"Michael, there is some truth to what you are saying. My solution...smaller government, MUCH smaller government. That way we don't have to worry as much when they are lying. Night everyone."

"KayKay Moore, you go girl! True conservatism IS something to be proud of. And I do believe God will continue to bless America."

"LKMcGuire, you and I are on the same page. Maybe Michael will come around, he sounds pretty smart."

"Michael, it is not about what Obama says regarding tax cuts or anything else. It is that you can't believe what he says. I know you are going to respond by saying that 'Bush lied' or something to that effect, but that does not excuse…"

"Michael, there will always be self serving people, but in the free market you can elect not to participate with a Corporation. With government you have no choice. And as far as the bank bailout and Medicare under Bush, both of those were bad…"

"right on american aggie... keep plugging ... enlight them one at a time"

"Kay Kay Moore, your short comment below sums it up well."

"Michael, your conversation to this point has been intelligent, but you are starting to sound angry and partisan. No need to."

"Lindsey, bipartisan support doesn't mean it is a good bill. Again, WE must stop looking to government and put more power(and money) back in the people's hands. Can you imagine what a few small business owners could do if they had lower…"

"btw Michael Allen, I agree that 'pork' is most definitely a huge problem, but my assessment of this bill is right on. We must stop turning to Washington to 'fix' our problems. More government control and power through taxes will…"

"Lindsey, small business will not benefit from the meager(almost meaningless) tax breaks in this bill. I know, because I have been a small business owner myself, and know many others. This is really nothing but window dressing, and it continues to…"

"The problem Lorenzo is that more people will be hurt by this than helped. You may(or may not) get employed, but we all definitely will be negatively affected by this kind of government spending."

"You can't point out all the wrong things with this bill and then vote for it because "it contains measures that will help". That means we get the bad with the good. How about correct the wrong things first, keep the good measures, and…"
