That's why you need to stay in the fight.
meh... my spaceship is fueled and ready to go.
I'm just having some issues with the hyperdrive.
Always one to run away from a fight.
First it was the world is going to end. Next it was something else. Now you are leaving the planet.
Does the ignore list include PM's? I enjoy your PM's, they are in English and often have useful information.
and here is all you really need to know.
"Visclosky said he stands by his voting record on the matter, which includes favorable votes for both the Brady Bill and the Clinton-era assault weapons ban. He said his votes would continue along that line."
We need to work to get him to lose the next primary! Anyone from any party is better than him!
That's six years away and the dems are not going to allow anyone to run against him in the primary. The only hope there is that the gop realises they're screwed and actually runs a good candidate the next time around and not a loser like the last time. They can't afford a repeat of this election. They had too many losers in too many races.
we live in nwi, my friend, this is a D meca! no R ever elected that i know off.
Let me give you an idea of how long a D has held this position.
Pete took office in 1985
Before him we had a female D from 1982 - 1985 (Katie Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Before her we had a male D from 1977 - 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Benjamin,_Jr.)
Before him we had another male D from 1973 - 1977 (Ray Madden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Then Wikipedia falls apart on the one prior to that but I bet you it was a D.
So for at least the past 40 years this district has been D.
Actual here we go!!!
Indiana's 1st congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The last R elected in our district was March 4, 1925 - March 3, 1931
That was 82 years ago!!!!
The Ds have had control of this district since 1849 with only 30 years (in various 4 or 6 years chucks held by 7 Rs). So for the past 164 years, 134 of those years the Ds have held control of this district.
We have a better chance of hell freezing then us electing an R here.
This thread sure is quiet without Jedi.
I give up.
So I'm surfing Facebook and I find... A little back story first.
My ex-girlfriend is with this guy, and has a kid with this guy, who has never had a job. He has collected disability since he was 16. She quit her job, moved to Arkansas and started going to school. They live off the government with his disability and her grants along with food stamps, wik and free medical.
Anyway, like I said, I'm scrolling through my fb feed and discover that they are moving out of their apartment because they are buying a house. They're buying a house with our money... And they're proud that they are finally getting to own a house.
It's ridiculous, there's people out here who worked all their lives, fallen on hard times and are loosing their homes. And here's a couple people who don't work, one of which has never worked and the other just part time medial jobs... And they're buying a house... Give me a break, and people wonder what's happening to America. The land of the free, only if you don't work... The land of the brave, what's that, there's no need to be brave, the government will feed us, clothe us, educate us and protect us.
I give up, I've worked since I was 11 years old... A paper boy until I was 16 then I worked fast food, turned 18 went to a gas station, until robbed at gun point... Then on my days off found a new job in the stock room at target in river oaks, and ended up with the railroad working 12 hour days 7 days a week before turning 19.
Even the time I was off injured, I worked security to survive and still increased my debt, voluntarily had my car repoed, bought a clunker to get to my security job until I was deemed healthy enough to get back to the railroad.
I nearly lost my home, I did loose my car, had my power turned off, lived in the dark and off Ramon noodles. I work everytime I'm offered OT, and I'm still trying to pay off creditors. But I still need to help all the people who refuse to work. And the money I pay in taxes, ill see very little of that back as I'm single and have no kids. Of the 32,000 I've paid in taxes last year, I'll be lucky to see 2 grand back.
Why the hell even try anymore... It's ridiculous...
Rant off!!!
So anyway how about this weather?
It's raining.
You cant fix stupid.
I'm going to stop wearing pants...
Now that has settled in....
I'm buying these..
