Scalise's "Faux News talking points" and cancelled the "agricultural promotion assessment". So I guess that cancels the NCTA occupation.

You sure don't use intellect in confecting your baloney." No, no, you totally missed the point! Every third or fourth post, I take the left side of the argument and try to use all the cool progressive buzzwords. I'm getting ready for a career change. I want to be a high performance "journalist" like Walter. I'm gonna buy a bike, and some sandals, and some of those ugly black eyeglass frames like they wear on MSNBC, too. Maybe I'll grow a soul patch, too. - ragin_cajun Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:07:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24795 by ragin_cajun "What is the tanning tax being used for?" ------------------- Once Obama outlaws tanning, what will happen to tan lines? - Tub O'Riley Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:23:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24765 Buddy Roemer is the only candidate in this race who refuses to be bought by special interests. Of course, that's exactly why he's being shut out of the debates and ignored by the MSM. All the more reason to support him! Thanks for giving him some ink! - theantiantihero Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:34:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24762 Gene: wher ya been bro? - the original northsidian Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:19:39 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24759 "When dismissing a statement because you consider it a talking point, it's probably best not to use a common leftist talking point such as "Faux News" in the same breathe." ----- Unless you're a leftist publication trying to promote mostly a leftist agenda, which describes the Independent, for the most part. - RCajunrunner Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:58:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24757 There goes the IND again... so now us TEA partiers are cracked and of little use, in addition to all the other snide, mean, despicable things they call us. Go ahead, keep it up. I bet Steve May loves paying all his taxes as much as the staunchest TEAers. Why does the IND continue and expand the name calling? There is no logic or reason... just hate. We just want to not have more of our money (earned by our work, effort, creativity, investment and risk) taken away, especially since so much of it is wasted filling a gaping chasm formed by corruption, fraud, and waste. - snaildarter Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:43:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24755 Buddy Roemer!! Don't sell him out so soon. There IS Americans Elec.org which YOU ALL can participate in if you're a registered voter. At some point I hope Buddy will GO for Americans Elect. At that point YOU can be the way or him to be a thirdparty candidate in 2012. - aurora1920 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:14:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/pooyie/9372-pooyie-111611#comment-24751 Ragin Cajun, have you ever tried to make sense with what you say or is it that you have to babble?

I thought we all agreed here that government is the servant of the people! Why should the servant of the people be hitched to the corporate greed of an industry that makes money by killing millions of trees every year? I think Mr. Scalise is right. A tax on Christmas, for corporate greed, is nothing more than a tax on the working man! And his children! Think about the children! I think we should occupy the NCTA! - ragin_cajun Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:54:08 +0100
