I think Limbaugh is another fraud, pandering to the basest of human emotion. Racism, sexism, xenophobia . . . fostering fear of intellectual discovery.

I, for one, don't find Limbaugh a fraud, ect. He speaks a lot of sense if only ppl are open enough to hear what he has to say. I don't agree with everything he has to say but am not writing him off .

I don't pander to all of his politics but most of what he says does make sense, then again, to each his own. The new findings on global warming, (or the lack of) for one.

We haven't had a worthwhile leader in this country in a while, but to me Obama is much better than the torture supporting, control the American people at all cost (mostly through fear of terrorism) administration that preceded it. I would love to see a third party candidate win the presidency, but the question would then be, who really controls that particular party, and thus the candidate? The people, or those who pay the bills? As long as money is a determining factor in who wins an election I doubt there will be any significant change. Now, if a system could be devised where the Government provided the funds to any viable candidate, and they all received the same amount, then I think special interest groups would have less of a say. That would be better in my book.

I also would love to see a third party in power and you theory makes a lot of sense. I agree.

to question president bush about anything was tantamount to treason. yet it is seen as perfectly fine, patriotic even, to state that president obama doesn't care what happens to the United States. that there are things going on behind the scenes doesn't even occur to people, but there are. unlike an earthquake where it is cut and dried an act of nature.

as long as the parties keep us squabbling amongst ourselves nothing is going to change. i am sick of liberal being a dirty word. i am tired of snide remarks being made whenever one tries to debate anything political. i am sick of hearing ranting know-it-alls on talk radio with absolutely no credentials being touted as geniuses just because they fit in with someone's already predisposed ideology; it doesn't matter if it's the truth: if they say it it becomes the truth. i am sick to death of being told i am afraid of sarah palin because she is representative of 'the common person'…i am scared of sarah palin because she is ignorant and apparently sees no need to change. no more, no less. and for some reason, ignorance is now equated with being something to be attained rather than overcome. jmho.

I didn't vote for Obama, nor did I for the dopes on the other side. What I know for certain is you have no idea what the sitting president thinks about this country. What I am certain of is that a country, a people in our hemisphere need our help, and I will do whatever I need to help, regardless of what some dimwit radio host opines.

It was a mere suggestion, or reaching out to the people anyway. I've seen many pres do this in times of need, nothing new.

I still have free will and will continue to give as I see fit.

The simple point was try to help or give to Haiti.

Give help please.

I did the night it happened, mercy corps my fav help site to donate.

Oprah should give Robertson a hug. Her hugs are magical, maybe it would help humanize him.

Did wonders for Tom Cruise. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

What frustrates me is that people think this is about politics. It isn't, and it shouldn't be made to be about politics. It is about human beings experiencing devastation. I live in a community that was struck by a natural disaster. It was horrible. I saw the people deal with it first hand. I worked with those people for 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week for six weeks. I went home every night and cried at their pain. I had them in my home, where I gave them what they needed because I had everything and they lost everything. My children and husband worked by my side whenever they could. When I ventured out into the real world, it was hard to believe that there was a real world outside of the devastation and just a few miles away, life was going on as normal.

I saw politicians come into the help center and ignore the hurting people in order to make speeches on television. They didn't care about the hurting people. They cared about their political agendas and their images. I saw both democrats and republicans do this – just come in and act like they were campaigning – never taking a moment to meet these aching and wounded souls on a personal level.

I saw churches do the same. They came in and didn't help in any way that provided aid. They came in and preached and handed out pamphlets about turning to God during difficult times. Like the politicians, they got in the way of the work that we were trying to do on a person to person basis to help these people. We had to work around them. It wasn't just one church. It was many.

There was one church – ONE – that came in droves and did the person to person help that needed to be done. They worked their butts off beside me and the other volunteers. They didn't preach or talk about God. They only lived their message by being compassionate, caring and hard working. It was the LDS church (mormon). I have tremendous respect for the members of that church. Thousands of them got on buses in Salt Lake City as soon as they heard about the floods and drove all night to get here. And then they helped without preaching. They offered compassion without invoking God's name.

Compassion and help came from individuals – not entities. People who could ill afford it sent money and supplies. The outpouring of help and support was astounding – all from individuals who found caring and compassion inside of themselves because they realized people were hurting. That is the call that I answer in disaster – not the call of religion and not the call of politicians.

So to make disaster into a political or religious agenda – I know all about it and it sucks because I saw it first hand, and it completely lacked humanity, humility, compassion and love.

Thank you, I feel the same!
