Under Rockefellers their job and money go overseas to cheap foreigners.
Under Democrats their money goes to the IRS and their job disappears.
Emmett, the GOP needs to adapt its economic employment/jobs
philosophy or the country is doomed to 3rd world status, in my
opinion. I have some ideas to correct it, but I’d alienate each
party’s establishments.

TOXIC CHARACTERS
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
A Letter to the Rev. J. Bennett Guess:
I was thrilled by the magnitude of Mr. Lord’s theological and
plain logic in his open letter to the United Church of
Christ. I only hope and pray they take his good faith
instructions (educational) to heart in the sense they were
offered, that is in prayerful modesty and in total goodwill. Mr.
Lord is not leaving his Church as I have suggested he and his
congregation should do in earlier letters to the editor. Perhaps
he is right not to take that step just yet and give the Church a
chance to repent and quit associating with such toxic characters.
Only time and Gods will tell the answer. Please God forgive us
all our sins and point us in the right direction, in Jesus name
we pray.

QUITE PLEASED
Re: Matthew Vadum’s
Killing Capitalism Soros-Style:
“The owner of America’s Democratic Party… spent over $20 million to prevent President Bush’s reelection in 2004….”
In hindsight, I am quite pleased with this particular Soros
investment. Let’s hope he gets into
a bidding war with Carlos Slim for the New York Times.

PICKED TO BE THERE
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
Anti-Beck, Dobbs Efforts Dropped by Church Coalition:
Wow this article reminds me of similar experiences peeling the onions of the so called “environmental groups” backing up some of the most radical agenda to control every inch of dirt in Thurston County, state of Washington.
At the time I was part of the city’s planning commission charged with writing the city’s ordinances implementing the Washington State Growth Management Act enacted in the late 80’s. I got in there, in the middle of hell, to bring some sanity at the debates.
At every meeting we had the same faces, each supporting a different group “of concerned citizens.” Then at one point they decided to form the County Homeowners Association council which was supposed to help fight those “evil developers” and “land abusers” who sought to cut every tree in the county.
Having a background in IT and database development, I was tasked to build the central database with the names of all members. As an extra field I added the group they belonged to…
Lord and behold, as I began to enter the data, it really came down to about 50 folks who had weaved these 65 organizations to appear as if they were a big chunk of the population. And get this; they had obtained a grant from the state government under the guise of “clearinghouse for natural resources education” as an entity to “educate” the citizens on natural resources issues…
So all of their equipment was purchased with government funds…

Nice letter from Majito, except for the nonsense about how it's nonsense to identify leftist "republicans" as RINO's.
What is Scuzzyfuzzy (Scazzafava), then? A principled GOPer?
So then is McCain REALLY a Reagan Republican, as he claims? Hmm . . .
Funny how some on our side (unless he's a Moby, but I don't think so) can see some things so clearly and then develop moral cataracts, just where they are most needed.
Still 75% right is better than 75% wrong.
Count me a "mendacious" conservative who both believes in RINO's, and is an enthusiastic hunter of same.
Etiquette Man| 11.10.09 @ 7:31AM
Oops, that was Michael Tomlinson, not Majito.
Mea maxima culpa! It still wasn't a bad letter, all in all.

Bout time the letter page came back. Once a week don’t cut it.
Good to see some familiar faces, like Martin and Amos, but where are Winthrop, Kessel and Gunn?
Keep the letter page regular.

Don't worry about Pelosi getting unelected in '12. Not going to happen. The people in her district are every bit as moonbatty as she is and will keep reelecting her forever.

Thanks to Michael Tomlinson.
It's the IN thing to do around here~~bash anyone who mentions they'd vote for a Republican over a Democrat. It's the most immature, asinine behavior I've seen in a long time, anywhere.
These same holier than thou ones who proclaim their higher principles, go on to complain at the government they get by either not voting at all because their too good, or voting for a Third loser Party.
The easy way in life is to complain and throw stones at others instead of realizing you ARE the government and it it's your responsibility to vote for the best candidate.
I'll continue to preach it~~ Want Obama II? Then vote for that Third Party or better yet, don't vote at all!
p.s. to Michael if you're reading this~ a couple of weeks ago one of these "principled" people used my name to post several despicable posts to you. Wasn't me. I'm in agreement with you.
Onward!
Mr.Reality| 11.10.09 @ 12:51PM
Republicans need all the troops they can muster. Those independents who voted for the GOP last week are still Rino. Wanna scratch their votes and lose ? Start showing pragmatic, agnostic thinking voters some respect you right wing dolts or we'll see to it Pelosi passes the fairness doctrine and your Rushbo gets to play a lot of golf in the afternoon. And start sending money to more moderate candidates in head to heads against the dems. I sent Bachman and others to the right of me a check last time out. pack of freeloaders is what you are.

The American political system has changed, perhaps permanently, from at least an attempt to benefit all Americans, to a spoils-to-the-victor system, like those in Latin America. An oscillating kleptocracy.
While it lasted, America was good for the common Joe and Jane. Now it keeps them down, to allow the rich to feel the exhilaration of ruling hoi polloi.
Could a second American Revolution be far away?

Only hope, outside of material progress, is spirituality. Politics is so loaded today with gobbledygook, it is unbearable. I only go to AS nowadays for politics.
