Valdearg: Instead of thinking about these fanciful notions of how things should work in your world, you should be thinking how can we realistically fix the problems with our current system. Small steps mean progress, big leaps are usually defeated.

Valdearg: @Zip: Tell you what. How about you be the first to forsake government. You want to neuter it, how about you stop cashing those SSD Checks you receive every month. I mean, if Government is bad, then clearly, that money is corrupt.

Andrew Eisen: I just skimmed the article but it doesn't appear the survey was made up, just that it was sourced incorrectly.

Hmmmm political games are just popping up everywhere.
Hmmm a Biden-Palin debate? Sadly, she'll probably get destroyed in it. :P
Hopefully. Though maybe the trooper probe will have forced het to step down by then! But yeay, she can't back up her claims, and if Biden grills her about her ID stances and her global warming views, she's not gonna come out lookning like a the same hockey mom she was earlier.
Republicans are stupid... our economy proves that though.
Yup, it was all those damn Republicans fault!
Actually it was. Republicans wrote the dregualtion legislation that's helped lead to to the current recession.
Aww man I thought it said Biden Palin DATING game. That would have been interesting.
And utterly horrifying.

I'm "playing the news" for two weeks and still can't say if i like it or not... well, actually, i do enjoy playing on that site, reading the news, different points of view about them, improving my knowledge of the current debates and so on. Still... you know... i'm not sure i like politic matters shown as entertaining... Anyway, that site is very well built and you can learn a lot surfing it, so... :)
Here is a game: Like "America's Got Talent" There should be 3 buzzers manned by 3 judges. When questions are asked in a debate, buzzers go off for dodging the issue, using slogans instead of answers, totally changing policy with a past that has been erased on the spot, and down right lying!
I also predict if the Palin/McCain team wins, Sarah will be pushed to the backround rather quickly. I believe the Republicans, - including John McCain are using her starpower and are all too aware she has no experience, and will elbow her into obscurity. S.G.
