Guys I am a Christian, Catholic, maybe not the best one in the world, but I pray to God, not for me but for everyone around me. I believe in a lot of the same things you do. not all, maybe not as strong as you think about some things , but I am not a bible hating fool or anything like that. Its just when we lean on the bible to run the country I ask why? This country isn't all Christians, it isn't all republicans and it isn't all democrats. when I think of far right Christian Conservatives I ask why one group should dictate to another, not just right, but any group. The Christian Conservatives put Bush in office, thats who and what they wanted, well I think Bush is one of the most ungodly person I have ever seen. I think he cares about the rich and who can help him. He pushes programs and says how great they are then he doesn't fund them, signs laws and then goes back out of public view and does Signing Statement saying her doesn't have to follow the law. I don't think he tries to speak for all of us and I dont think any one religion should have more say in the government than another, thats why I think religion shouldn't play a major factor in governmental decisions The Christan Conservatives elected him in 2000 and then reelected him in 2004. I dont think Bush is a good Christian but if thats who Christians wanted why would we now in 2008 elect another candidate supported strongly by Christian Conservative. I hate how some things are in this country, I have a 1 & a 4 year old, believe me i am worried about the moral fabric of this country, I hate TV programing I wish we could go back to 3 stations like when I was a kid. I don't like how kids will kill kids over a pair of sneakers, I dont like a lot and I fear for my children as they grow, its the parents fault in many cases. Instead of pushing one view lets work on what we have in common, we as Americans are never going to agree, Hey I cant stand alot of things the far left pushes But you know Bush has hurt the Christan Conservative cause quite a bit, many even many right wingers dont trust or like him anymore, its just like why should we trust another right wing candidate We'll never all agree, but we better start finding common ground, because nothing good is coming out of Washington and thats all we got to run this country.

tell you the truth, the evangelicals I never really even heard about them that much until the past 12 years and I heard a lot more with Bush and being here in the south Now the dems religion isn't as involved when talking about politics, many are catholic and and from big cities and we just don't associate God & Politics on the same page. Are all dems godless no, we or they just keep it private. I guess we do believe or take it more literal about separation of Church & State I think why many dems dont vote republican at all in recent years is because ALL the religious right talk. I for one feel that if they had the chance they would do everything, moral issues by the bible they believe in. I don't and many others dont want the bible running this country. I'm not trying to be rude, just share with you how I and Im pretty sure many others think when it comes to the religious right Look at Reagan, yes he talked some about religion, but he really didn't shove it down our throats as it has been more in the past12-16 years The leftist do wield a lot of control, but many Dem moderates can pull candidates to the Dem center, where in my eyes and others, the Far right had taken over quite a bit of the republican party and all, most republican politicians fell right in line with the far right religious sector To the Republican, be strong but in public, dont shove religion down our throats. A lot of Dems voted for Reagan, he didn't scare us Its sort of like Bushes religious group, I don't know what they are called of born agains, but that group doesn't it believe (I'm pretty sure of this) Doesn't it believe that when it all comes to an end only their sect/group goes to heaven. People (not all) don't want a president that doesn't even believe that we can go to heaven. In a way out way its like hey God says only he and his kind can go to heaven why care about the others I'm not trying to sound rude like I said, but the far right has made it very uncomfortable for dems to vote republican. Not that many would now after Bush and his spending habits, Some would like a fiscally conservitive , but the republicans arent that anymore at all Obama isn't talking any thing worth while yet and I dont think he has experience to be prez, but what many call change, is really we just want Bush and many of his policies out, so Obama can give a good speech so many are looking his way, just for that much of a change Yo say he will get creamed he may not, you say Americans don't want liberal judges, but you know something at least half dont want far right judges either and the taxes, the dems really don't think Bushes tax cuts helped all that much and especially not now that we may be going into a recession or at least a rough time. Many blame the republicans for wages going down, for people barely making it while corporations are/were making a killing on the backs of hard working middle class and overseas labor. When you say Americans, remember that about 50% of us really dont share all the other sides views and many of us think the republicans in office dont care about us, the other American This is just my opinion and I know its all over the place, but I figured I'd share how I feel,. Now dont beat me up, its just trying to help you see how others see things

Pretty well said, especially the last line

Oh no, not another PWNA saga. Its some news thou. You going to run for the position? John I hope you comforted Hillary the other day when she cried. Tell the truth, what did you do, take her back to the hotel and make her smile

