"Sad thing is that the liberals just can't see the writing on the wall"...no, you are quite wrong...they see EXACTLY what they are doing, and they are doing it quite intentionally...they simply want to destroy capitalism so that everyone is equal (where are you, Karl Marx?), and then everyone is dependent on the gov't except the big wigs... Complain how you want about Republicans, and they certainly aren't perfect, but almost always better than Democrats... Democrats always appeal to minority interest groups, promising them something over some other group, and always making someone else pay for what they get...unions, racial minorities, gays, radical feminists, Man-Boy love groups, blaming Society (or guns) for crime instead of the person who commits it, etc.whatever they get will come out of my hide, whether a loss of my money or my rights... Republicans try to lower tax rates (which, BTW, helps everybody, whether self employes, unionized, gay or straight, or whatever...there is no discrimination whan tax rates are reduced), lower capital gains rates (again, any union member selling stock or a home with cap gains will net more money from a Repub admininstration as there is no discrimination on any basis), less gun control (so inner city folks can defend what little they have), make the CRIMINAL responsible for his crime, not "Society at large"... Even union folks (yes, even UAW idiot cretins) do better under a Repub, except that their striking is frowned upon...considering what their strikes have done to American industry, maybe frowning was a good idea... How do lower income tax rates discriminate aginst anybody who is not a Republican???...how do lower cap gain tax rates discriminate against anybody not a Republican??? So, why does the UAW/union vote and the black vote always go to the party that does nothing for either one??? The liberal promise everything and let them see what they get... (Parenthetically, I wish GW never created "No Child" or Medicare Part D, or spent like a Interesting that, aside from Iraq, everything has been run by Democrats since 2006 election...why is it all Bush's problems when they had 2 years to "correct" all he did wrong??? Are Unions/UAW really THAT stupid to see that??? |

They act high and mighty only to be caught coveting thy neighbors wife. What a pathetic toe tapping bunch of losers. One could only guess what these log cabin republicans were doing with the Lincoln logs. Duh, and one wonders who most helped the Messiah get elected? |

No one is going to change anyone's mind on politics in here, so maybe we can at least tell amusing stories related to the topic? Like the time your uncle at the FOMOCO plant put a live turtle in a door panel. Or another one of those urban legends. Thanks.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jul 19, 2009 1:21 pm) And what does that have to do with the crazy UAW members that have been on strike against Bell Helicopters for a month? Or Union contractors being forced out of business by over taxation by Democrats in the state and Federal Governments. That is deflecting from the issues being discussed. Yes CA went from a $38 billion surplus to a deficit under a Democrat Gray Davis and a Democrat controlled Legislature. Putting Ahnold in did not help with the same bunch of tax and spenders in the legislature. It did not help that the state has so many Union employees on its payroll they cannot afford to keep going as they are. The Unions in CA are not the only reason the state is in trouble. They do play a significant role in our demise. You think the auto industry will have an impact when it dies. Hide and watch as the states go bankrupt. Starting with Democrat controlled states like CA and NY. |

I heard about this one. I took a step in to Mexico a few months ago seeking lower cost dental treatment. Never been to Mexico before. Turns out the Mexican dentist I chose has two dental offices, the one I went in to was pretty high-tech, complete with a beautiful waterfall inside, and a grand walkup entrance. When I saw my price-list to get my mouth back closer-to-fine, I almost ran back to the other side of the border, Douglas, AZ! I eventually bit the bullet and just got finished up with my treatments, long story short, I paid about $2,500 more in Tucson. But somehow I just feel "safer" with the treatment I got in America. This picture is funny, but, living as I do in the SE Arizona desert, I see the poverty and the tough times. And in Agua Prieta(where I went to the dentist), Sonora, it is impoverished overall. They do love bright colors on their businesses, though, trust me on that one! I wonder if GM is going to pursue car building south of the border still. Didn't Fritz Henderson poo-poo that idea? I mean, no overly-paid, lazy UAW workers in GM's Mexican operations, eh? rocky, how is your job search going? My offer of work for Wackenhut Security is still on, rockford fosgate. Do you still want to take over BO's job and become the President of the U.S.? |
