    And you say this as if he's some sort of criminal. He uses the tax code to his advantage. Most people do. Certainly the 47% of people not paying in 2011 did. Do you see the paradigm? And you say this as if you can see no difference whatsoever between someone with a $multi-million trust fund who manages to avoid paying taxes, and a homeless person who has no ability to pay taxes. The homeless person isn't on the ticket. We're in agreement that the tax code needs re-vamped to prevent abuses like the Romney situation and the 47% who pay no federal tax. There's much room for improvement on both ends. But as of today neither has broken a law. So if no law has been broken it's simple class warfare. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  2. Over the years we've allowed teacher's unions too much control...According to CNN the main points the union is arguing are the same ones that people who live in the real world find lauighable. Compensation and health care benefits An increase of 4% per year over the next 4 years. 16% increase in pay. We who live in the real world laugh at this. ...funding that will freeze all employee health care contributions for single and couple plans with a small increase in family contributions of no more than $20 a pay period in addition to a small increase in emergency room co-pays," Again...$20 per pay period is laughable. Most of us out here in the real world pay $20 per day for insurance. Job security I'd love some job security...any at all. Once more the real world chuckles at the union's demands. New teacher evaluation system I can only imagine the reation of real world employers if I was to tell them that I don't agree with the system they use to evaluate my job performance. I don't think you'll find too many hard working Chicagoans who are sympathetic to the cause. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Like Romney's sons with their unearned and untaxed income. Are you saying it's illegal or are you simply jealous? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    I think it's interesting that Obama's camp are going after the over 250K folks and ignoring the 47% of the population that paid no federal taxes in 2011. I think he might get a bit more traction if he applied the 'fair share' rhetoric across the board. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  8. And you believe that's not a lie as well. I'll see your Dick Morris lie and raise you that every one of those dochebags is lying, including your hero. Take a quick look at the lies Barry laid out...gitmo, defecit cut by half, unemploymenrt below 8%, transparent gov't..... So I'll go back to what I said months ago; this election will be decided by whomever tells the most believable lies. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. You probably shouldn't comment about things you didn't listen to. It was not simply repeating the same things as said before. Nope...just a different batch of empty promises same as last time. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  12. DC3's. If you were back 12-13+ slots from the door the base was a long ways down by the time you got out, and that was if you managed to not get your shoulder knocked out of place by the frame or get kicked in the face by the guy in front of you.

  16. Do tell us... how that is! Chuck The Occupiers are the grassroots pressure group that will push the Democrats into the new 'New Deal'. Jonathan, is it difficult to keep a straight face when you say that out loud? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  17. In my business we analyze why expectations were not met and devise a plan to correct. We don't just shoot from the hip and hope the next guy does better. Why don't you enlighten us as to what "your business" is and what your role is in "your business". Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  18. You have a problem with Associated Press? www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2012/aug/29/night-two-tampa-running-mate-and-more/ factcheck.org/2012/08/republican-retreads-from-tampa/ www.tnr.com/blog/plank/106730/ryan-most-dishonest-convention-speech-five-lies-gm-medicare-deficit-medicaid Want to dispute the date the GM Janesville plant closed? www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2012/aug/29/paul-ryan/did-barack-obama-break-promise-keep-gm-plant-open/ Not at all, but your first link was an op-ed piece by Woodward.

  21. True many were involved but if you think Armstrong was just another participant you need to investigate more about the man. His work on the Gemini project that made Apollo possible. His quck thinking when a thruster jammed open during Gemini saved him and 3 others. His quick reactions ejecting when testing the prototype Lunar lander, or perhaps the fact that he had to take manual control during the landing decent and steer to a clear area, touching down safely with only seconds of fuel left. Not your average guy by any means. You've been inhaling too much Obama "You didn't build that" gas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weQEPXK6yyI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlJGQ92IgFk Please don't dent the planet.

  22. Timelessness...that can be amended. So, that's not really timeless, is it. Sure it is...unless you want to chuck the whole thing and start over. As equally divided between R's and D's as the country is it'll be snowing in hell before we see another amendment. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  24. Agreed. All we've done is fill our prisons with stoners. I'd like the opportunity to legally fire up a fatty and relax. Imagine the tax revenues. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
