Darn where did you get the made up political talking points from LMAO, but I guess that is your point, you can say anything about anybody politically regardless of the truth. PS It was worse during the 30s muck raking era. Agreed.

By the way it is interesting that during Republican admin stocks go down and under dems they go up. Historically true.

I heard that rumor last nite from a wings fan and agree would be willing to trade most of our current D minus Risto for him.

Luv it that is hysterical.

Disagree if Sabres are building a champion, they need to hit on one this year and develop at least two into future.

But for different reasons. Bush mangled the economy and started a war. Obama didnt know how to deal with Congress and governed largely by fiat not engaging with them because he couldnt deal with the constant political vitiol. Reagan and Clinton imo are the only ones that had a handle on how to manipulate washington while maintaining a tin ear to the chattering classes.

I would add, unelected gain even increasing power from sheer knowledge of law, how to make things happen and relationships in DC that effect how and legislative changes are made. Still 3-4 terms for senators and 5-6 terms for Representatives sound like a decent compromise imo.

Interesting Analysis but I would expect similar results for forwards, the key is finding late bloomers like Nelson either thru draft and develop or thru college euro ufas.

Yeh it is. I have some pics somewhere of 20 ft waves hitting the breakwall in Moro Bay, here are some pics from Cal coast including Oceanside Harbor and an Otter in Moro Bay as well as a seal near Hearst Castle. I am sure I have more. PS That is a surfer getting closed out in that weirdly lighted wave as fog lifted. https://fischerwilliamsphoto.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Southern-California-Beach/

The year I came over from TBD, formerly yellowlinesandarmadillos.

Agreed my eyes are further damaged each time I click on a thread PI participates in, kinda like radiation effect... is there a lifetime body allowance that gives you a warning to prevent further damage.

Not sure why I just noticed this, but the Sabres have 4 third round draft pics odd

Fair enough, get involved, dont lose your passion. Learn how to make things happen that are good for all of us.

I am not questioning your commitment to the US but participating in parties. The big two imo are not inclusive at their own peril of another party forming and invigorating those not involved. Its definetly balancing act. My only point is to encourage you to get involved and do the work to influence the party in a direction you feel strongly about. Your arrogance and myopic misunderstanding of the poltical process is that you think you are the only independent voice and only you are right and your solutionis the only way. Politics is about bringing people together towards a common ideal. That takes work, compromise and ego checking. Sure its frustrating dealing with many different players within both the system and within each party. Within the Democratic party there are lots of different dedicated folks working toward common goals and to denigrate them because you are a johnny come lately that hasnt done the foot work to get your message incoporated is insulting and therefore arrogant.

The more I thought about the right of association the more I realized you dont have a clue what this right as entails. Let me ask you would a church of x denomination not make you pledge to a creed, dont the boy scouts require a certain code, heck even xray tech, medical professionals have creeds and ethics to abide by... So what pissed me off by your thinking that you have a right to come in and participate in any political party without such a commitment is pure arrogance imo, especially when so many dedicated people have volunteered countless hours shaping the party. So my choice of words may have been off, really how arrogant of you to think it you should just be able to influence a party without some sort of committment. I personnally dont like open primaries or think that non party members votes should be discounted or be less important than party loyal party members.

No get rich quick schemes have been around a long time you are correct its just the speed and amount of info able to be processed.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I door knocked for LaFalce, Western NY Peace Organization, NYPirg, was a college Dem, Pres of the Young Dems of Alexandria, State Presidential delegate, worked on I dont know how many campaigns, worked for 4 diff Members of Congress, a US President, and the Senate Democratic Leadership. I got involved and made a difference locally as well as nationally. Great these guys are enthusiastic but it takes work and bringing people together over time. Was everything perfect no but I had a voice and seat at the table and my influence was felt. Just because things got a little tough i hope they dont quit. Keep at it. That is the American way perserverance!

Fair enough and its goals are ? Inclusiveness so should there be a standard of political goals for participation and how do you go about deciding those goals and dealing with those upset that their ideals are not agreed with by the majority within the party. Yeh "independent" of what? There is an oxymoron...

Again sorry, still i couldnt disagree more, start a new party make the Bernie faction stronger, do the work. 40% consider themselves inependent but are too lazy to start another party effective at competing for the hearts and mind of the american public. There is nothing in the constitution stopping you except hard work consistent leadership over a longer period of time. Cult of personalities are short lived. . I dont disagree with your goals only how you get there. Again and healthcare actually does need a constitutional amendment to the interstate commerce clause... but I digress.

Sorry just pokin the bear..., that being not as you see fit but as the party rules see fit to include you again at their own peril either way. But freedom of association or non association may or may not include you or me.

. Again open primaries are agreed to by party within each state and NC is an interesting case. Still each party could require greater standards for participation. Another interesting item each state party decides on its presidential election rules not the national.

. For better or worse the two big ones have ologopoly over that choice because they cast a wide net of participation. But they are not required to by law allow just anyone to participate. They limit or allow that participation at their own peril
