re: Does JBE win re-election?

How the hell am I a liberal? I support U.S. Supreme Court justices with the judicial philosophy of the late Judge Scalia and current Judge Alito. I am now and always been 100% Pro-Life Catholic, I am for 2nd amendment rights. I have always favored the Federal Government funding the U.S. Military properly. However, I am for a Reagan foreign policy with respect to said military, not the Bush Neocon Republican philosophy of regime change and endless wars in the bleeping middle east.

I am for sound budget policy. Similar to the 1980's Republicans like Senators Rudman of NH, Simpson of WY and Bob Dole of Kansas. That means I am for controlling spending and efficient and effective taxation. So I am not a fan of the Grover Nordquist camp of doing away with every tax. No I am not.

Republicans at the federal level spend just as much as the Dems, the difference is what one thinks is wasteful spending is the other parties essential spending. Well, controlling spending while spending on things that promote the public welfare and responsible taxation, not taxation that hurts the economy, to me are two sides of the same coin to sound budget and fiscal policy.

And No I don't like paying high insurance rates. But lets be honest, I am 53 and nobody has ever tried to reform the insurance rules in this state. Nobody, because all the legislature, all of them, are getting campaign contributions to not do anything.

LA is to best of my knowledge a state where as long as there is no loss of life or injury where someone is in the hospital, which is corroborated by police and doctors, etc, you can go up to $25,000, not above, and the court system does not oversee it. You have 1 year to be able to sue. So what happens, these lawyers sue for I am mentally upset, I missed work, I am traumatized and they sue the insurance company. Well, unless you have the evidence to prove the person sueing is lying there arse off, the insurance companies settle and these Morris Bart and Gordon guys make tons of money. Those laws have been on the books for a long, long, time, in fact since 1992.

am done laughing and making light of liberals. You are the guy that loves higher taxes and chasing our kids out of the damn state. You love paying high insurance rates and being 50th in everything and last but not least you are the guy that I'm personally gonna go and cancel your vote!

You’re making an arse of yourself with the bumpersticker nonsense.

We are not last in everything.
Rispone is not going to cut your insurance rates in half. Fwiw My rated dropped 4% this past year.
We don’t pay the highest taxes.

Edwards is not the evil you want to believe. He actually tries to work with both sides
