I saw your post after I typed my long reply!

Yours was as good as mine, but briefer. :o)

I also forget to add that other countries were telling their citizens not to come to this country so it also caused tourism to decline which would in turn effect the hotel industry, the airline industry (again), the rental car industry, etc. I could go on and on all day!

These people have rocks in their heads. I am now convinced republicans are the only people with a functioning brain (this coming from a reformed liberal no less)

"(this coming from a reformed liberal no less)"

Good for you!!! Welcome to the other side!

My dad loved discussing politics with me, from the time I was in fourth or fifth grade! My father was a HUGE Reagan supporter and is a lifelong Republican.

What I admire about my dad is that he didn't say to me, "you have to be this way or think this way," instead, he pointed out the beliefs/differences between the two parties. And it was clear to me that I felt more comfortable in the Republican category.

This was a lot to digest at the time -- I was 10!

Most of them are brain-washed by greed. They are still raving about what Slick did for the 'greatest economy' we ever had. His knowledge and cowardice on national security was a disgrace.

If only someone could get into their brain that a CIC who doesn't know what he's doing could cause them to live like poor slaves if we lose our country to the enemy - or they could die rich if we are attacked.

Congratulations on your wise choice to reform. :-)
