If you use reading comprehension (which you apparently did not) you will notice that JW was correct in his post. Also, it was great reading your liberal post!

I tend to agree with more liberal points of view but I'm open to good ideas not matter where they come from.<br /><br />I'm on the fence about moderating comments. Part of me thinks it's not entirely fair, but then again I've visited the Watauga Conservative blog and was totally overwhelmed by all the long and often rambling comments on there. It felt like 2 or 3 people just posted over and over and totally dominated the conversation, like it was pointless to try to say anything because it would just be lost between the rants.Not Reallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-87138992076009517392011-08-29T15:34:54.364-05:002011-08-29T15:34:54.364-05:00Speaking of hyperbole....where did JW get the figu...Speaking of hyperbole....where did JW get the figure of $4.6 BILLION in budget cuts?<br />The Republicans claim that they cut from what Governor Perdue proposed by $200 Million. The Dems are saying it was $600 Million...<br /><br />But now, 4.6 billion in CUTS? Cuts from what? certainly not from the Perdue budget.<br /><br />BTW, it's difficult to discuss these matters here when JW only posts some of the responses to the liberal positions. I realize it's his sight and his rules, Im just saying that all the arguments aren't being posted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-2754741304219377932011-08-29T15:30:37.593-05:002011-08-29T15:30:37.593-05:00Not Really...I was making a sarcastic point, as I ...Not Really...I was making a sarcastic point, as I am sure you know. It was in response to the post above mine in which someone pointed out to JW that we are broke.<br /><br />Conservatives think the answer to going into deeper and deeper debt is to reduce spending. JW..who is apparently arguing against the budget as cut to meet our balanced budget requirements...seems opposed to the cuts.<br /><br />Thus, my point...liberals seem to be arguing that we can just "tax the rich" more and all of our problems are solved. How about let's all share the tax burden? You want to raise taxes? Raise them the same for everyone. Why should half of our population not contribute to their government?2 4 Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-61449990228200466932011-08-29T07:04:30.502-05:002011-08-29T07:04:30.502-05:00I do not think liberals are open minded at all.

I realize you were using hyperbole here but it's hard to have a serious dialogue when you make statements like that. I'd call myself a moderate liberal and I'm for tax reform - closing loopholes, eliminating many deductions - and yes, higher rates on very high incomes. You and I may disagree about that last one but I think you'd find "liberals" are more open-minded and more diverse than you imagine.Not Reallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-31337732444120406762011-08-28T17:04:55.193-05:002011-08-28T17:04:55.193-05:00Government is never "broke" in the eyes ...Government is never "broke" in the eyes of the liberals.

For example, he is using the same tactic that his predecessor Debra Ross did to try to defeat the HB111 (concealed carry in parks and restaurants) by keeping it bottled up in committee.<br /><br />He also tried to gut the Castle Doctrine. We need a Tea Party candidate to run against him in the primary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
