[Rhodes22-list] Politics - Sexism

[Brad Haslett]

Slim,

You miss the obvious.  Your boy O declined public financing because he
was beating the competition 3 to 1 in fund raising.  That's all well
and good but we've all seen his face, we've heard his message, and no
matter how many times you repeat it, we've all seen the success of
Stalin, Mao,  and other Marxist ideologues, and we're not impressed.

I can't find the bulls eye of unemployment  of the gnats ass under a
microscope in Minnesota, but I have a rough idea where it is in
Tennessee.  My employer pays good wages for part time employees,
offers full-time health benefits including health care, and college
tuition re-reimbursements.  We also have a lottery here, what I call
the "stupid tax" and the Hope Challenge college fund is over funded
because there aren't enough students who can maintain a 2.75 grade
point average in college to qualify.  What next?  Fog a mirror and
show a pulse and you get a free feed bag for life?

Steve, welcome to the 21st century.  There's 1.3 billion Chinese and a
billion Indians behind them who don't give a shit about your theories
about who's ox got gored by whom.

I can only speak for about 3 billion people, they like capitalism and
recognize that it is in the best interest of their children.  Michelle
O may have a different observation.

Brad
