    I guess bold means business. I have said that economy is still an issue but to believe the problem started in 2008 is moronic.

    More like 2006 when the Democrats took control of the houses?

    I know you truly don't believe that. The decline of manufacturing due to outsourcing and a disposable consumer policy began long before 2006.

  • okay........waiting....

    for Tour's mexican hat dance to defend obamao on that one....

    In other words your position is that conducting an unnecessary war "off the books" and on a credit card was completely responsible?

    Cheney did famously said at the time, "Deficits don't matter"...

  • you mean going after terrorists after 9/11?

    yes, you sound like a clone of Chamberlain. It's typical lib nonsense, you still bitch about

    Bush and Cheney, and won't criticize

    all the obamao crap that has been going on for eight years.

    Bush kept us safe after 9/11.

    Obamao is putting us all in serious danger overseas, and here.

    Seriously, do you even have any idea how huge our defitict is NOW???

    Have a nice day in liberal bass ackwards, ostrich head in the sand land.

    One of the left's favorite tactics is trying to coincide everything good or bad with the ousting or electing of a Democratic president. Thought I'd use your own hook.

    You take out the husseins and their large factory warehouses of weapons,

    You quite literally seem to have a close friend involved in every situation that involves anything ever in the existence of Earth.

  • I guess educators do not teach the concept of "T.I.N.S.T.A.A.F.L." in high school anymore.

    I'm actually a Republican but don't believe in religiously governing our country or simply blaming a person, or generalized population, for our issues.

    They had WMDs and I don't need proof I'll wave my flag in your face. Oh wait just googled the War in Iraq. We were spreading democracy you jerk, oh wait shit, Fox News just said if Hillary wins democracy is dead. We invaded Iraq because W forgot how to spell Iran.

    In the manner that Joe Scarborough and Colin Powell are Republicans and Michael Moore is an NRA member?

    Look we were going back and forth about when the big crash came about looking to blame it on Bush. I said bubbles burst. I don't recall seriously pinning something on that Phantom group of people you are worried about. But when the game of hot potato is over the finger-pointing begins.

    Just curious you voted for John McCain and Mitt Romney?

    With how much time you devote to the garden and posting/responding to threads here - I can't see those friendships receiving much time.

  • One saying I heard someone say once that stuck with me was if you want to be successful watch what successful people do and copy that. Not bad advice for about anything really. I also like the saying history is many times our best teacher and those who don't learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.

    So why not take that common sense approach and apply that to our economy? What has always worked to stimulate the economy and promote growth? Lower taxes and less government regulations. So the democrats take the exact opposite approach of higher taxes and more and more government regulations which are all job killers and stunt economic growth.

    Ireland has went from one of the poorer nations in Europe to one of the more prosperous in a short time by changing their tax codes and giving incentives for business to relocate and that is exactly what happened. It is frustrating to see the anemic economy we have that is chained down by high taxes and government regulations of our own making.

    Not an unfair point, except having been a corporate programmer/analyst and a consultant

    the last few years... I still type very fast. It doesn't take me much time at all, unless

    I'm tired and I make typoes and have to correct them.

    right now, I am so sore in my legs it's tough to walk - I overdid, gleefully using my new knee like I really

    never did before. Feels like I sprained my thigh and my groin, hurts like hell, and we still babysit, work on the flip

    house, I took the old no good hay bales and made a "high walk" across the bog that floods

    across the old gas line road throught the woods, made elephant ears with a great recipe, went to a

    farmer's market, the gals bought a great used van for their house flipping business and I drove it home

    because the very respectable auction company didn't know another replacement title was out there and

    not voided so they couldn't get license, I pulled some weeds from around the strawberry plants, made scones

    (what's the deal on these things? like sugar cookies with very little sugar). The elephant ears were excellent.

    And watched the Browns. Went grocery shopping with the Wife, went to the dentist because apparently

    I fell at a friends house, off their granite stairs and broke a tooth, so I have to go get it fixed in the morning,

    I was having severe flashes of nerve pain on the outside of my new knee - usually when I drove,

    or sat at the computer chair. For a couple of months, when they happened, I couldn't drive and had

    to pull over. Went to the chiropractor, and she worked on outside muscles above and below my

    knee and voila ! no more nerve spasms !

    And I still try to read, especially while my Wife watches so much olympics...

    and any time we can get together with friends, we do that, too. Had the Father-in-law from Texas

    visiting, and a friend from N.C. also, ...anyways, I overdid it and I think I'm going to go jacuzzi for a while.

    We keep busy, it's fun. I type fast, that's all, when I get a chance to get on, sometimes in the early morning hours.

  • Maybe it's because you type so fast that you don't actually engage your brain while typing.
