Heracles

What is so beautiful about it? It's quite pathetic that a party with NO ideas of its own other than "lets not do what they say" wins. Well, it's more pathetic to lose to a party that has no discernable ideology of its own other than "no".

I suppose all this is riding on who will be the candidate for the republicans in 2012. If they nominate one of their mental midget front runners like Palin or Romney, then Obama will win re-election. If they nominate someone like Mitch Daniels, they will win easily.

The party which actually drove the country into recession and was responsible for the largest number of job loses during this recession.

Hillbillies also forget Bush is who bailed out the banks and banks alone. Obama stimulated the overall economy, which stopped the hemorrhaging, including the saving of two US auto manufacturers that would have now ended up in the history books.

Why do you spend so much time with idiot and losers?

Why do you spend so much time on a forum when you don't care to discuss anything? Remember the 2 to 1 post count you have.

So you are saying you are too impotent to convince your wife that she should leave here and join you in your Audi utopia.

Which city do you live, perhaps we can join you instead...

By you clearly are taking this crushing election night.... personally.

Why is that?

Because it's a joke that people are cheering the win of a party who drove the country into the worst recession and will now drive the country further into the 18th century. A party who wants to do the exact opposite of what is making every other country wealthier and wealthier.

Logical discussions don't work with some on here, therefore, insults are the next step. I also now understand why so many on the other side start offending people on the right - off the bat.

Major anti-tax measures fail

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Voters in several states defeated major anti-tax measures on Tuesday, acknowledging that their financially-strapped governments need revenue to provide services.

A trio of controversial tax initiatives in Colorado failed, as did an effort to slash sales taxes in Massachusetts, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. This comes amid a wave of anti-incumbent fervor that swept Republicans to victory in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Voters are not willing to go so far as to start to disassemble state government," said Jennie Bowser, an elections analyst for the conference. "They recognized there are programs and services they benefit from and they want them to continue."

At the same time, voters were not eager to raise taxes. A high-profile bid to tax millionaires in Washington state failed.

More than a quarter of the 160 initiatives on Tuesday's ballots dealt with state tax hikes, debt levels and other revenue issues. In total, there were 44 measures that could have drastically changed the way states fund themselves or make decisions on their budgets.

Though anti-tax initiatives routinely appear on ballots, they would have had a deeper impact this year since most states have yet to recover from the Great Recession. State and local officials will likely have to raise taxes and slash services in 2011 -- the fourth year in a row -- in order to balance their budgets.

How economy could save Obama's job

The Colorado measures would have cut property taxes in half over 10 years and then used state money to fund schools, as well as banned all state borrowing and restricted local debt issuance. Voters also turned back an effort to slash the state income tax rate to 3.5%, from 4.63%, and reduce or eliminate taxes and fees on cars and telecommunication services.

In Massachusetts, meanwhile, voters turned back an attempt to cut the sales tax to 3% from 6.25%.

Those who went to the polls Tuesday didn't seem in the mood to hike taxes, either.

Washington residents were poised to defeat one of the few revenue-raising ballot measures, which called for establishing an income tax of 5% on single taxpayers earning $200,000 or more and a 9% rate on income above $500,000. (The threshold would be doubled for married Washingtonians.) The initiative would also have reduced property taxes by 20% and lower certain business taxes.

To be sure, voters did approve certain smaller tax cuts. Massachusetts residents rolled back a recently-enacted sales tax on alcohol. And in Missouri, measures to prohibit real estate sales or transfer taxes, as well as to ban local governments from imposing earnings taxes, were expected to pass.

nobody is holding a gun to your head. take your damned spouse back to wherever the hell it is you came from and live the milk and honey if it's so great.

we Americans are happy enuf just clinging to our guns and bibles without your company.

some people just don't get it.

Trying clinging to a brain cell for a change, or even some money.

You do the same thing constantly. Maybe I should report also. But life is good today so maybe tomorrow.

No, I simply disagree with your utterly challenged views.

I don't sit here and track you down in every thread, to respond to your bumfuckville uneducated backwards views.

and a sharp swerve to right field now. is that gps in your a8 in need of reprogramming?

