We need a #1 WR, not a #2. We got the #2 down with Evans.

And the people who laughed at him are the same people in the media who see the "great insights" and "wisdom" of this administration who are trying to do something to "save the economy". While I didn't agree with him on some issues, the only guy who ran for president who had the only real solution was Ron Paul. Go watch the videos of him 2 years ago, 5 years ago, and this guy is spot on how to fix the economy.

More like a Prius.

Every team that tries that forgets that have to be tall, and big to make an impact with great ball-hawking capacities. We went short and not explosive at #8. Worked great!!!

I include Whitner in that same breath.

I think if the leader had a "R" next to his name his answer wouldn't be the same.

A good thing for Americans TODAY. A terrible thing for Americans TOMORROW and for years to come. That's why I love democracy, we vote for people who want to be re-elected in a few years who do everything in their power to see what they have done in 4 years without any accountability and partisan in-fighting.

If only they could all be impeached, all of them, with very few exceptions. I have another idea, why not review if they have taken their oath about upholding the Constitution. That would eliminate 99.5% of them.

Here's the real stimulus: Cut social programs by 90% and only fund people who have paid in. People who have paid into unemployment should get their money back and people on welfare are on their own unless they have paid in. Drop the Department of Education and let it be a state and local thing Bring our troops home and stop empire building Deregulate business and eliminate corporate taxes Stop subsidizing mortgages and let the free-market determine the rates and down-payments Eliminate the income tax Destroy the "free-trade" agreements Problem solved. Debt free in 10 years and we won't be destroying our children's future.

So think now, just really think for a second... How does that produce anything to make an economy work? Where does that money come from and how does moving money on credit that is not self-sustaining without means of producing something actually stimulate anything other than increase the amount of debt we have? Or are you saying we stimulate 2009 and screw our children over with more debt because we can't live within our means? I know to liberals it's very hard to grasp basic economic principles, but I implore you to use the brain that our wonderful education system that needs MORE MONEY to help us think, without teaching formal logic anymore, to come to an intelligent conclusion.

It shows how little you know. Congrats, you've just repeated the party lie... oops, the party line. Show me how the private sector screwed the gov't. I'll bet you $1,000 to your $1 I'll rip you apart on your cheap arguments.

True conservativism is the way to go, not Republicanism. Republicans have not been truly "conservative", except in small parts, in a long time. I have not heard a Republican in a position of power who was for civil liberties, small government, destroying unConstitutional programs, restoring the free market, and bringing back liberty who had any authority to make a change in this country in almost 150 years. Goldwater was close. The person with the most power who held views closest mine since then was Robert Taft, and the Republicans sand-bagged him twice in the presidential race because he was too "conservative". The thing to do is to let the markets determine the value of the debt, not re-inflating it while causing an inflationary nightmare. Recessions and depressions are nothing in comparison with runaway inflation. Republicans by and large are not small government, they are not civil liberties, and they are not for the free-market, but managed trade with agreements destroying American workers. In the 6 years they were in power they did think American first, but let me be the first to say that the Democrats in this country do not love anything this country was founded on. They are so abhorrent I cannot understand how anyone would support them unless they get free money, or some member of their family does, or they are flat out jealous of others. Political liberalism is a parasite on what exists and seeks to expand power by increasing dependence knowing that people backed into the corner will vote away responsibility to the collective "they". The rich who promote liberalism are the hypocrites who want the programs with the CPAs making sure they pay the least possible to those programs. I'm all for helping others, but only out of self-initiative and charity. People weren't dying in the streets before welfare. If you study the history and gov't leaks of what happened they purposely did so to undermine society and control it. Marx wasn't wrong when he said democracies will all turn socialist eventually. I don't believe in democracy and never have. I don't believe in 2 parties, and I don't believe that voting or having partisan ideologies, over principled ideologies, has any place in government.

TARP was not a good idea, and since when has spending been given that wasn't abused through the gov't? That's the problem Kelly, and if the private sector did the same thing they would be laughed to scorn. The real "free-marketers" aren't helped in the least and have to use innovation to survive and keep the country solvent. Everyone else is like a parasite on the innovative and profitable companies. How will TARP solve that? We got into this mess with gov't and more gov't is not going to solve it. Guaranteeing debt was the problem to begin with and making more guarantees and re-inflating the bubble is not the solution, but the principle of the problem.

