I'm sorry, but until the Democrats trot out a Zell Miller/Adolf Hitler lookalike and accuse the Republicans of despising America, being unpatriotic and working against the troops I'll leave the Democrats in the "wimpy" category.

Ummm... okay, then why the concern? But again, I agree regarding lobbyists, although it does appear that you are conflating two different things. But I'm not sure why you think McCain isn't hypocritical, after all, he wrote a bill reforming lobbying tactics, then hired at least 11 actual...

May I ask how this impacts good policy? Personally I want the high IQ nerd running the government rather than the sports hero.

Well the discussion was about the son who is an attorney general. But if you wish to change topics, I agree, lobbying needs to be strictly regulated. Last I heard, Republicans were strongly opposed to serious lobbying reform. McCain introduced a bill and even he voted against the lobbying...

If this were American Gladiators, that would be great. Except it's picking who's the smartest guy in the room to understand and set good policy.

Well thank God you know, that's better than the Republican candidate for president. Iran must be Sunni then... or Shia... oh who knows. Let's run for president!

Oh sheesh. How dishonest. According to you graph tax receipts were rising in 1996 and 1995 already, and were already recovering in 2002, yet you ascribe the increase in revenue to capital gains reductions. In statistics what you've done there would be called "nonsense."

Well that's great, except that if your theory was true (or relevant) where did the giant debt come from? In other words, even if you're right the tax cuts did not pay for themselves.

Also, granola bars were introduced. Therefore higher birth rates were the result of granola bars. QED. The reality is far more complex than your simple sketch, involving a cultural shift in the sixties and seventies. No. The highest statistic I've found is for black mothers only, not...

Sounds fair -- so that obviously brings up the question of how much is "too much" and how little is "too little" and how one can know if Obama's plan is good or bad. I can tell you that welfare payments, at least in this area, are not high. Well I look at historical data and in the 50's...

Fox is a joke.

Especially after the Iranians attacked during 9/11. Or was it the Iraqi's? It's hard to keep straight. Maybe it was the Sunnis...

Great. So what specific amount of welfare is the amount at which people stop working? And a followup -- what specific percentage of taxes is the amount where people stop working?

Well that's a relief because apparently the Republicans have latched on to some misleading information (shocking, I know.) Of course, Obama secretly hates whites and the rich which is why he graduated from Harvard. You ever slow down and ask yourself "What are my beliefs and why do they...

His son Beau "is a captain in the Delaware Army National Guard's Judge Advocate General's Corps" and is being deployed to Iraq in October. So you're wrong, or lying. Obviously you don't give a shit about the truth or the troops.

Not quite -- the tech boom came in his second term, and that doesn't explain how he reduced spending in his first term. There's no question that the Republicans helped push the balanced budget issue, but when push came to shove and Clinton shut down the government when the Republicans blocked...

Actually Obama may have -- who knows. Additionally the brother says that this has all been exaggerated by the media and that he lives quite well. In fact, he even volunteers for a charity: "...reports surfaced in the past few days, springing from an Italian Vanity Fair article saying...

Well sure, but it's still a theory like gravity.

Hi wjk -- pretty good, I guess. Hope things are good with you. Yes, it would be fine to teach creationism in science class if creationism was a scientific theory. Until the day that it is disprovable by locating certain evidence, like all scientific theories, it isn't science and therefore...

"The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor’s race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state’s public classrooms."
