If we were still on the gold standard gas would cost like 70 cents. And minimum wage would probably be like 3 bucks. lol There would probably be a lot less money floating about which would either create stable or deflating prices. Deflating prices are bad for your common borrower, but good for people on fixed incomes. It's a double edged sword, don't forget why attempts were made to get off the gold standard in the first place.

I think its more that they don't like to call it marriage, due to the fact that traditionally "marriage" was carried out in the church with really no government aspects to it. Granted this was a very long time ago, but i think that is their main qualm about it. I don't think most people are opposed to giving same sex couples all the same rights and tax benefits (penalties) associated with marriage... just not using the term marriage. Thats what ive gotten from most people i talk to, personally i couldn't care less if they get married or not.

1) he wants out of Iraq/Afghanistan ASAP 2) he wants the deficit repaid 3) he would attempt to cut lots (most?) government spending (which simply would never make it past congress) 4) he would lower tax rates accordingly (you know, after the deficit is paid off) 5) various other social issues I doubt most of the things he would want would actually get passed. The only thing i don't agree with him on is that if he had it his way he would literally just up and leave Iraq the first day he was president, which i feel, given the situation, would be irresponsible for America to do so.

One could make arguments either way. Besides, i think Al Gore is the epitome of "Do what i say, not what i do."

Ron Paul is a Libertarian. Libertarians are extremely fiscally conservative and socially liberal (well they also support gun ownership, which is a liberal notion, but the modern liberal's seem to disregard this liberty). Libertarians believe in small government, which in the traditional meaning of conservative fits. What it doesn't fit is the modern definition of conservative. Ron Paul is a businessman and has been calling for reform on Fannie and Freddie for a while now. He is usually very good about predicting economic stuff. He would certainly make a good president when it came to the economy. Being a libertarian he is also non-interventionist when it pertains to foreign policy. He is not really radical, hes just very traditional.

Heh, what about poor old George Obama, Obama's half brother. He's 26, lives in Kenya. Has a lovely 6'x10' shack. I mean, sure the man may never have been very close to Obama (considering hes like half the age of Obama and im sure never met the chap until he was older), but still, when the man lives on like $1 a day or whatever it is, even cutting him a check for $100 every once in a while would be huge to him. At the very least, it would look good to the media. On the flip side, if this was McCain who had the half brother, the media would be all over him as uncompassionate etc etc.

Tis a sad day.

I think the president/congress/American people should take this insight to heart 90% of the time.

While nominally Hillary Duff sucks, i do like some of her songs. But Miley Cyrus is just terrible, and she like steals song and beats.

Well its because pretty girls don't want to be upstaged by their friends! Not that i would consider Lohan to be hot anymore. And how on earth could you agree with what i said? I didn't even remotely make sense.

It's not. Thats why a lot of publications have been panning both of them through this whole thing.

You know, homosexuality was very popular among the ruling elite in Rome before the empire fell. That and families not having enough kids to sustain populations. Then the barbarians took over. Then they organized and became christians. Then the french fought the british for a few centures and we had a few crusades against the middle east and then some lame guy named napoleon took over most of europe then there was WW1 and WW2 and korea and Vietnam and Iraq I and Iraq II. SO, clearly, it is the fault of homosexuality that the Iraq II war happened. I can also link them through this method to anything else going on today. My logic is flawless. Lindsey should be ashamed... but im glad she picked an unattractive girl... cause that leaves more decent looking ones for moi.

It sounds as if this bill is going to get sent through. It's a shame it had to come to this though. Besides, its poor leadership to go around telling people how bad it is. That's all Bush has done. Obama is terrible when it comes to reassuring people about the economy. You dont go around saying "this is the worst crisis since the depression". you come out saying "Well, times are tough, but i see potential" thats essentially what FDR said during the depression. If you go around telling people "oh my god things are terrible, you should be scared, things are just awful" then people loose even more confidence and things get even worse.
