Simply not true.

You can't spend your way into prosperity. Is simply isn't possible.

Sorry, but that seems to be a bi-polar response.

Well you were the one who brought up 'the lesser of two evils' so I assume you found one more evil than the other.If they were equal in your mind then neither was greater or lesser right?In that case I suppose it wouldn't matter but that isn't what you said.

McCain certainly would have appointed different people to the supreme court,likely ones that I would have preferred to the ones Obama chose.I doubt McCain would have run up the deficit as much as Obama either.

When you have only two candidates with a chance of winning one will nearly always be preferable in some regards to the other even if one finds both less than ideal.

People are free to stay home,write in someone who wont be counted,write in themselves,or vote for a third party guy like Chuck Baldwin in '08 who got about .03% of the vote nationally running for the"constitution party'...but in the end you are still helping one of the two major party candidates anyway.This is fairly pointless imho although if somehow Newt were to get the nod this time I might do so myself.I doubt I can hold my nose that tight.

Hmm...well perhaps I can score a prescription for lithium...or perhaps listening to the Nirvana and Evanescence versions three times apiece on youtube will bring me back into balance.....or maybe I could skip the Nirvana version after the first time and watch the Evanescence version 5 times as Amy Lee is much easier on the eyes

LoL, Different definition. May not need a prescription soon, since they are talking about adding it to the water.

I have well water at home but I suppose I may still get a sufficient dosage through coca cola since i'm sure their bottling plant doesn't.
