Aw Gee!!! can't have anymore fun. Ok will leave Ruffy alone, hope he doesn't get to lonely. Swampy
Some of America's smartest!

Over the past eight years, our nation’s leaders have failed us. Sometimes they invited calamity, rushing us into an ill-considered war in Iraq. But other times, when calamity arrived in the form of hurricanes or financial storms, they sat back, doing too little too late, and too poorly. The list of failures of this Administration is historic. I won't be part of the continuation of the last 8 year debacle!!
But even worse than the conditions we find ourselves in are the false promises that brought us here. The Republican leadership said they would keep us safe, but they overextended our military and failed to respond to new challenges. They said they would be compassionate conservatives, but they failed to rescue our citizens from the rooftops of New Orleans, neglected our veterans, and denied health insurance to children. They promised fiscal responsibility but instead gave tax cuts to the wealthy few and squandered almost a trillion dollars in Iraq. They promised reform but allowed the oil companies to write our energy agenda and the credit card companies to write the bankruptcy rules. I hate to tell you Duke, there are far more important things going on in America than issues related to sledding. I'm thinking of what is better for all not what is better for me or a relatively small group.
There, that is my plank!

I didn't know you could speak like that! Well done! Though...I was kind of hoping for a dukendouche comment...
lolSee there you go Ruffus. The nature of your output does not cause me to attribute a very high level of intellegence to you. Sorry, words like douche don't do it. Dude above answered exactly as he should have. I'm not interested in debating the validity of the points made above just wanted to know how you two explain the obvious dichotomy between sledding and supporting democrats.
That said dude, those sound a lot like dem talking points. My guess is you've never really discussed those issues with someone who could actually chew gum and tie their shoes at the same time. Start a thread and I'll counter point every assertion that was made. We won't agree on much other than politicians, all politicians, are scum and nothing more than vote chasers. To some how decide that one party who has supported land use issues are scum but the other party that would like to put an end to sledding all together are not scum and therefor worthy of your support, is not a well informed or thought out position. I vote the lesser of two evils and if I go down the list on each side, the repubs even if they are scum, offer me more than the dems. It might be a good thing that they lost their base this cycle. Maybe they'll wake up and be true conservatives. That said, I was not going to go out and cut off my nose to spite my face by voting dem.

lol, Inside joke meet outside man.... BTW, I was making fun (trying to anyways) of justadude, not you....well maybe you were an accessory after the fact...
Ruffy was giving me a bad time not you!!
No offense duke, but I am not interested in unwinnable wars. What would be the point of having this discussion with you when there would be no end in sight??
Again, I'm thinking beyond my personal likes, dislikes and needs.
Yours Truely, Justadude!
The rare Gun Loving, Access minded Democrat!

So go out and evangelize access to your liberal buddies. They wouldn't be half bad if they didn't think they owned the whole forest.
I do!! I surely F'n do!!!!
