Looks like this conversation has run out of steam and broken down into an argument about grammar and semantics.

EDITOR NOTE–Hence I have a new post since returning to town.

Robert, I think your comma should be a colon.

Steve, a clear case of our failed educational system.

Can’t put all the eggs in one party basket. You’ll find some goofy folks in both parties. It’s not all or nothing. The tea partiers aren’t necessarily the smartest bunch in the basket, but, given the chance of working together with others with differing ideas, rather than freaking out and insisting all people must agree with all their ideas, maybe something good could come. Neither side need cram their ideas 100% down the voters, and neither side do, except of course George Bush, and we can now see the bloody, costly efforts he and Cheney made off of a balanced budget. Pre-emptive wars never work, and look at us. We’re becoming post Europe.

Perhaps you should say, “It is surprising that someone with a Master’s from a prestigious and reputable institution would vote for more failed liberal policies, practices,and philosophies.”

Steve+Crea,

I said that the more educated you are the MORE LIKELY you are to vote for a progressive agenda (not republican). You’re obviously entrenched in your position, and it’s pointless to argue. I will point out that what really killed the timber industry is not policy, but waning demand for wood products in the age of cheaper plastics, composites, HD electronic screens, and recycling.

AJ:

Up your game, raise the bar, sharpen up your arguments, divorce yourself from most Dems, help to make Dems accountable for the innumerable problems Libs and Lib phosophies have caused.

Come back and run again after you have sharpened up!

I am educated, and educated quite well with a Master’s from Northwestern University’s JL Kellogg Graduate School of Management, with concentrations in finance, economics, and business policy.

I vote R, and I despise Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Franken, Debbie Wasserman, and their ilk.

Their rhetoric makes me retch!

I really hate it, don’t you? When someone suggests I move somewhere else if I don’t like the way elections turn out. My ancestors came over on the William and Stephen ship, fought in the Revolutionay war, those who followed fought in the Civil War, a grandfather fought in WW1, my father, in WW11, both parents, myself, my brother, and children born here in Boise, and yet we have no rights to be here and speak our piece. Native Idahoans have relatively few rights if they aren’t your rights. Now, don’t you find that a tad bit on the weird side? Send me somewhere else? Are you kidding me? Go back to the days after WW11 when people stood in the streets and shook hands, didn’t argue over party politics, and voted for the person. Now we are forced to vote for party politics, forced to fight with one another. Shame.
