Alright, I must be missing something then. A bond is when the gov't gets money that is created by the Fed. A loan is when, for example, china, gives us a billion dollars of their money (i.e. not being created by the Fed). Are these not two different things? WATYF

My question was, in addition to the creation of money by the Fed, does the gov't also borrow money from other countries to pay for the bailouts? WATYF

So is there where all the money is coming from for these bailouts, or are we borrowing money from other countries as well? WATYF

I'm looking for a detailed answer to this question. "The Fed prints it" will not suffice. I'm looking to explain this to someone, and any kind of "conspiracy sounding" rhetoric will not help. I'd like an objective answer. I need to know the technical process of how we get all this money to fund...

I think we wait for the Republican party to self-destruct. People are hard-headed. Once they take a position (no matter how unfounded) it usually takes a very strong blow to the head for them to change their position (and sometimes even that doesn't work). They need to see their bad decisions...

Agreed. WATYF

I agree with half of your position, but completely disagree with the other half. I don't think Lincoln had a chance back then because people were less knowledgeable. I think Lincoln had a chance because people were actually capable of thinking back then. Today, people support a candidate with...

Yeah, they compared a one month total to a three month total and called the one month total disappointing. That's some pretty creative math they're using. Even assuming he only manages to do the same every month (5 mil) that still puts him at 15 million for the quarter, which no one would call...

oh... there's the list right there: :) RON PAUL FRED THOMPSON MITT ROMNEY RUDY GIULIANI JOHN MCCAIN MIKE HUCKABEE VIRGIL L. R. WILES TOM TANCREDO DUNCAN HUNTER HUGH CORT ALAN KEYES DANIEL GILBERT UNCOMMITTED

yeah, my wife voted this morning and told me that RP was at the top of the list (I thought that was odd). But she also said that there were a lot of names in the list (she thinks she saw Fred Thompson on there). So the ballot is still cluttered with the names of people who've already dropped...

Ignore poll results at your own peril. This is what the movement did before the first primaries, and they took a huge hit in morale when they found out the polls weren't as "waaaay off" as they assumed they are. Let's say the worst of the conspiratorial fears are true and the polls are really...

Well... if you're basing your argument on Christian doctrine (i.e. the Bible), then "we" are under what's called the "new covenant". Israel was punished because their sins hadn't yet been paid for by the final sacrifice (the Messiah). They were still subject to the wrath of God. Now that all...

If this is indeed true, then more power to them. WATYF

uh... it doesn't say that they're ads from HQ... and suprisingly enough, neither do I. Notice how my comment about lousy ads from HQ is in a different paragraph and responds to other's comments in this thread about HQ ads being lacking. WATYF
