he's talking about infrastructure investment. and don't pull the old "the new deal didn't get us out of the depression" argument. if fdr wasn't trying to balance the budget, we would've been out of the depression by 1934.

bushlover, seems you're having a hard time removing those partisan lenses.

both of them were funny as hell. it's a testament to our democracy that we can do that. at the end of the day, we all have to work together and illegitimatizing elections and calling people terrorist-sympathizers, or dishonorable and warmongers. doesn't help.

the damage that would be done to constitutional interpretation as a result of a 6 or 7 conservative majority court would be disastrous...

the economic crisis happened one year into hoover's term, so you can't fault him entirely.

this one on the other hand, seven years into bush's term...

this is one of those places where i have no problem with 'judicial activism'. it would threaten the fabric of our democracy for the votes to not be counted on a technicality.

the whole socialism smear against taxation needs to stop if we're ever going to have a solid public debate on this.

as it is, democrats can't even say tax increases. it isn't a welfare state. and it's a shitload better than borrowing from china to pay for things that we need.

i am fine with paying taxes if my bridges aren't going to fall apart, and i'll be rescued if there's a natural disaster.

These responses show you just how many people on here are probably white dudes, who are spiteful of their inability to say these things.

Statements on lips (like... "n-gg-r lips" anyone?) are offensive, not just because someone said so. And the statement doesn't JUST refer to BO. For 200 years, the white majority has made comments like those about black people, demeaning their appearance, and this implicitly says that about all black people.

And it is not illegal. Most organizations simply do not want to be associated with it. You conservatives act like this was a First Amendment violation (for once, when it involves a white dude). You keep saying "the founding fathers intended this, or that," but fuck, they founded this country BEFORE emancipation and civil rights. I thought this country was founded on the ability to form a common consensus. Most people now believe certain statements are offensive. Welcome to the 21st century.

SHE MOCKED HABEAS CORPUS TO AN ENTIRE PARTY CONVENTION, AND THEY APPLAUDED.

seriously?

this has nothing to do with palin being a mother, but rather being in a situation where she's raising two children (hers with downs and her grandchild) in a state of family stress.

the same questions were asked of john edwards during his wife's cancer. and i maintain that there's nothing wrong with expecting both men and women in this situation to put family first.
