    Just saw this and it really makes you think......

    Using the "second" as something everyone knows.....

    And then using the Second as Dollars.... what is a MILLION?? a Billion??

    or a TRILLION??

    Seconds- 1 million seconds is as much as 11 DAYS!!

    1 BILLION seconds is 32 YEARS !! Yep... 1 billion seconds is 32 YEARS!!!

    Now lets look at a TRILLION!! ( like the obama care.. the nat"l debt + + ) ONE (1) TRILLION seconds.. are 32000 YEARS!!!
    Question... how did the current administration spend 3200 years of seconds in just the first 18 months??

    NOVEMBER... Vote the suckers OUT!!

    Just me............................

    I can't wait for my knee to get operated on and not be denied because it's a preexisting condition that occurred in the 1 month I went without health insurance after college. :)

    How much did the previous administration spend in Iraq? We can do this in seconds, or in soldier's lives, or in dollars....

    What do you propose to replace the current crop with?

    The career politicos need to go, they are to entrenched in the machine to change how they "govern" but where are we as a nation going to find the replacements.

    At least one side still attempts to use the Constitution and the principles developed by the Founding Fathers

    Let's vote in some politicians that reflect what the public wants!

    We can find people who won't cut taxes, won't cut transportation spending, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, or farm subsidies, and will balance the budget. And they'll be strong leaders with spotless personal histories who never made mistakes, never changed their minds on issues, and never took money from lobbyists. Also, they'll be brilliant academic minds who can solve all our problems by talking to all the parties involved, coming up with a solution that stays true to their principles, and explaining it to us so we feel good about the outcome and nobody gets hurt. Oh yeah, and don't forget that we want them to be tough on national security and use all of our multi-million dollar weapons that blast the enemy to smithereens while sparing the lives of innocent civilians and friendly soldiers, but we don't want to pay a lot for it.

    Good luck with that. If you think the politicians are crazy, take a look at the voters.

    The one where one side was lied to and unfortunately didn't call BS on fabricated evidence.

    LOL... VOTE OUT the guys that have made it a career!! Experience is BS there.. look at some of the PORK that is coming out from BOTH SIDES!!

    As for the medical.. cool!! Hope you can hang till 1014 when it becomes active!! ( although we will be paying for it from NOW on!! ( there are a lot of better ways to fix that system.. for less than 32000 years of seconds!! ) Dontcha think??

    The WAR!! WTF!! Are you in the MILITARY?? Have you been?? Did you lose anyone in NY on 9-11 ?? I know, at least you can "Talk " all you want!! Criticize all you want!! Ride the subway all you want!! And I'll bet you didnt even get off your BUTT and VOTE!!
    Freedom isnt FREE!! And sit back and waiting for something to happen is just stupid!! The reason we have not FINISHED any of those conflicks.... is because for the People that make statements like that!! The freaking GI that is getting bullets in the chest and having his legs blown off ( sorry, there are also our Girls over there...) Can NOT win when they are crippled by" No Civilian injurers" or dont shoot till they do!! Or .. wait, let me call back and see if I can shoot at these guys that just shot my fellow solder!!
    Sorry.. buddy , but the war could be over a long time ago.. but the liberals and the bleeding hearts want to coddle the people killing our guys!! LOL!

    OH and the COST!! Have you EVER tried to see who is getting all that money?? Not the GI!! Not the Nurses!! Not the army... it is the freaking civilian contractors that make the 300.00 Hammer or the 500.00 toilet seat!! ( does UNION sound familure??) The GI still is eating cold meals, sleeping in crap, and doing the job that the Civilians sent them to do.. ( thus Vote the suckers out, and lets make some good judgments on term limitations / lobbyist's/ full disclosure/ and maybe just listen to the people!!

    But hey... it is all good!! Just hard to say the Obama care is a good thing when it could have been done different for a lot less than the 32000 years of seconds spent!! AH what the HECK I will be dead in 20 years.. and you guys will still be paying for it!! And after 22 years in the service of this country, it is good that at least you DO have an opinion, yes??
    Now get out and VOTE in November..
    Just me...........................................

    What color is the sky on your planet? Were talking about American Politics. Does such a creature exist? Maybe. Give him or her a couple weeks with the current lot and there done.

    What we need is a good old fashioned revolution. If I could just dig up Paul Revere....................

    Both sides make a lot of stupid decisions. But I don't think the world is ending and Obama is not destroying America.

    Thank you for your service. I have some close friends who were in Iraq and I wish they didn't have to go over there, that's all. Yes, I do vote.

    I'm just gonna slowly back out of this thread now....

    Yea, the same Founding Fathers that set up the greatest country the world has ever seen, with the best government ever devised. I love how liberals always go back to their default answers.....racism, unjust war.....LOL. So you really think the Founding Fathers were bad? I suppose you think we should apologize to all our enemies also? LOL!

    I was simply making a joke. Relax.

    I guess I should clarify that I don't believe in time machines. That was a joke as well.
