t6 totally agree with you. It’s been said the Constitution is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
Re gay marriage, i’m generally in favor, altho don’t care much either way. But as a good libertarian, not sure that the gvment should stand in the way of two adults who want to sign a contract.
Oh really? Perhaps your memory is sketchy, so let me remind you that in 2004 George Bush ran for his second term explicitly on the issue of staying the course in Iraq. He won that election. Unlike the left has done on the issues I mentioned above, he put his ideas out there for the people to vote on.
“-passing an unpopular law that mandates that folks buy health insurance for themselves, at risk of penalty and/or jail. By the way, this past week, in a non-binding referendum, 71% of the folks in Missouri expressed their disapproval of this mandate.”
Still not as bad as spending billions on an unpopular war.
“dh, currrent administration continues to spend the money on the unpopular war. In fact, they are spending more!!!!!!”
sometimes it’s really hard to pull out when in the middle of something.

“THE PROBLEM today is that everything is based on polling of the uninformed public.”
Tybur6;
Thank you for reinforcing my point so well.
Remember====> November is coming!!!
Because capital gains are quite rightly taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income. Yawn.
It may have been a lower rate, ENY but it amounted to more dollars. You don’t pay bills with rates.
You know that capital gains are taxed at a different rate than ordinary income, right?
