17% of our GNP goes to health care...

10% to the Department of Defense...

I'd agree that they are both monstrous problems in their own right...

No, better yet "Ronnie "Alzhiemers" Reagan who left office with a major housing slump (sound familiar) and another ruined economy (sound familiar, part 2)...

Good heavens is Barack Obama - "The One" - so lacklustre and boring that you have to dredge this back up?

Come on Amos get your Impeachment thread back up and running.

Cheney or Rove in prison yet? Why not if the "evidence" against them was so damning?

500,000 votes? If you object to that then get out their and campaign for the abolition of the Electoral College, then be condemned to whoever the choice candidate is of the states with the greatest populations (Your Electoral College is there to play an important part in the system of "checks and balances")

All in all this thread is just so much "Magpie Chatter" - i.e. totally meaningless.

As far as history goes the Presidency of George W. Bush will be treated quite kindly.

President Jimmy "Peanut" Carter - Might have been one of the most intelligent men who was ever President but in reality he was a naive, weak fool, who did immense harm to the United States of America

President William Jefferson Clinton - Who put populism ahead of prudence and totally lacked judgement

President Barack Hussein Obama - Instead of being remembered as the United States of Ameica's first "Black" President he will be remembered as a political lightweight more naive, as weak and a damn sight more dangerous to the interests of the USA than "peanut" Carter.

Elections are won by those with the best funding sources, providing their funding sources are significantly stronger than those of their opponents. If funding is relatively equal on both sides, then other factors will determine the winner.

McCaine never had a chance. Given the general situation in 2008, which was not favorable to the Republicans anyway after 8 pretty disastrous years of George Bush and an economy going down the toilet bowl, he'd have needed quite a bit more funding than Obama to win. And he had considerably less funding than Obama. Obama also left Hillary behind in the funding drive. The one thing he had to overcome was being "Black", but that had its advantages too, in certain respects...it just depends on how you look at it. There's a right time for everything. Hillary could use the fact that she's a woman to her advantage...if the time was right, and if she handled it right. Same goes for Sarah Palin.

Ripped off the folks in Arlington, Texas making them buy a stadium for the Texas Rangers, which the tax payers paid for, and then turned around and sold the team, stadium and all...

Ahhhhhh, cokehead and drunk (with DUI to prove it)...
