Former Alaska governor Palin says she will run for president in 2012 "if there is nobody else to do it"

[chuckd]

Hillary vs. Sarah. What a contrast! Genius vs. idiocy.

Hilary Clinton is an traitorous vile excuse for a human being, will do anything for power, is corrupt and is desperate for a war with Iran ... as stupid as Palin is at least she is human.

Besides it was Bills mates at Goldman Sachs who he put in power to deregulate the mortgage industry that has put your nation in the mess its never going to be able to get out of, with current spend spend spend policies.

Englander:

I have to agree with your assessment of Hillary.

Interestingly, Hillary's daughter, Chelsea, recently married a man named Marc Mezvinsky who is a multi-millionaire investment banker employed by the hedge fund 3G Capital Management. Formerly, he worked for Goldman Sachs.

Her new Father-in-law was a former US Congressman from Iowa who served seven years in prison for mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud.

Birds of a feather, so to speak?

If the R's (fueled by tea madness) take power this week, they will stop the very productive and important REGULATION of the banking and finance industries being worked on by Obama. Be careful what you wish for, teaheads.

She's no worse than most other politicians.

Craig:

This statement is hardly a ringing endorsement for her intelligence or her ethics.

For sure regarding her ethics. But what I meant is many politicians are power hungry and corrupt. That's pretty much true worldwide. And many are incredibly intelligent. We may not like her, but to end up in her spot, or as a senator, or a senior cabinet member...you have to be pretty dang sharp...but you can also be ruthless as well as corrupt. It's sad when elected officials who are suppose to help the people just put their snout in the public feed trough. Something has to change...but how and when is anyone's guess....

What does who Hillary's daughter married have to do with the price of beans? Bill Clinton isn't Henry the 8th; Chelsea married the man she fell in love with, plain and simple. It sounds like you may be some kind of conspiracy theorist.

I am about the last person you would want to confuse with a conspiracy theorist.

However, since you apparently can't read but one post at a time, here is the part of Englander's post I was referring to:

Taken out of context. However there is a good argument that the bold actions by both Bush and Obama did indeed prevent a severe global depression after the financial meltdown. Many economists agree, as do I, but you are free to disagree.

It was the Banks policy Bush and Obama just ok'd it, and all that would have happened would have been a few bad businesses went out of business their good assets would have been bought out by the cautious and the property market which keeps us proles in a lifes worth a debt would have properly crashed and housing would have become affordable.

What we've now got is the banks main assets aka property being propped up and kept artificially high by the taxpayer, with many of these dumbfux not being able to buy one of the little slave boxes.

But its an extreme socialist policy Jingthing so i can see why you think its so great.

You mean the people that caused the mess and became rich beyond the wildest dreams of 99.999% of the population are now being given the opportunity to fix the problem ... yet you call people who speak out and vote against this mad!

For you to come out with such name calling highlights why the average prole realises its your lot that are the true extremists. Your ability to see things from a slightly different standpoint is non existent.

After guiding Harvard U's endowment to a 1.9 billion $ loss in derivatives he certainly proved he was Obama's best choice for the country's chief financial advisor though.

I think he means the Dodd-Frank bill. The Dodd who got preferential loan treatment from the banking industry and the Frank who almost single handedly engineered the buying of every NINJA loan by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when not running his male prostitution ring.

The same place you got theyre racist and homophobes from.

But they question as to whether global warming is man made... its on a par as being a holocaust denier these days.

I think you don't understand American politics and you are being being ridiculous bringing holocaust denial into this.

Right wing Christian Americans (most teabaggers are that exactly) typically --

Think global warming is a hoax.

They are mostly White.

Hate Mexican immigrants.

Hate Muslims and think they are terrorists

Are afraid of black people having too much power and of course watch out for the "welfare queens"

Are social conservatives, meaning they are against equal marriage rights for gays and against women's right to choose

Some of course are anti-semitic, but the majority support Israel, there is no significant number of people in the USA who are holocaust deniers, except for some neo-Nazis. Holocaust denying is just not a real issue in the US. Americans who know anything about history of course are proud that we kicked Nazi butt in the big war.

I am aware of all the things the liberals accuse them of to demonise them, hence I was exaggerating to highlight a point.

Though if they are as bad as what your kind say, im curious to know what the same ilk think of Obama who has added 5 trillion dollars worth of debt in a short period of time, surely actually doing something to the detriment of a country is worse then what you imagine goes on in peoples minds!

Jingthing, I think you very much exaggerate Tea Party philosophy. I think you could simplify it by saying that they believe the majority of all US economic and social problems can be cured by a realignment of values that they see as core to the essence of America. This is delusional. It is an all gain no sacrifice ideal. That is the appeal.

The reality is the US has to make hard choices - defense or medicare? disenfranchised or welfare? Low taxes and full employment is simply a wet dream.

These kind of blatant lies and silly exaggerations about the vast majority of folks involved in the Tea Party are just some of the reasons that the democrats are going to get their butts kicked in a big way in a few days. A lot of stupid policy decisions are some of the other reasons.

Obama didn't have much choice. Either add debt or throw the world into a (bigger) economic meltdown. He did the right thing...but it hurts for sure.

Now the painful part starts, just like in England, cuts have to be made. It will be interesting to see what they do about this...

[geriatrickid]

And still no comment on the source of the Tea Party movement funds. Hello? The Koch billionaire brothers and their underwriting of the Tea Party movement? Hello? The group claims it is against corruption, big government, subsidies etc. And yet, a big conglomorate that makes its profits from undertaking all of the activities the current US administration is trying to rein in is a key source of funding. The Tea Party is a front for the same people that brought you the Wall Street fiasco and that are opposed to anything remotely involving a reduction of pollution and the US carbon footprint.

[ExpatJ]

"But they question as to whether global warming is man made... its on a par as being a holocaust denier these days."

Questioning whether globl warming is man made is fine. But once you have reviewed the issue and seen the evidence, the question then is- do they still question the abundant evidence or still deny it. Most of them still deny it which doesnt make them equal to holocaust deniers, but it does make them abit stoopid.

(I happen to have reviewed this issue last week for myself and the scientific concensus is that there is a 90% propobabilty that it is mostly man made over last 50 years).

It will certainly help, not many are inspired to go out and work that bit harder or to open a business when theyre giving upto half of it to the govt ... red tape in the west has to be slashed to help business take off and compete.

I believe youve got a business here, if they had the high taxes and rules and regulations in Thailand as they do in the UK im sure youd have had to think longer and harder as to whether it is worth it.
