QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) It's been proven at least three times in the last 30 years that economic prosperity in this country happens more when the top income earners pay less in taxes, and it's no accident. Now, here comes the cynical bunch of you "libs" that say it can't possibly work (LAUGHER CURVE LOLERZ!!), but the results show otherwise - investments that these "ricj people" make come back around to actually help the lower wage earners by new jobs, etc. It's pretty hard to argue with actual results and not some theory of why it can't work. jesus man it was a joke that's why the smiley face was at the end of it. Anyways, I don't think any of us has ever said or ever will say it can't possibly work, more that for the last 8 years the tax cuts haven't brought in greater revenue so they've been unaccounted for. So unless McCain is going to detail anything he's going to cut or decide whether he believes in supply side or balancing the budget, I don't see how we're supposed to take him credibly.. Because his laughable, "well, we're going to win the war, so that's 30 billion right there" stuff isn't real.

THANK YOU BELTRE

this affects my political vote.

if my wallet's not on me it's because I lost it. So that's why I take it everywhere. except running I guess but even then I know it's in my jeans.

I didn't like the walkmen live, but if you like their new album, shot I guess.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) So, it's ok for ahb to be childish and stupid, but not the RNC? Got it. actually, yeah. You'd like to see a huge organization and presidential candidate show a little bit more maturity than an over the top poster on a baseball message board. Well, I'd like to see. I know I have high standards though.

Wonderful speech by Michele "uppity black (muslim?) woman who hates america" Obama.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 12:20 AM) I said nothing of the party website. I fail to see your point. let me re-create a day on soxtalk: ahb2008: I can't believe this RNC would do this this is childish and stupid responder : oh well you do it all the time how are you complaining blah blah Clearly the difference is one is talking about a political party or media organization or political player with huge audiences and scopes, and one writes on a message board.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) Um, by most accounts, based on his LIMITED voting record, he's pretty damn far left. one account.

what did you write the speech on?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) 99.9 percent of Sox fans thought the Sox would be 1.5 games out of first right now. during the first half of that game i was certainly worried the wheels were falling off.

It's so much easier to love AJ than it is to hate him. Everyone should join in.

but I have to say, man it is soooo frustrating seeing our infield play so poorly. OC is just driving me crazy. We played so fundamentally poor today.

what a win. How huge!

before Paulie got up to bat I said "it will erase everything you've done this year if you just get me a hit" so now I'm #1 paulie fan.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) I agree its childish and petty, but frankly, you've been pouncing on every McCain gaffe with that same gusto. and once again, there's a difference between a message board and the party's web site. The inability for so many posters to differentiate the two is pretty funny.

we need linebrink back very much. April/may linebrink

Thome on.

why are we so bad defensively? Someone answer me that? We shouldn't be.

I'm furious right now.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) How's that pathetic exactly? That's pretty much to be expected. the media coverage about how he said "the next presid, vice president of the united states" was ridiculous. Yes everyone, Barack was really just a Biden strategy to win the presidency.

The whole bankruptcy bill really hurts Biden in my mind. But his occasional brilliant quips "noun, verb, 9/11" make up for his verbal gaffes and he is probably the best democrat in terms of foreign policy in the senate, and it's a senate seat that wouldn't be in danger. Richardson's supposed womanizing would have eliminated him.

meh, my mistake then. I can go pull up the go-to "why isn't Obama leading by more" "why does Obama have trouble with working class whites" Times articles.
