I didn't compare you to a conservative.... (weeding with kompwehenshun has never been your stwong point)... I said that I've "thought you are a conservative throwing liberal stupidities onto the board for fun and jolly's...... mostly because of a total lack of supporting said stupidities." And Bush my be a prick; but he's our prick.

| It wouldn't help - We do luv Wordie - perhaps some sign language would help - nope can't do that either!......... it's just a lost cause - Cause wordie is lost in the democrat spin. Both political parties are hopin that the anger is enough to get them re elected. Why do we feel we only have 2 parties to chose from? Politics needs to be shook up and a few outsiders from Washington need to get on the playground. Lurker - I would rep ya but don't hae no more I can send your way! Wordie - Alls I can say is our prick keeps it in his pants. If you think Bush is a prick then take a tour down memory lane - there are lots of em. Anatomically thogh......... that's kina an oxymoron.

You're right about the playground. The problem with the playground is the surface... It's not sand or even recycled rubber. It's covered with money. That problem started with the Presidential election in 1888. Grover Cleveland wanted to reduce the protectionist tariff taxes because the federal treasury was too full. He believed that letting that surplus stay in the public's hands was better for the economy as compared a surplus sitting in the treasury. Cleveland's 1888 opponent was Benjamin Harrison. Harrison won the electoral count. President Harrison decided to reduce the surplus, too. But he would do it by increasing government spending...not by cutting taxes. CONgress aGREED and started its addiction to spending 'OUR' money. Much of the money was spent on payments to men who had fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. These payments cost the government more than one hundred million dollars a year. CONgress also approved millions of dollars for government projects in the home states of important CONgressmen. This was called "pork barrel" spending. It paid for new roads, bridges, and government buildings -- for almost anything the CONgressmen wanted. CONgress reduced the surplus even more by approving money to build coastal defenses and to buy warships for the Navy. Having money in the treasury empowers them to do many things.... and not all of them are good. I don't care who we send to the Washington playground; they will quickly fail us.

| Oh Bubba I thought you were smarter than that!!!....... Why why why..... do intellegent folks let some political person use them to be thier mouthpiece...... the other side is not the only choice you have..... lots of folks are gonna run - it's not all about the Democrats and Republicans..... in that instance we have seen how a president can lie with a straight face and it wasn't a republican that showed us that........ come outta the dark Bubba.... look around........ there are choices........ hell we don't even know whos' gonna be runnin for president ...... come november 7th vote for the best candadate...... don't vote against some one just to cast a vote against someone who isn't runnin the race........ that is downright criminal...... I didn't serve my country so you could cast a vengance vote......... vote with your brain not your affiliation! It ain't about "party" anymore....

| Bush distancing himself from... Am I the only one of all the DCB members on board who wonders how the discourse would have changed had someone other than Wordie introduced the topic? And oh yeah, I always vote based on political ads and news "spins" and "not spins." ![]() |
