Re: Schlitterbahn Waterpark and Resort

ESPNZone is wildly overrated.  HOWEVER, it would be great adjacent to the Sprint Center.

Re: OFFICIAL: The Broadway KC condos

Nope, it will slow it down.  You guys don't understand the urban condo market yet.  We need several of these projects to get going so they can feed off one anther and create a market that simply does not exist in KC at this time. If you want to buy a 350k condo, you need a 350k condo market of choi...

Re: Ron Paul a Presidential Freight Train

do you think republicans exemplify courage and character?  why or why not? Certainly not.  Criticizing a slimeball Democrat/group of Democrats shouldn't trigger that sort of response but it always does since too many people think Republican or Democrat.  I get asccused of being a Democrat as often ...

Re: Ron Paul a Presidential Freight Train

How are the Dems bowing to the extremes? Most glaringly, the "leaders" Pelosi and Reid conference call MoveOn every week and the Presidential candidates have been blackmailed into staying away from Fox News at the risk of losing donors and having a full-scale attack opened on them. Have w...

Re: Ron Paul a Presidential Freight Train

I think there is a swell of libertarianism in this country, which is good and bad, but I think 60% is awfully high. There's a reason Ron Paul still has very little support. My point in throwing out a number of 60% was to suggest that if people honestly and anonymously answered their beliefs to majo...

Re: Ron Paul a Presidential Freight Train

Their is a simplicity in a Libertarian or a Libertarian Conservative, as sometimes called, that used to be prevalent and dominant in the Republican Party.  The Dem's have gone way too left and the Rep's have gone too far right.  If there was a poll that fairly asked peoples' positions on civil liber...
