Remember the old days when swingers used to have "key parties?"
For the young and innocent who have never been exposed to such debauchery -- they would get together and throw all the mens' motel room keys in a hat. Then the ladies would pick them out of the hat and go to that key's room....
Well, now the possibilities for adultfriendfinder dot com have just been expanded... Just post a picture of your key and wait for your new friends to show up!
What we call "liberals" (meaning Left-wingers) in this country are wrong ALL of the time.
A party that's wrong all of the time?
I didn't say "party"; I was talking about an ideology that believes individuals are too stupid to make their own decisions and that therefore Government must make their decisions for them.
Socialism is tyranny. It cannot function without ever-increasing Government control over people's lives.
That makes them wrong pretty much ALL of the time.
Excuse me, but "trickle-down" is proven to work very well. The Reagan years were some of the best this country has ever had.
while I will agree that Reagan was a decent president, his economic policies were voodoo economics at best. His policies were responsible for quadrupling the national debit...
No, they weren't. His economic policies resulted in less poverty, lower unemployment, and more prosperity for everyone. That's not what any reasonable person would call "voodoo economics".
And I also wish that you would give up the old, tired lie about the national "debit" somehow being his fault, or due to his policies.
His policies resulted in a near-doubling of government revenue. The massive increase in national debt was because Congress, NOT Reagan, spent ALL of the extra revenue, and then some. Those of us who were actually alive at the time (or at least, were adults) remember well the budget showdowns between Reagan and the Democrat-controlled Congress. He appeared on national TV with the budget -- a stack of paper several feet high -- complaining bitterly about all of the pork therein. When the Government shut down -- twice -- because he refused to go along with Congress' irresponsible spending, the Press blamed Reagan instead of the Democrats who had caused it.
And now the Democrat Party, believing that we're all too stupid to remember that far back, are trying to pin the budget deficits of that time on Mr. Reagan.
And that is one of the reasons why I hate Democrats so vehemently. They have NO room to talk about Republicans supposedly "lying".
Would be we in a war Iraq that has coincidentally cost the same as our bailout plan if Al Gore had won?
Absolutely we would. The only difference is that under Gore we would have lost.
Also, Gore would have taken away all of our guns, and would have destroyed our economy with "Global warmming" policies that would have cost our country one hell of a lot more than what we've spent on Iraq and the bailouts combined.
You say that rich people are rich because they make themselves that way. Yet McCain's policies reflect Reagan's "trickle down" philosophy which patently does not work.
Excuse me, but "trickle-down" is proven to work very well. The Reagan years were some of the best this country has ever had.
By half? You really don't think there's *any* manipulation at work here? I have an open mind, though--can you point me to an independent source....
Yes. It's called Occam's Razor. Conspiracy theories are not necessary when the simple law of supply and demand will suffice.
If you're having a problem with this, stop focusing on how much the prices dropped and consider instead how much they rose last May. The recent drop is simply a return to what was "normal" before the spike. And the Law of Supply and Demand is more than sufficient to explain that, too.
So... we've have 'crats committing vote fraud for half a century by means of dead people voting and various other folks voting dozens of times in dozens of places...
...and now the 'pubs have allegedly come up with a countermeasure -- by controlling what votes actually get counted! Muwahahahahaha!!!
You mean Faux news? That's french for 'fake' haha.
No, "faux" news would be (for instance) organizaions that make up fake memos to try to influence an election (CBS); organizations that misquote VP candidates in order to make them look bad (ABC); organizations that attach fireworks to pickup trucks to make them look dangerous when they crash (NBC), organizations that print faked stories about the CIA importing cocaine to poison black people (LA Times), organizations that lie about Spotted Owls (CNN), and organizations that continue to breathlessly publish scare stories about so-called "Global Warming" even after ten years of flat temperatures (all of the above).
I'll take Fox News over any of those -- hell, I'll take Fox over ALL of those -- any time. Even though they, too, have bought into the Great Global Warming Hoax, they're still a good sight better than anyone else.
So somewhere out there is a man called Bush W George, an intelligent and respected man, who is opposed to war and cares deeply about the environment.
Of course with all things being opposite Bush W George lost the election to the warmongering, environment destroying imbecile Gore Al, so the anti-matter universe is not really all that different too our own in the end.
"Intelligent... opposed to war... cares deeply about the environment" vs. "warmongering, environment[-]destroying imbecile"???
Whoa, we're not thinking in stereotypes here or anything, are we?
Which just goes to prove that even people smart enough to see through the lies of "Intelligent Design" can still be idiots when it comes to critical thinking skills.
With these two clowns, the question isn't "which one would be better for the economy?", but "which one will do the lesser amount of damage to the economy?"

OMG! At first I thought I'd read, "why let it be a complete waste of dick space...." Made me go "HUH??"

I see. Do you have anything of actual SUBSTANCE to say? Or is grade-school-level name-calling the pinnacle of your intellectual capacity?

...by and large the conservative movement has proven itself to be untrustworthy on several fronts and, quite frankly, un-American.
At least the conservatives are right SOME of the time. What we call "liberals" (meaning Left-wingers) in this country are wrong ALL of the time.
So if you're going for a "lesser of the evils" argument (I do not), conservatives win every time.

...one wonders if the market had held out, would we have, for some other 'inexplicable' reason, seen gas prices drop before election day?
Yes. Because the US elections are in the fall, and the price of gasoline ALWAYS drops in the fall, whether it's an election year or not.

Same old, same old. Nothing new here, for sure.
Funny, it worked for the Soviets
... and something like fifty million people died.
Funny, it worked for the Nazis too. And the Cambodians. And a number of other dictatorships.
Over one hundred million people died in the 20th Century alone because of gun control.
Sorry, but it's NOT funny.

Why? Because Fox isn't biased far enough to the Left for you?
...or at least economic stratification within a nation.
Translation: "Increases opportunity, which SOME people make good use of... others don't."

Or for cosmetic surgeons to say to prospective patients "Here is how much more attractive I could make you.... for a special price of just $5000"
$5,000? Heck, I get emails all the time promising to make me more... uh... "attractive" for less money than that!

Garbage in, garbage out, as they say.
With these two clowns, the question isn't "which one would be better for the economy?", but "which one will do the lesser amount of damage to the economy?"
Hear hear!
Looking at their answers to the Global Warming hoax, it's clear that BOTH intend to destroy the economy to deal with this non-problem.
Of course, both contradict this when they answer the very next question . Nothing new for a politician.
Since both are promising to do the impossible, I, too, shall be voting for Barr this year.
