Your life has been subsidized from birth by our Great Nation. The very stability and security we live under is not free. Its been paid for by more than just our soldiers blood, but also by both Liberal and Conservative, And by generations of hard working, tax -paying, Democrats and Republicans before you.

You people are so paranoid that someone is getting a free lunch!

You, not wanting to contribute, are the real 'free lunchers'!

More and more It seems like participating in this modern world is like tipping a rapist.

It's funny how easy corruption spreads. And in a way it can sometimes seemed necessary. I'd be horrified to be a government official, it seems like just taking an axe to your morals.

@DorEnErnil, NO not 8 years. If you rememberd the DotCom bubble popping like pimple on a teen-ager plus the added 9-11 augmentation of the recession, Bush's tax cut brought us out of it. the economy did well, up until 2007 when the House & Senate fell to the democrats. Don't believe the smoke and mirrors of the democrats.

In addition, Al Franken likes gerbils inside of his person.

I want free medical. I pay over $300 a month , thats approx. $3600 a year for my families medical coverage. I'd love to pay a flat rate like half that and get free medical.

What does Franken know about healthcare? He didn't read the bill! What a hypocrite!

I would wager he knows even less about being a senator, especially considering that he wouldn't let John Thune speak.

@DorEnErnil Well the Democrats had control of both houses starting in 2006. Just remember the President can not spend any money without getting it approved by the Senate and the House of Reps. Every budget that was submitted by Bush was increased by the Democrat controlled congress. There is plenty of blame to go around for the state of our economy. Until we get all of the spending hungry idiots out of Washington we will never get out of this hole.

@DorEnErnil You mean 6 years don't you? Who took control of congress in 2007 and who has had control of congress since then?

[kkurtz623]

Thune was correct. Franken is a corrupt tool of the Obama regime.

ok if the conservative 'fools' spent 8 yrs bankrupting the nation...what would you call what the liberals have done in only one year? (answer: tripled the national debt) How's that HOPE AND CHANGE working for you now? All I can HOPE for is CHANGE in November and beyond. Has anyone else noticed that liberals can't have an intelligent debate they ALWAYS resort to calling names (as above 'fools')and/or acting like school yard bullies (that's to cover up the fact that they have NO facts
