OT..A lot to do

The election is over and the Democrats lost.. Big Time..

This election was probably the most critical election of our lifetime.. We
lost it.. That is OUR fault .. As Democrats.. we allowed the leadership of
our party to drift and not pursue the message that would have surely won
this election ..We conceded that Texas is Bush Country, bought and paid for
by a NeoCon government ..Wrong.. I haven't received my "check" and neither
has anyone else who works for a living in Texas..

Be that as it may.. the task ahead is before us and we must get over this
election.. Every Texan is paying the costs of supporting our government..
Record costs for insurance.. electricity, natural gas.. Our prices at the
gas pump have reached record highs and our tax dollars are being used to
pacify the special interests which could care less about our own quality of
life..

We have to find the party leadership in this state, who will fight for all
our people, not just the members of the party.. We have to make sure that
these are the ones who will lead this party.. Our leadership is what is
broken.. Not the grassroots.. Our leadership failed us all, republicans and
democrats, alike.. They didn't capitalize on the issues that has been the
earmarks of all the failures of the NeoCons in power.. We chose the wrong
leadership for the democratic party in our state, and they've not won an
election since they've led this party.. In this regard.. I agree with the
independent and alternative candidate voters ..The leadership of the
Democratic Party must be replaced..

In January .. our legislature will go back to Austin for their session of
deciding our future in Texas... That is where our fellow Texans must
focus... The legislation that will be considered during this upcoming
session, will surely be the deciding factor of how we will weather the next
four years ..Special interests will fill our capitol with their lobbyists
and henchmen with fat checks.. They'll also be collecting the paybacks for
the support and investment they've made .. to furthur ensure that the
taxpayers will bear the burden of their greed.. Unless we are informed and
aware of each piece of legislation, the taxpayers will be left with an empty
bag of promises..

Those representatives of our government must be made aware that voters are
their constituents .. Not the special interests and the Washington NeoCons..
These are not true republicans, they are NeoCons.. there is a vast
difference..

Anyone who believes that his liberties and freedoms are not at risk, hasn't
really thought this administrations' agenda, through.. Forget this
election.. it is finished and we lost it.. The democratic party leaders lost
it for us.. They didn't do the jobs we selected them to do..It is time to
change the directions of this leadership and replace them..

The platforms of the democratic party has always been, to level the playing
field and afford each working man or woman, an opportunity to work for his
security and future of his family.. Republicans and Democrats alike are
concerned with those values.. Unless we are willing to fight for those
values, they will become values of memory and reflection.. They are being
taken away from us by a corporatist and NeoCon government that is only
interested in power and weath for the select few..

There's a lot of work ahead of the democratic party.. Dedicating energy and
frustrations on this election is an exercise in futility.. Now is the time
for all of us to roll up our sleeves and commence the REAL work ahead...
dealing with the government that has been handed to us, during this
election.. The quality of life we cherish and hold dear, concerns all of us,
regardless of any party affiliation.. That has to be our focus for the next
four years... Let's all get busy, preparing for this upcoming legislative
session..

Are you always looking for a check from someone for doing nothing??

I have noticed that the name of this news group is tx.motorcycles, not the
tx.yellow-dog-democrat-party-headquarters.

Wasn't your fellow Demo Joan Claybrook, Jimmy Carter's former Sec of DOT,
the motorcyclist's worst nightmare and enemy???

**** off Harvey... The header for this thread is clearly marked "OT".. It's
also got my name on it.. Don't like it .. don't read it.. OK ?

How would you know. ?? Go feed your freakin' goats..

 

Bill's having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the vast
majority of voting Texans don't agree with his political views. Couple
that with being unable to ride for a while and he's crankier than usual.

 

If that is what you understood from my post, then Albert Nurick, you have
confirmed once and for all, that you are undoubtedly the stupidest son of a
bitch on this newsgroup... Which is absolutely no surprise to me..

 

Wow, let's analyze this theory:

Many of the farmers and ranchers out there who vote republican sit
back and wait for their checks from the government when they aren't
able to make the payments on their property, equipment, parts and so
on. On top of that, most of the people voting republican don't have
health insurance and their kids and wifes are on medicaid. The men are
more than likely on medicare. A large portion of the republican voters
use capital gains taxes to live in homes for free and have other homes
where people live in them and pay rent...while the person who owns the
property collects the capital gains tax.

Poor 'ole democrats are supposed to be too stupid to do anything like
this. They just go get real jobs making their own money, pay their
insurance costs for health insurance and buy homes the old fashioned
way...by getting a mortgage and paying on a fixed term.

