Don't forget the Osprey.

More name calling and ridicule. Again, everybody: this is why the politics forum gets ugly. Want it to stop? Tell LO to stop. Nip it in the bud.

Didn't you call him a hammer in the post just before that?:rolleyes:

Not from what I've seen in this thread. Lookout seems pretty reasonable to me. You seem to be the one on the attack.

So you're ok with his demeaning, snide, provocative comments?

This got skipped over, but I think this is a great idea. All the BS deductions they miss… right into the coffers of the Gov’t.

Change the payroll tax - in essence that’s has the same effect as a deduction, of sorts. And interest income… tax it the same as regular wages. IIRC that would have one of the largest effects on increasing revenue.

OH, and thanks Pete. Bout time someone pointed the finger in the right direction.

A lot of people get snide and provocative, not just LO. It is sort of the nature of these kinds of discussions. And he has not gone overboard with it, either. I think he maybe made one comment that was somewhat that way. I don't really see demeaning. If anything, it has been refreshing to see the issues actually discussed in here, rather than a lot of childish name-calling. I am just not seeing that with this discussion.

FTFY

Really, Classic?

Lookout may have been a bastard in some other thread. I dunno. I don't read all of the Cellar. But I've re-read each Lookout post since #183 (where he first chimes in this thread). And I see no evidence of bad behavior on Lookout's part. Rather it looks to me like you are trying to start a vendetta against Lookout.

I'll give you an example. In post #183 Lookout includes defense as one of the departments that needs to be cut. In post #185 he specifically says that military R&D should be cut.

Then in #189 you say "There's a whole lot of waste in the military, but, because of your ideology, you don't want to cut there." Clearly you did not read or did not understand his posts.

Lookout calls you on it in post #191. Which you complain about in post #192.

Really? Seriously? All the UG, tw, and Merc posts on this board you've got to work with and this is what you want to complain about for meanness?

Another finger-pointing thread for the peanut gallery to pop up in, saying "SEEEE? SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?"

ffs

Only by Spexx. I've actually been enjoying this thread. Some conservative ideas espoused without the usual conservative vitriol.

Really. Absolutely. You've been stalking him for months, if not longer... Let it go.

Pete, back in the day Lookout use to tag team with Merc in the nastiness department of the politics threads. This is probably what is fueling Spex's 'vendetta'.

I have to say, though, he has seriously cleaned up his act this go 'round.
