Should D'Annunzio (if elected) push to attack Iran because it will increase the military budget and thus help the NC 8th district?
The United states need leaders in both houses of Congress not ward bosses. Just mho.

Push to attach Iran? Seriously? With what? The local VFW? Boy scout troop?
Do you not realize that he is running for a local office, not a national office?

Well, a few years ago the holder of that local office voted to use the United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine corps to attack Iraq.

Depending on how much you can handle in one session, that works out to be some pretty cheap tunnel time....

Yes, I was. His bio states that he is running for NC's 8th congressional seat, which I took to mean the state legislature. I found a story that states he is running for the US house. My mistake.

I am thinking that he is perfect for that constituency..... I doubt anyone with any other worldview would stand a snowflakes chance in hell of even getting more than a few dozen votes.

I keep expecting Tim D'Annunzio to show up in here and defend himself. *crosses fingers*

OK, I am here. I am a Christian Constitutional Conservative running as a Republican. That means I believe in the Constitution and all the principles contained in it and that all our problems have derived from departures from that. TK mentions that he Hung up on me; he did so based on him losing it after he wasn't able to counter my Constitutional arguments about conservative solutions to our National problem.

One example: When I say on my web site that my answer to the jobs problem is to lower taxed on business TK said I should change that to "lower taxes to increase corporate profits." During our phone conversation he said that profits were a bad thing and I disagreed and explained to him that all businesses either make a profit or close and that the only ones able to stay open without making profit are government subsidized, like GM. I know that the way to create jobs is to allow businesses to make a profit. The easiest quickest way is to reduce their tax burden and reduce regulation.

The government just spent 787 billion dollars on the premise of saving or creating 3 to 4 million jobs. The nation believed the lie, we spent the money and the result was we lost 3 to 4 million jobs. The liberal socialist solutions don't work, never have and never will. Only fools or those fooled would spend that much money to destroy that many jobs and then offer the same failed policy as the further solution.
Wake up!

As for why did I send cards to people outside my district; it is to gain support and money for the campaign and not to get votes. The national political people look more to the support and number of supporters you have as a way to judge your viability as a candidate. The wider the support area the better. I would much rather use my own money and not go through this. If you notice on the card I say just a few dollars will show your support to the national politicians. I would rather have wide support with just a few dollars from many people than to burden anyone with larger donations. Although many skydivers have been very generous and have donated large amounts. Those who know me know I keep my word and do the right thing.

To all the personal attacks from those who don't know me, twenty years ago I would have made sure I hunted you all down to personally interact with you. Thank God I am a Christian.

So basically you are yet another adherant of REAGAN-BUSH VOODOO Economics that has taken us from less than 800 billion dollars in debt when they began to cut taxes and reduced regulations and now to over 11 TRILLION in debt. More of the same has not been working as you guys advertise it.

Who gets to pay off this debt???

Reducing the amount of money coming in even further when you are in this financial situation is completely WHACKED.

I do remember when republicans actually stood for fiscal responsibility and I used to vote for them...and they have not shown any such thing in the last 30 years since I voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

I just re-read the thread and must say I am confused. Just who do you think personally attacked you other than TK? JohnnyD was called your character into question based on a false impression; something he has already apologised for, who else?

You say you voted for Reagan. He lowered the tax rate for the highest tax bracket by half and tax revenue to the federal government went up for that group and did it due to the increased activity the reduction created.
You are talking a static analysis when the dynamic effect will increase activity and create job. That is what we are talking about, creating jobs. The economy has decreased proportionate to the level of unemployment. The unemployed don't consume and we are a consumer based economy. As unemployment continues to rise there will be fewer and fewer consumers and the economy will continue to decline. The only solutions coming out of Washington are to increase spending and the effect is devastating the economy. They as you have an opinion but no knowledge of the facts, nor do you have any knowledge of the foundational principles of our nation. If you want to criticize me please first understand I speak because I do know.

As for the personal attacks, they are people who are assigning evil intent when they know nothing at all about me or about the foundations of this nation. They are sponges of the pop culture and bought into the false demonization they impose on any that refuse to be part their self serving lies. I am not afraid.

By the way, I am a Conservative running as a Republican.

And give me a break about me having thin skin. You girls can't get hurt feelings when someone dishes it out and it comes back as hard.

When you ASSume you fail. I criticize you and all LIKE you....with good reason born out of observation of the reality we are living in.

The FACTS are.. TRILLIONS in debt.. brought on by people just like you because you BELIEVE you know what the fuck you are talking about. ITs been proven by the economy taking the worst dump since the Great Depression that YOUR form of economics has not worked.
( Well except for those who profit from the military-industrial complex that a great republican president warned us about)

You remind me of the MAC commercial....Trust Me says the PC. I ain't buyin it... Republican Operating System Version 7

No - the economy is in the shitter because Congress can't quit writing checks even though the account is empty. Unfortunately, it's a lesson they can't seem to retain no matter how many times their noses get rubbed in it.

What branch of government approves and signs the budget again???






A BUDGET consists of revenues and expenses. In the case of the government, revenue is generated from TAXES. When your EXPENSES exceed your REVENUE... you need to RAISE taxes. At least in the real world.

I guess in Mikee world when you have more debt... you deserve a pay cut to help you generate more revenue????????

Seems like Clinton's economy didn't start taking off until he signed a balanced budget bill that Congress forced on him and decreased the capital gains tax.

I guess in Jeanne-world, government generates revenue. Here in the reality-based community, that's done by companies and individuals, both of which modify their spending when revenues/paychecks decrease.

Actually, it was pretty much a shouting match between me and you, not that I did not have an argument. You were not listening to me and I decided I did not want to listen to you either.

I resent that you claim I was 'wrong' as opposed to being 'wrong, in your opinion'. You are entitled to your opinion as am I.

Telling me to 'go find another country' does not support
-the first amendment
-democracy, or
-many of the other 'ideals' that you claim to uphold.

I spoke from first hand experience about health care and you poo-poo'd it like it did not matter. You were LOUD and you frequently spoke over me.

I would expect someone in Congress to actually listen to their 'prospective supporters and possible constituents', but that is your choice.

At no time in my post did I say anything about you not having your right to have an opinion, I did not even talk about your opinion, on ANY matter.

And we actually agreed on a couple things, but frankly I think your view of the world is pretty much what I would expect from a right-wing conservative Christian. And therefore, i will NOT support you or your bid for Congress, even if you are a 'skydiver advocate'

I even gave you a (+1) for calling me after I emailed you. My feeling is that once (if) you are elected, you will simply do whatever the hell it is that you feel is right and not anything that you think your voters wanted of you - which is also something that (sadly) we seem to get from most politicians anyway.

Despite the fact that you couch this statement ostensibly in the context of the past, I don't think it's unreasonable for readers to interpret it as a veiled threat of physical harm - operative in the present. Having nothing to do with your politics (seriously), I find that alarming and offensive in a candidate for the United States Congress.
