Carson is an interesting fellow. He'll make a good point one minute and then go on about how the US government is too secular.
lol exactly, there were moments i was like wait, is it the same dude who talked a few mins ago.

hate might be a bit hard...more like disappointed. :boh:

german media prepared us for the second coming of jesus christ back then. :D

It's not his fault that the expectations were ridiculously high, to have such high expectations of any politician is stupid in the first place, that's what happened to Andy (Bjerknes). He'd literally gone insane when Obama was elected, look at him now. Greg on the other hand was never as enthusiastic, and he's still the same person.

oh I'm shocked.

He just called Megyn Kelly a bimbo on twitter.
Well that's one thing he got right.

Trump was so friggin dumb in the debates though. He is there only to be the showman shouter fear mongering to the lowest common dominator. He had the same catch phrases he was repeating to the moderators, completely avoiding to answer the questions and shouting whatever prepared BS he wanted to push. It was clear he was the candidate they took least seriously, especially that Chris Wallace fella.

So true, I was waiting for his turn for so long, then comes the Ukraine bit and a later comment, and was like, is this really the same guy who opened up strongly as the only sane voice?


Only one that was consistently easy to agree with was Rand Paul, and at times Kasich, but I fail to see how either could ever become real candidates.

Quick question, is Rand anything like his dad ? His dad was pretty boss and would have made a fine president.

What a hilarious night, and there are people in this country who consider voting these clowns :lol2: Funniest part last night was how Rand Paul, an American politician running for presidency in the United States of America, debating with other American candidates in front of American people had to defend his (not even radical) position regarding US funding of Israel. I like his stand on a number of issues (although he hates Iran) but he's a little too angry/emotional when making his points (that "you were busy hugging Obama" bit was such a low silly attack). Carson is smart but he seemed totally clueless at times.

Oh and that last question about word of God or something :lol::lol: And these guys are big on fighting religious fanaticism.

No wonder there are people who hate Obama, he's too smart to be understood by people who support these tiny brains.
whats smart about obama? good orator i'll give you that, but smart? why

He's exactly an idiot like his father. Only more political. His father made himself a lot of enemies in GOP establishment. He (Rand) just wants to avoid that.
Very long but equally amazing article who wants to know Rand

Swag did make a good point. And one that I agree with. But my point was that Obama is hardly a champion of the black community and more importantly that his situation is so different from that of most African Americans that I am not sure if we can say that someone outside the 'establishment' is now president.

What I don't get is why you show up every time there is a debate around race.
As disappointed as many might be in the black community about Obama not overtly going to bat for them often enough, Obama probably played it mostly right for a first black president. If he showed too much favoritism towards what seemed like "blacks-only causes", he could have poisoned the potential political futures of many black Americans for years to come. He unfortunately had to walk a fine line by showing you can be president, and you can be a black president, but without being a black man who also happens to be president -- which this country certainly doesn't seem ready to accept.

Carson is an interesting fellow. He'll make a good point one minute and then go on about how the US government is too secular.
Another black man you can't fit into a convenient box. :D

Apparently, Donald Trump gets most of his support from young white males without college degrees.
Which I correlate with the same class of people who are firebombing Southern churches (if not shooting them in their churches), which I also ironically correlate with the same class of people in India that are being branded as rapists.

Somebody is doing all the raping at the US-Mexico border, so maybe it's the disaffected Indian underclasses. ;)

:D he is honest, but that's not necessarily a good thing. He did not accept Medicare and Medicaid for his private practice and believes that central banks managing currency is the biggest threat to western civilization famously saying “No system has survived on only paper for currency.”
he sounds reasonable, but he's not.

But please don't get me started on the nostalgic and wistful pining by those who worship at the altar of the dead gold standard.
is that why jp morgan is hoarding gold and silver world reserves? gold will always be a hedge against inflation, the debt based monetary system has killed purchasing power to the favors of the money printers.

True, but do you see a future where I'll need to shell out a dabloon to get a big mac?

But gold is so 1922 and impractical in a modern electronic exchange based economy. Not to mention most of the fandom about gold is based on this false notion that it is impervious to trading bubbles.
