And you choose to spend time on CD?? I think your priorities might be a bit mixed up.

Also, who paid for the billboard, any Conservative group could put that up in a thick Jewish area....sounds like pandering to me.

It's still TRICKLE DOWN.
If you water the roots the tree will grow. If all you do is water the branches and leaves, it will die.

If you water the roots and prune the top back severely, the whole tree grows back stronger than ever.

The Romney campaign is a complete and total embarrassment to what an election team should be. He's bounced back and forth on issues, has no specifics, failed to humanize himself at his convention, and for crying out loud he totally GAFFED on the Libya incident.

Face facts - Romney has run a VERY poor election run and as a result that very well could cost him the presidency. This moderate/independent will NOT give a vote towards Romney as I can't relate to him whatsoever and he's timid on a lot of things.

Say hello to 4 more years of Obama.

This sounds like a lesson from the "Being There" school for presidential candidates.

(sorry, I couldn't resist!)

And we wait for the tree to grow back. He's killing the tree. Instead of teaching that more money must go in then goes out and other things that will help kids understand good old fashion (wealth producing) economics, they learn about pruning the tree at the top so the kids will vote for the likes of Obama lol.
