http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03/20...age-bills-vote/Our government has gotten so fuked up.
They are now trying to find ways to vote without being accountable for voting.
I'm not sure what world they live in,but it's like the public is watching monkeys in a zoo trying to figure out how to shit in their hands and throw it at us without being seen.
Our government has truly lost touch with reality.

I couldn't agree with you more, If there's one thing I fear in this day and age the government is on top on my list.
There's a lot of people who disagree with fox news and that's fine, But the ratings have skyrocketed.

It's everything about government.
Ear marks.
The last minute write ins they make to a bill before voting.
Deem and Pass.
It's all designed to make politicians less visible.
What's even scarier is that they believe we are too stupid to see it.
Like i said.....Monkeys in a zoo.

I dont want to get in a shit debate...but CNBC is full of shit too with its off the wall Republican reporting, They spend 20 mins on reports about how Republicans did this or that and Obama is battleing with with house Republicans and so on..Fox is a way better NEWS program then any NBC owned show.

Did anyone catch the interview with Bret and Obama, That's the way an interview should be done. The rest of the media would sit there and blow him.

almost all news sources are biased one way or the other.
i don't rely on one news source.
you have to listen to multiple news sources and weed out the BS.
when you watch CSPAN and see the shit happen with your own eyes...well how much news do you need.

I think I just pissed my pants. Yeah the ratings really show it. When it comes to the media the ratings mean everything, Well all can agree that all news stations are bias which is why we should look at the ratings to see who is viewed the most. People are going to watch who they want to hear.

this country has been doomed since the 70's, all any of us can do is sit back and enjoy the ride, and hopefully everything goes to hell after were dead....
on a side note, i got this in an email and thought it was kinda funny....
"so let me get this straight......we just passed a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it, to be signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke.
What the hell could possibly go wrong????"

I'm sure the pres has good intentions in mind but everyone knows,and history shows that every time government sticks its hand in something,we end up getting screwed.
Social security started out as a good idea,but now so many people take from it that don't deserve it because of government.
We could put our money into an IRA and double the retirement we get from social security.
The same will happen with health care.
We will end up getting less for more.

Yeah, BBC reports the news as it is. Since they have no relation to either political slant in this country, their news tends to come out much more neutral.
Not to mention that the BBC is just damn good TV:
Dr. Who
Torchwood
Top Gear
The British Versions of Kitchen Nightmares
Gordon Ramsey's F-Word

Top Gear FTW!!!...A long time ago i had an idea that the U.S could fund health care programs with a fly over tax...any airline(NON-u.s) that flys over the U.S has to pay a tax...seems easy..simple....and we as americans dont rob peter to pay paul, The point is if i could think up something like this as a kid why cant our elected men and woman in Washington think up something as simple without screwing the pooch ?............LOL
