I have, but you haven't quite obviously.

I've always been a proponent of fiscal responsibility. I've always been a proponent of smaller govt and that larger and larger govt isn't the answer.

I've always been a proponent for health care choices (private and even some govt help is fine but not a take-over) and that illegal aliens have no right to gain access to our health care program.

I've always been a proponent against a single payer system knowing that it won't work.

I've been a proponent on lower taxes.

I don't pretend that the ballooning deficit won't hurt us big, big time eventually or that Social Security won't run out and default on us. However, you believe otherwise. And that's no difference than seeing an ostrich's head in a sand. To purposely bankrupt America, in whatever form or fashion, is wrong. I'm glad that you are a staunch, staunch advocate of bankrupting America.

Missed it again. I was referring to the "face reality" part. Just like when you told Shel, she should read the bill that you have yet to read.:D

He seems to ba a one trick pony. It all revolves around money.

Yeah, it would make you think that hydrologists had an average salary topping $250,000 instead of $82,217. :dunno2:

He makes an average of $82k a year and is complaining? Walk a mile in my shoes....

If he is a hydrologist, that is the average salary according to the Occupation Outlook Manual. And that is a well accepted reference.

"Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes...that way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes."

Not only that, he has a boatload of free time, it appears. For someone making that kind of salary, it has been good times; buying things at liquidation sales, feeling smug at all the jobless people. "I got mine. The other problems are not my problems. I got insurance. Find your own way." Notice all the hijackings steering things back to the deficit. The only topic that matters.

Agreed. I am simply tired of every topic becoming the same tired money discussion. There is no love lost here. Understand? Not looking for a fight.

yes - regardless of our salary range, we ARE paying for taxes. We all just have different opinion on how we're being taxed and how it's being spent but I think I can safely say that we ALL despise income tax :lol:

money is still always a serious issue.
 
That just shows how greedy Wilson is.

Yeah, I have no beef with you. Actually, I have no issue with income taxes, because the alternative is much worse. "Anyone volunteer to donate $15,000,000 for the road project and police cars?" I just find it ironic that someone with kids is bitching about taxes, when I don't have kids, yet over 40% of my state taxes are for schools. Yeah, I am paying for the future, blah blah blah....Thing is, I don't spend hours each day posting angry rhetoric about paying these taxes. I just vote, and if my side loses, I try to go along. That is my world. The constant complaining gets old. It ain't debate after awhile. We get your point. That is my message to the "unmentioned poster" here.

Why the need to raise so much money to fend off attacks from opponents? Makes me wonder if that's a cover to get money for pork. :lol:

pork? perhaps! perhaps! but nothing about "fight" is free. For example - hiring agency to produce ads, commercials, banners, tv, etc and organizing a trip to bring supporters/protesters to a location to disseminate message, etc. etc.

oh yes I know - I have no beef with you either but like you - I am tired of same old un-winnable argument. It's ugly. why do it again and again and again when the result is same - closed threads, banned ADers, and ugliness that drives us apart.

some people are just more vocal than others and they refuse to bend over and let them have at it. some just take it as it goes (like you and me).
 
Ha! they have to play thier cards a certain way or the 'donations' dry up. No big secret. Vote a certain way. Lobby a certain way. Call the president a liar...those kind of things. donations my ass.
