Perhaps the Repubs can get a few amendments to Obamacare to pay back supporters...malpractice award limits for doctors, some other bullshit for the insurance companies and big pharma.

But, a repeal is very unlikely.

ok so it's Romeny for Prez and Democrats for the Senate? ok

As long as you are willing to give up Supreme Court seats to the ultra right wing crazies.

I am not.

All the rest of the issues between Romeny and Obama are just bullshit.

Bee, I was in your shoes decades ago. Sitting in the bar at the airport waiting for the flight home. Week after week. But, I always looked forward to my wife! She was always very comforting and attractive from that airport seat.

Of course, I always looked forward to LEAVING after a few days at home, too. :laugh:

You just heard it.......

Drilling for more oil/gas to achieve energy independence.

Repeal Obamacare.

School vouchers.

Favor job creators and entrepenuers (presumably by tax benefits).

Oppose abortion.

Jettison environmental laws in favor of "your family."

A presidential "jobs tour", like Kim Jong Un's field guidance.

Get tougher with China and Iran. Use "more backbone" and less foreign policy flexibility.

Are you sure that the GOP wants to "fix the economy?"

If they could be reelected with a still faultering economy, but with healthy tax cuts for high income persons and for corporations, they would ignore the general economy.

If it's a night flight, I take a dramamine and sleep.

Day flight, I drink wine and lots of water. Watch the moving map display and sleep on and off.

BTW, 10 hours is not a particularly long flight.

Australia and New Zealand flights are longer by far.

My longest single flight was from Newark to Hong Kong on Continental Airlines....about 16 hours non-stop.

I get irritated when I hear that Paul's views are supported by the founding fathers.

What a crock.

Under Paul Ryan's plan, Mitt Romney wouldn't pay any taxes for the next ten years -- or any of the years after that.

Well, maybe not quite nothing. In 2010 -- the only year we have seen a full return from him -- Romney would have paid an effective tax rate of around 0.82 percent under the Ryan plan, rather than the 13.9 percent he actually did. How would someone with more than $21 million in taxable income pay so little? Well, the vast majority of Romney's income came from capital gains, interest, and dividends. And Ryan wants to eliminate all taxes on capital gains, interest and dividends

I have never seen a place with no Indians and no Orientals.

Once driving through Canada, going from Toronto to Halifax i had to take shelter in a one horse town due to a major snowstorm, in the middle of nowhere, pop barely 10k. Right next to the motel, wouldn't you know it a Chinese restaurant and right next to that an Indian one.

I googled. Thereis one indian restaurant and 450 asians in the county of 40,000.

I view it the same way I view billboards.

They are there. They don't bother me. I really don't pay much attention.

Tyrone. said:So as a negro man with a big family would I be welcome in that area?

Welcome, yes.

Unusual, yes.

This area is nearly all white...mostly scandinavian.

There used to be a large Chinese population when the salmon canneries were in operation. The asians are largely gone now, along with the canning businesses.

Flyover has some charms, such as nice people.

But, the weather is substandard.

There is some similarity with Ecuador. Things here in Clatsop County just don't work at 100% efficiency, like in LA.

Cannon Beach is nice. You should check it out.

Been there many times. Will probably go there for breakfast this trip and, perhaps, for the live theatre.

Great question!

I did not see any. Just driftwood, razor clam shells, bird feathers, and occasional sand dollars.

Nice area, but inland.

Nothing as soothing as the sound of the surf.
