Pelosi is a devout Catholic? Really? Heath must have missed where she got in the p-ing match earlier this year with the Catholic Bishops over her - uh.. interpretation of the Bible and the Churches stance on abortion.

I'm also thinking that her stating that the Healthcare "Reform" legislation that she rammed through Saturday breaking all her promises to have it be posted for at least 72 hours before a vote was "fair" in that it punishes citizens with fines and/or jail time for not purchasing an "appropriate" level of insurance.

Gee Nancy, you must interpret the Constitution the same way you interpret that Bible.

This is why I don't like politics anymore. There was a time when party didn't matter as much, a person could talk nicely about their opponents, even be friends with them, like Reagan and O'Neal or Kennedy, but I guess those days are over. All either side wants to do now is tear the other apart however they can. Where's the third and fourth party when you need them?

hmm, why would a 'homemaker' from Whiteville feel compelled to donate $2300?

Maybe she's anti-choice like Mike.

Sickening that he would ACCEPT union contributions.

Until we put democrackkks AND republicannots OUT of business as criminal organizations, then WE the PEOPLE will continue to suffer the demopublican
oppression. Declare political parties ILLEGAL.

Do you mean she was wrong when she voted against the Katrina appropriation because there was no accountability in it and low and behold a year later there were reports of massive fraud? Do you mean she was wrong when she voted against the billion dollar plus plus plus stimulus bill earlier this year again because of lack of accountability and all the earmarks? Having the government that can not manage H1N1 vaccine distribution in charge of health care in the U.S. would be worse than a terrorist attack. We can go after terrorists and eliminate them (or read them their constitutional rights, provide them with an attorney, treat them better than they have ever been treated before, and probably acquit them because of their victimhood)but once the government has total control over our health care there is nothing that can be done about it.

You guys in the media may not like her and think she is an embarrassment, but a majority of the people in her district have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for her. I for one am honored to have her as my representative.

cmitchz — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:36:32 -0500

So, um, how is she wrong, again?

I mean, since the world depends on America for advancing the overall quality of health care, and since this bill would lead to the crippling of that (no pun intended there, I promise)...

...then could MSNBC's uptown Charlotte viewers please explain to us what terrorist attack would be worse than that in the long run?

I mean, aren't these the same liberals that swear that these terrorists really aren't all that big of a threat to us? At least, that's what I gather from them constantly leaking our tactics in their papers, and constantly railing against pouring water and siccing bugs onto terrorists in order to prevent them and their buddies from killing again...

But if you all suddenly want to become Team America: World Police when it positions you to go after Virginia Foxx, then that's fine by me. I just hope you're all still playing that role when it comes time to make the hard choices in fighting terrorists and saving lives.

More importantly....check the monies that were received by Price within a few days before he voted on a piece of legislation. Money pours in days before and after a vote....and this is common and legal practice among all politicians....BUT.....it shows you who Congress really work for....not us, not the companies supporting them....but for themselves with the main motive of getting re-elected. Really....it's all about holding on to that position as long as possible.

Paul, as I said, Price has $218,000 from folks like farmers, tractor manufacturers and military contractors? Your problem with that? Oh...

You changed the subject from your original question to what? How you've lived off the government for years and are mad Price is helping you do so?

You welfare queen bootstrap types that have no problem going to the VA but don't want the rest of us to have healthcare like you AMAZE us all.

I'm a moderate. And you are?

So giggle, no comment on the $10 million being spent at UNC-Chapell Hill to give six figure jobs to his friends. Everything seems personal to you. You cannot miss a chance for a personal slur. Keep it up so we can all see a true liberal progressive in action.

Could you post what PAC's are paying off Price?

Thankfully, that's already been compiled for you bootstrap types at fec.gov.

But I understand if you'd like Ben to call and read it to you.

I'll get you started though. I actually know how to look things up and read.

Wow, looks like the usual commies. CropScience PAC, John Deere PAC, and the Lockheed Martin Employees' PAC are prominent.

Why do you think farmers, tractor manufacturers and military contractors hate America so much Paul? Do they just not watch Glen Beck?

Re: Price has $218,000

PaulTerrell — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:37:21 -0400

Looks like Price cannot say he is not in the pockets of the special interest. Could you post what PAC's are paying off Price? You have sttaed that Burr gets money from Insurance company PACS and executives. So who is Price getting paid by?

And please do not forget that $10,000,000 program that is supposed to help GI's from our wars but does nothing but pay many people 6 figure salries, all finance by pork from PRICE!

being aveteran myself I find Price to be both despicable and low when it comes to his self promoting at the expense of both taxpayers and veterans.
