Nonsense. He didn't "keep going on." Canada may have not been technically in a recession, but he stated several times that the economy was slowing, but that we weren't in as bad of shape as the American economy. More nonsense. He didn't say that everything was fine. But I must say, you did a fine job knocking down everyone of your strawman arguments. Good job!

Unfortunately for you, all the evidence points to a much different reality. Sarah Palin making first trip to Asia in September HONG KONG — Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September. The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday. Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. "Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics," company spokeswoman Simone Wheeler said in a statement. "We just felt it would be a fabulous opportunity for CLSA clients to hear from Mrs. Palin," Wheeler said, adding that CLSA approached Palin with the offer. AP Of course, they're probably just "idiots" too. I've been having a lot of fun kicking in your teeth with actual facts, on a consistent basis. I'm just suprised you still have the nerve, and a lack of shame, to keep posting on this topic. It's quite fascinating.

They're the same experts that predicted huge Democrat gains in congress in 2006 and 2008. And we all know how that went. Don't we?

No. The nail in McCain's election bid was when he suspended his campaign during the "economic emergency." He was leading in the polls up until that point. So once again. You're completely wrong. How many times do you intend on being wrong in one thread? And you still haven't answered the question. Is my previous post what you meant by irrelevant?

Hey GostHacked! Is this what you meant by she'd be irrelevant? Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week will begin accepting and rejecting the more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances since she resigned from office, aides said Twenty speakers’ bureaus made offers to represent her. She has signed with Washington Speakers Bureau, which represents everyone from George and Laura Bush to Bob Woodward and Katie Couric to Alan Greenspan, Colin Powell and Rudy Giuliani More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state Legislature, aides said Then she’ll begin looking through the inch-and-a-half thick file her lawyer, Robert Barnett, has built of offers for network and cable pundit gigs, documentaries and business opportunities. Politico The award for the worst prediction in the history of the world....goes to....GostHacked!

Here you go. Now you can argue with Politico! Experts see double-digit Dem losses After an August recess marked by raucous town halls, troubling polling data and widespread anecdotal evidence of a volatile electorate, the small universe of political analysts who closely follow House races is predicting moderate to heavy Democratic losses in 2010. Politico

Not at all. It just shows how unbelievably weak your argument is. Breaking news! Harper a Conservative, is appointing Conservatives! How dare him!

Unfortunately, a party in the minority can't make those kinds changes needed to reform the system. And the other party's won't play ball. So don't expect them to let the opportunity to make appointments pass. You're being quite disingenious. As usual.

Kinda sounds like you regarding a different topic. Harper's appointing Conservatives! Help! Help! Somebody! And we get it. You don't like Harper.

How'd that work out in 2000, or 2002, or 2004? When polls showed a similar environment. Acutally, an even more similar situation would be '93. Remember how that worked out for the Dems? Keep spinning.

This thread is a joke. When you strip away the Dobbin-style spin, it's basically titled Harper appointing Conservatives to Senate. I'm shocked I tells ya, shocked!

I don't get it, are you suggesting Harper should be appointing Liberals to these positions? Elections have consequences. And appointments are part of them. Stop whining like a little baby. It's pathetic.

Which predictions?

Quite right. Unfortunately, President Obama has a number of rather questionable Czars... Until last week, Carol M. Browner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick as global warming czar, was listed as one of 14 leaders of a socialist group's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which calls for "global governance" and says rich countries must shrink their economies to address climate change. By Thursday, Mrs. Browner's name and biography had been removed from Socialist International's Web page WT Rather odd isn't it? That her name and biography were scrubbed from the Sustainable World Society's webpage?

They ARE in huge trouble. And it's not just me saying it. Read the Cook political report. It's all there in black and white. Also, look at the polls. The Dems are behind in many blue state races.

I never called the Virginia election. I simply posted poll numbers which stated the Republican was leading.

I've noticed that those who have an affinity for communism, are usually persons who have never lived under such a system. And those who've had the misfortune of living under said system, despise it, and usually try to flee it any way possible. It's quite the irony.

I have a very difficult time believing Ed Klein's claim. Although, I can't think of a reason why he'd lie about it.

How Sarah Palin Rope-a-Doped All-Too-Many Liberals As a liberal myself, I was amazed by the obtuseness of the liberal reaction to Sarah Palin’s “death panels” quote. They fell into a trap because all too many were blinded by their class-conscious, snobbish disdain for Palin, who, whatever else you think of her, is one cagey operator. And in doing so they allowed that one brilliantly crafted propaganda phrase to undo the chance for some necessary health care reforms (portability of coverage, no disqualification for previous conditions, eligibility to some plan for all, subsidized coverage for the impoverished uninsured). They couldn’t believe that Sarah Palin was capable of something as canny as that deadly “death panels” phrase. They couldn’t see that it was a metaphoric shorthand for something real. Instead they thought she was too dumb, that she meant it literally (to have seen the potential for rationed end-of-life care in the bill), and instead indulged in an orgy of disdain for her “crazy,” “ignorant” “lies” and malicious misrepresentation. Link This could also apply to many people in this forum. Who for some reason, still don't get it. But it makes for great entertainment.

I posted this story long before Gosthacked.

Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. CNET It seems as though nothing is safe from the tentacles of the Obama administration. Just in case you're keeping score at home... 1) The financial industry. 2) The automobile industry. 3) The internet. 4) And very possibly healthcare.

The vast majority of my links are from the New York Times, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, etc. Nice try though.

Do you ever post a source that isn't an ultra-partisan mouthpiece of the left? How about something that isn't always Talking Points Memo or DailyKos for a change.

Also, just a note to everyone in this forum. There exists very dangerous places in this world. Please be advised that it shouldn't be the Canadian taxpayer who foots the bill everytime some idiot goes trotting around the globe, in very dangerous neighbourhoods. That should be stamped on everyone's passport.

How do you know that the government hasn't been helping? Do you have access to all the back channel communications between governments? If so, could you please post them, I'd be really interested in reading them. Stop blaming our government for the wrongs of other country's governments, and in some cases, the irresponsibility of individual citizens.
