lol.. Do you just close your mind to anything that your don't imagine to be true? Iraq has been explained thoroughly several time. You intentionally ignoring that does not make you correct. You disagreeing with the reasoning does not make you correct. It has been explained, it has been hashed out.
The fact that someone else did something you do not like does not validate another person doing something considered wrong either. You are a confused person. Logic must have found you and hid behind a dumpster or something. Because I'm not seeing it in your comment.
Something like this is needed though, and I'm heartened to see it happening.
I'm all for a clearing house or one stop shop for the votes and reasoning's, stated positions, and stuff. I'm just against a grading system. It's not like this is the NRA and everything anti X is bad. There will be times where X is neutral and people or tech in and of itself can benefit from X or -X. Hell, even the concept of bringing X to the table can be seen as both good and bad. Look at the concept of Net Neutrality.
What is your point. Everyone has things they will and will not support. It's more like putting their "ideology" before their "ideology".
Suppose the bill said increases in NASA and Science funding but repealed all the banking regulations. You would be a fool to vote yes for it. Suppose a bill barred states from taxing the internet but at the same time, barred judges from considering any type of case involved with someone who has a concealed carry permit over the use of the firearm.
I can think of hundreds if not more of reasons why I would vote against something I supported if it meant someone I was against being passed. If you wouldn't, then I can point to a person who is behind a large part of the reason why the country is so screwed up right now. The government constantly tacks on unpopular legislation to popular legislation because they know it won't pass on its own. The process is called a rider or attaching a rider and it's more then common.
It will be good until they start grading politicians. The problem is that not all interests in tech will be the same interests as the person grading them. It will become just another ideological ranting before it's done. We have a lot of them already.
What we need is not a grading system but a way to see the history of a politician's votes and any claimed reasoning for it. For instance, I'm for spending money on STEM programs but I wouldn't vote for a bill doing it if it meant funding abortions with tax money or raising taxes. There are other things that someone might find they cannot digest in a bill.
You are completely wrong on this. The feds cannot even prosecute a murder case in a state unless it somehow crosses state lines or happens on government controlled lands. States can and do often set minimum wage rates under what the federal minimum wage is and unless a company does enough business to impact interstate commerce, the lower minimum wage rules. That's just two examples.
Ask you civics teacher about this. If you are out of school, sue them for failing to educate you.
some decades back tariffs and bans on importation of general purpose steel were put in place to protect the US steel industry, which was functioning well at the time but did not want to be undercut by low quality imports.
Actually, it was China dumping steel. The cheap steel being dumped was heavily subsidized by the Chinese government. Dumping has a specific meaning and it eventually was the basis that allowed tariffs through international trade agreements. but go on.
Without the threat of competition US steelmakers had no need to innovate and had the ability to increase prices.
It had nothing to do with incentives to innovate. China dumped subsidized steel in the US market and even the most efficient steel processes would not have allowed us to compete on price because they were subsidizing the production of the steel. That's historical fact. but go on.
The rest of your statement I agree with. The note of exception is that the Chinese steel was subsidized by the government and unless the government would absorb the costs of the steel industry, it wouldn't have been able to compete no matter what. Unions running rampant and lazy companies most likely contributed to it also. But the dumping of the steel is what close a large portion of the steel plants.
1. I live in coal country and most people around here do not believe they are speaking metaphorically. 2. Regardless, your assertion is stupid and unsupported by facts. Calling it a war minimizes actual struggles.
I do live near coal country and know a lot of people who work in the coal mines. They all think Obama and the government is out to close the mines down. I do not know what you call coal country but there seems to be a large disconnect between what you are saying and what I know to be real. BTW, I'm MSHA certified and have spent several years doing maintenance work in several coal mines across Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.
Each time you say "war on coal" in a serious way, you bring down the IQ of the room. Please stop doing it. It rained today because of Obama's war on sunshine. The NY Giants lost their football game because of Obama's war on the NY Giants. Any other wars to blame on Nobama?
