Is there anything we can do to get Mr. Frank out of there?

Nice job Senator DeMint especially considering that you were in a more or less hostile environment.

What religious freedoms is DeMint against? He believes that an unborn baby is a person, so therefore abortion is equivalent to murdering a baby. Personally I don't think marriage should be governed by the state or federal government at all.

I Have better ideas, get rid of NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, IMF, The World Bank, GATT, NAU all the way to the united nations, time to get the government out of the way

and one more thing

ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE and get the united nations out of america.

so we can restore the republic.

Why doesn't anyone call out Barney Frank and his incompetence and his involvement blocking regulation for Fannie and Freddie. He and his democrat buddies caused all of this shit

US debt will be payed back by taxpayers. Any competent investor, American or foreign, considering putting money into the US economy, knows that, and they won't volunteer to paying off this debt. They'll simply take their money and invest some place else.

This bill is 800 Bn reasons not to invest into the US economy. This bill is the equivalent of trillions in investment, just refused, sent to Asia and Europe instead by President Obama. I'll probably just follow it, and get a job there myself.

"Where did I ask you to submit to my views" you ask... It's very clear, your opposition to abortion which you and others want to impose on the rest of the country through the power of the gov and law, are clearly based on your religious beliefs...

since abortion is voluntary, why should others who have different religious/moral values be forced to conform to your more narrow, fundamentalist views of religion?it's as if your scared to let Americans control their own lives.

I don't remember demanding anything. Where did I ask you to submit to my views? At conception embryonic cells begin dividing and multiplying rapidly (on their own) based on the genetic code in the fetus. How is that not "life" from a scientific viewpoint? My religious beliefs dictate only that the unborn baby has "value". Life is proven by the science.

DeMint is a right-wing theocrat...and is part of a movement which is not only content to live their lives according to their religious/moral beliefs, but want to limit others Constitution rights and religious freedom by restricting our ability to live our lives w/out outside control by people who act like the Saudi Vice and Virture police, on a whole host of issues such as abortion and gay marriage.

[shen96]

early in life, before the baby can survive outside the womb...an unborn baby has never been considered a person in a legal sense. But, I, you and that theocrat DeMint know your abortion views r based religious beliefs, that life begins at conception, it is not a scientific position. Your acting like the Taliban by demand that everyone, even those who have different views on abortion from yours, based on their religious/moral beliefs, must submit to your views.
