    Does anyone else find it simplistic and frustrating that just because one's not a liberal, one is uncaring? I held positions dear to the Democratic Party for years, but the data simply didn't demonstrate the efficacy of the policies. At some point, you have to consider new alternatives. The conclusion to which I've arrived, and which the data support, is that free market solutions are by far the best creators of wealth. That wealth may not move as quickly as redistributionist policies, but it eventually raises the standard of living for all.

    Why? Isn't the anti-Mormon stuff enough for you?

    Seems like an obvious belief structure. Notice how the only religious threads/post on this board are started by religious bigots?

    I say that as someone who is definitely not religious, yet doesn't judge others on their beliefs.

    You've gone off the deep end enough that people are quoting your bizarre and bigoted rants. It's odd, and I don't post enough here these days to be the center of anybody's universe, unless they think I want to be.

    Regardless of his point of view, I just wanted some answers to simple questions. When you two start going at it, it's tough to have a conversation where you discover anything.

    I learned not to care about why that is the case. You probably have as well.

    Its not bigotry if you don't want a Mormon president. Like I said before if that makes SlyPokerDog a bigot than that makes a lot of Tea Partier's bigots.

    Its no different than the silly Republican's fighting tooth and nail for Obama's birth certificate.

    I don't pretend to be a economist. Clinton spelled it out pretty clearly tonight. You chose to ignore.

    No I listened. Of course, I guess I am an economist, so I know better. The half-truths were astounding in his speech. I do understand, however, that it's easier for some to believe everything they hear from people into which they put their faith. I voted for the guy twice, but he has a casual realtionship with the truth.

    And how can you be so sure in your belief system if you can't support it either philosophically or mathematically? Maggie Thatcher said it best: "The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money."

    you guys have to admit, its pretty silly for a conservative vanilla right wing corporate shill to constantly espouse his love for music that directly contradicts everything he pretends to believe in

    Some people seem infatuated with the guy. Like a stalker is infatuated with his victim.