Obama is attacking the use of coal whether you want to close your eyes and ignore it or not. The only one bringing the IQ of the room down is you when you insist it isn't happening. It was a damn campaign promise of his in 2008.
There is no reason to expect any changes on the coal front. The easier seams are already mined. Cleaner options, such as natural gas, are plentiful and economic. There will be coal mined and used for quite a while, but not on the scale once seen. And despite the ignorant ranting of those opposed to Obama, it has nothing to do with a fantasy war on coal.

Actually there is, Obama campaigned on it in 2008, he has directed the EPA to step on it and they are trying. When the nation's regulatory agencies- by the direction of the president, take on new powers of regulation all the sudden and attacks the coal industry without an act of congress, what do you call it besides an attack on those industries? Its a war on coal whether you want to believe it or not.
Now I understand you love the democrats and the thought of anything that might be damaging to them is disturbing to you, but reality does not match your position here. The reality does not match Sherod Brown's ignoring it. The reality is that there is a war on the coal industry by the administration and it is happening through the regulatory agencies under his control and President Obama as well as Vice President Biden has more then said it was going to happen. You can close your eyes and believe the lies you hold dear or you could do just a cursory examination and find the truth.
This seems to be a common conservative idea. You shouldn't be discouraged from voting just because you might not be a lawyer. Not having a law degree is not what makes someone "freaking stupid".
The "freaking stupid" will assume committing a felony is the stupid thing, which is always correct, but they also won't appreciate how they might do it by mistake next week, even if they do have an ID, which is stupid.
Ok, first, none of the billboards said anything about an ID. I can't find anything anywhere saying they did. IT just said voter fraud is illegal and listed the max penalties. No one has to be a lawyer to understand what fraud is. You are severely underestimating the intellect of the poor and minorities. Well, that or your pissed because they might have been scared into not committing voter fraud.
Most of us are not lawyers. Or we know we have been too lazy or busy to have read through all these new piles of mischievously finely-printed shitty new state legislation. It has been carefully designed by lawyers to be as confusing and intimidating as possible to the smarter half of the electorate. Anyone swift enough to realize how voting now exposes a legitimate voter to this widely-advertised risk of being charged with a felony might see how voting runs against their own self-interest. And the authors of the laws can obviously see who does and doesn't cast votes with their own self-interest in mind. That much should be obvious to everybody by now.
It's pretty simple. I'm not sure what is so damn difficult for you here. You register to vote, you show up to your polling place and vote only as yourself and only vote once. Problem completely solved. None of all that layer talk comes into play unless you try to vote as someone other then yourself, aren't registered to vote, or vote more then once in the same election.
I did bother myself to read that... basically another ambush on a Democratic headquarters by that costumed Republican guy running around asking people how to commit voter fraud to make videos of their answers. Some guy was dumb enough to humor the guy and explained all the hypotheticals involved in doing that legally, saying get-out-the-vote efforts are easier, and the clown made a clip from part of it. Of course all this clown's scandal videos look nasty, but if you can find one that didn't start with him, egging someone on for advice about how he might break the law, I will pay $5 million dollars to a charity of your choice.
You can dismiss it all you want. It doesn't change the fact that the field director of a campaign off the top of his head new exactly how to do it, spent a good amount of time discussing how not to get caught, told him about forging a utility bill, gave advice on how to make sure they aren't going to vote by calling as a pollster to verify. This has a deeper meaning then someone with a camera.
In case *you* aren't bothered to read links to that site, it's another story from Virginia, this one about the Republican voter registration worker who separated a bunch of forms from Democrats and then tossed them into a dumpster on his way past a discount store. If the store manager hadn't spotted that, those people would be going to jail next week for trying to vote.
