which isn't what I said, how? Um...so that Glenn Beck rally, you know...the one that centered around God and Religion..that wasn't a Tea Party event? If you honestly think the tea-partiers aren't just super right republicans, you're in denial. I think his approval rating is where it is because there is always a honeymoon period. Had 9/11 happened, Bush's ratings wouldn't have spiked and then slowly tanked. I don't know what they'd do, but there is no way they would've gone up to 90% (or whatever they were) artificially due to the attacks. You mean independent voters who weren't going to vote democrat (or for Obama) anyway. If anything, these "independent" voters are just more vocal now. There would be people against it. There is always people against candidates in the other party, even if that candidate has lead the country to a surplus. Such as Clinton.
Nope. They're not at all talking like republicans. Clinton's job approval was over 60% even during his impeachment. Without independents, Obama would never have won the presidency. Sure there would, but I'm not a fan of either party. I wanted Bush to succeed, I wanted Clinton to succeed. For the same reasons.
Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush...Sarah Palin. Most Americans are not very bright, and rest easier when they think morons are in charge. Smart leaders make them feel insecure and impotent. Otherwise the Republicans would not pick a cowardly idiot like Chris Dudley as their candidate when they have many much wiser people chomping at the bit to run.
Long time no see Max, what have you been up to? Probably important things, nice to see you can take the time out of your busy schedule to accomodate us "little people" every once in awhile.
How's the new colon? I hope you're feeling better. As for me, I've been in the final throes of raising money for a new fund. The ghost of Bernie Madoff is kicking the crap out of me, however. All trust in the business is gone.
You trusted your dough with Madoff? Damn, that sucks! Don't have the new (semi) colon until Oct. 19th, but I'm doing good. Once the new plumbing is in order I can hit the gym and get back to work, I can't wait.
I was referring to the idea that I'm asking people to give me their money and not returning their principal for 10 years. Madoff has scared everyone from what was a pretty typical fund setup. We're having to jump through all kinds of hoops to be more transparent, which mostly just means a lot more reporting rather than investing. Best of luck. I have a friend with colitis and she's terrified that's will be the ultimate result.
Tell your friend that life is much better without the colon if she has colitis. I never really had a chance to terrified, because it was "acute, onset fulminant colitis". Its important to go through the best Dr.s. If she has any questions tell her to go to Jpouch.org. She'll have all her questions answered. Check out this guy I know named Daleer who used the same surgeon I used.[video=youtube;EDoujZ1K8ww]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDoujZ1K8ww[/video] Sorry for derailing your thread.
