Where does the GOP stand on Drilling in the Ocean? Drill baby Drill!

Thank goodness for the Senate Dems and 5 Republicans that blocked a bill to speed up drilling in the oceans.Our gas price rising is due to market manipulation,not because of lack of oil.GOP wants to speed up drilling in the oceans. Our oceans are a very important part of the circle of life and we need to be responsible.

Torture?Medevil Times should of taught us enough about the lessons of "Torture". My spiritual beliefs stand against this idea, and hopefully so do yours!

Is Governor Scott Walker's budget crisis a fabrication?

Wisconsin is Republican broke, but it's not broke," said Mordecai Lee, a UW-Milwaukee political science professor and former Democratic state lawmaker. "Broke suggests near bankruptcy."

Using the word "broke" helps Walker frame the debate around his controversial budget plans on his terms, Lee said, suggesting spending cuts are the only option and any tax increases are out of the question."

I think we better think it out again!

Where do planned parenthoods funds go?

Jon Kyl is sorry If He Gave Anyone The Impression That The Things He Says In Public Are Factual, for making false remarks on the congress floor about Planned Parent hood stating that 90 percent of what they do was abortions. I am for all life but here is the truth. Planned parenthood facts; 90% of what they do is preventative care. They provide 1,000,000 cervical cancer scans, 830,000 breast exams, birth control for 2,500,000, 4,000,000 tests for STDs and 3% of their clients have abortions, none of which are paid for with federal money because that is illegal. Quit lying to the American public Republican leaders, cause I will call you out on it! This shut down is not About Abortions! That word is just a reactive word put out there for some Republican voters, cause it seems to always work. Compassion in all things! Is anyone listening. A copy of Planned Parent hoods financial statements This shows how much money goes to them from the government and private. Private is huge, and again no gov. funds go to fund Abortions...

Shock poll: 46% of Mississippi Republicans think interracial marriage should be illegal

This is a Stop the insanity post. It is hard for me to believe that people still think like this. It seems so medieval. I can not grasp this kind of thinking. "No one is a Primary Color." And mixing colors always makes a painting beautiful. To read "Shock poll: 46% of Mississippi Republicans think interracial marriage should be illegal " was very upsetting. It is personal for me! Yet another reason why I am a Democrat!

Who pays the most taxes?

This question is complicated and you can find many links that say different things. It's hard to know exactly what is correct. Here is one analysis that appears to be non partisan and tries to give a rather easy understanding of how all the Taxes tend to work. In it's analysis it showed the top 10 states that are considered regressive. "The study’s main finding is that nearly every state and local tax system takes a much
greater share of income from middle- and low-income families than from the wealthy. That
is, when all state and local income, sales, excise and property taxes are added up, most state
tax systems are regressive.Fairness is, of course, in the eye of the beholder. Yet almost anyone would agree that the
best-off families should pay at a tax rate at least equal to what low- and middle-income
families pay. Virtually every state fails this basic test of tax fairness: as this study documents,
only two states require their best-off citizens to pay as much of their incomes in taxes as their
very poorest taxpayers must pay, and only one state taxes its wealthiest individuals at a higher
effective rate than middle-income families have to pay." "Texas Taxes on Bottom 20 Percent of Income Earners Fifth Highest in the Nation"