I already knew about that. however, you got a few details off in your description. The guy was not a republican, his political affiliation is unknown at this time. The affiliation of the registrations thrown away are unknown too. The guy worked for a company the republicans contracted with. That company assigned him to those duties not republicans and no one is saying that either the company or the republicans ordered him
They do not have to drive the costs up, just maintain the costs as it stood before the dumping. They could even allow it to drop some too. The point is that if there ever was a legitimate role for Keynesian economics, this would be it and in this way.
There's too much going on to be able to even find "imports that degrade locally derived businesses" which don't also help other "locally derived businesses".
Well, you can tell that to the steal mills that shut down and went out of business when China was dumping their cheap nickel laden steal. You can do the same with the subsidized lumber industry. And while we are thinking of it, same with the oil industry and domestic production. All that happened within the last two to three decades and although while they waited until it was too late for the steal issues, they got the lumber in time and we ended up in war with Iraq.
The point is, when it happens, all it needs to be done is pointed out. That was happening in all three of those industries well before the tipping point and something was done.
A war on coal was when the coal operators murdered miners for trying to organize a union. They put a Gatling gun on a flatbed train car and rolled through a tent camp of miners, spraying bullets. The US military was finally called out to put the miners in their place when they decided to fight back. That was a war. What you're talking about is chicken shit political mudslinging.
lol.. You know damn well it was metaphorically speaking idiot. Your quibble does not in any way make what I o the GP said incorrect. In fact, it seems to be a distraction at best.
You really consider it a war when the federal government finally makes the corporations that profit from coal bear some percentage of the cost it takes on the rest of us? A hundred years of dead miners, polluted waters, destroyed landscapes, polluted air, lung diseases, cancers, etc, but expecting coal operators to spend money on safety or power plants on technology to remove some of the pollutants and we have a war? My dad is currently laid off from an underground coal mine due to the downturn in the coal industry, just like he was laid off plenty of times 30 years ago during downturns in the coal industry. The current downturn in the coal industry is driven by last year's extremely warm winter and all-time low natural gas prices. Coal mining employment was higher under Obama than Bush until earlier this year.
Yep, your dad is out of work because of the war on coal. HE should start training to do something else in life because even if he gets called back to work, he will be left without a job soon unless something changes on that coal front.
Does it mean "if you look hispanic or arabic, we'll harass you at the polling station and possibly attempt to intimidate you in other ways"?
How in the hell do you get that? Besides, if they were going to harass Hispanics and middle eastern decent people, first, they would do it whether or not there was a billboard and second, if they can take that from the words voter fraud is illegal, they are more then likely already used to it and expecting it negating anything the billboard would be accomplishing in real life.
You might want to recheck what "democracy" means. If the "unwashed masses" vote something stupid, well, that's democracy in action. But, then, I guess you're just against democracy.
Wow, transliterate much? I said I wouldn't be happy with it not that they couldn't. So keep your conclusions to yourself and do not attempt to impress what you are thinking onto my statements. I was clear in what I said, its your fault, not mine if you can't get it.
Well, by definition you can't count what wasn't caught.
Sure.. And I said that we know people discuss ways and appear to be planning on attempting it from various sources.
As for finding people who attempt voter fraud, well that's just more examples of those who are caught which is really a counterexample to the idea that people aren't being caught.
No, because talking about it and discussing it isn't exactly against the law. You wanting to group it together is like someone waiting until the last minute to stop when a light is turning red because if you are in the intersection when that happens you ge to go the rest of the way through. Except you are wanting to count the people who do not get caught running the red light and stop before that happens as a statistic in running red lights. It simply does not compute with reality.
The issue is how often it actually succeeds. That's much closer to an unknowable and it's really unclear how ID cards fix that in any way any more than magic rocks would, as invariably voter fraud tends to attack the ballot box, not the voter registry check list. After all, the former allows you to grossly manipulate the results; the latter tends to have much more minimal results for all the effort, which only tends to be most useful in closer races of which more scrutiny should at least hypothetically make voter fraud of all sorts more generally difficult.
