You inadvertently made the Democratic argument with the telling of your railroad story today. In that; Government waste and inefficiency created or saved thousands railroad jobs in the late 19th century. Today we call it stimulus.

Congrats on insisting on remaining on the losing side of history. You're an ignorant bigot, and you're making America look like it's a country full of unintelligent backwoods idiots. Kindly wake up, realize it's 2010, or shut the fuck up already.

"Imposition of somebody's social agenda" ??

It's called Equality, you fuckwit. Are you aware of the other countries that allow LGBT people to serve openly? Are you aware of the ones that don't? Are you aware of what a JOKE America is to the rest of the world due to its dragging its heels over LGBT Equality?

"Biased Survey?" Why is it "biased"? Because it doesn't reflect your bigoted views? YOu're a fucking disgrace, and an in insult to the American Dream.

Dear sir, have you read a book called National Sunday Law?

Go back to kindergarten and learn all about US History and Thanksgiving. Please. You can't change history by being ignorant. Do you really think we are that stupid?

I would like to hear about your stand on LGBT issues and know where your support lies on that subject.

fight to sve our Space Exploration, we cannot allow our President to cancel our space program to fund Muslin countries a space program, that is wrong. To many people will be out of jobs and in the unemployment line, we can't afford that either.

Very much enjoyed the presentation Rep. Akin made on C-Span this evening about the first Thanksgiving. Thank you for bringing light to the historical Thanksgiving and the beliefs of those first pilgrims. Super interesiting.

I just saw a clip of Rep. Akin saying on the floor of the House that if he lived inCanada he would be denied a hip replacement because of his age.

As a proud patriotic Canadian I would like to respectfully ask Rep. Akin, and his political allies, to please do his homework before spreading such despicable falsehoods about my country. In Canada if your doctor says you need a hip replacement (or any other medically proven treatment) you get it. Period. No government bureaucrat is involved (and no private insurance pencil pusher either) just patient and doctor.

I wouldn't presume to tell Americans what kind of health care system they should adopt or how to debate the subject, but please don't slander my country in the process.

Thank you.

From Kingsport Tennesee, the obscene drug abuse of prescription medicines hence obvious fraud of the system is also making us go broke and also those with needs of those medications can't get them, I used to work with people who were on gov't medical support programs and he made tons of money. people who need help and get dependent are lost in the crowd of the abusers which is different from chemical dependence which lead to abuse. also o was fired for using legally prescribed medications and laid off and my employer had canceled our group insurance policy and I was left out in the dark but there are rare places to seek help but waiting in a line is not health care. being under medicated because of age is plain discrimination. it happens all the time. the elderly sell their medications and drug running from Florida is also a big problem.

So I came home today, having gotten a message on my machine indicating that there was an over the phone town hall meeting that I missed....and at the end of the message, a mention that Todd has Youtube and facebook. So naturally I thought YOUTUBE?! and sure enough, here it is. Keep up the good work Representative Akin!
