No, its just that I've heard all of this sore loserdom from the left since 2000 and I still can't believe they cling to the conspiracy theories.

Gore and Kerry lost fair and square and you'd think liberals would have gotten over it by now.

So if the republican party has all of this power to destroy the voting process then why is the Chicago community organizer still in the White House planning his next "command concert" and golf outing?

...or did you just make that up?
You started a thread saying that US borrows money to fund social programs. Did you make that up?
I responded that the US is borrowing to maintain a huge military. Since money has no color how did you decide that we only borrow for social programs? The proof is on you.

OK now let's see how I ACTUALLY started the thread:

Quote:
If America can borrow $20 TRILLION for hunger programs and schools and paid sick leave and other France like programs then why not?

It would only cost around 2%…

Good idea, progressives?
So, please, tell me...where in this post #1 did I write the "US borrows money to fund social programs"?

The proof is on you.

How do you know we borrow money for payed sick days? Is that written anywhere? And what "France like" programs are funded through borrowing? I claim we borrow for very "American like" reasons.
Since my question doesn't sit well with your "theories", you avoid answering it.

Personally, I think the whole election process is owned. Studying debates, the parties, the electoral college etc... So I would say use of the word fair is not one I could use to describe any of it.

Also not sure what that has to do with this thread, but sad reality is our elections are very easily manipulated with electronic voting machines.

The whole system has been questionable, but computers make it really easy to alter the vote. I don't think people should get over that, but rather investigate it properly and remove computers.

1. I never wrote anything about borrowing for "payed" (lol) sick days so I don't know what you're talking about there.

2. I already answered the France question please read the thread.

3. I never wrote anything about American social programs currently being funded strictly through borrowing please read the thread.

The original question asked if we SHOULD borrow heavily to finance expensive social programs while interest rates are low and there are no downsides (according to liberalism).

If you are going to participate in this thread please make sense.

No, actually I am right here as I always have been...

I can't respond to every troll's pointless ranting.

I've tried to engage people here who have an adult viewpoint and don't avoid answering the questions posed.
I've responded to your op and you're too clueless to understand.
