  1. Isn't it amazing what the Leftists believe is righteous or reality? After all, if what they want and what they do were done in any context other than politics, THEY'D ALL BE IN JAIL!

    Straightened out the financial mess left behind from Clinton (eg, market collapse) with dignity, not blaming the other guy, handled 9/11 extremely well, fought two successful wars on our behalf that made our enemies fear us and our friends love us, although I disagreed with him on that on principle.

    In parallel, he created gazillions of jobs and led the economy to properity until the dems took over the Congress in 2006 and burried us by pushing mortgages to millions who couldn't afford them which was the first nail in the coffin... the second being Wall Street's greed, etc...

    The liberal media killed W but his accomplishments are solid.

    This is a real paradigm shift for me, a game changer, it should allow me to spend more time with my family.

    We need more outside the box thinkers. Going forward, I plan to port (seemlessly integrate) some of these ideas to my customer acquisition strategies. If we work it 24/7 on the net we should capture more of the low hanging fruit. It should be a win win for my employees as these phrases are scalable and should allow my teams to focus on their core competency, avoid dropping the ball and take it to the next level.

    --
    that was fun - I think I am ready to drink my own kool aid and hit the ground running.

    OK Edith,

    I can see the open invitation here for me to call you an imbecile, but, never mind, I have other things to do...

  8. It's mission critical for our organization to capture more wallet-share from our valued customers. No doubt, a best in breed go-getter like yourself would bring much to the table. Let me bottom line it for you. We need to spend some face time together and see if you're the change agent that can enhance our core compentencies. Let's drill down, see if we can get all our ducks in a row, and make this happen.

  10. When you go into a retail shop, for anything, and the salesperson tells you, "this is our best seller" -- do you give a f***? Same with voters. I want to know which voters. Like Dennis Miller said, "I don't want to go on any form of mass transit where the general public have control of the brakes"
