APA Pilot Running for Congress

[waveflyer]

well-- what would you say if i told you that right-wing guys ONLY line the pockets of CEO's redistributing wealth from the middle class to the super-rich?.... i'm tired of subsidizing these guys

The left side is the lesser of two evils -- for sure.

Not one of us can say our lives have been better since 2000.

AND DON"T BLAME 9/11.

<shrugs> I would say that you should vote your conscience, then.

And yes, my life has been better since 2000. I'm sorry for you if your life hasn't gone as well as you hoped.

Great. Youre at WN? So b/c you've been good- nothing's wrong? It's all about you?
Do you really think that the what has happened to the legacies won't affect you? Eventually?
You're on a compensation island over there right now. You should want every legacy to be paid more than you-or at least get their contracts up close to you.

For the VAST MAJORITY OF US- for those aspects of life that government and business affects- life has NOT been better... maybe you've been gloating about that b/c so many legacy guys were always so arrogant before? I kind of don't blame you- but we are all affected by "industry-standard" wages.

And that's my point. The people you elect DO NOT BELIEVE you are worth the money you earn b/c you ARE JUST AN EMPLOYEE. They believe that only entreprenuers should earn money

That being said, i'm happy in my personal life...- i have a church and beliefs that keep material things in perspective. But, you're right that it is a shame that things haven't gone better financially in me and about 60,000 of our friends. I can't speak for them- but I've earned better.

 

[Nindiri]

Did I say any of that? As a fellow professional pilot, I wish you the best. I simply don't share your political views.

 

[waveflyer]

my political views changed greatly when i saw so much money stolen from my peers.

 

[Nindiri]

Raising taxes not only on me directly, but also on the companies that my 401K is invested in isn't going to put more money in my pockets.

I'm not a devote McCain supporter but I gotta agree with Cindy's logic:

"From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days.

I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that."

Cindy McCain

OBAMA IS JUST BARELY OFF HIGH MINS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD........

Compare Obama's experience with that of Lincoln when he was elected POTUS...

 

[Nindiri]

Compare Obama's experience with that of Lincoln when he was elected POTUS...

That comparison doesn't inspire me with a lot of confidence in Obama.

 

[waveflyer]

??
pissed about freeing the slaves?

 

[Nindiri]

No, pissed about suspending Habeas Corpus and putting journalists and Congressmen in prison for opposing the war.

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

No, pissed about suspending Habeas Corpus and putting journalists and Congressmen in prison for opposing the war.

Sounds more the Bush....


back to the point....

Lincoln wasn't even the expected to win the nomination..... he was a backwoods lawyer, one term congressman.....

he turned out to be one of if not the best POTUS....

 

[Nindiri]

I'm not aware of Bush putting American citizens in prison and suspending their Habeas Corpus rights. No matter, neither he or Lincoln is running anyway. I'm sure Obama has some good points, but this comparison doesn't show me anything other than that it's possible to be elected with less than a majority of the votes.

 

[pkober]

Sounds more the Bush....

Back that up. How many congressmen have been put in jail for speaking out against the war under W? Zero. Though hopefully Murtha will be kicked out of congress for slander against the marines, his fellow marines, he called cold blooded murderers.

He doesn’t want “Drill Here, Drill Now”.
He thinks global warming is a concern.
He’s a member of APA.

Why would anyone want to support this union pilot that doesn’t understand the issues.

Who's his opponent?

I'll send him some money.

DRILL...DRILL...DRILL

 

[waveflyer]

yeah- you want drilling because it's not your coast and land that it will screw.

- there are simply better solutions- you can't shun alternative energy b/c it will take too long to develop- and then be for more drilling when it will take just as long... It's a perfect time to make the transition off the stuff altogether.

Nindiri- amazing-- .... I'd love to have a career that will allow me an income to invest. Maybe you've already got your nest egg??
There are pilots in the pipeline behind you, idiot.
