And, for the record, I don't think unions should be able to use member dues to pay for political campaigns, if I have a problem with corporations doing it. But I certainly don't think letting more money into the process is a positive thing, and this is one of the reasons I voted for Obama - to ensure against a further lopsided Supreme Court - which doesn't serve ANY of our best interests. We've now seen what a 5-4 majority can do, let alone a 6-3 or more...
Can anyone explain to me why they think the recent Supreme Court ruling is a positive thing to each of us as an individual? I'm sure there are good reasons, I just don't see them yet. Especially if you complain about politicians being bought and only being in their positions for personal gain, eventually.
? I've seen you on countless occasions sing the praises of tax credits and incentives, when it was for things you deem worthy. Now as a way to spur the economy, get people to buy cars, houses and help small businesses hire workers - which helps unemployment and creates jobs - it's a bad thing?
Did you see Ford Motor Company's last quarter? Pure success, and part of that HAS to be from the Cash for Clunkers program you call out. The Country GDP just out shows the economy growing at the largest clip in many years - these credits and plans have to be a part of that. And you guys bitch about jobs being the most important thing - he comes out with a plan for it, and it's nothing but something to find fault with.

So, you are calling tax credits and incentives nothing more than a payoff? Reducing people's taxes while motivating them to spend money, make purchases, and enter into large purchases is something different now than in conservative plans?

Bin Laden blasts US for climate change

CAIRO (AP) - Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.
In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt.
He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for "drastic solutions" to global warming, and "not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change."
Bin Laden has mentioned climate change and global warning in past messages, but the latest tape was his first dedicated to the topic. The speech, which included almost no religious rhetoric, could be an attempt by the terror leader to give his message an appeal beyond Islamic militants.
The al-Qaida leader also targeted the U.S. economy in the recording, calling for a boycott of American products and an end to the dollar's domination as a world currency.
"We should stop dealings with the dollar and get rid of it as soon as possible," he said. "I know that this has great consequences and grave ramifications, but it is the only means to liberate humanity from slavery and dependence on America."
He argued that such steps would also hamper Washington's war efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The new message, whose authenticity could not immediately be confirmed, comes after a bin Laden tape released last week in which he endorsed a failed attempt to blow up an American airliner on Christmas Day
