Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Gregg out. Let me get this straight....the bad guys drop out because of problems, and the good guys drop out because of the bad guys still there.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

i just read this on the msn home page. basically cited "irreconcilable differences" with the socialist son of a bitch that would be his boss. i wish he would have taken the job then stood up to him in public. at least it would have created a media storm worth paying attention to. hell, now obama will just go get him a chavez to fill the position.

As soon as a Republican entered commerce........bam, they pull the census from that department. Something really fishy is going on and Gregg seen the writing on the wall. I dont blame the guy, you cant do the job if you dont belive in what you are doing.

I don't blame him for leaving, but he could have done a lot of good if he stayed.

They brought him in and then took away the job.....the census. What was he really doing except giving up a Republican Senate seat?

all he could have done was make a lot of money writing a book detailing the corruption in the administration. Obama and his boys are running the show....Gregg was a token R

He probably made the right decision. I couldn't stand to work for an empty suit like The Messiah.
