OTOH, maybe that wouldn't hurt me... Wouldn't hurt you in my esteem. People experimenting with substances - especially when they're younger - doesn't seem to me to be a good measure of their adult judgment. Except, that is, if *they* experiment and then once in the seat of power, decide that it's okay to punish others who do the same thing. In other words, hats off to Obama for honestly talking about his past (unlike W who said some cop-out bull****, or Clinton with the oh-so- clintony "didn't break the laws of my country" and later "I didn't inhale") ... but F him for dismissing serious questions about decriminialization and F him for ignoring the waste, expense, and injustice of the 60% of federal prisoners who are non-violent drug offenders. And I don't care if a candidate enjoys sex. I don't care if they're married or single. Or divorced. And (I'm sure we'll part ways here) I don't care if they're gay, either. |

I'm waiting for you to cite the actual case instead of blogs. Either do it or you will be ignored. -- Sleep well tonight, RD (The Sandman) Let's see if I have this healthcare thingy right. Congress is to pass a plan written by a committee whose head has said he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it, signed by a president who hasn't read it, with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes because he didn't understand TurboTax, overseen by an obese Surgeon General and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong? |

It's astounding that you place no significance whatsoever on the fact that it's theirs in the first place. They've worked or risked or invested to obtain it. What's astounding is that folks like you don't recognize the middle class is getting wiped out while the wealthy increase their lot. What you don't recognize is fair play or perhaps we just have radically different views on parity. Evidently so. Since the "rich" need a comsumption oriented middle class to buy thier products and services, how do you figure? If anyone is destroying the middle class it's the government. Another tinkle down economist heard from. Have you heard it doesn't work? No, but I have heard that government controlled economies don't work and destroy men's souls. No, I'm talking about the real world. |

I'm a small business owner and I'm likely to create jobs if the economy recovers. I'm all in favor of helping small business and individuals who need to stay afloat. What's that got to do with trickle down? Do you think small business owners are among the top 1%? Idiot. |

Most small business owners file under their personal tax returns and are most likely to get ****ed by the tax increases on those "rich" people making $200K + that he specifically targeted in his campaign. Think real hard: if the government takes more of your money, will you be able to hire more employees? or fewer? What's that got to do with trickle down? Do you think small business owners are among the top 1%? As I showed you (again), those tax cuts did not only benefit the "top 1%" that you seem to have a raging hard-on for. And the term "trickle down", as you know, was coined long before the Bush cuts you're bitching about. Idiot. |
