Pat says "Only problem is that we cannot drill out way to "energy Independence", no matter how hard we try! Even McCain understands that now but this Michael Steele apparently does not...nor does Sarah Palin."
Did you actually listen to her speech? I think that her response, correct me if I am wrong, to that very comment was 'like we didn't know that already.' and then she went into naming at least three different types of renewable energy. You really gotta listen to hold a discussion, not just talk. Every see someone talking to themselves with no one around? Looks kinda crazy doesnt it?

anybody see the "McPalin" stenciled on stop signs around town today? One on the stop sign on the corner of third and cowles, more out there for sure. Amazing how quickly the graffitti vandals can get organized.
Gotta say, McPalin has a catchy little ring to it.

Paul everyone does things for one of four reasons; love/be loved, to feel important, variety and most importantly to live. Some where along the line they have put a belief in the window they see life through that tells them that by being a part of this group one of these basic needs is being filled. Most times, it is only a cover for the real scar and they need to communicate with others to find out what happened in their life that placed a belief in their window of perceived reality that makes them feel entering a gang filed that hole. Could be a sense of belonging, wanting more, a need to be larger in life then they feel they might be with the world social order they way it is. The key in what I said was the communication. People, all people (self included) need to spend more time with the people in their life talking about real things and not just the Sunday football game. As much as it was a joke, one of the truest statements made was from Chris Rock when he said "Parents need to talk to their children and its gotta be more than 'daddy will be right back.'"

I want the full benefits of this program and the full benefits of that program and damn it if I dont get it you are not fair. Sounds like my six year old honestly.
Just an old Irish family question, but who told you life was fair?

Good does that mean that I can still put my trash out in the morning until I get the letter or, just like I already know, did they in fact start coming through at 7 am about a month ago and not tell any one until just now? Better late than never huh.

Cant I just believe that he is not the best candidate and it be left for just what it is, my opinion? If I dont like hillary its because I am masogynist, if I dont like Obama I am a racist, If I do like McCain I am a racist. Whatever. I think that they are all bad choices, not because of anything other than my views differ from theirs.

Oh BlueCollarRon, candidate for city council, don't you realize that humor is one the best parts on this comment section? Nobody out there who reads the paper will see the comments here, and you will need to be a little more thick skinned if you plan on being successful at any level of politics. You are on a public comment section, and besides, your online call name shows you have a sense of humor, so lighten up bluecollarron.

The gangs have been using the military to train their new recruits. All you have to do is lie, if gang activity does not show up on the background check what can the military do until they see a problem? Gangs are getting more and more organized and they are using the resources that are already out there to train their own soldiers. That old saying about one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch is really just a perception, the majority of our military families out on Ft WW will not tolerate this on their base any more than they would on the street their mom lives on.

Any divorce is going to have two sides, it sounds like back in 1980, you know 28 years ago, the man did the best that he could with a bad situation. Personally I will look to how a person acts not in a time of comfort but in a time of turmoil to find the true character of their person. If you want to talk about McCain's past bring up being a POW with two broken arms and still finding it important to help the moral of the guy in the cell next to you.
BTW- my dislike for the reasoning in this letter is not an indication of where my vote will go. I still feel like I am having to choose between the best of two evils and that sucks.
