Thank-you bk, I always admired your thoughtful and precise posts. You are a breath of fresh air.

PS. You should read the nasty PM I received an hour ago from a disgruntled lefty. He/she gave me a zero.

Well, it's a shame that Ms. Cooper hasn't had a valid ID for all these years and that the new procedures have her caught up, but in the interest of fairness she's going to have to straighten our her paperwork.

What the heck?! We have had to show picture ID to vote for the last 15 years or more! I do like the idea of of the ink on the thumb to prevent going back for seconds tho.

I think that I know where you are going with this. I acknowledge that manufacturing is way down in the USA, but blaming the unions goes too far. It must be remembered that it was the unions that allowed the establishment of the middle class. We no longer must buy our goods at the company store with company scrip.

I think that the fault lies with the failure of our government to recognize that wholesale expansion of trade with the third world would ruin our standard of living. Perhaps this ignorance on the part of our government was by design, and at the behest of the the multi-nationals. Paul Krugman another Nobel-Prize winner suggested that we divide the world into enterprise zones to protect the standard of living of the American people.

In the interest of fairness....she has her birth certificate has been registered for what 70 years? This 96 year old women went in with a boatload of papers well in advance because she did want her right to vote taken away.

And 17 counties in Tennessee don't even have a DAV office which is the only place you can get the voter ID card.

This is voter suppression clear and simple.

It is not my intent to annoy you. It is my intent to draw out the truth and see which arguments hold more water.

Now with regard to #5, You must see "Inside Job". It is available from Netflix. You may enjoy it. Along with the others it indicts the Obama administration for hiring the same leftover economists from the Bush Administration.

Very good point. I was brought up in manufacturing circles, and I can tell you that it is all but gone.

According to an article in today's paper, Wall Street gave it's largest campaign donation in history to Obama, who in turn bailed out the banks. In the article it jokingly called Goldman Sachs the fourth branch of government.

Interesting reading tip ~Gretchen Morgenson's "RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT". A central figure in the book is Jim Johnson. He just happens to be on the board at Goldman Sachs and also just happens to be former CEO of Fannie Mae. Hmmm....
So add the name Jim Johnson to Chris Dodd and Barney Frankenbean.
