Didn't see one up, but Matthews has been giving me too many straight lines to pass up on!!!

[MaxMax]

His solution to every problem is diplomacy with Iran.

But then is unable to realize that it's Iran rattling the Sabers.

[AGreatPer]

How about building a new refining plant that we haven't done for 30 years.
How about a new nuclear plant that we haven't done for 40 years.

These people are so disgusting.

Just looking and listening to this group makes me so sick compared to the Republican canidates.

[Sapper26]

Only Bush can saber rattle.

[libbylu]

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with Hiliary’s eyes... it looks like she has two rows of eyebrows on each side.

[exit82]

Dodd is a Goracle disciple!

Taxing carbon will produce energy!

Brilliant!

We’re SAVED!!!!

[padre35]

Now you understand...quickly bang your head on the Fridge, and that should stunt any thought processes and the debate will make more sense to you....

[Shermy]

Dodd,

corporate carbon tax.

Well, at least that’s not as horrendously bad as cap and trade.

[Marathoner]

Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Honestly, is this the best a major political party in this country can do??? GOD help us all.

[HonestConservative]

Corporate Carbon Paper Tax?

Do they still use that?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I will have an answer to that question, but first we must fly to Iran and talk to them.

[casino66]

But they have provided us with so many laugh lines.

[AmericanMade1776]

John Edwards has been devastated a lot, he spent a lot of time in New Orleans in the gay quarter of the French Quarters.

[tioga]

OH, boy silky got HIS question asked........

[mdittmar]

Did Kucinich,say "the constitution of international law"?

I'm on dial up?

[calcowgirl]

Richardson said cap and trade!!!!!

Richardson and Huckabee--joint ticket. ;-)

[MaxMax]

What about Pelosi’s sabre rattling against Turkey?

That's different because Turkey could screw everything up as an Ally.
But you knew that. /Cheerz

The extra money the 1983 law collected was to be set aside for the baby boomers retirement. SS has collected more than needed for 24 years by a wide margin..

No it hasn't. It is a pay as you go system. Any "surplus" is deposited into the General Fund and the Treasury issues non-market T-bills in the amount of the surplus for deposit into the SSTF. Actually, those are IOUs. Here is the 1983 law: P.L. 98-21, (H.R. 1900)

Without using the "surplus" the USG would have to borrow real money to fund operations. They would then have to raise taxes or curtail spending. It is far easier to maintain the charade of a separate SS that is really just another form of income tax. Approximately 80% of Americans pay more in payroll taxes than they do in income taxes.

[roses of sharon]

Dodd insists on “hardship” for Americans, we must suffer, for the children you know.

[Balata]

Dodd “You got to deal with price.”

He said this several times. What about supply and demand? These dems just don’t get it. They think they are smarter than everyone else.

[kjam22]

It is boring. They’re afraid to attack each other. I’d give 10k to be standing where Edwards is right now and have an opportunity to argue with Hitlery on national television.
