I'd agree with you IF we were talking about the general electorate, but in the primaries, not so much.

Why? WHY? WHYYYYY???

We've had some odd characters come out of the woodworks recently.

Has a good fiscal record, speaks well and has lots of attributes that would appear to make him a good candidate, only problem is that he is blander than tofu....

For Real

I love me some Milton Friedman! Even though what you just posted is a pile of garbage that was mischaracterized from another piece of garbage that you obviously follow. Exiled from Illinois, is that you? Yet most "middle-class" Americans vote for Conservatives. How could that be?

what?

ummm, ok

This is similar to a conversation I attempted to have with billy bob, which is that in order to have a well-rounded view and perspective of things in the way that they really are, you have to get your news from more than one view point and from there formulate things the best you can. Unfortunately many of you are incapable of doing this, which is why at least half of the threads are filled with recycled **** from the previous days talking maestros view points.

Sounds like a man who mentally already has one foot out the door.

Wow! That was rough. Feel bad for the lil kid.

Talk about fanning the flames, unless the EU energy chief knows something that most other "experts" don't, he needs to be taken to the woodshed and flogged.

Great, another "I hate Islamic people" thread.

Well, I'm gonna say this, the truth lies in between both arguments. As usual, what Lybob said was incorrect, having said that, if it wasn't for the actions of the Federal Reserve, most of those banks that received TARP funds wouldn't of been able to pay back the funds that they did. It would be inappropriate to gauge treasuries or the Fed's actions as an overall success for quite some time. Many of these actions have after-effects and unintended consequences that we can't see for quite some time. However, we are beginning to see the early stages of the inflationary implications of the Fed's decisions and we have already saw some of the effects of the bailouts (TARP). The loss of confidence from the public and how they view the Governments role in bailing out these banks, auto companies and etc. does have an impact, not so much in tangible terms but more so in how lawmakers react to the demands of the public. One way is through some of the regulations that have been placed due to TARP, some of these regulations are nonsensical and very restricting which in turn will have a tangible impact on the economy. Usually populist measures and laws written by lawmakers do more harm than good (Dodd-Frank Bill), now I am not in complete disagreement with the entire Bill, there are some measures in there that do make sense, but there are many in there that were placed to try to appease their base.

Umm yes he did. I saw him play in at least 10 full games in his junior year, how many did you?

You sir are a nincompoop http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-03-04-federal-pay_N.htm . Those Facts really suck sometimes.

Do any of you guys ever understand what Eric says?

Dude, I just asked who you were.

Who are you?

Ruh Oh!

Is that all you could come up with? *yawn*
