The race is on: It’s Open Comment Time!
Special to the Post-Dispatch
It’s Sunday — and a stormy one at that. And you’re probably already tired of watching the Indy cars go around and around for 99 laps (I’m from Indiana and long held Indy 500 tickets, so I’m allowed to say that).
So…get ready to partake of our weekly Open Comment Line here at Political Fix.
What’s on your mind? What pols, events or topics are driving you crazy? What have we failed to cover? What facts do we need to know?
Just remember the rules: Local, local, local (that includes a local take on a national matter). Civil, civil, civil. And please keep your comments somewhat concise.
Ladies and gents, start your engines!
The green flag is down!
Centrist,
McCain’s bill would cost $38 billion over 10 years compared to $52 billion over 10 years under the Webb bill. McCain cares more about saving money than supporting the troops.

“You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception…” – John McCain 03/07
Noticed a new parking garage under construction at Clark and Tucker, sponsored by the St Louis Treasurer, Larry Williams. Three years ago when I visited St. Louis, that parcel of ground was a deteriorated parking LOT. Now it appears to on its way to becoming one of the more attractive buildings in the area. Congratulations to Mr. Williams and to everyone else who made it happen.
Trying to navigate the new stl. site from the [interact] tool bar to the popular blogs reminds me of the game “Operation” I played when I was 9 years old…Sometimes I win.
John McBush recently stated “our economy is doing well.” Let’s be honest Senator, we’re nolonger the richest nation, in fact, we’re the world’s biggest debtor nation, owing more than $9 trillion. The dollar value has plummeted, roads and bridges built a half century ago are crumbling, and we’re sending tens of billions in oil revenues every year to nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela. The Iraq fiasco continues to cost our society $12 billion a month…War profiteers go unchecked, while our children lose their healthcare.
Four hundred years ago, Francis Bacon advised the King of Englans to tell the truth, even if painful…We need leaders willing to tell us the truth. That we’ve gotten ourselves into a horrible economic mess and it’s going to take hard work and sacrifice to fix it…
We don’t need four more years of deception and malfeasance.
