Surely you mean Scotland?

Listening to TTK pontificate about the hefty is like listening to Michelle Obama talk about salad bars.

Naked Gun. 1988. Caddyshack. 1980. Chevy Chase and Cristy Brinkley. Looks like Leslie was a copy cat. Still funny though.

Did Leslie say it first?

Um, that was Chevy Chase in Caddyshack.

Because there is none, ya leftist dupe tool. But, by all means, feel free to post the latest analysis by your friends at Huffing-and-puffingtonpost.com. Never mind that though, I would like to hear your take on all ACORN's demonstrable election fraud. I s'pose you're ok with it?

Tell us, JDJR, do your mother and sister come for your laundry even as you dine with Ralph Waldo's wife and squat on his land?

You would think that. Nobody put Baby in a corner.

Absolutely. Did anybody ever doubt it? Still, does this somehow absolve ACORN?

Nope. When you have dozens of ACORN members conducting election fraud it is, without a doubt, endemic. Probably even sponsored. And these are only the few who were caught.

Maybe you should just quit before you embarrass yourself even more. Seriously.

Never mind that Prole doesn't know his history.

Oh really? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/11/26/acorn-workers-convicted-admitted-guilt-election-fraud/?test=latestnews The scandal-plagued ACORN may no longer exist, but its tarnished legacy lives on in court, as the activist group and its former employees face criminal punishment. So far this year, at least 18 former workers have admitted guilt or been convicted on varying charges of election fraud. The punishment has ranged from probation to several months of prison time. ACORN, once a powerful advocate for low-income and minority voters, shuttered its operations amid plummeting revenues in March, six months after conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute caught on video some of the group's employees offering them tax advice. But the group is still facing charges in Nevada on conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters.The trial, originally scheduled to begin Monday, has been postponed likely until next year. Former workers across the country already are being punished for their criminal activities.In Miami, seven former ACORN voter registration canvassers were convicted of "false swearing-in an election," and sentenced to probation and community service and banned from participating in future political campaigns, according to court documents. In Pennsylvania, six of seven former ACORN workers who were charged in an investigation were convicted of unsworn falsification and interference with election officials. Four have reached a plea agreement on reduced charges and will serve two years of probation. Cases against two others who entered pleas to reduced charges are pending. Charges against the seventh, Eric Jordan, are not being prosecuted because Jordan has pleaded guilty to much more serious charges, including aggravated assault, resisting arrest and carrying firearms without a license. In Milwaukee, three former ACORN workers have been convicted of election fraud. Last week, Kevin Clancy was sentenced to 10 months in prison for his role in submitting falsified voter registration forms before the 2008 election. Clancy will start his sentence once he finishes another sentence he is currently serving for armed robbery. Clancy's co-worker, Maria Miles, who pleaded guilty to election fraud in August, will be sentenced on Dec. 6. In September, Frank Walton pleaded guilty to submitting 54 fake voter registrations during the 2008 presidential campaign. He faces up to 42 months in prison and a $10,000 fine when he's sentenced Dec. 6. In Washington state, Kendra Lynn Thill was convicted in March of voter registration fraud in the 2006 midterm election. In Nevada, a former ACORN supervisor pleaded the equivalent of a no-contest in a case alleging that canvassers were illegally paid to register voters during the 2008 campaign. But while Amy Busefink's plea acknowledges the state had evidence for a conviction at trial, her lawyer said she still plans to challenge the constitutionality of the state law prohibiting paying canvassers based on the number of voter registration forms they turn in.

¡Viva El Garza! Seems to me that an outside-in ambush would have worked out better for him. WWRD?

Sure she... ...nevermind.

My hunch is that a progressive consumption tax would have the same or better public perception-of-fairness going for it, and would do a much better job of promoting savings, investment, production, and long-term productivity/economic growth. It would have to replace the income tax, and would require a constitutional amendment. By its very definition it would be progressive. Unfortunately, it wouldn't serve to sate the class warfare instincts of certain leftist malcontents--like the ones we find here in the form of j_b, Prole et al.

Nope. The anti-tax initiatives that are now strangling your Olympia beast.

Do the flat-tax math and it falls apart. If the poor and middle class paid their "fair share" under a flat tax, their taxes would rise dramatically. The wealthy, who pay the lion's share already, would fare better on the backs of the vast majority. Unless we take a notion to repeal the 16th Amendment, a progressive income tax remains the best way to maintain social harmony. Put into climbing terms, try thinking of it as a mountain that gets progressively steeper as you approach the top. The only reason guys like me are considered right-wing is that we don't see any value in punishing wealth and those who produce it. The lefties you find here don't think anyone should be allowed to reach the aforementioned summit. As for your gold standard nonsense, you may want to put this very-fringe notion aside for good. Take a look also the idiots who promoted free silver in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries, or, antithetically, at Nixon's unilateral unpegging of the US Dollar from international gold in the 70's. This economy is based on one thing: faith in the federal government's ability to make good on its monetary commitments. That faith is in jeopardy because of unchecked, politically-motivated spending on both sides of the aisle.

...but not until she was forced to do so. We'll see. The beauty to behold here is how voters were able bend even the most corrupt politician to their will. This, as opposed to the libtard sheep among us.
