I don't want one cent of taxpayer $$ going to another industry. Fuck that. Let capitalism run its course. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

An should the State be the one setting that definition, Sir John? I think not. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

And you have twisted windcatcher's words for your own use via your partial quotation - with a personal attack in your prelude. This is a really stupid issue. I think the greed of the State long ago caused this. What business does the State have in a religious sacrament? Marriage is considered a sacrament by the Catholic church and I believe other churches as well. The State imposed a marriage license for cashola and tax purposes. One might consider that a law affecting an establishment of religion. If a Church were to consider a couple married, regardless of sex, then what right would the State have to legislate that away? Lawrocket - what do you think? Because 'marriage' in the eyes of the State uses the same nomenclature as a religious sacrament - the word 'marriage' itself, it strikes a chord with some Christians. I think they should recall that marriage within the bounds of the Church and the State are two separate things. Kind of like sharing a name in a way. John Brown and John Lancaster (fictitious characters just invented by moi) for example - should John Brown care if I say, in obvious reference to John Lancaster, 'John is a dumbfuck coward moron sonofabitch!!!!' or should he realize it's not directed at him and not give a rat's ass? As it currently stands, I think the State has no business defining words. The energy those folks spent in Prop 8's writing/passage could have been better spent educating idiots about the evils of credit card debt. That would have been somewhat useful to society.

Olbermann is normally a bullshit spewing loudmouth who doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. First saw him a few weeks ago and was stunned by what a fucktard he was making of himself on MSNBC. This, though, was a pretty good spiel from him. Guess he isn't full of shit all the time. Quite well done in most regards.

ROFLMFAO! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You really, really, really need to start reading up on facts prior to posting. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

She turned out quite well. Keep her in mind - you haven't seen the last of her. Since you brought her up - I'll restate this: if she had been afforded the same courtesy Obama was by the MSM, she'd have a MUCH better standing in the eyes of many. It is impossible for any literate human to place Charlie Gibson's questions of her beside those he asked of Sen. Obama and conclude he was unbiased. It cannot be done. Period. Your insinuation about GWB and OBL is absurd in every regard. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

AB-FUCKING-SURD! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Let me get this straight - you REALLY think the reason OBL hasn't been caught is because the Bush family has ties to the Saudis? Gimme a fucking BREAK! Absurd. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Given that I support the legalization of marijuana (though I've never used it; odd for a Kentuckian), I'd like to see him pardon every non-violent marijuana-related offender in the country. That would be huge.

Maybe he could un-pardon Marc Rich. I think Libby will be pardoned - and I support that. I HOPE he doesn't pardon Duke Cunningham or Ted Stephens.

Dead? With 48% of the vote in an economic downturn as the incumbent party with an unpopular President in office? Dead? In your dreams alone. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Yep! Obama is the President Elect and the DemoKKKrats have a majority in both the House and the Senate. Disliking the aforementioned isn't going to make them go away. Never stated otherwise. How about answering my queries... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Short people rock. I didn't really get a good jumpsuit until I got one made by this AWESOME lady up in Seattle. Hehehe. She even fed me apple pie after I tried it on. Gear is out there, you just have to be patient and look for it. Don't let Post-Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome get you down - it gets to me sometimes. Short power! Short power!

A 'I can't comment on those issues because it forces me to face certain realities about my positions I am not prepared to deal with at this time' would have been a much more accurate answer. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think we've a credit card debt crisis that will shortly follow the mortgage one. I think in four years the economy will likely be better, but it won't be because of President Obama. Rather, it will be because of the easing of the credit crunch that will occur because of the horrible bailout that just went through. The mortgage crisis will likely continue for another couple of years. The problems need to work their way out of the system and as that occurs, the economy will improve. The Congress and the President could do much to improve it - and to harm it as well. We shall see. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

How horrible. The Russian submarine service has seen a lot of tragedy over the past decade. This and the Kursk. Have to feel for those sailors. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You're spoiling his attempt to redirect the thread so he can avoid such questions! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

