Gridlock in Congress is only good when the economy and employment are good. Now is not the time for partisanship.

* * *

I speak for all Republicans. We are ready to be bipartisan, so go ahead and use us to fill the pothole in the road to health care reform.

* * *

I am liberal, and I think that's a very progressive way to be.

* * *

Vice President Joe Biden says that the American people have "gotten their money's worth" from the stimulus package. I'd say Joe doesn't know the worth of money, or how angry the American people are with his stupid comments.

* * *

I've heard of federal-initiated job stimulus packages, but what is the state doing to save us? Please create jobs, not budget cuts.

* * *

The rich got their tax cuts under President Bush and outsourced many American jobs. If "trickle down" is to work, then stop outsourcing.

* * *

All this bickering is destroying America. Stop the "blame game."

* * *

Wall Street is operating as if Joe Kennedy were back on the street.

* * *

The biggest problem with big government's plan to make people more dependent on the government is that when your tax base decreases, taxes are forced to increase.

* * *

If you can't stand behind our troops, stand in front of them. Please.

* * *

It is no wonder that our merchandise is so expensive. Half the cost is in the freight. The reason the freight is so high is because of state and federal government putting so many taxes and fines on the independents. Tell your government to back off.

* * *

You mean they call it scholarly to know that "Candle in the Wind" is based on Marilyn Monroe's life? Whatever happened to teaching math, science and history in school?

* * *

Put the drug dealers in jail instead of their victims, and you won't have to worry about jail overcrowding.

* * *

I read with dismay that Hawker Beechcraft is sending work once done at the Salina facility to Mexico. Maybe the company can figure out a way to send the illegal Mexicans who are clogging our schools, hospitals and jails along with it.

* * *

Why can't the state ban the use of any type of communication device while driving, with the exception of calling 911 in the case of a true emergency? This should apply to all drivers, regardless of age.
