And you're saying that the Huffingtonpost is unbiased? They only present one point of view on that website and you know it. My point is, there's opposing research on many of these issues. You cherry pick whatever research agrees with your point of view and post it as if it's the final word...

You forgot to mention studies that reached a very different conclusion -- including the one below posted on the ca.gov website. I'm sure you were making every attempt to fairly present both sides of the issue and your failure to post the opposing research was simply an innocent oversight...

Solyndra was neither a good bet nor a bad bet -- it was a corrupt bet. I don't expect government to always be right, but I do expect them to be honest. Solyndra was outright theft of taxpayer dollars not because it failed, but because Solyndra's financing was obtained as an election payoff...

There are somewhere between 12-20 million illegals in the country, depending on whose numbers you look at. Deportations last year were about 400k. About 25k people illegally enter the country every month, so net deportations are less than 100k per year. Pretty close to zero compared to the size...

The problem with Solyndra was the corrupt manner in which it received taxpayer financing. ======== Obama Campaign Backers and Bundlers Rewarded With Green Grants and Loans. … In the government-backed-loan program, for example, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted as...

All private equity firms have failures. It's the nature of the business because many of these companies are in trouble when they're purchased. My point was, and is, if you only look at someone's failures you can make a case against anyone. By any measure, Romney had twice as many successes...

A trail of broken companies? Bain invested in more than 250 companies. According to your statistics, 6 went bankrupt. Doing the math, 2.4% of the companies went bankrupt and 97.6% did not go bankrupt. So you're saying that 6 failures out of 250 investments is a "trail of broken...

You've simply dismissed it without argument. First, I agree that tarfifs are a two-way street. But we can increase tariffs to the point that they're equivalent to what other countries charge us. That won't start a "trade war" despite the chicken-little hysteria that starts every time someone...

I'm sure the poeple who lost their jobs feel that way, too. In the end, it's all the same. It's cutting overhead (people) to benefit the investors. Doesn't matter what you call it.

Last year, Warren Buffet invested $5B in Bank of America. Bank of America agreed to cut their overhead as a condition of the investment. Bank of America is in the process of laying off 40,000 people. Do you hold Warren Buffet personally responsible for their job losses?

Why do you say "no government"? About 40% of federal revenues come from income taxes. If we cut defense and other wasteful spending and increased tariffs and excise taxes, then income taxes wouldn't be necessary.

If this happened last year, or even ten years ago, it might affect some people's perceptions of Romney. The fact is, it happened forty-five years ago. In the last four decades, Romney has worked with thousands, literally thousands, of people in private business, running the Olympics and as...

Here we go again. Germany runs roughshod over Europe with France as her accomplice. Who's the target? Great Britain, of course. Sound familiar?

California is run entirely by democrats. Californians pay the 6th highest taxes per capita in the nation. Businesses pay the 4th highest taxes on a per employee basis. (Please don't give me grief about prop 13. Even with prop 13 Californian's pay higher per capita taxes than 44 other...

California has become a bad movie, just like the ones Hollywood makes. Businesses (and people) are stampeding toward the exits...

I moved to Orange County in 1991. Three years later they declared bankruptcy. Looks like we're headed back there again. This time we won't be alone. Almost every major city and county in California is teetering on the brink.

Don't count on it. Obama is one of the most secretive Presidents in history. ========================= http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/31/opinion/la-ed-secrets-20111031 Los Angeles Times Editorial (10/31/2011): Obama's secrets One of the most disappointing attributes of the...

It happened over 40 years ago. It's not relevant to me. If you can provide evidence of recent incidents I would reconsider my opinion.

What's the big deal here? My wife is Australian. She can have both US and Australian citizenship and, as her husband, so can I. That's the law. It should be applied equally to everyone. Why should it apply less to Bachman than anyone else?
