I'd be in favor of this if all we were paying was a VAT. But since that is not the case, then I'm not in favor of more taxes.
How does one tar and feather someone figuratively? Do you call them nasty names? I bet that'd do it.
Zoom: "And, BTW, Adam Lanza did NOT obtain his guns legally. He STOLE them."
Nah: Lanza had his mother's permission to handle her guns; he just didn't have her permission to kill her.
Too bad she wasn't carrying.
Perhaps noitall, but in typical Texas style, there was a taint of superiority in the tone as I perceived! That being said, Betsy was IMHO pretty much spot on in her analysis! Of course, to SOME negative nabobs, NOTHING she could do would suffice.
As a native Tennessean who lives about 80 miles from Nashville, I think the entire point is moot. During my brief residence in Nashville, it came to my attention that being a "native" was an anomaly. No one, it appeared, was "from" Nashville. They all moved here from elsewhere. ;) (And no-- there is no reason to give this list much attention. Nor the author. Both are invalid.)
NeverFear: That would fly in face of the "more kids + more food-stamps and ADC money fiction that is perpetrated by the holier than thou crowd!
And yet, here I am, schooling you...
This is fun! Please, keep on.
Couldn't even finish reading this article. Shame on the author for hurting others by not listening to her own heart.
Me too AnglRdr! Goats would be almost as awesome as LARP on that rooftop.
Yes, I have much to learn, as do you. Unfortunately, you aren't qualified to do any teaching.
Steven,
" In the wake of his retirement, one can easily imagine voters who realize they were more loyal to Henry than to his party, creating a potential opening for the right Republican candidate."
Roughly what % of the old district that was not overwhelming Democratic is still in the new district? That would give us an idea of how many non-Democratic pro-Henry voters might be available for the Republicans to snag. I suspect the percentage is much smaller than your article suggests.
His frustration is completely understandable, and the *desire* to solve the problem as a vigilante is very strong: people who use their cellphones in a theater of any variety should be tarred and feathered, at least figuratively.
But you just do not touch other people's shit.
But, champ, the thing is you do care, which is why you keep responding to me.
*That's* how good I am at controlling the narrative.
You have much to learn, sport.
Oh, just have at it, sweetheart. Whenever you "remind" me of it, I'll be sure to tell you how much I care.
Keep trying to control the narrative. Just know that you really suck at it.
I can see the roof from my office. Goats would be delightful to watch!
It wasn't an order, punkin; it was advice.
By all means, continue acting like a pissant. Whine when you get treated like one, and I'll remind you of this conversation.
Stop trying to give people orders, AnglRdr. You aren't in a position to tell anyone else what to do.
Up yours.
"District 21 is historically blue, having been represented by Henry for more than 40 years. It is considered to be even more left-leaning after Republicans redrew the district lines in 2011."
