Well, at least you're a border state, so the map would make sense ;) Kind of hard for Kansas to secede, being right in the middle :LOL: Maybe you could get Oklahoma to follow your lead, then we...

Once again, I agree Bob. While the focus of this thread has shifted to being mostly about the campaign and election, I look back to Post #1 where the guidelines for the thread were stated:

I will...

Well at least the ads will be over... There's at least that to be thankful for.

I heard on the radio yesterday that a few of the political pundits are saying, "....should the President delay the election because of Hurricane Sandy?" It's amazing to me how little some of these...

I can only try, I can only try......;):LOL::LOL::LOL:;)

Yeah, but can you imagine the added costs to all of the lobbyist's, having to "train" that many new legislators??:eek::o:o:o:rolleyes::p

My sister is in Shippensburg, PA, and they are getting rain now, but no big winds yet which are expected soon. She's hoping for the power and water to remain on, which is their biggest worry.

On a positive note -

I guess I heard Romney say that these programs needed to be given back to the states where they can be administered much more efficiently than at the federal level. I would then take it a step...

Well, we disagree on the minority issue. In the cities I believe it can be quickly verified that the vast majority of those on the welfare role are violating the system in one way or another, and...

Dave,
I've seen several times the statement, "People do not go on welfare because they prefer it to making a decent wage". That may be true in South Dakota, and I won't argue that it's true for...

Nope, definitely not the only incumbent to make a show of traveling home to vote, and will not be the last. My point is that it was still an opportunity lost, IMO. Seems that there is no...

Ya' know, that could have been done to create a valuable "campaign moment", him and Michelle walking out to the corner mailbox with their advance ballots, placing the stamps on the corner, and then...

I think that perhaps the FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) may be the answer, with hydrogen as the fuel, derived from Natural Gas. Some of the prototypes since 2009 have gone over 250 miles between...

For me, investing in alternative energy is a necessary cost, but the point of that list is that the way the money was handled in this latest round of "stimulus" borders on being criminal. There was...

I would support new campaign rules limiting the campaigning to a month, and putting a spending limit of $500,000 on each campaign, not counting the cost of a three debate series during that month. ...

I agree!! I heard last night on the news that after being bombarded with complaints the FTC is at wit's end trying to figure out how to address the "robo call" process on political ads, and they...

I agree with that last statement wholeheartedly, Dave, and in my mind we have one of two candidates saying exactly that, but not two.

IMO the worst possible thing that anyone can do at this point is to communicate that "...it's in the bag", "...the tide has turned", or any other message that conveys that any individual vote may not...

Yep, done right, low head hydro is a win-win approach for everyone! It just does not have the capacity to be the primary source of power for very many people, and with today's equipment costs it's...

Sounds like a nice low head hydro system, Charlie. Dam the river every three or four miles, and get whatever power can be generated by the normal flow of the river. Not much capacity, but good,...

And this one, too, since the war on terrorism has been won....:mad::mad:

So what type of alternative energy do you believe is viable to stop the use of oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear power, and please be specific.

Really?? I was not going to dive into this discussion again, but your statement about the killing of Bin Laden echoes the statements made by POTUS following the successful raid by Seal Team 6 - "I...

I fear that you are right once again, Shine.

To me the tragedy of Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and Iran is not that we are there, but that our CIC has declared the battles won, the Taliban "..on it's...
