You mean long-time Liberal Democrat [with wildly inflated self-image] Don Mackenzie, - the guy who routinely cuts off the debate at Town Meeting when he sees conservatives in line to ask questions?

I don't think we've been attending the same town meetings Mike.

He's done it to me, my wife, and my friends for over 6 years - gets worse each time.
I've grown real tired of his lame jokes and pontifications too...

@Mike, just what the hell town do you live in? You spend a lot of time - let's say all of your time - yapping on every local town website. No wonder you like Romney, you can't pick a place and commit.
Jesus look at the number of comments you write on a daily basis, get a job. You are what is wrong with this country. "Pontification"? Methinks the freeloading, government pension collecting, lady doth protest too much. Gotta bet the only check you ever cash comes from those nice folks at the Treasury. No wonder you love America so much. When my time comes I can't wait to be a drain on the country while spending my entire free minute spouting dementia and hyperbole to the empty tubes of the Internet.
4 more years of Obama sir, but don't worry - it will give you something to do. Maybe dream up more 3rd grade names. Play that favorite hobby of our aging population - bingo. Specifically "mix and match conservative bingo" game ....I got one you can use free of charge (I know you like free things, free markets, etc.) "liberal progressive socialist taxolesbian environazis" BINGO!

PS - I like how you blame the current administration for the economy not being as bustling as it was "in the industrial revolution" (your own words). Someday someone might explain to you how its impossible to expect our country to maintain economic dominance in the world making textiles at factories situated on rivers in the Northeast.
But I see that's why you are confused, you fail to realize that some people are doing just fine. Newsflash to anyone struggling for employment (young or old) - There are dozens of 6 figure jobs in software development in the metrowest and Boston Area/ In 'Ruby on Rails' software alone (a language and stack that is relatively easy to learn). And shocker, they have been there even through this recession.
The point is, the world moves on - my wife is in healthcare (OT) and I'm a software developer. We bought a house, sold a house, raised a kid, bought 2 cars, all in the past 5 years and with no help or trust funds.
And maybe here's why you can't understand why I keep voting for some of these people....because the world you are always describing (imaging?) is not our world. We're fine over here. Sorry others missed the boat, and I'd like to help them with services if we can. I'm sure there were a lot of telegraph operators who got left out when Bell rose to prominence....but I wouldn't trust them as unbiased observers of the economy anymore than I'd trust you or most of the leftovers in this country playing "Armchair economists".

....Not when most of the whiners are either A) choosing to live in a inhospitable part of this country where no sane man was ever meant to live (unless he was truly stranded), or B) trying to scratch a living out of economy that no longer exists....not regionally and not even nationally.
Haters going to hate. I accept that. But seriously man, acknowledge some facts before you pin all the evils of the world on the executive in charge of a government for the past 3 years. Busts: Railroad, dotcom , housing ...are a collaborative effort.
And I don't see anyone blaming all the construction workers, house painters, electricians,plumbers, home inspectors, real estate lawyers, home decorators or even people who work at retails home goods stores (basically, millions of Americans) who profited off that last big bubble....right up until they didn't have a job.But no it's Obama's fault for not righting the ship...but meanwhile not expanding government. How do you tax cut your way out of a asset bubble and national debt bubble simultaneously (while not decreasing entitlements or military spending)?
And please tell me one evil lie you wouldn't believe about Obama. I've heard you quote widely discredited lies about the killing of Osama, non-existent welfare policies...the list goes on. If someone said that Barack had personally put the spear into Jesus, I bet you'd believe it. (And then you'd claim he converted to Islam after that)
You are a peach, Mike.
