		<description>RNC chairman Michael Steele released this statement: “I believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman and strongly disagree with Maine’s decision to legalize gay marriage.” His comments put him at odds with Maine’s two Republican senators, who believe the issue should be left up to the states.

Yeah, SteelyMike, keep alienating those moderate Publicans, go for it ya lovable dufus!</description>

		<description>Bachmann is absolutely correct.  

The interest alone on the debt will be staggering.  Of course then taxes will need to be raised.

And before becoming president, Obama is on record stating that cap and trade will
necessarily cause utility rates to skyrocket.  More taxes passed on to consumers.

And #71, while on his apology tour President Obama asked to not be blamed for the past sins of America.  Don&#039;t blame Bachmann for evils she had no part in.</description>

		<description>There is a serious case of projection going on related to Bachmann&#039;s &quot;reeducation camps for young people&quot; comment. Bachmann&#039;s husband has a relationship with a teen rehab clinic, while on the face is for drug abuse problems, it is very much concerned with an anti-gay agenda. The concept appears to be that drug abuse and gayness are linked.</description>

		<description>Last week she also said that the last swine flu outbreak was during Carters time in office. The fact is, it was during the Ford time in office. She said this as if she had some truth regarding a Democratic cause of swine flu.

Even when she lies, she cannot make sense. She and Palin must be from the same egg. Two such stupid women. If I thought this refugee from intelligent thought was a real representation of a woman, I would get my sex changed immediately.</description>

		<description>Sure you have Timmeh. You and KMORON are both brainwashed fools. Telling us about how terrible it is that Obama pointed out how much more concerned Hedge fund managers are about THEIR profits and high bonuses than about America. Shame on him then Kmoron adds his delusions about what he thinks Obama MIGHT do just so he can call him a Soclialst like Rush TOLD him to. Proving once again you are BOTH too stupid to even know what the word means. YOu are both pathetic losers too stupid to be believed or taken seriously. Pity is the only thing you two morons deserve.</description>

		<description>I think Michelle Bachmann&#039;s language is most interesting. She invokes slavery through her use of phrases like &quot;chains and shackles&quot; and &quot;government servants&quot;.  Could it be that she betrays herself and the others of like mind through these words?   Do they, in their heart of hearts fear that what they did to others could back to haunt them? Hmmm...</description>

<p>Do not mistake my apprehension for reduced support for Obama.  I support him, fully.  I might want more answers but I still support him over any Republican in the past, present and future.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5630938', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;No, i&#039;m trying to provide context for you. Right now the situation that we are in is exceptional. It is not the norm. So our response to it needs to be exceptional. The idea that Obama is doing this for the heck of it is either disingenous or shows a total lack of understanding of the scope of the problem. The same tired mantra of tax cuts and deregulation don&#039;t work. (see the last 8 years). Trickle down economics don&#039;t work. Right now, the government is the only entity with the means to stimulate the economy, more than any other sector. Not only is the Obama administration putting money back into the economy to stimulate it, but also working to save billions through proposals such is revamping of health care, greening the economy, addressing tax havens for the rich who keep money overseas, and reversing the Bush tax cuts from 2001. (Back to the tax rate of the 90&#039;s when everyone was prosperous). What was proposed was a STIMULUS. It is temporary to prevent another Great Depression. Should they sit back and do nothing? Is that ideal? And wouldn&#039;t another Depression be more expensive than ANYTHING else?

Still, no answer as to what we can do to solve the economic crisis that we are seeing right now. Just general responses that have been spewed for decades by the right AND the people who got us into this mess. &lt;/em&gt;
