Bush has been amazing!! To manage an economy with $100 oil, 100 year old finanical firms failing, housing bubble popping sharply. Yet , unemployment is about the same as during the Clinton years. GDP still growing, exports growing, interest rates low, long bonds bid up. No right minded...

This issue is ,what is income? Someone making millions has lots of control how that income is distributed. Example. a rich guy has 100 million in Municipal bonds. He makes a guaranteed 5% return. He gets 5 million a year tax free. Should he have to pay taxes? Right now 40% of the bottom...

3 solutions, ranked by logic. 1) Lower the receptionist's taxes to 17.6% 2) Buffett fires his tax lawyers and restructures his business where he become an employee, then he pays the same as her. 3) make every other American except Buffet himself pay more taxes. All this to make Buffet feel...

Many events are factored into the success of a presidency. Reagon had a horrible recession that is overlooked because of the way his term ended. Clintons charts are tops for any president, but few people would historical rank him more then just average. I do think Bush will rank higher...

Some of this "lost of confidence" may be the Obama effect. It is the fear of Obama winning with a large Dem congress. Huge tax increases, more regulation along with Government intrusion into private industry. The beginning of a major shift into longer term assets as wealth seeks to hide...

Is Wikipedia recognized as a legitimate source for intellectual research? Are Universities now accepting dissertations citing Wikipedia as proper sourcing?

I thought she performed in a thoughtful cautious manner. In the role as a diplomat when a concept is offered on the table it would be foolish to assume that other side has the meaning in their head that you have in your own. It is proper protocol to have the person who brings up a theory to...

Blagojevich is innocent as he tells us everyday, maybe he is and legally he is. Why is Obama keeping away a Govenor who went out before even jesse jackson and endorsed Obama. Obama is not being very fair to his state Governor. It is a real strange situation. A senator from illinois not...

Blagojevich was the first Governer to endorse Obama. Obama as usual, threw Blagojevich under the bus when convention time came around. Obama had Lisa Madigan, Emil Jones and Alex Giannoulias and Daley speak, but did not invite Blagojevich to the convention. Look who is under the bus...

Bush never votes. Are they saying 90% of the bills that reaches him. This a real funny statistic. The way the Senate is organized party line votes are very common. The debate is done in committee then all vote in favor on the floor. Even with that being the case, McCain has a terrible...

You must be very slow. Anyone could see the basis behind the poll just from the pictures

You have a point. The problem is how to define secular values. Secular logic: If people can get married with no intention of having children then why not Gays, at least for the legal benefits. If so then why can't related people marry for the legal benefits. Religous morals work because...

Lipstick on an Obama Palin could have come back with a joke of her own It would take a Goverment agency to find all the lipstick needed to do Obama's lips? Look at Bush's favorable ratings it has gone up 5 points(33) since Palin. If he gets close to 40 by November look for republican...

In Jauarary Hillary was 20 points ahead of the best Republican nominee. She assured of becoming the 1st woman prez. Now she is out, watching Palin grab history as a woman VP. Truly amazing. In a way you should feel sorry for her, but also it is good to see her and Bill get a little of...

You guys are getting looney. Now Obama is a underdog. All us Republicans send out a big Thank you to the liberals and their blogs

If they went short based on the Tribune article then listed the story on their website, I think they would be legally clear.

I get the sense that a handful of these thread starters are on the dole for Obama. They start new threads using the same anti-Palin information from previous posts. Seems more like a campaign. Go to other forums and you see the same anti-Palin text. This is a coordinated copy&paste...

OK, if this was the case, let me also speculate. He would have not even gone into Afghanistan. He would be stuck with Clinton quagmire of containing Saddam. which would have been in the 18th year. Had he been forced to go into Afghanistan we would be seeing 4000 causalites by now. I...

They will be worth more in the souvenir shop.
