Anyone heard from Eric?

I always thought advise was free?

Eric, Newts company charged a million to consult, but they must have been providing a service or the relationship would not have lasted ten years. but you are correct that is a hundred thousand dollars of tax payer money a year. Now lets look at our current Pres. He deemed his performance at turning around the economy so superior that he feels he and his family deserve a vacation in Hawaii. That means flying over two air-force ones, the presidential limos, security details...... at a cost of 4 million mostly tax payer dollars for one week. On his return he is going to request that we push the national debt to 16 trillion. Put your outrage where it belongs.

also eric, I need that dampner/clutch plate, whatever its called for my engine. I know before we breifly discussed it. Let me know what the best way to contact you to arrange payment/shipping/pickup is. Thanks bro.

Only from your parents and friends, all others hold on to your wallet

None of the other washington politicians are there over christmas, why should he. Your life, every minute of it, is run by the position. I think its ok for every president to get to take a vacation with his family for christmas. They are people after all. I couldnt work at that pace all year. So I am ok with him getting this vacation even if it is expensive. We dont pay the president hardly anything anyway. We are ok with a CEO getting a couple million and the president get 400,000? To run a whole country and people would kill you if they had the chance. I think anyone we get in there the taxpayers are getting a bargain even with a few hawaii vacations.

I have to differ with you here. This is the president who keeps saying the government needs more money, and that he inherited an impossible economy, and that we all need to share in the sacrifice. He is also the one who has found time to play over 80 rounds of golf in three years. He is the one who just spent a week at Maratha's vineyard over labor day weekend. He is the one who's kids went to France over spring break. He is the one who just came back from Asia and Hawaii a few weeks ago. He is the one that keeps saying we need to live green. He is the one that fired the head of government motors for living a excessive lifestyle flying around on private jets while his job performance was sub-par. If he is going to talk the talk he needs to walk the walk. My "Big vacation" for the last two years was driving to green lake, 4 days and a 400 dollar spending limit. Both years I struggled with the decision to go, and whether it was to much to ask of my families budget. He deserves time with his family the same as anyone over the holidays but not a four million dollar trip at tax payer expense. He spends our money like it is monopoly money and I guarantee the only struggling with the decision was if it would hurt him politically. Four million in a private citizens hands could open a small factory and employ many for a year,and he is blowing it in a week. It is the private citizens money that he is so callously spending. How do you convince "the rich" that they should part with their hard earned money when this is what is done with it? Especially in this economy. This is the guy that said he would not rest till the economy was fixed.It show a disconnect along with arrogance. If the job is to much for him and he needs time off that bad there are several republicans in Iowa right now willing to give him the next four years off.

John, yeah dealing with the barneys down there in Brunstuck is a thrill, i gotta call from the officer in charge of the case and she asked me about a statement my friend came up with, she very agitatidely asked me who's statement this was and i told her it was his and she asked how come his last name was spelled wrong? i told her probably because i typed it wrong (go figure) she asked why did you type, I said why not?
I typed it from a hand written piece of paper and typed it out and had him sign it, she didnt like that and wanted him to physically type it because it is an important piece of legal evidence as she indicated   wtf

Mama says life is like a box of chocolates. Sometimes you don't get what you think you will.

The scary thing is eric, I cant, neither can alot of other R's. I think its gonna be a weak turnout across the board for the elections this year. So the winner may be decided by who has the least number of no shows at the polls. I think the younger generations are very disenfranchised with the current political climate. At least thats the impression I get with everyone I hang out with, no one I talk to is excited about politics. Except my mom, ugh, but she is more excited about hating one person than liking someone else.

I really wish there was a good republican candidate with new ideas, someone that could actually compromise and get the job done. Not a bunch of loud mouths that just tow the party line.

Thats it!! I just decided, Im switching to independent, I am embarrased to be part of either party.

To vote in the primaries I'm republican (I lie) but I try to vote for the best person for me.

Funny how it's OK for a cop , congressman or the president to lie to me but illegal for me to lie to them

Do you guys remember the movie "The Mechanic" Bronson made wrong-right

You say Ron Paul, and you may agree with his ideas but even if elected he will never be able to get congress to impliment them. That is the problem with most of these guys. They all (Dem & Rep) have ideas and offer changes which on the surface sound wonderful. Then once elected they meet congress and nothing happens.

We need someone that can get both parties in congress and the senate to really comprimise and not just patch things up so they can go on vacation. We need a congress that is not just worried about reelection.   




You all know where I'm going with this............



Newt 2012

well there is your first problem right there...


john

well, everyone laughs at my phone because it looks like its from the 80's and ive had it for about 6 years, i have buffed it many times so i can get a non fuzzy picture when i take one, buffed it so much you can see the speaker through it, It was lost 9 days ago, disappeared out of my daughters pocket, no one could find it on the route to her friends house or on the route home, we had snow on the ground all week and it finally melted, so i decided to go to the friends house and look for it, 30 seconds later i found it in a puddle wide open by his swing set, grabbed it got back in the car, with my 4g friend with always the latest and greatest phone, he is about 10 years younger than me from the technological age, his smirk, the one that laughs the fcn most, and water was still dripping from the phone, I hit the power button...bzzzzpop boom, 6 fcn messages, 18 missed calls, 8 voice mails they dont build them like that anymore

I paid $200 for that one & they acted like they were doing me a favor selling it to me!   Just like my 1st apple computer.

This is why I lag tech introductions by a generation . . .

fcn, sales man, i broke down and went to the AT n T store, ive had it with things lately and im a short fuse, yes, i thought now is as good time as any to get a phone because chances are my phone will take a *************** in the next day or so and i dont want my friend saying i told you so even though he cant, well I get there and told the guy i need a cheap phone and he starts with his sht, you can do this you can do that it will even bl you...in my words, i said i dont think you fcn understood me, 3 minutes later I walked out with a 19.95 phone
