The concept of military chain of command should be ignored or eliminated by allowing senior military officers on active duty to publically give their personal opinions of US policy and it's effectiveness. They should also be able to report directly to the President, rather going through a chain of command. Hmmmm..... not a good sign of things to come, I think. Ok. I hereby vow to make an earnest attempt to get off the politics ...... for about 2 years. Note: "earnest attempt" Eisboch I watched that interview. You have both parts wrong. MMmdmemm .s...aa ahhh... "Earnest attempt" Eisboch |

for about 2 years. Note: "earnest attempt" Frogwatch wrote: Arguing politics is fun, even when it is OT. I admit, I have broken my promise not to do so but I'll try to resist. It's OT but this is usenet. As long as the main focus of the majority of one's posts are boating related, then it shouldn't be a problem. The problem is caused by the people (and we have seen who most of them are) who rarely or never post about boats and who constantly try to start flame wars. It doesn't matter if their chosen cyber-cudgel is politics or spaghetti. Just don't be one of "those" people! DSK |

Unfortunately, you picked a reform that is needed. Social Security. Quit giving all our children's money to the older generation now. SS was never the national retirement system. Let us hope that Pelosi does not try to be vinductive, The country wants improvements, not witch hunts. It may not be a national retirement system, but it was signed into law by FDR during the depression to encourage older folks to retire and give up their jobs to the younger generation. Contrary to some popular belief, it was never intended to be "temporary". Eisboch But even FDR said that people needed to have their own savings also. And it was the "Widows and childrens act" originally to protect those left behind when the working age person left life behind. As a small businessman, I have to fund my own retirement system, why cant everyone else? Stop whining that you dont have a pension, i dont either and never expected one. If you dont put enough away for retirement, its your own fault.. You have had the opportunity, if you didnt do it, dont whine. "As a small businessman, I have to fund my own retirement system, why cant everyone else?" Just when you think you've seen the dumbest possible comment in this newsgroup, along comes someone who lowers the level further. "Why can't everyone else?" Some people in their lifetime don't earn enough to put a nickel away. Some people's life savings are wiped out when they are hit by medical emergencies. Some people are wiped out when their pension fund is misused by their employer. And so forth. Got it now? You are aware that city and states are also looking for ways to reduce and even in some cases, eliminate, their pension responsibilities? Our provincial gov't just avoided a threatened strike by health care workers over pension contributions. The province (same as my former employer) was taking premium holidays when the plan was doing well. Now the province has to put in it's fair share. |

The Republicans let us down..........they did not support conservative views....they did not control spending.......they moved to the old time extreme right abandoning conservatives. The ball is now in their court. Bush will give them all the rope they want as evidenced by the Rumsfeld *resignation*. They will either hang themselves or prove that the change was good for the Country. The next 2 years will indeed be interesting. BTW: I wish we would do away with Republican/Democrat political titles and start voting strictly on worth of the candidate. From the sound of your last sentence you don't vote for a candidate but for the "party" of your choice. It's impossible for *all* the most qualified candidates to be from the same party. |

Go look in the "Interesting Documentary" thread.and view my post in that thread on 11/05/06 at 11:02 a.m. Hmmm? Now go directly to jail and do not collect $200 when passing Go. How you were able to come to your conclusion based on my reply above (to NOYB) proves you are indeed psychic. So what is my birthday? ROTF! |

Note the baseline you are inheriting: as of today: A 4.4% unemployment rate (I believe that is the lowest in over a decade), record stock market levels, gasoline around $2/gallon and a booming economy. Most importantly..........no terrorist attacks on US soil since 9-11. I hope your party succeeds in improving all of these conditions. The ball is soon in your court. :-) Inherited? President Idiot is still in residence at 1600 Penn. When there's a Dem in there, you can start your clock. Are you conceding that conditions will worsen with the Dems in power? Too many variables for your pin job. So the House and Senate are not responsible for conditions related to the US unemployment rate, Homeland security and the economy? |

Too many variables for your pin job. So the House and Senate are not responsible for conditions related to the US unemployment rate, Homeland security and the economy? What? Do I need to restate my questions? We have an executive, a legislative, and a judicial branch of government. The executive makes the decisions, and can approve or not approve legislation with a pen, and pay attention to or ignore judicial opinions with "signing statements" Congress can provide oversight and investigate. Nice try. A Presidential veto can be overturned by the Congress. Considering your statement to be correct I guess you saying that the economy, record stock market levels and unemployment rates during the Clinton years were the result of the Republican controlled Congress. Correct? The US employment rate is a farce; it is padded with "crap" jobs these days. Was it also a farce during the Clinton years? |
