Entitlement Programs:
1. Military Retirees
2. Federal Retirees
3. People who paid into a system through taxes (Social Security, Medicare, etc.)
4. People who have a bona fide disability or handicap.
5. Kids who have poor parents.
6. Parents who have kids and no means to support them.



How would you add to this list, sort this list, and cut people off of this list?

If they are Americans, they are not "entitled" They are Americans that can use a hand. By nature,most Americans are hard workers, granted there are a few that are lazy, but by and large most would work if they could find a job. NAFTA CAFTA and all these corporate peeny pinchers sending jobs overseas are the cause of us needing entitlement programs. SIMPLE....

None of them have a chance....Obama '12, IMO. Especially if he can keep reminding voters of how the Republicans held the American economy hostage with a bunch of political grandstanding (democrats do it to) . And for all of you who think we should not raise taxes, a majority of Americans think we should. Politicians number one job is to do the will of the people, that is what they get paid to do. Nowadays, politicos on both sides are doing what they need to do to keep thier jobs, with total disregard for what Americans want. I expect a rout in 2012, but Obama won't be one of the routed because he can convince the people that he is bipartisan...THAT is reality.

"According to the survey, only a third say that taxes on wealthy people should be kept low because higher-income Americans help create jobs, with 62 percent saying that taxes on the wealthy should be high so the government can use the money for programs to help lower-income Americans"

we should just eliminate all insurance, death, car, health, homeowners, health etc. Every man, woman, and child for themself. Puting all insurance companies out of business will also having the side effect of puting most lawyers out of business as well.

When looking for future leadership candidates, it is important that the young men have developed a sense of gravitas.

And be cool enough to shoot wild animals for the hell of it. Perry is probably a closet animal/child abuser. Anyone that brags about killing an animal the way he did, while claiming to be christian is a hypocrite and a sick puppy. What ever happened to loving god's creatures and respecting life? You know he did not eat the coyote he shot.

I placed my first ad on Astromart on 9/7 in the Mount section of the classifieds, and on 9/14 I noticed that it aparently had dropped off, though it is still in the "My Classifieds" section of my account. Do ads normally drop out of the classifieds after a certain period of time (one week)? Is there an easy way to keep the ad up or to relist the ad if the item has not sold (rather than going through the process of reposting it from scratch)? I would imagine that there would be an advantage to keeping an ad near the top of the classified listing. Are there any restrictions or limitations on how often an ad can remain up or be relisted?

Pay a couple extra bucks and you can have a featured classified, keeps your ad visible, helps Amart sustain....

Nobody's started a thread on the 800 and the 80 YET?!

Should we be concerned about tracking errors in that the guide scope is not attached to the imaging optical tube? The way I understood the add, the mount has an instrament capacity of 90 pounds, seems like it would take a pretty robust setup (rings/dovetail)to avoid flexure...At that price, it seems like a a good contender for the CGE Pro.

Any Herman Cain supporters out there? I like the guy, he seems to have none of the political (or personal history) baggage that the other contenders have, and he definately has intelligence and experience. He is doing well in the polls now, he seems to be surviving the slug-fest better than the rest. But his popularity might be the usual anti-Washington ferver, destined to fade as so many "outsiders" have in the past. Could Cain beat Obama? Sure he could.

Cain is dead in the water.....

I like the guy well enough....but he can not run on a simple tax plan alone especially when he starts moving the goal posts and making it complicated....

"Roughly 31 percent started or manage nonfinancial businesses. About 16 percent are doctors, 14 percent are in finance, 8 percent are lawyers, 5 percent are engineers and about 2 percent are in sports, entertainment or the media."

Like David Brooks, I believe the true goal is to lift up the less fortunate, not beat down success.

And who are the other roughly %24? Lying by omission...

Wow! This is so dammd predictable!

http://washington.cbslocal.com/2011/11/02/third-former-cain-employee-claims-she-was-harassed-by-gop-candidate/

"She was located and approached by the AP as part of its investigation into harassment complaints against Cain"

Uh huh. Uh huh.

"The woman spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying she feared retaliation..."

Uh huh. Uh huh. Getting better.


"She did not file a formal complaint..."

Uh huh, Uh huh. Pulling out all the stops here folks...

"Afterward, she learned that a co-worker — one of the two women whose accusations have rocked Cain’s campaign this week — had already done so. She said she would have had to file if they hadn’t."

Un huh. Uh huh. Damn those other two would have to file their complaints before she could, ruining all her chances for justice! Well honey, ya snooze ya looze.

You are sexist...how can we tell? Because you are automatically going to the man's defense. The girl has not even had a fair hearing yet you are already dismissing her. Lets hear the whole story, that is how the American judicial system works...

Awesome pic!
