Why do you immediately jump to cheap shots when faced with an argument? It would be a lot more effective if you presented evidence that outcome based learning is effective. Obviously the ACT scores are a reflection of the education system; i.e. outcome based, no child left behind, whatever you wanna call it. If roughly half aren't ready for college, doesn't that say something profound about effectiveness? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

The Republicans created the financial crisis

Just curious as to who you mean by house buyers. Those who bought many houses for investment or anyone who bought a house? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. -
Pretty sure he also said elementary school teachers. It was an example. There are shitbags in every walk of life. That was his point. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Yes, its a symbol of respect for your country and people's sacrifices to protect it (like the greatest generation which you claim to idolize). You imply the same people who stand up for the anthem are the ones who elect republicans? They sang the anthem at the DNC and everyone stood with their hand on their heart. Someone who stands for the flag isn't a super-patriot. You act like this is some weird tradition created last week by neo-cons. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

From the same video.... First 45 seconds... "... that he is willing to send our toops into another 100 years of war in Iraq..." "...we are bogged down in a war that John McCain says may go on for another 100 years..." -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Maybe. But bet your ass they would stand up for the anthem. That was my point. It doesn't matter what your political views are. Get up and put your hand over your heart. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

ok. sorry. i meant fairly. That's not what Obama claims he's going to do. Tax cuts for 95% and hikes for the wealthy. That's not an equal percentage with poverty offset. What is your cut off for the poverty line? And punishes them for being successful. They deserve to have whatever quality of life they want without funding the country's budget. It also goes against what you said about a flat percentage with a poverty offset. In terms of economic stimulus, it's better to give tax breaks to those with money because they spend it. They expand businessses and create jobs. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Try to put together a reasonable argument. This doesn't even make sense. PERCENTAGE. Dude, please read the entire response before planning a cheap shot. Reference next statment. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.An equal percentage would still constitute the well-off paying more. It's still more fair. I await a valid argument for the "rich" paying a higher percentage. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

You should stretch before a leap like that. Speculators have a lot to do with gas prices. True. Shorting should be outlawed. Totally different argument. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

That was my first post in the thread. You're out to lunch again. PITA took a good concept and turned it to shit. Shoot whatever is in season. Eat what you kill. Simple enough, really. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
-
So... Obama being a senator has relevance to eating what you kill. Got it. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

The bank robber? How appropriate. He's famous for saying "that's where the money is." Seriously? -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Read before you respond. Never, anywhere, did I say make anyone pay the bulk. I said all should pay equally. I know that concept is beyond comprehension, but try just for a second. An equal percentage would still constitute the well-off paying more. It's still more fair. I await a valid argument for the "rich" paying a higher percentage. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
-
Couldn't agree more. The problem is that you want the successful to pay the bulk. Why not have everyone pay an equal percentage? Wouldn't that be the most fair? Obviously that wouldn't work because all of the gimme-gimme projects wouldn't be properly funded. Answer. Stop the gimme-gimme projects. Tax everyone equally. Hence, the more successful you are, the more you make. As opposed to your plan of the more successful you are, the more you cough up for everyone else. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Bush ordering the printing of new currency to pay neo-con debt

Equally as mind numbing. Democratic foreign relations plan. http://www.flickr.com/photos/allisology/873861806/ Look. I can google funny pictures, too. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life. -
McCain, nor any other person in the country (repub or dem) has said the support a 100 year war. No one said he wanted a 100 year war. Obama said that he was willing to send the troops into another 100 years of war, which both McCain and right wingers here agree with, These two sentences, back to back, contradict each other. No one said he wanted a 100 year war except Obama. McCain didn't say it. No conservative has ever said it. Here... listen to the first 45 seconds of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPYBL1DkQDI Obama claims that McCain said he wants to send our troops into another 100 years of war into Iraq. It's just fucking false. There's ZERO truth in that. It's a total twist by the left and there's no way to dispute it. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Yeah. Then we could all make everything equal and hold hands. That way the successful could share with the unsuccessful. People would be happy on all levels and be motivated to work for the greater good. It'll be perfect. We'll work out just like the Soviet Union. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Typical. Retreat into the fetal position and edit my post accordingly. True or false. The dems critisize the Republican VP's experience while nominating Obama for President. True or false. I said Palin is not ready for President and neither is Obama. True or false. I never said anything about sex or race and it was brought up entirely by you. True or false. I directly adressed your claim that both sides see Palin as a presidential candidate (even though she's running as VP) and you turned in into a race and sex issue. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Depends on the company, stock, and stipulations. Upstick or even is typically standard for a short. It just depends on who's buying and who's lending. Not sure who would lend stocks for a short if the company is falling. Bad plan on their part. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

It's all part of the game. Like betting on the Don't Come line. It's not great karma, but if you're the only one at the table making money then you're winning. Your statements implicates dishonestly. Shorting stocks is not, in any way, dishonest. Spreading rumors, telling lies, and manipulating the market is entirely different. Shorting stocks had nothing to do with Lehman Brothers and AIG imploding. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

funny to see a left winger bad mouthing nationalization. how dare our money go to fuckers we don't know. would federal health insurance fall under 'fuckers we don't know?' -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Neither does anyone on the Dem ticket. Quit trying to pointing fingers. An argument only works if it works one direction. you can't claim palin is inexperienced while saying Obama is. Just doesn't work. >If you take it as an argument against McCain then it's also an argument against >the entire Dem ticket. I'm not doing the "X is better than Y" thing. I am talking about why everyone (on both sides) is seeing Palin as a presidential rather than a vice presidential candidate. Only the dems are trying to claim she isn't ready to be president. I agree. Which is why she's VP. Obama isn't ready to be president either. The difference being that Palin is not running for president and Obama is. Dems refuse to acknowledge that fact because they realize Palin and Obama are about equal as far as experience goes. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
-
Dude, that statement without any video evidence is completely condratictory. "he is willing to send our troops into another 100 years of war in Iraq," but you don't see anything that says McCain wants 100 years of war?? Those are your own quotes, man. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
-
Agreed. I was disputing your article. Hagel said Palin wasn't ready. Ok, thanks for the opinion. Binden, the VP candidate, said his own running mate isn't ready and he'd rather be with McCain. There will always be someone who doesn't like one of the candidates. It's hard to call out the other party on it when your VP talked bad about the P. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
-
She said presidential elections. Which is what this is. She brings more to the ticket because people see that governor experience as a good thing. If you take it as an argument against McCain then it's also an argument against the entire Dem ticket. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.
