You say you don't like government regulations, you don't want more taxes, but your vote will accomplish exactly that.
I spoke with Allard about the fiscal burden of government. He seemed to think it was not that high. I specifically questioned him on tax code simplification. He evaded the question. He didn't seem to have any enthusiam or sense or urgency regarding taxes.
Stanley, on the other hand, while lacking Allard's education and prudence, will jump up and down and scream that taxes are theft. Frankly, I agree.
Over-regulation and high taxes are the source of a Senator's power.It allows them to pick and choose which businesses will succeed. Why would they act against their own interests?
Yes, but both believe it is their right to rob me. Getting robbed is one thing, but groveling at the muggers feet and saying you deserve to be mugged is another.
I always love this. If you remember the actual tally would have been well into the thousands but Algore and democrat vote fraud gave Algore more votes, so the official certified tally is onyl 537 votes.
If Libertarians or any other malcontents, really cared about taxes, they'd vote strategically for the party that has lower taxes as a stated part of their platform, has created legislation eliminating taxes and has actually done it...the GOP.
To vote in a way you know will do nothing but raise taxes (allowing Democrats to win), shows that you are either stupid or lying.
I love it when you guys talk about "principles". That's always my favorite part.
It wasn't a campaign event. But even if it was, why should that effect what he says? I expect Senators to be true to their word and carefully and thoughtfully form their policies. You've already scoffed at the notion of acting on principle, I suppose you're willing cave to the Greens and Dems when "necessary".
Why provide a theif with the illusion of consent? If I am to be robbed and forced to purchase windmills which I know will fail, fine. Don't ask for my consent. Just threaten my life and my property and steal as much as you can. He has the power to dominate and control his subjects financially. He believes it acceptable to buy votes by investing in a fundamentally flawed technology. These things are obvious. Just don't ask for my approval.
I say you're lying.
I say you're lying.
All perfectly legal, mind you. Heck, I'm a shareholder in the company in question. We've already brought our product to market in China, but the US is a regulatory nightmare compared to China. Amusingly, the product was developed with American tax dollars. Ironic,no?
That's illegal.
All perfectly legal, mind you.
That's a second lie. Helping a company "exclude itself from burdensome regulation in exchange for a fund raiser" is illegal.
Pretty ironic that you were attacking his alleged dishonesty, when your own posts are full of them.
If you really cared as much as you claim, you'd be terrified to gamble with the possibility of a Democrat winning, because then your every stated nightmare is sure to come true.
Grow up, these absurd arguments are tiring and make you look silly.
Yeah, right. I suppose all those Senators receive corporate donations because businesses are deeply concerned with the democratic process.
All perfectly legal, mind you.
That's a second lie. Helping a company "exclude itself from burdensome regulation in exchange for a fund raiser" is illegal.
Oh, its not a signed contract or anything. It just kinda works out that way. There are perfectly legal ways of influencing Congress's behavior. The corporate welfare system is quite sophisticated and responsive to the needs of its designers.

I'm just calling them as I see em. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, right. You've falsely accused him of a crime, and now you're trying to spin your way out of it.
I don't know how honest Mr. Allard is or isn't, but your dishonesty is readily apparent.
The Governor is also a RINO and has predictably caved on gun control among other things. To quote Owens on the subject "What are gun owners going to do, vote Democrat?" Don't stab me in the back like that and expect my future co-operation.
which would have some say in the dreaded windmill threat
Its symptomatic of a larger problem. And he tried to BS me on the subject which didn't improve my view of him.
If you really cared as much as you claim, you'd be terrified to gamble with the possibility of a Democrat winning, because then your every stated nightmare is sure to come true.
The Republicans are 10X better than the Dems but the Good Cop/Bad Cop routine is getting old.
Grow up, these absurd arguments are tiring and make you look silly.
I don't see anything immature or absurd about this line of arguementation. Allard clearly thinks the Greens are more important that the LP. Perhaps he's right. I am simply not interested in compromising with Socialists.
No, I haven't accused him of a crime. I've merely explained how one legally gains political influence in this country.
I don't know how honest Mr. Allard is or isn't, but your dishonesty is readily apparent
Ok. Why don't you try defending windmills or do you find name calling easier?
Electing whom? Socialists? No, in that case I'd vote dem.
Why don't the R's run someone who isn't embarrased to clearly state their beliefs on taxation or socialism.
If not a Goldwater how about at least a Reagan? I haven't heard much talk about limited government out of the R's lately.
I believe that is what I just said.
I see you have also resorted to name calling rather than debate.
Good day.
