honestly I don't either but the republican field is so weak, RP is kind of like Deandre Liggins leaving early.


Any other year, he probably wouldn't get drafted, but with this year's field, you never know.

I'm not a Paultard, but I really think he has a chance to win nomination with a diluted field.

The Party would no more line up behind RP than they would have Donald Trump. He's not getting the GOP nod.

"however since we handed it back to the Casino then *they* have to pay taxes on it as income"

Yes, but even under that fucked up scenario, it is perfectly obvious that when they handed it over to you in the first place, that's a $1000 loss to them. Then, if they get it back, it's a net neutral trade. They lost $1000 and then they gained $1000.

I agree and it should all wash out in the books at the end of the day.

and I'm just really trying to read Kasich's mind here - that when the money changed ownership - however briefly, then it became a taxation issue

so they found porn on Osama's computer...go figure.

probably women showing their ankles and shit

"when the money changed ownership - however briefly, then it became a taxation issue"

Fine, but when the patron "wins" the money, the casino "loses" it. They should get to write that off as a loss if they're supposed to be forced to claim a gain when the patron "loses" it right back to them. This shit is just stupid. Who the fuck is running things in Ohio??

I'd vote for Ron Swanson before I'd vote for Ron Paul.

Swanson makes a decent chicken pot pie.

Funny, I just read that this morning. He hates Goldman like nobody's business, but those articles are freaking depressing.

Sadly, John Kasich.

sigh

On the same day that Rand Paul equates health care to slavery, Ron Paul reiterates that he would have voted to uphold Jim Crow

what are you complaining about - you got Obama voted in

going backwards

moving forward hasn't been exactly a raving success

maybe not, but it has been an exponential improvement

We're not going backwards, it's just that the backwards people (who will always be here, they're like poor people, they can never totally go away) seem to get more exposure nowadays.

The 2012 election has already started. 18 months of this shit. I'm aleady sick of it. I wish people wouldn't give politicians money to bombard us with their lies and empty promises. I'd quit watching television but I love sports. By this time next year I'll quit watching any news programs. I just can't stomach it.
