harry, wouldn't that be discrimination?

and thats what your party supposedly fights to protects citizens

I would hire you if you had the qualifications. I don't believe in
discrimination of any kind, politics, race, or creed.

You're as full of **** as JimH. What about the gays who would like to
marry. You sure do discriminate against them.

Don't expect a response. Political affiliation AFAIK does not have
protected status. Perhaps, there is a state that protects it, but
offhand, I know of none. Still, an employer would be rather stupid to
hire from a pool that eliminated the other 50% (@).

So far, Jim has "reported" me to the FBI, the Department of Justice, the
Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security, his lawyer, and Ann
Coulter. There must be quite a file folder abuilding on Jim.

Don't forget the 'Swarm & Destroy Nation'.

Just what rec.boats needs, another anti-intellectual idiot.

What do you expect when the Lord in Chief and his minions frown on
learning?


I got my MBA from Northwestern University, and the teachers there were
all hands on. Anyone that is educated and makes good money is either a
republican or a libertarian. The few that are democrats have another
agenda, like politics and power. You can bash Bush all the time, but in
the end it's all about paying less in taxes. Something the republicans
promise and deliver.


Have you ever dealt with the financials for a company that intentionally
lowers its income (perhaps by lowering prices due to competition), and at
the same time announces a new expenditure that it will only describe as "a
lot", and cannot give any estimate of when the expenditure will cease?
Instead, it says "We can always issue more bonds".

Would you buy stock in a company like that? Even better: Would you like to
be the spokesman at the shareholders meeting, shortly after these
financial antics were announced?


Sounds like the company wants to go bankrupt - and wants to give preference
to the bond holders by sucking out the cash. Keep in mind, last 3 years of
corporate corruptions have put in place rules that will effectively protect
shareholders from this.

Is that group an affiliate of the Moped Manchild Marathoners, wherein

Since we can only judge by the behavoir of one member in this
newsgroup...I'd say anything is possible.

What more evidence is needed that no particular academic accomplishment is
needed to obtain an MBA?

Anyone that is educated and makes good money is either a republican or a
libertarian.


Un-huh. This, no doubt, is something you found scratched on the men's room
wall at Northwestern.


For most part, Northwestern is very liberal. Kellogg is not, but the rest of
the campus is.

Really? Then why are so many of the pro-Bush/Cheney crowd such ignorant
bigots? You might check the educational system rankings of various
Red/Blue states, too.


Yes, liberal degrees maybe. You will note that most MBA holders are
republicans. As a matter of fact, Kellogg hosted a few young republican
parties. I work in the securities industries, and I only know of a few
democrats that are traders, bankers or venture guys. Anyone making any money
will vote republican. It doesn't matter if they believe in the Iraq war, or
abortion, or anything else, they just care about paying less in taxes.
Everything else is secondary. The people that run the financial institutions
in the U.S. will vote republican.

You're right. The company wants to go bankrupt. Now: Why are you comfortable
with our government doing this? And, please don't say "lowering taxes
increases revenue at the other end", because there's no linear connection
between the two. Correlation, maybe, but you don't make financial plans
based on correlation, just as you don't invest money in stocks if you must
have the cash in a year without any risk.

You hit the nail on the head.......tons of "liberal arts" "philosophy" and
"english" majors.....then they graduate and whine about not being able to
get a job outside the local mall........and expect "big daddy" guvmint to do
somethng about it.

When I worked at Paine Webber beginning in 1987, there was also the theory
that people in that biz voted mostly Republican. But, there's something
called the "Dewar's Effect" which brought out the truth in a number of
instances. People often say one thing, but do another. You never know.
