Discuss...

I like bacon and eggs

I say bring on the debate. I understand they are supposed to discuss foreign policy but I'm sure the main focus will be turned to our economy.

maybe a good thing Becca!

so do we have a bailout deal?

do you have you checkbook and pen handy?

Oooooooh, I can hardly wait to moderate Monday's threads... NOT!

Except the questions were written beforehand.

(cynical swimware alert: certain candidates may have been provided the questions in advance.)

I'm not coming...I'm going to wait till Tuesday!!!!


BUT WAIT!...EVERYDAY is Tuesday except for the Sunday after it rains...then its RAINSDAY and we have to fall back and PUNT...haaaaaphhhhheeeeerrrr!!!!

Can I go home now....no wait I need a Diet Dr. Petter....

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid today said the Senate will stay in session as long as it takes to pass a $700 billion financial rescue plan. "We're going to get this done," he said."

this is the headline on CNN.con; so how can the candidates be down in Mississippi if they are needed to vote?

Well, it's easy if you intend to vote "(not) present". jk

Ummmmm.....WHAT?!?!?!?

They aren't needed to vote on the bailout, it is being negotiated. The Senate doesn't even have a bill before it, much less being anywhere near to voting on this.

Ken Blackwell, Family Research Council, American Civil Rights Union and Buckeye Institute Senior Fellow, On Senator Barack Obama's Tax Plan:

"Only 62 percent of Americans pay federal income tax, meaning that 38 percent get a 100 percent refund of any taxes withheld. So Mr. Obama's 95 percent that will receive money from the government includes roughly 33 percent of Americans who pay no income tax. One-third of Americans pay no income taxes yet would receive a government check of perhaps $1,000 or more.

"That is pure income redistribution. Some pundits argue that this is Keynesian demand-side economics. It is not. Having the government take money from business entities or affluent individuals and giving it to those who pay no federal income taxes is not Keynesian. It's Marxist."

Hear Hear, or Here Here. I was never quite sur which one was correct.

do one of each, NPF.

partisan politics on the part of John McCain to leave the senate floor during this trying time of coming up with a financial bailout just so he can debate rather than to try and work for a solution.

(figured I'd beat Ron to the punch)

Or just give them a B there!
