It's Bush's fault. It's always Bush's fault... What was the question?

There are definitly some bad private schools out there, and obviously some crooked ones that need to be shut down if they're defrauding their students. But there are also some pretty good private schools like Harvard, Yale and Princeton and Stanford. The bottom line is, some private schools...

Sorry. Your pseudo-intellectual arguements don't wash. The simple fact is, you reached an incorrect conclusion based on your incorrect assumptions. I wasn't defending McCain. I didn't vote for him. I don't even like the guy. But, of course, you just make whatever assumptions you want so...

The purpose of my comment was not to defend McCain, but rather to show that democrats say as many stupid things as republicans. Democrats and republicans are equally as stupid and corrupt. I was simply introducing some balance into the discussion.

The discussion began with an attack on a Republican. But, of course, that's okay with you.

So you're saying that Biden and Pelosi also get a pass because they're democrats.

“To leftist intellectuals, it's okay to have a president [Obama] who thinks he visited 57 states, a vice president [Biden] who has claimed that Franklin Roosevelt went on television to calm the people after the stock market crash of 1929 (no TV yet, and Hoover was president), and a Speaker of...

The problem runs even deeper when you look at individual cities. In Los Angeles, in 2015 public employee retirement benefits will consume 33% of the city's budget and servicing of bond debt will take another 8%. Los Angeles' unemployment rate is 13.5% ("u6" unemployment is over 22%) and the...

In September of 1999, an article in the New York Times predicted with amazing accuracy the financial collapse that began in 2006. --------------------------------------------- NEW YORK TIMES Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending By STEVEN A. HOLMES Published: September 30, 1999...

Electric cars don't seem to be selling very well. --------------------------------------- Peruse Chevrolet's February sales release, and you'll notice one number that's blatantly missing: how many Chevy Volts were sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company's...

I got back from vacation late last night and saw this article about Chicago's Mayor, Richard Daley, giving his departing speech before turning over the office to the new Mayor. When I read it, I thought I'd returned to a parallel universe. Doesn't sound like the Mayor Daley I've ever heard...

There's an undeniable fact staring everyone in the face -- there isn't enough money to pay the bills in California. Unfunded pension liabilities are now the biggest item on the table and they're swallowing California cities whole. The state's only been able to last this long because of...

If Orange county is so right wing, why was it it such a close election between Obama and McCain in the 2008 elections? Why does the largest city in the county (Santa Ana) have a democrat mayor? Why do Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Irvine all have democrat mayors. The only major cities in...

I never said it was the fault of democrats. I said it was the fault of politicians. Republicans are as bad as Democrats and I never vote for either party. And for your information, San Diego and Orange County are not "right-wing." I live in Newport Beach in Orange county and our mayor, Keith...

If you read the report, it says that even without the economic crash, the promises made to the unions couldn't have been kept. The reason is that the unions gave millions to the politicians to win the elections, then the politicians gave the unions massive pensions in exchange. There was no...

In California the unions are bankrupting the state and all the major cities. For example, within four years the city of Los Angeles is going to have to spend over 30% of its total budget just on city employee pension costs and retirement benefits. Other major cities in California, and the state...

I don't know the details about Wisconsin, but in California the unions are bankrupting the state and all the major cities. For example, within four years the city of Los Angeles is going to have to spend over 30% of its total budget just on city employee pension costs and retirement benefits...

I don't assume that if someone is better than me they must be cheating. Michael Jordan was much better than most of the other players. Does that mean that he was cheating? Maybe he's just better. Some companies are better than others without cheating. They're more innovative and more...

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that even if a Japanese or German company can produce a better product at a lower price, the US government should be "forced" to do business with an American company and spend taxpayer dollars on an inferior product at a higher cost. Why would...

If you want to drive a Chrysler, that's your choice. I prefer my Lexus. "Forcing" competiton does not at all go against free market capitalism. What I meant by "force" was not allowing American companies to hide behind protectionism. If they can't hide, they're "forced" to compete. Yes, that...
