Lou Dobbs Mulls Running for President

Good evening AunieEm2, Did you also sign to draft him? I did but I could not get the interview with my dial-up. I did not think that he changed his stance so quickly. Regardless, if Lou runs; some of the issues that are important to us will see some light - even if he goes nowhere.  (Wednesday Nov 25 | post #57)

Lou Dobbs Mulls Running for President

Thank you Wild Irish Rose o007, It sounds as if he is softening his stance - it doesn’t sound like “Illegal is illegal”. I wonder if he is still waiting for our President’s birth certificate?  (Wednesday Nov 25 | post #55)

Lou Dobbs Mulls Running for President

Good late morning oneeye, Sorry I did not get back sooner - I guess I pulled a hit and run! Actually I was trying to look (unsuccessfully because I have snail mail) at supposedly a “shocking” Lou Dobbs interview: http://rs6.net/tn. jsp?et=11028483323 82&s=73375 &e=001fzsdK2nf 23cGBpfpQCEhCUhgy0 9ksKOdQ9hkyJdc2LkT TW5ylgNgKkFvVq9P1E aLxXsD9oy1WgT_dKjw Bvhi9ldaHCqLyp9q_v j6nAIauiNQUV9lDnOM kaYq8F4CyXlouzXH2v 8V3PXaPv63q1FH4zee 1EntOgCZ2t767BuxuU 9n9pxgI9d0L5LdhGUW I4_UwwGhKFk2y76mT4 jTExFiM5VvTbndq0Qu ZU0AW8AUrJ8= It was posted on the ALIPAC site. I don’t even know if all the characters in that url will post? I just wanted to see what they referred to as shocking. It is way too early to know whether or not Lou will hold up under public scrutiny.  (Wednesday Nov 25 | post #50)

Lou Dobbs Mulls Running for President

Good evening oneeye, President Reagan also had Alzheimer’s. There is a good chance that he was suffering from this affliction when he was in office. I am not claiming that Lou has experience. I think that he cares and wants to make a difference. He does have experience discussing the issues - this isn’t experience implementing change. However; our current President has a very hard time with the word “change” - apparently he does not grasp the concept! Sorry I did get back sooner - I took a little trip to Baltimore today. PS At least Lou got his new teeth while on TV - we don’t have to pay for them!  (Tuesday Nov 24 | post #29)

Lou Dobbs Mulls Running for President

oneeye, I think that his heart is in the right direction and that he seeks change. Whether or not he can accomplish this is another story. I would still like to see him run and see how the issues unfold. I think that he could make a positive difference in the next election. Don’t forget that we had a President that was originally an actor. Besides; even if people are “qualified” it does not mean that they will act in our best interest.  (Tuesday Nov 24 | post #5)

Mount Airy to install digital billboard on Route 611

fistv, I have been complaining about messing up your night vision for a few years. When I was in the service we were told to sit in the dark for half an hour before we would do any night maneuvers. That was time to acclimate our eyes to low light. Perhaps they changed the recommendations when you were in the service? Truck driving; I always thought that the bright, white/blue lights and white lights from these signs were almost blinding. I don’t know if there ever has been any studies on how many lumens are too many lumens? I presume, that in the future, there will be some form of test case involving an accident that took place immediately after one of these signs? What I also don’t like about the gambling advertisement is that it is loud, crude and hits you right between the eyes. They had search light this summer and fireworks that shook my house two miles away. There is just nothing about taste - if they could hog tie the motorist and drag them in they would.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #4)

Stroudsburg OKs police budget with layoffs

Without naming names; how much of our crime can be attributed to the new “industry” in our area? If people are taking chances, with money they don’t have; could this not spark more crime? If we could prove that was the case; should this new “industry” not be forced to cough up the needed funds to pay for our protection? They aren’t doing too good a job at funding government and lowering our taxes.  (Monday Nov 23 | post #12)

Are the courts corrupt, you betcha

fistv, Why aren’t we hearing more about the businessmen that offered the bribes? Why don’t we hear more about the institution that “housed” these supposedly juvenile delinquents? You have been in many businesses. Rumors of impropriety spread like wildfire. I cannot imagine a court system that nobody knew nothing!  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #4)

Are the courts corrupt, you betcha

Good morning fistv, I agree about the ruling - it does not give us confidence in the system. I just would like to have more information on this whole mess. 6500 young adults have to have stories. Some were undoubtedly guilty. However; many were innocent or served hasher sentences that they should have served. Are all the 6500 now out of incarceration? If the 6500 were released and their records cleared; will it still hurt their car insurance or have other repercussions? Who bribed the judges? How many bribes did they accept? We were given a total amount but very sketchy information. I am also sure that there were others in either the judicial system or school system that knew this was not right and still did nothing. I don’t know why we don’t have more national attention on this particular case?  (Sunday Nov 22 | post #2)

Congressman Blasts White House for Faulty Job Data on Governmen...

Congressman Blasts White House for Faulty Job Data on Governmen...

fistv, Actually; it was just beige. However; it was a quarter ton unit. We don’t talk about conditioners in ton’s anymore - that would be a 8000 BTU unit today. I think it felt like it weighed a quarter ton. We did have an avocado stove, dishwasher and refrigerator forever. Some style is better left behind. In the late 1960’s I bought a blue suede jacket from Sears on layaway. I wore it to a parents/teachers meeting in Stroudsburg and hung my new jacket up on the rack. When I came out of the meeting my jacket was gone. Sometimes criminals do us a favor. I did not buy anything else on layaway and I did not miss the jacket - only the money.  (Friday Nov 20 | post #161)
