On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
Is there really such a thing as bipartisanship in Washington?
Jack the answer is easy, No. What we have in Washington is a two-party monster fed by corporate greed, hidden agendas, and special interests.
Tom, Benton, WisconsinI have not seen much in the last 6 years. But perhaps now that the Republicans have to share some power. I think we will see some.
John, Minnesota
Yes. Both parties agree that they should find ways to screw the middle class of America and the poor, so the rich can get richer.
Ted, Boerne, TexasBipartisanship does not exist in Washington. Everyone is out to line their own pockets. The people in Congress have forgotten they work for the American people and not big business.
James, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina
Should the United States provide nuclear fuel and technology to India?
Sure, might as well destabilize all of Asia. And we get some nifty mangoes out of the deal!
Harold and Myrtle, Anchorage, Alaska
Why not? That way in about 5 years a new government will control India, and they can sell the technology to Osama Bin Laden or use the technology to make their own nuclear bombs. Then we will have to deal with another Iran and North Korea which will just add to the world's problems.
Kirk, Metter, GeorgiaDo we have enough fuel and nuclear energy of our own? I think not.
Thomas, New York
I find this deal unconscionable. The only thing this deal does is allow India to build 5 times more nuclear weapons than before.
Glenn, Haymarket, VirginiaMangoes? Oh no. What can we do to stop the Iranians and North Koreans from getting them?
Daniel Stair, North Bonneville, WashingtonWhy haven't we heard anything from the House Ethics Committee about the Foley investigation?
Jack, we haven't heard because they don't want us to hear. What I smell is another example of misguided loyalty and cover-up. The people have a right to know.
John, Baltimore, Maryland
Ssssshhhhhhhhh! We're supposed to forget ethics issues in Washington. After all, if one representative gets caught, it leaves us to ponder how many haven't been caught yet? Remember, we're just the American public, and we have no say in the matter.
Brian, Pembroke, Virginia
We haven't heard anything about Foley from the Ethics Committee because they find other things to do that have no bearing on the issue. Typical of our government committees. Do nothing, collect big paychecks.
Mary, Columbus, OhioJack, What do you expect to hear? It's like asking the fox how the chickens are doing. What happens in the House Ethics Committee stays in the House Ethics Committee.
John, Marlton, New Jersey