Certainly will not be programmed by any 18th century red-state hillbillies. Can you guys even spell GPS?

what makes you think the building is for sale? and i doubt your dad would be interested in investing in the usa, given how hot real estate is in australia.

He knows government wastage on contractors who have a 50 to 1 post count of everyone else [ironically] will increase, so he wants to profit from it too.

been doing math much more difficult than that before you was even born. maybe you should revisit your earlier statement and figure out what the down payment is for an entire block.

Was that before or after your Military training? I can see exactly how 'smart' those military types are on here, prime example is the gun-toting clown from Ohio on here. Speaking of loser fucktards, he has not been on here for a while, must be planning his militia.

You must be pretty bored today to keep feeding trolls. Rejoice because life is good.[/img]

He he, the resident:

it can keep your sharp swerve into left field at post 15 company

but can you match my paycheck

what makes you think i'm interested in selling it? are you that full of assumptions today? as for who would want a truck, at least some of us aren't buying overpriced volkswagons.

i'm also sure that "losers" don't drive them in your area.

Which three-story office building or factory do you work in? My old man is looking at investing.

we won't hold that against you.

Nice dodge.

so that's different from your earlier statement, about buying block after block.

good luck getting a loan to do that, they want something known as a "down payment" or "collateral".

10% of $175 = $17.5K

Surely you can do the math here...

and here we have our first straw man for the day.

when you come back to the topic at hand, we were discussing you "taking" my truck.

Yes genius buying it from you, which was clearly implied.

Just in case you missed it, I was also being facetious, as who would want some peace of ####### truck anyway. Only losers drive those in our area.

logic fail - not surprising from you.

right right, Government bad, just not when it benefits me.

one house is not one block. or haven't you broke the code on that yet?

One house in cash, a block using 10 percent down.

Texas is too cheap for my standards anyway.

Can you imagine I combine resources with my siblings, old man and relatives. We'd buy half of Texas.

failed again. i'm not on a federal payroll, unless you have a really warped sense of reality.

i work for a company. i'm on their payroll.

A company who extracts their revenue from the federal government. Just because a shitty private contractor does something does not mean it's not government.

Wakey wakey - ya'll.

since the truck is in the garage, that would mean you'd have to break and enter. admitting you're a criminal now?

Reading comprehension is not your forte is it, just ripping off the taxpayer then claiming you hate government.

you just love to stereotype, don't you?

you have 175k sitting around? i doubt it.

Nah, I just sell one investment property and with the equity I receive alone, I end up buying an entire block of wherever you live - ya'll.

You are correct though, I could buy one entire house in Houston in cash. Why would I want to?

you'll take it, eh?

Yeah ya'll, I'll like take that truck of ya'll's - ya'll.

No wonder pike hands your azz in EP.

what, you can't take your a8 with you to australia?

Naahhh, I'll take your pickup ya'll so I get get out of ditches.. YeeHa!

Oh wait, they don't have shitty roads.

given what gems boston has given us in the past, that's hardly a valid statement.

Considering you are on a federal payroll, I would not be hating on those Dems. It's also extremely hypocritical.

so you think.

$175k is a joke. I have not seen those sort of prices in over 18 years. How about your current state? How are property prices doing there? Do you guys have running water yet?

It's truly a dysfunctional state in so many ways.

California .. "The Golden State" as it was once known just decades ago, lead the country in education, business, innovation, opportunity and yes.... Ronald Reagan.

THESE STATES HAVE TO SINK OR SWIM ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT BAILOUTS FORM THE OTHERS.

California is going through a bad spell, they also do not pay enough taxes and are suffering like Greece is, for the very same reason.

You want to know about dysfunctional, have a look at Mississippi, the state is the butt of jokes, yet the rep senator still wants more cuts. That is when you know the place is full of clowns.

Apart from Texas and possibly cities in NC, the majority of Red states are not equipped for the 21st century, certainly not with their 19th century mindset and workers. Why else do you think Rand Paul picked Kentucky? He capitalized on stupid, you think people in Boston or educated states would vote for him?
