Sounds like this punk was expecting someone to come looking for that money.

By the way, as an ex-con their are already laws that ban him from owning a firearm. In other words, the gun laws were ineffective here as I expect they would be if applied universally.

Besides empowering…

P.S. I forgot to mention that if you have some excess money right now I'd start first by setting aside a rainy-day fund of both cash and food.

I think it's still premature to "invest" yet. Right now, I'd say "protect" your wealth by purchasing a little gold and perhaps spread your cash between US Dollars, CHF (Swiss Francs), NZ Dollars, and Singapore Dollars (possibly some Yen, too).

Wait a little while watching commodities closely - particularly agricultural…

Sez,

I don't have any facts to back this up, but I figure McCain, Obama, and Biden have easily spent similar amounts *from campaign funding *on wardrobes and image enhancements.

If you have facts that dispute this I'm interested in seeing your source.

On another topic: I think that those…

Yeah, it seems big changes within a party have to begin in the smaller elections - state and House of Reps.

Still, there are times when pragmatism has to override idealism. Again, it's much easier for me this time as the outcome seems inevitable at the state level and at…

Helter,

P.S. I REALLY do like the Constitution Party's platform and principles better than the GOP anyway. This is just the opportunity I've been looking for to vote my heart.

Helter,

Admittedly, it would be a much tougher choice if my state were a really tight race. As it is, my state is clearly in the McCain column, and I really don't like McCain or 85% of the GOP right now. I'll send a message if I can.

In fact,…

The difference is that the Clintons, McCain, Obama and Biden have paid for their nice clothes, etc. with their own money, not with money donated for the purpose of assisting them in getting elected.

What makes you think that?

Additionally, if Palin doesn't have the deep pockets to fund her…

taka,

Good point about the hypocrisy. I don't care what John Edwards spent on his hair cut either - as long as I'm not paying for it as a taxpayer.

As for Palin being a Wal-Mart hockey mom I don't think this makeover for her and her family change what…
