Who cares what white folk preferred to be called?

People filled with goodness and light.

Oh and let me guess, these people are white Europeans?

Which US gov't programs are unnecessary?

How the hell would I know? I'm not the President, nor a member of Congress. That's not my job; that's why we pay them.

How is that something you can take Warren to task over then? How do you even know there are unnecessary programs if you've no examples of any?

The small amount that I've read about her is primarily about raising taxes and creating more government support. I agree with both of those, to an extent, but I perfer a bit of balance to it with cutting other areas, which I've never heard her mention.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Raz would have made some attack at this point or continued to press on Meri for examples...whereas I now understand what Meri meant.

Your gotcha debate style, 'sall.

[merithyn]

Ah gotcha.

I'll be honest and say that I haven't read all that much about her, so my opinion could easily change if the situation came up. At this point, based on what I know, I don't particularly care for her.

I feel sort of the same way, but that's why I vote Democrat as a party and not for individual Democrats.

Anyway, I've said before why I think party discipline, especially now, is so much more important than personal stances.

My go-to is "conventional armed forces," but I guess it's not a very popular cut.

There's probably some room to cut there.

I don't find it necessary to pretend to know something that I don't.

Then why did you say what you said in the first place?

Uh, no.
