Go ahead and attack the states ... you have your own political issues in Canada. Are you a Harper supporter?

I'm not attacking anything. But please, if you would like to speak about Canadian politics or Harper. start a thread about it.

Haha- let me guess, you are one of those people that screams to everyone who doesnt agree with your midwest conservative view, "it's better than your country so take it or leave it."

Not going to get you to far once you start applying logic...

You guessed wrong.

The generalizations are just running deep, on all sides. That's all.

There are no easy solutions to the many faceted issues going on. I'm not in love with either, dems or repubs, and all the shit that is happening in this country.

I don't appreciate anyone making "generalizations" about the state of the country or anywhere else for the fact of the matter.

I think its a very valid point that any generalization is simply a dangerous thing and leads to bigotry, weather its anti-american or anti-gay its really just unnecessary to make a broad statement about any group of people. It creates separation in a world that really just needs more unity right now.

Republicans vote based on guns, religion, and/or money.

You are telling me that's an inaccurate and dangerous generalization?

Without the ability to generalize, our minds literally would not be able to function. They would become overwhelmed and confused by the infinite number of individual details.

Anyhow..

Gotta love how Bush goes, "...and housing prices would fall dramatically."

Well, that's what's supposed to happen in a market correction. Middle class homes are not supposed to cost a half million dollars. It's just that simple.

And then he goes on to say that the troubled assets that are being purchased by the government will eventually regain their value and taxpayers will earn their money back.

What he's saying is that the government is actually hoping that middle class homes will again one day cost an arm and a leg to own -putting families into debt for upwards of 40 years.

And throughout that whole speech, he failed to mention even once that artificially low interest rates set by Greenspan and the Fed are the main reason why all this is happening. Countless prominent economists and Ron Paul himself have acknowledged this to be the case.

Just goes to show that he still has not realized the severity of the situation, and so it's no wonder he thinks it can all be fixed by a simple bailout plan.

Ron Paul is a republican, and he doesn't vote on those things. I don't believe in generalizations of any kind, nor do I believe in labels like democrat or republican. We're all human beings, and therefore we all deserve love. It really is that simple.

There is a time and place for generalizations. Depends on what the nature of the discussion is ...

anyway ...

Who knows what Bush really thinks or doesn't or realizes, that is the truth of the matter. He was definitely skirting issues that is for sure and presenting an overall "generalized" plan, which "seems" to be a cover someone's arse plan. : )
