Alaska Darin Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 -- Warning: this post requires objectivity and critical thinking skills. It is also long. Therefore, it requires a relatively decent attention span. All political party drones and ADD kids should move on now We are the leaders, not you. We are the guys/girls who create cool stuff from scratch. We did not inherit our daddy's business/influence/money and thereby create things that benefit the club(I was in a wealthy fraternity - because my parents busted their asses - so I know the deal) and not everyone. We also don't then promptly turn around and thank God(should say Daddy) for our "blessings". For myself, I thank God for what I should: the talent, drive and balls to make it happen in the face of withering adversity - and the sense of duty that requires me to use those gifts. We are not the ones who stand straws on edge, knock them over, and because we can do that year in and year out call ourselves "business leaders". As always, there are a few exceptions but not many in the Republican party. 731868[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 732612[/snapback] Indeed, that was a bit ironic coming from a Philadelphia-lover. He obviously missed John Street's little tirade on gun control the other night. News flach OC: Philadelphia is the worst-managed major city in the country and now it's the murder capital of the country. All this in a Democrat's paradise.

News flach OC: Philadelphia is the worst-managed major city in the country and now it's the murder capital of the country. All this in a Democrat's paradise. 732629[/snapback] Believe me that is no news flash to us. Rather than be upset about it, it's kinda treated here like a running joke. It's even worse that you say JoeSix, but not the way you think: Every single one of Street's deputy - even the treasurer - has either been indicted, covicted and in the treasurers case - serving jail time. But consider this for a sec - the reason for all the corruption is becauase there is a hell of a lot of money to be made! If Buffalo pols were doing the right thing, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up one day and heare about their hand caught in the cookie jar. There has to be cookies first before you can get caught stealing them! This is because Ed Rendell(Governer), not Street, when he was mayor, attracted tons of corporate investors. Ex: Our office has a ten year tax abatement meaning we pay 10% of what we would normally. (That's always been around but Rendell expanded it hugely) I am just as amazed - yes, I said Democrats cutting taxes. Regarding Street, the corruption issue has gotten so bad now that even my left-of-lenin-friends(who I love to torture with Libertarian/Republican truths ) are pissed. They say, and they are right, that all it does is make their dopey ideas look bad. (Like they would actually work without the corruption - please!) But, the flip side is that Centery City is booming. These guys know how to work with business/education effectively. But it seems clear that they are simply following Rendell's game plan. Again, I don't see why the politcos in WNY can't simply use the same gameplan, and not one poster has given a good reason yet. The murders you are talking about happen in north and parts of south Philly, not Center City. The way they have things set up here: water on two sides(one to separate from Jersey - thank God, and the other to separate from West Philly) and a train line and highway to separate from North Philly. Nobody minds South Philly much, except for a few 3x3 block areas. Talking about those other areas is kinda like talking about another country. I know that might sound foppish but it seems to be the prevailing attitude. Yeah, ironic is exactly what I would call it. Democrats that work well with business and seriously cut taxes, but have corruption scandals on par with the Republican S&L stuff. Go figure? I can't right now I have meeting. I hope I used enough emoticons and sarcasm this time to suit Bluefire's taste. Oh, yeah and clarifying is not backtracking - that one was just dopey.

Anyway, I still don't see why a company would want to move to WNY. As you have stated, there are many cities doing that same thing, (including where I live: Austin), whats to set Buffalo apart from all of these other cities? Why would I put my business there when I could move to so many other places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Philly. It was a hole when I was younger (MOVE et al) and it's still a hole now. Yes, North, South, and West Philadelphia are ALL bad. You forgot West Philly. That is more like Beirut.

You partisan shills are all so full of schit. I'm sure the working class who're paying their full property taxes...Never mind, hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy - someone else asked me how it was possible that I could know politics before I was born. In my case - it's more than possible. I can't tell you the number of times I have flown from (insert town here) and handed out dopey cards for my family during elections when we knew damn well that it was a winning landslide. It's what we do - but not because of party loyalty. However, I refer you to my signature - you are the dopey, partisan schill. You can't even see a friend to your cause when he smacks you in the face! You represent yourself as a Republican. If that is true why don't you read first, judge second? That is the job according to what the pols from your side say. Rush says: we is about optimism, reason, and truth. (Bluefire - this is what's know as a euphemism - had to make sure my emoticon/sarcasm quota was met ) How in the hell are you one of them? Sorry, maybe they don't have Rush on ham radios in Alaska? Maybe you can catch the show the next time you are in somebody else's plane? Yeah, I know Alaska dipshit - Worked fot the Navy up there - your novelty is about to wear off. I thought lock-step thinking was the domain of the socialists, whoops, I mean Democrats. Please, you are not doing your party(I am a Libertarian) any favors by posting nonsense - let the silly libs dig their own hole. Don't hurt those of us who actually have a reasoned argument, and/or can think for ourselves, by demanding Hannitization when you can't even consider context; never mind begin to attempt to convince anyone of what you are saying. This game, prolly not for you. I dunno though, cause hey, none of us really knows until after the primary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
