Typical partisan idiocy. The part of the first graph labeled "Republican Policies" was when Democrats controlled both houses of congress. The fact is that the crash of 2008 was caused by years of bad policy promoted by both parties. I blame George W. Bush for a major unnecessary war and the...

Do short sale restrictions on stocks apply to option market makers? If so, how do they stay delta neutral on, say, short puts on that stock as the price goes down?

I only resent welfare cheats because they are picking my pocket. If only liberals had to pay for welfare cheats I'd have no problem with them.

Sotomayor is a member of the National Council of La Raza. I will be shocked if she votes to uphold Arizona's immigration law. After all, La Raza is one of the biggest pro-illegal immigrant lobbies in America.

Yes, about a factor of 10. $15 trillion of debt, and $1.5 trillion added per year. Not so terribly long ago the entire national debt was less than our current annual deficit.

So jumping into the Libyan civil war on the side of al-Qaeda was taking the fight to al-Qaeda? Well, in a pervese way it was, I suppose. We still have lots of soldiers in Iraq. But they're mostly mercenaries, so we can pretend we pulled the troops out. It has been obvious for many years...

I wasn't on ET then.

Just as angry as now. Unlike the liberals I didn't stop being against the wars once Obama was Commander in Chief. Unlike the conservatives I didn't wait for Obama to be president before being against the deficits.

And he's buying US T bonds? Good, we still have some foreign suckers willing to buy our government's junk bonds at absurdly low yields. When the government inflates the money to the point where the bonds are worthless at least it won't be an American getting stiffed.

Nope, I'm not voting for Obama. Therefore I do not want to burn the country down. I am justifiably angry that the 4th Amendment is dead, that we are in endless wars no matter which party is in power, and that the government is getting us all hopelessly into debt that will never be repaid...

If I was an angry white guy who wants to burn the country down I'd vote for Obama.

I would add that Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who draws a significant number of supporters from people under 30. If you look at the audiences at the campaign speeches of the other candidates it is obvious that the non-Ron Paul part of the Republican Party will die out within 30...

Ron Paul is the only candidate aside from Romney that has any chance of beating Obama, according to some Rasmussen polls. In the Tuesday primaries Ron Paul just got 15% of the vote in New York, 13% in Pennsylvania, 13% in Connecticut, and 24% in Rhode Island. In all of Tuesday's primaries...

Indeed. You can be sure that every Hollywood liberal who calls for more restrictive gun laws has an armed bodyguard.

Yup. Anyone who votes for Romney thinking he is a real Republican is going to be in for a nasty surprise. Romney just takes any position that looks like it will get him the votes he needs. So when he's running for the Republican nomination he pretends to be conservative. As soon as the...

There has not been a halt to illegal immigration, although it has slowed down because the economy is depressed. The Obama administration is eager to sue any state that tries to enforce immigration law. The Democrats love illegal immigration because that's a big part of their voter base --...

Most Americans are dumb enough to deserve four more years of Obama. The problem is I'm not one of them.

Al Sharpton is a race hustler, but not a terrorist.

A "police action" would be something like quelling a riot here in the United States. Taking sides in a civil war with cruise missiles and fighter jets is not a "police action". It is war. This country has had a long string of constitution shredding war mongers in the White House, from both...

So what is your point? Where does the Constitution say that presidents can start wars? If you're merely trying to point out that other presidents have started wars without a declaration of war, well, you get a gold star, Captain Obvious. But nobody is claiming those other politicians were...
