Yeah but the problem is, its easy to point out a problem, hard as fuck to offer a solution and he's not doing that. Only telling us the solutions offered won't fix the problems they cause.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Also, as a Pittsburgher, try to incorporate the Steelers logo into what you're wearing somehow. It'll automatically give you 50 points with anyone you're talking to :P
I'm not actually a Pittsburgher, I'm just here for school so I don't have any Steeler stuff yet. I'm originally from Texas, and I'm pretty excited to think that I can vote in a state where my vote might actually matter.
I will save all of you from having to read Pat Buchanan or World Net Daily, but I thought the final paragraph would be appreciated here:
What the Greatest Generation handed down to us – the richest, most powerful, most self-sufficient republic in history, with the highest standard of living any nation had ever achieved – the baby boomers, oblivious and self-indulgent to the end, have frittered away.
Pat-freaking-Buchanan.
Also, I admit to laughing at a new slogan on fark: "The fundamentals of our economy are fungible."
I read the article and agree with Buchanan on some points, but he also seems like he's screaming the sky is falling and blaming all the younger generations and not just the boomers.
Are we sure that when he says 'baby boomers' he doesn't secretly mean 'jews?'
Are we sure that when he says 'baby boomers' he doesn't secretly mean 'jews?'
And a horrible TotP
No he means boomers, but also jews because he blames the financial elite as well. Again he's doing the limbaugh thing. Calling out all the problems, offering dick diddly for solutions. "Well you boys are fucked hyuck" its like "Ok pat we're screwed your in charge what the fuck do we do?"

CNN Lady: McCain has given specifics on how to fix this Obama has not. Why not?
Obama Guy: McCain's plan it ten lines long. It looks like it came out of a fortune cookie. Obama has a six point plan. Point one is...[talks for a minute], Point two is...
CNN Lady: Ok I have to cut you off, we re out of time.
Obama Guy: Ok well you wanted specifics so I'm giving them to you.
I want a [strike]conservative[/strike] Republican to answer something for me: When is it ok to raise taxes?
Republicans hate to raise taxes and love to cut them. And cutting taxes is a useful tool. But you cannot keep cutting taxes and never raising them, that way leads to the government having no income to pay for stuff like roads, police, and hookers.
The answer to my question is "When Democrats get into office", isn't it?
The Greatest Generation: rich and self-sufficient?
Wasnt that the era of The New Deal, the advent of social security and the introduction of things like Glass-Steagle?
They came of age during the Depression, yes. It's kind of difficult to blame an economic collapse on 17 year olds, though. Similar to how we (ignoring old fogeys like Will and Jeffe) aren't really in a position of power right now, but in 10-20 years will rule the world.
Is someone kind enough to give me a quick rundown on why the economy is failing so hard? It's like, people take out crazy loans from banks--> banks package these loans into high risk securities and sell them off--> people can't afford their loans and default--> everyone gets fucked.
The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

Everyone bought some of those loan packages, and nobody knows which ones are good and which ones are shit. Because of that, nobody really knows who is rich and who's pretending to be rich while they darn their socks by candlelight. In light of nobody knowing what the hell is going on, nobody wants to give anybody else any money, because how the hell do we know they can pay us back? Without any cash flow going to help allow business to occur, everything goes to hell.

Ah, figured you might have some if you were up there. I was born in Pittsburgh, and trust me - easiest way in the world to win points around there.

I got polled again. Mostly the same questions about Obama/McCain and Biden/Palin, except a lot more about the economy and how I feel about the government bailing out insurance companies and such.

I've only ever been polled once. It's kind of heartening. As if my opinions are statistically desirable.

Then again, I only have a cell phone. With an IL phone number. In TX. So I guess I'm not likely to be polled, either.
"I voted to ban the practice of 'fetal farming,' making it a federal crime for researchers to use cells or fetal tissue from an embryo created for research purposes," McCain said in a statement Monday in response to questions posed by ScienceDebate2008, a nonpartisan science advocacy group.
That McCain would oppose experimentation on embryos fits with his political record. Outside of tolerating Roe v. Wade as a means to avoid unsafe abortions during his 2000 run for president, he's been staunchly opposed to abortion, though conservatives worried during earlier stages of McCain's campaign that he would adopt a pro-choice platform.
The vote mentioned in his statement came on the Fetal Farming Act of 2006, signed into law by President Bush. But though the bill was unanimously approved in the House and Senate, its sponsors were criticized for failing to make clear that "fetal farming" doesn't exist.
I love it when people spend time banning shit that doesn't exist.

You know how when you go to the fair and all the crappy stuff there costs about 200% more than it would anywhere else?
It's like that, only applied to the entire country.
The IDEA is that those who buy more will pay more tax in the long run.
In practice it winds up destroying the lives of everyone and everything you ever loved.

Not really. From seeing the trailer and reading the loltastic script it's just going to come off as a terrible comedy. Remember Farenheit 9/11?

Yeah it also reinforces what the right already thinks of the left. Honestly Oliver Stone is a hack.

Thankfully no. How could anyone actually bring themselves to give up perfectly good money to go watch a Michael Moore film?
Who cares? Fireworks!
Moore hit on the right sentiment from a segment of the populace that felt ignored (mainly liberal thinking young people).

I'll cede the 'liberal' and I can give you the 'young people,' but 'thinking?' Sir, you go too far.

I thought his healthcare one was pretty dece.
SO, with the whole troopergate investigation, how is it that Palins whole staff and family can basically refuse to appear? How is that legal at all?
but they're listening to every word I say

The people who tend to lionize the Great Generation tend to also reject the things the Great Generation actually did.
When the fuck did he write that?

Yesterday or today.
Johnson's 'Great Society,' and a majority of all the infrastructure that we still use today. Think about that for a minute, then quake with fear.

I...I mean fuck.
So in a week that showed the republicans lose all support and their poll numbers hit new lows off their convention bounce the democrats lost... RIGHT!
