QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:52 AM) Hey, whatchoo talkin about sucka? I work at K-Mart!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:45 AM) Sure get your $1.98 gallon of milk. Oh by the way your also helping shell out to subsidize all the millions of dollars being spent on Wal-Mart employees who are on welfare, getting food stamps and getting all sorts of state and federal aid because their greedy company doesn't pay them enough and provide them with benefits. Maybe you are exempt from helping pay for that welfare but I'm pretty sure my taxes help pay for that. Once a Walmart hourly minimum wage employee, always a walmart hourly minimum wage employee.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:11 AM) I far as I know, the Libertarian party is for very low tax rates and very low government spending... so I guess we're both right. And that's the way it should be. But no. RAISE TAXES, AND GIVE IT TO STEVE BARTMAN'S MY IDOL!

But he wouldn't get tortured at The Hague or Europe, so we have to keep him!!

The (SL)hammer '08 BABY!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 22, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) All true, and that's the upshot. As a business, I have huge respect for them. In fact, they are THE model at this point in retail transportation and logistics management. That's the single biggest driver of their success. But that doesn't mean Walmart's net effect is necessarily positive. They are rich. They need to give that money to the poor. f*** capitalism!!!

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Right on, Big! f*** yea! Let's increase taxes so you poor f***s can have some more government handouts!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 11:25 PM) Is that some sort of swipe at Bush? Wait until Kap reads it, then your ass is grass my man. *cough COUGH CO ......... UGH*

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) After campaigning against Wal-Mart and other corporations, you would think that a consumate politician would think it might be a good idea to tell your trust to avoid conflicts of interest, especially with disclosures the way they are now a days. But it doesn't fit an agenda... come on, now.

QUOTE(mreye @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:11 PM) I give a s***. I really doubt it's true, but yes, I care. I care because we're better than that. We don't treat people like that - even pieces of s*** like him. Oh really? Ask about 70% of soxtalkers in this forum, and they all will swear up and down we do this, all the time. And enjoy it. /end of snarky post - yea, the green part really is green.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 05:08 PM) You mentioned Bush post-9-11. Who can forget the image of him standing on a pile of rubble with a bullhorn telling the firefighters that we're gonna get the bastards who did this. That was a timeless moment right there. 4.5 years later, we still haven't.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 04:56 PM) So lets take a look at the Contract shall we? In the first two paragraphs, the GOP frames the debate by saying "Congress is crooked and needs a change in leadership." So everything they based their victory on was based on a problem. Their "positive plan" wasn't revealed until September of 2004. But they offered solutions. Something that the Democrats have failed to do in 10 years. Like I said, let's hope they do, so we can actually debate ideas, not how bad the other party sucks.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 04:58 PM) How can you say that? Bush pushed for a constitutional amendment codifying discrimination against a group of people. The first time that would have been written into the constitution since the 1700s. The "gay marriange amendment" I'm 100% against as well. See, I'm morphing.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) Honestly, if you put an I option in your poll that I saw, I'd bet the I's would not be too far from R's and D's. But maybe not, who knows. I just thought I'd stand up for that group. Neither party would want me either. I definitely am an independant. I'm against the death penalty. Against big government. Against abortion. The immagrant issue that Bush is pressing for pisses me off. I come across to defend more Republican ideals then I do Democratic ones because I get sick of the constant bashing the Republicans get because the Dems can't come up with a message. And Rex, to your point in another thread and post, I don't scream louder about issues often - I usually debate them. I scream louder about the constant attacks of Republicans suck ™ and Penis-In-Chief ™ comments without substantiation. (what would I do without Mercy? )

