Jim, I respect you going into business but please don't attach labels. I agree with about 90% of what Glenn Beck says and find O'Reilly to be very accurate in his reporting.
I'm suprised that you would stoop to things like that. Right wing kooks? Perhaps if you include Timothy McVeigh who was rejected by a militia. You sound here more like Stan Swart and Bill Press. If you adhere to the platform of the Democratic Party, Jim, you are a socialist. You're a good guy but a socialist. As far as this one "Tea Party and libertarians berate power but willingly carry water for the most powerful - Banks, Wall Street, Health Insurance monopoly, and Big Oil." There might be some and even though I am a Tea Partier, I cannot speak for them because there might be some among us. I CAN speak for The Republican Liberty Caucus and we categorically reject corporate welfare. It is also the platform of the Libertarian Party. As far as "Yesterday, the US Chamber (the ones financing opposition to health insurance monopoly reform) said that the tax payers should foot some of the bill for poor little BP." see above. As far as "Now, Harry Reid's opponent is even weirder than Lowden...' goes, then I am even weirder than Harry Reid also. As far as "There is mounting evidence of fraud in the SC primary that put the guy Green (another kook) on the Democratic ticket - the voting machines will be audited all the way to the central database. Election fraud condoned by the Republican Party? That's a winner, for sure." So? You don't remember the original Mayor Daley of Chicago whose administration originated the saying, "Vote early and often?" Richard Daley's Chicago was the only area where the urban vote tallies were reported AFTER the rural tallies. This was so Daley could see if the results were close enough so the results could be 'adjusted'. Chicago was such a political city that in every election the dead voted once and the living voted twice. And have you ever checked into the orign of the nickname "Landslide Lyndon" for Lyndon B. Johnson? Voter fraud has a much longer tradition among the Democrats than the GOP. --- In LibertarianExchange@yahoogroups.com, "Jim" <bottomlinejim2...@...> wrote: > > Boy, it's really interesting to hear Republicans who have never owned their > own business or medical practice claim to know what small business owners > want and need.
