    Sorry first time, but good points from your side. As a libertarian, I only believe the government should be involved in markets that require it. As a healthcare professional, I do not trust the freemarkets judgement on what is in the interest of the consumer/patient and would not be willing to...

    Have you not seen the failure of a private investment group that could not hold up their agreement with leasing the indiana toll roads "80/90." maybe it should be considered that certain markets cannot sustain themselves without government involvment.

    If you are incondescent light bulb supporter, you should look at the city of Los Angeles and reconsider the fact that the extra energy it takes to operate an old light bulb puts out more mercury ( not a greenhouse gas but just as harmful if not more harmful) through electrical consumption than...

    PLease explain though why one would not criticize subsidies for companies that don't need them, but not for a new market, as notes earlier, the internet would not be available now if it was not for the United States Government

    It would have been a little more acceptable if the previous President was not an oil barren in which when he took office a barrell of oil was $11 and right before the bust it reach $160. That had nothing to do with personal interests. And if you recall, gasoline was exceeding $5 a gallon...

    Amen on that one Gavinfielder. The house hasn't passed a damn thing in the last two years other than attempted tax cuts for those who don't need the tax cuts.

    Then the right needs to cut back their political ambitions that are wasting our tax dollars on over turning Roe VS. Wade which will never change. That right there is a waste of money and time. It is only sad that people continue to base their political views on religious beliefs. The abortion...

    Donahue please explain why someone would support the continuation of government subsidies for a highly profitable mega conglomitor corporation that profits as high as exon mobile, but doesn't believe that a starting markets deserve the same. Please recall, the internet you are currently using...

    Not sure how someone would note that " . Maybe we should also take into consideration the number of banks and investment firms that have gone under due to the previous presidents/vice-president decisions on the "free market" attempt. Those were the businesses that BUsh/Cheney supported, which...

    True but if you want to look at this perspective on politics, Jimmie Carter did end up creating more jobs than Ronald Reagan, yet due to the baby boomers from WWII vets returning being at the eligiable job age when carter was in office, it doesn't seem that way. people don't look at it from...

    Some people seem to forget that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at the 5000 mark when obama took office and that we were loosing 800,000 jobs per month. Maybe they should reconsider their pointers on the recovery not working. Do the math. This means that since January 2008 were have...

    Anyone who believes that the government should not intrude on their religious freedom, but believes that the government should disregard a womans right to privacy is only showing their true colors of personal biases toward thumping a bible in a government which was formed with the intention of...

    I beleive tonights debate was only a continous emphasis of what the two candidates have to offer. Which is mostly contradictive of each other due to different beliefs in the roll of govenment. If the government was intended to be run like a private corp than it would be, but its not. Running...
