Disappointed in FairTaxers response

JeffC's picture

Did anyone else besides me notice that the new bloggers the FairTaxers brought in like dculling, ih2005, pianoguy, gilan, Ashford Schwall, and even the Co-chairman of the Fair Tax Coalition Leadership Gene Key and Don Williamson all seem to have vanished mysteriously instead of answering my questions?

FairTax Questions

I guess the Citizen blog was too tough for them. Probably when they posted their stuff elsewhere (and they have posted the same stuff with the same references all over numerous publications), nobody troubled themselves to actually read any of the publications to which they were referring to see if any of it made sense.

Since Huckabee seems to be imploding, having not won South Carolina, I guess the FairTax has had its moment in the sun. Certainly no one else will pick it up nationally.

So I guess the FairTaxers will never have to answer my questions. Alas, All that work for nothing.

But if anybody knows where they all ran off to, tell them we are still waiting for them over here on the Citizen’s blog.

Which band is your child in?

Hope you have fun at Cheersport! I might run into you as I might be working there also if they need extra help.

SCHS he's in the 9th grade plays tuba. He's in Marching Band also- they don't call it a tuba it's a - well you know what- honestly I can't spell it- go ahead, laugh- I like humor.Smiling

That is where we are going to Cheersport. We will be there both days from 9-4:30.

Where will you be so I can look for you.

We will probably wear our SCHS Band shirts- mostly blue
they say_________ Mom and his Dad's says_________ Dad SCHS Band.

Hope to see you there.Smiling Thanks for asking. I am a nice person believe it or not and so is my overly handsome husband.Smiling

It's a sousaphone.

I think only the SCHS band has worked Cheersport in the past (Not sure if they're changing it this year). Get ready for a lot of walking in order to get to the place where you'll tabulate scores.

I am laughing so hard at myself right now, if you ever meet my Son do not tell him I did not know how to spell it- he will never let me live it down.

He played baritone- hope I spelled that correct for 4 years and sousaphone 8th and 9th grade. He did get to start band in the 4th grade- I am not sure about here- where we lived the school district started in the 4th grade and he chose baritone.

The last 3 years he went to a private Christian School played baritone 2 years there and changed the last year to tuba- but when you march it's a sousaphone. I just know he says it is heavy- since in middle school didn't march, thank God another sousaphone player helped him out how to hold it, by the end of the year they were trying to do tricks with it,, one time they almost fell upside down- so funny.

Thanks for telling me lots of walking-I will remind my husband- it will be fun.

Now my son is jamming on his 3rd guitar- then he gets my keyboard- hey he came from both parents that love music.

Mr. Gunter and Mr. Kelly are doing a great job. Did you know them?
We are looking for the best to come in the coming years.

Sousa's and the drumline have the heaviest instruments to carry, yet they complain less than the other members of the band.

I've gotten to know Gunter and Kelly (I'm going to refrain from posting my opinion on here (whether good or bad) as I've already stated it on an earlier post).

I must say, these next few years are going to make or break the band as Gunter and Kelly mold the band to their standards.

You are correct about the drum line and the Sousa's not complaining, alot of the time I stayed with the drumline when we would go on competitions and games and they would do anything I would ask and never complained honestly. I did want to learn how to play the quad drums- I don't think I could do it- I thought it was so cool,one guy a freshman did act like it was nothing to play it, could do it in his sleep.

Thank God the football team is moving up this year, not as far to drive, sometimes we would drive almost 3 hours for a games in hooterville. The football team has to be molded also.

You are right the band has to be molded- I believe in these guys- and I will give them my full support- I admire them both deeply- I guess I have got to know them on these 3 hour game trips all the time. They both really have a heart of gold.

Thanks for your support- I do understand.

I know you have been in cyber space also- are you going to Cheersport.

I told Hutch the good thing is we get paid for it.Smiling

I know your son plays the flute but what grade is he in and do you have others in the band?

We're not going as my oldest son and I have "retired" (senior) from the marching band scene. My other son plays the violin and the last time I checked they don't have marching violins. Smiling
