The exchange came after "cheap talking" Mr. Graham and Sen. John McCain said they are devout "crank Yankers" and they implied don't like minorities at all.

guy, you need to get off the drugs. you are the one thinking crazy.

to begin with, you should stop calling other americans crazy. suggest solutions. you know what I mean?..have you heard of constructive criticism?
frankly, I think the problems we have been experiencing in the last couple of decades has to do with the free trade agreements that our politicians on capitol hill (both republicians and democrats) have been pushing.
the outsourcing. the building of factories overseas.
if we do that, than, the financial problems will stop.

i agree with you on trade agreements....they are slanted towards the powerful...

I see Obamas re-election as a mandate on extending the bush tax cuts, for the middle class.....

you agree with that right??

a tax cut??

It won't save the world, I agree.

For me, what can, well perhaps not save but improve a lot our human condition, is when people will understand that building financial empire based on lies, is always a form of stealing the next generations. Prohibition of any drugs is just that: it is based on a lies and only lies, and it kills slowly but surely the root of democracy, economy, ecology and the human overall sanity.

You just watch in the coming days, these Republican fools will be at each other's throats.
Republicans, GOP and Teas Party members all seem to be in HEAT, and they want to just go out a screw someone to make up for their 2012 election losses.
Then the Tea Party clowns will conme in with the 2nd act.

They already are, the problem the GOP has is that their base get their news from sources allied with one faction or another within their party.

Faux news, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter etc

The more moderate GOP can’t reach their own people, or they will be labeled as RINO's by the talking heads.

They are screwed, and I honestly don’t see how they will be able to turn the party around.

Which means next election we get a fringe right wing religious nut job as the republican candidate, and the Democrats could run Pee Wee Herman and win ( not that I think they should run Pee Wee Herman LOL )

Jindal actually has it right, they have to stop being the stupid party, but the talking heads are banking on stupid.

Funny, that is what Republicans have been doing for several days now, They have blamed society, everything and everyone ( even the weather ) except their own flawed ideals

a tax cut??

the reason why we are even talking about tax cuts or tax increases is because we don't have enough money coming in to pay the money being spent. PERIOD.

so, as I see it, if we stop OUTSOURCING OUR JOBS, and allowing our corporations to build OUR factories overseas, everybody will have jobs. right?

and as a result, the tax revenues will INCREASE thereby resolving much of our financial problems.

next thing to deal with would be the outrageous amount of money we allow to be donated to other countries and spent on non-citizenws. if it is american money. it should be spent on americans.

according to the hudson institute, we are talking about 200+ BILLION dollars that is donated/spent on other countries EACH year. WHY?

alcoa had the right idea. build the factories in YOUR OWN country. and ship the product out to those who want it. NOT the other way around.

[Lemons]

Chicken or the egg?

Na, it;s just a bunch of sour pusses from the Republican party anyway.

exactly, good point...

I wish it were that simple with regards to keeping corporations manufacturing and employing people in the markets they service and make profits from...

they are literally slitting their own throats for short term gain...

as far as foriegn aid is concerned?? I think the idea is that engagement is more productive means of keeping tabs on things, over hiding your head under a rock and hoping nothing bad happens....

it is the way the money is spent that bothers me.

instead of using for just good things like schools and clinics??

they make war for resources......that is the primary goal...

for our corporations to have all the advantages they need in stealing other nations goodies....

if democracy was popular enough to succeed in the middle east??

much of the oil would have been nationalized by now..

...instead there are a myraid of western companies drilling in most of the countries...

Iran is the only country that has actually nationalized their oil, and they still need help from the far east to do the job of extraction and refinment...

Let's hope it works out, if made legal, it will have to come with a warning to cover it's butt just like every other drug. Even too much caffeine can be dangerous. FDA reports possible link between 5-hour Energy and 13 deaths

I am voting no. Have just a couple of basic questions? Who will be going to their homes to measure the regulated grow? Department of Agriculture? How are these users really going to keep the weed away from their kids and their friends? What breathalyzer test are we going to use when some one is under the influence and driving?

1. Excessive amounts will be discovered via "plain sight" during a police visit, or when reported by another.
2. Nobody keeps anything away from their kids today. Indeed, many kids learn criminal behavior from parents.
3. It's called a Urine test. Unfortunately, chronic users may test positive weeks, even months, after last use, when they are not "under the influence" in any way. So, DUI will have to be determined on the basis of actual driving ability (hand-eye coordination), as it should be anyway.
4. Too late to vote, but I would vote YES, for all of the U.S. As Amsterdam experience has shown us with respect to hard drugs, problems arise when jurisdictions treat substance issues differently.
The Four Freedoms include the Pursuit of Happiness. I don't use alcohol. I want to have an after-work relaxation substance without breaking any law, just as my colleagues do with their cocktails, beers, etc. My work is difficult, socially necessary, and very draining.
And while I'm ranting, how about the stupidity of requiring urine tests of ppl, when hard drugs and alcohol don't show mere hours (sometimes days) after use? If my experience with retail store employees of late is as common as it appears, retailers are hiring the wrong ppl. Those NOT flunking a drug test appear to be on the dull, "I donno nuthin" side.

You should come with a warning. And if you are too stupid not to kill yourself with caffeine- thanks for playing and better luck next time! Idiot-proof the world and pretty soon you are in a world full of, well......you know.
And if you don't, just ask Riccardo, he overdosed on his own stupidity years ago.

The Morman FBI agent, Frederick W. Humphries II, 47, is also described by former colleagues as relentless in his pursuit of what he sees as wrongdoing.

Which appears to describe his role in the F.B.I. investigation involving Mr. Petraeus. Suspecting that the case involved serious security issues and was being stalled.