You finally switched to being a Republican. I was getting sick & bored of all your left wing rants God Bless you Jon you are going to heaven and no 21 virgins for you YAY:lgangel:

Some is fact how much I don't know. Hey maybe if we have a crazy a*s Muslim as president, maybe the other radical a holes will back off. Obama will start a program with CIA to fit suicide bombers and start blowing up the radicals. Maybe he can send a group of them to Saudi Arabia and kill all the oil sheiks and then we can go in and take over the oil...Sounds like a plan, Vote For Obama, we'll get free gas in 08 :lgmoneyey:club::bullistic

Around here a basic GL policy with 1m/2mill starts at about $800-$1000 I think. It goes up with employees as your payroll gets bigger. If you are going to work from Prop Managers, you will probably need Workers Comp also, most require it and that cost about $900 I think for basic You can call Joe Walters Insur, he covers a lot of PW companies use him

true I do say mexicans a lot, the few I personally know are mexican, but yes there is a mix of all countries You know I am sounding like a bit of a racist on some of my responses. so Im going to back out of this conversation. I really do feel for all people of this world in need and wish we could help everyone. Maybe some day

Let me tell you about a beautiful little girl around here. Her name is Ivory, very pretty little thing, she is my nieces best Friend at school. Ivory is the oldest of 4 children, Ivory is 7 yrs old. Her mother and father both worked and they had a trailer home. Well about 1 year ago her father died in an accident. The mother and children were barely making it, but mother worked a couple jobs and her parents are helping as much as they can. Well about 4 months ago, Ivory was playing outside and she got on a neighbors little go cart, there was adults around, well poor Ivory shouldn't have been driving that go cart, she drove the damn thing right into and partially under the trailer home and almost ripped her head off. It was horrible I hear. Ivory was near death and they transfered her to MUSC, its a great hospital. Ivory has tubes in her, she cant walk and several other things are messed up My sister in law has been organizing help for the family, she's been going to Charleston MUSC to stay with Ivory on weekends so the mother can get back up here to her other children. She has gotten them some help people donating, some not tons. enough to move the family into a little bigger apartment, we have donated , clothes, bed and many more people have tried to do what they can. My sister in law I give her credit for all she is trying to do. Well Ivory got some good news a few weeks ago, there was a rehab hospital that said they could get her walking again and help her out, everybody was happy for her & her family. About a week after the good news came the bad news. The hospital cant take her because they don't have the proper/very little medical coverage. I'm not sure of the specifics, but they aren't taking her and it would of helped this little girl definitely. THIS IS DISGUSTING. So Ivory was still sitting in the hospital and the hospital started traing the mother how to take care of Ivory AT HOME, because no where would or could take her. They say if she gets the therapy she will recover. UNREAL!! So now the girl still sits in the hospital as of last week. WHY? because there isn't money or a program that can help this little girl. Some place like the shiners or a group like that are now suppose to be helping her. Its some kind of rehab place in PA, that what I heard about a couple weeks ago, but she's still in MUSC Here is someone, yes an American that needs help and all I have to say is if we weren't spending trillions on the immigration problem, maybe Ivory could have already been getting the therapy she needs Sorry for the long story, but we cant even help our own and I know we/ many want to help all people no matter what part of the world they are from, but we just cant

Let them give birth to them in Mexico.....Did I say that? Why dont they revolt and make Mexico better? hell they are getting tons of our factories and other businesses down there, let them stand up and better their lives, better their wages, better their standard of living, BETTER THEIR COUNTRY!! we dont have enough money, programs to help Americans in trouble or in poverty, the schools are screwed up, people losing jobs left & right etc etc etc, when are we going to take care of our own before we worry about letting millions of illegals in, which will lead to millions more coming in this way. When is enough enough? We have 47 million with out health care, I know people who cant afford medicines or puts a major strain on their budget, who are barely making it, elderly & younger who worked hard all their lives, forget about the real poor, these are our grandparents, neighbors family & freinds that are hurting. The billions $ Trillions of dollars that we spend on illegals, whether its trying to stop them from coming in, or giving them health care or putting them in prison whatever I would like to help all the mexicans, I really would, but not at the expense of hurting us or costing us trillions, that we as a country do not have

90% of the time I get paid in 2-4 weeks from residential property managers. But some are just a little slower at getting the check, never had a problem getting the money. Two weeks, I wouldnt rely on that to pay subs at 1st

Dream on Go Pats:wave::wave:

I do hate seeing all the companies and workers in construction that arent working and with no end in sight. There were several good companies that just arent going to find any good work, its drying up for sure

YUP !!!

