Dale,

Come back, please. The proud, the few, and the lonely bleeding heart liberals need you. That leaves just me and Actor to take on the hordes of conservatives trying to overrun the TOTV forum.

Tbug I agree with you DaleMN offered some balanced rebuttal and I hate to see him drop out. However, he may have made that claim because he enjoying all that clean air in MN....

ha ha ha ha

Bugs; it seems that Actor and Dale are so enraged that I have the "audacity" (Obama word used on purpose) to criticize their loved one (The One) that both of them have promised to leave and not let the door hit them on the way out.

2 guys who cursed out the former president, who I admire, and they can't take it when the situation is reversed.

It's just too, too delicious and wonderfully ironic.

Maybe both Actor and Dale should learn the laid back style of The Villages - tempered with a little bit of Johnnie Walker Black Label. Helps me quite a bit when things get too serious.

Excellent point. It's more of a Jim Beam or Benchmark thing with me, but the winding down effect is pretty close, I'm sure.

I'll join you with a JWBlack. After all, if it was good enough for Churchill, it's good enough for me.

Why Don't We Bring This Ridiculous Thread To An End?
 

I'm laying 50 to 1 that Rick Perry will not be the next President of the United States (as proposed by Richie in the title and his continuing rants).

Any takers? If not, why not just shut up and get on to more important discussions?

Pompous

1. Characterized by excessive self-esteem or exaggerated dignity; pretentious: pompous officials who enjoy giving orders.
2. Full of high-sounding phrases; bombastic: a pompous proclamation.
3. Chracterized by pomp or stately display; ceremonious:

I'll Take That Bet
 

At 50 to 1, I'll put up $100. Still game VK?

Well guys from where I sit based on Obama's continuing dismissal performance the America voter would accept Brisol Palin as presidency rather than continue down this road to perdition:pepper2:

... and Levi Johnson as the VP.

Do yourself a favor BK, and check out Texas' economic status. It'll blow your socks off how flush Texas is compared to the rest of the country. Gov. Perry has a lot to crow about when the campaign starts.

He'll be making stating his case in opposition of an economic failure of a President who claims he has nothing to do with the economy; it's still Bush's fault; the Republicans are stymying his efforts; the dog ate his homework; and he can't find a pen to sign anything.

Flush??
 

Yep, Texas has a state budget that's under water to the tune of about $20 billion in 2012 alone. I'll await Perry's plan on how to deal with that little problem without soliciting a lot of money from the federal government. Whether he does or doesn't, Texas is a long way from providing bragging rights for being "flush". A pattern of continuing to spend even when it's known that such spending is unaffordable and unsustainable isn't the greatest entry on the resumé of one running for President.

But like I said, I'll wait to see what Perry has to say when he begins to campaign for POTUS...that's IF he runs for President.

Compared to other states Texas is in great shape. Liberal bastions like NY, Rl, CA and IL can only dream of having such a business uptick and similar liabilities. Credit should be given as credit is due.
