    When Dem primary winner Marianne Williamson becomes President she's bringing back Bolton in a big way.

    Here he is singing the DNC Theme Song:

    Please provide a CREDIBLE link that backs this up, otherwise you've just proved to everyone you're not a real account.

    Good, dude was a war hawk. I much prefer to have a strong military that doesn’t fight than needless war and killing.

    Well, they gotta justify inflating the military budget somehow.

    The Spectrum, a magazine put out by the largest professional organization in the world, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, I triple E) once had an article on what do when you disagree with your boss. They suggested that you should make your case as strong as you feel the need and if you boss rejects you then you try and make his way work. Of course, all this means nothing if the boss wants to do something unethical or illegal.

    We disagree frequently. I voice it to him, explain my reasoning, but ultimately if he wants to go a different direction. I back off, and try to do exactly that, make his way work.

    Sometimes he backs off and decides to go my way, theres give and take. Sometimes we really aren't even close, but Ive never felt like my job was at stake...

    That's the way it should be.
    I had a lead engineer try to get me to cheat the government. I refused except to say okay I'll do it if you'll sign for it. That was the end of our relationship. By the way, he said if I told anyone what he said it would be my word against his. I was just glad to never have to deal with him again.

    I had a great boss initially when I went into sales for the company I worked for. He was VP at the time and his main duty was sales and he was great at bouncing ideas off of and usually would support what the salesman decided. Towards the latter part of my years his son became VP and he was almost the complete opposite as he thought he knew it all and there was only one way to do something and that was his way. It made the job less enjoyable.

    But you voted against and rail against the man who ran on this platform and has been successfully implementing it?

    Your guy never had a platform....he's incapable of governing or basic honesty at all. Fake president if there ever was one. He cozied up to the hawks to get the red states...the anti immigration folks...the anti abortion folks....the people who ran his campaign are mostly in prison now or disgraced...you get what you vote for. 44 people in high positions he hired and endorsed have quit or been fired. Clowntown…..don't let the guy fool you again.

    Yes, if I disagree with my boss, he's still really my boss.

    Do you honestly believe that employees are beholden to agree with every position held by their employers?

    When I was working at Emerson Electric my boss came to me and told me I had to support a 20 year old girl who was a junior in college because her dad was the President of one of our major subsidiaries, Rigid Tools. That pissed me off since I was a senior engineer working on important projects such as a Gulf War weapon. I quit Emerson and went to work for Boeing. My boss? He got fired as did his boss and they both lost all their benefits for defrauding the government totally unbeknownst to me. I was knew to military projects and those two bosses would take turns calling me by phone and telling me what charge account numbers to use and how much time to put on each one. I had no idea what that meant but my boss told me to do it so it must be on the up and up. When I got to Boeing they carefully told me what was ethical and legal and what was not. It was at that time that I realized how I'd been duped at Emerson Electric Co. It was also about that time that someone in my old group told me what had happened to those two bosses.

    Lesson, use some effort to make sure that what your boss tells you what to do is both ethical and legal before you proceed.
