    Herman Cain

    Word. I have seen the same rumblings about Christie. I've always thought Romney would be the nominee unless one of the peripheral candidates like Giuliani or Huckabee went all out and gained initial support. Romney is pretty appealing to moderates as a safe alternative to Obama, and anything to...

    Capital Gains and the Top 0.1%

    And dare I say it - I would welcome my old chum Gardenweasel back, because he remains a visionary forum legend that always makes things interesting. Call me crazy - I do enjoy the quality diatribes - I do learn a lot about myself and ways to think about things. We have plenty of "smart" people...

    Capital Gains and the Top 0.1%

    With all due respect, this is a scintillating post. Nice work. For immediate future reference: Smurph, are you going to be consistently posting here now? If so, I will do my best to post more. I miss (very much) the cast of characters that really made political (and other) discussions/arguments...

    Capital Gains and the Top 0.1%

    There's something so precious in seeing someone who experiences white privilege every day of their lives (and doesn't have a clue what it really means) claim those who talk about it think that it means, "I hate whitey!" Especially when those who are said to say "I hate whitey" are also...

    Paul Vs. Gingrich on Patriot Act, Liberty, and Security

    "Judge" Napolitano is claiming he knows that most of the terror plots against our country are fabricated? Based on what? I see he is being held up as some kind of authority on this matter - based on what, exactly? In all seriousness, he has information that says 17 of 20 attacks were...

    $530 MILLION OBAMA SCAM WASN"T ENOUGH

    Sounds a lot like the packages tens or hundreds of employees other major corporations (investment-related, for one) got on their way out the door, except it is far less than what they got. Many of these guys/gals are now at the helm of new companies, repeating the process. Question - was this...

    Capital Gains and the Top 0.1%

    Perhaps if the Capital Gains tax rate was equal to other income taxes, those that currently hold so much of the money in this country would actually DO what many CLAIM they do to try to make more money. Put people to work - which most of them don't now, but many say they do. The capital gains...

    Why is election day not a national holiday?

    Let me say, that I don't understand why voters should not have to show an ID to be able to vote - I've never understood this "logic" against it. People died in an out of this country to protect our rights to vote - I don't think it's AT ALL out of line to require people to be properly identified...

    Great thread... :rolleyes:

    To the gang that hang in the Politics area>>>

    One thing I've always wanted to try to do - organize and run a sports-related camp of sorts for kids that are not athletes but want to get better at certain things. Make it really fun, yet try to make kids better in some things they'll have to participate in throughout high school and the rest...

    To the gang that hang in the Politics area>>>

    Lumi, as with most serious threads here, this one has resulted in little brainstorming. I've started a thread or two in the past about "the next big thing" to be ruined by a few. I have been SO busy over the past few weeks and will be for a few more. But if I think of something I will kick it in...

    60 Minutes: Members of Congress Get a Pass on Insider Trading

    What? CBS exposing Nancy Pelosi?!? What would Krauthammer say?!? :scared

    President's Cup

    I understand the home "field" advantage of the Internationals which will be big. But it seems to me that Couples will do more "coaching" in putting the right guys together in these matches, compared to Norman leaning towards putting countrymen together to be comfortable playing together. I...

    Golf Forum Recap

    Stanley, thanks for keeping track of this. I have not had any time to devote to golfing myself, or golf wagering for a couple years. Have done fine in fantasy golf. I hope to both play and wager golf next year, and will be active here.

    Interesting election results from Tuesday night

    I'm actually taking quite a bit of offense from your angle here Wayne, so I think I'll let this all drop. I have been quite well trained in how to present information in my classroom, and think I have a pretty fair head on my shoulders. I think it's funny how conservatives are so concerned about...

    Interesting election results from Tuesday night

    Funny how Little Johnny is hanging out in an online sports gambling website to get his school information, but I guess that must be a "Kentucky" thing. Sorry, Wayne, I thought this was an open forum for political discussions - I didn't know that I was going to be held to a higher standard for...

    Interesting election results from Tuesday night

    Sorry, I didn't see the other thread that had been talking about this (the first part, anyway). It's been a busy week.

    Interesting election results from Tuesday night

    Yeah, like "losing" ballots from parts of the state that are vastly democratic? Like that kind of "uncomplicated" result? :mj07: For the record, I have no problem with requiring a valid ID card to vote. I still don't see what the issue is with that. People have all year to obtain an ID card...

    Interesting election results from Tuesday night

    I'm guessing that had the vote in Ohio gone in favor backing Kasich and his crew that this story would have been posted on Tuesday night or Wednesday. As it didn't, I'll post it in case some of you missed some results. It appears that those who are predicting a conservative/tea party/anti-union...

    The EXPLOITATION NEVER ENDS

    Yeah, I can only imagine what your class would be like. Everyone who is not a teacher always thinks that being a teacher is easy, and most think teachers are overpaid. You are not licensed, have not gone through the process and pedagogy of how to teach ANYONE, and think you can do it because you...
