Ursa Majoris Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Focussing on the messenger instead of the message seems a little pointless.

TimC Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If the Democrats feel so firmly about this, they should set an example and stop consuming. I'll come by and visit you in yer cave and give you a ride to work on Tuesdays. You'll have to ride strapped to the hood because you'll probably stink without electricity. It looks like 50.000000000000000000000000000001% of the population is now Democrat so it definitely will make a dent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy, you voted for Bush. Twice if I am not mistaken. Yer authority to comment on whether a poitical figure is a loon or not was revoked. And the fact that the budget of my county may be larger than the state of Tennessee is a direct commentary on the per capita income, property values, business revenue generation of the county, etc. Of course, I said it like it was a good thing. Our public schools, roads, services (particularly for the mentally handicapped), etc., are among the very best in the country and that costs money.

By that logic, reformed substance abusers are poor advocates for warning others about the dangers of abuse.

That may be true, but the state of Maryland (not unlike my own state and all the others, I suppose) pays the price for all that money staying there. In the 2004 data I found, MD ranks 31st in 4th and 8th grade competencies. MD also ranks 26th in deficit deficit spending. It's cool that you live in a nice area, but it's silly to compare one small county to a whole state, regardless of its color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have, you may comment on Gore. If he had won in 2000, we would not be in Iraq. Think about it. I only referenced my county, not Maryland. And it is very amusing to compare a rich county to a poor asz state. Edited February 28, 2007 by skins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
