21st Century Paul:
audi:
The choice is simple: You can support the side that makes focused efforts to stabilize the economy -- and has. Or you can support the side that has repeatedly screwed up the economy.
Not true, you can also choose not to support either of these 2 sides.
Like I do, for instance. Also you can choose to support BOTH of these 2 sides. Like big corporations do, for instance.
You're right on your last point.
It's true, though I know many don't like to hear it and don't like to believe it.

well humankind has the habit of "shooting itself in the feet", you know. You, me and everybody. We do many things against ourselves, but we do it anyway.

C'mom people, there is another choice: Libertarians. Less state Smaller government Individual freedom Free market Freewill!
social darwinism. I'm unpopular so that don't sit right with me. and insurance companies running things during disasters (told to me by a libertarian at a rally.) That view point is actually stupid.

I just don't want to talk about it much. But the Spain's story didn't finished at all with the 100000 millions. Now the talk is kind of a loan for Spain and Italy (yes, Italy already, next will be France). Something like 450000 millions. A poker all-in. And anyway it's not enough money... BUT it seems the ways are changing or starting to change or starting to look like they try to change... For instance, this 450000 milion thing would not be like the ones to Ireland, Greece, Portugal, South America, Africa, Asia... Not a loan to the nations but the possibility for the nations to use that to sell their debts. Yes, it's the kind of the same in the end... But it's not exactly "Same old over and over". That's over. I mean this little difference can mean the start of a solution, or at least the start of trying to find a solution on time.

Should Obama make a PETA video about why you shouldn't eat dogs?

Maybe he could voice artistic approval of a picture of himself combined with Richard Nixon (Executive Priviledge _ Fast & Furious) ?? ... seek and you might find

This is an expansion of Bush's program. And, by the way, most Americans aren't buyin' the b.s. regarding this issue.

what's wrong with eating dogs? Torturing them is what Romney did.

eating dogs, cows, and pigs=same. Strapping them to the roof of a traveling car=abuse

And if the Germany vs Greece match on the Eurocup wasn't symbolic and morbid enough... Merkel will attend the match in person! She could "advise" ("order" really) the Greeks to lose at anytime...

One of the rare occassions when I disagree with The Daily Show's Jon Stewart. He's jabbing the Democrats for being hypocrites, supporting the President's recent use of Executive Privilege in the GOP's unquestionable witch-hunt of Attorney General Eric Holder. In 2007, when Obama criticized George W. Bush's use of Executive Privilege -- which was clearly his method of protecting his cabinet's treasonous acts* -- Obama's issue was the abuse of that privilege. Bush used it eight times or something like that. Clinton used it 14 times! Obama? Once. Jon Stewart got this one wrong. I guess he's become bored with constantly busting FIXED NEWS on using footage from one rally as coverage for another, totally unrelate event. Jon Stewart Mocks Democrats' Hypocrisy Over Fast And Furious Executive Privilege Ruling (VIDEO): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/22/jon-stewart-mocks-democrats-hypocrisy-daily-show-video_n_1618651.html *=remember that whole outing a C.I.A. agent thing?

Mitt Romney opened the door for attacks on Bain Capital's history of outsourcing American jobs. \http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/22/romney-outsourcing-bain/?section=magazines_fortune "It should be interesting to see how the Romney campaign responds, particularly if someone is able to ask the candidate for the number of U.S. jobs that were outsourced by Bain Capital portfolio companies during Romney's tenure. After all, he must have that number if he's so sure about 100,000 jobs being created."

Avoidance of the facts ... Obama did not have to liken himself to Nixon But he did Nixon used Exective Privilege in attempt to cover up Watergate (and/or at least protect those who did the breaking in). Now Obama is using the same to cover up Fast & Furious and/or protect the A.G. from any connection to a U.S. citizens murder by a weapon from the "program". He has now joined himself by hip to Fast & Furious & as a result completely likening himself to Richard Nixon (with the except a murder is much more serious crime than a break-in and theft)
A cover-up is a cover-up

You know that some think that "they're news only if they're bad news", I'm not one of them Historical agreement yesterday in Europe. Most (not all) of the EU countries have agreed to apply the Tobin Tax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobin_tax better late than ever.
