Yes you are almost right. Carter had no real friends in Congress, being an outsider and on top of that fighting with Tip o'Neal on things he was vetoing. In the 1980 election, his party almost dumped him, almost.... it was teddy Kennedy who fought against him during the election - he would have...

Because the way around it is to lower the rates to the shippers, remember there are no laws that regulate rates. It was discussed on one of them XM trucker shows the other day. The thing is it would be easier to fix the problems for all of us, not just a few.

You know turtle, I don't mean to belittle people which I do without knowing it but here is one thing that really gets me; many tend to forget that Christianity is a form of.... Judaism. Am I wrong?

First thing is call the OOIDA legal department. They can tell you specifcally what the laws say. Second, falsifying a document is a crime, you get one guy who figured out that what is on the BOL is not what is on your truck, depending on what it is, you can be in a lot of trouble - example is...

My God, we all know that. We know what McCain has done. We know what he stands for but do you know what Obama stands for? I got a bigger more important question for you, if you are listening. How do you feel about electing someone who is a racist?

I think that there a bit more to it than this. If you look at the original text in the original language Hebrew, then it reads thou shall not murder but the problem is some of the translations come from the Latin version of the ten commandments, hence the Catholic version says thou shall not...

I forgot about that, so true .... so true.....

Dude, you don't have to post whole articles, the link it good enough. I read Hamilton, I read Jefferson, I read Jackson, I know had to know the federalist papers inside and out. I know that Jefferson's reasoning behind the small government ideals and know about Hamilton's reasoning behind...

Ratwell, What can I say. You seem to misunderstand the motives of some who espouse peace. You are reminding me of a conversation I had with a friend a while back. She came from South Africa and she grew up under Apartheid. She didn’t like it, her family was restricted and her father, a doctor...

OMG what is this? After all of that, I came to this conclusion; Hillary is a liar and her background is flawed. Obama has done less than nothing. In the great world of politics voting on bills means nothing, sponsoring legislation and getting things passed does. If you...

Ratwell, thanks for pointing that book out to me, I may have it - I don't remember. I would actually recommend a few other things for you to read, ready? 'A Monetary history of the United States' and 'capitalism' and freedom by Friedman An Austrian perspective on the history of...

But who is? Obama? Hillary? They don't seem to be on target either.

NO I don’t like McCain but I also know that a socialist is not the right person for the country. We are at a cross roads, the two major parties are disintegrating as I type and there is no leadership in the country between the two. Put the two in a bag, shake them up and dump them out and you...

I have seen a lot of messed up kids growing up. My parents were frank about why some of our friends were messed up and on drugs or drinking - most of the parents entrusted in the schools and teachers to tell them how to be parents and they told the parents they needed to be the kids friend first...

But here is the thing, these are different times. Bush followed Clinton's policies which was the official government policies, force a change of government in Iraq. He did not change anything (focusing on Iraq here), he did not go to the UN and say "we are going to invade Iraq and that's it"...

No one from a SKYWARN group here?

Agreed, I think the media will play this up, just like they did for the truck driver who died last month while driving on the wrong side of the freeway.

Macmov, I can’t agree with the lies part, simply because the war is the fault of the UN, the EU and congress before Bush. All of them had a hand in it; Bush is an easy person to blame. You have to look at the UN and what was uncovered there. I seen them in action, I know they are not the...

58 years on this earth and nothing to do but to pick on me? What are you? The type of person who will print off everything I say and read through it to find things wrong? Oh there he said this on July 15, 2005 and said something else on February 25, 2007, got him now. Talk about...

Ratwell, My head hurts from Ron Paul... I recommend that you do something, read two books - one is mentioned The Road to Serfdom and the other is the forgotten man by Stiles. Read them with an open mind and without thinking about today but put try to think about the times they were about...
