Missed it by that much!

Post was done before I got to the page with pictues but it went to the end of the line. I have no objection to anyone having toys. The more the better!

Feel free to criticize my views and opinions. I have never taken myself seriously, why should anyone else?
I am just looking to have some fun. I don't mind if people call my ideas stupid, I realize sometimes, with the passage of time, that some of my ideas WERE stupid. I don't want everyone to agree with me. Aren't we are all here to exchange ideas? If I was easily offended I wouldn't visit here. I just wanted to point out that I am not a "lazy union member".
Honestly, I believe the teachers have the biggest responsibility, but for some reason it is popular to wage war against them right now. Chicago did the right thing with the contract, negotiate. Everyone in business negotiates, it is the backbone of business, it's how the job is done. Eliminating the right to negotiate only proves that you have no skills to do so. Business would not stand for it if you told them they could not negotiate their contracts, but the teachers and other public employees apparently don't deserve the same rights and protections as business in some peoples minds.

I thought I had made myself clear on this issue,
I am a sarcastic smart alek, but possibly my dry delivery makes it hard to see at times. I have had the good fortune of being surrounded by some brilliant people, this has reinforced my understanding that I am not one.
I have been known to ask a question just to see where someone stands on an issue, with no particular interest in the issue myself. It's a good way to get to know people.

My favorite AP story yesterday, they are upset Romney didn't claim more deductions in 2011. They are complaining he paid to much in taxes and screwed them from the opportunity to say he paid to little. This is why he does not release more records. It is just the Dems fishing for anything they can twist and use. He is a smart man.

Thanks for proving my point. You have no moral compass. Do you want the rich to pay more taxes or not? If yes than why do you bitch when they do? You are criticizing a man for giving 4 million to charity and only claiming 2 on his taxes???? Please stop and take a look at what you are saying, it is Insane. What is next, Maybe you could go after him for being kind to children!!!

So where did you read I was critical of the charity?

Seriously, read up the conservatives position on Romney taxes. I think you'll find you are the on out of line.


Should we continue on Romney flip flops and double negatives? There is more, and when it comes to Romney, there is alot more.

So let me get this strait Seth, You are complaining that a millionaire paid to many taxes, But Romney is a flip flopper? So from here on out your stance will be millionaires should take advantage of every write off and pay as little tax as possible? or are you going to flip flop again?

Mitt Romney quote on taxes, 09/21/2012
" I don't pay more than are legally due, and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president."
Thank you, Mitt. I'm glad we agree!

I have a feeling it will all be fixed, but we've got to get closer to the cliff edge.

It's hard to cut the deficit in half when he has been so pre-occupied working on the "high"2 dollar gas prices ... you know, one thing at a time!!!

“..... to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child.
That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.” (Now we are at 16 trillion after just 3.5 years of Barack by his lonesome)

Thank you, Barack I'm glad we agree!

Why did we not do it three years ago like Obama promised. "I will cut the deficit in half in my first term." Does he have multiplication confused with division? To much experimenting with drugs in high school? Astounding Dave. Where was your party three years ago? You know, back when a 10 to 1 ratio was offered, and Boehner said f off, you are not getting re-elected, neener - neener. Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap. Democrats got ur Republicans in a bind. Have you seen the latest swing state polls? Or the down ballot polling? Looks like people are running from Romney. Just saying...

Was that where Obama was offering to cut the deficit in half?? Or was it less than a 1% reduction in spending and he could not even agree to do that without pushing his tax the rich agenda?

You mean the " tax the rich equally" plan?
It took Mitt 800 pages of tax returns to avoid his taxes this year. He refuses to tell us how many shelters and pages it took him to avoid them altogether in previous years.
If they looked good, he would use them. A politician never passes a chance to show that he is a good tax paying citizen.

Bruce no body wants to hear what they are going to do . They only want to talk about what they did in their past.. unfortunately it will probably take a big issue in the next 4 weeks to unseat him. I guess we can hope that congress and the the house will fill with republicans .
