Very interesting. Makes sense, merging duplicity to save money. I wonder how the Obama haters will spin this to be a negative thing? Who knows, maybe they won't? I watched the video, again, idiots guide to the NWO. One of the definitions fo our current 2 party system being the craps game...

Yep, having been a long time market researcher, I have to agree about the number manipulation. Just common knowledge among traders. If my CPA had to 'adjust' numbers like the government does, I would get a new CPA. But, to the point about technology. Those jobs will never return. The rest of...

Was actually listening to Don Imus on the way to work. He has Stossel on often. Speaking of instinct, Imus thought he meant when picking stocks, talking economy and all that. But, Stossel says he meant that it is human nature to think that a big trade deficit with China is bad for the economy...

To be fair, are the lack of jobs a result of him being in office? Or GWB? A side note. We, as a nation, have to realize that many, many jobs are simply gone forever. Technology has replaced millions of jobs. Never to come back, never. And, with jobs overseas, with our trade deficit...

Wow, we agree again, hold me up. c:eek:

Now I'm conflicted a bit. I advocated for posters to bet or at least preditct their choices, much like INtrade. But I have to say that posting real data does tend to show facts vs. bias. I have no problem with facts, but I do like to see personal rhetoric to support the points being...

Romney 32 Newt 20 Paul 15 others don't matter at this point. And, sure, you get people to vote their predictions, what am I, chopped liver? c:)

+1, yep. Can't give blame when you cannot give credit. Many talk about the 'record' of Obama. Which record? Without hyperbole? Maybe not credit for OBL, but also not blame for much of the deficit. Blame for recess appointees, but not credit for doing only a fraction of his predecessors. And, I...

Ut oh, we may have a point of agreement here. I don't want to deprive any young people an education, but if their parents aren't paying any type of taxes, then we may agree. c

And we used to have volunteer FD's, still do in many places. Do you think that's the right thing to do? Maybe all roads should be toll roads, maybe $10 per mile? I can easily pay that to go my office. Maybe have $20 admission to parks in your town? No free parks, no free roads. Put everything...

Ah, the satire, have to love it. I'm just guessing here, but I think the OP is saying that might want to think about what we have here already. I know that I would prefer to have some of my tax money go to help anyone, yes anyone who needs immediate, emergency health care. Don't send the...

Just a comment, not patronizing in any sense whatsoever. I would like to congratulate the posters on this thread for putting up good, solid discussion points. Nice to see the intellect outweigh the attitude once in a while. Of course we all disagree on much of this, but so what? Kudos to...

Thanks, and thanks to Epic too for the graph. I was wondering if you know where I could find the Congress' approval ratings to overaly as well. I just have a hunch that Congress was much higher under Truman than Obama? Any ideas Epic, or Maverick? I really did try, can't find those ratings...

Still don't see it, weird? Link? c

Would like to see the graph with an overlay of the ratings for congress during Truman's time and Obama's time. I know, I should dig for it myself, but maybe since you seem to know where to look? c

Valid point as to the movie industry as a whole. I guess, historically run by a more liberal base as well. I think I'll stick my hope to have news bureaus non bias, and maybe paid for by the entertainment portion of the revenues, like the old days. c

Did not embed? c

No, but land of free enterprise. You'll likely hate this. The media is market driven, just like Bain capital, who I have no problem with. Companies need to be lean to be successful. Media has to make money to be successful, and the more people who like their show, the better. This would mean...

I agree, I got pretty bored at the 5 minute mark. I would assume they're going to do some editing. Pretty weird. c

I understand your point. The same problem we had with the Viet Cong, ambushes, children with bombs and other horrifying events. And, yes, we must fight as hard as we can, again, on the battlefield, but not the graveyard. Maybe a minor distinction to some, but seems more major to some of us...
