Actually, coming from someone who watches MSNBC, CNN, and FOX... Fox is not the Right's equivalent to MSNBC. NBC and affiliates are much further to the left than Fox and affiliates are to the right. I don't think that anyone will deny that Fox is more friendly to politicians on the right...

Well, the first round of polls were just released for NV, MI, and AZ primaries and it looks like so far my predictions are spot on. NV -- Romney +20 MI -- Romney +15 AZ -- Romney +24

It is referred to as notional trading. They have only deposited $100K but you'll be trading it at a level of $200K. They must be well informed that they will experience 2X the risk of a typical account. You must also be very honest regarding the chances of a margin call, depending on the...

Well, the holders of these bonds were paid an appropriate yield to compensate them for the risk of default. The problem isn't that they are being forced to write off a large portion of that debt. The problem is that it was first supposed to be something like 30%. Then it was 50%. Now it is...

You might be able to make that argument if I was against Obama. I think I've stated several times that I haven't ruled out support for Obama. So I can't really be in denial. I'm just trying to consider what conditions might play a factor. It seems to me that I'm the only one making the...

Yep, and AZ too. That is why Newt is gonna have such a hard time. He only has a chance in Minnesota this month. All the rest will easily go to Romney. Except maybe Main, but who really cares about that? NV, CO, AZ, MI are all Romney territory. The only states left for Newt to have a shot...

I agree on NY. No chance of it ever going red in the near future. PA is closer as the GOP only needs to pick up an extra 6% to win it. If it's Romney he has a very good shot at New Hampshire as he is popular there and only needs to pick up an extra 5%, though he probably wouldn't win his home...

It's been pointed out before, but until the GOP nominee is chosen, those polls are worthless. In fact, you would generally expect the incumbent to show a much larger margin this early simply due to name recognition. But just to demonstrate my point about what the Mormon support does for...

Also must keep in mind that even though it looks to his supporters like Obama beat McCain in a landslide, that actually wasn't the case. I would hardly call 53% to 46% a landslide victory. I was not a McCain supporter, but I was surprised by how close it actually was in '08.

I said that i think Obama still takes Cali, but if you think that NV, CO, and NM are all gonna go Obama over Romney, you are not being very realistic. NV -- Romney needs to beat McCain's numbers by 6% to win, and look at the primary numbers in NV during '08. Even though he lost to McCain...

LOL, yes the missionary training certainly helps. If you want a demonstration of what a bunch of rowdy Mormons can do, just look at Prop 8 in CA. That goes overwhelmingly the other direction if the Mormons don't get involved. Most people are so used to viewing Mormons as a small...

That is the real question. Does Romney choose Christie and go for the Northeast Obama block, or does he choose Rubio and go for the Hispanic vote and completely lock up Florida. IMO, without FL a GOP win is almost impossible. There is one route though, if FL goes for Obama. It is very...

I disagree. It is easy to argue that almost everyone would be better served by free market in this case. There is a very small group of individuals benefiting from such export restrictions. I would argue that the producers of such raw materials are actually experiencing a reduction in...

Well, I think it depends on which crops we are talking about and also whether we are referring to realized effect or the intended effect. As I understand it, the subsidies have always been based on the premise of price control. There has always been a goal of keeping prices high so that...

I understand that. But what is the difference between this and the US government subsidizing farmers for underproduction?

So what exactly is a level playing field? If a certain country is rich in a particular resource, are they required divide it evenly to the rest of the world? For example, it seems that China (which is far and away the largest iron producer) would like to maintain an advantage for itself in...

Why is it a problem if creationism isn't taught in schools. I wouldn't send my children to school to be taught about faith. That is what parents and organized religion are for. In the end, science eventually figures it out. A religious person like myself isn't threatened by science or...

Let's not fool ourselves. There is almost as much garbage up there as there is down here in the basement. At least down here people actually believe the nonsense that they are spewing. Up there you have the trading equivalent of 400 pound bald hairy guys with acne claiming to be 21 year old...

Some of the robots must agree with me then. NICE!!!!

Couldn't find the full quote, but this is very close. Newt is absolutely the posterboy for living your religion.
