Retire rich: A lot of my GA and FL neighbors left some of those higher rated states for the same reason, the cost of living was too much, like snow plows and property taxes. To live with a small fortune there you needed to retire with a big fortune.
Trump is only up by 7 points in Texas……….. I can only say I told you so so many times.
It is very unlikely if not impossible that Hillary wins Texas, but now we as a party have to spend money in places like Texas and Georgia. Instead of spending that money in Florida, Ohio and Virginia.
I just wish the train wreck that is November 8th will hurry up and get here.
I might add…money that Trump doesnt have because he dont need no fundraising…He has RALLIES!
Any comments from the progressives on this one? Or will the messenger just be shot?

News folks have been fired for less and the FBI needs to check this guy out. Or maybe Trump needs a really good VP. If Fox would have said that it would be a terroristic threat.
To the extent that it might be an accurate report, it is an unacceptable comment. Not sure what it has to do with progressives though.
I dont comment on Brietbart stories as they are fiction for the most part, but I would argue a lot more republicans would be thinking that than progressives. Just saying…
Breitbart, the same outfit that reportedly posted the headline “Exclusive – Donald Trump plans to continue GOP legacy of leading on Women’s, Civil Rights Against Racist, Sexist Democrats” after a Trump interview a week or two ago?
Perhaps he’s had too much exposure to the twitter idiot-in-chief, and thought he likewise could twitter idiocy without being held to account.
You guys are really just too predicable. No real comment on a lib producer’s commenting favorably on the possibility of someone harming Trump. No, just a comment on the source of the story. Good job!
If Rubio wants to win reelection as senator he needs to tell Florida voters he won’t run for president in 2020.
Quick question: Are any of the GAPol posters concealed carry folks? If so, how often do you carry? As you might expect, I am but I don’t carry often at all.
I had a somewhat dangerous job for a while and I had a carry permit then, but once that passed I stopped carrying.
Kind of funny story: I was at home cleaning my gun one night and heard a noise outside. Looked out the window and saw 4 teenagers ransacking my car. I ran out there in my socks and chased them down the street. Afterwards I realized it was stupid of me to chase 4 thugs, and also was lucky my gun was in pieces or I probably would have grabbed it too. That night could have ended very badly but I got lucky. But you don’t often get second chances when you fire a gun in the heat of the moment.
Interesting story, B. Glad you weren’t hurt.
SCOTUS rules warrantless blood tests incidental to DUI arrests are unconstitutional.
Split court upholds appelate court’s injunction against Obama’s immigration orders.
U of Texas’ “race-conscious” admissions program challenged by Fisher is(was) lawful under Equal Protection.
Three of the cases decided today.
I would provide links, but I’d be “in moderation” for hours. 😉
SCOTUS immigration ruling ends DAPA in the fifth circuit but the effect on DACA is unclear. The ruling is a win for those opposed to Obama’s immigration policies.
I am not sure a full bench SCOTUS would be willing to rehear the case.
Question- does the Chief Justice have anything to say about what gets heard?
A split court does not uphold anything. It lets stand a lower court ruling but any other circuit could easily come to the opposite ruling. Until one side has a SCOTUS majority, there is no ruling.
Another Baltimore officer found not guilty in the Freddie Grey case. And this case was supposed to be the prosecution’s strongest case.

I find it odd that there is nothing about Lyin’ Ryans excellent plan to throw 20 million people off their insurance. I read all 37 pages and had one thought. Ryan should be grateful that Trump diverted most of the press away from his HORRID proposal …magic asterisks and all (he is awfully fond of those when he cant make his numbers work).
An actual plan would have included the amount of the individual healthcare insurance tax credit, the total cost of tax credits, and how many people would use the tax credit. It took numbers guy Ryan six years to get to this point, so we shouldn’t expect numbers to be released until 2019, or not at all if Speaker Ryan is a Trump casualty.
Hey Icarus, when did Georgia Pol take a left turn? I must have missed something. When I drop by these days, it seems there’s a drought on the used-to-be conservative and moderate posts. It’s sort of sad to not have our old spirited discussions from different viewpoints.
I try, Sally, I try…Where’s Harry when I need him?
You do I fantastic job too. But if you start wishing for Harry to return, I’m going to have to rethink that statement.
Sincerely
Card carrying member of the middle (with a slight lean to the left).
You know, I’ve said it before, “Where is Harry?” I liked him and he fought gamely with many here. I obviously don’t know why he left, but he added a flavor to the discussion. If somebody knows who he actually is, email him and tell him to get his self back here.
I think he was shunned by the webmasters after repeated warnings to change his flogging post to one not bloodied.
Brexit: Guess Obamas threat to a sovereign nation backlashed, betcha after a “we still love you statement” he will not rush forth work on a trade agreement.
Well if that’s the case let the webmasters forgive him. He wasn’t THAT bad with insults and the like.
And we better not be too miffed at Britain. They and Canada are about our only real friends left.
Thanks NW, Ellyn, and Salty — let’s put out an all points bulletin for Harry. Come back, good buddy!
As for Brexit, the people rose up and said “Too much, too fast, not assimilating.” The same worry has made its way across the Atlantic and is what makes people vote for Trump.
