Who knew? 😀

Boehner called Cruz the most miserable SOB he vet met in his life. "Lucifer in the flesh"!

Google it. I don't know how to copy links w the iPhone.

I keep hearing liberals say how good the economy is.
The stock market is up and unemployment is down they say.

Ok, the economy is fine for me.  Things look good for me.  So I should believe them, shouldn't I.

But there are fewer people working than ever.  Wages have stagnated. 
Too many people can't survive without government assistance.  I see these as bad things.

But I'm a conservative so I  don't care about poor people (at least that's what I read in the paper).

And aren't liberals the one's that are supposed to worry about the poor people?  Then why do they keep singing the praises of an economy that squashes the life and respectability out of poor people?

You can't fix a problem until you admit there is a problem.  Government Assistance (or as I call them; government dis-incentive programs) are not fixing anything.  They merely permit the poor to exist slightly above squalor, but if those poor people try to improve, they lose all that assistance.  Most can't or wont' take that risk.

Liberals even admit that things like raising the minimum wage will hurt the very poorest because they will be put of reach of any job.  Why is that ok with them?

Huge corporations (Apple, IBM, Google, GE etc) have trillions of dollars off-shore that they wold have to pay 40% taxes on if they repatriate that money.  So they don't.  Why would liberals prefer that money to stay out of our economy rather than allowing those corporations to keep it if they bring it back?

I think I have the emotional capability of being a liberal if they could bring logic and practicality to the table.  A rich  economy can take care of the poor.  But a government that tries to drive a wedge between the rich and the poor is going to see a great divide between the rich and the poor.  Which is EXACTLY what we have today.

Of course, I don';t usually believe a word they say.  They are almost as bad as MSNBC and making shit up.

But it does make sense.

Amazing.

That  ship looked tiny.

Just a comment here.  I'm sure it won't change anyone's posting behavior.

But I tend to ignore links to news stories that do not include some sort of personal opinion attached and some sort of reasoning for me to open that link.  A short quote from the article or video and a comment about it will be much more likely to get me to click on a link.

I moved about 5 miles away to a new house.  Same City, Same Zip.
I changed my address with credit cards, driver's license, auto registration, magazines, FAA, health insurance . . .

It was that last one that pissed me off.  It wasn't my insurance company, but they said I also had to change my address with the Market Place. 

I always hate using that web site so I decided to call them  I was on hold for around 4 minutes, and the entire call took around 18 minutes (the iphone reports total time).  Just to change my address they had to ask a million questions, including whether I was currently incarcerated, of any anyone in my family was incarcerated.  I had to listen to several very long disclaimers about how it is a Federal crime to use the system fraudulently and I had to agree each time.  They had to verify that my name is the same as on my SS card (which I haven't seen in 30 years).  The questions just went on and on.

We paid some telephone operator a quarter of an hour pay to change one address.  That might only be a few bucks, but how many times a day does that get repeated.  And why do they need to know if I am in jail in order to change my address?

Where I work, we used to have a really smart guy as a financial analyst.  He saved our company tens of millions of dollars. (we weren't a billion dollar company yet).  He found clauses in contracts that some of our vendors were actually embarrassed to have pointed out to them, and which they would remove.

HE was really smart, just like Cruz.

He was so smart that at one point, he was offered the CFO job, but he turned it down because he knew he wouldn't be able to deal with the responsibilities as well as he could deal with the numbers and the contracts.  So he turned it down.

In that regard, he was smarter than Cruz.  He knew that he was good a finding problems.  But he wasn't so good at working with other people.

I just don't think Cruz would be effective as President.  I think he would melt down faster than a snowflake in summer.

Trump has thin skin too.  But I still think he is more suited for the job than Cruz.  I even think Hillary or Bernie would be more psychologically suited for the job than Cruz.  I just think they would be great at destroying us, rather than themselves.

They are two people I greatly admire.

I just think they are dead wrong about Trump.  And Cruz.

But I would still vote for 'Gimp for President if he would run.
