Pete, believe it, or not, some of those businesses can hold out longer than the rest of us can.....if there is a goal they feel is worth going after.

A few days ago, I had a business owner down in Lousiana, on another board tell me;

"It's not a matter of whether or not I can hire anyone right now. I'm simply not going to, until that damn socialist is gone from the Whitehouse!"

He also warned me that; "When we come down on you, we're coming down hard and fast. All of that shit the left has fought for will be gone."

A man came into the Ace Hardware the one day, as I was buying paint supplies. The clerk said, "Man, you're in here all of the time lately." His reply, "Another three an' a half years or so 'til that fuckin' Obama is gone, then I'll hire some help. But, not a got-damn minute sooner."----That was 2009.

How much you wanna bet the radio in his truck stays tuned to EIB?

Yeah, I'm crazy. Imagining things.

Dave

Go look at posts I made last year when everyone said I was crazy for implying exactly that sort of behaviour on the part of most businessmen, then come on back here and try and teach this old man to suck eggs. Coming up on 81 I really did have 81 years of experience, not just the same year 81 times, like some.

It's a vast right wing conspiracy?

Always has been. Are there no left wing conspiracies, Pete?

I heard that Obama secretly supports stewing babies.
