It matters, but what appears is that you put it into the context of Democrat=quick ratification and Republican=drawn out process. That is just not true. Your assessment or opinion was purely based on emotion, and not fact. And you still didn't answer my last question, so back to you haas.

This coming from those who actually reviewed his resume and helped with his interview prep...
Tons of community service is great and all for a single guy. How about raising a family? How's that for volunteering? Let me burn my 12-13 days off volunteering instead of being a dad. Let me spend my kids college fund getting a useless seaplane rating. Give me a break. How about thousands of hours of 121 which is actually the job at delta, correct me if I'm wrong. How about managing those thousands of hours without bending anything, hurting anyone, and being on less than a hadful of no fly lists. Probably two handfuls for me

Not in terms of quick ratification versus drawn out process, but moreso federal NMB Presidential appointees who can make the difference for labor. Clinton stopped AA because it carried 20% of the domestic travelers and over a holiday weekend. A Republican candidate would have done the same. Besides, this is a one off thing. For the most part, you can't deny the Dem party is more labor friendly than the Repub party.

Ok. And then they turn around and take those labor friendly policies and take it back in the form of higher taxes across the board. Congrats, it's a circle jerk ideology.

No... You take your child with you, demonstrate to him or her, lead by example, teach and all over the world. Leave the comfort of your community.

And yes, It's that easy and incredible times will be had by all, both you and those you serve. Don't use the cop out 'I'm a dad/mom' line. We have enough kids/adults in this world who have no idea just how tough others in this world really have it. Real concerns like water/food/shelter/medicine, not how big is my paycheck or look at poor me driving a kia instead of a benz. Don't be one of those who gets their experience from what you watch on CNN.

Cheers
