Lemme know how that works out once the US Treasury bankrupts the companies and buys them for pennies on the dollar.

But it was all worth it.

For the Adults!

Icarus was the other candidate. Has he dropped out? What are his feelings on another candidate who is for the children?

I am going to practice reverse Galtism. That is, I will buy the tanked investments that Galtists leave behind and profit greatly when they return.

As a practitioner of Galtism, I’m not spending anymore or helping to do anything positive for the economy or the United States for the next four years. Right now, the best thing we can do is sit on our hands, stop creating wealth(*), and deny it to Obama to spread around.

(*) Yes, I know, only Keyesians thing buying drinks stimulate the economy. I’m not investing domestically either.

(Edited to add, Oh, I see you were referring to Doug’s comment. my bad).

As a fiscal conservative I hope you are buying the drinks during happy hour to save money.

That’s if you think raising taxes is a good decision, then Martin is your man.

I’m surprised you didn’t include Ann Coulter in yoru list.

Until you FIND SOME PRINCIPLES that folks can see you adhering to, what are you?

How is it, Erick, that you have launched some sort of witch hunt against Republicans who won’t support Palin and NONE against a Republican that eviscerated every line of the Republican party platform?

What ARE YOU?

The standards of the Republican party clearly put you outside of the Republican party.

What are ANY of you?

You ain’t conservatives.

And you ain’t Republicans.

Give me your list of guiding principles that prove me wrong – one that your leaders Bush and Saxby have not violated and which has been promulgated by the party.

I am waiting.

Great Society III,

GS2 was George W.

Is the prospect of avoiding having a Great Society II for the next 30 years a good enough reason to hold your nose and vote for Saxby?

Still, by 2010, that may be a pretty major feat.

This is not a mere write-in campaign. Farris has personally guarenteed a landslide victory against Johnny, offering to buy everyone in the state a round of drinks if he is wrong.

Quite a bold statement, that I have been trying to talk him out of, but you know how confident and stubborn R.B. Farris can be.

We have the write in Farris for Kids campaign going strong!

We have the write in Farris for Kids campaign going strong!

We are asking a one dollar donation on every drink during happy hour to finance the message. Please give until you puke.

imho, many conservatives are tired of simply voting against the liberal agenda. the gop needs to put forth candidates running for something instead of against the other party.

Rome,

I think the majority requirement is one of the best features of Georgia elections. It actually allows voices for third parties. Buckley can have his say without his presense hurting the side he is more closely aligned with.

If the requirement was reduced to say 45%, voting for a third party would be like doing so in the Presidential election. Harmful to your own side and helpful to the party that is united with a pluralty.

Look at it this way, if you go to the extreme of eliminating a runoff altogether, and three candidates are running, 2 reasonable moderates and one Hughie Long type populist. If the reasonable candidates split the reasonable vote 33%-33%, the dangerous candidate would only need 34% to win the election. Even if the runoff would be 66%-34%.

Every election for every position should require a majority, except at-large multiple candidate elections.