Tell us Albert, do you have your own health insurance plan which you
pay on (and don't consider paying taxes which might go into
medicaid/medicare as being an insurance plan)? Do you only work with
that company of yours to be successful and thereby standing on your
own feet?

I somehow doubt you make enough off a couple "out of the box" webpage
designs and some hosting to pay for that new bike and your cost of
living too. Where else do you work? Do you pay for health insurance
through that company?

Let's see who gets "checks from the government" and who doesn't.

 

This dude that posts under "Dixon's Ranch" is truly an idiot.. He's got his
grubby hand out and reaching for every government farm subsidy that he can
find.. All the while crowing about his "independence".. and/or "patriotism".

Bet'cha.. his life is mortgaged to the hilt to the government agencies that
finance wimps like him.. This dude is the epitome of hypocrits, when he
posts the trash that he wants to subscribe to.. I wish him all the benefits
that he has voted for..

 

Oh, no doubt. They jump up and learn in high school that all they need
to do is buy some cheap land, put a $50 fence around it, buy a $10
calf from a dairy farm...and they're a "rancher" or "farmer" who can
grab quite a bit of government financing (which either is no "payback"
or extremely low rates). Then they vote republican because they see it
as democrats might one day take that "financial independence" away
from them. It's about as silly as the democrats might go on a "gun
grab" one day.

Just look at a map of who voted what and you'll see it loud and clear.

The problem with the democratic party that we have these days is what
I've been screaming about for several years now...they appeal to one
group while pandering to the others for votes. They need to stop that
before '06! Let these people have a good dose of republican measures.
Take away their medicaid/medicare, take away their capital gains
taxes, take away their farm/ranch "aid" ("independence") and see how
long it takes for these people to start screaming. Just letting the
republicans take away those three items, that would be enough to win
any election for any democrat in the country. Charles Rangle would
even stand a good chance of winning presidency!

One note, if the republicans want a "flat tax" and do away with the
IRS, it should only be on the stipulation that they also close any
doors for allowing a capital gains. If the republicans want to
privatize Social Security, it should be only on the stipulation they
also privatize medicare and do away with medicaid.

AND, they should get rid of FEMA altogether. I've never seen such a
place to give money out to a bunch of uninsured/high risk idiots! The
people don't carry insurance, and then they rebuild in the same high
risk spots as before. GO GET SOME FREAKIN' INSURANCE LIKE THE REST OF
US RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE DO!!!

I for one am sick of supporting these republican voting f*ckers. If
they want to have someone stand on their own feet and make it on their
own, they should start with themselves. Far too long have these
republican assholes used that "welfare" crap as a "race card". Then
when looking at it, most of them are on welfare themselves! They're
grown! Get a job and get their own insurance like the rest of us have
to do.

 

What a deal! Someone's figured out the republican system!!!

You bunch of welfare recipients!!! GET A JOB!!! GET INSURANCE!!!

Let's try this system:
You want medical care? No job, no insurance, no care.
You want payments for no crops? No job, no insurance, no payments.
You want "incintives" for home ownership? No. No tax incintives.

Yup, that works for me!!!

Us democrats have been going about this all wrong. We've been trying
to get you republican assholes medical care, relief for product loss
and incintives to home ownership for the American Dream. We need to
stop that!

I might actually have to vote republican in '06...I like the idea of
laying on my ass for once and sucking off the government to get by.
Nah! I'd vote for Mark Johnson before I'd vote republican! I'd even
vote for Mark Johnson before I'd vote for Badnarik.

 

LOL.. I only post on two newsgroups on usenet.. Sometimes I get caught up in
response to cross posts from other groups.. What little that I've discovered
in searches of Nurick is that he is well known on several groups that don't
seem to think that he's "okay" as you put it...

That being said, some of the demonstrations on tx.motorcycles from Nurick
has caused my opinion of him to be entirely different than your concept of
him.. I am knowledgeable enough to realize that an image on usenet is not
necessarily accurate..

With few exceptions I've found that after as long a time as my experience
with Nurick goes back, I'm convinced that my opinion of him is real close to
the man, himself.. Our dislike for each other is mutual.. If I were
soliciting for support, I'd not choose Albert Nurick under any
circumstance.. I don't solicit support .. Thanks for your input.. but, I
disagree that Albert Nurick is okay.. I believe Albert Nurick represents
nothing more than an insignificant little juvenile, with a desire for
recognition complex..
