Bush and His Boys

65:

A careful reading of your post reveals quite a bit about you and the "classless" comment. I am very aware that McConnell "... doesn't forget where he came from...". I am also very aware that McConnell doesn't forget what got him into the Senate in the first place. Big tobacco and big money from his corporate friends.

You are right sixfive, McConnell will take care of those who put him there which also says quite a bit about the voters of the wonderful commonwealth of Kentucky. His 1st amendment justification allowing special interest groups to continue to purchase elections in this country is laughable.

Voting for McConnell because he is "...powerful..." once again reflects the intellectual acumen of the average Kentucky voter. Using that as a guideling, I guess you would have voted for Adolph Hitler if you lived in Germany in the 30's? Maybe thats classy to vote for the powerful.

Though processes like that, and apparently yours, are very scary, sixfive. The balance of your comments are baseless. If you like being a uneducated sheep and following the powerful because he knows where he came from and how he got there, despite the corruption, thats your problem. Then again, as long as there are people who think on your base level and are able to vote, I guess its all of our problem.

"It`s time to get tough with those who sell marijuana to our most vulnerable citizens - children. . . . Clearly, we should be as tough on marijuana dealers as we are on heroin and cocaine pushers." Senator Mitch McConnell

What a joke......

Time:

In all sincerity, I love Toronto. Very cool cosmopolitan city, good looking women, lots to do, one of my favorite cities. Was up there for the Breeders Cup about 6 years ago at Woodbine and stayed in the Theatre district. Great city and I haven't met a Canadian I did not like (albeit a little to conservative in general).

By the way, Time I agree with Republican oath, if that is it. However, I know, they do not practice what they preach. One of my hero's is the most famous republican, Abraham Lincoln. Admittedly, not hard to have him as a hero. He's very unlike anything the gop has to offer today. Boy do we need someone like him now.

Scott, I really despise McConnell and his kind. They are the heart of what is wrong with this country. As long as we (the voters)reward corrupt politicians of both parties, its business as usual in this country. McConnell is one of the leaders of the corrupt. His sexual preference was mentioned to me by two sources. I mention it to emphasize his hypocrisy.

By the way 65, I hope you don't fashion yourself as a centrist. Maybe in Kentucky and other areas of the bible belt, but not in the rest of the country. I will do what I can to make sure that the moral majority becomes a unpleasant memory.

Eddie, McConnell has done a lot for the state, that's what I'm talking about. Kentucky has a voice in the Senate. There's nothing wrong for that to be A reason to vote for him. Don't u want somebody representing u that is respected and who has experience?? He was clearly the better choice in the election this year. Did u read my post and see who the alternative was in the election?? Lois Combs Weinberg, a complete idiot (talk about corrupt, she is the corrupt one). Even if I didn't want McConnell in office, I wouldn't have voted for her. Would u have voted for her??? Do u know anything about her?? Prove to me where McConnell is any more crooked than any other senator anywhere in America. They are all corrupt. That's politics, and that's a given. You don't even live in the Bluegrass, so what the heck do u care?? Don't u have people in Ohio to vote for?

I still say your comment was classless, wishing that the Mexicans would have defeated us.


I just saw your comment to me in your reply to Time. I do NOT consider myself a centrist at all. I consider myself "right wing" if the three choices are left, center, and right. I would not be offended also to be called a moral majority member. Also, I'm registered Democrat. The main reason is so I can vote in the Spring elections as there are never any Republican primaries around here. My ticket this fall was split nearly 50/50 between the 2 parties. I study the candidates and I vote for the one I feel has views closer to mine who will represent me the best and is more qualified regardless of party affiliation.

Tell me this, what personally are u doing to further your views? What charities do you contribute too? What philanthropic activities are you involved with? How much do u contribute to your local democratic party (please don't tell me you are a libertarian or I'll really have to lmao at u!), how much campaigning did you do for your candidate, how many letters have u written to your congressmen, do u vote in every election (Fall AND SPRING??)?? If u do things to further your views, then good for u, I think everybody should regardless if I agree with them or not (short of radical things like terroristic bombing). However, I have a feeling you are just a bullshitter who just bitches to his buddies at the club and writes crap at MadJack sports.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

by Eddie
"They've done the same thing by taking the right to a jury trial away from individuals, imposing caps on recovery, in favor of corporate, insurance and medical lobbiests all due to an invented and well- orchestrated litigation crisis."

