Hmmm...seems she must relinquish her office then...alls fair in politics and taxes.

Oh wait, thats only if Republicans are pointing the finger.

:haha:

Great pic Ali!
Aliantha • Feb 19, 2009 6:22 pm
He's a photogenic lad that one. Hard to take a bad shot really. ;)
Shawnee123 • Feb 19, 2009 6:25 pm
He is a handsome young man. :)
Aliantha • Feb 19, 2009 6:26 pm
Thanks Shawnee. I'll let him know that a lecherous old woman has been salivating over him. lol
Shawnee123 • Feb 19, 2009 6:28 pm
heeheee...naw...I just know a good lookin' kid when I see one. His dark complexion reminds me of my younger brother. I don't know if Maverick is always that dark, but two seconds in the sun and my brother is, so is his oldest daughter.

I'm no lech. ;)
Aliantha • Feb 19, 2009 6:29 pm
He's half Samoan. He gets pretty dark in the sun. That was at the begining of summer. He's probably a shade or two browner now although he does tend to cover up with hats and shirts and stuff pretty well.
Shawnee123 • Feb 19, 2009 6:31 pm
Yeah, I remember you saying he's half samoan. He's a cutie. You CAN tell him that. :)
Aliantha • Feb 19, 2009 6:32 pm
lol...no worries mate. I'll do that when he comes home. I'm sure it'll make him blush. He's the shy one.

I'm all for getting some of that money since the Dems are giving it out. Hell pelosi is on a plane that is spending more in fuel than most people make in a year.
Shawnee123 • Feb 20, 2009 3:15 pm
I haz reform magik:
TheMercenary • Feb 20, 2009 3:17 pm
Yea, but do you have reform monies yet? :lol2:

I remember back during the election there was talk of her owing for all the travel expenses of her husband and kids as well. It was a lot more than $17,000. I wonder why that wasn't mentioned...

Maybe it wasn't true.

Imagine yourself responding that way to a Democrat's tax problem.

Why does it matter if they are a Demoncrat? Or a Republickin? Or another tax cheat nominated by Obama? Oh the duplicity.
Griff • Feb 22, 2009 10:28 am
It doesn't matter to me.
TheMercenary • Feb 22, 2009 10:30 am
I could care less what party you choose to affiliate with? If you owe you need to pay.
Griff • Feb 22, 2009 10:34 am
It matters to you because you are a partisan.
TheMercenary • Feb 22, 2009 10:35 am
Partisan what?

It matters to me because of the double standard displayed.
Griff • Feb 22, 2009 10:41 am
You're an anti-Democrat. The only thing you are consistant about is railing against Democrats.

They have been the party in charge for more than two years now. They do get the blame.
Griff • Feb 22, 2009 11:00 am
You're so cute when you dissemble.
TheMercenary • Feb 22, 2009 11:35 am
Dissemble? :lol2:

Well at least I am not defending the double standards you all so bitched and moaned about. :D
toranokaze • Feb 22, 2009 12:26 pm
I have always thought of her more as a kerr than a maverick.

You keep saying that. But they barely had a majority before. Especially in the Senate. Having a majority of a couple means nothing in there. And a lot of the stuff they tried to get through was vetoed by bush. So how do they get the blame exactly?
DanaC • Feb 27, 2009 8:27 am
Well, clearly, Bush was so ineffective, that his presidency had no impact on America. Given that everything that occured during his presidency was apparently the Democrats fault.

Just the first 6 years. I don't blame Congress' sucess or failures on the president. Both Bush and Obama get to share the prize for "Rubberstamper President".

1. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005

HR 2419
11. Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
HR 6124
12. Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers Act of 2008


Wasn't that some kind of record?
sugarpop • Feb 28, 2009 11:38 pm
Before the democrats won 2 years ago, for bush's first 6 years, he didn't veto a fucking thing. THEN he started vetoing stuff.
TheMercenary • Mar 1, 2009 3:31 pm
Someone got the blues over this one.
