Credit where credit is due:

Jackson (D), my favorite President.
Watch you get attacked for being a genocidal maniac, while they idolize LBJ, who killed more than 50x the amount of Vietnamese as Jackson killed Indians.

A group of true leftist fringe posters, foot soldier Democrats, independents who are almost unanimously left of center and a minority of Republicans - most of whom are socially liberal - is RIGHT WING?!

Lol, okay.  Thankfully for the world, the vast majority of people don't take some of you guys' fringe views seriously.

The whole point of gay marriage is you shove it down a specific persons's throat, not everyone.

Depends on what's more important to them; states' rights or individual rights?
I refuse to buy into the notion that the concept of state's rights caused the civil war. It was about slavery, not federalism. Otherwise, Jefferson Davis wouldn't have repeatedly trampled over states rights as President of the Confederacy.
You right-wingers should be happy, without FDR the US could have fallen under socialist revolutions.

Sorry to hear about Stevens, but he died doing something he wanted.

What?  Plummeting 5000 feet and crashing into the side of a mountain?

An old classic that was being discussed on IRC today.

A lot of people want a third party, but nobody can really agree on what third party they want.

You know that rhetoric that conservative/hawkish Americans like to use about us being "the world's policeman" or "a beacon of justice and freedom to the world" or how we're special and unique and above the fray and have an obligation to spread our heaven-sent values to the four corners of the globe and root out evildoers and all that?

Well, uh, this news almost makes me believe it for a moment.  USA!  USA!  USA!

Per wikipedia, the democrats have 4 options for their plan B.


John Carney, U.S. Representative, former Lieutenant Governor of Delaware and candidate for Governor in 2008[4]
Thomas P. Gordon, County Executive of New Castle County[5]
John Kowalko, State Representative[6]
Peter Schwartzkopf, Speaker of the Delaware House of Representatives[6]

Rating for this race stays at Safe D for now.


This is undoubtedly the worst time you could post that. At least wait a week man.

^ Thanks, Flo. Thats what I thought too when I first read it, but couldn't really put it into words.

meh, obviously it's sort of tasteless, but what is the point of posting that news in the gubernatorial and statewide elections forum if you aren't going to discuss it within the context of gubernatorial and statewide elections?

Bald men have no place in public affairs. Sure, we let Eisenhower run the country for eight years but he had to save the world first in order to prove himself worthy.

I agree that the law against "structuring" is a terrible law.

A pretty basic principle of a free society should be that you can be prosecuted for disobeying the letter of the law, but you can't be prosecuted for disagreeing with the laws you obey. So it had better be that obeying the letter of the law is enough to be free from persecution, even when your sole motivation is to avoid prosecution. The idea that you can have one law and then another law that makes it illegal to obey the first law when your psychological motivation is only to avoid criminal investigation and penalty, rather than to further the broad, vague purposes of the law, has pretty authoritarian implications.

Not one of the most underrated.

One of the worst.