Are they tugging at your purse strings Eddie?:lol:

Ya know, I think of the above every time I switch to the TV Guide channel and there stuck between the "credit repair" and "2nd mortgage" ads will be an add from one of our local (We care about you)ambulance chasers.(We have 3 which is not bad considering population of 50,000)
Fortunately bout the only programs I watch are golf,news and movie channels, which are not market targets for such ads so I don't have to hit the ole mute often.(demogaphics of ad marketing is quite interesting)

Now I can't speak on a lot of topics in this thread but am familiar
with one you mentioned,insurance. While any reform on caps will have negative effect somes pursestrings it will have a positive one on every person that pays premiums. You see,14% on all premiums come from litigation or lack of (settling out of court to avoid ). While some of the litigation is necessary and just, it might also surprise many that over 60% of litigation cost is not from lawsuits won but from those settled out of court. Some may also be surprised that many personal injury attorneys have never set foot in a courtroom. If confronted in courtroom by a competent attorney they would shake like a dog shitting peach seeds. Their income is not derived by knowledge and skill as most attorneys but by marketing and knowing the#'s that the ins co will settle for rather than go through cost of litigation.
These bottom feeders are not confined to your profession as we in the insurance industry have some of the most loathsome individuals on this planet.
Now I am kidding about "your" pursestrings Eddie because as far as I know you are in the competent crew,as I hope you are. --and if so I applaud you,as a good attorney is certainly his fee.---but as we know ALL professions,especially politicians on both the right and left ,have abuse and agenda's and we can only hope that what we get back out of life would be directly proportionate to what we put into it.

Dogs:

Nice post. Agree with most of what you said, except the numbers. I despise, more than I do McConnel, those scum bag amubulance chasers on late night tv, daytime tv and the back of the yellow pages. Makes all attorneys look like vultures.

Disagree on caps. We will have them in Ohio in a few months. I want to see how many physicians premiums drop. You and I already know the answer to that question........none. The insurance industry will argue that they are remaining steady or will rise slower than without caps.

Not necessarily true in the states which have had caps in place for a while. The bottom line is the insurance industry is making up for the weak economy by cutting costs and aiming at trial lawyers. Ain't gonna help our poor orthos and gyncologists premiums. Will just hurt the legitimately injured.

I'll raise the white flag. Insurance industry and lobbyists won the war. The reality, if you think about it, is that it erodes the right to a jury trial saying jurors are too studid to do what is right. Now government is telling us what is right. That offends me.

65. I don't know McConnels' opponent other than by your earlier post. He/she could not be worse than that scum bag. As you and I both know, the fact that you are a Kentucky democrat means nothing. Kentucky democrats are more conservative than most other states republicans.

The further fact that you are right wing and a member of the moral majority is not surprising. It was obvious from your post. Most of those who post on this board appear to have similar viewpoints as you. God knows, most people who live in the midwest are conservative republicans.

I don't really care what you think of me. I know who I am and what I stand for. I'm not going to respond to each of your silly questions other than to say I vote and support candidates who are not bought and sold like your scumball senator. I further do not support candidates who attempt to shove their particular religous beliefs down everyones throats or passes laws based on there moral and religous right wing views.

No, 65, your right-wing, moral majority viewpoints will continue to be the undoing of this country and all that it stands for. Your side has the money and continues to buffalo the middle. I just hope that the voters eventually seen the stupidty and corruption of your "buddies" Bush, McConnel and DeLay.

You are both classless and clueless. Its very apparent you are in bed with your senator.

xxxoooo

That's what I thought, Eddie. Just another guy who bellyaches to his friends about the unjust evil Republicans who has no solutions himself and does nothing about it but bitch and moan.

I would disagree that most on this forum have my views. I would say it's almost 50/50 leaning maybe a little to the liberal side.

As you know, since you've accepted the Lord into your life, you are going to be saved and non-believing liberals like me are going to burn in hell forever. With God (and Uncle Mitch) on your side, how can you be wrong.

Want a solution, billy bob, don't vote for known corrupt scum like McConnel. Thats a start. But he's too busy taken care of those who got him there, right brother. You are the problem 65, you are the problem.

Your play to the center won't work either. If you've read my past post you know that you are just one of many thick-headed, right wing dolts who I have argued with at this forum. Frankly, you make no new points and are quite boring.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Ed

I know quite a few liberals who are very religious that I respect a great deal. I'm not condemning anybody here nor have I ever, not even u, Ed!

I know of no corruption from Mitch. If he is corrupt more than the next guy, I'm not aware of it. Can u point me to a news article that lists and defines all of his corrupt activity? I'm serious here, I want to know. Please post up a link here so I can go read it. Also, calling me billy bob in no way is taken as disparaging by me. In a 2 party system like we have here, u have 3 choices. The Democrat, the Republican, or a third party who has no chance of winning. You'll have to fix that first in your Utopian world before u claim I'm the problem.

I'm quite sure u are the thick headed dolt here as I NEVER claimed to be a centrist or in the middle. U were the one who said I was, not me. I think I'm definitely right wing. You are the one claiming centrism, and you are obviously far out on the left wing. Again, I see no answers from you. Happy Thanksgiving to u as well.

OK Eddie I went and read up on McConnells position on Campaign finance. Yeh he is against it all right.

But you know what Eddie. I dont understand why you would single this guy out when every politician in America uses the campaign finance laws to fill their pockets with greenbacks.

Hey they like nice things you know.

The only differance between them and you Eddie Haskell is opportunity.

I would venture to say that if you Haskell ran for office and all of a sudden say 500 k rolled into your account and no one really tracked it much , I would say you Eddie would get in bed with the other politicians of our time. New cars maybe a new Hummer.

The ho that you are Eddie Haskell.
