I stopped eating chicken the day I wen tot a poultry processing plant.

When I was a child, a neighbor owned a chicken processing plant and I was once taken there.

I think what I saw may have had an effect on my vegetarianism going forward.

Lots of chicken and turkey plants here in N GA. Both Karen and I find getting behind the trucks full of birds on their last ride quite depressing and disgusting.

But That's Just Us! An admitted minority to be sure.

I want to like Carson - seems like a genuinely nice person.

But...

1) His comments on evolution seemed to be pandering. Unless he is a creationist, which would also concern me. But that's a topic deserving of its own thread.

2) In one debate he would not come down as opposed to torture, also possibly pandering.

3) His health care fix seemed poorly conceived and shifting on last Sunday's talk shows.

I do like Fiorina, but she seems to have trouble gaining/maintaining momentum.

But I'd vote for any of them over any Democrat. Except Trump - if he's the nominee, I'd probably sit this one out

You may not want to remember this, but the budget was balanced under Clinton. It was Bush, with his massive tax cuts for the rich and his many wars that blew up the dept. Same thing happened under Reagan. You'll also not want to remember how Cheney replied, "deficits don’t matter."

You may not want to remember this, but we're 7 years under Obama at this point.

Debt up from $10.6 trillion to probably $19 trillion by the time he leaves office, with a Democratic congress for much of his term. An inconvenient truth.

Ummm...

Get over it?

OTOH, how much will the price of a Ford go up, and what kind of competitive disadvantage does that put them in?

disclaimer: I own some Ford stock and I want them to do well.
