A guy like Bernie Sanders could seriously hurt him in a primary if he tried. The dems are just happy to keep their name on the white house, even if the guy there is a big business republican in democrat clothing. Bernie Sanders isn't going to challenge Obama for the nomination. Period. The "right" comes up with the birther **** because the base of the GOP is composed of racist leftovers from the Southern Strategy days. The righties down at the bottom of the intellectual scale are easy to manipulate by the Trumps, the Palins, et cetera. Look at who the birthers *here* have been...the intellectual ciphers who couldn't get into an open admissions community college. I just picked Sanders because he seems to be the moral left of your party. I am not sure who else would qualify. That was my point. When you have neocons like Hillary and Schumer in leadership positions it is hard to tell the difference between democrats and republicans if you don't look at the superficial diversions. Obama has even ducked the guns and god issues so you are really only left with abortion and gays. They may bring out emotional responses on both sides but nobody is going to say either of them is what brought down the republic. I think the real power brokers are so happy with the way things are going they are not really interested in beating Obama so they keep sending clowns like Trump and Palin to the front of the pack. That is why I say he may be the most vulnerable from the left ... if the left actually wanted change. In that regard you might actually find someone from the Libertarian side of the world who could rally the people who want to see something change. I really think the debt is going to shrink the size and scope of government so you will not have that one to fight about. In social issues you are probably closer to Ron Paul than you are to most democrats and he is on the kooky side of libertarian. Even with that Chris Matthews says he agrees with the Paul foreign policy. There's no way I could support libertarians like the Pauls who oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it places human rights ahead of property rights. And, while I find Ron Paul charming if uninformed on many significant issues, I think his son Rand is bat**** crazy, and totally without charm. Further, I favor a single payer system. So, which libertarian should I support? :) Why don't you just say you are a selfish envious ******* that believes everyone should have nothing because you have nothing and botched your life. Or, can we Obamasize government and Obama-debt so my grandkids can pay for my sorry ass with interest. You don't want your kids to have a chance at economic freedom because you worship government like a god. Hey, maybe you want to submit to statism, you should have gone to an Islamic country. Try Ron Paul, give the children a chance at life without government taking 60% of their check for losers that can't manage their lives. Time to let darwin teach some lessons. You make no more sense than our little uneducated bigot, Snotty Ingersoll. Ron Paul...what a joke. |

Shows the union corruption. amount of money unions took out of the US economy in the last 3 years: zero amount wall street did? 10 trillion. Most of that money never existed in the first place. It was created out of thin air by Wall Street to fund the housing market and the construction unions got plenty of that money. The problem wasn't where the money went, it was what happened when the people who bought that paper and actually thought it was real, tried to cash it in. The Wall Street money was real for plenty. Speculative investments are just that. No guarantees. But many did well and continue to do so. You'll note that the DOW is near previous highs. And real estate has always been speculative. Plenty flipped houses and made out like bandits. Others, many who simply wanted a home to live in, bought a tulip future. It is a similar situation with the SS bonds. Government backed securities are guaranteed. It is the soundest investment, because the government can levy taxes and print money. And they certainly care about their reputation, so they won't default. Besides, for public debt, they have the voters to contend with. Here's a readable pdf of government debt. http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/r...opdm042011.pdf BTW, just using common sense, if SS benefits are reduced, what money will replace it? For those who who have no other funds, they will go on some form of public aid, food stamps, etc, maybe populate gullies and culverts with homeless old people. Either taxes will be raised or social unrest will ensue. But what of all those who own Wall Street securities or financial institute CD's? They'll cash out. No other choice. It would be the biggest run on stocks and banks since the depression, but drawn out for years and years. So even Wall Street doesn't want SS cut, certainly not for those who are more likely to cash in securities to replace the lost income. They will mitigate for higher payroll and income taxes, but try to protect capital gains and SS benefits. And Wall Street is well represented in the government. You're barking up the wrong tree. |
