    I am not an engineer.
    Perhaps the salesmen of roofing products are more asute than other salesmen and they did not trigger your BS detector.

    If bobbys was honest...

    He'd admit that where he is (North Coast, Oregon) you're lucky to find two brands of peanut butter... let alone a wide selection of industrial supplies. His choice of building materials will be quite limited. That likely has an effect on the filters he puts in place.

    Guess which one got more attention?

    .

    I do not know why your Questioning my Honesty but sometimes i am honest by chance but you are correct there are limited suppliers here , However Salesmen come from Portland thus a shed full of samples ..

    Because of Limited supplies anything out of the ordinary is ordered from Portland.

    I have no idea what their political beliefs are nor ever asked.

    Do you deny that the above is, indeed, true?

    We know that RonW is about as conservative as they get in the Bilge.
    He posts a thread today and appears to find it credible.
    How do liberals deal with this adversity except to dismiss it as crazy?

    This is how Conservatives (Rep. Allen West) have been presenting themselves at all levels of government.
    Having a spine is telling them to GFT.

    Paul, your regular mantra is about Obama not making progress. Would it make you happier if he turned to McConnell and Bohner and told them to GFT? I know I sure would be happier. That's spine.

    Nope, That is a learned behavior. Learned from not having to suffer the consequences of your actions.
    Generally you can only acquire that behavior from having a family that has both the power and money to bail you out of your indiscretions.

    Sometimes the truth is negative. There's a difference between and excuse and a reason. The FACT is the Republicans have used the filibuster more under this president than at any other time in history. It is also true that this particular group of Republicans have said their number one priority is the failure of this president.

    There are things this president has accomplished. Another simple fact is the stimulus passed and things turned around. That is not to say things are great, but when Romney says, "Obama didn't cause the problems with our economy, but he made them worse," he is lying. Don't take my word for it. Ask Romney who's said he never said it was worse, and has, in fact, said it has gotten better.

    I see a nation where Republicans are of sufficient strength in Washington to deny Obama anything he might want, and I see states where Republicans are in control going backwards. Now it is a woman's right to abortion or contraception. Wisconsin just repealed the law that guaranteed women equal pay. What's next? Do they lose the right to vote?

    Maybe we'll have white's only water fountains again.

    Some, I suppose, would call all this progress.
    Congress begins every day with a prayer. Enough said.

    Yes... he always sounds so sincere (though just demented enough to spur a reaction).

    The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

    VERY much agreed, Chris Coose ... Spine would be impressive ... like when he was on the talk-show circuit prior to campaigning ... I LOVED what he had to say, and more importantly- how he said it!

    Nothing else matters but how I raise my children ... and their opinion of me, as a father.

    Wrong on both counts. That's 100% negative.

    About this fake ignore list that the lefties keep coming up with and then responding to those that they have on the ignore list.....Davidg plays the same game with me as of lately.
    Is this some kind of liberal out thinking your opponent game ? or just more stupid childish nonsense

    Pretty simple, Ron. After someone is on your ignore list all you need to do is to click on the VIEW POST line to read it. Obviously a challenge, but keep trying and you'll get it.

    Well thanks for taking the time to explain that to me chipper. I must admit it is hard to follow the liberal/socialist mind set.

    So let's review this, the liberal puts you on ignore list because you say things that he doesn't agree with and therefore doesn't want to hear. But he can't resist clicking to see what you said.....

    I guess it is a liberal thing........the conservatives I know wouldn't waste their time on such childish behavior..
