Over at Huffpo, the banner induces one to believe that the President intends to put more of our citizens in harm’s way in Afghanistan. What does he know that we don’t that would induce him to escalate an already unpopular police action?
Word is, over 30,000 more men and women would be imperiled by such a gambit. Where’s the upside to this move, one calculated to diminish the approval of our President? What interests will benefit by propping up a corrupt regime at a time when our country collapses from within?
Forgive me; I have lots of questions today, but no answers. Here’s my list and if knowledgeable Kossacks have answers please enlighten me!
• Will Leader Reid change cloture rules currently requiring 60 Senators to invoke- down to 55? It sounds like Rep Grayson’s proposal makes perfect sense; thence being able to bypass the threats of Lieberman, Lincoln etc. in regards the healthcare bill.
• Why are the Wall Street reform bills being gutted?
• What happened to EFCA?
• Where’s the leadership for direct government action in the face of massive unemployment?
• Why are Republicans so nervous about public trials for suspected Al Qaida members in NY?
• Why are people like Geithner, Summers and their minions still allowed to have the President’s ear?
• Why does the possible replacement for Geithner appear to be at best a dismal choice, if it evolves?

• What is with the media’s fascination of Beck, Palin and Cheney?

• What purpose did Obama’s trip to Asia serve and why did he go when he did?

• What is being done to prepare for the impending economic tsunami of commercial loan failures?
• What impelled our leaders to write a 2000 page health bill when allowing anyone to "opt in" to Medicare would have taken an hour to write, a minute to read and a second to sign?
• Why haven’t taxes been restored to the 1960 levels (90%) on the wealthiest Americans?
• Why hasn’t the cap on Social Security and Medicare contributions been removed?
• Why hasn’t legislation been written to promote alt Vehicle production and light rail production here in the United States and order GM to begin implementing?
• Why is the Catholic Church and the LDS spending big money against gay and lesbian initiatives? Shouldn’t we revoke their tax exempt status forthwith?
• Why is Jeff Sessions still a sitting Senator?
• Why does my state (GA) even bother electing Senators? Look where it gets us.
I could go on, but I need to save a few for my next coffee break. Sorry they’re not in any specific order, but I’m not too orderly today. Don’t hesitate to add to the list if you want. Here’s a smile :>) and a handshake for reading to the end.
