The Republican Thread
QUOTE (mr_genius @ Oct 3, 2012 -> 10:51 PM) that sounds good to me. the tax code needs simplification. You really think that is where this is going? My guess is he wants to get rid of things like standard deduction, housing deductions, etc. and replace them with far more complicated deductions. Im entirely speculating because he never stated what type of things he was going to change. It would be nice if he had an actual plan, instead of forcing us to guess at what might be behind the curtain.

The Republican Thread
Romney isnt good either. He should have been obliterated. His plan is literally to just change the name of things. Youll pay less taxes, but you wont get as many deductions/credits/write offs, so end result, you pay the same to the govt. The hardest part of an actual argument is to know when to shut up and let the other person sink themselves. To beat a guy like Romney, you just simply ask them questions: "So what deductions are you going to get rid of" and then let him explain himself into oblivion. Instead Obama wanted to get into a war of facts, and that is never going to beat "You dont know my plan, because I dont know my plan, thus anything you say I can say isnt right and my plan has never been done before, so no one knows except me."

The Republican Thread
I personally feel he is bad most of the time. Hes just not quick on his feet. Romney stunned him with the "thats not my plan" and then just kept repeating "oh well i wont lower taxes to increase deficit" and other really vague answers. Obama just didnt listen, he kept repeating his stupid talking points, instead of thinking on his feet and asking Romney to explicitly lay out the plan. Obama just couldnt put it all together. But what he should have said was that Romney's plan, of lowering taxes and offsetting it with getting rid of deductions loop holes is a 0 sum game, Romney said it himself. He isnt going to change the amount of income, he just going to change how its collected. The real question here is what deductions are going to be removed. If he takes away certain ones that may increase burden on middle/lower or upper class class, but its impossible to know because he just says things that are so general. Obama needed to let go of the rope and just let Romney sit up there and talk. Eventually hell convince himself to change his mind.

That looks like one of those stupid "Valentines Day" movies where there is a huge cast and its random romantic nonsense. Except this time its just random off color humor. We shall see if it some how works together.

I believe the delayed explosion explanation is wrong. The explosion didnt go off the way it was supposed to, so Ledger began to hit the remote and then it went off, which is why he kind of jumps.

Ill probably go the whole season with Revolution. I enjoy it and the acting doesnt really bother me as I think the focus is beginning to shift to Miles.

The problem with Cutler is that when he implodes he basically pours gasoline on the entire team and just sets it ablaze. Which is why the bad games are easy to remember.

Is that the first half line or something? Haha dont worry Bielema will do his best to make it interesting. Youll enjoy the "confused" looks on the sidelines.

For some reason I thought that was a picture of Steph McMahon and Triple H's baby. Not that they are even having one, just what I somehow thought.

They are to big for my use. I like small, so ear buds are my preference even if the sound isnt perfect. I try and bring as few things as possible out in the real world.

So my new galaxy 3 is amazing. The only thing that was annoying was when I set up my work email it automatically forwarded texts to my work email. Ive since disabled that feature, but be aware. Thankfully most of my friends dont use explicit terms, or it could have been hilariously bad.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 28, 2012 -> 11:48 AM) Hey if top 4 is your goal more power to ya. I suspect championships is what most fans are looking for. Wisconsin gets their fair share of Big 10 Championships. But they are never going to be Kentucky, so its unrealistic to think they are going to win the Big 10 every year. I just want them to keep up their tournament streak and make an impact.
