As a Female myself I can say this. She just wanted drama in her life, or she wanted to brake up with you hardly and in the letter found her self going for the "Its not you, its me"

But that's George's signature thing!

Though I didn't say Republicans did it, I just said it's gone down since Eisenhower, and I mean all of them.

Also, blame Ronald Regan.

If you ask me, it started going down from Eisenhower.

Though really, it is just an instant win.

I mean, the landslide that was Obama/McCain, we all know it was because of Palin. I mean, did you see that woman debate? Horrid.

Ah, the guy who switches to conservatism in a bid to flaunt his intelligence.

Thomas Jefferson was a great man who pioneered the concept of the separation of church and state, had fell thought out financial policies, and of course wrote the Declaration.

I personally think that healthcare should be mixed private and public, but the public insurance option was taken out of the bill due to the crybaby antics of Republicans who want their next campaign to be financed well.

Well yeah, everyone knows Obama wants his legacy to be healthcare, and the Republicans want to win next term. They're trying to ruin his reelection, it's plainly obvious. They don't care about healthcare, they get payed overpriced salaries as it is.

And I worry if they seriously consider running Palin on the ticket.

Here's the Bill (abridged for easy access to important points): http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/03/18/section.brown townysis.pdf

In case you haven't read it, or if it hasn't been posted here.

Also, Sirrus, would you like to be on the show this Saturday? You opinions are entirely opposite of mine, and you make well constructed points. We need some more debate to make the show interesting.

Socialism can't work because we are human. Any time a government holds the strings of an entire society's economic system there's bound to be some form of corruption. It's impossible to have a 100% benevolent socialist government.

Pretty much what Shwolli said.

Also, in response to what Bisjac said as I was posting, there is no perfect form of government. There will always be some way that someone finds to forget it up somewhere along the line. However, with socialism and an economy controlled by the government, you know what else the government controls? The military. Taxes. Our healthcare. Our education. The private sector cannot control everything that the government controls at once. It's not a perfect system, but it's better than socialism.

Well...

Socialism, in certain degrees, can work. It's different than just straight up communism. It's a mixed economy, meaning the market is still free, but everything else is government controlled.

A great example is France, or Britain. They've had socialism for quite some time now and they still exist, and are thriving. It's just how you handle the situation, and make sure you apply the correct means.

Edit:

Yeah, you pretty much described everything we are. The private sector doesn't control that, and socialism makes sure of that as well. Socialism isn't the evil here, it's the people running it we should worry about.

and whats wrong with socialism?

Americans were raised from day-1 to fear anything non capitalism.
most Americans dont even know what communism even is, but the word alone is the devil for some reason.
nor socialism and how great it is.

Well, communism is somewhere I really do not want to go, ever.

It sounds like a great idea on paper, but then it's like. No. Just no.

Good idea, bad execution.

Believe me when I say I love capitalism a hell of a lot, but I love the stability of my country a hell of a lot more.

If it takes the government taking control of a few things so that we don't go into an economic downturn, or lose our ability to gain entrance to a hospital, so be it.

Plus, thanks to checks and balances, nothing in the system has to be permanent, we can go back to the old way as need be, or if this way works, all the power to it.

Really, again, I bring up FDR, but he's a prime example of what's happening here, and how it can work and how it might not. As long as Obama learns from FDR and his triumphs as well as mistakes, we should pull out of this ok.

Limbaugh said he was going to leave the country if it passed.  I bet he'll pusillanimous individual out.

Well yeah.

This is the only country that lets him say the stuff he does and get away with it.
