It's Nice and Quiet

[RKON]

Is it me or has anyone else noticed how quiet and civil it has been on the wreck the past week or so??

Even Genghis Khan stopped for a breather every now and then.

Not all of us. Some of us have to stay home and make money so we can pay the bills the Republicans are running up.

Yeah. Real woodworkers are genuine gentlemen. And don't ask me why, they just are.

When people ask me if I am a Dem or a Rep I reply neither. I'm a taxpayer !!

^^^^^^^^^^^ You misspelled "all politicians" there, Charlie.

Tax and spend, borrow and spend, it's all the same. What we _need_ are politicians that don't spend, but that would require that a new party come to prominence.

You just can not help yourself, can you Charlie.

[Dave Hinz]

He didn't start bringing politics into it...

[Swingman]

Some of you really need to get your political panties untwisted so you can begin to appreciate the lighter side of life.

[Tom Veatch]

I fear that even that would only be a temporary solution. What is really needed is some way to ensure that the politicians of any political party cannot buy reelection votes with our tax money - pork barrel projects, various give-away and entitlement programs, and the whole idea of government being the be-all, end-all solver of (meddler in?) all problems.

But I do agree with the subject of this thread. Except for one or two flareups, looks like the fires are out. So quiet it's kinda scary!

Really? One suggestion: since you've lost your sense of humor, which Swingman seems not to have done...ah, piss on it. I remember back when I was a Republican and the only thing funny was something that was sad for someone else.

You sound like you're still a closet Republican. EARNING money? Working?

With the tax cut, you can even keep a bit more ... for now.

[TeamCasa]

Sorry Charlie, I thought it was pretty funny!

I see you are quoting Eisenhower now. Didn't he order the secret overthrow of Iran's government and Mosaddeq? Operation Ajax?

Funny how history repeats itself.

See, I do have a sense or humor!

"Normally" the switch goes the other way as we age, right?

Wasn't it Winston who said "A man under 30 who is not a liberal, has no heart. And a man over thirty who is not a conservative, has no brain."

I guess it likely depends on the candidate each party puts forth.

[NoOne N Particular]

I find it odd that people complain about the bills the R's are running up, but it STILL isn't enough for the D's.

P.S. Cut the federal budget by 50% for a start.

[Doug Miller]

Why stop there? If the government spent only for the purposes authorized by the Constitution, several entire cabinet departments would cease to exist, and spending would drop by a *lot* more than just 50%.
