It;'s ok to be against gay marriage if your name is Obama? ***************** I can care less if you are against gay marriage on a personal level. It's when you try to pass laws that force your religious morals on everyone else that I have issues. ****************** > When was the last time dems voted against unemployment benefits or tax > breaks for small businesses? You mean like two weeks ago when they refused to allow a vote on extending tax breaks? Semantics. ************** How is that Semantics? If that was Dems doing it, you would be scraming and hollering up a storm about how anti-business Dems are, but when Repubs do it...you are ok with it... ************** > When was the last time Republicans did that? Was that why they voted against unemployment extensions? Nothing to do with the billions in pork for banks to loan to companies at inflated rates? Did they ever lend out that money? ****************** Considering that the problem is that small businesses aren't getting money...yeah. That was part of it and part of the solution. The TARP was focused on big banks, who were supposed to get money to the smaller banks. That did not happen, so this was pointed directly at small banks. Real anti-business solution ya know... *********************** > I can think of several occasions just recently when republicans were very > vocal about voting against bills that would help the lower and middle class > and small businesses and were very vocal about measures that help their rich > buddies.

The original and I believe the parent company is conservative but this division as as far left as you can get. ********************* If the parent is conservative, then so would the child since the parent controls the child. Maybe they just though he was the best man for the job. ******************** > St. Petersburg times is hardly Left wing...they have received Pulitzers > prizes for their work.

I thought the Republicans were locked out while Reid and his donors wrote the bill.
