  1. I would ask the same, if I can call it that. Please stop believing in the Reagan myth of how great he was, and bad Carter was.. The prosperity was in spite not because of him. Recovery came about because Oil Prices dropped, which he had nothing to do with. If Carter was Reelected he would have had that benefit, as it happened in 1983. Reagan gets credit for something he had ZERO to do with. There is very little Reagan "got right".. IMO. Everything the GOP now stands against, Reagan did.. Which confuses me.
  2. In what regards? I'm confused by that comment.
  3. Are you thinking Reagan was a good President.. Why ? He was probably one of the worst in the last 50 years..
  4. Kinda of sucks.. I am hoping they allow him and De Aza battle for the 3rd and 4th OF next year.
  5. 100% Agree, look how the GOP portrait Reagan as some "god", and how great he was... When in reality, Carter was better, the problem was.. Carter had a crappy situation that was out of his control, which improved dramatically under Reagan.. And what I am talking about is the Oil issue, of OPEC.
  6. It was from several books, Bernie Sanders, Speech he did in Dec, which is now a book. Robert Reich's "Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future" The Young Turks, internet news sites.. Though, I have looked and others have tried, yet I/they can't find anything to discredit that claim.
  7. Gotcha, for every dollar the GOV Spends on infrastructure building, they get back 104% back in taxes. I believe it is the only ROI that is positive in regards to GOV spending.
  8. I know several people that would disagree with you, the economy could help. Rebuilding America is IMO the way to give it a boost.. The ROI on doing that is 104%.. How is that a bad thing?
  9. Wait, I am for what you did.. I have friends that are Twins fans, from Minny.. They admire Ozzie.. But, they want Ozzie over Gardy, so it seems the Grass is greener on the other side, when things are not going your way.
  10. Or might have a bias for looking for a scapegoat, every fan of their team when it goes bad blames the manager, sometimes it is justified.. and IMO in this case it is not. My #1 fear, we fire Ozzie, 2012.. Same problems... Which means it was a bad team from the GM, so we have to fire the GM.. And now we hire a new GM who wants to bring in his own manager.. Which means we don't get to the playoffs for the next 3-4 years...at best. Only good thing, we get some decent draft picks.
  11. I really like Huntsman over everyone.. Perry looked overmatched, I don't think he answered one question more like deflecting and speaking on what he wanted to talk about. Out of Death Penalty, which he was very proud, to "play God" with others lives... which for the record, I don't know which side of the coin I am on that.. Does killing the killer, really make justice for society? I think the moderators did a bad job not following up with the question they asked. The Romney Tax Question was just bad on his part..Because someone is poor, that means they don't support the troops... That's just bad overall. Newt, How long can he try and keep blowing the Reagan myth before America wakes up? Paul, just looked more Naive on allot of topics And the others, don't really matter.. they won't be around in 5 months IMO. I also thought being on MSNSC, they might ask some hard questions.. But, alas they didn't.
  12. I'm fine if we play them and we win out.. IMO we are building for 2012, if they showcase they play.. great, I rather see it now, then wait and see in 2012.
  13. I dvr it, and watching it now.. so far, I'm trying not to laugh too much..
  14. I actually like they left Viciedo in AAA, and not rushed him up here, like what they did with "bacon". I don't know where Viciedo would have played also.. which you pointed out, do we give up on Dunn, an experienced VET in June.. I don't know what Fan would have been sure lets do that.
  15. I didn't think so..I didn't like the Pen at all from March on.. I didn't like the fact we let Putz go, an experienced closer. I thought the Pen would be our donwfall.. I didn't think the offense would be a problem.
  16. I would like to see him do a Verlander.. Tone it down, and then when you need it.. 7-10 times a game ramp it up. But then Verlander is a freak
  17. Thanks, don't get a chance to listen to any radio. Here is my issue with Hahn, if he is Kenny's right hand man.. and Kenny is the problem... How is that changing things? I also see how its perfectly set up so Jerry doesn't have to be the bad guy in this.. which sorry, you own a team, you have to be a bad guy every once in a while.
  18. I know, I saw Chicago Tribune Live.. And they mention him moving up, and Hahn taking over.. Which I don't know why you do that. Jerry is too loyal IMO to anyone it seems, which is a huge downfall in the end.
  19. I didn't state that, but was that the #1 problem last year the DH?
  20. Caulfield, I agree, I don't think both are back.. But, if the Sox Fire Ozzie, and the team does worse.. then what?
  21. I think it all starts at the top and trickles down. This IMO is Kenny's version of a team.. this is what he wanted. Kenny is on the hook, just as last year Ozzie was on the hook for his version of a team. If this year doesn't win 88 games, or better.. I am willing to Rid the team of Kenny, and follow what the Cubs just did.. or about to do, look for a GM who understands player development, the rushing up of Gordon, is just bad. We all know the Sox Payroll is depended on Wins, and staying healthy.. Just image how bad this team would be if Paulie was out for 15 dl? And since we can't predict staying healthy esp, when the core is getting older and can't play like they did 6 years ago.. I think all fans micro-manage every single action of Ozzie/their manager of another, but overall Ozzie is given the hand he is dealt. I still see him as a top 10 manager in baseball right now. It seems from your post we beg to differ, which is great.. I like to get different view points. Which is why I said early on.. I know I am in the minority.
  22. Fair enough, so is this solely Ozzie's fault? Or does Kenny get blamed?
  23. I love me some Sons, even though they ride Harley's..