By style and reputation, he'll probably be a good choice for CoStaff. He seems to have the personality for it, at any rate. Inside from the Clintonista era. Doesn't fit the 'change' mantra, but he would probably do well. I hope he's not Borked and gets a floor vote in the Senate rather quickly. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Ahh! You DON'T want to discuss it. I see. Wealth is earned - not distributed. Deal with it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

The revisionist here appears to be you, by dodging my questions and redirecting. My 'anyone with a three digit IQ' comment referred to Cabinet nominations. The Dem's Borking was goat-fuck stupid and should have been an embarrassment to them. You obviously didn't want to discuss that. Ashcroft ring a bell? I recall GWB's Cabinet nominees and the Dem response. You apparently don't. I do call for a floor vote for all Judicial nominees. Again here, the Borking - in particular of appellate court nominees - was absurd and should embarrass those who took part. Pickering ring a bell? How about opposing a nominee because he's Hispanic? But you don't want to discuss that, do you? Vice address my points, you then listed some foolish things some republicans did (I assume so; hadn't heard of some of them) to embarrass themselves. Threatening the 'nuclear' option to force a floor vote isn't embarrassing to them in my book, rather to the Dems for holding one up for a judicial nominee (see above). Now - how about actually addressing my points. And for the record, my disgust at morons embracing Karl Marx over Adam Smith isn't going away.

Most interesting, Sir John. Cute, in fact. Perhaps next time you should try reading my post prior to responding to it. Then again, perhaps you actually did read it but not carefully. Or perhaps in my current state of disgust I'm not thinking clearly. Let's examine my thought process and see if that is indeed the case. - I call for the GOP not to 'Bork' President-elect Obama's Cabinet nominations. How, exactly, is that a bad thing? Granted, anyone with a three digit IQ would be able to recall the Democrats and their response to President Bush's nominations and think 'fucking idiots' about your beloved party, but as I stated - a President should be able to nominate the Cabinet of his choice. Don't you want a non-Bork-esque nomination process for President-elect Obama, John? - I call for a floor vote for all judicial nominees - just as I did under President Bush. Please, dear John, by all means tell us how that's being partisan against the newly elected President? Perhaps it's that your utterly embarrassed - rightfully so - by the actions of the Democrats under President Bush and yearn for Republicans to reciprocate in kind by making utter fools of themselves? Is that it, Sir John? - I want workers to retain the right to a secret ballot when voting for unionization in the workplace. Do you not respect that right, Sir John? Do worker's rights mean little or nothing to you, perhaps? - I desire freedom of speech on the air-waves. Should advertisers be forced to pay for programming content with which they disagree, Sir John? Would you think the ACLU would agree, Sir John? - I don't believe achievement should be punished. Do you, Sir Kallend? - Do you believe that more government in gov't schools would be a good thing? Given their smashing success as compared with other nations? By all means, Sir John - please tell us how I'm being partisan and thwarting the 'will of the people' here. - Please, dear Kallend, enlighten us on how nuclear power and drilling for oil on our own lands would be a bad thing. Quite eager to hear your thoughts, old boy. Please, Dear John, enlighten us as to your own thought processes on these rather simple matters. Yours in disgust, and one HOT DAMNED SEXY BIATCH,

Therein lies the problem. Intellect is extremely difficult to quantify, even if it is a desirable quality in a voter. I do think it clear that the founding fathers did NOT want everyone to vote. Part of the reason they designed a constitutional republic vice a democracy. Granted, the right to vote is not enshrined in the Constitution but one can easily deduce that from state constitutions and writings of the era. Today, I think a fundamental knowledge of mathematics, civics, economics, and current events would be a fine requisite for voting, but how to test that in a fair way would be a rather difficult thing to devise.

Leave it to the States. I'd prefer passing an intelligence test of sorts be required, in addition to US citizenship.
