"Has it ever failed yours?
Was it when Obama got elected?"

I voted for Obama. but you're admitting it's all about what you don't get on election day. IT's not actually about dead civilians.

Thanks. Employers will always be greedy and focusing on the bottom line.

I work for a cooperative which focuses on the "members" which makes it easier to take care of employees. We don't have absent owners who demand their huge checks....that would suck.

-If you're not outraged by 50,000 dead civilians, you just might support terrorism!

40 million dead civilians during WW 2. Some of them as a result of dropping 2 bombs on them.

I wasn't around for it but doubt there was much of a platform for folks like you running around calling people terrorists if they failed to display enough "outrage" over it all.

We can move on to Korea and Vietnam and even back up to the Civil War if you'd like to count up civilian deaths.

Has America ever passed your purity test?

Our popularity drops off every single time we elect a republican into the WH. It's been that way since popularity started getting measured.

Doesn't seem to be a deterrent to voters.

-THE ROCKET has been unofficially left off but he was even better..

He clearly is qualified to be in by any measurable factor....but he won't get the votes.

So this is a nice gesture on MLB's part....but I don't think it will matter.

This just means he's off the ineligible list. Nothing more.

Clemens
Bonds
McGwire

none of those guys were banned or on some list yet none of them are getting in the HOF.

The same people who believe those guys I listed above shouldn't go in....are they going to allow Rose and/or Jackson in?

The voters for the HOF are still the same

BTW, having a great week. Oldest graduated law school Monday in St. Louis. Next one is graduating from K-State with an engineering degree on Saturday.

Both have jobs waiting on them. Very very very blessed.

The above was from Corky's link where he whines that the cost of labor is a commodity. it's not a charity.

"From 2021 to 2023, the cost of affording what amounts to a basic level of economic security doubled, according to LISEP's analysis. Housing and health care costs surged, while the amount of savings required to attend an in-state, public university soared 122%."

pretty old news but yes, very true.

"Buddy, this is the happiest I've been in a decade.
I haven't laughed this much ever I think.
I'm enjoying your pain and suffering."

Careful, people are likely to start comparing you to me.

Don't go and start taking the high road, being positive, and not piss and moan with every post.

You'll lose your leftie street cred.......

-if the economic benefits of outsourcing had been shared with the people who'd lost their jobs, america would have avoided this downfall

I doubt it. Consumers don't care when they're buying stuff.

They care when their jobs are impacted but they don't really make the connection.

for president?

what about county commissioner? or district court judge?

and what about primaries?

IOW, there are plenty of elections where voting for a republican is in your best interests.

yes

There is no significance to the fact he wouldn't vote for Trump again.

There is significance to the fact he's still going to vote for the republican the next time.

Expressing guilt over Trump is not much consolation for anybody....and it has no significance either.

-I'm shocked he's gone undrafted this long.

I think this was hyped on purpose by the media so they could have a story. The draft was going to too boring otherwise.

There were no unknowns about Sanders....all the issues and problems.....everyone knew them. All the NFL teams.

Who in the media was fooled? By whom?

I think everyone knew this is where Sanders would land in the draft but they made it a story.

-I mean like make mifepristone illegal, or suing a doctor in, say, Kansas for performing a legal abortion on a raped 9-yr old from Texas.

couldn't agree more

-I certainly don't see any Republicans championing parenting, outside of tax cuts they can put on the 1040, to claim "less people are paying taxes".

Because nobody wants to acknowledge that position.

-Yes, as long as they don't make that decision for others.

you mean vote to restrict abortion access?

You understand the problem here....there is no place for such a person I describe.

The right doesn't want them because they make them look like hypocrites for saying they care about babies before they're born but then don't give 2 -----.

The left doesn't want them because it waters down their wedge issue. Once someone says "I'm against abortion".....nothing else they say will matter even if they are very supportive of adoption, foster care, health care, head start, minimum wage, EITC, anything and everything that helps anybody raising a child.

Both sides want the extremes....and the rest should just STFU.

are you saying you respect the opinions of those who are truly pro-life?

Against abortion but also fully supports all truly pro-life aspects.

welfare
medicaid
social security
health care access
etc....

You'll shake the hand of someone who anti-abortion but also believe in the other pro-life positions?

or have you simply convinced yourself there are no such people?

Here's your $.03 of it. where should I venmo it to?

I agree with him but Ken Griffith is the LAST person anybody should listen to.

everybody STFU.

California needs us and we need California and since there is zero chance California is NOT going to be a state going forward....this is such a dumb argument.

so please.....stop having it.

-Did we expect those idiots to learn anything?

Yes, I believe most others did expect them to learn something.

And if this poll reflected that, everyone would be saying "See?? I told you this would backfire!!!"

And to a certain extent, even I believed these idiots would figure out something eventually.
