I disagree with their trickle down eocnomic theory but they have the right to their beliefs just like I do. I’m not sure why some on the other side call me unpatriotic or unamerican for being a Democrat. that’s a pretty stupid argument ---------------------------------------------------------------- Even though I disagree with your "name", I have to applaud you. You are the smartest Liberal Democrat I have ever met. Unfortunately for the party, nobody even came close to you. Welcome to my world! I feel just like you. I am an Independent who did not vote Obama, and I do not support Pelosi's Stimulus Package as it stands. He needs to EARN my support and so far, he is not doing a good job. I do appreciate the fact that you feel BOTH sides can bring something to the table. The "original" package had nothing in it for "regular" people. It wasn't until the Repubs would not back it in the house, that they "added" some tidbits in it for "them". Even Reid admitted it on T.V. But, thanks to those Repubs and EVEN SOME DEMS, they want more for us. So, even though some of you bash repubs, you should at least give credit where it is due. Thanks to their standoff, us regular people may end up with something in this package. Oh, and I RESENT being told by Obama when he was running to "tighten our belts" and "turn our thermostats down" when he can litteraly bask in the heat in the Oval Office, that WE are paying for. Like I said, he needs to EARN respect and support. By the looks of the polls and blogs I have been on, he is losing support of the very people who put him in office!

Whether its your mortgage or taxes, the integrity and ethics issues are the same. He paid his late just like Daschle did but so what? We all can get into financial bids, but come on--when your salaries are that high--and you can't manage, but you expect those with $20-50,000 incomes to paid their bills, save for tomorrow, take care of their parents/kids, pay off their college loans, pay for their kids to go to college, buy cars, maintain health insurance, etc, then fault them for being poor money managers when they can't; and yet, those two, who made hundreds of thousands of dollars can't do it either and we're suppose to say that's OK? Well it's not. You don't lead by asking others to do what you won't or can't do yourself. There are better people for health and better people for the Republicans.

Does anyone remember the Republicans sending in Alan Keyes to run against Barack Obama for the Senate seat? Well, here we go again. I guess you ride the wave while it's high. Although, Steele is a little more credible than Keyes. He's certainly much more handsome. But, I don't like his politics. I have one question.

I'm not sure why some on the other side call me unpatriotic or unamerican for being a Democrat. that's a pretty stupid argument. While Nero fiddles....Rome is burning. We need to turn this economy around. All the name calling and negativity is not going to help anyone. If the Republicans have what they consider good ideas, let them put them forth to our President. If President Obama thinks his ideas are better I hope he pushes them through. Who evers ideas are chosen we all need to stand behind them and cross our fingers and hope they work because we all rise and fall as one. There are people litterally falling through the cracks as we speak. They need help and we need to help our country help all of it's citizens. Let's try our very best to work this out but we must remember, Obama won and he will have the last word. That's why we gave him a mandate with over 53% of the vote last November.

I think you had better think about that long and hard.

He has open the door, so lets take a long and hard look. On another suject, it will be interesting to see how much money he will be able to raise for the Racist Republican Party, remember these people have refused to give their business funders, economic bailouts....by the way David Duke was correct, Steele is racist too, all he need now is to be fitted in a white robe with hood and he will be good to go.
