I'm calling set up on this one. Now, Palin will step down and the real VP, who's been vetted and the real choice this whole time, will be announced. Pretty slick move by the GOP.

Wow, are you guys still going at it?
Obama is proposing what amounts to basically an expansion of the existing gov't employee health care plan to the poor. The only mandatory change will be that children will be required to be covered...
OK, in regards to the education thing. I highly doubt any rich philanthroper was about to help me finance my education. If the gov't doesn't do it, no one will. It's a good investment. I paid back...
Honestly, I would have to say I improved my lot in spite of the government trying to hold me back. There was a point where I was working 40 hour weeks and taking 9 credit hours. We were on welfare...
Now this is the type of post we can have a discussion on. This is the first post where I see you admitting that this is a very complicated issue, and a lot of what we're going on is opinion. To me,...
Probably not. Here's another yes, but answer for you, Bro. It's been shown statistically that wealthy tend to vote Republican and poor people tend to vote Democratic. That's not always true, but it's...
OK, Banks by law have to keep a certain amount of cash on hand to cover withdrawals from checking and savings. These are known as reserves. Generally, banks want to keep theri reserves as low as...
OK, let me try to 'splain myself again. To do this, I need to give you a "Yes, but" answer.
Yes, lowering taxes has the effect of creating demand which will help stimulate GDP growth, but that's...
Oh, and before you start claiming I'm saying Fiscal policy is worthless, it's not. Cutting taxes creates more income which creates more demand on the part of the consumer. This can increase...
Oh My! You are either lying between your teeth, or need to take a basic economics class. Either way, what you said is dead wrong. There are Soo many factors that go into what you said, I don't even...
Governments can become insolvent, it just takes a lot longer and is a lot more complicated, but governments have gone broke before. No, it's not exactly the same thing as a corporation going under as...
If you couldn't pay your bills, and I told you to quit your job and take one that pays less, you'd say I was off my rocker. Yet we're running a record deficit, and we should cut taxes?
Spending...
Hmmm, looks like Fu-Pow changed his screen name :eek:
I have to agree on that one. While it's true that left wing nut jobs are nutty for a different reason than right wing nut jobs, they're still both nut jobs.
The Lefty $hit is just as bad as the righty $hit. If you can show me this info from a reputable source, I'll dig into it and see if I can defend it. Heck, I may even come around to your point of...
It's now known as the Bulletin, NOT the Philadelphia Bulletin which went out of print in the 1980's. It's a right wing political publication. If you're gonna sling mud, please don't try to cover...
They may. The problem here is that there wll always be a limited number of 'top schools' simply by definition. This still leaves us with the problem that some kids are going to get a vastly superior...
Oops! This is the article I meant to link.

I'm leaving the other one in the first post, because I...
I've got a novel idea, partially inspired by MK's post.
Check out the link below. When you get there, don't be scurred, what you're looking at there are known as 'facts'. It's kinda like making...
You make a much better point here, and I can agree with that logic.
Obama did do a lot for the communities. I was there, I saw it. And you're right, it isn't really attributable to luck. It's more attributable to somebody caring enough about you to tell you that you...
We do, and I did. Not many are as lucky as I was.
Yeah, I'm sick of my tax dollars supporting those darn heterosexuals. Hey! Mebbe I am a conservative!
Gian, I think it depends on a lot more than just, the pastor had this messed up view. Lemme us an example. When I was a kid, we had this priest everyone adored. Only problem was, once every two...
