If John McCain is so good at working at cutting spending why didn’t he do that when the Republican had control of Congress and the Presidency? I believe he needs to remove his rose color glasses, they don’t suite his former maverick status and...  [Read More]

Ok, so Obama didn't make an announcement that he was suspending his campaign? Got it. That assertion struck me as a little odd considering that I saw him making television appearances, etc. Thanks for clarifying. EDIT: In all fairness, we saw McCai...  [Read More]

While Obama had stated he'd be at the debate, he had also suspended his campaigning to help out on this crisis, and he has resumed his campaign as well.Could you please tell me where you heard this? I've been following the news pretty closely and thi...  [Read More]

Ah--you're asking me why my opinion should persuade. That wasn't particularly my intent. I don't have the same resources that those working in the field have access to, so the best any of us can do is voice opinions and ideas, and I enjoy hearing wha...  [Read More]

Because it's interesting to talk about these things and hear each other's thoughts on it, and because we're not trying to sell newspapers or gain market share with viewers, so we might turn up something unique in the discussion that those who do this...  [Read More]

Oh, definitely not objective. Some of it's purely gestalt--I've seen patterns emerge in elections cycles in the past and I see certain patterns emerging here, but there's no way to objectively quantify that. Asking for politics to be objective is lik...  [Read More]

I thought McCain had been doing everything right in the last month--say what you want about her, naming Palin VP was brilliant in terms of rallying the party. The Republicans and conservatives are absolutely ga-ga over this, and it's fired up the par...  [Read More]

I'm not rephrasing a GOP talking point--have you seen the polls lately? Depending on the news source, Obama is only a couple points ahead, or is in fact now behind McCain. He should be double digits ahead of McCain, and the fact that he's not means h...  [Read More]

I don't think we're in disagreement on the argument that you're presenting. Yes, I agree that attacking civilians is wrong. Unfortunately, I think that it's a non sequitur in the context of the discussion we're having. Yes, it's wrong, but the origi...  [Read More]

The blowing up of innocent people is wrong regardless of what ever your cause or supposed provication. If they have a gripe with a Government/Military attack either of those - but not civilians. Right. But what if we did it first (or more important...  [Read More]

I'm not a subject of group think. It could be done, but it would require that you go through Korriban entirely before going through the final trial. Otherwise, you would encounter Bandon on your way through that level. It could be done, but you woul...  [Read More]

Well if you're not doing any of the side quests then there's no compelling reason to go to any of the planets. For all the character knows, they're all "Manaan" (or "Manaan" is an inescapable death trap). If you are talking to y...  [Read More]
