A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey, taken during the last week in October, gave Huckabee a 52-44 percent lead over Obama in a hypothetical matchup. Romney was preferred 50-45 percent (within margin of error) over the president in the poll of 921 registered voters. If the new Congress wants changes to social securety then they too should have the same as what they pass on us. Also their retirement package is out of order, Serve once and your paiid your salary for life no other job does that. When and if they make changes make sure they have to follow the same changes or not do anything at all.

Work in the present one day at a time and somethings might get done, Our monetary train is busted and not working and has lots of spaces to fall through. Can't we have a real year of policy making for the people. Let that be 2011. 2011 should not be a year of campaining it shoud be a year of reps and dems communicating and working togeether. WE are not only counting on the President for CHANGE. The people who care want to see changes made by you men and women. What is that saying -"it ain't about you-its about all of us"

Do NOT incorporate God forsaken federal regulations. Devise plans to send American materials and manpower to Haiti and to parts of the Tsunami-stricken Pacific Rim. Rebuild those areas. Use American shipping, American nails and screws and lumber. Put American builders to work, using all American saws and hammers. Rebuild Haiti so that the construction conforms to the Southern Building Code for Coastal Florida... do not go the old Soviet way with watered-down concrete and minimal specifications. Send American trucks and tractors to work in those countries. Where you can, do the same in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let's use our government's "wealth" to artificially create a shortage in building supplies and labor inside America. Meanwhile, come up with some sensible plans to make it feasible for banks to lend to home-buyers -- not a repeat of the failed Clinton plan....... Then, let's see what happens!

We have plenty of natural gas and won't have to spend money buyiing it from our unfriendly neighbors. This will also help our finances and will be more easily accomplished.

We as a country have and enjoy the right to have different social views and perspectives that is what makes this a great country to live in and is the very fabric to which civil liberties are derived. With that being said these social perspectives began to turn in to political views and the line between our own civil liberities interfere with our obligations to serve a country and its citizens. In my opinion it is very difficult to support or by into a philosophy (party) that respresents less than 2% of your social belief or roots. If a party wants to truely reach out and be objectively open and bipartisan then true inclusion is where it starts, not turning figures into poster childs, because Americans are much more intelligent than that. The only way we will accomplish what we are capable of politically and otherwise is to come together and work on policies that affect us all. Politicians need to take off their "PARTY CLOTHS" and work together.