Also... everything on the 17 bypass northwest of 21st St is very nice.

I used to live there for 4 months. Nice place. The worst area is right over the bridge on the west side where 501 hits N Kings Hwy. Stay far away. Everything off Kings Hwy is pretty stellar once you go past the mall heading to N Myrtle. The golf courses as you mention are great areas to live with big upside in future appreciation. That area is growing economically and I haven't lived there since 95' but I went back in 2006 and it grew up even more. The area has huge upside, although the place is still a deadzone from Oct to March. Also, for great good go to the Sea Captain's on Ocean Highway. The food is extremely good.

Moderation is not a virtue. Truth is not moderate and is not a compromise between one extreme and another. Just because 2+2 doesn't equal 1 or 1,000,000 doesn't mean 500,000 is the answer. We got into this mess with spending, and spending and consumption is not the answer. Bluefire is dead-on. Bi-partisanship in this country is nothing more than agreements to destroy mutually rather than in a partisan manner.

I'm saying you can take your sanctimonious outcry of hypocrisy against your own first and foremost, then turn to people like myself. Darin doesn't take a side, but I'm a paleo-conservative and proudly so. I'm not a Republican first, I'm a conservative first. Most Repubs haven't served the interest of freedom and small government in a long, long time and the hijacking of Taft and Buchanan tell me more about "Republican" conservatism than you can imagine. My point is, and it was lost on you, that your sham cry of "everyone's doing it" is so egregiously stupid without looking at the cause that I find it humorous that you won't look at the point of the thread, which is that the people who want big gov't don't want to fund it. That's true hypocrisy, and not people like your screaming "well you do it too!"

How did the last 2 years with the Dems running Congress go and what is different between what Bush did in those 2 years and what Obama is proposing? Amuse me.

Yes they are. You should study your history better and world economics. Repeating the lies of someone else without an objective view of history is a horrible thing. Compare Carter to Reagan.

Romney just said he is for lowering taxes and getting real stimulus going. Allow businesses the ability to grow because companies grow the economy, not government. He is saying this is a growth of gov't, not business. (this is me adding to it) What they should do is strip the unions of the strength, deregulate business and allow business to open, bring our jobs back home, increase tariffs on foreign goods and end "Free Trade" which is managed trade, and stop the false dichotomy of supply and demand side economic arguments to have a production and export economy which is the only true stimulus there is. Everything else is a joke and it won't work. Our trade imbalances are the #1 reason this economy will never turn around. Dems want to regulate business out of business, and the Reps want to allow illegals to take over our jobs. You can't blame capitalism as we haven't had capitalism in 80 years.

And I'll bet you the people who have were against those taxes to begin with and did not force them on others to pay for their policies to foist socialism on others. What kind of dumbass would say what you did without realizing the people who you criticize are the same people who are against the programs they are funding? You are comparing people who were against such spending and taxes to begin with to the people who enforce them on others to build a false constituency based on consumption that will vote "Laziness" and "Change" over common sense economics. Go blow your triumphalistic brand of hypocrisy where it is warranted on the people who want this SH*T.

What happened to "Hope"? As soon as he walks in office he predicts the end when all he campaigns is sunny tomorrows the day his tomorrow becomes today. It was like he was singing the Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog and now he's the Curmudgeon of the Century. He's bringing Change, and none of it will work except to destroy the dollar. Inflationary depressions are much better than allowing a recession to happen. Thanks Dems for stimuluses and rebate checks. Thanks to the last 2 presidents who are foolishly believing this works.

Actually it can be substantiated with #s and has been. 0 INTs and 1 PD for the past 2 years are numbers that are irrefutable. If you believe those are OK numbers and don't bear mention to the objective fact he sucks in coverage keep convincing yourself, but against a fact there is no argument. Agreed Agreed The question is, as you and I have stated, is the team that much better with or without him? So far I see little to no difference with Wilson and Scott than Scott and Whitner. It stands to reason why the team had Scott defend the TE from San Diego over Whitner with no starting experience before that game except to fill-in for injuries. Whitner does nothing special, nothing outstanding, and if he's worth saving money cutting he's worth cutting and saving the dough. Let other teams "snatch him up." I would dare say Leonard gives us the same production at a fraction of the cost.

From who? What does he do on this team that really stands out? Will someone tell me because all this Whitner-worship is laughable.

Too funny brother.