Im done, I can see both sides of the arguement, I just think we are losing to much

We send all our factories a lot of tech work and God knows what else out of USA Right, so we are losing 100's of thousands of jobs. Now the trades, construction, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, pressure washers , painters etc etc, blue collar jobs usually could make a good living. We lost all these fatorty etc jobs, now we are losing our Trades jobs to cheaper labor, but not only cheaper ther are millions of cheap labor bringing down wages for Americans So now we are losing everywhere. We cant absorb, millions more. The Gov tells us 12-14 million from mexico, thats bull, I bet its WAY OVER 20 million and counting. We arent going to have jobs for us. Painting industry is getting destroyed, how long before the pressure washing industry gets destroyed This country was built on immigrants backs, but we cant do it any more, we have lost to mush to mexico & overseas. We are a country that dosent build much any more and now we are a service country that is losing jobs to cheap labor I dont know how to say it, we just cant keep absorbing milions & millions of people, we let them all in after being illegals, let them in, then there will be millions more, when does it stop, when its to late and we have no jobs I know illegals right now that are subbing work ($10,000 - $100,000+Jobs)and making good money and they arent paying what I have to pay, they arent paying taxes nothing Wake up America, we are giving away the farm. We cant help everybody, we need limits

Its usually not a problem at all> I have 2, 8gpm machines on different trailer. I dont haul ANY water at all, well maybe 50-75 gallons. I get to the job, hook up water to house or biz 1st and start the rest of the setting up, I have a 275 gallon tank on one and another 325 gallon tank. Set everything up and start washing, very very very rarely have to stop for water to fill tank If you dont have water supply on a job and you have to keep refilling, yes I will use a lesser GPM machine

Ron if we just let everyone in, our country will be to stretched to the limits. Theres reasons there was amounts of people we let in I would figure half of Mexico would like to come here if we let them. We cant take all those people in, we just cant. We are stressed to the limit now This country was made by immigrants, but that was a different time We have legal women & children that are suffering right now. We can not just take care of the world or let the world here and take care of everyone. There will always be suffering, I rather take care of our country and sadly let other countries suffer before our own. Its just a sad truth

You are right commercial or what I like condo type stuff is tough on a 1 man operation

If labor rates go up, maybe more people will have money to drive the economy and hire someone to pressure wash their houses Since the feds arent willing to do anything, I say good luck to AZ. Many local & state govs are stressed to breaking point, due to illegals. Ive seen pay checks to illegals, many pay no or VERY little taxes, when legal folks are paying them all

Wishing all a great 2008. Thanks Beth & Rod and everyone else for all the fun and learning Hope 2008 is even better than 2007 for EVERYONE Jeff

As long as you have enough for beer every day, you are doing good. Kidding just had to say it

Call Bob of Pressure Tek, he sells Pressure pro machines, you can get a 5.5gpm machine or an 8gpm for not much $$$ compared to other machines One of my trailers has 2 - 5.5gpm machines and one water line intake and it feeds a 250 gallon supply tank and 99.9999% of the time we never run out of water, thats two machines running My other trailers have a 5.5 & an 8 gpm machine each and we keep two water lines going to it, one isnt enough

Thats funny man. At least its funny now to you. YUP, its tire shine, happens all the time. I wouldnt worry about it, the stuff as far as I know doesnt come off. Some people have said they would like to seal their whole driveway with the stuff

You really should not have to transport water often. You have the tank as a buffer, most areas have 5+ gpm coming out of hose bib of homes & biz, some dont, but you roll up start filling tank and set up and you are ready to go Please Please research this, if you can only afford 4gpm, fine it will do the work. BUT 5.5gpm I have no problem keeping it supplied with water and when Im done I roll down the road with very little water in the tank I have 8 gpm machines also, 5.5 is great on house washing. If a house takes 2 hours to clean with a 4gpm, you will knock off a lot of time with 5.5gpm Save at least an 1/2 hr or MORE per house. Add it up 100 house save 1/2 hr thats 50 hours saved you could do another 25-30 homes with the time saved. think of it as 50 hours saved at an average rate of $100 an hour, thats $5K, pays for that machine in no time Dont worry about carrying a lot of water, you will not need to in 99% of jobs
