    you're such a moron.. are you still on this "I'm a banned user back from the grave" kick.. Idiot... again I disagree with your politics and make good points so you're going to try and find a way to discredit me. The easiest way to do it is to tell everyone I'm a banned user using a different account. That is pathetic.. Typical of someone with your Ideology, but pathetic none the less.

    I wish the media would do a better job analyzing the stimulus instead of just discussing the politics of it.

    Tell me when the economy is going bad and people are losing their jobs. Is the way to fix it by having more people lose jobs?

    Have you heard of the great depression? We spent our way out of that to a large degree.

    The key point in this column is the absurdity of the voters. They want to blame him because he isn't creating jobs, but they don't want the debt that comes with job creation.

    Sometimes I think everyone shouldn't be allowed to vote

    There's a good piece in the New Yorker from a few weeks agon on this paradox - basically, if you type (as people have on this BBS) that "we should cut spending to create jobs" - like a lot of people (teabaggers etc) seem to believe - you might as well just put on a dunce cap and go sit in the corner.

    I didn't vote for it.

    Did you?

    Are we not a part of everyone?

    I certainly didn't! In fact, I was somewhere in this crowd before the war started.

    I tend to not put a lot of stock in stuff like this but if you really are a poster who just registered this month and not a previous poster how would you know this is a common tactic of Sam Fisher's?

    I'm not sure what your point is. There are many congressional Democrats criticizing how the war in Afghanistan is going but I haven't heard a lot of them saying that Afghanistan was a mistake and we shouldn't have gone into there. There is a debate about how long we should be there but not about going in the first place.

    I think Pop Rox was referring to SamFishers tactic in another thread and earlier posts from him. I think Sam's accusations are completely unfounded and if he has no evidence he really needs to cut it out.

    Anyways I do appreciate your more level headed responses.
