ROFL @ Weiner showing his Weiner

Seems like you should have had this list prepared already, no?

After all, you were the first to notice how I've been trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the C&C board for almost a decade now. All those articles I posted from Ann Coulter or Ron Paul back in the day was all part of my ruse.

The jig is up on my end.

We're at two dicks and counting. What's your view on alternative energy?

 

[75th]

I'll respond re: alternative energy when you riddle me this:

What makes, to use your words, sticking with "fossil fuels for as long as absolutely feasible" a conservative vs liberal issue?

This probably goes back to my not receiving daily talking points and ignoring 99% of all political pundits out there, but shouldnt this be looked at from an economic standpoint?

Enlighten me, por favor.

It means letting the free market absolutely decide on which fuels succeed and fail. It means no taxes or subsidies on any fuel, including existing tax benefits for oil and gas exploration. No solar subsidies. No ethanol subsidies. No wind subsidies. No nuclear subsidies (but massive nuclear deregulation). It also means no fossil fuels taxes, no CO2 taxes and no regulation of greenhouse gases under EPA loopholes.

And building the list this way is tons more fun, just FYI.

And what about Iraq/Afghanistan? Without the benefit of hindsight (which proved both wars to be far too costly in terms of lives and cash), was it a reasonable decision at the time?

I agree with all of that. But isnt it a pinko liberal policy to get rid of tax cuts (which arent technically considered subsidies in some circles) to oil companies?

Seems like EF has exposed another RINO! Welcome to the club, plunk. I'll send you an Obama/Biden '12 shirt (I have boxes of them here, obviously) that you can wear proudly now.

It is. Each question of yours just proves that, once again, you swung for the fences and missed.

And let's vet this stimulus issue a little more. Was spending the money itself a terrible idea, or was it simply the things the money was spent on the problem?

 

[mrplunkey]

Oh and bailouts... Banks... Fannie... Freddie... GM/Chrysler. Good idea or necessary evil?

Afghanistan yes. Iraq no.

And thats without hindsight. I also hope we can both agree on that.

Then again, I'm more of a "if youre going to war, go to war" type of guy. I wouldnt lose a moment of sleep if we carpet bombed Afghanistan back to the stone age. Then again, I'm kind of an asshole. But hey, it would be cheaper (I think) and we would have dramatically less military causalities to deal with.

Horrible. I wrote a long post on here a while back about how the GM bailout would, in an ideal world, lead to some type of criminal inquiry against the Obama admin.

Do your research, plunk. I'm busy here.

Again, do your homework.

Japan proved more than once that all stimulus spending does is create more debt and delay a much needed correction.

But again, I dont look at this as a liberal vs conservative issue.
