I agree, Glenn. While I don't know enough about Trump to say whether I'd vote for him or not, he's a heck of a lost closer, generally speaking, to what we ought to be electing than the career politicians that typically litter the ballots...

Lester, I think we're pretty close, ideologically. I often describe myself as an 'independent constitutionalist, borderline libertarian'. I honestly think the government needs to get out of the morality business and focus on respecting / defending our individual liberties. There's zero question in my mind that both the Ds and Rs have lost their way and prefer having the government act as our daddy. 'Freedom to do anything which does not impinge upon another's rights' pretty much sums up my view...

I'd like to see Ron Paul run, but am honestly somewhat curious about Trump. Be interesting to see what happens here - hopefully the fiscal conservatives will look outside of the norm we've had for the last 30 years and try to find someone who is dedicated to real spending cuts.

Just sayin'...

Yep. I should grab an Optimod for my processing chain...

I suspect the goals remain the same in radio - reduce the sonic qualities of the room as much as possible - whereas studios tend to embrace the coloration of the room as part of the recording process. Plus, 100% fake verb sucks.

C'mon man, a joke about Glenn Beck and Jesus in the same post??? I'm kinda surprised the TGO server didn't crash as soon as you hit 'post reply'...

Funny, in recent 'studies', I've also seen Tennessee listed as 'happiest state' and '7th free-est' state. Methinks these are all a bunch of crap (though the study listing TN as the 7th free-est seemed the most accurate in the spread they used to measure financial and personal freedoms)...

That's a good subject - it's been getting a lot of press recently...

Winner.

Well, my fatherly bias might not let me admit he sucked, but yeah, he would indeed. I'd say this is precisely the issue amongst many voters - they love their party / candidate / ideal so much they're biased to the reality of the issue - both parties currently suck. So yah, thanks for driving my point home (har!) - only political bias allows these losers in DC to stay in office by suggesting that minor changes that will have basically zero net effect are in fact meaningful.

Yah, the point is, if the repubs aren't willing to dig their heals in and fight for substantive change now, when will they? They received as close to a mandate form the public as I've ever seen on the platform of cutting spending, and while technically they have dome that, I guarantee not one real fiscal conservative is happy with this. If any repubs try to tout this as some sort of 'step in the right direction', I'll give 100% effort to remove them from office in 2012. We have to make some REAL changes NOW, I don't care if the senate and WH will shoot down everything - it's time to make a stand. But alas, our politicians are too busy emulating the Roman Empire (intentional or not, doesn't matter) to deal with the single biggest threat to our country. It's pathetic political pandering, period (alliteration intentional).

Who cares? We're talking about fighting over a bandaid while there's a gaping chest wound. Compromise is how we got to the point that it 'requires' almost $4T in tax revenues to run the government - the time for these kinds of pansy moves has passed. I mean, they addressed ~2% of the deficit for this year alone. Yay. In the first three months of this year, we're $462B in the red, and they shaved a whopping 8% of that off the remaining spending budget. Yah, great job. </sarcasm>

Rawk! Let us know what you go with!

I'm not sure what's more stupid: - that the Republicans would threaten to shut down the government over such a piss-ant amount of money ($38B), acting like they're actually accomplishing something, or, 2- caving when pushed. Just as expected, the current crop of repubs are same as the old boss.

This - our tax revenues - even this year - are higher than every other year in the history of this country before 2005. Out spending in the year 2000? $1.7T Spending today? $3.9T It's absurd to think we don't collect enough revenue - we're simply over spending! Cut spending NOW!

Do you have to reach the goal to get any of the cash?

Heck, I just don't sell guns.

And for the record, I'm not a birther. But I do think it odd he would spend so much money and energy to not show his long form birth certificate. I just think it's hilarious that over THIS you'd decide not vote for someone. Seems incredibly superficial to me, especially if (*IF*) the birthers turn out to be correct. If that happened, all of the sudden it IS a big time issue, isn't it?

Yah, because if it turned out Obama wasn't legal to be president, that wouldn't be a big deal at all. And there's ZERO reason to suspect that maybe he isn't. Nope, none at all.
