Nancy P and her bunch are all throwing a major hissy fit because the pres tried to make a compromise and get the tax cuts to hold and unemployment passed. I wish I could slap some sense in all of them. No wonder our country is such a mess. Rangle just used the F word relating to the pres. :eek::eek:

Grab the popcorn and watch the left eat itself....over raising taxes on the people who create REAL jobs of all things. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Gee... Who saw this coming? ;)

I will give you one thing though.... Cutting tax rates, but not spending, is insane. Thus what we have now. So I am not really defending Bush here.... FYI. Basically, the people know how to spend our money better than .gov.
Hooray for class warfare!!!!!Quote:

So, I should "give back" to my employees because their labor enriches me? Isn't that what their salary, health care plan, bonus, expense checks, etc is???
Tell me, where does it end? Stop the whining about being "poor". Instead, use the freedom you have and go get it. Or not. No big deal, really.
Or, in other words.... Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
History, in a huge way, disagrees with you. If "bottom up", or Kenesyian economics worked.... What gives? Bush did it.... Obama did it.... Look where we are.Quote:

You and i will never see eye to eye. But do not for a second ever assume i do not take care of the people who share my success.
Its the difference between belief in the success of the individual benefitting society (me) more than using class warfare (taxes. A position you seem to support) to take money i earned and give it to those who did not.
Do not take his to seem as i am cold or motivated merely by profit. Your next responce is a sophmoric example. Its the difference between giving a fish and teaching HOW to fish. Freedom does not mean " a chicken in every pot. ".

Did you miss the part about how well we share our success with our team?
Or are you implying my lack of support for welfare is motivated by greed?

Bury your head in the socialist nirvana idea all you want. History is on Liberty's side. Its NOT selfish for an individual to keep what they earn. Because then that individual spends it and thus other individuals benefit. Or, we can try it your way. Never let anyone fail. Print all the 'money' we need to ensure that everybody 'has a chance'. Then, the bills come due and no one wants your fake money any more.
Like I said before.... I believe in the power of individual liberty. The freedom of the individual to chase their happiness. You seem to value the 'liberty' of the collective. Which is not really liberty at all.... Especially when what you want is not congruent with the current 'group think'.
Maybe now he'll accept the fact that he lost the election. It's over Joe,
go home.:rolleyes:

I'll ask liz another question, is this how you want elections run?

So you are sticking your nose in business that doesn't concern you? What should bother you is the improprieties that have happened here could happen there and that should bother you. Im guessing it doesn't bother you because Miller is a conservative and Lisa is now beholden to private interests that reflect your ideology.Quote:

The law was broken during the counting of write in ballots, what more do you need? [ETA]To answer my own question, you need a whole lot more because you dont see breaking the law as a "Big Deal".[/ETA] There are also allegations of electioneering and voter fraud that need to be investigated to there conclusions.Quote:

Im comfortable that Lisa Murkowski won the election. It just needs to be done and certified legally and as it sits now it wont be and Im not comfortable with that.

Which is why the law was written the way it was. To make it difficult to run a write in campaign. That is the law Joe Miller is trying to have enforced. The same law Lisa Murkowski is trying to circumvent to retain Alaska's seat as our senator. By "our" I obviously mean Alaskans and not you, me, and Liz.Quote:

I will say again that Lisa Murkowski won the election, but it needs to be certified according to the local election laws. Not by what the left is trying to do, if they succeed we will never have another free and fair election in this state and that should concern all of you.
That is not what I said.Quote:

I even voted for Lisa Murkowski before. Can anybody else here legally say that?
No.Quote:

Air Force selects potential base for Royal Saudi Air Force F-15 Training Unit
WASHINGTON – The Air Force announced today Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, as its preferred alternative to potentially host a Royal Saudi Air Force F-15SA maintenance and flying training unit in the United States.
Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley and Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz validated Mountain Home AFB as the most suitable location for the proposed contingent of 12 F-15SA aircraft after a request by the Saudis to locate the potential mission at the base.
“Saudi Arabia is a valuable long-term U.S. partner in the Gulf. Facilitating the modernization of Royal Saudi Air Force aircraft, as well as providing enhanced aircrew and maintenance training, would build partner capacity and contribute to stability in the region,” said Heidi Grant, deputy under secretary of the Air Force for international affairs. “Our thorough analysis has led us to select Mountain Home AFB as the preferred alternative to potentially host our Saudi partners and to build both their capacity and interoperability with the U.S. Air Force.”
Air Force officials determined that Mountain Home AFB is the preferred alternative for the RSAF training mission primarily due to its co-location with F-15E units, its suitable weather and desert environment, and its availability of airspace and infrastructure to support an F-15SA training squadron. The initial commitment proposed by the RSAF is a five-year presence at the base from 2014 through 2019. A commitment beyond this five-year period is possible.
Potential basing is contingent upon an environmental impact analysis process as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, and officials are discussing this potential basing decision with the local community, including the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes.
The proposed training squadron would receive its first four aircraft in early to mid-2014, with the remaining eight aircraft delivered by the end of 2014. The aircraft would facilitate primary aircrew and flight instructor training as well as maintenance training.
The squadron would eventually grow to an estimated 150 to 250 RSAF personnel, including approximately 50 aircrew and 100 to 200 maintenance personnel. The number of unaccompanied versus accompanied personnel and permanent party versus temporary students has yet to be determined.
The U.S. Air Force will conduct an initial site survey in December and initiate an environmental impact analysis process in early 2011, which will provide opportunities for public comment, in preparation for the possible basing arrangement.
That is BS and you know it.Quote:

Part The Article..........
"Miller's attorneys had asked Carey to strictly enforce a state law calling for write-in ballots to have the oval filled in, and either the candidate's last name or the name as it appears on the declaration of candidacy written in.
Miller argued the state shouldn't have used discretion in determining voter intent when tallying ballots for Murkowski. The state relied on case law in doing so and allowed for ballots with misspellings to be counted toward Murkowski's total."
So what is illegal about that ????
INTENT should be taken into account, not spelling errors.
Good God !!!! Everyone is entitled to vote for who they want, whether they can write properly or not. Thank goodness someone has woken up to this in the past, and a bit of judicial activism has overturned an obviously very stoopid law.
