Would the country be better off to give Bush a 3rd term, or to let Obama, Clinton, or McCain try?
Hillary is running for her 3rd term. Why not Bush? 12%  12%  [ 4 ]
I would rather be the devil's towel boy than have Bush in office for 4 more years. 39%  39%  [ 13 ]
Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all more competent than Bush (cough) 42%  42%  [ 14 ]
If only we had had Adolf Hitler in the White House these past 8 years! ...mumblemumblemumble... 6%  6%  [ 2 ]
Total votes : 33

Ragtime reminds me of Andrew Schlafly. In fact, he reminds me of Conservapedia in general.

Oh geez, I did it again! Yet another liberal man I thought was a woman.

I just checked your profile to make sure, and found out you're male.
(Some women spell their names "Dean", pronounced "Dee-ANN".)

I did the same thing with Sand; I only discovered yesterday that he was not a woman, and to my shock,
because he mentioned his military service, which caused me to view his profile.
For literally a whole year, I assumed by the way he wrote that he was female.
And there have been others, too. Why is it always the liberal guys whom I assume are girls?!

I call something a recession at the point at which I notice at least some changes in the prices of my rent, my food, my clothing, and other general goods and services our economy sustains. And minor changes, I'd called a downturn.

Other than gas, which price is controlled by OPEC, nothing in my life has gone up in price. You'd think something would have, if we were in a recession. :lol: I mean, seriously, if you don't even notice the recession, and you're poor, it's probably not there! :lol:


I see, so the fact the Fed is cutting interest rates like there is no tomorrow and the government's debt is mushrooming has absolutely nothing to do with the performance of the economy.

How many times have you read a headline mentioning economists' "surprise" at recent American economic growth??


Haven't see any, really. Could you link to some?

Quote:
They have to say that America's economic health "surprised" them in order to keep their jobs
as economists, because they're always unfoundedly predicting doom and gloom. Then, when the doom doesn't happen,
they have to backtrack, "shocked", and pretend it was a glitch of some sort or other. Nonsense! The economy is doing fine, but such news does not sell newspapers and magazines like Time and Newsweek, which are purely entertainment industries now.


So the Economist is an alarmist entertainment magazine? Could have fooled me. They should really fire their writing staff - all those numbers and statistics supporting what they say must just be filler. :roll:


And you still haven't countered any of my real points :P
