Sen. McCaskill has said Obamacare is so great for the American people that she wants to give it to them. If that is so, why has she exempted herself from it? You can't get a senator or a congressman who will tell you why they voted to exempt themselves from it. It's because it's a rotten deal, and it's not good for the American people...

Obamacare, Congress

Sen. McCaskill has said Obamacare is so great for the American people that she wants to give it to them. If that is so, why has she exempted herself from it? You can't get a senator or a congressman who will tell you why they voted to exempt themselves from it. It's because it's a rotten deal, and it's not good for the American people.

Obama, Syria

It is truly hilarious to see regressives here on the bash-Obama page try to rewrite recent history. The facts are obvious. President Obama used the threat of bombing to cause Putin to knuckle under and make his ally, Syria, come clean about their chemical weapons, which they have always denied they have. Any other tap-dancing around the facts is just regressive fantasy.

Reid's blocking

Does anyone besides me think it's odd that Harry Reid is forever blocking a vote on anything he doesn't agree with in the Senate? His answer is always that it won't pass. How does he know it won't pass? I think the real answer is he's afraid the Democrats are waking up to how the Obama Administration is running our country.

County issues

Cape County commissioners are just greedy. They started this past year saying they're going to charge those of us who display Christmas lights at Cape County Park. Then they charge for reserving shelters. We, as Cape County citizens and taxpayers, already pay taxes for the county park. Now the commissioners say they're going to raise our taxes.

Child hunger

Your child hunger editorial was nice, but the real focus should have been a full frontal attack on congressman Jason Smith's jaw-dropping vote to cut the SNAP (food stamps) program by billions of dollars, thus depriving thousands of his below-the-poverty-line constituents of adequate nutrition, many of them children. Volunteerism is wonderful, but because the problem is so massive in the 8th Congressional District, it can in no way remedy the serious problem made worse by Smith's vote.

Patriots

I hate it when people hide behind the name of patriot. For me, patriots are simply the people I learned about in history, which would be Patrick Henry and George Washington.

New president needed

I can't believe what a wimp that we have for president. I didn't agree with George Bush on a lot of things, but Barack Obama blows my mind. He is constantly flying around the country and talking about mean ol' Republicans and how everybody is against him. I can't believe he doesn't ever accept responsibility for things that have gone bad; it's always someone else's fault. I hope in 2016 we get someone who cares about our country and our debt and not about themselves.

Bad Rams

This is about the St. Louis Rams. If they can't do any better than score 11 points, they might as well not even show up.

Debt ceiling

Seeming Speak Out outrage was recently expressed over the president's claim that raising the debt ceiling doesn't raise the debt. The caller insisted it most certainly does. Who's correct? The president, of course. Raising the debt ceiling allows the government to pay for bills already owed. If it isn't done, the government would default, economic chaos would ensue, and our lives would be forever ruined.
