- Again, I have to ask what so many of you have been asking, who did he give this poor baby to and why would you call it kidnapping if the mother was the one who told him to do this, I think murder should be the charge for all involved and the death penalty should be the outcome of any trail.

Comments & Feedback

I apologize for my comment. I wasn't paying strict attention. I'm at work and trying to balance many issues at one time.

I DO BELIEVE THAT ALL MONEY NEEDS TO BE RETURNED TO ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS, THE TAXPAYERS. I am so very angry that there is so much greed in our country when we have people struggling to make ends meet. Mr. Holloman, you're right on. Because the poll recognizes my IP address, it will not let me change my vote.

Are you on banks and/or politicians' payroll? Do you enjoy being taxed to pay for others to play?

Hi, Marty. We seem to be simpatico. Would you like to correspond? I'm 50 ish, and like where you're coming from. You think, unlike most on the post.

It is amazing to me that so many of you are so misinformed. First of all if they are building the wong car why are they selling more than 50% of all vehicles, why does GM have more cars over 30MPG than any other two manafacutrers and most of how could Bankruptcy be of any value.
If those of you that support the Big Three going away and if that does happen you had better hope you are right because if not this country is in for a lot of tough times that we might never recover from.
Merry Christmas to all.
