| the Republicans and most tea party types don't really care about economic recovery, an assertion that I back up with their willingness to risk the US' credit rating and further economic trauma on stopping tax raises. What makes the Democrats' unwillingness to give the Republicans what they wanted l... |

| Cutting spending in a recession also is something that's not going to help the economy too much. The idea of a tax raise is a lot more palatable when you also know that taxes are at their lowest since around 1932, in addition to noting the increasing amount of economic stratification thats been sett... |

| First, sports riots are not big news, nor are they worse than ever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots Secondly, I'm in the camp that says that people were just rioting out of a sense of "lets just break everything because we can", not out of any sort of grievance towards anyone or an... |

| I'm personally hoping the Republicans rediscover the whole 'small-government' idea and drop the moral-guardian and oligarchy-supporting nonsense that they've been stuck at. Unfortunately, it looks like instead the Republicans are going to do exactly what the Democrats did after Dean lost to Bush; be... |

| Pseudo, your graph made me say a very angry word about six times in a row. I hope you're proud of making me rage. Anyways, I just have two things to throw in here. One, I find it interesting that an interpretation of constitutional law happens to be heavily polarized based on party affiliation. Of c... |

| I mean, if all the UAW wants is for employees to get paid regardless if it's productive for the economy or not then, like Psudo said, the government might as well just pay them to randomly dig holes or whatever... The money can just be used to pay people to do something more useful instead of worki... |

| Huge companies being granted huge sums of cash since they're 'too big to fail', companies, I may add, which had very active lobbyists? It's not corruption, it's just a bailout! :D I'm more or less engaging in blatant hearsay and hyperbole, but still. The lending corperations at least had the justifi... |

| I liked the message, but it's rather... odd in some areas. Just to take the most obvious bait, when the US supported Saddam, he was a thug, a tyrant, etc, and the US only supported him because the US disliked Iran. True enough. But when the US deposed him, it didn't depose him because he was a thug,... |

| Well, I think JJ's reasoning is that's another pairing of a naive newcomer with a seasoned insider. I don't know if this automatically warrants a comparison, but it's an interesting one, nonetheless. I worry about Obama choosing an insider as his running mate, though. I've read that Dean getting an ... |

| And yet, people in even worse straits have voted for freedom in the face of hard times. Japan, Germany, Italy, and many other war torn nations after WWII came down for democracy. The USA, Britain, France, and many other nations, during the depression when people were saying democracy was on the way ... |
