seriously it comes down to SELF INTEREST groups and how is most PUPPETED by them. REplublicans are much more interested in big business, than the benefits of the people. That is not a conspiracy theory.
Mccain will step up in the shoes of benefiting big business, oil companies, and all the people who voted for bush last term will be thinking the same thing two years from now that they made a mistake just like the do now. [/quote]
Who voted for Bush? I voted against the other guy.
2 years ago when people voted the Republicans out of congress, it wasn’t because they wanted Democrats. It was because the Republicans were acting like Democrats, so what was the point in voting for them?
That is exactly the sentiment I heard from many conservatives, but not what the media spun.[quote]
But its even worse, DO you actually think that PALIN is gonna have any power? she will just sit back and do charity work while MCCAIN plays war games. [/quote]
You sure are all over the map here. She will have a little power, as the tie breaker for some votes. Everyone should know this.[quote]
OUR ECONOMY will suffer, oil will sky rocket , we will be in iraq for ten more years. HE will feed bush’s companies, and halburton. [/quote]
I thought this wasn’t supposed to be a conspiracy theory, but that is exactly what you are pushing. For some reason he wants to make some other guys businesses, that he has no interest in, wealthy. Yeah, right.[quote]
BUY remember we got to protect ourselves from terrorists right?[/quote]
Uh, yeah. Actually we do.
7000 people a year die from aspirin reactions, the fourth leading cause of death in the united states is pharmacalogical drug interaction. [/quote]
So your saying the deaths we have experienced in Iraq are tiny compared to aspirin deaths? Great point.[quote]
TERRORISTS? try nothing in the last seven years? HAVE FUN BELIEVING THE PRESS![/quote]
Yes, our government did a great job of stopping terrorist plots here in the USA. As of last year our government has prevented at least 19 terrorist plots against America.[quote]
foreigner ? stupid? im American, but I believe the economy needs to have all that war money pumped into education, thus balancing out the divide between the rich and the poor. ThatS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS ECONOMY.[/quote]
Why can’t we do both? Anyway you do know they haven’t found any link to the amount of money spent on education, and it’s benefits don’t you? In fact some of the less funded schools seem to be doing better then the more funded ones.
Although the whole idea of throwing money at a problem to solve it is not a good one. (A completely liberal idea if you really want to know.) We need to find solutions to problems, not just think that pumping money into something makes it better.
(Am I getting off topic?) Here is an example. Many businesses actually fail because they have too much money, believe it or not. They run into a problem, and finance it away instead of solving it. Companies that don’t have the money to do that are more likely to find creative ways around that problem, and as a result find better, more efficient ways to get the same results.
Similarly, if you read the research published in the Millionaire Next Door, you find that there is an inverse relationship between a person receiving financial help, and success. Everyone thinks having rich parents helping out their kids makes them lucky when in fact it has the opposite effect.
I would love for intelligent financial education to become part of our schools curriculum, but the side effect is that it would result in a new generation that understands money enough that suddenly the Democrats ideas no longer make sense to anyone. That would devastate that party. (And is probably why it’s not there.)
