Yes, sir, General
In this case it is our blood and our guts.

There will be do "do overs"
We can not have perfect.  We know that but if the only thing that is possible is simply not good enough then NOTHING would be better.

I certainly have faith that the folks working on our behalf in Springfield are trying their best.  However, we have seen before concessions which achieve nothing but to embolden the other side.  The more we give, the more they ask for.  That's isn't the fault of our guys...good faith is being abused.  And, unfortunately, many on the other side of this issue have proven time an again that they are willing to take advantage of the good faith.

I saw Todd compared this struggle to a boxing match, and this is the 9th round.  I respectfully disagree.  In a boxing match, there are rules both sides must abide and someone overseeing those rules.  There are no rules for the other guys in this fight.  They have proven that time and again.  This is war...and not the kind of war that we have become accustom to in America.  This is war of the sort that we need a Patton for.  I don't know who our Patton is.  I have heard no one who speaks with the irreverence, the commitment, the fire, the passion, the fanaticism, the true blood and guts to fight this war.    

"We're gonna keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We're gonna attack all night, we're gonna attack tomorrow morning. If we are not VICTORIOUS, let no man come back alive!"

I apologize and retract my remarks, made, of course, in jest re "assault charges". It was thoughtless. Thought I was among friends, forgot about hostile readers.

Mods feel free to delete my message. (Post 10 this thread)

Can I confess there would be raised voices and uncomplimentary commentary without ruffling feathers?

My point, clumsily made, is I would not have Tod's patience in dealing with folks at the Capitol. Think most of us would agree on that.

Nor my bar tab, acid reflux, gray hair, and general disdain for those unclear on the concept. . . Just saying

This is not a boxing match it's a no holds barred street fight...or a no DQ boxing match with Mike Tyson.

I've only been hanging around this forum a short while, but quite frankly one of the things that distresses me is the way that one tidbit of factual information is swarmed by a flock of magpies who engage in all sorts of wild speculation and hyperbole---complete with typos that often render their comments nearly unintelligible---until we end up with a thread that's far removed from any facts at all.  Ultimately people begin responding to nothing more than another person's speculations, concern rises, then paranoia, and then the thread devolves into a waste of time.

How the heck hard is it to give "our people" some credit for knowing the turf and the "enemy" and trying a little bit of 'shut up' instead of airing your psychosis in public?  It only seems to create dissension that ultimately hurts the cause.

[TyGuy]

Say what?

Btw, IDK what a magpie is, but watch out for personal insults.  It's against the code of conduct.

Oh, and welcome.  It's a great place here.
