Aren't you guys gonna get hammered come Jan. 1 with a tax increase? He's no friend of Canada or the oil pipeline so I was hoping for a different verdict. To all the tree huggers out there, be careful for what you ask for. If Vegas would take it, I would bet the farm on a Republican Victory come 2016, hope I'm still around to celebrate it with you.....

Im in a public employee union. It is a joke and a wasye of taxpayer money. Dont get me wrong, Everyone should thank the unions of yesteryear but they have far outlived their usefulness.

In response to Mr. Mac, Obama won because he is a democrat and what he has done to straighten out what was screwed up by George W. Bush. How about pointing out the things Obama has done that are clear as day, saving the auto industry, killing bin laden, and starting to clean up the messs from George W. Did you happen to notice that the democratic party enlisted the help of former president Bill Clinton during the election, while the republican party never mentioned George W. Bush? Why is that? It does appear that they are disassociating themselves from the man they supported while he was in office. Let's also look at the fact that the republican party has shown they are against unions, the very group that has made working conditions fair for the American people. The democratic party is clearly for the working people while Romney and his entourage want to stuff their pockets by breaking up unions and sticking it to the middle and lower class folks. Finally, the republicans have also proven that they are not as supportive of public education as the democratic party. The dire straits that the education system is in right now is because of the republican run states in this country like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, etc...

Everyone seems to look down upon those who are on welfare and food stamps. My family had to go on food stamps when I was a kid not because my parents were lazy and wanted to live off of the government teet. My dad got laid off of his factory job almost at the end of every month and when I was born they let him and a lot of others go compeletly. My mom told me that he would go out each day and fill out applications going from one business to the other trying to get a job but no one was hiring in the area(this was around 1986). They had to move in with my great grandmother whom we lived with until she passed away a few years ago. My dad finally got lucky and got a job with the city here and was able to start saving money to move us into a better neighborhood. My mom was able to start working once I was old enough to go to school (because daycare is not cheap not even in those days) and we were able to move into a better neighborhood and we ended up having my great grandmother with us as a repayment to her for helping us out and not having to go through the embarrasment of standing in line with two kids as the grocery store clerk processes your food stamps. Luckily we were not on them that long. My parents were able to move us to the suburbs, save up to help me go to college which I worked my way through as well, and now I am fully employed.

Before people critize all the less fortunate people in the world, first walk a mile in their shoes. Trust me, know one wants to go through that. All we hear about are the small percentage of the people who take advantage of these programs which gives them a black eye. A lot of it is shere luck of the draw on where you are born. I was born in a lower economic class which was able to work their way into the middle class with a little help. People who have been born into a situation where they have never had to decide whether they will eat that night or their kids, should never look down upon someone who does.

We'll be celebrating the election of Hillary Clinton as the first woman president in 2016, and as long as we're exporting oil as we are now, we don't need your damn pipeline....Celebrate that!

This jackwads welfare check will still arrive on time next month. "the democratic party is clearly for the working people"???? What drug is it you are on? The dems are for the BUMS that live off of the government! Which is why the fool that got 4 more years got re-elected.

Your ACCESS card will be reloaded for the purchase of your groceries lpjazz.... you still have enough money to buy your beer and cigarettes.

A big problem is the duopoly of the two party system that has brainwashed all of America by the establishment and the media. It's a damn shame when my kids come home from school and don't realize there is more choices than just a Democrat or a Republican. The children need to know their are other options out there and we need to be the ones to inform them if we are to ever get away from this craziness. Willard and Barack are gonna tax us and spend no matter who would've won, the two parties do not allow the independent thinkers help determine their candidates in alot of states because we might actually get a candidate like a Ron Paul, Gary Johnson or one with common sense that knows religion has no place in government and government has no place in your home, bedroom or anywhere else in your private lives. If you wanna smoke some pot, go smoke it for christs sake just don't do something stupid and endanger others lives by driving high (think of the revenue and new jobs when there is a pot shop in every state). It's time for all of America to wake up and see if one of the true smaller government, less big brother candidates could actually do what they claim they could and give one a chance or if they simply would just become another cog in the wheel.

That would explain your lack of understanding on the value of a union! It also explains why you back a republican...you want to be "the man" and take care of "the man" and the democrats and unions want to be treated fairly when they work for "the man"!
