debate

As we all know 2/3rds of the US Senate and all of the US House are up for reelection in 2018. The math favors the Republicans keeping control. There are 35 seats up for election in 2018. These include 26 held by Democrats (or Independents that caucus with the Democrats) and 9 Republicans...

Thoghts? If nothing else, it'll be entertaining.

Have at it boys!...

Okay, as I see it we can either allow the crap our congress agreed to, or prevent it if needed through emergency measures. If we do slide down the slope, there is a risk of great damage to our Economy, bordering on default. In order to avoid this possibly destructive result, our elected...

I have a somewhat active imagination...and because I enjoy you all, decided to try something. We Shall Call It: Actual Debates In this format (should you decide to post), you have agreed to contribute...not contaminate. By touching finger to keyboard, it will be assumed you intend to use a...

Anyone watching? Some silly topics already out there- namely someone who asked a question about whether the candidates feel the Dept of Energy should play a role in setting gas prices. (hint... they shouldn't)

Any predictions, comments, etc. on the VP debate this Thursday? Unfortunately I will be busy studying that night, but I think it will be an entertaining one. Will be interesting to see how Ryan answers questions about his budget plan.

First one happening right now. Anyone else watching? Romney is doing well so far.

Anyone watching tonight? Santorum is probably going to get a lot more attention with his rise and Romney will try to fight to get himself back atop.

Anyone watching the debate right now? Most of it has focused on Newt and Romney going back and forth so far with Romney calling Newt out on a lot of his involvement with Freddie Mac and his support for medicare part D. Newt has been defensive, but completely stood by his support of medicare part...

Payroll tax cut will reduce SS funding so that rich may not be able to collect social security when they retire. Raising taxes on rich will be stressful for rich also. Poor will stay poor anyway no matter what. So why kill ourselves to help them. Let them protest and live in tents in open...

Anyone catch the security debate tonight? I am currently watching the re-run, will post back later with my thoughts most likely.

I've never seen people boo voluntary cancer prevention before... :unsure:

Anyone watching? Thoughts?

[SIZE="3"]Romney outlines jobs plan before debate http://www.boston.com/Boston/politicalintelligence/2011/09/romney-outlines-jobs-plan-before-debate-president/5stryWAnHZbNfYTGTIPgtN/index.html

Did anyone catch the debate tonight? I missed it, but I saw some of the coverage after it was over- it was surprising not to see Romney, Trump, or Palin, but Pawlenty got a good amount of attention. Paul of course had his strong following as usual (in terms of presence/preliminary polls).

As contagion fears continue, some European leaders are calling for an extension of the bailout fund. Among them is President of the ECB- Jean-Claude Trichet. Of course the opposition is Germany, the one that will need the most convincing. Another proposition that has come up is the creation...

Since there are so many questions raised and issues discussed concerning people?s basic assumptions about life, about their philosophy, about their religious beliefs, indeed, about their very approach to reality and the way their society goes about organizing things, it seemed like a useful...

Looks as though Britain is copy-catting the US Presidential campaign debates. Britain held its first US-style televised campaign debate on Thursday, and I'm most certain Brown must have been unhappy to have agreed to this debate as the underdog of the three leading contenders in the race stole...
