I agree 110% to what you are saying here. If people bothered to look at the actual stats they would find that in the US child abuse is at epic proportions. The fact that the US Catholic Church is caught up in this is not surprising when you consider the demographics. The truth is that the Church...

He didn't register to vote for his future mother-in-law!!!! LMAOF ... maybe the kid is smarter than we think. PK

I'm with you on this one Korbel ... both Clinton and Chretien came in to clean up Conservative mess's ... Tory times are in deed tough times, if Harper wins a majority hang on to your wallet and your job. PK

Lower third is harsh but it goes to the so-called "American Dream" that most Americans chase. The reality is that the US has generally throughout it's history been a center - right kind of Country. It is overly religious, pretty much through any religion or creed ... hence the moral code ...

It actually is dumbed down in both our Countries ... mainly because of the 24 hour news cycle and the fact that we all collectively have attention deficit disorder, in so much we can't get around the 5 sec. sound bite. In Canada we see this with Dion's Green Shift policy ... while you can debate...

Maybe I can help you here. At one point the Democrats were the Conservative Party and The Republicans were the Liberals. Confused, well it's true ... the Republican Party was founded just before the Civil War on a platform that was against the expansion of slavery into the western territories...

On the first point there never was such an animal as zero% down ... just that some builders gave a discount that acted as a down payment ... I know nit picky but there you have it. The problem never was the loans to the so called high risk ... in a low interest market it means there is lots...

what has scared me about Republicans of late is the venom they have shown at McCain's town hall meetings ... the meetings have shown a level of hostility that makes me worried about Republican sanity and Obama's well being. pk

Most likely ended up in the hospital, who in turn called the police to report the assault. pk

While I'm no fan of Bush, lets be fair ... the economy was going through a normal turn down and then 9/11 hit. That took the US into a minor tail spin. Where Bush made his biggest mistake was to take the US into war without asking ALL Americans to sacrifice ... or at least help pay for those...

Economic left/Right -2.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -5.49 I would say this accurately reflects my views PK P.S. JAG how did you get above 7 in the economic number ... short of standing at the printing press and handing out cash to everyone I don't know how you did that:eek:

Yes I remember this. However it was more in line with how CMHC worked. In addition the Clinton Administration didn't allow debt mixes in wrapped securities, for instance when CMHC packages debt together they are all mortgage debt only, no credit cards or car loans are package together with...

Mr. Bush's economic achievement is indeed very very bad. People tend to forget that in both 2000 and 2004 Bush pushed this ownership policy. It was a little like the chicken in every pot that was pushed by the Republicans just before the great stock market crash of 1929. The Bush...

Actually Lou Dobbs is an orginalist ... in the US that means they follow the Original US constitution. It is the age old fight on Federal power that Lou champions. If you follow this simpletons belief system you find that he firmly believes that US should be an isolated power and that individual...
