1. Oasis trumps all.

I wish I could walk and chew gum,like some can.

12. funny... nt

3. they're the same topic

why separate them?

4. I think one ties into the other

In fact, the Paul Cranick story may have already won the midterm elections for us.

If this is an example of the Rethug/tebagger a-la-carte-pay-as-you-go smaller government, we must get out the vote and repeal the Bush tax cuts indeed.

5. Have any of your threads ever had a net rec above zero?

7. In your view, debates over policy and elections are wholly separate concerns

Attention to one degrades attention to the other? I think that's the craziest thing I ever heard. Debating the merits of policies like the one you mention is part of being involved in an election.

8. too simply a choice and

the real issue about the FD story isn't the fee, it is that they allowed the house to burn which is cruel and unusual punishment. It goes to the very question that the torture issue raised and debated has allow such a cruel act to be even questioned in our country. The election is important and it is shameful that the debate on the FD even exist because it goes against the very principles we claim in our nation since our beginning.

11. To play devil's advocate though, we claim we have always been good, but slavery was institutionalize

institutionalized in our Constitution.

9. Oh, it's just too tempting to check "fire department" during this moment of high drama

:rofl:

13. How important is the election to you if you have time to ask this question?
