Seeing how most conservatives don't want the government intruding on
private business, I wonder how THIS will spin? The FTC is going to force companies to stop making robo-call sales calls...... Damned liberals. Now they want people to be able to enjoy their after work evenings...... http://www.comcast.net/articles/fina...marketing.Ban/ |

There is a big difference in taking over a company because they disagree with the type of cars they make; forcing financial institution to make unsound loans to deadbeats for houses they cannot afford and then not do anything about those loans when the financial institution chocks on them; force every body in to government insurance programs that per the authors own publications will distribute health care based on the age and condition of the individual. (Even obama said on TV he did not think a 100 year old woman should have received a pacemaker five years ago) AND upholding the constitution and prevent companies from intruding on the private lives of voters. However since this activity is not specified as a Federal government activity per the Constitution, it is the states prerogative to deal or not deal with this issue. I agree with you that the Federal FTC should but out. |

I agree with you that the Federal FTC should but out. Yeah, I feel the same way but our dem frinds here have already decided that we don't, simply because that would not suit there rhetoric. I mean, how dare we sit outside their mold!! Of course reaching across the isle or compromise is something our present democrat congress and many liberal Americans don't understand, or don't want to out of pure elitism... But what the hey, we all know it's Bush's fault that Obama is a liar surrounded by tax cheats and other crims... convicted or otherwise... -- Wafa free since 2009 |

You're dealing with one of the many right-wing retardos here, in case you didn't realize it. Their "level" is set by intellectuals like JustWait, who is dumber than the proverbial post and thinks he has to prove it every day; herring, who changes his ID here more often than his socks; flajim, aka yellowstains; lu powell, whose nickname "lu-ser" is spot-on, and a few others.

FYI, Scooter didn't spend a day in jail. Convicted and walking around to this day. What he did was treason in my and others' opinion. Cheney was probably at the center of it.

Tell me again why Scooter Libby went to jail again for forgetting one date, years earlier? Double standard... In the scheme of things, I'm impressed with Obama's work and follow-through. FYI, Scooter didn't spend a day in jail. Convicted and walking around to this day. What he did was treason in my and others' opinion. Cheney was probably at the center of it. Even Bush couldn't stomach actually pardoning Scooter, for which I give his $0.01 credit. Go back and check the facts of that whole episode and you will find that no crime was committed. Libby was caught in a purgery trap due to his own arrogance and hubris. |
