxes and inflation.

Pelosi healthcare public option is a dangerous direction for our country to go in.

It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people (honestly where can they go with a pre-condition). And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait, Medicare and Medicaid and our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown and Katrina but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.

How does shouting down to stop the conversation of the healthcare debate at town hall meetings, endears them to anyone. Especially when the organizations that are telling them where to go and what to do and say are Republicans political operatives, not real grassroots. How does shouting someone down or chasing them out like a “lynch mob” advanced the debate, it does not. So I think the American people will see through all of this and know, like the teabagger, the birthers, these lynch mobs types AKA “screamers” are just the same, people who have to resort to these tactics because they have no leadership to articulate what they real want. It’s easy to pickup a bus load of people who hate, and that’s all I been seeing, they hate and can’t debate. Too bad.

Obamascare will cost this nation jobs. In my industry, medical sales, we have already lost 20,000 medical device sales jobs in anticipation of reform. Join our discussion at http://www.gorillamedicalsales.com
