How can they patent some of these “concepts” that are so vague?!? And enforcing them would result in a monopoly of the technology!

Comment on How long do we stay in Iraq? by Clint

(From Frida Berrigan)

“Thomas Ricks wrote that staying might be the new leaving … Kenneth Pollack of Brookings compared U.S. military forces in Iraq to a cast on a broken arm, saying ‘we can’t know for certain when Iraq’s bones have healed, we need to be very careful about how and when we remove the cast.’ This is a compelling argument only if one forgets that the cast broke the arm in the first place.”

The way things are going with our economy, I think we will stay until the economy picks up and here is why……say the war ends today and all those Reservists and Guardsmen return to civilian life….what will happen to the unemploymenbt figures? The war is an economic decision, IMO.

Comment on New era of liberalism over by Chris

lobotero,
Maybe you’re right. But the polls still show healthy support for things the Democrats promised in 06 and 08: Leaving Iraq, reforming the health insurance system, regulating banks, etc.

So while many Americans and independents may self identify as “center-right” or whatever, they seem to support liberal goals.

I personally, do not think that it was all that progressive in the beginning…it sounded good but I was not convinced….I also do not think that the vote for Obama was a liberal thing…..why?…most independents are center right in this country and they were just out right sick of Bush and the Boyz…I think we could draw a more precise conclusion if states would allow independents to vote in their primaries….just an early morning thought….
