That was not my intention and I am not one to spout off a whole bunch of unsupported opinions so, by all means, please identify the opinions that were stated as fact. If I cannot back up what I say with real world facts then I will retract my statements.

Great News!!!
[/quote]The rest of the world doesn't agree with you, and neither does the rest of the country. [/quote]
That is the trouble with mixing pseudo-religious beliefs with the concept of truths and facts. My politics align with those of the late, great Ronald Reagan and, as I recall, he was quite popular.
Quote:The rest of the country believe the republicons are for the rich.
A falacy perpetuated by a liberal media bias that seeks to prop up a failed great liberal hope. This is my opinion, by the way, as the motives of the liberal media cannot be proven 100%. How about we call it a very strong theory with a foundation in reality.
Quote:The rest of the country believes that businesses rob everyone around them blind, the employees, the local govt and the environment and they wont be creating any jobs unless they can make a killing on the back of someone unfortunate enough to wander into their employ.
Again, this is a simplistic view that, in the past, has bee perpetuated by those who push collectivism. With a true enemployment rate (U6 plus labor participation) around 20% in some areas I find it unlikely that someone would wander into employment.
But I ask this, why should someone put 80+ hours a week into a small business just to give it all away to some union boss and waste on government? Doesn't a business owner owe it to his employees and customers to run his business is such a manner as to be financially stable enough to maintain his workers and honnor his warranties?
Why should I lose my job because the government and unions syphoned so much future capital out of my employer that he was unable to plan ahead more than two months? Maybe if the unions and government reduced the penalties on business then employers could afford more salaries and perks for employees instead of being flushed down the tax hole.
Quote:We need to rein those runaways in. Businesses are not charities. They wont be creating any jobs unless it paid them several fold. So you dont need to go on about Obama care or other regulations. These are all poor excuses.
Your feelings about the legitimacy of these "excuses" is irrelevant because it is what is causing the problem. If everyone in the country disagrees with me then why aren't all businesses forcing maintaining their growth irregardless of the regulatory and tex environment? If the world agrees with you then why is the Eurozone crashing?
Quote: The next thing they'd complain about is the 40hr week and having to pay minimum wages.
It has been proven that minimum wage laws hurt the young and minorities. This isn't an opinion but a fact and I can provide all the proof you are willing to consume.
Quote:Or the fact they cant employ illegals if they can just pay them cash under the table on a per piece basis instead of hourly (look it up, it has happened and is even happening)
Yes, Conservatives and Republicans are huge fans of illegal immigration. I apologize for the sarcasm but this pretty far out there in relation to the conversation at hand.
I think we can agree that the media is skewed greatly to the left. I think it was Jefferson who talked about the dangers of the "people's manners becoming corrupt" and we are seeing it now. The 47% Romney talked about are those people who discovered that they can vote themselves other people money and I can't think of anything more corrupt than that. Nearly half of a population stealing from the rest of the country and future generations in order to live and easy life. Let's see how that works out for Greece, Italy and Spain, not name a few, through the rest of the year.
