You seem to think ebola hasn’t killed anybody important unless they were Americans.

Now I understand your statement and unconcern.

If you insisted that everyone who voted for or endorsed a Republican was a Republican, then the majority of the people in America are now Republicans and two years ago they were Democrats.

If you accept that sometimes people vote for a person who is a Republican and sometimes they vote for a person who is a Democrat, you might be forced to accept that Americans are an independent bunch, doing as we see fit.

Not unlike the nurse who knew she didn’t fit the criteria for a person who needed to be quarantined.

You got me. I plead the 5th 75 times to keep from self incriminating myself in fraud of the American government.

@MB – Re: Reagan the “flip-flopper”

Even as a Democrat, Reagan endorsed Republican presidential candidates in ‘52, ‘56 and ‘60 – well before officially becoming a Republican in ‘62, well before he ever ran for his first political office in ‘65, well before he sought Republican presidential nominations in ‘68, ‘76 and ‘80 and well before he was elected president in ‘80. Arguably, the man was a Republican for almost 30 years before he was elected President. He may have flipped – but he certainly didn’t flop by the time this Democrat ever got a chance to vote FOR him in his ‘84 reelection.

In contrast, Charlie “The Chameleon” Crist went from Republican to Independent to Democrat in under 4 years. In other words, a flipity-flip-flop. I might consider him to be credible as a Democrat if he can manage to remain one for half as long as Reagan was a Republican. That doesn’t mean I’d vote for him – it just means I might consider him to be credible. He hasn’t been Green, yet so who knows? Regardless of his changing-colors, his actions have made him quite transparent for he has proven that he’ll be anything to try to get your vote.

I don’t think you can compare the United States to West Africa. Is it ONE US citizen that has did from it??? There are several things that are much more a threat than ebola like bee stings, being kicked by a horse, accidentally shoot yourself, etc…

We do need to be prepared for the arrival of people who have been in those geographic areas, but if you look at the New Jersey nurse who refused to be quarantined, it brings about an interesting quandry.

Florida gator football players have killed more than 5,000 people?
Me not think so.

That is about how many ebola killed in one country in this latest outbreak and is still killing. It kills most who contract it.

It isn’t particularly contagious, but is bad when it bites.

I’m not faulting President Obama for fearing it or for not taking extraordinary measures to keep it from infecting us and killing us, but if he is wrong, it would be very bad.

Ebola? More peoe have been killed by Florida Gator football players than Ebola. You are grasping at straws. Let’s talk about the economy. Again, compare the last republican and democratic presidents and get back to me.

During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks. We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

It’s worth noting that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn’t build a web site. (Copied from another commenter)

@ MB… Why is Obama so unpopular? Well, that 6% unemployment number is a fantasy. It’s likely closer to 11% with all the people who’ve simply given up looking for a job. Maybe people blame Obama for not putting this nation first and bringing ebola infected people from foreign lands. Maybe they’re un-happy that this administration uses the IRS to target groups with whom he disagrees. Could it be that he’s jumped into the middle of 3 racially charged cases and caused division rather than unity? Some are still wondering why an U.S. Ambassador was left swinging in the wind and was murdered after begging for help. Many more are frustrated with his inaction at our Southern Border with narco terrorists and disease carrying people enter the nation un-checked. But you probably knew all that and thought it was fine.
