[Lite N Lively]

OK, let me get this straight...some of you Teapublicans claim to Love Israel and the Jewish People, but at the same time you HATE George Soros, A JEW! Hmmmm....

Total BS....

I was thinking more along the line of a lie detector test to see if I'm me or not?

I'm always amazed that EVERY conservative that posts on Topix is a business owner, although it is statistically impossible.

The Teapublicans haven't learned a thing. It's almost like they are determined to destroy their own Party!

Some would LOVE to pay less if they could.

Yes, that's just one example of the "crippling regulations" that the 100 million + conservative "business owners" whine about holding them back. As much as they bitch about China, they sure seem covetous of sweatshop labor rates. How very American of them.

I don't think Hostess(the name) is down and out yet. Other buyers have expressed interest. The management of Hostess have blamed the Unions........but who signed the Union contract? Who gave upper management a 80% raise, who gave the C.E.O. of Hostess a 300% raise? Why has Hostess not marketed their pruduct to keep up with the time's? Bankruptcy is the best way to go for Hostess, since they will not have to pay out any pensions, but you and I the taxpayer will have to make good on most of these pensions with our tax dollars.
Yeah so let's blame the evil Union's and their members(Good old Red Blooded Americans) who spend their money here in America.

.....and OT, if they ever do pay these low rates to their employees, who will have enough money to by their product.
Also your other point about so many Consevative business owners, your right, it's impossible.
