Thank you. Finishing my Ph.D. has not permitted me to get to Cincy or Dayton for quite some time, unfortunately.

My son is doing well, thanks. He will be graduating with his BA this spring.

There never seems to be enough time.
The OADB luncheon is on March 14 this year.
I have forgotten if you SSP for Deaf or Deaf/Blind, you did not become an interpretor, right?

Wow, time certainly ticks away, I believe he was just getting started when I joined AD.

I'd say absolutely :P but that would be proving your point Aaa! :giggle:

have to question any party that puts partisan politics above the good of the country. Failure of any administration only has negative impact on the people of this nation. To support a negative impact simply to advance a political party is not only irresponsible, it reeks of Fascist thinking.

The funny or sad thing is that I could make the same statement about the liberals and be as correct as you are jillio..
I guess that is what the politicians do well, to divide us into parties and get us arguing over parties and their intentions. It sure does take all of us away from the issues doesn't it.

No, I am not an interpreter.

And, yes, time does fly. Especially when you are having fun!

Conservatives want bad plans and policies to fail, regardless of who devises them.

Same here. I also question any party that puts the "success" of an individual President above the good the country.

Failure of any administration only has negative impact on the people of this nation.

If the administration is leading the nation in a destruction direction then of course people want it to fail. That's why people vote against destructive policies and the proponents of such policies.

If the current administration makes the right decisions then it won't fail, so there won't be a negative impact on the people.

Our nation was set up by the founding fathers in a way that wouldn't be dependent on the success or failure of any one "administration." The Constitution makes it possible for our country to plug along even if individual Presidents and Congressmen "fail."

The USA is a country of the people, by the people and for the people, not a country of the President, by the President or for the President.

To support a negative impact simply to advance a political party is not only irresponsible, it reeks of Fascist thinking. Seems to me, I remember the Republicans calling for bi-partisanship in politics just a few short months ago. Sure have changed that tune now.:roll:

To support a negative impact not for the advance of any political party but for the protection of the American people is not only responsible, it is necessary.

Democrats are welcome to come on board with a real plan for the economy any time they want. Republicans never said that Democrats couldn't join them in bi-partisan pork and tax slashing.
 
No, they simply refuse to work with the Democrats unless things are done exactly as the Republicans think it should be. That is not bi-partisan, that is partisan.

The Republicans might want to keep in mind that doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the true definition of insanity.

Today I heard on MSNBC that Rush wants Obama to fail. :roll: If Rush believes in the Constitution, you'd think he would do everything he could to stand behind our President instead of wishing the worst for America.

Rush didn't wish the worst for America--he wants what is the best for America.

What part of the Constitution says that the people are supposed to stand behind everything that the President proposes?

What I find ironic is how he wants Obama to fail yet he never had a single word to say about how inept President Bush was and what a mess he left this country in.

Are you sure about that? Are you sure that Rush never criticized anything that Bush did?

I know many conservatives (including myself) who publicly criticized many of Bush's actions.

Rush did not say he wanted specific policies of Obama's to fail. He said he wanted Obama to fail. Personalizes it. He has also stated that his motive is to return the Republican party to control. Personalizes it.

So for the sake of bi-partisan cooperation it's better for our nation to make compromises that will damage the well-being of our country? That doesn't make sense.

Regardless of party, if there is pork in the bill, get rid of it. If there are increased taxes in it, get rid of it. That goes for all sides.

Rush Limbaugh manages to damage the well being of America all by himself.:roll: His intent is to inflame and divide.

I didn't see the Repubs cutting pork over the last 8 years, despite Dem reccommedations to do so.

The Republican party can see no further than the next election. They started gearing up as soon as this one was over. They don't appear to have much interest in working for the betterment of the country. Their focus appears to be on winning the next election.

If Obama is leading the country down a path of destruction, then of course he should fail.

If Rush wants the Republican party, as it is configured now, to gain control just for the sake of the party that's wrong. If he wants true conservatives (regardless of party affiliation) to gain control for the sake of the nation then he's right.

Rush puts too much trust in the Republican party. I would like to see a new strong conservative party rise up. The Republicans are too wishy washy.

He's just a talk show host (entertainer), not a real politician. He has only one vote, just like any other American citizen. He brings up some good points but that just gives people something to think about and talk about. People should consider what he says but not blindly accept it all.

The problem here is, the party that Rush wants to regain control is the one that has gotten us into the mess that Obama has been elected to straighten out. Rush is proposing more of the same that created the situation this country finds itself in. As I stated prior, the true definition of insanity is doing the same old thing over and over and expecting to get different results. That is exactly what Rush proposes we do.

Increase conservatism to combat the problems that conservative policies have created? Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Let's all just go beat our heads against a brick wall to stop the headache.

I've been listening to Rush for years (to get an idea of where Conservatives stand) and not once have I heard him criticize anything former President Bush has done. In Rush's eyes, Bush can do no wrong.

If that's true, then why is Congress still including pork and tax increases? Haven't they learned their lesson yet?
