Oakman wrote: The only thing that can be said for some of them is that they are about bricks and mortar. Yep. But at some point shouldn't somebody ask how many convention center hotels need to be put on my grand kid's dime?

The DNC? :laugh: (I had to give them something to justify the spontaneous univotes ;) ) Visit BoneSoft.com for code generation tools (XML & XSD -> C#, VB, etc...) and some free developer tools as well.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

As to the argument that this is protectionism, only assholes like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which lives in the hip pockets of the multinationals and probably owes as much allegiance to Hong Kong as it does to the U.S., would claim that a governmental spending bill directing that its proceeds only go the U.S. citizens is the same as raising tarriffs. There are good and sufficient reasons for any money raised from the citizens of this country be spent on companies that employ the citizens of this company and that pay taxes themselves. If Walmart, which won't receive any funding afaik, wishes to continue to buy cheap goods from slave labor countries, then they should be allowed to do so without hindrance. If the Feds want to build a new highway or fix the potholes in the ones already around, they damn well should hire Americans to do it (not illegal aliens, regardless of what the Chamber thinks) and they damn well should buy the raw materials from American suppliers. The concept of taxing U.S. Steel Corp to buy steel from China is revolting.

I think Sharapova was told at a recent Wimbledon edition to try to control herself or she might get penalized for that. Nadal used to be annoying in this aspect, but recently he improved and he only vocalizes at the most extreme points.

Not only gay but an asian, gay, leftie minister for Climate Change. I think Peter Garrett was a little put out by her. I saw an article on smh this morning which I cant find again in which Rudd was quoted from a soon to be published essay that Australia was in a unique position to lead the worlds economic rebound under his leftie leadership. May heaven help us all

Yeah, thats exactly what happened.... :rolleyes: Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

His tax problems would be enough to sink him if he were a Republican applying for position. I am a member of neither party. A Republican is a Democrat-light (at least now a days). If I wanted to be a Democrat (socialist) I would associate with the real deal and not the copy-cat want-a-be. A pox on both their houses. MrPlankton Mexican boy: Viene la tormenta!

Your jumping to conclusions. No, I was just being sarcastic, but it wasn't really directed at your well-reasoned response. It was aimed at others on this board who yearn to demonize anything supported by the Democratic executive and legislative branches. Sorry that I didn't convey that to you.
