Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Nope...the money I saved on taxes went directly into the economy thru spending for house-hold items and materials purchased over the past few years for remodeling the home I live in.

1 person does not make it so for the nation.

I bet the rest of Grand Rapids or Michigan for that matter, isn't so fortunate.

You sit for hours and hours a day, listening to right wing talkers that sucker you into voting against your own interest year after year. This is evidenced by the blind support of GWB all the way across these threads, despite this administration having done nothing for the middle class in the last 8 years. Nothing. You've lost more personal wealth in the last 8 years than you ever have in your life, and you know it...yet you continue to play cheerleader for this dangerous administration.

I look across this forum and something becomes abundantly clear. Most posters don't really know which issues immediately important to them and their family. Discussions about "wedge" issues fill page after page while topics like healthcare, the economy, and the burgeoning debt get very little attention. Why is that? Because the latter issues require research while "wedge" issues, by design, force you to vote with emotion. Sure...the GOP will let you keep God and guns, but while you're oiling down ol' betsy, they're funneling money straight out of your bank account, and shoving it straight into the pockets of the people who need it the least.

Taking an example from a friend of mine, I'll prove this to you...

The economic stimulus package? $140 billion, right? Multiply that $300 rebate check by 80 million taxpayers, and see what you come up with. Thats $24 billion, correct? Wheres the other $116 billion going?

I can tell you where its going anytime you like, but it would benefit America more if you looked it up for yourself.


You could NEVER been more wrong here. I am NOT (nor have I ever been) a "blind follower" of GWB. Most of my time in these political forums is spent dispelling the BLATENT LIES and INANE ALLEGATIONS that are spouted by some of the members here; particularly about Bush's DWI 37 years ago, his ALLEGED use of Cocaine, how he "lied us into war" and the wholly stupid theory that Bush was somehow responsible for 9-11. If you read back FAR ENOUGH, you will see that I have been CLEAR that I think GWB has been wrong on a lot of things....except the war.
But no one seems to care about the other stuff, they only read and remember what they want.
You ARE wrong about ANYONE "losing more personal wealth" during the past 8 years. Personal wealth has grown. The same people who were poor 25 years ago have MORE money now, at least the ones who made smart decisions for themselves, like getting an education. Those who didn't; well it surely isn't MY responsibility to support them thru higher taxes, which is surely what will happen IF/WHEN a democrat is elected to President.


I have NOT responded to any question about the "Stimulus Package", because while I don't think it a good idea, I don't know enough about economics to form a fully informed opinion, and I am sure most of the people on this forum are just as ignorant about the total economic picture as I am. But it is foolhardy to think that the democrats would be any better fiscally and I have been clear throughout this forum that GWB (AND the democrats) are DEAD-WRONG on immigration and I have also been clear that I believe they have ALL been spending us into oblivion, it is just that I believe the democrats will do it much faster than the republicans will.


And if you listened to what the "Right-Wing Talkers" are saying, you would hear them express their anger/frustration at their "republican" representatives as well, for just the reasons I have mentioned here.
Why do you think the Republicans lost so many seats in the Senate and Congress? Because many of them either stayed home in the 2006 elections or voted for Democrats out of frustration that their representatives sold them down the river thru one unnecessary social program after another, and one pork barrel project after another. Why do you think they stand a good chance of losing the White House? For the same reasons.


<sigh>

I can't speak for anyone else in Grand Rapids....OR Michigan.
But I CAN say that the economy in Michigan has been faltering for over 30 years, and it cannot be blamed on any one US President, or any one Michigan Governor.

There is no hypocrisy there.
As per the norm with you Roadkill you're lying....That WHOLE post was directed at YOU and you know it. And only after you sniped at me again with your high pitched,shrill bleating...And by the way, nice touch,you taking it out of context and not quoting the whole post like people are to dumb to go back and read the whole deal... .I would like to thank you for quoting ME on the "I don't swing that way" post .I'm glad you liked it enough to use it as if you had said it to me first instead of the other way around.Dont tell me with all of your many faults you're going to add plagiarist into the mix .Oh...In case you didn't see the compliment I posted for you in another thread I'll repeat it here for you.Its in response to one of your earlier posts.I think in this time of deceit its very refreshing to see truth in advertising and since in an earlier post you stated that you had had three DWIs in your past (your words not mine.You could fibbing about that too) and they had never affected you getting a job anywhere , again ,according to you (I truly admire the damascus steel like nerves of your insurance company. ). I complimented your well thought out and truthful screen name .ROADKILL.
And just a question .Why must you hijack every thread to grovel at Bushes feet?Are you a paid Bush bot? Thats the only reason I can think of cause I know your not just plain stupid.Only a very,very stupid person would continue to bet on a horse thats not only last and ran the wrong direction out of the gate, but is actually laying on its back in the middle of the track,feet in the air with something that looks like grass only brown/green and mushy coming out of the end of it where the head ISN"T attached.So since you're not stupid you simply have to be a paid Bush bot.Go back thru your posts.You've moved this thread so far off topic(like you always do) that it's not only on a different track,it's on a different railroad.Get with the program and lets talk about some angry white guys instead of some thieving rich guys.Catch you later,Bushbot ,aka ,roadkill
