    Hillary Clinton IS the VP!

    McCain will win with a comfortable margin if not a landslide. Hilary will not be Obama's VP. McCain will die before his first term is complete (natural death). Hilary, who would have run circles around McCain will run and win in 2012.

    Evan Bayh is Obama's VP

    Tim Kaine would be suicide for Obama. Of course, Obama isn't going to win no matter who he chooses to run with but Kaine will alienate at least 20% of Democrat voters: that's how many people feel 'very strongly' about pro-choice policies. I have voted for one Republican in my life (G. Ford)...

    Why is it So Much Easier to Lose than to Win?

    The biggest problem for me, I daytrade the ES, is failing to follow the two most important rules of trading: 1. Cut losses short 2. Let profits run I have gotten very good at following Rule 1. Woking hard on following Rule 2. Rule 2 is hard because you just hate to let a little...

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    Consumption Tax: Continuing with the same numbers that I cited above from my 2007 tax returns. Of the 159K Adjusted Gross Income, we spent approxiamately 48K during the year. We track our expenditures in Quicken and we slice the data very fine. For example, some of our categores include...

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    The 'democracy' of Rome and Athens included 15%-20% of the total population: 80% of adults were disenfranchised. As far as France and Germany, although I certainly have an issue with some of their anti-freedom laws, I would say that they enjoy as much freedom, on the whole, as we do. Some...

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    I don't think we have enough 'history' of democracies to conclude that they tend towards 'tyranny'.

    America's Outrageous War Economy!

    Because you either have morals or you don't. You either understand that 'pre-emptive strike' will lead to annihilation of our species or you don't. You either recognize the fact the we, the USA, are the world's largest arms producer, largest arms exporter, and responsible for most of the...

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    If those on the 'Top 2%' (or any other level) will hide their income (cheat/steal) at 50% they'll do it at a rate of 1%. A moral character does not consider the 'effective tax rate' when deciding whether to cheat or not.

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    The average pays 15% on Taxable Wages. The Adjusted Gross Wages (AGI) is the number that is calculated before Standard/Itemized Deductions and Exemptions. I take the Standard Deduction since I have no mortgage and, as an atheist, am not subject to the "10% religion tax".. However, I was off...

    Why can't "the solution" be LOWER taxes, NO deficits, SMALLER government...?

    I am curious as to what, exactly, is the problem that you are referring?!?!? We are living better, living longer, have a very high literacy rate, worry more about whether we are going to get the 58" or 72" t.v or wait until the 96" models come than we are about whether we will eat tonight...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    I'm pissed, too!!! I may not agree with you that God created the universe, that Jesus is the key to eternal life, American militarism, or linking God to the military but I DEFINITELY support you whole-heartedly in your RIGHT to beleive and post what you want. This just goes to show that...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    'Planes crashing into our buildings': we cause 50 9/11 events EVERY year. Approx. 2,300 people died in 9/11: our military is responsible for 5 MILLION deaths since 1950. We are the world's largest arms producuer and arm exporter which increases our guilt even more. Quit crying that the arms...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    How pathetic!!! As if religion wasn't bad enough in and of itself, it becomes even more pathetic when mixed with militarism. There is no difference in the USA mixing its militarism with Christianity and Islam with terrorism. (Actually, our military action in the last 50+ years is nothing...

    Russian tanks in Georgia, 1000s dead, market rallies who cares...

    EXACTLY!! The Neo's in the Bush administration, ever ignorant of reality, have pushed for Georgia to be admitted into NATO. Sheer idiocy. However, it is the DUTY of Europe to not only veto this stupidity but to assert their sovereignty and end their allegience to NATO. The only reason they...

    Belief in God and Market Perspective

    Actually, Stephen, you are getting way ahead of the conversation. For the most part, we are discussing the validity of believing in 'God": Jesus hasn't even come into the equation yet. At this point we have discussed two belief's: (1) God created the universe and (2) the universe needs no...
