Great news, how about 100%?

Can someone tell me how we are going to get 600 billion dollars worth of benefit out of Iraq? It was a stupid investment based on that alone. We should have gone after Al-qaeda and called it good when we brought them to justice. Remaking the Middle East is a deluded dream.

I know his voting record. He votes no against practically everything because he believes in a small federal government. These bills that he votes against can and should be solved at the state level. It's the constitutional approach. Besides, how can they not be solved better at the state...

That's exactly why I'm voting for him. Except that he's not an isolationist. He's a non-interventionist. There's a huge difference.

Can I respond to the allegations that he is a crank by asking you to read his speech before Congress entitled A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Can I offer an analogy as to why what Congressman Paul said is not blaming America first? It's not anti-american. It's honest. If I were to go out and have an affair with another man's wife and he got really mad and shot me for it, would it be fair to say that I definitely contributed to his...

On the blogs, I've noticed a lot of positive Democrat support. Ron's message of traditional conservatism resonates big time.

What does he tow the liberal line on?

As for communism being a heartbeat away because shareholders are more important than workers, that's not true. The converse "should" apply in communism. In communism, the attention is paid to making things better for the "little guy" but of course, in practice it really hurts the worker and...

Well I've thought about your question for a bit and right now I'm not sure I can compare the two businesses being they are radically different business models except that they are both retailers and they both offer discounted prices to their customers. Aside from that, they are quite different...

Hmm..interesting question. I'll have to look into that one and think about it for a bit.

Umm...4000 dollars a year per worker = all net profit earned by Wal-mart shareholders. Are the business owners, the shareholders, not entitled to make profit. It's not just a bunch of super rich people that hold wal-mart stock. It's mutual funds, pension funds, and the like that Wal-mart...

I would think the hardest part of trading in currencies is understanding the macroeconomic conditions affecting each currency. Where with a business, I can look at the financial sheets, I can evaluate the product, and the like, with currencies, I would have to have a good, solid understanding...

First, Wal-Mart cannot afford to give higher benefits and wages to their employees. Sure, it sounds nice, let's give them higher wages and better benefits. But, when you take all of Wal-Mart's yearly profits applicable to their shareholders, basically, the spare money not re-invested into...
