QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) Yeah, that bloated military industrial complex which is doing 10 times as much with about 2/3rds of the people. Paying up to get our people the best equipment doesn't make the military bloated. You and people like you just love to talk out of both sides of your mouth. One side of your mouth is yelling for more body armor for the troops and the other side is wanting to cut billions from the defense budget. Wow. 10 times the results with 2/3 the people. And Republcans complained when Clinton cut the military, they said it couldn't be done. Gotta have faith in the military. Kind of like people that claim there is waste in all areas of the government, EXCEPT, the military. Maybe not cutting taxes would make it easier to pay for all this. But that isn't the Republican plan, you have to give everyone a tax cut while spending more money. That's fiscally responsible as long as you can convince people someone else (not anyone wealthy) will pay for it later.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) So if someone works their ass off, makes sacrifices to become successful they should be boned because they got ahead. Lets penalize you for being successful. You make more money you can afford it. So they shouldn't pay any taxes? Or they should pay the taxes that Bush thinks is correct? Who is going to pay to run the government then? We are running up these huge debts, if we cut the taxes of those Americans with the most resources, shall we take more from those making $30,000?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) Typical liberalism right there. Lets take from the producers and give it to the non-producers. Typical GOP, let's not pay for anything, run up huge debts to foreign banks, and pretend that someone else will come in and pay for it. We are giving it to Iraq (a non-producer) care to stop that huge expense?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) There is a better way. How about we leave the tax cuts for those who affect the economy. The small business owner who will get boned if Dems try to repeal Bushes tax cuts. Lets penalize those who make a buck, because its the democratic way. Capitalism and not socialism is the better way. How is not paying taxes capitalism? How about balancing the budget instead of buying votes by promising you money and benefits? If a candidate paid each voter $50 he'd be in jail, if he promises to give everyone $50 in tax cuts and have someone else pay for it, he's a genious. Somebody had to pay for those cuts, with interest and it's going to be you and me. We pay taxes to pay for our government, we don't collect taxes to stimulate the economy. Let's not pay for anything, let's borrow trillions of dollars, that's the Republican way. Amazing that now it's the Democrats that want to balance a budget and the Republicans that keep promising someone else will pay the taxes in the future.

Dammit, picking two was tough. I want to create a sock puppet and add Shook me all night long.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Oh this is soooooooooo typical of them. Bush sucks..........Bush sucks........Bush sucks........ That is soooooooooo typical of the "out party". The GOP tossed a lot of mud at Clinton, in case you forgot. The business of politics isn't much different from either party.

idiot. She was arrested as part of a group. It really pains me when extremists try to hijack the party.

So then he's screaming COME ON TIMO, COME ON TIMO!! or So this is Konerko stealing a base . . .

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) But shouldn't the "biggest player in the game" show a little more respect for the "biggest event" in his game? Shouldn't the "biggest player in the game" including a Super Bowl victory, know what is expected and accepted from a player during this time? Maybe, even more than fans on a message board? I haven't heard any players complaining.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 04:42 PM) THESE ARE ALL LIES!!!!! LIES MADE UP BY THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!! Nuke, read it again, I know it's a reflex to call the media liers, but this one is against the Dems.

Thank God no one here believes anything in the media

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) I call it a bus driver, but that's just me. Of the poll choices, I'd have to go with Jager or Other. As I said in the other recent booze-related thread, I love C2H5OH in all its wondrous forms. Out of curiosity, Tex, how do you drink your Pimm's? With lemonade or a classic Pimm's cup? And are you the only one in your little slice of heaven who drinks it? Pimms and soda usually. And yes, I am the only one around here I know that even heard of it.

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 09:10 AM) Summed up my thoughts exactly. Gracias! Here's what needs to be done with Congress ---> Take heart in . . . citizens care = impact on elections impact on elections = leaders care citizens care = leaders care It's the only way to remain confident and sane in our leadership.

I attended a bull fight in Mexico. I appreciated some of the pagentry and the athleticism of the bull fighters. Then at some point, I realized the slaughter that was about to happen, and it didn't seem so cool anymore.

From the Bull Charges Spectator thread QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 08:21 AM) "Hey, these are REALLY good seats.......WHAT THE f***??!!?!?!?!?!!!!" The news reported later that night that the bull who charged the stands was a White Sox fan named El Toro Ligue....

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 08:27 AM) I am so far out of the hard stage it isn't even funny... I am too damned old for the rest of it. reading between the lines . . . maybe you need to "see alice"

QUOTE(Wong & Owens @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 07:55 AM) Because the average citizen really has no idea what the Fed does, so therefore they don't care about him. QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 08:10 AM) So therefore our reps and senators shouldn't either? citizens don't care = no impact on election no impact on election = no interest from officials Amazing how that works And SS, I agree with you, this will have more impact on the average American than a Supreme Court Justice.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 08:01 AM) Tangueray. I'm a gin and tonic guy. I was a Beefeater guy. I use to drink regularly with a coworker who prefered Tangueray. If the server switched them, we both would know instantly and just slide them across the table.

QUOTE(thedoctor @ Jan 30, 2006 -> 05:46 PM) he could just as easily said no comment. Then he isn't fan friendly. Leagues want players to be good to the fans through the media. They fine players for not reporting for manditory media days etc. It's a no win for Favre.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 31, 2006 -> 07:24 AM) I know. It's been a bad month. I'm going to press my luck and go for 5. As an out of towner, they could paint those seats pink, and I'd love to be able to sit in them a couple dozen times a summer, like I use to.
