It's not okay with ... ( 1 year ago by ParadeRainer)

It's not okay with me, but once again federal money is not the solution. That problem needs to be handle at state and local level. People have local politicians and state representatives they can complain to about that and they can fight to fix that problem and change that at local level. There's also a better chance to get results as it's easier to make noise and accomplish things at state and local level than it is at federal level. More people listen.

So, instead of ... ( 1 year ago by ParadeRainer)

So, instead of complaining about no federal money, how about complaining about state and local officials not providing essential services to the areas that need them most.

Well please, McCain was asked what his position on abortion was, after like a full minute of pondering he said I'm sure I have a position on this, let me check with my office and get back to you. He was serious. Wow. im ean wow.

Lol, it took her like a full minute to remember the party line. Tsk. tsk.

Haha! We were taught in our public relations classes that if a person in the public eye is being asked a question that they don't know the answer to, that they are supposed to say, "I don't know the answer to that right now, but let me check my sources and I will have my office get back to you on that one." Funny thing is, this woman said pretty much the same thing, but she didn't even get a number or anything to get back to this person. Doubt she ever will.

The economic ... ( 1 year ago by JeffersDodge)

The economic sectors in Iraq include the agricultural, infrastructure, banking and energy. Iraq has the manpower, access to foreign capital and natural resources to create a flourishing business environment. What's evolving is a workable tax system, an organized legal and regulatory framework, a reformed, transparent banking sector and adequately paid bureaucracy. What's hindering development is the emboldening rhetoric coming from the American Democrats in support of Iran and Al Qaeda.

Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

Drake is a ... ( 9 months ago by motiongraphics81)

Drake is a Republican that DRAFTED the military commissions act (and completely dodges questions about it), voted FOR the patriot act, and generally has turned her back on all sorts of Republican principles. She's a snake, and if you're a Republican voter in VA Cong. Dist. 2, Don't vote for her! Stay home on election day.

You people need to ... ( 5 months ago by computermind)

You people need to learn what people in government actually have to do: Answer your stupid questions thousands of times. I don't blame her, and if you do, you should try doing her job, but I wouldn't want you to because you obviously don't have the first clue about how government is run. So to everyone that wants things different, vote. If your candidate lost, suck it up and request change, but don't badger the people in office doing their job. And if you don't vote, shut the hell up.

Drake the Snake is a big fat fake! Republicans are supposed to stand for FREE MARKET CAPITALISM. Is giving millions in taxpayer dollars free market Capitalism? Hardly! I should run against her.

You should actually research things BEFORE coming to a conclusion. That's what Thelma Drake was saying. It's not about her opinion, it's about the FACTS!
