Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.

Oh Boy! Who will nominate Fave Michele Bachmann as presidential candidate? Not Republicans. Maybe TEA Partiers. Bachmann is living in a "bubble" of self deceit. TEA Partiers did not and still do not understand Republicans. Republicans hate Blacks, poor whites and powerful white women in politics. See how they treated Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell and Michael Steele. Republicans want to remove Steele as chair. They have used him. Republicans do not want Sarah Palin. They now think she is air-head. Now Fave Michele Bachmann wants to be nominated by Republicans? Look at her picture. Do you really think Republicans will nominate her? She should forget it.

It is about people that are to good to work jobs other people work but they are intittled to a better job. Now that thier unemployeement has run out they have to take a job that they feel is under them.

The point is, Congress and America has a whole is pretending the 99ers don't exist. Remember, the 99ers are people have been out of work for at least 99 weeks and the extension to unemployment does not affect them, it affects only those who are still receiving unemployment compensation. The 99ers have absolutely no income and many of them have been forced to take low-paying jobs or go on welfare--both are soul-killing to people who once had worked in the business community.

As I have pointed out many times (more than they will post), they MAY have a point in their cartoon, but they almost never get it across.
