Since it's a "what if", I'll play. - Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments. Make the Senate electable by the state legislatures ONLY. Institute a fair tax. - Put us back on the gold standard, constitutionally. Take away the Federal Reserve's power over the government. - Make debt allowed up to...

I like Herman Cain as a candidate. However, he says nothing about the Fed, other than it doesn't need to be audited. Reality says he's a Fed junky. Reality also says everyone running, with the exception of Ron Paul, will be a Fed junky, if they aren't already. So what's to lose by voting for...

I wouldn't call trucking the "simple" life, by any means. But if you mean "simpler" than running my own company, which I did, then I'll take the simpler life. These days more than ever, it seems, it's putting dollars after cents. While running for C&M, I ran into an independent who was on C&M's...

Taking the truck back to the owner tomorrow. Thus ends the chapter of C&M in my career. Spent the better part of 6 years with them, so they had to be doing something right. Found a neat little Topkick I'm planning on buying. I'm chomping at the bit to make some money! I don't think I'll be...

Been there, done that authority thang. No thanx! I'll be the first to admit I'm not organized enough; not to mention all the gubmint buttkissing one has to do with paperwork. Some peeps were just meant to let others do the dirty work, and I'm one of em. As far as the truck goes, I'd rather own...

I don't do that often. I'm too lazy. :D

No. The fact that there are only two parties means you sometimes have to sleep with the enemy. Perfect reason there needs to be another, maybe two more parties. Here's what I think. The Republican party used to be the party of the Constitution. They were very conservative. Then Republicans...

He's right. There is a huge bias against third parties. And yeah, it takes a lot of money to run... especially for a third party. Third parties do not get the donations from big business. But that doesn't mean I won't support one. I refuse to waste my vote by voting for the lesser of two evils...

Wanted: Politician Experience not necessary. Common sense not needed. Ability to baffle with bs a plus.

You have to ask yourself... If I were to be a part of an uprising against the government, would the Constitution protect me? I think not. And that is a dangerous thing.

It's funny John Liebowitz didn't mention the gun control measures Obama wanted passed, but Congress shot him down. I mentioned that stuff in your other "NRA conspiracy" thread; but you never answered the charges. Come on, Witness... you're slipping, bro.

That's the whole thing, Pilgrim. If I'm worried about who the Joneses are voting for, then I'm a Jones myself. Reminds me of Boz Scaggs - "Got to have a Jones for this, Jones for that. This runnin with the Joneses, boy, it just ain't where it's at." Runnin with the Lemmings ain't where it's...

Hell... if that's the case, Eisenhower didn't have enough experience. Neither did Kennedy, LBJ, or Ford. Executive experience isn't the only thing that qualifies for experience, ya know. Being on committees does, to a point. So does actually showing up to vote - unlike Obama. Being a mediocre...

Never been to the rail car plant; but I've delivered to the Perez <sp> warehouse next to Navistar many times.

I agree it's huge. I'm just asking Greg that since it's "old news" to him, does he think it's not worth reporting?

You just proved voting for a third party can make a difference; and you also say that the two parties rule. So which is it? It's not an "I'll show them!" vote... at least for me it isn't. If and when I vote third party, it's a "That guy/party is right along with my way of thinking." Just...

So, in your opinion, this is a non-story?

I read somewhere Australia is having a false boom, just like we did in the mid-2000s. Apparently, Greenspan is now an Aussie... OI OI OI!

And I'd like to see a black person make a good president. Not there yet either.

No, not everyone does. But people don't usually put liberty at the top of their government wish list. They like their SSI, and their medicare, and their Obamacare; and think they can have their cake and eat it to when it comes to the Constitution. It doesn't work that way. If the government...
