It is the naivete of such voters that actually
believe that working class people will benefit
and 97% of small businesses will benefit by
Obama's "plan."

Parodicically Extremely Sad! It should had never been invented in first place, those extremelly High risk Financial instruments should had raised RED FLAG but the in financial Industry is corrupted and dirty collusive activities by judicial system and Wall Street, the Feds... led to failure of the US economic/financial system and world instability in the financial markets.

I fervently hope not. Glad to hear it,

Perhaps you or someone else can help me on this:
How does a government prevent the creation of
"financial instruments" which are highly
speculative or misleading in their potential
consequences?
I don't mean this in any way other than to
wonder how it is that a government can think
of all of the ways to circumvent existing
laws and statutes to prevent abuse of the
public trust. After all, if there is not a
law against something, it isn't illegal, so
what can be done in terms of legislation?

Not alone it will not....constant oversight and continual cleaning (voting out incumbents) will keep them in check. Corporate and special interests will ALWAYS be there, WE just have to ensure that OUR self interests are considered as well. Oh and that increase in citizen participation is the real KEY without it all of this is just theory without any action.

A vote for Ron Paul, at this point, is in fact, a vote for John McCain. And Paul stands for absolutely nothing that John McCain stands for. Paul opposed the war, as does Obama. Why would you give your vote to the guy that supported the war? If Ron Paul were a man of integrity he would come out and endorse Obama. I have talked to some Ron Paul supporters and when they say they are voting for John McCain, it just does not jive. The only thing I can come up with is that they will not vote for an African American. What more could it possibly be. Anybody got an explaination?

<quoted text> The majority of white senior citizens are more than likely not going to vote for Obama, why waste the money getting out the vote there? I am sure there are few open minded Seniors but most are set in their ways....and have far more skeptical view of integration and accepting an African American President. And that is so sad. When that woman was referred to Obama as an Arab the other day, I thought how hurtful that must be to Obama, who was raised by his white grandmother and who he loves dearly. Although she sees him as an Arab and exotic, he probably sees her as someone very much like his grandmother. Can you imagine?

If that is the correct it aligns with something
I have been saying for a long time on this thread
.... that for a viable and effective 3rd party to
emerge it will come from the center and segments
of the two major parties.
If this occurs I suspect it will develop out of
a bipartisan coalition brought together by one
or two major issues that are presented as "must
solve" issues. I am not necessarily sure the
monetary policy issue per se can do this, but
issues like health care have the power to do
this, particularly if unemployment results in
the wholesale loss of health benefits for the
blue collar sector. COBRA benefits aren't
forever.

US political history is at odds with that theory. We have a two-party system and probably always will.
What will happen is that one party will end up disintegrating over an issue and another new party will be formed by those who split from the old party over that issue. The old party will just fade out because it cannot compete.
The Whig Party did just that and the Republican Party was born. The GOP is on the verge of just such a disintegration.

<quoted text>The subject of leadership came up at the coffee shop.
Our resident Obama supporter and card carrying UAW rep suggested something I found intriguing.
He said the only way it can work, real monetary policy, is for a Democrat to push it. His comment was this - "A Republican is smart enough to understand the idea"
In other words - maybe the conservatives will have to take over the Donkey party the way the liberals took the GOP, blind faith

Tit for tat - as a political scientist - I would love to witness this -- but it does nothing for finding a leader.
