I'm sure if a cure for cancer is found then Obama will try to take credit for the discovery.   And if at a later date the "cure" was found to be faulty, I'm definitely sure he would blame Bush.

The actions were coordinated by rogue employees in a field campaign office. If the allegations are true then I'm outraged and those responsible will be held accountable. This is old news. Nothing to see here. We need to move on to more important issues. Not a smidgen of corruption. That so called "scandal" is phoney...a political witch hunt. We've already had four bi-partisan investigations and no evidence ties this to Governor Christie. These allegations are being reported by a less-than-reputable "news source".   This was all I could find in "The Leftest Guide to Crisis Management".

Obama is the clear favorite for this year's lie of the year: "I'm outraged and if these allegations are true then those responsible will be held accountable."

I saw that his lips were sometimes slightly out of sync with the audio. The video is a FAKE! Big Girl will back me up on this one.

  If you are basing your statement on Larry Sabato's article, which has been used widely by the MSM, that is not what he said. He said "the higher the education level, the more likely the voter will vote democrat."  Other studies have also shown that "the lower the education level, the more likely the voter will vote democrat." High school dropouts overwhelmingly vote democrat over republican. I have yet to see a study that tried to combine the two spectrums to get an average education level based on political party affiliation.   People with higher education levels voting democrat doesn't surprise me one bit. The longer you stay in school, the more you are inundated with liberal professors.      I have also read studies that state that voters with higher incomes vote republican over democrat.   From this article: [Hidden Content]   "Financially, Republicans fare better than either Democrats or Independents, and tend to identify themselves as such. Republican candidates gain a significantly higher percentage of votes from individuals with incomes over $50,000 per year, and the advantage increases along with the income level, to a height of 63 percent of individuals earning $200,000 or more a year supporting Republicans. This level is the direct inverse of individuals earning less than $15,000 a year, who support Democrats at 63 percent and Republicans at only 36 percent."

  I'm curious too. PamFam10, define "assault" rifle. What characteristics separate an "assault" rifle from a "non-assault" rifle?

BTW, I was not trying to imply you, me or Smitty was anti-gay or pro-gay. I was just sticking to the you and me theme from your post. 

  Could we sue if the networks said they would play our films then back out when they found out we were anti-gay? If a party says the reason for backing out of a deal was because of the other's party's stance on the gay issue, then that sounds like discrimination to me. A precedent has been set on one side of the stance. Shouldn't that precedent be expounded to the other side of the stance?   A photographer should be able to accept and/or refuse whatever job he wants...or doesn't want. A restaurant should be able to serve or refuse to serve whoever they want. The courts have ruled they can't refuse service (discriminate) based on sexual orientation. Doesn't this fit that bill?   If a guy walks into a restaurant and tells the waitress "I'm opposed to gay marriage", can the waitress legally refuse to serve him based on that one thing?

I'm curious if the brothers can sue HGTV for discrimination...provided contracts were signed (which I don't think any were). A gay couple sued a photographer (and won) for refusing to photograph their wedding. Shouldn't the same standard apply here?

I thought I heard him say earlier in the call that if he appointed a board of managers then he was required by law to appoint a superintendent. I might not have heard him correctly, but that's what I thought he said. That could mean that he has to appoint a superintendent but not fire Chargois. I took it to mean that Chargois would be replaced.

  Are you referring to the race card?

So a male and female are working the same job, and after one year you give them a performance evaluation to determine pay raises for the next year. You find a huge discrepancy in the performance quality of the two workers. Can you give one a raise without giving the other one the same raise? If the higher performer is the woman, sure. But if the higher performer is the male...uh-oh. So when awarding the pay raise I guess you would also have to immediately hire a lawyer to defend yourself when the inevitable lawsuit summons hits your desk.   There are existing laws already on the books that specifically address gender pay disparity. And there are plenty of studies that prove that the gender pay gap does not exist. I remember reading some of these studies in college.

  By your response I'm assuming you completely missed the sarcasm...and the irony.

  You mean men and women have different dress codes? How is that legal? Is that a war on men or women?

I have read/heard many stories where a student had to change shirts, had the wrong hairstyle, pants too baggy, etc because his/her dress style could be distracting to a learning environment. But a teacher that is a man dressed as a woman....no, that's not distracting at all.

Here's the joke of the day, brought to you by outgoing NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander:   "We're not [monitoring the emails]," Alexander said. "So he can now go back to writing emails. The reality is, we don't do that. And if we did, it would be illegal and we'd be ... held accountable and responsible."   The full joke: [Hidden Content]   I'm not sure which part is more laughable...the part where he said they were not monitoring emails, or the part where he said if they did, they would be held accountable.

I am wondering if Chipolte is trying to blame anticipated rising costs on “climate change” instead of obamacare?

You responded to a post that said BH will not be 5A next year, by saying they would be 5A in maybe 6 years. I'm saying they will be in 5A next year due to the UIL's new naming convention. (I said nothing about enrollment numbers). So the bet is whether or not BH will be 5A next year. I say they will be. Would you care to take that bet?  ;D

They are building another elementary and MS in two years right behind the other schools. BH HS I think will have 2000k in the next 6 years. It may not be enough to move up and they'll be a large 4a. [/quote] I will offer a friendly wager to you just like I did to UGotTrucked. BH will be in 5A next year. Would you care to take that bet?
