Good for Kerry for avoiding taxes; Bad for Kerry for shaming certain classes of people for not paying their fair share. More of a "glass house" thing.

If the schools were doing their job, Billy would be failing instead of graduating. There will always be defunct parents and their Billys. They should never be passed to the next grade until they are ready. This is the wake-up call that Billy and his parents are not getting. By not failing their students, the schools are failing. They want to get paid whether they are effective or not. So who's failing?

RM said: And by the way, I am not a "so called conservative", just a "straight up conservative" in case you're wondering. Don't want you to waste any brain-power trying to frame me as a closet lib. If you feel the need to tell me, then maybe you're not. You don't have street cred because you say you do.

I'm with M799. Article II. Besides, with this election, could we possibly redefine what a swing state is? Is a swing state a state too stupid to recognize reality? I'm not trying to be overconfident, but are we really trying to buy votes with the choice of a VP? Why not pick one broadly qualified and avoid the whole Article II thing. History will ultimately reveal the 44th president was an ineligible fraud, and our side needs to steer clear of that territory. There will also be an effort to clearly define eligibility going forward, I'm sure.

Julia has no intention of working.

There was a time when lefties had some presumption of intellectual honesty. Those days are long gone.

Wow, you are really bad at analogies.

“Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” – Oscar Wilde ...let me ask you this: If Obama really did pay off cronies to stay out the limelight, wouldn’t that be a big betrayal of everything you believe as a liberal? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You are the second best reason I get up on Sunday morning!

I stick by by math comment. As I understand it, the Whig party imploded outside of the context of any election. The new Republican party was formed out of the major fragments. In other words, there was NO viable third party in any election. I believe you will see this history repeat itself as the RINOs continue to be exposed for who they are. While you may or may not see a change in the name of the party, the tea party continues to have an effect on the identity of the Republican party.

Mo4, are you saying that your clear conscience and lack of regret for your vote did not ease your pain? Say it isn't so!
