Just going in and saying "cut everything 5%" is the plan of the lazy and people who don't understand how to run a solid business. running an annual 2 trillion dollar defict is done by people whom not only do not realize how to run a solid business, but lack common sense in general. this is a shot at the GOP as well, they f***ed up bad. a lot of this debt goes back to GW bank bailouts he rushed through.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 12:46 PM) You're talking about the F-35 I think. The question wasn't F-22 or no F-22, it was stop at the amount we have or make more. Defense spending at its current pace is/was sustainable. government spending at it's current pace is not sustainable.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) Take your choice - job cuts or wasteful spending. Because cutting ANY experimental or R&D program results in job cuts, it has to. you should oppose these cuts, as all spending is good spending. correct? edit: for the record i support the cuts, but would like to see cuts across the board.

Specter will vote for trillions more in debt. The US is going to hit -20 trillion. Doesn't really matter any more. I guess the only thing that has changed is there is no opposition or excuse for epic failure anymore.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 28, 2009 -> 12:32 PM) Guess he lost interest in fighting for issues such as teleprompters, birth certificates and Michelle Obama's arm exposure. keep getting your news from MTV2 buddy

he votes dem anyways. doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 07:50 PM) There's something poetic about this statement from Barclay's. The company they're talking about? The New York Times. ouch

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) 20% of Congress has received a DUI in the last year? That seems simply implausible. agreed. toss a few more Kennedy's into congress, then maybe it could happen.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) Who is Carl Rove? some anti-Mexico lobbyist i guess.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 03:27 PM) Texas requests help from federal government in preparing for swine flu. Federal government laughs, says "No you secessionist bastard". If only the world was that funny.... The swine flu is just a lie perpetuated by the racist anti-Mexico lobby. Probably should get some congressional hearing to look into this big time scandal. I heard the whole plot was hatched by Carl Rove and Rush Limbaugh.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 01:59 PM) I'll walk over a check. Don't want the post office driving it all over the place pumping co2 into the air. that is a very environmentally responsible decision

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 01:18 PM) What's there to keep in mind? Unless I kill myself there's no way to make zero impact on the environment but I do my best. if you are going to insist on destroying the environment you can make ammends by purchasing some carbon credits from my new 'green' business. i sell carbon offsets! just send a money order made out to cash.

Oh and this whole 'torture' scandal is coming out now as to be a distraction from the April unemployment numbers. They have known about this 'torture' stuff for years.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 08:26 AM) So we can release this, but not the minutes from board meetings that Obama administration officials attended at the banks we are giving trillions of dollars to? What a joke. that's different. Obama is a God. He does as he pleases and it is good.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2009 -> 07:42 AM) Every day is Earth day for me. No gimmicks necessary. posting on Soxtalk causes global warming, bigsqwert. just something to keep in mind.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) But, he was also one of the key votes that got $100 billion that we really could have used chopped off of the stimulus package. Give us that seat and we're at 60. I guess that wasn't good enough for his constituents. maybe he should voted against the whole thing. he was a key vote to getting that monstrosity passed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) You will care when that seat becomes competitive because Toomey can't take the General like Specter can. if i'm not mistaken, Specter voted for all the bailouts, economic stimulus plan, and big spending in general. no big loss if he's gone.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 24, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) First polling for the PA 2010 Senate Primary race (less than a year away) is in...Arlen Specter is currently being crushed by former Club for Growth head Pat Toomey (who Challenged Specter in 2004 and narrowly lost). 51-30 in favor of Toomey. 21 point lead, with Specter not just under 50, but barely above the 20's. That's an almost impossible position to recover from. no one cares. well Specter probably does, but he deserves to lose.

attack of the Obamatron! So today I was having a conversation with a colleague of mine while walking to the train, we were talking s*** about Obama and totally ripping on him. It was hilarious. Some psycho Obama worshipper (a giant obese woman of a creature) goes totally psycho. I told her she probably shouldn't be voting in the first place because I was positive she supports Obama mainly because of some celebrity endorsement she read in People magazine. This led to total rage on her part; she was so mad she was shaking. I literally thought she would die of a heart attack. But hey, she shouldn't listen in on other peoples conversations if she is prone to freak out all the time. That's just common sense. needless to say, it was f***ing awesome. and yes I know this story is pointless.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) That makes no sense. You can see his hair on Google Earth. i know, but they still wouldn't let him. something about 'could wear a hat to disguise' or somethign. sounds unfair to me.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 11:34 AM) Just read this on twitter: LOL he was probably deemed a flight risk

isn't that a Portuguese Water dog? that dog is racist and is to blame for all of south america's problems.