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) That' sthe real trick, of course. The Democratic Party is a very diverse party and so for some time now it has been hard to find a singularly unifying message. Bleeding hearts, blue collar unionists, academics, civil libertarians, environmental proponents, pro-choice advocates, socialized health care advocates, gay rights advocates, etc., etc., all claim affiliation to the party, and it's hard to find the singular message. Other than general agreement that the GOP cares very little about the average american little guy – unless it is an election year. The truth of the matter is, "conservatives" only vote Republican, because the party is supposed to be for "hands off" government more then the Democrats. The even-more-truth of the matter is this is becoming less and less true as time has moved forward here. It's interesting that you say the Democratic party is a wider variety of people. I tend to agree with that, at least by old standards. But, why is it that they are slowly getting away from that reach to "all sorts of people" and shifting their own focus to what's more "fringe" politics? By the way, this is good stuff. I like this kind of conversation.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) I would say the charges, if true, constitute an absolute impeachable offense for any president. What do you mean "if true"... you people are all over this President for "lying"... yet he has come right out and said, hell yes, I do this, because I think we have Consitutional authority to do so. THAT is the argument, and one that needs solved so it can be stopped if this is "wrong" in the eyes of the constitution. As far as the "they all do it" argument, what pisses me off so bad is hell yea, they all do it. But when George W. Bush does anything "wrong", according to the media and some who post in this forum, the hate runs so deep that it HAS to be the worst effin' thing EVER to have taken place in the White House and the sheer magnitude HAS to be worse from George W. Bush then ANYONE ELSE, EVER. Ever since he "stole" the election, the hate does run really, really deep. The guy could s*** golden bricks and most people would complain that he didn't eat enough and he needs to s*** more. It's alway something, and it's NEVER good enough, because the Dems (or more correctly, YOUR idealogy) are not in control. (shifting gears off topic but it's relevant to the whole argument) I'll say it again, for all those idiot, moronic Dems leading their party, GET A EFFIN' MESSAGE and take these morons out who are in power instead of CONSTANTLY sniping at the Republicans. When the leader of the Dem party goes on record to say (paraphrasing) "we don't have to have a plan or a message, it's our job to raise issues against the current power structure"... they will NEVER get the power back. The Republicans were out of power for 40 years until 1994, because they did the same s***, until they got a message and TOOK the power back. If the Democrats get a solid (centrist - because that's what most are in this country) message, hell, I'd vote for them. This forum's cross section really magnifies the issue. There's way more bull s*** posted around here about what the Repubicans are doing wrong then good ideas to fix it. It's no wonder our system is failing right now. It fails HERE on a stupid baseball message board and that's really, really sad because it represents "America".

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:21 AM) whatever, chicken f***er..... Hey... that's reserved for southsider. He's the resident chicken f***er on this board. Now take it back.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Spying again, huh? Thank goodness I found a great Lesbian Separatists with Girl Children only/Vegetarian/Cotton Clothing/Living on the Land/Raising Goats for Cheese Forum where I can discuss the White Sox. So it’s all worked out quite well for me. I bet you're the most educated White Sox fan on that forum, right?

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) Are you sure? I was picturing something more along the lines of ... where the hell did you find that? (I see the link... you have to have waaaaay too much time on your hands to remember where that was) And the thing is, this is right up PA's alley.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) welcome to pennsylvania. drive down I-80 and it's...cow...cow....cow...podunk cow town...cow....mountain....Penn State...cow..cow...20k hot chicks...cow...mountain...podunk mining town... I'm sure Dover's in there somewhere. 20k hot chicks... must be in Amish country... CHURN SOME BUTTER BABY!

They don't call this the "catch all thread" for nothin'.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 12:07 AM) No offense taken here! But who really goes to a baseball forum to discuss politics? Wouldn’t that be like going to a tavern in order to smoke a cigarette? Apparantly you do 75% of the time.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) Yup, I went ahead and added the sports pack, only to discover that the games are still blacked out when you're outside of Chicago. Furious. I just canceled the damn sports pack. I'm also an MLB Extra innings subscriber, and I still don't get the f***ing games. Balta, I feel your pain. I was pretty pissed off when I saw that as well. Assholes.

I'm a little late... but THANK GOD these two morons are gone. /end
