    You got that from????

    I seem to remember a certain person doing the "I told you so" thing when Bush won. Doesn't your reasoning count when it's the other way round?

    you remind me of what I used to hear after every election when I was in the UK.... somehow the losing party would always claim some sort of victory.

    BTW the vast majority of the country is neither Liberal or Conservative, but somewhere in the middle. You just have to choose the topic.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    I don't actually. I even thought that the Dems are being used straighten out Iraq and then dumped.

    However, it is still a golden opportunity for them. I imagine folks that voted your way had to say to them themselves, "Damn ya'll fucked up sooooo bad that we've got to change."

    I've said it all along, the Bush tenure has been one massive fuck up. The only thing that Republicans try to hang their hat on is "lowest unemployment since '01 due to tax cuts" which is dubious since it implies that without tax cuts there can't be low unemplyment.

    Do you like paying taxes?

    Would you like to pay more taxes?

    Honest questions.

    I'd like to pay no taxes. When I make $80,000, I'd like to bring home $80,000.

    What's your point?

    What makes you think tax cuts don't optimize the unemployment situation?

    Cut my taxes enough, I can hire another guy.

    You don't believe that?

    But is your freezer big enough to store it?

    How do you think wealth is perpetuated, anyway?

    Money doesn't accrue interest absent the employment of people.
