And what about how many democrats think gw bush is a war criminal or a mass murderer, nazi, etc.

Did you not watch the videos? Some people would consider obama's economic ideas to be crazy

Except we're not denying that. I can accept there are some nut bars in the republican party, and as we can plainly see, nut bars in the democrat party. Smallc said there were no nut bar democrats, I called bs.

And how did that legal action go, dvr receivers are selling like hotcakes.

Oh really???? enjoy!!! Anderson Cooper 360 Anybody can be a wing bat, they come in all shapes and sizes!!!

And I'll say once again, how bout them democrats... You don't think democrats don't act like wing bats

If it was then the satellite and cable companies wouldn't be selling dvrs with those options now would they? advertising as previous stated is based on the opportunity of somebody watching. Do you stare at and read every billboard as your driving? Do you leave the room when a commercial comes on? Why isn't Rogers, shaw, and bell being sued? Why aren't their customers?

You have to realize who votes in these primaries, it's just a show for them. If any of these people were as crazy as some would portray them, the republican party would see to it that they are in permanent limbo.

And that's why we have a process to weed out people who are legitimately crazy be they atheist or uber religious. I'm sure any rational religious person wouldn't let their religious views interfere with their decision making or they wouldn't have much of a political career.

Shenanigans!!! What was the average Joe doing buying a 400,000 dollar house new cars and vacations and massive credit card debt on an average American salary. If you can't afford it don't buy it. Hell I'd like to live in a mansion, and a brand new truck, but I can't justify buying it. This is what happens when you print money, it eventually has to go somewhere, and it went into housing and there wasn't enouh wealth created to pay for it. Nobody has a gun to the head of those people to take those loans, nobody had forced them to elect spend happy politicians. Really banking ceo's set monetary policy and interest rates? Yes it is right. But you keep believing the old scapegoat story...

You do know that in both Canada and the USA any citizen has the right to run for public office. Why shouldn't religious people? There have been religious people running the USA since 1776 and its the largest economy in the world. We've had atheists running china and the ussr that have murdered millions of their own citizens. The three top tier candidates are all religious in their own way, they are very successful, and have at one point done a respectable job at being in charge of something, does that make them crazy?

So define crazy. Just because some are religious and believe in something. That's not crazy. Do we get to have a list of democrats, I'm sure there are some real beauties in there...

So you think that the average Joe with their sense of entitlement had nothing to do with this and it was all the banks fault? Really??? Everybody is motivated by "greed" except the average Joe calls it getting ahead. George w. Bush stated that wall street got drunk. Well who sold the alcohol??? It was bad gov't policy by politicians elected by people wanting more and more to fill their sense of entitlement, the question is why wouldn't bankers make those loans, it's cheap money and the gov't is there to bail everyone out. The market does a far better job of regulating stupidity than a politician.

My point was that William was clever for doing so. He could have been a horses ass and tried to cause problems to be able to rule, but why not let parliament do it and keep the figurehead title. It's much cheaper than having another war over it or a government overhaul. It's like negotiating a bankruptcy settlement, just pay the little bit and be done with it.

Always figured the royals were clever. They passed off the grunt work to parliament and get quite the compensation package for giving royal assent. Given how free things are in the commonwealth, if someone wants to rubberstamp something based on a treaty long ago, they can have at it.

I have no problem with the cpp making investments, they have small returns and are generally conservative with their investments. Unless yahoo's CEO is the second coming of Jobs and has some earth shattering ideas for yahoo, Yahoo is a company circling the drain, there is nothing there. It's a bad idea investing in yahoo, they are hemmoraging.

I wouldn't go so far as to say masters, financiers maybe. There are many more ordinary people than "fat cats"

CNN is figuring he's dead

What a foolish argument. If dvring shows is illegal then: 1) why did my satellite company offer a dvr receiver and is advertising them? This is not like a person going into future shop and asking to buy a recording device, the bloody satellite provider is selling them. 2) if the networks have a problem with it, why aren't said satellite/cable providers who are offering the damn things being sued into bankruptcy? Seems to me like the satellite/cable providers negotiated a deal with the networks to allow this sort of thing...

The USA is already in the process of looking at ending direct subsidies to producers, they are that broke. There was consultation with producers about the wheat board. It's been going on ever since Harper became pm. The wheat board is prone to changes in world price just like the producer. The only farmers that have gone out of business are either retired or incompetent. Harper was also immense pressure from the dismantle the wheat board faction of farmers in western Canada. The notion that farmers would go broke without the cwb is honestly ridiculous.

I didn't say it was a new idea, just an idea. Well that depends on the economic situation and who's in congress. I think the situation being as it is could be different. We have Grover norquist and the republican rep from Wisconsin Paul Ryan taking a serious look at it...

Thats true.The general idea is that it is to be flat, and I think that's how it was designed.

I think these candidates are floating that idea as an idea to simplify things and widen the tax base. For example in canada we implemented the gst which is a flat sales tax and hit everyone, yet paid for trudea's debt and mulroney's interest payments on said debt, and it hit the poor as well, yet these days we are doing extremely well. The USA needs to maximize it's revenue without making it Too expensive to do business down there. A flat tax does that, and spending will need to be slashed on a scale similar to Ireland.

Alberta isn't as broke as the USA either. They need as wide a tax base as possible.

Why not? The poor use the services, they can pay the piper. They may have to start buying less trinkets. Helps out those who create jobs. Seems fair to me.
