Yep, you gotta go after the money in kiddie porn. Whatever that means.

McCain: I'll let Bernanke do whatever the hell he wants.

I love how they cut Paul off right after his time is up, after allowing everybody else ramble on and on.

You're right Dr. Ron, we're not going to support the nominee either unless it's you!

Oh my god, mccain has *no* idea how the fed works.

I'm no fan of the gold standard so don't confuse this with a defense of it. I've read several of your posts on this subject and every time you seek to link the defense of the gold standard with causing the great depression. You, however, fail to consider, or completely ignore, the fact that the government printed more paper money than what their supply of gold could support in the first place. If the gov't hadn't screwed with the money supply initially there wouldn't have been a need to defend the gold standard. The pro gold standard crowd believes that the initial departure from the gold standard is what caused the great depression while attempting to return to the old standard only worsened it. Hopefully you now have a better understanding of the pro gold standard position and will stop misrepresenting their viewpoint in the future.

I would also like to point out that in this rare instance Rudi is at least partially correct. I don't think you can point to any one thing as causing the great depression but Smoot Hawley had a negative impact on the U.S. economy and played a role in causing/worsening the depression.

I wish one of the candidates would have the balls to actually say what we all are thinking: Maria..would you take off your clothes before you ask the next question.

OH SNAP!

Fred just put the serious beat-down on Romney with his: "To think, I thought I'd be the best actor on the stage."

Huckleberry: "I don't want to start re-regulating the (airline) industry *but* ..."

Would someone kick Romney in the nuts if he talks about "optimism" being the answer to all our problems again.
