[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] Unfortunately, Mike, we can not win arguments right now because it is a case of facts against feelings. When feelings prevail in a discussion, the facts will lose almost every time. I think it's going to take a little more time for the "Messiah" feelings to wear off. Once that happens, then we can present the facts again. 52% of the voters have strong feelings about the prez, mainly because "he's not Bush". Once they realize that he is a very inexperienced, arrogant, socialist-leaning, America-hating man, then reason might prevail. In the meantime, attend and support tea parties and become more vocal on issues so that we can remain the best country in the world, and so that we can maintain our freedoms that so many people take for granted. I apologize to others if you are currently an Obama supporter, but this president is quickly turning us down a road that is simply not acceptable. As far as Obama's stimulus package and Amtrak, I noticed on TrainWeb's home page that there is a link to an article to the local Kirksville (MO) newspaper that says La Plata will be receiving $90,000 in stimulus money in order to raise the platform at the Amtrak station 8 inches to be ADA compliant. While I think it's great that the La Plata Depot is getting this work done, I don't know how this fits in with the stimulus package other than it's just more pork and earmarks. [/QB][/QUOTE]
