APA Pilot Running for Congress

[Captzaahlie]

High quality candidate there. Enjoyed climbing balconies on overnights to get a peak at the FA....

John Belushi did it it in Animal House.... I'd vote for him in a second if he were still alive.

 

[Captzaahlie]

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

Exactly, even Lincoln had more experience than Obama's 143 days....

If you are concerned about a President who ran roughshod over the Constitution, and I know Dumbocrats never let this bother them, I have two names for you.

Woodrow (huh, huh, hmm hmm) Wilson and FDR

FDR imprisoned Jap Americans, spied on people like a paranoid Stalin, admired Mussolini and Hitler's Fascism (before the war), strangled the freedom of the press and instituted a draft.

I actually am a fan of his, to a degree. I just think it is hypocritical (again, never an obstacle for a Lib) for anyone to berate Bush for taking only a fraction of these same actions. FDR is a hero to the left.

Woodrow simply ran amuck in Central and South America; nation building and attempting to create an imperialistic utopia. And you thought the Neo-cons cornered that market?

These again are the things a modern lib accuses the right of today. He also instituted the 1st draft and the federal income tax (any fans of this?) Introduced racial segregation into the federal govt. (I know there are fans of this, you hatemongers:uzi: ) Supported eugenics (compusory sterilization of undesirables). That sounds pretty good actually.:laugh:

Come to think of it, Democrats have been there for or started almost every war in the 1900's. The warmongers!:beer:

WWI - Woodrow
WWII - FDR
Korea - Truman
Vietnam - JFK, but mostly LBJ

P.S. I want Batman to impregnate me so I can produce his buttbaby. (an inside joke from a previous post)

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.

You're putting NOTHING in a 401K or an IRA? That is a foolish decision, my friend.

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

And how much national government experience did Bush II have when he was elected president? He was pretty much just a figurehead in Texas.

I'm not aware of Bush putting American citizens in prison and suspending their Habeas Corpus rights.

yes because rules we lay down for ourselves don't apply when we're dealing with those damn dirty foreigners.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, etc... I think that's the central tenet of Bush's supposed "guiding light" - Jesus Christ

 

[Helos2Galaxy]

Delta's got an MD-88 Captain running for Governor as the Republican nominee in Delaware.

 

[Nindiri]

yes because rules we lay down for ourselves don't apply when we're dealing with those damn dirty foreigners.

Yeah, that's pretty much it, because I don't give a damn whether some Al Quaida terrorist from Afghanistan gets his feelings hurt in Gitmo. You don't like? Too bad.

 

[JoeMerchant]

That's the same with every mainline group and their related "express" groups. The APA pilots are nothing unusual in that regard. I agree that it's ridiculous to blame the regional guys for problems that the mainline guys created for themselves.

I thought we were one big happy family and a "brotherhood"? You mean it ain't true?

 

[JoeMerchant]

I'm so sick of hearing right wingers parrot the same bunk crap....

....you prefer the left wing crap........

 

[JoeMerchant]

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

I'm tired of subsidizing dead beats who make bad decisions in life and/or don't like to work.....I don't want to subsidize ANYONE....

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

How do you figure? Your welcome to your opinion....but the majority of pilots would disagree...

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

I can....I'm sorry your not.....Not everyone is worse off.....and many who are did it to themselves with real estate they couldn't afford.....

AND DON"T BLAME 9/11.

Regarding airlines....it's not all 911...Althought that is a major part of it....It's also deregulation (Carter), high oil (no drilling and declining dollar), internet (Gore?), and absolutely no unity or lateral movement ability within the business......

You go ahead and blame Bush for it all.....some of us are more realistic....

 

[JoeMerchant]

Great. Youre at WN? So b/c you've been good- nothing's wrong? It's all about you?

You said "none of us can say things are better than they were in 2000".....That isn't true...The left is trying to drag everyone into the "pity party".....The day after Obama is elected the media and the left will be talking about how much better things are....They are already starting to turn....

There are some incredible real estate deals out there....Take advantage of it waveflyer....Don't rely on the airline business as your sole source of income....

 

[JoeMerchant]

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

How was it "stolen"....I could say the same about the left wanting to "steal" my money thru higher taxes.....

How will the left protect you? Are you familiar with what has happened in Michigan? The left and the unions haven't done squat to protect them....The only state in the union with negative economic growth......Is that we all have to look forward to?

 

[JoeMerchant]

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

Funny....but I bet the left doesn't mind that.....Lincoln was far harder on Americans than Bush has been on the enemy combatents.....

 

[JoeMerchant]

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

I'm a native Californian....born and raised on the coast....Now I live in this guy district in Florida on the coast....DRILL...DRILL...DRILL.....Heck put one in my back yard....PLEASE.......
