Via Andrew, it's hard to argue with Robert Stacy McCain's observation:
None of these young [McCain] staffers really believes in John McCain and none really expects him to win, and the honest ones don't mind saying so -- privately. Most importantly, none of the Beltway conservatives, young or old, can give you a conservative argument in favor of McCain's election other than (a) "Obama would be worse" and (b) "What about judges? ... The GOP is already psychologically defeated.
Of course, as R.S. McCain notes, Obama might still lose. But it will be because he lost, not because John McCain won. If you take his meaning. A conservative friend of mine said to me recently, "This feels a lot like Dole in 1996, doesn't it?" Yup.

Irelands medical equipment exports are about 600,000 times as large (by value) as its car exports so maybe you were looking in the wrong place.
Anyhow averaging 7% growth over the last 15 years is nothing to be sneezed at even if much of it was because we started off fairly poor.
In fairness it was only 29000 dollars which I guess it about 3 cars worth since it was 9000 in 2003.
It's amazing how when you strip away the emotion of socialist/populist rhetoric, there isn't much "there" there. - Rock
You certainly don't know your history very well. It was the Populists in the late 1800s who led the revolt against the Railroad and other Monopolies, and paved the way for the Progressive Era, which was necessary to improve the working conditions of millions of people.
Rock's and people of his ilk's only solution is to cut taxes for the rich. Same old bs. Perhaps someday the rich in this country will not be put up on a pedestal. My grandparents worked their behinds off on a 80-acre dairy farm for 45 years and they never got the benefits that the uber-rich do in this day and age.
So, Rock, pick up a history book sometime. You might learn something.
Ando,
I read history books all the time. The most recent one was about the Great Depression.
The title of the book is: The Forgotten Man, A New History of the Great Depression. Author: Amity Shlaes
Excellent book. A very readable book about the Great Depression from the vantage point of an economist.
So, we will get left of center public policy these next four years regardless of whether Obama or McCain wins. At least with Obama, everyone would understand that the results, good - bad - indifferent, are the responsibility of the Democrat party.
Yes, and it's important that we know whom to blame. How will Rush earn his $38M/year otherwise?
