		<description><![CDATA[…a failure of our government to protect its citizens?
 
Our government passes laws that violate our constitution and reduce our freedoms as a matter of routine. The good senators have an excellent healthcare package, but many of their constituents do not and football is the topic that consumes them?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok everybody, I agree elected (speaking for you and I) officials have better things to do.

So, then, you&#039;re ok with the FBI getting involved? This was across state lines. FBI, this is your show now. People are going to P for Prison if the FBI gets involved. People are going to be publicly dismantled if the FBI gets involved. It was a crime across state lines.

Here is a little lesson in business: No business can ever break a law, in any way, shape or form. They can set higher standards for themselves, or attempt to set lower standards for themselves, but the law is always the bottom line and the law was broken with attempts to intentionally inflict injury. NFL Wavers don&#039;t cover that, and that&#039;s the only fighting chance the League or anyone really would have had in defending the perpetrators from the Law. Unfortunately for the perpetrators, it crossed state lines, and it was a crime.

So, do you want the Senate having pointless hearings where maybe one or two people will get in trouble and maybe owe some money or spend a little time locked up, or do you want the FBI getting involved and almost everyone involved goes to prison for a lot longer than a little bit?

The NFL protects it&#039;s players, even the criminal ones. Those players just crapped all over the NFL&#039;s attempts to protect them. Granted they&#039;ve apparently been doing it for a while, but doesn&#039;t change the fact.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What can be gained by Congressional intervention? Laws governing assault and criminal conspiracy are already on the books. If he chose to do so, Favre probably could pursue a criminal complaint under the current statutes. It doesn&#039;t seem likely that Congress can add anything, so why should they waste precious tax dollars interfering in something that&#039;s already been addressed--as it should be--by the Commissioner of the sport?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;2. Gas prices have risen so much because the supply of crude is controlled by a cartel called OPEC, and because a large amount of the world’s supply of oil comes from areas that aren’t the most stable places in the world&quot;

If you want to talk politics fine.  Gas prices have not risen because of this, they have risen because of Wall Street scumbag speculators.  We are currently net exporting gas and oil so the speculators can shorten supply here and drive the price up. You want to fix the gas price problem declare oil a protected resource that may not be speculated on and return it to a supply and demand system.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To the people that say this has nothing to do with our economic state, gas prices, unemployment:

It has everything to do with it! Jerks like Senator Dick are wasting time and energy on issues that have no relevance (sports) to the things that really matter, i.e, jobs, the economy, gas, etc.

Sports organizations can take care of themselves and Tyrant Goodell proves it each and every year.

 Senator Dick, please go find some other stupid ass cause to throw out to the media. 

Bottom Line
This is just a smoke screen to divert attention away from Obama&#039;s upcoming election anyway. But this is the one sport he shouldn&#039;t mess with. We&#039;re pretty passionate about our footbal Senator Dick.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Who was he declared a terrorist by? I am sorry if constitutional rights bother you. You can’t just kill American citizens with out a trial. Sorry if you don’t know your own rights.

This is from a vet and I spent two years in Afghanistan.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m sorry, but when you renounce your citizenship, our constitution no longer applies to you, doubly so when you&#039;re a leader of a terrorist organization.

Cry me a river.]]></description>

Oh Lord…. how about you call a hearing on the friggin gas prices rising every day instead!&lt;/i&gt;


Or, you know, how about they do something about the speculators not being forced to take delivery of oil shipments when they buy the contracts being the majority reason.

Also, let&#039;s tie the price of oil form OPEC to the price of food and other goods we sell to them.  When they wanna pay $120 for a bushel of corn, let&#039;s see who wins.]]></description>
