3. Well, not voting will get you fewer Democrats in office

if that's what you want.

[4dsc]

7. We don't need more democrats in office

we need stronger democrats in office. Ones that are not afraid of the GOP.

[Cleita]

16. We have strong Democrats, but with fewer of them,

they can't do anything.

13. Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM)?????

or IBM - Test Lab Management - Rational Test Lab Manager - Software

If it's the former, that's probably waaaaaaaay beyond my "pay grade" at the moment....to understand what's truly happening in Rwanda, when I don't even entirely understand what is happening in Wisconsin!!!!

If it's the latter, I don't understand that either....

.... but I am trying to understand. Flippant arrogant answers like your reply to me doesn't help AT ALL people who are trying to KNOW and UNDERSTAND. MOST people won't *search* or follow a link. You've got to give it to them....teach it to them, slowly.

Why didn't you just directly answer my question? It wasn't very difficult.

[BillyJack]

I think most of us who are trying to pay attention have learned that.....

It doesn't matter what letter a candidate has behind his/her name.......if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

4. But - hey -don't forget what Obama said - he also gave huge taxcuts.

:puke:

[gratuitous]

6. As long as Charlie Sheen doesn't pay more taxes

Duh - Winning!

[Kablooie]

9. If last year we spent $53, with this new budget we would only spend $52.

That's the proportion of savings they are talking about.

And if the national debt was $432, our savings would be $1 this year.

[bullwinkle428]

11. Nice way to frame it, but doesn't it really come down to who

misses out on that $1 from the total pie of $53?

[BillyJack]

14. Yes, it does matter - GREATLY.....b/c you can be d*mn sure the 1% don't lose even a dollar

or a fraction of a percent.

It's only us peons who don't realize "the math" and let these kock-suckers get away with all 9 of the cookies while we "peons" fight for the one left-over.

[iemitsu]

15. no cuts for the small guy

until the tax cuts for the rich expire.
