I said she was better than Obama, not that she was good. As an example, given what a flop Hillary Care was, there is no way that she would've forced the issue as president. That alone makes her better than Obama.

Wow, you guys sure like to blow things out of proportion! There were only three legitimate candidates in '08. I ranked them in order of my opinion on them. I didn't say that I liked any of them in particular. IF you weren't so intent to criticism, you would've taken the statement in context...

As much as the media (and evidently you) want to live in the 80s and call the Caymans a tax haven, that hasn't been the case for many years. Ever since the formation of the OECD in 2000, tax havens have gone the way of the dinosaurs. But let's not let fact prevent a good bit of demagoguery.

Oh the humanity!!! Romney has investment accounts that aren't domiciled in the US!!! He keeps money in a place that gets him the best return and requires the exact same tax payment?!?!? When will it end? When will we stop electing such dirtbags?!?!?

Maybe I misspoke, I should have said pandering to the non-wealthy. Or in his terms, anyone who makes less than $200K. I'm not saying it is a bad strategy, Mitt is doing it too. But it is obvious pandering to me. As for the Right pandering to the rich. I believe that is actually a...

I don't hate Obama, but in terms of who would've done a better job after the '08 election with the current situation, I would have to say: 1) Hillary 2) McCain 3) Obama I think Obama got nominated purely on novelty. Hillary was hands down the more qualified and capable choice.

Totally incompetent -- NO Partially incompetent-- YES Wants to destroy the country -- NO In over his head and mistaken about how to fix the main problems -- YES Hates the rich -- NO Panders to the poor in order to get re-elected -- YES

Sure it is easier to joke about quirky cultural issues of conservatives. But in terms of the news media, there is a well documented bias. That is why Fox News does so well in the ratings. It is pretty much the only group slanted the other direction. You have the majority of the news outlets...

Well, a lot of the evidence to support this type of claim against him was demanded by the courts in 1999. He fought it for a while, but the judge ruled in favor of his wife and demanded everything from phone bills of Callista, to a record of all women he had sexual relations with. To the...

In all fairness, their side is on the receiving end of the media nonsense, far more often than yours. That is common knowledge.

Also, the responsibility of the media isn't to avoid presenting any story that isn't 100% supported by hard proof. Their responsibility is to weed out obvious falsehoods and provide all of the known facts in a fair manner. The courts take it from there. The major breakdown in this system...

Yes, they should have done more homework first. But I would argue that there is no evidence in a case like this. The credibility of the accused is very well established on this topic, and it is well within his pattern of behavior. Given what has already been verified about him, this isn't...

First of all, there was a point where Newt was my candidate. Or should I say, I was leaning toward him as the best choice on the GOP side. He still might be, I'm not sure yet. I'm not trying to defend the media, or slam Newt. I'm saying that a candidate will be hit with all sorts of...

I get what you're saying, and I agree with it for the most part. It was reported that there was considerable debate about whether or not to run the story, but that actually wasn't it. They were on a tight timeline, and many felt that they needed to get Newt's side of the story before...

From what research I've done on 'Anon', it seems as if it was certainly started by a close knit group, and many of them are still involved with the only portion of the movement able to claim the authority to act in the name of the group. It is sort of interesting that way. There are almost two...

According to the ex-wife, she only came out with it because his campaign, in an attempt to marginalize the issue, was starting to make her look bad. I believe that she has a right to be heard.

Well, I would argue that just because something is a "he said, she said" situation, doesn't mean that it didn't happen. In those cases, the journalist is required to get both sides of the story, perform a background check on all parties involved, and give each party a chance to make their case...

OK, if you simply saying that the media should be verifying facts, that is one thing. I thought you were suggesting that because this stuff happened 15 years ago, it was irrelevant. I'm suggesting that it is a necessary part of vetting him as a candidate. As much as people want to claim that...

I don't think that is a fair comparison. A single example of stupidity that happened 15-20 years ago is not newsworthy. Everyone does something stupid now and then. But a pattern speaks to the character of a man. This is not the Democrat party, this is the GOP we are talking about. Things...

I think this is complete nonsense as a fund manager. It is annoying enough that our government has expanded its reach to claim tax on any income regardless of where it is earned, but as a patriotic American, I'll live with that. But most Americans have a retirement account containing some...
