  1. Clinton shut down the government twice before he realized he couldn't further his wild spending. Only then did he reach across the aisle. At least he finally did, after some strong arm twisting by Gingrich.
  2. Probably. We are $20 trillion in debt and the one who got us here would probably win another election. That would prove the stupidity of the electorate (if it isn't already apparent after the last two elections).
  3. Some angry old white racist man must have written her speech for her. I'm waiting for Democrats to start a new childish chant, you know, the ones the Democrats love to shout. It wouldn't surprise if it was along the lines of "We are victims for life!, We are victims for life! Give us more money! Give us more stuff! You owe us! You owe us! Of course it would have to be slightly modified to make it rhyme.
  4. What about them? If they want to stay home on election day, that's their choice. If they plan on voting Democrat then I hope they stay home. Are you trying to say that since Bush, who the Left painted as such a terrible president because he was so stupid, will further show his stupidity by voting Democrat this year?
  5. It wasn't a question. It was a statement. And if you think it's stupid, give your reasons why you think that. Maybe we can see something really stupid.
  6. I don't know. Anyone that falls for the crap he was spewing has to be weak minded and easily led by the nose. Hopefully they will stay home when it's time for the adults to vote.
  7. Bernie has no class. Anyone that wants to take 92% of everyone's paycheck is clueless...and classless. Can you point out where Cruz bashed Trump? No, you can't. And the DNC is full of those childish chants you were so found of during the RNC. They even stole the "Lock her up" chant from the Republicans.
  8. No Republican candidate has a chance to get the minority vote. They can only hope to get a small percentage. Why minorities vote monolithically is a mystery to me. The Democrats know they have the minority vote in their pocket no matter what they do.
  9. No, you said we should focus on U.S. vs U.S. crime and that immigrants and radicals Muslims were not newsworthy because the percentages of getting killed by them was less than by another U.S. citizen. I never said anything about percentages changing. I used an analogy to point out that even though you are less likely to be killed by a sniper than another vehicle, the sniper story is more newsworthy. Same with radical muslims. Thus, refuting your point. And the last time I heard about a sniper on I-10 was about a year ago.
  10. Let me get this straight. If a sniper is shooting at random cars on I-10, you would be perfectly fine with the cops saying..."Don't worry about that sniper because you are more likely to be killed by another driver".
  11. This is exactly why Ted Cruz is hated in the Senate. The party leaders try to whip him into shape and he tells them to shove it up their... If we had 99 more Senators like him, regardless of party affiliation, we wouldn't need to be talking about term limits.
  12. Hillary has zero ethics. She was fired by a lawyer for unethical practices. The liberals know they can get away with almost anything because they have the minority vote in their pocket no matter what they do. All they have to worry about is making sure they don't screw up enough to fire up the white voters to show up in high numbers. And the white voters capitulated in the last two elections.
  13. I fully agree with your assessment TVC, but I think one of the things that people are fed up with is the alliances that are present in Congress. Congressmen tell other Congressmen "You vote for my crappy bill and I will vote for your crappy bill." And you have to vote (or not vote) for a bill because of your party affiliation, not your conscience. Senior party leaders have too much power over the other party members. Term limits will reduce the need to always vote along party lines. That is the way I think many look at term limits. Whether or not it would be effective...I have no clue. Term limits would reduce the amount of time Congressmen need to go out campaigning. I think this would be a bad thing. The more time they spend out of office the better. I wish they would just meet for one month a year.
  14. I feel the same way, but I'm voting for Trump as a vote against Hillary.
  15. I have and like both of these songs, but wouldn't consider them Classical. Like you, I know and like a bunch of classical songs but can't name the song titles (other than some of the major ones). It's amazing how many Classical songs have been used in movies, cartoons and commercials over the years.
  16. I have trouble remembering the titles of Classical songs, but here's a few of my favorites that I can remember the title: O Fortuna - Carl Orff (thanks Ozzy) Ride Of The Valkyries - Wagner Fur Elise -Beethoven Barber Of Seville - Rossini (always brings back memories of Bugs Bunny)
  17. If I can pick a ten year span I'll take the late 60s through the early 70s. If I have to pick a decade though I will take the 70s.
  18. Just a few off of the top of my head... Stop, Stop, Stop - The Hollies Dixie Chicken - Little Feat (the live version off of "Waiting For Columbus" is my favorite version) Tell Mama - Savoy Brown (who would later morph into Foghat) 20th Century Boy - T.Rex Fat Bottom Girls - Queen Kashmir - Led Zeppelin The Zoo - The Scorpions Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - The Beatles Up On Cripple Creek - The Band Crime Of The Century - Supertramp South Side Of The Sky - Yes Fearless - Pink Floyd Shapes Of Things - The Yardbirds Burn Down The Mission - Elton John Tin Soldier Man, 20th Century Man, Lola - The Kinks (couldn't make up my mind which to list, so I listed all three) The Man Who Sold The World - David Bowie I could go on and on and on.
  19. Call Me The Breeze is a song written and performed by J.J. Cale. Skynyrd remade the song, and did a damn good job of it. One of my favorites. If you haven't already, take a listen to J.J. Cale's original version. J.J. Cale also wrote Cocaine, After Midnight (both remade by Eric Clapton) and Crazy Mama (remade by many artists).
  20. Bring It On Home To Me - Sam Cooke
  21. They've been posted in this forum. They've been shown on every news outlet in America. A Republican super Pac is running a commercial showing them daily. If you haven't seen them, I don't know what to tell you. A simple google search should give you all the info. And yes, Right! It is "straight out." I find it extraordinarily incomprehensible that anyone has not seen Comey's testimony, especially the answers to Trey Gowdy's questions. This is almost akin to me saying 1 + 1 = 2 and you asking me to prove it.
  22. Soros called. Says he wants his money back. Says he's already wasted too much money on incompetence.
  23. Hillary, who champions herself as fighting for woman, won't select a woman as a running mate. I guess Elizabeth Warren has too much estrogen to satisfy her. She had to go with an angry old white male. So much for the "party of diversity". She knows she won't lose the minority vote because they will vote lock, stock, and barrel for anyone with a "D" behind their name.
  24. Wow. Your comprehension skills are sorely lacking. Comey straight out said she committed illegal acts. This was reported by everyone. Have you ever heard of the term "tunnel vision".
  25. Sort of like the "Yes we can, Yes we can" chant that the Democrat congressmen are so fond of.
