  1. Typical republican...taking a quote out of context. ;)
  2. Im not sure how, but I feel like this sums up the debate nicely:
  3. I agree that RMoney looked better than ever last night, but I didn't see it as a mauling. I was actually impressed with Romney and disappointed with Obama, but I think much of that had to do with my personal expectations, but I think a lot of people had similar expectations. I'm hoping the President was just holding back a little for the next two. You know, he didn't want to pull out all his weapons in the warm-up round. Also, I am really not looking forward to the Ryan/Biden debate...it could get ugly .
  4. 1) I agree. I am also nervous, but I wouldn't trust anyone else in our rotation with the ball in a one game playoff right now. 2)Agree 100% 3)It does suck because so much can sway a single game in baseball. But I would have killed for it last season, since we would have been the second team. 4) Ditto
  5. Nope, always Pizza Plus. And you probably have met me.
  6. Would they play the Nats in the NLDS? I thought you would only meet a division opponent in the NLCS. But who knows with all the changes this year. If they do make it to the NLDS, then their only home games will be Sunday and Monday of next week, then they go on the road for the last 3. However, they could potentially be in Cinncy. So really all three places (ATL, DC, and Cinncy) are about the same distance from us. Either way, I would love to go to a NLDS game, but I probably cant since I'm going Friday. I just couldnt pass up the chance since I havent seen Chipper play all year. However, I would def be in for a NLCS game in ATL, DC, or Cinncy if they make it that far.
  7. Its at 5pm...right? Or did they change it since earlier today?
  8. Ummm...no we don't. The ONLY pizza we sell is half of a medium pizza, which is 4 slices, for $5.00. Also we sell it at every game, not just occasionally. Sometimes we run out around the 4th quarter, but always start of selling pizza. Like I said early over the past 5 years, we have not sold pizza by the slice at all, much less for $3.50. Trust me on this, I know because I give people the pizza and take their money for it.
  9. Yes, if I have to go by myself I am going. Right now I have a friend going with me, but he wont know for sure if he can get off work until tomorrow afternoon. But if you can swing it then you should totes go with me.
  10. Anyone else heading to Atlanta on Friday for the Wildcard Game?
  11. Because, no one ever took advantage of the welfare system before Obama took office. There have always been handouts under both republican and democratic presidents and if you think anything will change under RMoney, you are fooling yourself. Romney will continue with the same spending habits, just like GWB did, except he will also be cutting taxes on the rich which will only push us further in debt.
  12. Yeah, that's sound logic. I say teams start putting "We Suck!" or "We're going to Lose!" on their banners then run through screaming "I do not agree with this message!"
  13. Im glad you know exactly how I come to my conclusions about politics. The truth is that I am intelligent enough to analyze the facts and come to my own conclusions. The fact is that Rmoney said that the 47% of people that do not pay income tax believe they are entitles victims and that he shouldn't worry about them because they will never take personal responsibility. There is no reason to believe that he was referring to the 42% (UVAO's number) of people that will vote democrat no matter what. Dont believe me here is his exact quote: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. And I mean, the president starts off with 48, 49, 48—he starts off with a huge number. These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. And he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people—I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." As to the last part of your statement, you are putting words into my mouth. All I did was take exactly what Willard said and explain what I think it means. I never said he was going to specifically work to make hell for the people that don't vote for him (Although that has been said by conservatives about Obama), he said that his job is not to worry about the people that don't pay income tax, because they will never take personal responsibility. Just like Deuces Nana.
  14. Not when compared to Willard. But that's not the point. RMoney was born into money, and it is impossible for him to relate to people who haven't been rich their entire life.
  15. We all know you're are a Falcon if they lose...that is well proven, but their is no evidence to suggest that you are a Falcon if they win...since they never do.
  16. Except, a good portion of that 47% are people that tend to actually vote for RMoney. Only about 7% of that 47% do not work at all, the rest are people working, but not making enough to pay income taxes (but still pay payroll taxes) and the elderly. Not to mention the fact that the percentage of non-income tax payers that come from conservative states is much higher than the percentage in liberal states. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/09/19/us/politics/who-doesnt-pay-federal-taxes.html
  17. See, this is where you an I see it differently. When Willard referenced the 47% of people that are going to vote for Obama, I think he was referring to the 47% of people that do not pay income taxes in America, which is a correct figure, and not the 42% that have already made up their mind. Ok, so now stating an incorrect "fact" is considered "solid truth". The last time I checked fudging a number by over 10% is not a "solid truth", assuming he was in fact referring to the people that have already made up their mind..which he clearly wasn't, since he goes on to clearly state who he is talking about (HINT: Its those people that don't pay income taxes) You really shouldn't.
  18. Willard "Mittens" RMoney I would rather my first name be Hussein than Willard.
  19. But...but...you just said in the other thread that RMoney's economic plan was why you are voting for him. Why would you base your vote on an economic plan that is not effective?
  20. The problem is that everyone that uses government assistance doesn't simply "choose not to work". There are many people that take advantage of the system, but there are more that legitimately need the assistance. I just hope none of you all are ever in a position where you need a little help, because then you will be accused of being lazy and "choosing not to work". Besides, how can you say RMoney has a better economic plan, when he himself refuses to talk about the details of the "big cuts" that he plans to make? I guess we should just wait until we elect him to see what he has planned.
  21. Implying that RMoney wants to "teach poor people to fish"? Give me a break. He has already made it clear that those "47%" of people are not his concern. If you all want to talk about damning sound bites, so can I.
  22. To my knowledge, we have never sold pizza by the slice. I know for sure that we haven't in the last 5 years. We sell half of a medium (4 slices) Pizza Plus Pizza for $5.
