if I were president
I agree with your proposal about legislators.

On legislation:
l, 2, and 3. No way. You are way off base.
4. Worthy of discussion.
5 and 6. I agree.
7. has merit. Needs discussion and refinement.
8 and 9. I agree.

On immigration. Makes as much sense as most of the "stuff" I've read.

This proves that you can agree with the opposition on a lot of things.

The Real T***h About G****l W*****g

I've always said Townhall is a Heritage Foundation fraud. One of its main functions is to get Americans to cooperate in their own demise by gutting the EPA and getting the public to view clean water and clean air through the lens of the Koch (we-don't-need-no-c****e-health-rules-brothers). The Heritage Foundation is little more than an advocacy front for the corporate rape of the American landscape. Have these folks ever met a strip mine that they didn't view as a national treasure???



Clean water. Clean air. The children of tomorrow will think these are fairy tales dreamed up by their grandparents. My grandson, who has skin problems, has moved in with me because the water where my son lives hurts his skin.

Obama And The Debt Ceiling Are Both Full Of Crap
I was talking personal tax rates not corporate. The more I try to understand these, the more confused I get. Why do we tax businesses anyway? Oh yes, so tax lawyers and accountants have a job.

Obama And The Debt Ceiling Are Both Full Of Crap
The Tea Party has one good idea. Balance the budget. I strongly object to the way they want to do it. For instance, the farm bill. It was okay to pay farmers not to work (not to plant their land) but not okay to give food stamps to people who could not find a job. Abuse here? Of course, but they want to punish the many for the abuse of the few.

I'm too lazy to go back and check my sources for exact numbers, but when Eisenhower started the interstate highway system the top tax rate was about 70%. Kennedy put a man in space on about 60% (and he complained the rate was too high). We are about 40% now and can't even fix the pot holes.

I might just pull it off
A gun would not have ben my preference for a gift, but it beats what his female office companions suggested--a crock pot. I wanted a joiner. Woodworking was my passion--not cooking.

When you take the word of i***ts over that of the Navy who gave him those Medals it proves what a illiterate gullible moron you are. You're so dumb you probably think the Navy didn't check out the reports that lead them to give him his medals.

You really are stupid if you believe the crap you posted. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
