QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 20, 2011 -> 03:01 PM) No, that Newt had his ringtone sent to Dancing Queen for Frank, because Frank is gay. haha, that's pretty good. i might have to reconsider and vote for Newt after all.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 18, 2011 -> 03:21 PM) He's having an impressively solid meltdown this week. very impressive indeed.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) It's a long standing problem in IT from the point of view of the college graduate (is what I meant), especially in my area. I work with firewalls and perimeter security, and getting into this area of focus was pure luck as I had no prior experience with firewalls. Nobody will even think about hiring a security engineer without experience, and there are no "junior" level security positions...at least there have been none of them at any company I've ever worked for...and being able to get experience is next to impossible unless someone decides to teach you. I don't necessarily disagree with it, it is what it is...experience trumps education. But that said, it's a problem for college graduates in the IT industry...because it's one of the few industries that really doesn't care about college degrees...and it never really has. Counter example, you'll never meet a dentist, doctor, chemist, etc...without a college degree. depends. top software engineering companies (microsoft, IBM, google, ect) take education very serious. computer science degree from a top school is important. the financial industry also will pay to get top computer science grads.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 09:00 PM) Despite the healthcare thing? I think so. If he plays it right, he might be able to write it off as just good for Mass and not for the country. the tea party will probably come out really strong against him though.

Texsox must be very happy with this news http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/...eam_109894.html

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 17, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) That is a ton of money this early in the season. Romney is definitely the front runner

I would vote for Tom Tancredo. maybe.

haha. what a great game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) I'm seriously interested in seeing how this race goes. I don't have a clue where it's going. I don't even know who's genuinely going to run. I never would have believed Gingrich would enter until he actually entered. it will be interesting. the field seems pretty weak right now for the GOP

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) Somebody has to pay for Sears's new headquarters. Who's going to do that, Sears? well, just as long as it's totally overpriced then i'm fine with paying for it. maybe start a special bonus fund for the executives too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) The solution of course is to have no business taxes and triple what you pay don't forget to increase spending too.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 9, 2011 -> 07:49 PM) Is it crony capitalism when Sears is only there in the first place because of a tax break? Or if they flee to another state for that state's tax break? even more of a reason not to raise taxes.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 9, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Sears considers leaving Illinois Quinn is an idiot. of course, after raising taxes, he'll give out a s*** load of tax cuts to select companies. crony capitalism.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 6, 2011 -> 03:29 PM) Sadly, all that does is point out that Osama got exactly what he wanted out of those attacks. It's always been about numbers, not death tolls, with him. I can't disagree with this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2011 -> 02:28 PM) Really man, there's no way to make that statement sound good any more. what if he had 2 muslim friends?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 04:25 PM) You guys seem like the type who would benefit from this site. http://tinyurl.com/2fl9gzk (Profanity in the website title so I used tiny) lol one of them 'Assigned First Chief Technology Officer'. The guy Obama assigned is an idiot and doesn't seem to have any purpose.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 11:13 AM) I don't know that they are. I've been somewhat surprised at how the people I thought would form the intelligent faction have just given up and let the Tea Party side take over everything. the old GOP sucked. I like the new tea party GOP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 26, 2011 -> 08:07 AM) I mean, 1/2 of the Republican party believes Obama wasn't born in the United states, and the guy leading the early Presidential polls for the party has decided to go the full-bore racist path. You at least gotta admit, you didn't see that coming. Obama should release his transcripts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 08:42 PM) The government of Mexico has retained an American law firm and is apparently considering filing a civil suit we should countersue.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 07:43 AM) China's creating jobs the same way the U.S. was creating jobs in 2006. Would you care to go into more detail? I'm not sure where you going with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 07:44 AM) In case you don't recognize the name of that author. I did recognize the name also, i'll write a book review here in the GOP thread if I do buy it.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 09:27 PM) I hate this country. haha
