TrophyHusband 0 #26 December 22, 2008 because whether or nor iraq was a waste is an opinion and your opinion on that subject does not validate or invalidate your opinion on banks taking our money and not telling us what they've done with it. because the subject here isn't iraq. because you've beaten that dead horse into an unrecognizable bloody heap. WE GET IT. we're well aware of your opinion on iraq. do you possibly have anything of value to add? i doubt it. keep on beating that horse.

kallend 2,230 #27 December 22, 2008 Quotehis repeated attempts to create a cover for the topic at hand is viewed as a straw man - and fully agreed the latter of your comments....the majority of his posts are exactly that.

kallend 2,230 #29 December 22, 2008 QuoteQuoteThe biggest waste of taxpayer money in the last 30 years is Iraq. That IS the defining benchmark. That's your opinion ... I would consider the War on Drugs to be the biggest waste of taxpayer money in the last 30 years. Good point. I can accept that.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

normiss 917 #30 December 22, 2008 I'm comfortable with my understanding of the term, thanks. Given how you love to waste our time, I'm good with my perspective on that as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that's a different question altogether. As far as I can see the bankers are making out like gangbusters while not using the money for the intended purpose....

TrophyHusband 0 #38 December 23, 2008 well fuck, now we're in agreement. what, if anything can or should be done about it? before the bailout, i called my congressman and told him (actually the girl that answered the phone) that i was against the bailout and that if he voted for it, he would lose my vote. he voted for it, and i kept my word. i actually voted for a democrat. i would continue to vote against him, but i won't live here in two years.
