    About That GNP thingie ....

    I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the Doug guy either. That is how those conspiracies get started. Lot of writing with no facts. Then again, Romney has Fox so it depends on what you are looking at. As for the "cashgrab" thinking, my thoughts are once Paul said he wasn't likley to be the nominee...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    No sign of a brokered convention at this point. Even Paul himself says as of yesterday that it is very remote. I think he will get some delegates and a decent speaking spot but that is about it. Still think he could cause some trouble, but nothing is gained with that. Maybe he or Rand will get...

    OWS ORGANIZER and HIS THOUGHTS o HOW IT SHOULD BE...

    Doesn't matter if you like Hannity or not, this OWS guest is prime example of the mindset of many. Just like he said, they want everything free, and are totally clueless as to where the money is coming from. And this guy is 29 years old. It is really pathetic. I did get a good laugh out of the...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    If it is by design to put Obama back in for another four, than I would say yes as painful as it is. After a speech in Tampa, people will forget all about Paul after a few days while in the meantime we are stuck with Obama for another term. Have to go with common sense on this one.

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    If XPO took over and came out with new contracts with what they pay now, there will be a mass grab from other carriers wanting their Panther trucks. I would feel comfortable that within 90 days, Panther will lose better than half its fleet under those circumstances.

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    That would be the problem. That would be a rate cut for most trucks. Not sure on vans but for straights it would amount to a .06 to .15 cent per mile cut. Actually more than that because they have that structured fuel surcharge where they keep part of it. The other change I believe would be in...

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    Probably true although I wouldn't be a fan of a XPO purchase because they are heavy rate cutters and their current drivers run for quite a bit less. That likely would equal a reduction in pay for current Panther contractors. Hard to tell how a XPO purchase would have any value to the actual...

    Pay Your Far Share So Julia Can Live OFF the Government...

    Many are just wanting the quick fix of wanting everything paid for by someone else. As we keep borrowing, printing money and giving handouts, the very poor will be the first to get hurt. Reality might set in when they start paying four dollars for a loaf of bread and there isn't any banks or...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    Might be entertaining but with a very remote chance of winning anything it does more damage than it gains. More of a cash grab and filling ones ego than anything. I think he will gain some more delagates but to what end? All any of it does is help Obama. By his own admission, Paul said Romney...

    Panther Sale getting closer....

    ABF might like that aquisition but I don't see their union liking it. Might be a tough sale. Unions are going to fight any merger with a non-union outfit.

    About That GNP thingie ....

    I don't know? He is basically losing now. He does want the money though or he wouldn't stay in so maybe that is the real driving force behind it and possibly to get a good time slot at the convention. More than likely his last stand in politics. I don't think anyone would consider him a sore...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    I still think you are on conspiracy theories. Or.....Paul has no interest in winning and keeps quiet. Or if he did want to win, then he would be the first to go public and say something. As long as he doesn't say anything, there isn't much credibility from third party sources.

    Pay Your Far Share So Julia Can Live OFF the Government...

    I hope at least some of the funding gets cut back. But I think you are right, total elimination isn't likely. If Obama wins, we still have to pick up the car payments. Already coming out with more free housing.

    What forums do YOU read?

    Forums only if using the phone and pretty much everything if on a lap or desk top. Usually start with the new posts.

    Pay Your Far Share So Julia Can Live OFF the Government...

    Everything is a "give me". Only problem is, what happens when you run out of money? That is his voting bloc and that is why it will be a close election. Half the population has their hand out for something and the other half is paying.

    XPO Logistics ?

    Sad state of affairs. I believe I would fail on the Mickey D's burger line.

    About That GNP thingie ....

    Can't rule out a isolated incident, but most is conspiracy theories. If there was anything to it, the MSM and the dems would be all over it. Just no real proof. Just made up stuff when Paul performs badly.

    Criminal aliens stealing through IRS

    The democrats want the illegals to vote so they aren't about to take their freebies away.

    About That GNP thingie ....

    That is the problem. Some ideas might work but in a general election, it is much different. Have to appeal to the independants if you are going to stand any chance of winning and that takes any percieved ideas off the table that the majority would consider radical. Look at Paul's votes so far...

    About That GNP thingie ....

    I agree. If I was Romney, I wouldn't acknowlege anything either. No real reason to at this point. But like all things in politics, just follow the money.
