Will somebody please take away freebie lifetime government healthcare for politicians so they will make a national healthcare system like Canada has for us, too?

Will somebody please take away the military's separate healthcare system and put it into our new National Healthcare System? How come military people cannot go to the same hospitals as we do?

I stopped watching once she mentioned teaching afgahnies how to think. Who does she think she is? You don't get to tell anyone how to think!

'Nam wasn't a terrorist attack, it was a war. Read what I said again partner.

And one of my friends fought in 'Nam, this isn't news to me.

We lost more lives in one day in the Civil War than in 'Nam. What does it matter? It's history.

But we can prevent the loss of more lives by getting out of the Middle East, it has been and will be a helplessly torn, religious, war-zone forever.

@gamingdolan360 what are you talking about. the united states has suffered just a few thousand casualties in the middle east. We would loose that amount in a day in 'Nam.

We cannot afford to throw away the gains our troops have gained? Are you kidding me?!

We have lost TWICE the number of lives in the Middle East, and TWELVE times the amount wounded in 10 years, than we have in the previous 100 due to Terrorist attacks!

It's our presence that keeps those numbers climbing, look it up. Osama wanted us their so he could kill us easier.

Bring our troops and economy home now!

Our troops lives are not RESOURCES for the Afgan people any more!

Die for your own country!

@bodybuilder444444 Rather than see the good that has benefited this country from a a system where the rich pay for their privileges, , you defend the leadership that tells you taxes keep you from working. The rich are stealing from YOU and you defend them like a battered wife with nowhere else to go. All of our taxes creates an infrastructure that creates an employed citizenry. This asinine myth that u hold to becomes evident when u realize no jobs came from Bush's Tax breaks to the rich!

[DabbsBiotch]

The government is the reason the economy is the way it is. how about we create more jobs and local SMALL business to help the people out instead of these bastards fill in their pockets with tax payers money!! If they can't help us anymore than this we shouldn't pay for taxes on every fucking thing. It's bullshit

[bullinaring]

Looking at your ratings, nobody gives a fuck about you, cunt.

Politicians are destroying this country. They talk to Americans as if they are children. Politicians work for the rich and do not give a damn about the average working class American.
