Yet somehow millions of polygamists are receiving benefits from the government and have been for years; you know, the men with 20 wives and 120 children with all the wives being declared single mothers with children collecting food stamps, WIC, welfare, free medical care, housing vouchers, SSI disablity due to extreme inbreeding causing both mental and physical deformities. So, they continue to receive benefits from the government and have been for years. They're also breaking the law.

Are lawmakers doing something about the issue of polygamy, which to the best of my understanding, is illegal in the U.S.? Seems to me that their religious freedom and lifestyle is costing taxpayers billions of dollars a year. In fact, the sucking the government dry is working so well that they've labeled it the "Bleeding the Beast" campaign. I think that I have more problems with these home-grown money suckers than all of the millions of non-U.S. citizens combined. This is not to say that I support illegal immigration. Who does? Of course, being here illegally is wrong, that's why it is illegal. Yet, polygamy is illegal too. Let's hear the war drums on that one too.

Sorry ... but the viewpoints of right-wingers are essentially irrelevant.

The 2008 election has spoken!

You may now continue reading your CNS news.

That I will do for sure! Only fools and fools only would actually believe the crap CNN or even Fox feeds us! Wake up and use your brain! Do your own research, stop being lazy and relying on what you hear & see on TV! You will learn very soon! Again! The Dems will fail as always!

I am a liberal and I disagree with this incomplete health insurance, not care, plan. I wand a completely socialized plan where excellent health care is available to all and paid for by an all inclusive highly progressive income tax applied to all incomes from all sources above $150,000.
