politics than I do (not being sarcastic). I'm wondering if you could answer my question below -- do you know if either candidate has a proposal for this financial crisis that doesn't involve the taxpayers shelling out $$$?
As for the interview, I agree that Biden wouldn't have answered that question any better, but the question that got me was the one about the dude (Rick or something?) in their party that was still collecting on the FM/FM deal. I realize that these candidates are all spoon-fed the politically correct response, but I just didn't like the way she dodged the question when it was so pointedly asked. Repeating the same answer was not helpful, either. It almost insinuated that she knew more than she was letting on. But I guess all these candidates do, don't they?

Not really that hard to grasp.
A great article about the Gulf of Tonkin incident can be read here:

But to answer more plainly, the point is that Johnson in all ways was a dead ringer for today's Republicans. He did not represent the Democratic ideals then or now. Interesting snip of the article:
Most Americans know little of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Historians have shown that the Johnson administration provoked the incident with the intention of crafting a pretext for making overt the American covert involvement in Vietnam.
Sound like anyone you know? Sound like two Texas politicians might have owned the same playbook? Should either one of them be admired for that? I can certainly say no!
So when are those on the Wrong Right going to place blame where blame is clearly due on BOTH sides of the aisle?
May I compliment you on your grasp of the issues s/m
I tell ya, the people railing on this board make me almost root for Obama. Republicans seem oblivious to the fact that while Sarah Palin may be a great soccer mom, it isn't soccer mom experience that makes a great VP or God forbid, president. I used to greatly admire John McCain's military service but I have gotten to the point that I don't give a big hairy white rat's behind. He has bragged on himself until every time he brings up his "distinctive" military service I want to throw up. Anyone with half a brain that is functional can see your post hits the nail on the head. Refreshing to see someone with reasoning capabilities and......honesty.
I just cannot grasp the fact that you can't buy shampoo
or basic needs if you are both working and working overtime. You must be in serious debt....
What do you expect them to do? They've got to grasp the only straw they can find
conservative "values."
They don't know how to be objective, and they're not willing to accept the truth.
Immigration attys probable grasp basic citizenship concepts.
