[Kaslin]

You got that right.

>> Can’t refute a single word, so attack the person <<

Argumentum ad hominem hobgoblinus inferioris mentis est.

[Elsie]

Wow!

I’d never listen to another one if that happened to me!

[Elsie]

Don’t forget that number includes state legislatures so your comment my not be correct.

A lot of mine aren't!

[Tax-chick]

Heh, good one.

[Elsie]

No; but I can remember when they were driven through my neighborhood by the vendors FEET!

A 3 wheeler with a big container for the goodies in front.
Back in the days before home airconditioning and folks were outside a lot.

[Elsie]

Toga, toga, toga!

[Mrs. Don-o]

HA! Good one!

[Mrs. Don-o]

I do like ice-cream even in a snowy January. I'm told ice-cream sells like hot-cakes (hmmmm) in Siberia all winter long.

My husband got me some Cherry Vanilla ice cream and this afternoon I made a float with 7-Up. I haven't been that excessive in years!

Noting succeeds like excess!

"If there is anybody in the USA who is entitled to pontificate, it's Thomas Sowell. He's not only our greatest living economist, but I think he's also our greatest living social theorist and public intellectual."

I'm just responding in order to repeat what you said. You've taken the measure of the man and got it exactly right.

[Cymbaline]

So what?

After all these months, no coherent plans have emerged from the rhetoric of "The Donald"— just sweeping boasts about all the things he says he will achieve.

Again stopped reading here. The Donald has just as much specificity as any other candidate does. He's got his plan outlines for various things up on his site. Only a fool would deign to write an uber specific "plan" at this point considering that nobody knows what the make up of the congress will nor what the world situation will be like. Sowell just has sour grapes.

[DouglasKC]

Proof? In the past 8 years we've elected OVER 900 Republicans and they haven't done squat. Nothing. Bupkis. Zero. Zip... They TALK. Period. Our borders are like sieve's. Our vets treated worse than terrorists at GITMO. Our country's bankrupt... Those of us who know how to 'DO' look at Trump with wonder and are thrilled he's willing to run.

Massive ringing endorsement applause!! Hear hear!

[Eric Blair 2084]

Land shark, Donald Trump is not a conservative. (<-——Period, notice the period)

Much like Michael Bloomberg, he is above such petty labels like conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, leftist, libertarian.

Those labels are only for peasants. :-)

Thanks Doug...

[GOPJ]

Thanks jaz

[Elsie]

Land shark, Donald Trump is not a conservative.

HMMMmmm...

I always thought a Conservative was one who did NOT want others to run his business...
