****Re: Geek/Tech/Entrepreneur Stuff to do in PHX

[keith smith]

And I said Bush spent more than all the previous presidents combined.  I do not support his actions either.

It sounds like you have bought into what the liberal left has been telling us for some time.  Obama is just using our tax dollars to buy favors.

Visit http://www.wnd.com/ and listen to some conservative talk radio like Mark Leven, who is on the NY best sellers list for "Liberty and Tyranny".

Listen to an opposing opinion.  I get bombarded with by the liberal left's content all the time so i am aware of the Obama agenda

Like I said earlier, I am putting a website online that will contain the facts.  At that time I will provide a link.  I hope you will read the content on my site.
