  • Having repeated Hoover's bubble economy of the 20's and having repeated Hoover's resounding loss to FDR in '32, our Brave New Tea Party is attempting to repeat the Repub strategy of 1937 which sent a recovering economy back into the second half of the Depression.

  • Libertarians are such fanatic ideologues, that NOTHING will get in their way to power, eventhe truth and the law. Well, there I have disagree. Logic and common sense on the part of the American electorate will leave Libertarians on the fringe. Which is where they belong.

  • You know, I've seen so many disastrous marriages among my friends and family. Men marryng Trophy Wives 25-30 years younger than them. Women transparently marrying a man for his money. Arranged marriages between people who had pretty much zero attraction to one another.

• A slo-mo evolution for Obama on gay marriage

• A slo-mo evolution for Obama on gay marriage

  • Actually, I have some sympathy for anyone whose views on gay marriage are "evolving" because my own views have evolved too. I used to think that civil union should be fine. It would eliminate tax hassles, allow for hospital visitation rights etc etc.

• Poll shows Obama increasing lead over Romney, helped by independents

  Tue May 8, 2012
  • Carl [& Others] - All that the polls at this point indicate are the direction that things are trending, not the November outcome. Some interpretation is definitely necessary, but that doesn't mean the polls are meaningless. Oversimplification almost always leads to faulty conclusions.

  • I think the popular vote will be Obama by 2 to 4% but the Electoral College will be his by a significantly wider margin. And yeah, i think we should get rid of the Electoral College, but that's how it's done now.
