  1. Does this season have a bad look before we even get it started.
  2. Now this is the truth. The GOP doesn't resemble the party it once was. We used to have a conservative party which was absorbed into the GOP which then went even more to the right and much more confrontive since the contract with America. Largely a party of hard line rhetoric and obstructionism at this point. The old GOP would probably be winning the white house this time around but they wouldn't nominate a reasonable candidate (Kasich) so now they will probably lose an election I think they could have won.
  3. My wife and I live in Western New York and both retired and retirement income is little over 50,000/annual. I would say we are comfortable and able to take vacation each summer for couple weeks. We eat out on average once a week. Have to add still paying a mortgage for about five more years. Biggest threat to our security is definitely health. We do have investments that we now have to take out the required minimum withdrawal on. I think a lot of retirement planning is answering what kind of life style one expects or desires in retirement.
  4. With a few exceptions I tend to agree.

    MSG Simulcast

    Update. I'm now wondering if this is a DirecTV problem and not MSG problem. In any case I could not get the simulcast of Hockey Hotline today which wgr550 was saying would be on.
  6. Advertised to start today with Hockey Hotline????? I'm not getting it maybe technical problem? Oh well.
  7. We need our citizens to all take Government 101so we at least are educated on the function nd responsibilities of the different branches of government. Tax laws or laws for that matter are the function of congress not the president. He can use his veto or try to influence congress to do something but the tax laws we have are the responsibility of the House and approval of the Senate.
  8. A third party candidate who refers to East Korea. A third party candidate who couldn't recall a country leader he likes (apparently he doesn't know who they are). Wow this leaves me filled with hope for a third party movement.
  9. I believe I read somewhere that my congressional district is one of the most conservative in the country. Chris Collins is pretty typical of people in the district. Many times I have to remind myself of this when talking with friends who grew up here. I think the state overall though is pretty blue and the GOP has a long way yet to go to change that. I would agree not as far as it had to go a generation ago. I think also that, to me anyway, conservatives have been more and more appealing to emotions and less to the intellectual side. There are many conservative intellectuals but we don't hear as much from them as we do those who aim more to our more emotional side.JMO.
  10. The longer this goes the more value posters will give him. He is good and potentially very good but not deserving of Ekblad money. I trust Murray to know his value and ownership to pay it.
  11. I can understand completely not supporting Clinton but can't for the life of me understand supporting Trump. Clinton is for me by far the lesser of two evils. I may not vote but I fear Trump as I don't think he is mentally balanced and I saying that literally.
  12. Media drives this whole "issue" to a great extent. Cable news ,although I am against censorship, does a disservice to our social and political environment to a great degree. It's almost becoming the Enquire mag of years ago. Talk radio 24/7. JMO.
  13. Now I would not be surprised to see Nash to Buffalo and Rangers taking back some salary.
  14. Trump is a white bigot...period. Sorry but I have never seriously questioned people's mentality for supporting any particular candidate this is an exception. Trump supporters, if they are even slightly serious, I question whether they are just racially or just plain off to be supportive of a person that is so classless and bigoted to say nothing about dense on real issues.
  15. I could care less about what number any player wears. What's the big deal?
  16. Right now anything but WGR is improvement. I think they are proof that local sports fans are pretty rabid that they can get anyone to listen to that crap.
  17. That's why any insurance program must use a community rating system where high risk to lower risks are grouped together. Healthcare cost issue has to be dealt with as well. I worked in healthcare environment for 30 years on the business side and I am convinced our system is broken badly. We spend more and get less than other systems but we have allowed ourselves to be brainwashed into thinking our system is the best one. It may be for those making money off it but the majority of Americans would be better off in my opinion with a socialized system such as Canada's. At the very least a universal healthcare plan for insurance.
  18. Okay, your post isn't really worthy of reply but please elaborate on Trumps experience and qualifications.
  19. The republican party, in my opinion, is further to the right than the Democrats are to the left. Trump I don't believe is either right,left or centrist. He is whatever gets him spotlighted and cares less what he says or does in order to meet hi need. Frankly I hope the GOP becomes more like it was prior to the moral majority days when you didn't have to be beholden to far right wackery. I know what the far right people will say but Hillary is more center than Cruze and what Trump was willing to be to get nominated.
  20. When inflation was flat and I worked in the business side of medicine medical costs were going up at an average of 18pct annually. Obamacare as they like to call it was a scapegoat for not having to reform our healthcare system. If you want to find the real culprits it's the providers, drug companies and attorneys. Our presidents healthcare plan is not the problem.
  21. Once again.......there is no knocking the socks off. He will get the maximum ELC period. Haven't we gone over that to the point of museum.
