Romney wasn't the loser.......the American People are the loser in this deal

Big Gurl........I have come across many on welfare driving brand new luxury vehicles. When I am behind someone in tha Walmart and watch them get ribeyes and lobster on the lone star card and then whip out a roll of cash to pay for cigs and booze, I then like to follow them out and see what kind of grocery go-getter they drive. Sometimes it is a small non-luxury vehicle but many times it is way more than what you or I drive.

It is done quite a bit. I tend to think it (the extra cash) comes from one of 2 places. First, some illegal activity or trade or 2, they actually work but for cash so it is not reported and the can collect from the gov't. This double dipping, which happens quite a bit, kills us twofold.

Imagine the turnaround in cash flow if 500,000 people went from taking $1600/ month from the system and had a job where they paid $700/ month into the system. What is that, instead of $800,000,000 per month leaving.........we would replace it with $350,000,000 coming in........that is a $1.15 billion a month swing for the good. The jobs are there......they might not be the exact job a person wants but there are jobs to be had. I think the gov't makes it too easy on these folks. Also, by keeping a big group dependant on the gov't keeps them in your back pocket when the voting time comes around.

Granted, there are many who need this system in place to survive but the ones abusing should be put behind bars.

The sad part is.........he would get votes

Nash......these days the kids are always right...........in classroom, in sports, at work..........we gotta always believe what little johnny tells us

Helping the needy is one thing..........funding the lazy is what I can't stand

Shawn has been playing very well this year. I followed him for 2 days at Houston where he finished 5th.

Stroud has been solid this year as well. Glad to see them playing well on the tour

^^^^^ I nominate this for post of the year...........you go akifan ^^^^^

Also, I find it funny so many libs are loosing their mind over the TT cheerleader posting pics of safari kills she has made......LEGALLY. But aborting a human life is just dandy.

The way the VA is run should have everyone clamoring for the obama"socializedmedicine"care. More proof we are better off with the government running our lives

What is this metamorphic change you refer to? More free crap for the poor and down trodden? A weaker military on the world stage? Economy going down the crapper? IRS targeting conservative groups? A socialized medicine rollout that is the laughingstock of the world?

Change for the sake of change is not always good. But I will give the dems credit........they have created a voter base that is so dependant on the government they have to keep voting for them to keep receiving the fruits of my labors.

By the way, no one is making Obama the bad guy..........he is doing that all on his own

I am not really concerned with his public speaking ability.........if that was the case we may have gone after Joel Osteen.........but we may not have paid enough to get him off his throne

I just recall watching some of the inauguration.......cameras in the audience.........always entertaining. The overwhelming reply was........."we finally got one of us (black person speaking) in the White House.

So yes........I say race had a lot to do with it.

Nash...........to answer all your questions, honestly of course, no

I would venture to say Dove that far more people voted for Obama because he is black than voted against him because he is black.

I am with you on that 77.........there are plenty of insulators, painters and landscapers here already

Obama will get bi**h slapped yet again..........the US wants a leader sir, not a wannabe dictator

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

I wish our veterans got the treatment that the poor, needy and children get here. The very guys that protect yours and my freedoms get the shaft when it comes to being cared for. Heck, prisoners get better treatment than Vets get......except for the around the clock sex from Guido the killer pimp.

Don't aim too high Buddy...........start with a conference champ.

As an Aggie fan and sports fan in general, this is just disgusting.   These kids had it all in front of them.   How does one make the decision to ruin your entire life over a couple of hundred dollars?

You are correct westend1.........I think one of the problems is the pedestal these guys live on their whole lives. It does not always end the same but they have the feeling of I can do no wrong and coach will bail me out because I can throw, run, catch better than anyone.

This Stansbury thing could get interesting.........I just caught a bit of a story but what I saw was he said he was nowhere near Rice campus but 3 people say they saw him (one lady said she spoke to him) and he was staying a block away.

I have no clue as to what happened but the stories are very different

Just saw this.........what's up?

Buddy, I know he has a very checkered past but Silver went out of his way to say this decision was based solely on this recording.

Dante Stallworth pled guilty to DUI manslaughter charges and was suspended a year. (I know that is NFL) I think Ron Artest going into the stands and hitting a fan was worse than this and he missed a year

I still think this is about the stupidest crap show ever. I still try to understand what was so bad. He called Magic "a black man"......proper wording used. He asked his hooker to not bring him to games and rub it in his face.......nothing wrong there.......he did not say "no blacks allowed at Clippers games". He was recorded in a private conversation which is wrong......the only "crime" committed.

I sure hope no one records conversations that I have in my private home because I, as most everyone on here, have said things that may not be in best taste.

Those "Old School" coaches would go crazy with today's athlete. Grab one facemask and he's going to court.

Most of these kids today could use a little "old school" coaching

I am trying to get Coach Scantlen to unretire and put in for it :P

I just heard about this from my fiances sons..........He just told the kids at Brook.........the whole team is upset, he was a great guyto the kids. As for coaching, his defenses were a bend but don't break kind of group from the 2 seasons I have followed. Sounds like Livingston got a good guy........now to see if that translates into wins
