Come you guys. Scorpius knows that it is those low-life Libs that created our present economic mess. They have spent billions on a senseless war, and run up a staggering $9 trillion debt. Just remember one thing. One of our greatest Presidents, Ronald Reagan, destroyed the USSR by bankrupting them. GWB is very quickly bankrupting the US. The US dollar declines in value everyday, and we have turned to China to hold us up. This scares the H out of me.

Scorpious, do you realize that you’re viewed as a joke? Your constant attacks have destroyed any cedibility you might have had, so now you’re just a source of humnor - like what’s the fool saying today? So, in that respect, we miss you when you’re absent for the laughs that you provide us. Your response to any issue is so predictable, just like every repub response to any issue.

Is that the best you can do?

An extremely weak comeback lacking any originality.

B-league, lady, B-league.

On the earth-shattering controversy in Homeywood: If a pre-determined, standard rate existed, it needed to be charged. If discounts are to be had, and the policy is to allow the mayor/council some wiggle room on the rate, so be it. What’s good for Dems should be good and equitable for Repubs when public facilities are being used. I’m not for political favoritism with tax-supported infrastructure no matter where, no matter who.

As for what Hinshaw did, he ought to be censured and the vote should be retracted, thus nullifying the passage of the bill to the senate for consideration.

Dems know good and darn well that had a GOP member cast a vote to pass anything conservative (read: sensible), the Libs would have thrown a first-rate hissy and shut down the house. (Imagine Cam Ward voting on Alvin Holmes’ machine.)

To try to excuse it away is outrageous, disingenuous and reprehensible. But, lacking character as they do, the Dems in the House and the Dems in this blog aren’t about to renounce anything that, by hook or by crook, furthers their tax and spend agenda… or calls out a fellow accomplice.

Sooner or later, the people of this state will wake up and smell the dung fumes that emanate from the jackasses that control the legislature.

I, for one, hope that someone pursues this. It’s wrong to use public resources for partisan purposes, no matter whether the candidate is Obama or McCain. Perhaps one of the media outlets in Birmingham will pursue it.

I wonder how much the Obama campaign paid to rent Bartow Arena at UAB for his campaign rally. Think he paid full freight? And what about “breaks” the campaign received from UAB and the city of Birmingham for parking, facilities charges, etc? Watch out Dems - this one could backfire on you.

Homey, Maybe you didn’t notice; I said it is wrong no matter who does it.

There you go again, Cooper. Many, but not most….whatever. I still contend that a pretty sizable majority of his district (whether many or most) would benefit from the tax plan. Do you disagree? Even the Revenue Department’s figures would support that.

And the fact that the mayor provided the discount to a GOP candidate is NOT a partisan issue? Get real. And I’m not looking for a conspiracy, it’s just the facts as reported in the news reports, but I guess you attribute that to the liberal medua, huh?

And what’s the deal with the Amendment One issue…I’m merely stating facts, once again. Both Bridges and Riley campaigned heavily for that amendment,stating that the state’s policy of taxing low income people more heavily than the wealthy was “immoral.” But somehow, neither of them seem to think that’s the case any longer. Either they are being disingenuous now, or they were disengenuous in 2003 - you pick which one, and I’ll accept it.

I’m not carrying water for Hinshaw - how many times do I have to say that his actions were wrong. But, you keep going back to that because your stance on the Homewood deal has no substance. Once again, a standard GOP ploy - I’ll just move along to personal attacks if I can’t justify my position any other way.

And your Amendment One argument does not begin to hold up - guess youre carrying the water for the redneck hinshaw who says that b/c brdiges voted for amendment one that he is for this tax increase? bs
