Down with auto insurance!!!!

wentwent: The Republicans better come up with a candidate soon. Televangelists Perry and Bachman aren't going to cut it with intelligent republican voters. Romney and Huntsman, as good as they are, are going to have a religious problem of another type. The rest of the field is toast. The only electable candidate dropped out.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

"Today, more than 300 special agents from OIG, in partnership with federal and state agencies across the country, are making more than a hundred arrests on charges of health care fraud," said Daniel R. Levinson, Health & Human Services Inspector General. "Over the last two years our joint efforts have more than quadrupled the number of anti-fraud Strike Force teams operating in fraud hot spots around the country from two to nine, with the latest additions Chicago and Dallas, bringing hundreds of charges against criminals who had billed Medicare for hundreds of millions of dollars. Last year alone, our partnership recovered a record $4 billion on behalf of taxpayers. From 2008-2010, every dollar the Federal Government spent under its Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control programs averaged a return on investment of $6.80," said HHS Secretary Sebelius.
The Medicare Fraud Strike Force operations are part of the Health Care Fraud Prevention & Enforcement Action Team (HEAT), a joint initiative announced in May 2009 between the Department of Justice and HHS.

You founding fathers experts give me a chuckle every time. Please keep interpreting what some very great thinkers thought 235 years ago with your spot on analysis.

I use to think Dems were the party of the spineless but Boehner's inability to stand up to the Tea Party debt ceiling terrorists takes the cake.

Michael Casler; Fox News unabashadly blames the nation's economic woes exclusively on President Obama. To continue to allow Fox to divide the country with their bias towards all Democrats, and to aid the Republican Party by acting as their exclusive propaganda arm is not in the country's best interests.
I appreciate and agree with your comments and my letter was not solely intended to place blame, but to bring perspective to the causes of our situation and to point out that the President is doing well given the extreme conditions he faced when he came into office, and given the divisive state of the political climate created by the lack of intelligence of Fox "contributors."

NLV-indep13:"And some, like Ventura, obviously take an extremely leftist and elitist view; personally I kind of like the working class and elderly -- they tend to be a rather honest & decent sort."
I tend to like the working class also since I'm one of them. We obviously have a different view of who, and why, the Republican Party is directing their rhetoric towards the lower end of the spectrum. If the "Birthers", and the people trying to scare the elderly with talk of euthanasia and the fear of losing their health insurance to socialism, are who you feel make up the Republican base, then yes, you can call me lefty.
If you think a fair debate among intelligent individuals is warranted over this most important issue relative to America's solvency, then you can call me an elitist. I don't give a rat's butt. Just cut the BS and upgrade the arguments.
FTR I have long been a registered Independent and wouldn't have any part of either of our two prominent political parties. However I do recognize the importance of the system and I don't like seeing the Republicans making fools of themselves, groveling for votes at the bottom of the barrel, or as you have so generously elevated them to, "the working class."

Edwards deserves all he gets because he was not up front with his wife who was in a bad situation to begin with. They both deserve a bit of a pass due to the hardship of losing a child which is usually devastating to a marriage.

Tells you all you need to know about FAUX News!

You go Teaser! Hit the nail squarely on the head!

Arguing about whether Democrats or Republicans have the lead in sex scandals is juvenile, but funny, so please, keep it up.
IMO Ensign's situation, due to his setting himself up as a "Promise Keeper" is the only case that merits further scrutiny due to the degree of hypocrisy he exhibited. Troubling!
The rest of them have low sexual morals and some problems with honesty. Judge them on that.
FYI since 1970 the Dems hold a 2 sex scandal edge over the Republicans. Go G.O.P.!
