I may be wrong on this but I would be willing to bet a reasonable sum that a vast majority of those "investigated " did NOT have Tea party in their titles.  Can you point me toward something that will suggest otherwise?

Westend, do you believe the President and his administration have misled/lied regarding any of the scandals that have unfolded over the last couple of years or do you fully accept his contentions about each of them?  As a specific example, do you believe the IRS contention that suddenly, Ms. Lerners emails for a couple of years have been lost?

I understand and appreciate that.  I have to conduct myself in my work in a particular manner and have to be very cautious about making any potentially misleading or inflammatory remarks.  I too must be precise and accurate when it comes to calculating returns, volatility, etc and if I am not, somebody will likely hire one of your brethren to pursue me.  But this is just a message board.  I am thinking that it is sort of like a couple of guys sitting at a bar talking about all sorts of things.  I don't feel the need to maintain that precise business conduct when I am having a conversation that really doesn't have a serious impact on anyone.   I am guilty of the following assumptions/conclusions.  The current administration is very inept when it comes to economics.  The current administration  is frequently disingenuous.  The President , although very bright and well educated, is sorely lacking in leadership abilities.  The main priority of this President is to advance his social agenda regardless of the cost.

Thank you.  I thought you would be pleased with that small effort because you have made it very clear that we need to be more precise and less ambiguous on this message board.  I agree with you when you say that "when someone resorts to a spelling argument, you know you have them".  But I thought we both knew that you have had the upper hand for some time?  I don't mind that because I have this sense that my opinions, values, and communicative abilities have as much value as those of anyone else who spends time here.  Resultantly, I will just continue with my outmoded methods because, until now, nobody has voiced serious objection to them..

I too, do not know Westend and have never met him.  Hence we are quite similar in that respect.  I do have a pretty good idea where he stands politically and, considering your activity on this board, it would be hard for me to believe you are unaware of his political predilections even though that is the case you are trying to build.  I  just don't see the need for the word/semantic games as you are the only person here who has problems with me regarding ambiguity and parliamentary procedures.  I think I will just continue with my "less than enlightened" methods of communication as nobody else seems to be troubled by it.  One more tiny item.  While the bulk of my education is from the school of hard knocks and not from a prestigious university, I can still tell you that your use of the word THEIR ( as in "for their to be motivation") ought to be spelled t h e r e.

I guess my question was too ambiguous and I am not inclined to play the "it depends on what is is" game.  I simply asked you if you had any idea.  I believe an acceptable response would be either " no, I have no idea or yes, I have a thought on this".  The post in question was a response to a question you posed to me.  I gave you my reasoning and there is absolutely, unequivocally no" Assuming" in my response.  The last time I checked, I thought it was legal for me to ask questions of anyone, particularly on a message board where questions and answers are exchanged on a regular basis.  As you said earlier, if I am wrong about this, I am willing and eager to learn.

Didn't need the whole article posted.  But thought if you were going to present the results of a poll, all of the results rather than just some of them should be highlighted.  Don't you agree?

please read the thread below but nearby this one entitled:  IRS: Imagine that   Do any of you believe this?    Do you still believe President Obamas words of "not a smidgeon of evidence of corruption"?

If it was known to be a lie, the Dems would not have agreed to go to war.

Pamfam10-  Give me a few of the lies Bush told so I can compare them to Obamas

Don't worry.  Just as he was originally, the President ( who found out about this in the newspapers just like the rest of us) will be outraged and will have another investigation into the matter.  All is well.

And what was it that was done specifically by Mr. Obama that improved the condition of the country as compared to 2007?

  As stated earlier, until one knows something about the sample size of both the tea party and "americans in general",and how the questions were posed to those questioned, its pretty tough to draw any conclusions. I mentioned the part about moving toward socialism because it was conveniently omitted in the original post. Would you have any idea why it was omitted? (I am hopeful that my question is not so heavily burdened with ambiguity that you will be unable to respond)

  Are you referring to vast kool-aid consumption?

Well, you knew that before you went there. So what is the real reason you didnt join? Hmmm- just wondering if there is a "deeper meaning" here. ( you taught me that one)

I asked you to tell me why half of this country pays no taxes and those who do are asked to pay more. And your answer is " Are you on medicare"? Very strange

Only twice?

Pamfam- I think you are right about the KKK- Do you know of any race hate groups that are predominantly comprised of blacks?

    NO. Do you think it is a way to assure the Dems stay in power?

    It is multi- colored. Diversity prevails. Halleluja

Sure there are deficiencies in our education system. But please do not, under any circumstance, try to suggest/infer that our moral compass in this country is not in a serious decline. Congratulations to you on your support from Big Girl. She is the one who told me that the 17 trillion debt is a lie and that the U.S. Economy is good while the Texas economy is bad.

The Presidents ratings have dropped so low that the Kenyans are now accusing him of being born in the United States.

    Thanks- that simply means you dont believe any part of the poll

Did Reagan have tons of kids shipped from Mexico to Texas and then distributed to other parts of the country?

Tongue in cheek, Dove. Society no longer wants color mentioned in any way.
