I'd say Clarksdale, Ms. would have an issue with that.

Not really Clarksdale as it is the entire Mississippi Delta region. memphis gets credit because it was the only big city around and WC Handy moved up there.

wow...you just insulted a dead man loved by an entire city for healing Memphis during the chaotic times following the death of Dr. King

way to rep the GOP

I just noticed that you dinged my rep for insulting some guy I never heard of. First you libs go nuts over gay people's rights but when I insinuate a person is gay you call it an insult. Why do you hate gays? More importantly, why do you a hate black gay who, as you put it, was loved by an entire city?

Apparently he failed.

Memphis has many, many inherent advantages, yet it still manages to be a blight-stricken ghetto. Chalk that up to the left, snatching poverty and misery from the jaws of success.

I work with a guy who did work in Memphis for a while and he complians about that place every day. Not just sometimes, EVERY DAY. He said it's a shithole and the people who manage not to live in the shithole are stuck up snobs.

then i'm glad he got the **** out...last thing we need are more complainers...this board is FULL of em.

You mean like complaining about a joke?

shitting on a dead mans grave isn't a joke...but hate mongering is what I expect from the right wingers...thanks for proving my point!

They would have taken the high ground and looked very "bipartisan" in so doing, and would have left Obama and his henchmen Reid and Pelosi scrambling for cover. Republicans adopt an bipartisan deficit reduction concept, and Harry Reid bit***s because it cuts off funding for the Nevada Cowboy Festival? That's not a bad sound byte to be running on.

We're at about 18.5% of GDP for taxes, and 26.5% of GDP for spending. Set a target of 20.5% for both. That means 3:1 on spending cuts to tax increases. Get the tax increases by restructuring the current system, lowering rates and broadening the base, including a consumption tax. That's how Europe manages to take twice as much out of their economy in taxes without destroying the private sector. If we're only taking half as much, and doing it the same way they are, we start to win a lot of competitiveness battles. And the prizes for winning those battles are, very simply, jobs and growth. You could probably get most of the way there on spending cuts by simply reviewing every federal program and axing the ones that are not making any appreciable progress toward their stated goals.

This thread has gone to hell. Too bad, cause you made alot of good points. Want to be my VP.

He didn't know who the guy was. Neither did I. Nor could either of us know he's dead. Or beloved. Anything else you want too whine about? Geez, pull your panties out of your @ss.

yes...he hurls insults at things he doesn't know or understand...yet another trait of the right.

The thread got out of hand but talking about Larry Finch like that to a Memphian would be like someone slaughtering and serving up Bevo here in Austin.

Well, it's not like he went to the Memphis board and stated something "Offensive". This is the Spin Rm. Eventually your balls are going to drop, Memphis.

so it's OK to defame a dead Memphis sports hero because you don't like my politics and this a political board? I believe that says more about you than me.

oh, and why the interest in my balls? you must be one of those damn dirty gays!!! oh nooooooz! run for the hills!

Like I said Eventually.

Yeah, like that picture is so imformative. I'll post a pic of my city councilman and let you figure out who the hell he is. He's a great man, beloved by an entire city and I'm assuming you know him just as you assumed I would know who your guy is.

BTW, welcome to the Spin Room. You're going to love it here.

So now all gays are pedophiles? Keep digging that hole deeper, a coupla guys on this board are going to be offended by that. And why did I bring race into it? Because for once I wanted to play the race card on a liberal before he played it on me. Sucks, doesn't it?

There's a lot of nuance and innuendo at play on this board that i don't think you're used to yet.
