Sports Illustrated coaching change article
Magox replied to Superman12975's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
From my perspective, this team has more talent than any time I can remember in the past 10 years and we are about to record our second worst record ( I believe) during that time span. Not only are we not improving, we're getting worse. The playcalling and clock management has been putrid and the fact that Gailey has a bizarre determination to not give Spiller the ball more often, metaphorically speaking is down right criminal. Yes, I'm sure he's given it his best and yes I believe he's a good man, but in order for change, it is in my opinion that our voices of disgust must be heard. -

I don't see much of a difference. One is self-inflicted and the other is tool that can be used for malicious intent. Death is death, and if you are going to restrict any tool that causes death or a means to it, than for the sake of consistency you would have to include, cholesterol, sugar, smoking, drinking, etc. etc. -

Why is it important for you to know who has a legal right to carry a gun? Specially considering that those who are legally able to carry a gun are much more apt to not commit a crime than those who aren't. That's a fact. If anything, all this did other than needlessly agitate people was make homeowners who are not on the list more of a target than those listed. -

All of them. To go back to the topic of the nearly impossible task Boehner had, earlier in the year, Pelosi backed taxing millionaires. http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-congress/2012/12/hoyer-pelosi-engaged-in-political-ploy-152289.html Then earlier in the year, Shumer backed a millionaire's tax, remember, the Buffett Rule. The fact that Boehner accepted raising rates is a huge compromise. The original deal had 800B in tax increases, his new proposal had 1.2 Trillion. Very unpopular bill with R's. So rather than trying to make this work, Pelosi who earlier backed this plan, whipped up the votes so that it wouldn't go through. R's could of had have more than half of their caucus support this unpopular bill, but there was no support from any D's. If the D's would of supported it, the president would of basically had the Buffett rule pass, which is something that D's advocated. As I said, they keep moving the goal posts. -

The concept of raising taxes on the rich has always been a popular concept. What's funny to me is that while the Election was going, the only thing that left-leaning folks could talk about was "Mitt Romney doesn't care about the poor", "Mitt Romney is heartless and is a vulture capitalist", "Mitt Romney evades taxes", "Mitt Romney doesn't stand up to the extremist voices of the R Party". That's all they talked about, now that the election is over, they believe that Obama has a mandate on his economic policies. Nice -

He did win the election. But let's be real here, the election wasn't about the opposing visions, polls even the one's I thought were skewed consistently showed that people preferred Mitt Romney on the Economy over Obama. The election was about how Mitt Romney didn't care about the poor (some self-inflicted wounds, but mostly hundreds of millions of dollars worth of personal attack ads), how he evaded taxes, how he shuttered factories, his stance on immigration and the perceived view that the R party is anti woman. The only real mandate of this past election is immigration reform. Other than that, there is no mandate. -

Mitt didn't want to be President....

This doesn't surprise me one bit, everything I've read about him from real personal accounts from friends, coworkers and parishioners has said that he was always an unusually selfless person. -
What The Republican Party Needs To Do
Magox replied to Rob's House's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
1) Rebrand the party for the 21st century 2) Take on Immigration Reform and become much more inclusive to the Latino population. I wrote about this many times on this board well before the elections and received a lot of resistance from my conservative friends. 3) Stop nominating loons as Senate Candidates Oh and I was one of the people on this board that thought that the polling numbers skewed heavily towards Democrats. Well I was off by a mile -

Yeah, unfortunately I am. Well, from my perspective I feel like most things are overpriced. That the markets are/were too confident that something would get resolved. But with the power of printing presses it seems to distort everything. So I'm not really sure. But if we happen to be correct and we fall into a technical recession than you would think that the market would drop. Typically as a rule of thumb, recessions = 20% drops from highs. I don't know -
Gas prices are near records for this time of the year, food prices set to soar, tuitions continuing to rise at ridiculous levels, health insurance premiums still rising rapidly.. But The CPI says there is nothing to worry about. So, just forget about what it is that you actually spend some of your money on and go by the CPI

Joe Scarborough is a conservative. He just happens to work on MSNBC and he has to appeal to his audience.

Boehner had a nearly impossible task.. He's got a house that is dominated by a number of fiscal hawks and a W.H that predominantly fears its base. We're probably at the very least heading into a mild recession. Maybe I will be wrong, won't be the first or last time. -

Typical... Most people entrenched in their partisan views..... The reality is there is no silver bullet solution or for that matter, multipile solutions that will eliminate the risk of psychos offing innocent people.
