After now 2 months or so they still weren't able to choose new president. That has bought some time for the Italiens. They should get there Euros out of their banking system, go into some precious metals and open accounts in other non Euro countries. They will be the next who will get stolen from...

Well I guess it was not intended but it seems Italy has no way of having a clear majority. That's good news for the Italians and even other citizens of the EU. (BTW you can play funny games with EU in German, because un- can be used to make everything the opposite. e.g gut -> good ungut ->...

sorry guys, but why are you voting for those with the deepest pockets and biggest lies? The last vote campaign of Obama has cost > 1 billion. So why are you still voting for them after you've learned vote after vote that they kid you? Why are you know cheering such loosers as Romney, Chim.whatever...
-
even if not for all to long. What has Obama said before he was voted? What of these things has he fullfilled? If you find he has delivered what he promised, vote for him again. If you think he has delivered too less. Just do not vote for him. It's everyones decision to vote for or against some candidate...

if course it depends on what you understand unde "humour" Obama has said: "Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections."...

A great empirical representation of recent policy topics . If you watched the election debates and subsequent discussions regarding McCain and Obama's tax policies, you'd think taxes or lack thereof held the key to the entire economy. Read More...

So here I am, standing in the wake of election night. Since the primaries passed I found myself an injured veteran of the Ron Paul Revolution. So election day for me was neither trauma nor glory, but a sad feeling as I watched the conclusion of what seemed to be a car crash happening before me in slow...

Its 1:53am Pacific standard on November 5, 2008. The late night aftermath affect weighs heavily on all the strung out election junkies. I myself am obbsessively drinking coffee and refreshing the results page for the outcome of all the propositions in California. I stare blankly as I read the results...

I wrote this in a response to a question raised about 3rd parties in America. But there is a solution, I don't expect anyone here to buy into this as a way of saving democracy or justifying it, or any of the above, but at least it may help. It's the idea of an instant voter run off. you get one...

Lott points to a recent phenomenon where gun lovers are buying up now to avoid costly regulation later. "We call it the Obama factor. People are very concerned that if a Democrat is elected they will see more restrictions on handguns and assault...

Kimberley Strassel writes in the Wall St. Journal that citizens are more than a bit peeved with their government. "The state of the union is angry. Citizens are furious about gas prices and health-care costs, broken schools and property taxes. These are the leaky hydrants, the constant reminders...

Dear Ron Paul Supporter, Do you honestly believe that your candidate has a chance in hell of winning the primaries, much less the general elections? I could cite results from every reputable polling organization that show Ron Paul with less than 3% of the vote, but I have a feeling that you will find...

The next time you hear someone going on about the "right to vote," remind them than voting is not a right - it's a coercive power wielded by the voting minority over a society. Rights denote the extent of action men may take without initiating force against others. Voting is force, the...

Most economists agree that from a cost-benefit perspective, the cost of voting far outweighs any material benefit . For example, in a presidential election, your vote is one out of 120+ million. Your chance of casting a tie-breaking vote is infinitesimally small, so small that you could win million-dollar...
