Personally it sounds like a superficial nonsense topic to a problem that doesn't exist, but okay, I'll bite. The Republicans passed a critical law about this burning issue back in 2002. How many fetuses have been saved because of this important legislative achievement? And a follow up...

ZZZ -- good luck with that. I'll be pleased if she's asked anything other than her favorite brand of shoes.

My parents are from the "show me" state, so I don't believe it unless you can show it. But yes, I feel free to disagree with Obama on quite a few points. In my opinion he's still the much stronger and more competent candidate. If you cherry pick polls, yes. You have to be careful with...

Former New York Mayor Ed Koch, who endorsed and worked for George W. Bush in 2004, is endorsing Obama today, NY1 first reported. "I have concluded that the country is safer in the hands of Barack Obama, leader of the Democratic Party and protector of the philosophy of that party. Protecting...

You and Pabst live in Canada? [b] Well that's very nice of you. You should tell your children that you'll be saddling them with the debt for your lifestyle when they're old enough to understand.

McCain joking about bombing Iran: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAzBxFaio1I

Ummm yeah, when a phrase has little quote marks around it, yeah, he has to say it directly.

Well if you check Adams, above, ""Property monopolized or in the possession of a few is a curse to mankind. We should preserve not an absolutely equality -- this is unnecessary, but preserve all from extreme poverty and all others from extravagant riches." Notice how Adams doesn't say...

No gloating intended, I hadn't read your concession in the second point at that point in time. Fair enough, it's good that you've "softened" your view on what happened. Many people here wouldn't. Well it's worth noting that she left her small town with $20 million in debt. So as a...

By "last I heard" I meant "the last that I heard" which means future announcements are nice, but not relevant. Anyway, let's try and get back to the point. Well that's why I posted a list of her positions, such as teaching creationism in schools, supporting the "bridge to nowhere"...

The income tax was to be temporary, but other taxes have always been around and were actively supported by the founding fathers. For example, Adams wrote "Property monopolized or in the possession of a few is a curse to mankind. We should preserve not an absolutely equality -- this is...

"All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that.." "Islam in general -- those who live by the Koran have a scriptural mandate to kill Christians...

I've watched it twice now, he never says "goddamn white america" anywhere in the link that you provided.

Wages are property. I think the founding fathers, having known about the British tax system, had more than a passing familiarity with unfairness in tax systems.

...Because black people are people and enslaving people is an anathema to the constitution where all men are created equal. See how easy that is? Now you try it. Jefferson was wrong about graduated income taxes because...

Which part "specifically prohibited a graduated income tax?"

"Obama will reinstate pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) budget rules, so that new spending or tax cuts are paid for by spending cuts or new revenue elsewhere." I've been through McCain's site and can't find his position on pay-go rules. His site just says he'll have "fiscal discipline" and humorously...

Well that's clearly false. As a percentage of GDP, Reagan increased the debt 11.3% in his first term, and 9.2% in his second. George HW Bush increased it 13.1%. Bill Clinton REDUCED it 0.6% in his first term and REDUCED it 8.2% in his second term. George W. Bush INCREASED it 6.9% in his...

You're absolutely right about that. Given that her philosophy is that she knows the right path to take in this regard for society, perhaps it should only be held against her philosophy.

Notice that Kerry didn't win. Well Obama has also been campaigning and hasn't missed anywhere near the same number of votes. So you think that McCain missed almost 400 votes because they weren't delayed for him? If that's the explanation I'll get a good laugh out of it. :) Thank God.
