WILL OBAMA RETURN $994,795 IN GOLDMAN SACHS CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS?

No, why should he? Not every employee of Goldman Sachs was involved in illegal behavior. Not even a lot of them.
Give me a break.

This is off topic, Heck, but what is your feeling about - let's say - Blackwater. Do you believe every employee is/was a criminal? A lot of them?

No. Who thinks every employee of Blackwater is/was a criminal? That's not really where the debate about Blackwater/military contractors is, is it? Or the Halliburton debate, for that matter.
Someone in our family was a former Marine and Blackwater employee who was killed in Iraq protecting a government official. (The official lived.)
Again, have the debate with the cartoon Cindy Sheehan version in your head if you must, but at some point you have to take that head out of your ass.

Sorry for your loss, Heck.

I'm not trying to pull that card on you, John. I'm just saying - these discussions aren't very enlightening. I spend 75% of the time correcting misinformation and the other 25% in some mostly irrelevant fringe discussion that is a long way from being important.

Of course that's limited to nitpicking the opposition.
We don't often see you calling out your own bedfellows.

You didn't play any card, Heck. Not even a whiff of that perceived by me, any way.
PS After going to Barnes Nobel and just happening to be in Raven Bookstore in Northampton, MA Sunday night, I finally found a copy of 'Common Ground' in no other place than our public library. Hefty book. Looks like a hefty content, too.

And 99% of the time we are correcting your talking points. with facts and not opinion.

Heck's bogus 75% corrections is 75% trying to diminish any differing viewpoint or fact that doesn't
fit with his bigoted politicism.
Of course, part of that is accusing others of bigoted politicism.
Kinda Soviet Unionish in the old days, to me.

I know. But personal experience shouldn't be the only barometer here. If you can't imagine or don't think about what other people go through without having someone you know personally involved, you're always going to have your head up your ass.
The book is great. You'll blow through it, don't worry.

I don't know if I asked this before.
Where do say for instance, Ron Paul's money go when he doesn't win? I mean that dude made a shit load of money and didn't spend much at all.

He'll keep it. Kept it last time.

Sort of bullshit if you ask me. At the least he should throw a huge bash at Cleveland Stadium.
-
The flip side is that people get upset when they give you money, then you turn around and give it to someone else, someone who they potentially don't support.
This way, Ron Paul uses it for Ron Paul's campaign, and then the ones after that as well.

Yes.
I go through a shitload of audiobooks and Audible is great.
iPod or any MP3 player, or smartphone will work.
They have a list of devices on the site.
The books are like 9 or so bucks each if you buy one of the memberships.
That just means you pre pay for a number of books.
Mine gives you 24 a year.
