Same, its all meant to turn the large democratic learners from voting because they know the republican zealots will always vote. | ||

The economy is far too complex for too-clever-by-half technocrats even when well-intentioned, which is in fact rarely the case. | ||

Under Mccain US debt will increase or decrease by a maximum of 10% Under Obama it will decrease with 50% or more. | ||

Excuse me? If you didn't understand what I said, you could have simply told me that I wrote in a too-confusing manner and that you aren't sure what I'm trying to get at. Instead, you are pretending to know what I said better than I do! But it is to be expected, since totalitarian leftist thugs like you aren't interested in actual conversation. | ||

The source said it was probably the "hardest" to get her "up to speed than any candidate in history."I think you are operating under the assumption that both parties want what's best for the country and all of its citizens - as opposed to any noncitizen or only certain subgroups of its citizens. If that were the case, it would be reasonable to conclude that, in the absence of further information, you can't go wrong with the most intelligent-seeming candidate. Having said that, it is true that Sarah Palin's debut on the national stage was either premature or grossly mishandled by the McCain campaign -- even taking into account the savage treatment from the mainstream media. I wouldn't attribute any of this to Palin's intelligence, of which we simply don't have a very good idea right now (other than the fact that she's no genius). That's a major indictment. | ||

That's interesting, but not conclusive because a) we don't even know who the quote is from and in what context it was said, and b) now that McCain's coming defeat is obvious to all, we are starting to see the scapegoating in the McCain camp that I suspect we will get much more of in the weeks to come. | ||

Translation: McCain has more principle and common sense than Obama because HnR)hT said so. HnR)hT thinks it is preposterous for a president to seek advice from the scientific community. You know, maybe you're right! The Bible and Sarah Palin have all the answers. | ||

Translation: Let's reinterpret what hT says to mean something that has nothing whatsoever to do with what he actually says. Did I say anything favorable about McCain anywhere? The context here is this: I am responding to the claim that Palin's supposed lack of knowledge about the technical details of that dreadful bailout package, and about the inner workings of the Washington-Wall Street axis, is necessarily such a bad thing. | ||

But that would be a very positive sign http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/03/opinion/main4317760.shtml I think Goolsbee is more of a behavioral economist than a typical UC thinker, but Furman is definitely in that camp. I think he'll be pulling a lot of people from the two places he's most familiar with: Harvard and UC. I don't expect any Senators to be pulled. | ||
