No.  We need a social liberal and a fiscal conservative.  Enough of the back and forth.  We need stabilization in a positive direction.  If someone truly fit this description and could generate name recognition, they would be an easy winner.

Do it. Maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity. Sadly I'm being serious.

I went to Summerfest in Milwaukee some ungodly number of years ago to see Duff.  Duff canceled for some reason, and Gilby replaced him.  It was a good show, but he's not an elite lead player.  He's better than me, but that's not saying much.  As a rhythm player, I think he's above average...or at the very least he played Izzy's parts well (the few times you could hear him).

I used to be poor and white.  Now I'm just comfortable and white.  I admit to looking down on the poor and white...at least the ones that feel they can't do anything about the being poor part.  You can always do something regardless of your situation.  In might not be easy.  It might actually be really, really hard.  But there are things you can do to fix the poor part.

I think you guys are giving the president way too much power. It doesn't work that way.

Hey SG - update the OP with who is going.

#1558 Re: Guns N' Roses » Vegas Shows Roll Call » 531 weeks ago

I'm starting to get excited.  I have a trip to Reno between now and then, so hopefully I don't blow all my gambling money before Vegas.

I don't really believe anything from MSL anyway.  He usually has bits and pieces right, but most of the things that pop up are things anyone could have guessed with some knowledge of the situation.

Here's the problem (and unfortunately this is the sad truth): the only way someone not from the establishment is ever going to change things is by being outrageous.  There's no other way to do it.  Plenty have tried and failed.  It has to be a Trump or someone like that, but just because he starts it doesn't mean he has to be the one to finish it.  Someone else more reasonable can come along with a similar message but a more subdued approach.  Maybe that ends up being Carson.  Maybe it's someone else.  But the only way you're getting a foot in the door is to kick it down and that takes someone like Trump whether we like it or not.
