    First, Oracle **is** a large IT development company and they screwed the site up....they have a (well earned) reputation for screwing up projects

    Then how in the hell did they get hired? I have to think that corruption is involved.

    So you're saying Oracle's malfeasance and ineptitude was widely know prior to them being contracted to build Oregon's exchange.

    Ok, I have checked the co-signatories. And? I am in total agreement that Churchill was a peace advocate. So am I. He also realized that Germany had no intention of honoring the Munich Agreement, and that it wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

    Given the choice, I'd still pick Churchill every time.

    This whole post is exactly on point. If I were given the choice to be Chamberlain or Churchill, I'd pick Churchill every time.

    It has a moral obligation to protect nations that it said it would protect. When you tell a country you'll defend it against aggressors if it gives up it's nuclear weapons, you had better follow through if ever need be. That is if you want to be taken seriously in the world and seen as a driving force for good.

    Do you actually believe he can't change legislation? This President has most certainly changed legislation. He has chosen not to enforce other laws. Based on that fallacy, I can't really respect the rest of your argument.

    Sure, but it's actually much easier to just not fund, and even easier yet, just not enforce odious laws. The constitution doesn't really matter any more.

    There is no such thing as a mandatory program unless it is mandated by the Constitution. We can choose to recognize this fact, or we can be forced to recognize this fact. Either way it will eventually happen.

    If you try to stop it or change it, you are labeled a hostage taker that is holding a gun to the head of the American people. This country is doomed.

    There is a whole swath of voters in this country that have been brainwashed to think only two issue matter. Same sex marriage and abortion. While they are certainly important issues, they are not exclusive. A fascist totalitarian society is still fascist and totalitarian, with or without same sex marriage. Wake up America.

    That's the job of the 4th estate. It used to be a job they wholeheartedly supported and did well. Now they just take orders from the people who order the monitors, and pretend the monitoring isn't happening.

    So when the Christian Fundamentalists take control, they can round up all the babykillers and send then to work camps. Or maybe just publicly ostracize and shame them. Or maybe even so the database can be leaked to a newspaper, and the names and addresses will be published.

    I think we need a federal database of everyone that has had an abortion. How would you like that?
