Oh right, the president's economic policies have zero effect on economic growth and the national debt. Keep dreaming.

In other words income redistribution and socialism is acceptable as long as it benefits you.

Actually transportation infrastructure is only a fraction of the federal aid Alaska receives. Alaska received 2.5 billions dollars for agriculture, 23 million for "rural development activities", 147 million for Education, 900 million for Health and Human Services, 40 million for Homeland Security, 179 million for HUD, 50 million for low income housing and block grants, 87 million for Indian Affairs, 31 million for unemployment insurance and many more handouts. Transportation infrastructure only accounts for 600 million of Alaska's federal aid. Why should California, Texas, New York and Illinois subsidize federal welfare queen Alaska? Isn't this socialism?

Clinton was already reducing the debt the two years prior to Republicans winning the house in 1994 and then as soon as he was gone it started going up again. "Bill Clinton steadily reduced the debt increase while he was in office, thanks largely to the 1993 Debt Reduction Act* that was OPPOSED BY EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS, led by Newt Gingrich! The Republicans claimed that the Debt Reduction Act would result in HIGHER deficits and also result in an economic recession during President Clinton's term. Obviously, with hindsight they were completely wrong. Republicans don't seem to be very good at math, or economics."

Or that Ralph's wife will have a change of heart and assume ownership.

Look at the graph, the numbers don't lie. Do you think it's a coincidence that national debt skyrocketed under Reagan, GHWB, and GWB while it fell during Clinton?

Where did he go to college and when was he drafted?

I was polled by a live person during the Spitzer election. It was questions like who are you voting for, how enthusiastic are you about this candidate, my education level, race etc.

During 24 of those years our national debt increased while during 8 it decreased, can you guess which party was in power during the increases? http://www.lafn.org/politics/gvdc/Natl_Debt_Chart.html

Supposedly Courtland Finnegan is supposed to be the "next big thing" among NFL cornerbacks. I never heard of him until now though.

I thought you right wingers didn't believe anything written in books because the author was making money from the book? Scott McClellan anyone???? Richard Clarke anyone???? Paul O'Neil anyone???? I don't seem to remember conservatives "refuting the lies" and not attacking McClellan, O'Neil and Clarke's credibility? 400 "refrences"? I'd be more impressed if he had 400 "references" and the majority of them did not come from right wing blogs. Hell he may have even used PPP as one of his sources! By the way if you're interested Mr Corsi will be on the "Political Cesspool" radio show tonite, have you heard of them? Check out their forum, http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/forum.php, they're just a little racist aren't they?

I agree! http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebrity/63426

A discredited book? I'd never expect a regular Coast To Coast AM guest who believes in abiotic oil to make things up!

For some reason I'm not a big fan of Pittsburgh's coach.

Jeeper Creepers, your huge list of successful ICBM interceptions must have overloaded the TBD server, can you please repost them? Thank you.

I know that our time is limited but can we first discuss the many, many, many, many times a missile defense system has successfully intercepted an ICBM?

That sounds an awful lot like socialism and income redistribution doesn't it? Why can't Stalinist Alaska get off the federal welfare dole? Isn't it about time those Alaskan liberals showed some personal responsibility and stopped expecting handouts? I guess as long as Uncle Sam keeps subsidizing them they'll have no incentive to help themselves. Those 600,000 Alaskans are entitled to be the 2nd highest per capita beneficiary of federal aid even though they are they rank 39th in per capita federal taxes contributed, right?

But you'll pretend to know exactly what happened with John Edwards?

A little XXX ratedness???????????

I'm sure that the fact that she was no longer physically attractive had nothing to do with McCain cheating on her with a hot 24 year old. Just a coincidence right?

Maybe our federal income taxes would be a little lower without freeloading states like Alaska and Wyoming would stop demanding far more federal aid than the federal tax revenues they collect?

Are you guys talking about a windfall profits tax or income tax?

Since when are income tax rates based on profits?

No, it's pathetic for you to act like McCain is any less of a scumbag than John Edwards.

Are you really suggesting oil companies are paying a 75% income tax rate? Do you have proof please? Is that just the rate or is it what they actually pay?
