This is a point that I have made on this board more than a few times.

You had me through here. The rest was just something you spouted that makes you feel a little better.

Face it jw, you got nothin. mg

No, I would say this is an admission of not having a response. mg

You asked a question, and I simply answered it. Just because you don´t like the answer doesn´t make it any less true. And please, don´t lecture about substance and meaningfulness when your first response to this thread was Must of had a long night mg

Did I say that? Or are you just putting words in my mouth? mg

Simple, I´ve made this point many times before, Fox news is the counterweight.

The AP is notorious for this sort of bias, just ask John W. how many of their journalists they hired to fact check Sarah Palin´s first book and how many they hired to cover the flailing economy back in 09. Some good ****

Which isn´t nearly as much as all the lemmings of this world believe.

dude, relax

I agree, there definitely has to exist effective social safety nets. I suppose the problem is that we don´t want to create an entitlement society that is dependent of some of these programs, more so for the able working people. There has to be more reforms in our Social safety net programs.

bull ****! Its a trait sorta deal, people who go into journalism are people for the most part who sympathize with liberal philosophies, thats the answer, plain and simple. How do you go through life being so inept? You´re better than this No one who thinks rationally said only. Come on, lets stop the bull **** here, everyone with any sort of mental capacity knows that the media for the most part is sympathizes with the left. Just when I thought your posts couldnt get any dumber. Exactly sometimes idealogy trumps practical business sense. Give you a little example, I had a night club in South America, started off the tops in our city, had a group of friends that were DJ´s and etc. after a while, we basically put on the music that we wanted hear more so than some of the customers, end result, club went down in business because of what we desired to hear and dance to. Proof is in the pudding, this analogy works, look at FOX news, WSJ vs other media outlets when it comes to profitability. Case closed.

The reason why we are exporting more gasoline now is because of a lack of usual demand, implying a weak economy. I also happen to remember mentioning that as the perception of the economy picking up, that would dictate the price of gasoline. In regards to the economy, without a doubt the data has been coming in relatively pretty good, but during this time of the year it is normal to see hiring surges and as GS points out, many of those jobs appear to be temporary. Ás others have pointed out in this thread, something that I had mentioned many many times before the actual work force has remarkably shrunken over the past three years. With all the government help with extending the unemployment insurance (which I dont happen to fully disagree with) there is no doubt that this is adding to those woes, and that is something that really needs to be reformed moving forward. We are helping create a society of people who would simply rather not work and recieve gov. funds to help them muddle through life. I know for a fact that there are many people who are without jobs, able to work, who simply aren´t actively looking very hard for a job, simply because they are able to get by with what they are receiving with foodstamps and unemployment benefits.

You think I'm here to defend Newt? I was drawn to this discussion because of you some how, some way, believing that Palin is a good presidential candidate. Her and Newt both are NOT appealing candidates for the general electorate. The only ones these two candidates appeal to are the hard righties. Newt is just the new flavor because well... Hes basically the only one left that isn't Romney. So far, from my perspective, the most disappointing part of this process has been the potential primary voters. Its beyond me how any sane person who doesn't want Obama in the White house wouldn't be behind either Romney or Huntsmann. They are the only two candidate that would stand a decent chance in beating Obama. That's alright,select idealogical purity, and we'll surely re elect President incompetent again.

Where do you come up with this stuff? "lacking substance" has nothingto do with the email findings? she lacks substance because well... she lacks substance. Her and Bachmann are one in the same, they stay on script, they repeat the same talking point over and over and there is nothing dynamic about them. They aren't the sort of people that SUBSTANTIVELY respond in a Q&A format. How can you not see this?? Well, whatever, what can you say,you are blinded by her idealogical chutzpah. That's all there is to it.

No, she lacks substance. She is a living walking talking point. I don't buy into other peoples ****, I make up my own mind. And Trump is a populist. And even though Paul Ryan is loved by the Tea party, trust me, he aint no Tea Party dude. Having said that, Paul Ryan would be an excellent future candidate for the presidency.

Please just stop!! just stop with the Palin crap, you sound loonier than the loons. And Trump winning as a third candidate???? In regards to Newt, substantively he has a lot to offer, but you guys have to be realistic, he carries more baggage than an airline attendant. The caricature of him has pretty much been set, the obstacle for him to repair that damage would prove to be too great.

Stop trying to fool everyone, we all know you are gonna vote for Obama Again

I heard one of the traders today say on CNBC, "how about occupying a desk"

Romney HAS been at the top, and the reason why he isn't quite as savaged as the rest is well.... Because he is a much more polished politician, and he isn't as susceptible to the gaffes as the others.

Ok, without a doubt the scrutiny that conservative candidates receive from the media isn't comparable to candidates from the left, but Newt was acting like a hypocrite. I mean he called out Barney and Dodd for their ties to Freddy Mac and then we find out he was a paid consultant for the very same companies he has been lambasting. And 1billsfan, paaaaleeeeesssseeeee. Palin is a very weak candidate, who would have no shot ever, I mean ever in beating Obama.
