We let dozens of politicians on all levels from President to dog catcher cheat on their wives or significant others, this includes gay politicians as well! And, what have we historically done about it,.....nothing, nothing at all! Are we going to start down a new road of moral …

This is so sad, it is very sad, it should make an American cry. To think that our country is being hijacked because we have a society with open markets, a sense of freedom, and opportunities for our kids. Our society has been hijacked in many ways; economic, ethical, and moral.

Should all elected official be subject to instant recall when they start selling tax paid for infrastructure. Privatizing public schools, selling stretches of highways to create toll roads, and taxpayer sports stadiums does no one any good.

Now that his proposal is made public, and people have had a chance to see it, will the Wisconsinites who put this fellow in office keep him there come the next election? The attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and other 'entitlements' (actually funded by taxpayer and employee c …

Republicans did nothing to get Osama and they had nearly 8 years. Republicans are giving tax cuts on to the wealthy corporate on the backs of mid and low socio-economic groups.

The Republicans should be ended as a political party, they are one big interest group for the wealthy corporate. They get elected by citizens through convincing lies, big spending slick propaganda campaigns and then become Benedict Arnold almost to the man.

Why do we bother electing representatives to represent us in city, county, state, and national governments? They don't represent us, they don't provide us with the guarantees of our country, state, and city Constitutions, and....we pay them! I propose that we stop paying our rep …
