Transparency like when you jack*sses didn't have the addition 300 pages. you all added at 3AM to the crap in trade bill, for review before that mornings vote?

Like the Health care bills, both written by LOBBYISTS.

If their in office, vote them out in 2010. Maybe both parties will get the point. REPRESENT THE PEOPLE, instead of special interests.

I am so looking forward to casting a ballot against Sen Reid.

even more modern? From Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and idol of progressives everywhere:

We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We dont want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.

A little more modern for you...

October 13, 1858

During Lincoln-Douglas debates, U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas (D-IL) states: I do not regard the Negro as my equal, and positively deny that he is my brother, or any kin to me whatever; Douglas became Democratic Partys 1860 presidential nominee

[Sarastro42]

I'm willing to admit that it's an important issue. Sadly I'm a defense and foreign policy nut so domestic concerns are of a tertiary importance to me.

[cat00012000]

That's what conservatives said about slavery and every other inequality since the beginning of time. There are always a few people that the past works better for. They want to go backward not forward. The rich have one goal - to keep things the way they are. Who wants to give up their place in line when they're first. Hey, I'd probably be the same way. That wouldn't mean that I was right.

[Evangelander]

Obama's, Bernanke's, Reid's and many other political figures definition of transparency seems to be quite different from mine.

Mine is more like that of Ron Paul, which is rarely considered.

This man is a complete enemabag.
