    Your reasons for giving up on being a "conservative" are just as shallow and unexamined as some of your other proclamations here. I for one am glad you don't call yourself a "conservative" anymore because your nature indicates that you would still be flinging irresponsible conclusions around but branding them as conservative ideas. You've been hurt and you have lashed out. You think you have freed yourself but you have only locked yourself into a fake little happy place that makes you feel like you are punishing the bad guys.

    Have a nice life.
    I haven't been hurt by anything. I recognized that modern conservatism stopped reflecting my values when George HW Bush lied his ass off to my face and tanked the economy while making his oil company cronies rich.

    Sound familiar?

    Here's my fake little happy place:

    I called BS on the Iraq War from Day One.

    I called $4 per gallon gas before the end of Bush's second term.

    I called the mortgage meltdown in '05.

    Yeah, I "make the facts fit my world".

    Keep buying the Kool Aid. At least you'll have something to drink when Dubya's world crashes down around you.

      Just like any other liberal who is not willing to admit when they are wrong, when information from reliable sources has been presented and all he/they can do is come up with is information from the carpetbagger report...

      Wish I had more time to be a part of this, but I have to stay busy with work in case the O man gets in office. As I will have to pay 66% in income taxes, that I need to go ahead and start saving for now... :up:




      :drink:
      Come back when you 'have more time' and prove that I'm wrong.

      "Reliable sources." I can tell by your Obama tax quote that you love to lie like your republican brethren. Keep catapulting the propaganda. There are at least 59 million idiots out there who will buy it.

      :rofl:

          With current administration, how can any one openly admit to being a republican?

          Obama, doesn't bring hope/change. McCain does.

          Lair, you could make a great argument there, but you're wording it the way a rebellious teenager would. Very Emo-like.

          rwh11385, you're obviously a republican. You can shit your pants, but will never change your mind. You arguing like a woman. "I may not be right, but I'm never wrong." Reminds me of some presidential debates that Bush won against Gore/Kerry, even though he looked like a complete idiot and possibly was buzzed.

          How can this topic carry on with two pussies going back and forth at each other? Bickering like husband and wife over taking trash out. Just kiss and make up, you waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.

            I knew oil prices were going to be $4/gallon or more back in 2003, so there. :p

              I'm barely into six figures in assets, but I know people who have serious money who agree with me.

              These are people who have had real money their entire lives, and have been playing the markets for more than 30 years. They're nervous, and so is anyone else who doesn't live in a fantasy world.

              nando - a lot of people called the gas thing. I actually got it wrong. I called the $4 deal by '06, and it took another year and a half for it to show. They got close in '06 and '07, but missed the $4 (for a gallon of regular) by a few cents.

              That's one of the only cool things about being an old bastard with a decent memory. You can spot bullshit a mile away.

                Call it "ignorance" if it makes you happy, but I'll have my money when you lose yours in the coming market crash.

                I understand economics perfectly, and I also recognize assholes when I see them. ;)
                If you are a fiscal conservative, Obama is the second to last person you'd want to vote for. Hillary would be the worst as she was the one who wanted "to pick up the 3am phonecall" about the economy. It's a shame Ron Paul was coco for cocopuffs and spread half-truth bullshit so I don't know if a Libertarian will be able to come forth strongly after that shitshow. Once again, he tried to sell to the public promises and hope, and only got buy-ins from nutty white trash folk.

                You're completely ignorant about economics and the true implications of numbers... so don't even try. If a thread gets started about Laquanda throwing a brick through Tyrese's windshield, we'll ask for your input... until then, have fun in the uneducated dirty Souf.

                  He promised he wouldn't raised taxes but unfortunately the POTUS is not the only power in the government. Yes, the tax rate increases hurt the economy, and guess what - putting Obama in and having him take away Bush tax cuts will hurt the economy...

                  that's not Kool Aid. Reading thecarpetbaggerreport is Kool Aid.

                          I don't read thecarpetbaggerreport.

                          I cite them if they reference a pertinent news article that's no longer available from the original source.

                          How did Clinton manage to collect all those taxes without hurting the economy during the most prosperous years in the history of this nation?

                                The economy recovered from the hit after Congress's tax hike, and then grew...
                                but in terms of real GDP growth... early 80s was better than Clinton-era
