+1 or even +100. The problem, as you well know, is that politico's cannot decide on what to stop spending/wasting money on, or whose taxes to cut. There must be a compromise, a word that the extremes don't like, but it is the only chance IMO. I don't want to pay more taxes, but I will...

Sorry, cannot prove a negative, but you knew that. c

Well, first off, thanks for tribute. I hope it doesn't start a flame war or anything. And, yes, I live my live in the real world and have done well in it. I can see why most don't reveal much about themselves here, and I will continue that trend. Suffice it to say that I still think there is a...

I wish, over 50 for sure. c

Visualize a hand shake, or high five on that one. Another point of agreement. I was 'warned' by a friend about this section of ET, but I like a challenge. And, I think, in my own little, half liberal half conservative mind, that this is a challenge and rather fun. Why else am I on here while...

Always been cgroupman, from day one. Not the coolest handle, but just something I went with. Was working with a group of traders, and the c came from citigroup. The 'c' just is just a way of closing, a leftover from school days I guess. c

Well, I am blessed, thank you. In all seriousness, if I can just see you and some others in this type of light, it will be appreciated too. Nice to have some, just a few, posts without all the name calling and silliness. Thank you for that! c

Not at all, and I really think that flag flying is a personal choice. I admit to being on the fence, I try to stay in an objective place. I don't demean anyone for their religion or their political biases. It is what it is as they say. I honestly feel that there are more of us than meets the...

Don't know any olias, must be a smart independent, rational type of guy, is that it? c:D

I guess I have to say 'yes' - maybe I would vote for RP, no Santorum for sure. Gingrich, well, even though I kind of like his bravado, couldn't vote for him. Romney is likely the guy, and I have to say, it is possible I would vote for him. I would have to see a lot more from him in the next few...

Well, we can certainly agree to disagree on this. We'll see. You can certainly gloat if I'm wrong, feel free. I've been wrong before. As I said, I didn't vote for Clinton nor Bush, so not a great voting record, lol. c

As I said, not a great comparison, but I still think you get my point. We came, we conquered, we took. By 'we' I mean the white majority while using slaves and to be honest, questionable business and employment practices. Ala the railroads, banks, farming and all that. I think Obama will...

Counseling those who don't need it might come up. The old 'assuming' that they are druggies. Many are, granted. And many may not be fit parents, good point there. Smaller government wouldn't fit this scenario as you point out above, that's for sure. Then they go after smokers (not a...

I guess they must be pretty good at 'media' - 20% being blamed for everything written or televised. I'm just kind of kidding. I get your point. But, as a business, the 'media' has to have an audience. So maybe, just maybe, there a lot of closet liberals out there hiding out? Or not...

Sorry, I have to correct the word 'half' and substitute 'have' - must have gotten caught up in the moment. c

Very nice. Although not as cool as yours, I love having about 80 trees on my immediate property. Keeps the world in perspective without having to go hiking, nice. c

King George had most of the money in England back in the day, right? Did he deserve it as well? He just took it from the people. The people got pissed off, left the Country, came here and took land and money from the locals. Not a perfect analogy, but I know you get my drift. The really...

A USA TODAY analysis of state voter registration statistics shows registered Democrats declined in 25 of the 28 states that register voters by party. Republicans dipped in 21 states, while independents increased in 18 states. The trend is acute in states that are key to next year's presidential...

But it's ok for them, because it's 'powdered' cocaine. Yeah, right. c

There you go, that explains it all. c:)
