		<description>David,

Trust me, when the next president gets in I will very likely be ranting against that person as well. These people need watching, otherwise we get...well, we get what we currently have.

Do I have authority issues? Yup. :)</description>

		<description>No need to argue. But your original post was a mini-rant about BushCheneyHaiburtonFoxNews, and the price of gas when W took office. It just seemed one-sided, that&#039;s all.

I&#039;m glad we can agree that improvements are needed all around, and that we can have this kind of snappy, witty, repartee.

Respeck.</description>

		<description>&quot;I certainly agree that we need some sort of campaign finance reform (not just McCain-Feingold). And some teeth in our anti-trust laws. And some better government accountability. And a huge reduction in our bureaucracy. And … and…

…a better class of candidates to lead this country.&quot;

Then why are we arguing?</description>

		<description>@Daffy--

You should check out the definition of conspiracy; they even use small words that I could understand!

I didn&#039;t claim that you said anything; you did, however, give a pretty good description of a conspiracy. I was lamely trying to use humor to expand on that idea.

		<description>&quot;Nothing will be done to seriously enforce our anti-trust laws until we have real campaign finance reform.&quot;

Our anti-trust laws are hardly laws at all.  Just vague descriptions begging to be interpreted by whomever however they please.</description>

		<description>No, David, it is not.

It has EVERYTHING to do with campaign finance reform. Spare me the Limbaughesque straw men.

It&#039;s very simple (I&#039;ll use small words for you): politicians of both parties are loyal to their corporate sponsors more than they are the voters.

Got it? Nothing will be done to seriously enforce our anti-trust laws until we have real campaign finance reform. Why would it?

No iluminati, space aliens, or anything else you want to claim I said. Simple campaign finance reform.</description>

		<description>@Daffy

&lt;blockquote&gt;I said nothing about conspiracies…you did.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You&#039;ve got to stop. Because you DID say:

&lt;blockquote&gt;It has everything to do with 2 oil men in the White House…as well as an entire federal government, both parties, that has been bought and paid for by corporate lobbyists.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

But that&#039;s not a conspiracy.

Have a great day!</description>
