MMS was set up to monitor and safeguard oil and coal exploration. It has been a flop...under several administrations...including this one.
I have no preference for any of the various cable channel pundits or either political party or any columnist. I care only for the nation and reasonable discussion of possibilities.
And I hope that we can all distinguish between real ideas and self-serving BS that seeks only to divide the nation and sell books.
I seek solutions, not predictable talking point, canned nonsense.
Please join me in a dialogue...one that is for the nation's good with no commercial gain for anyone.
What say you?

1. YOU mentioned Beck and Savage...NOT ME. I cannot recall ever quoting any of these folks and I mentioned those I mentioned to show how foolish your statement was.
2. In regards to the insuring of uninsured, do you realize what he swapped for that simple political gain, which by the way was not and is not wanted by the american public ?
3. I support more regulation of Wall St so we agree.
4. I just want to tell you that you may post here anytime on any subject as many have asked for supporters of the President to do just that but all we hear is about Bush for the most part !
Tomorrow, time permitting perhaps we can continue on actual issues without talking about pretty speeches or pre conceived notions and talk about FACTS and what is really happening !
