    The only candidates that are afraid of questions are ones too dumb to have any answers. Sarah Palin, for instance, the queen of stupid answers and the inventor of the term "gotcha questions".

    What was McCain thinking? If he had chosen another rich white man as his running mate its likely that Barack Hussein never gets to the White House.

    And yet, Biden is clearly a stupid creepy perv but he's one step away from having the job.

    Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Biden is loyal and dependable, but he has never been the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    I'm not so sure. McCain had already lost the moderates. He thought a woman would help him get back some women's votes, but she was definitely the wrong woman.

    I am a libertarian (small L). Rand does not satisfy me on all issues, but he does on more than any candidate I have come across (other than his dad, though Ron is a little too out there). I truly believe the argument is moot though because either Bush or Walker will get the nomination from the R's and we will have more of the same.

    Well, at least this Republican Congress did the important hard work and made the tough decision that needed to made and got rid of the estate tax. I cannot think of anyone more in need of having their rights spoken for than trust fund fuck ups who have waited long and hard for their birthright.

    Its not just the rich who benefit from not having to pay an estate tax on the proPerry or money that has already been taxed at the time it was earned. An estate tax in effect taxes the same income twice.
