It’s Just a Flesh Wound

the 10% are ridiculus. they are totally unaware of the real world. does the majority rule? wake up America,

to think everything is a-ok ,is beyond being nuts!! people do desperate things in time of need. crime jumps,people die-suicide etc.some go to prison,the list goes on. WE THE PEOPLE must unite, and change things for the good of humanity.I'm sorry, I don't GET OFF on calamity or bringing people to their knees!!! yes,we need a polictical change for the MAJORITY.not the 10% terds,oops I mean NERDS

Without a doubt, we are all up a creek. Retail is a huge segment of our economy. Without retail sales that generate imports, China won't be happy with us. Without our being able to pay high fuel prices, the Middle East won't be happy with us. Without our ability to make everyone else in the world behave,,,,on our dime,,,,we are definitely up a creek alright. That's what our role has been...to make the rest of the world a better place. Now that 90% have no more to give to the rest of the world? What happens next?

NO HEART?? I give over 60% of my income in the form of some tax to you parasite unproductive leaches? I don't complain. I mostly laugh at you. How much heart/bank account of mine do you need from me? What have you done for me?

Heartless, selfish, posters

Your are the most heartless poster, I've ever read, you are not human, you have no heart LLing10

BTW excellent article mr tuttle!

!0 % seem to be living in a dreamworld ~!

My best guess is that the satisfied group shakes down like this: 2 out of ten consist of hard-core political operatives from Neo-Con Land, the mentally incompetent and deranged, and relatives of the current administration; 2 out of ten consist of crooked Wall Street "winners" and oil-company executives; 3 out of ten consist of illegal drug users who have recently scored; and the final 3 out of ten consist of the survey's margin of error.

It could be that we are satisfied in comparison to "from where we came". Some of us were poorer growing up that what we are now. Some of us see that America maybe needs a wakeup call and a chance to "grow up". Folks are not working hard, they are stressing about things they don't have and quite frankly can't afford for the income they make. We have each got to wake up and realize that we have made choices individually and governmentally that have forced us into this situation. Now what are we gonna do? Are we going to still seek happiness in over eating food and buying cheap goods from overseas and blame it all on some elite group? Responsiblity on all levels--that is what we need. I see this as the growing up lesson we need, as long as we do the right amount of time in "time out" but I don't think the government is willing to let us do that. After all they must "take care" of us lesser mortals.....especially those of us outside the beltway.

As an American living abroad, I sometimes have different opinions as my environment has changed. For me, this election process is just more of same old same old politics on both sides. With one side being more clever, the other daft as hell. Neither has the edge I would like to see. Sadly, travelling through a number of countries these past few weeks, my feeling is broadcast loudly by non Americans frustrated with what we see. I think the saddest part for me in watching this from afar, is my feelings on the comment below about Pailin and the Number Two Job in the World. Unfortunately even the Republician party has now acknowledged that the post is well down there in World terms. Even the POTUS is well down there in real importance.

There is alot of hysteria in the media with current events, I feel the problems lie as much with a loss in faith and trust in America itself.

We will see...

Something missing in the brains of these people, and GW Bush and McCain are among them.
GWBush and McCain both were touting the economy as being "Great" only a few weeks ago and both think after the great failure of trickle down economics is so very evident, both think things are just fine even as the number of people falling below the poverty line continues at the rate of a million per year or more.
But it goes beyond economics, with the lose of so many freedoms and the lose of the moral high road America once held with torture and loss of constitutional rights and freedoms, we have a government just throwing people into secret prisons for years and tortured to death.
The concept of right and wrong is missing in these people, they call themselves "compassionate" in the total absence of any thing resembling compassion.
It took McNamara 30 years before he acknowledged and apologized for the wrongness of Vietnam. GW Bush will never apologize, he is incapable of understanding, just as those who support Bush for preventing an invasion of terrorists who have no navy or airforce.
