2016 Presidental canidates

[Mike the Progressive]

Of course not, they are very different, though one can argue they both had dictators who committed genocide and acted as bullies in their sphere of influence.

But how just the cause may be does not diminish the fact that "war crimes" were committed. You say because WW2 was a "just" war, that the death of Japanese and German civilians was acceptable to a degree where FDR would not be considered a war criminal. To which I say bullshit.

Actually, all I was doing is pointing out the difference in degree of evil. FDR had a lot of blood on his hands, nobody is going to deny that, but Bush he ain't.

Sorry, come again?

If we're lucky, the government will be collapsed by 2016.

I believe it's been pretty well covered already.

ANARCHY!!!!!

Er, I only ask that you extend me the courtesy of better explaining your argument. Because the only thing I got from it was Reagan and Bush did it for money, so they are war criminals...which really doesn't make you a war criminal, but ok?

Well I don't know what Bloomberg has anything to do with Obama and the Democrats , but I've been saying we should impeach Obama for years.

Ron Paul is awful.

Obama's also not even anything close to a socialist.

The entire argument started with my accusing Reagan and Bush of war crimes, to which you implied they were equally guilty of crimes against humanity as every other US president -- the argument over the specific definition of war criminal is irrelevant because I was using it as a way to denigrate grossly unjust war, and you were using it as a way to equate presidents with wildly different levels of guilt.

Ron Paul opposes the Incorporation Doctrine. In simpler words (as I suspect someone silly enough to use a term like "Anti-America" needs), he rejects the Bill of Rights using the exact same rationale North Carolina used to justify their recent attempt at a state religion.

He's just really excited. His mom left him alone, and he had his first can of coca cola and was like "fuck it, I'm going wild on NSG." God bless the kids, they are our future you know? Regardless of how much we should euthanize the little bastards.

What Would Really Happen If Ron Paul Were To Be Elected President?

More people here shouldn't forget Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul would have made the shrub look brilliant.

He would have accomplished next to nothing.

Rubio 2016

Won't happen. His voting against reestablishing the violence against women act will loose him a chunk of the women's vote.

If what you're really looking for is a failed government, you don't have to wait for it here, you can go and find it.

Why do the people calling for the collapse of the system always want it to happen somewhere safe and successful? It's like praying for rain in the middle of a desert - go find what you want.

RON PAUL! obama is nothing more than a socialist that needs to be impeached...

'Impeached' doesn't just mean 'I don't like him".

What grounds?

[Pope Joan]

(THought I was posting on this topic earlier; oops)

It looks like Rubio is indeed the next Sarah Palin.

Now to find some safe white Anglo Saxon male to be the real president, while Rubio smiles and waves.

That couldn't be Jeb Bush; too much Florida.

hmmm....?

OK, here you go (bunch of links to scholarly articles here):

http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2012/0 ... n_the.html

A couple about the Great Depression you can read:

http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/421169

http://www.econ.ucla.edu/files/senate_t ... hanian.pdf

Only one of those is a scholarly source.

The 3rd source is testimony for a senate committee by a UCLA economics professor. UCLA is a well known and respected US university and it is doubtful they would hire a man that lacks any knowledge of his field. Testimony before US senate committees is serious and if this man presented made up facts it is likely they would be shot down and his reputation would be toast. I rate it as a good source because of the writer and the reason he is presenting his facts.

It is not a blog post made with mere opinions.

That's...nice? You claimed it was a scholarly source. That's false. I corrected you.

OK, maybe not scholarly. Still, do you think it is a worthess source?

No. I didn't say that. I didn't even imply it. The source is wrong, but I didn't say it's worthless.

President Jon Stewart and Vice-President Stephen Colbert.

Their political views are very different though. It is like Ron Paul and Hilary Clinton on the same ticket.

Stewart would be dangerous and would probably hike the income tax rate to 70% and raise minimum wage to $15 an hour if he has his way. He would also probably be cool with letting in a bunch of dangerous immigrants in. The economy would collapse if he became leader.

I will agree with his stances on banning torture and legalizing weed though.
