First off I just want to point out the new tittle format. The old one worked, but i believe this is better.
As I have said before, my boss is a liberal. I like to talk politics with him not to try and change his mind, but to gain some insight into how liberals think. It's amazing. He believes that Trickle-down Economics works, but thinks that it is only fair for those who make the most to pay the most taxes and thinks, like Barack, that they should pay more. He thinks the gas crisis was a blessing in disguise because it will foster growth in alternative energy technologies, which will not be readily available for years, but doesn't see the necessity to tap our own natural resources in the mean time. When the US Congress started talking about letting oil companies drill the price of gas fell... Why? Because the threat of the US tapping its own supply scared OPEC and Big Oil enough so that gas prices fell. After the storms in the Gulf Coast gas prices rose due to the fact that refineries were shut down and damaged and a major pipeline was damaged. now gas prices are once again on the drop, this time not due to the US's threats fo drilling but due to the global decline in the economy.... but I digress.
I like my boss, he's a nice guy. I just can not understand how he thinks when it comes to politics. He abhors abortion, yet is willing to cast a vote for a man who supports it in it's most extreme forms. He has said that he doesn't care if Bill Clinton had an affair with an intern and then lied about it under oath because Clinton "got the job done." So, when it comes right down to it all he really cares about is that the Democrats are in power, no matter what they really intend to do with this country. Its scary to think that there are people out there who only care that the Dems. are in power. What's scarrier is that my boss told me that he used to be a Republican... until he went to college...
Hey Mike... he got his degree from UNCW.... big suprise there huh?
