  • Now if the Romney campaign would just make a commercial showing Obama saying that, with today’s date…and then show footage of the Benghazi attack….

  • Should’ve said, “inconvenient.”

  • Dear “yourworstenemy,”
    “Why is her personal life decisions your concern? Directing someone’s life is not your job. Most people were taught in kindergarten to pay attention to your own business…” You just proved the conservative point of view! Stay out of our lives! The government needs to get out of our lives! Get out of our houses with the personal choices we make. Get out of our bank accounts with the money you take to pay for your abortions and contraceptives. Get out of our faces with all your rules and regulations! Get out of our health care insurance. Mind YOUR own business! If a woman wants an abortion, or condoms, or the Pill, or anything else, let her pay for it herself or with her boyfriend/husband’s help! It was their ‘choice’ to have sex (not counting rape or abuse), so let them ‘choose’ to pay for their own consequences!

  • Dear “YourWorstEnemy,”
    You’re logic is non-existant. If NO ONE is for abortion, then there wouldn’t be any. It wouldn’t exist. Period. If it’s all about ‘choice,’ then why can’t we choose to eat salt, sugar, soda, use baby formula in a New York City hospital, or choose whether we have health insurance or not? Why can’t employers choose to NOT pay for someone else’s contraceptives or abortions? That’s what the Dems want…to force us all into their rules of what they want. I don’t want to fund Planned Parenthood, or Sandra Fluke’s bedtime activities, or her ilk’s abortions with my tax money. I also want to choose my own lightbulbs, and the kind of toilet I want. But you liberals don’t want us to make any of OUR own choices, except to murder our offspring. Any what about the BABY’S choice to live? Why not just kill, I mean abort, your 2 year old when they become incontinent too?

  • ND has only a 5% state sales tax. We have low automobile insurance rates. We have lower medical insurance rates (comparing to MN, for example). Our property taxes are much lower than MN. Where do people think that the money for road repair, bridge repair, etc comes from? We live in a small town and have 2 lots with a house, a very large garage, and a big back yard. Our property taxes are under $300 annually. We have a small business in a different small town. We have 3 lots where our business is, and pay just over $300 annually in property taxes. What’s so horrible about that, considering one is residential, one is business, and all our other taxes/insurances are lower than many other states? Also, our housing costs are lower than other states (not counting the western part of the state where the oil boom is.)…. If the property taxes are eliminated, then they’ll just raise the sales tax, or tax something else anyway.

  • I’m a conservative who lives in ND. If the property tax is abolished, then the state government has to come up with money to dole out to all the local cities and schools who get their funding through property taxes. I voted to keep the property tax, because we’ve had oil booms before. The government lowered or eliminated taxes then too, and eventually the oil boom stopped. It could happen again, especially with liberals and progressives in office at the federal level. If the oil boom turns to a bust because of the EPA, or Obama, or for any other reason, we’d have to start all over with the taxes again, but at a higher rate. We have a surplus in the state right now, but that could be wiped out in a heartbeat. As long as they don’t RAISE the taxes, then I’m for keeping it the way it is, and again, I’m a conservative. Other states (at least Vermont) have banned fracking. If they (or Obama if he wins in Nov.) ban it here, it’ll wipe out 1/3 of our economy. We have oil/gas, coal, and farming. Obama’s against all 3 of those industries. He could wipe out this state’s whole economy with his EPA and all their regulations. The property tax is a little insurance for the local communities so they don’t have to get all their money from the state. We’re doing very well right now, but that could all end if conservatives don’t get the White House back.

  • Where else but California would they be stupid enough to try and regulate sugar like alcohol, while at the same time be fighting to legalize marijuana? Can anyone explain that to me?
