Your information that the sequester has shut down half the federal government is wrong.

I have yet to see a political candidate that doesn't promise "better government." The problem is that such a thing is an oxymoron. What we need is far LESS government - that's the only "better government" you can count on.

DeKalb County wasted hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars installing all those new pedestrian crossing signals at every intersection. Throughout Tucker, Stn. Mtn. and Lithonia, every pedestrian ignores them and jaywalks everywhere else all the time. I witness it every single day driving to and from work.

I agree that part of solving our financial woes is increased tax revenue. I do not agree that the only way to accomplish this is through increasing tax rates. Simple "price point" economics prove that it is possible to increase tax revenue by reducing tax rates.

Don't forget, it was George Washington and our other founders who got us into this mess. Please stop the blame game. You can't go back in time, so if you can't handle TODAY'S issues, move over and let someone in who can. You cant move forward if you're always looking back.

Calling the public option healthcare reform a "government takeover" is like ... well, lying. Spin is spin and don't even try to pretend republicans don't rename things in their favor too. You all tried to paint ObamaCare as "socialism" and a "government option" when it was neither, so go cry to someone else about immigrants.

Score: -435

When a republican says he works hard for his money he really means he schemes hard for his money and ways to evade taxes.
