On 2 million lose jobless benefits as holidays arrive

EMAN/EZoner, I can tell you how much is enough. I've had 'enough' of both your sweeping judgments of people. Of course there are people that take advantage of the unemployment system, which is wrong. But you can't throw the baby out with the bath water. May I invite you both to get a life outside of the gazetteXtra opinion posts? You're obnoxiously insulting. My "bleeding heart" has served me well in life. I'm blissfully happy in my life. Your angry ways are so tiring. In fact, Eman...you're broke huh? I'd be happy to help you if you need food on your table. Send me a private message. Feels good knowing people are willing to help, doesn't it?

GOP, ARE YOU MISSING A COMPASSION CHIP? Are any of you out here who are opposed to extending unemployment benefits actually receiving unemployment benefits? GOP, you're mostly church goers, right? Then explain to me, is cutting off a small source of income (at Christmas time nonetheless) to those struggling, the "Christian" thing to do...all the while prioritizing the wealthy and their tax breaks? I'm grateful for my job, and not in a million years, no matter how much of my hard earned income goes to help the next guy, would I rip the rug out from underneath millions of Americans in this way. GOP - ever heard of karma????? May your selfishness on this issue be offset by some miraculous act of kindness.

JCena, so....the other 20+ years in service become irrelevant? This is a man who wants to do good by you. Give him a chance to take office, please. If Knox didn't want to mix words, he should've INFORMED HIMSELF, realized Mr. Cullen is a TWO TIME cancer survivor, and used a more intelligent choice of words. I also hope he didn't mean what the majority of us here believe.
thekid3477 - you've still got a champion in Tim Cullen, hang in there. I'm with you on this issue, and I'm (obviously) behind Cullen. :)

gross Steve...your statement is distatestful, unintelligent and mean spirited. I can't imagine Rick Richards is even proud of this blog. I too hope that you're told to retract, apologize and resign. I'd love to call your boss, but you know what? The Senator Elect wouldn't approve...because he's an incredible man who believes you have the right to say these things, which you do. But that doesn't make it right. So...perhaps you could learn a thing or two from Senator Elect Cullen. Sit back and watch how wrong you are, over the next 4.....or maybe even, 8, 12 and 16 years. He was the better candidate, period.

Tim Cullen has been hard on the campaign trail, he doesn't take a single vote for granted and believes strongly in this district. Perhaps you'd hear more on their positions if their debates were covered in the Gazette, but unfortunately, your reporters leave prior to the debate being concluded. We heard about the Sheriff and the Clerk of Courts in todays paper, but no mention of the State Senate debate because the reporters left early. that's too bad.

i like songs that allow me to ge lost in the lyrics, ie: take my mind off the run by getting into my head. so for me it's a lot of Dave Matthews/Band, but beyond them, it's more songs rather than bands. 'home' edward sharpe, 'fearless' pink floyd, '99 problems' jay-z, 'mr. brightside' the killers, 'these girls' ryan adams, 'testify' rage against the machine, 'bittersweet symphony' the verve, 'better way' and 'faded' by ben harper, 'the story' bradie carlile etc. songs that make me feel cool...because i'm not. :)

noleftist: you're right. the same argument applies, none of our business. as long as all parties are willing participants, shouldn't be prohibited either. in fact, you'd be really progressive (gasp!) if one or two of your marriage partners are men!

look homophobes...you probably think you're right. you probably think you're defending the bible. But the majority of us know that's a joke, and the joke is on you! they're here, they're queer, get OVER it! quit trying to take basic human rights away from people and call it "defending the bible". do you seriously have the guts to claim moral high ground on ANYONE? sexual deviance? they are regular old people, nothin more special or dirty about them than you or me. Were you also one of those people that thought bi-racial couples shouldn't marry? step outside these blogs once in a while and recognize there is a whole world out there full of different kinds of folks. God created us that way.

seriously? i'm shocked that there could possibly be opposition to this. words can be super hurtful, especially when you're a kid who doesn't have the maturity yet to recognize that there are simply cruel kids out there that are likely not getting enough love or attention...so they act out. if this prevents one kid from picking on another, job well done. look at the increase in kids killing themselves over cyber bullying. if it were your kid, you'd welcome any solution, no matter how small. and by the way... Officer "friendly" this is a compassion issue, not a political one...not everything is about left vs right.

what an inspirational speech given by a true leader last night. President Obama's message lifted us up, didn't point fingers and left me feeling hopeful again for maturity and forgiveness in our american future. i'm encouraged today. as the mom of a 2 year old little girl, i hope we can change the anger that surrounds politics so she's able to grow up in a better world. lets keep the momentum going people! there will always be people that like to be provocative, but please, in honor of those lost, do everything you can to ignore them. without attention, eventually they'll just fade away.
