TracyCoxx - Tgirl Lovers may not be high on anyone's list of issues, but issues that impact on, you know, actual living-as-female Transwomen are being discussed. The Patriot Act routinely flags TGs who have not had SRS via Social Security during new hire processing. A company will get a "gender no match" letter with the recommendation that the employee not be hired for fear of a security risk. Since most employeers don't have non-discrimination policies that include gender identity or expression, this means we can get fired/ not hired. It also means that gals who are stealth get outed even if they keep their job. McCain supports the Patriot Act without change to exempt gender matching (since, you know there are 100's of Arab drag queens with bombs pouring into the country - oh wait no there isn't)

McCain, supported Arizona's anti-gay marriage ammendment. Guess who that would affect?

So yeah, McCain is a fiscal Conservative, not helpful for me to get a job really. I suppose the up side of McCain in office and the Patriot act, support against marriage equality, and support for the scary Real ID program would mean more and more "Shemales" in the sex industry.... after all prostitution is the one career nobody asks about your past.

Well lets see... back in november, a pound equaled $2.11. Now it's worth $1.76. I think your economy has bigger problems.

Or even worse... the pound to the Euro. Why do you continuously ignore all the faults of your own country while slamming the US every chance you get?

I'm under no illusion that Blair n Brown fucked the economy, I didn't vote for them, I'm not defending them. The topic is on US politics, that's why I'm talking about it. You are the one tooting the economic horn for the republicans, so is there any reason why someone shouldn't point out the reality of the current republican government.

I'm just wondering why someone from the UK is suddenly an expert on the US economy. The depth of your understanding of the US economy seems to be that unpopular Bush is pres (for what I have observed to be largely misunderstood reasons by many people on the internet), and therefore your perceived problems (as seen from the UK) of the US economy must be his fault. That shows a very shallow understand of economics. The economy is affected by a vast array of things. And usually it takes a while for the cause to create an effect in the economy. i.e. The prosperous economy during the Clinton years were because of Bush Sr's policies as well as the internet boom that Ogryn1313 referred to. Clinton didn't just say "hey let's have a technology boom". Those technologies were in development for years and just happened to come to fruition during Clinton's term. If there were economic problems during Bush's first term, for one thing he inherited the results of Clinton's policies, and for another there was 9/11 and we had some butt kicking to do. Yes that was a drain on the economy, but it was a necessary one. No president worth anything at all would let that pass. If you had bothered to look at unemployment rates during Bush's term you'd see that they have been steadily declining since the first half of his 1st term.

I wouldn't expect many people from the UK to know much about the US economy in detail but you seem to have a lot to say about it without showing any real understanding of it.

TRACY & ANNA:

This is as close to a cat fight as I've seen on these boards!!

I'm just pulling your legs, or is that something else I'm squeezing?