I'm sorry that you think a magic rock would protect against something like that. I'm also not sure what your distrust in validating the voting to ensure they are who they say they are has to do with a billboard that says voter fraud is a crime. I don't see that as an issue.
That isn't to say I don't appreciate the presumed logic of Voter ID laws. I just question their real effectiveness, their basis for necessity--purple fingers work just as well--, and in the end just how much fear or paranoia is driving a request for change--the last point really making me against the whole idea, as fear or paranoia are very bad bases for law. But, *shrug*, that's life.
Well, I'm for ensuring the voter is the actual voter. I'm not sure I'm all for a photo ID only, but other records can be used as far as I'm concerned. I think the registration databases should be shared to the effect of checking to make sure someone in one state or district isn't registered in another and voting in both. That can remove duplicates from the register and If the voting precinct doesn't have the name listed, they can issue a provisional ballot until it gets squared away. But then again, I'm not sure what this has to do with a billboard reminding people voter fraud is illegal.
Tax exempt entities would not be required to pay taxes in order to appease the bible. The rule you quoted is very perverted in that sense. It was about the government making demands of the people that seemed contrary to religious practice. If there is no demand, there is no problem not paying the tax. It follows the very essence of the passage.
It's not really a serious problem for Christians. The entire evolution observation is by design and is the result of creation (and no, I'm not arguing intelligent design). God told man they had domain over the earth and part of that dominion would be understanding and controlling nature for our own purposes. If a God did create the world and universe, give man the title of master, and free will to do as we please, it would need and explorable beginning that we could leverage in this furtherance to satisfy our hunger for knowledge and cure diseases and crap he created.
I don't see any incompatibilities until someone says only one can exist or that one proves the other wrong. But if there was a being powerful enough to create the entire planet, stars and life as we know it, creating the framework for understanding it would be almost as trivial. So no problems here.
yeah, but you got nervous when the guy on the other side of the room kept looking at you. How many days did it take to convince you it was just your reflection in the mirror?
First, it isn't even a treaty. Second, the constitution only gives congress the power to change elections, therefor any treaty that does so would be negated until such time congress passed the law. A treaty cannot change the constitution- it is above all laws and all treaties.
umm... Obama said before being elected that he planned on make coal powered electricity so expensive they couldn't make a profit. The EPA has decided that Co2 is a pollutant and is imposing some of the most strict regulations on the use of coal that the US has seen.
This stuff isn't a secret, just use your google finger.
Not if Romney has his way (even if Obama adopts his policies on this).
If the US labels China a currency manipulator, we can place tariffs on imports that degrade locally derived businesses without violation Trade Agreements. The further sets the stage for international authority to do the same if they try to dump products onto the market with the intent of damaging domestic business.
domestic businesses are pretty much guaranteed they won't be bankrupt because of dumping if the US government stands up.
Where exactly is it that there is no voter ID law and these billboards are being set up? I'm curious to if this is actually happening or if you are just making it up. A google search shows nothing of the sort.
Some advice, when you cannot follow a thread and jump around without completing thoughts and make crap arguments that show your not able to comprehend the conversation, don't post.
Actually, the left does mean the left of republicans in American politics. It is a reference to distinguish between the two.
Whatever scale you seem to want to use has absolutely no relevance here at all. Democrats are left of republicans, liberals are left of conservatives, Republicans are right of democrats, conservatives are right of liberals. Do you see how that works?
If you insist on using some external scale, then try to refrain your comments to politics in some other area where that scale might be applicable. In the US, it is not.
lol.. I did not say republicans were innocent angels. I said the democrats are not either. I don't really know what your post has to do with that point.
Do you somehow think that because someone else did something bad, it justifies another person's wrong doings? I hope the hell not.
Umm.. that appears to be missing some information. I was trying to verify it because it seems that only the conservative sites picked it up, but evidently a federal judge seems to think Obama political appointees were directly involved in the actions.

You do not need deep thinking. Fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual.
