A perfect statement for what happened as big business brought us King George W. Jim needs to start reading the news to better understand... it is interesting when a man who can not speak gets elected contrary to exit polls, it is not interesting when a man who can speak is elected matching exit polls.

"Government" is run by people, it is people who tend to abuse their power, not government...

Just between 2001.01.20 and 2009.01.20... glad that's over!

The overly simplistic rambling of a simpleton.

and yet he & others of his type are responsible for overspending us into deeper & deeper debt, how incredibly dishonest!

Any quote that starts off with a double negative, and seems to have uniformly have been read and commented upon by all as only having a single negative in it, deserves no better than a thumbs down. Clarity in communications... he's saying that the constitution should keep its nose out of how long a debt can be made for (a good idea, keep that document cleaner and leave all more flexible to do "what is right" for the time)... but mostly, learn to read! In addition, Clinton got the budget to a surplus, which does bring down the net debt... something that Reagan & King George W totally destroyed with their flawed "trickle down" lie...

Good for a quick laugh, but not even any real insight into the problems and challenges he was throwing stones at.

which is not to say that it is the wrong choice in some circumstances... trade-offs exist.

Even evil can speak truth.

Good "truth speaking". It does not say that it is always wrong, just lays it on the line as to what trade-off is being made.

E's got it.

Abusive/hate speech should not be tolerated regardless of if there is a statement that speech is free or not, and thus this argument is specious.
