• In 'It Takes A Family,' Santorum's views are an open book

  • First, like many others in this discussion, I know of heterosexual families in which there is abuse. My grandfather was a mean drunk and beat my grandmother. She finally divorced him in the 1940s (can you say harlot or Jezebel) after he broke her nose and she'd had enough.

• Bank loans to small business fall to 12-year low

  Fri Dec 16, 2011
  • I haven't read all of the comments, but I'm guessing most people don't get it. There is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. Both sides are filled with wealthy people helping other wealthy people.

• Sen. McCaskill to return $88,000 for private flights

  Thu Mar 10, 2011
  • I agree that she should have been identified as a Democrat, but I think it's a rather meaningless distinction. As some of the other commentors have suggested, she is a essentially a corporatist like most of her colleagues.

• Sen. McCaskill to return $88,000 for private flights

  Thu Mar 10, 2011
  • I heard Sen. McCaskill in an interview talk about how people receiving money from the Government were going to have to sacrifice some of that money (she didn't mention defense spending: I wonder if they have an interest in a defense contractor?).

• Lawmakers' assignments, investments overlap

  Mon Jun 14, 2010
  • It's funny that nothing in the article references any Republican holdings.  So none of the Republicans have any holdings in any company over which they have oversight?  Doesn't seem likely.  By the way, I'm an independent and think that all of them are crooks.

• What do you think about taxing miles driven instead of the current gasoline tax system?

  Fri Feb 20, 2009
  • Just another way to push costs off on poorer people. Also very Orwellian.

• Where will the Dow Jones industrials end 2009?

  Wed Dec 24, 2008
  • Dow ends the year at about 4,000 S&P at 450. No good news and possibility of U.S. bond default.

• $14 billion auto bailout bill clears the House

  Wed Dec 10, 2008
  • First, it's not a bailout, it's a loan program.  The intent is to loan the companies money so they can survive while they reorganize and then get that money back later on, with interest.
