1.I've read a lot of his other posts (like on union shops,insurance ,pension,political beliefs etc) and although he's definitely entitled to his opinion, it's just glaringly obvious he was raised different than me and his background experiences seem to be at polar ends to mine( WHICH IS FINE AND I"M GLAD FOR HIM,he's blessed.) and anything I said to him would either incite hateful comments or misunderstandings that would be a waste of time on both of our parts.I 'm trying to quit smoking this week and I just don't want the extra aggravation.
2. His profile say's TRUCKING INDUSTRY.Not driver.So unless he's a mechanic,body man ,truck restoration enthusiast or in a related field ,why bother arguing for fun.LOL...I've argued with enough lying truck owners,dispatchers,recruiters,"safety men" , truck salesmen,parts dealers,insurance agents or God forbid, a paccar finance man or DOT officer ( most who've never been behind the wheel) in my life that I don't want to waste another precious second of time left in my short life arguing with another one.And I mean that in the nicest possible way.Well,unless he works for paccar or DOT,then I wouldn't mean it so nice...LOL

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.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, roadkill, but if you'll look back.....I said: "...as evidenced by THE blind support..." not: YOUR blind support.

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.

This is more of that economics stuff that you admitted you don't understand. I'd like to ask you to post something in support of this to help you gain a better understanding. Start by reading all that stuff that gets in the way of you finding a credible link to support your claim. Or better yet, stay tuned for a response to Ronn's interesting, but severely flawed, tax link.


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.

Foolhardy? Hardly. Foolhardy is posting something like this without taking even a second to google some facts. For instance, did you know that DEMOCRATIC President Bill Clinton turned the office over to GWB with a $127 billion budget surplus? And by 2005, Bush was running an annual $319 billion deficit?

How about Jimmy Carter, and the $600 billion budget he worked with during his last year of office, and Reagan's $1.2 trillion budget immediately following?

Who will spend us into oblivion faster? Google "federal budget deficit 1960-2008" for the truth.



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>

His saving grace is he is strong on defending this country, BTW it was Clintons era that set us up for 9-11 by letting the terrorists around the world get away with what the did without repercussions.
Truth be told Edwards is probably the most balanced candidate we have but he doesn't have a snowballs chance in he** of getting elected.
People like Clinton,Kerry, and that nut Gore are going to be the downfall of this once GREAT Country.
