Is there anywhere online where one can find intelligent and measured political discussion?

Cal, you know if you look at Reagan's over his first two years it looks just like that?
We're in a horrible economy with unemployment just under 10% and not going anywhere soon. The stimulus and the Fed and the bailouts, while keeping us from going under, have not revived the economy to anyone's satisfaction. We're going to be in this slump for a while no matter who is in charge. It could be a decade.
But Obama is going to get the blame, which is how it works. But you keep pounding on the stimulus and how it "didn't work" then asking for a real intelligent discussion. Well, what intelligent or knowledgeable person would make a statement like "the stimulus didn't work"?
Which is why there's no point having a conversation with you. You can debate the stimulus up and down, and scholars will be doing it for years. But there's no doubt it added jobs and increased GDP. It's just a question of whether it was big enough, or crafted appropriately enough. You'd have a hard time finding an economist who didn't favor some sort of large stimulus package.
So you want to have the stimulus discussion, or blame Obama for the economy, you should read some first.
or crafted appropriately enough
Really? LOL. Too funny.

Here, Heck,
CRAFT THIS: Note when Obamao came into office and his regime went berzerk with
asinine college marxist pseudo-intellectual school of thoughts: (from the BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS web site.)
Note when Bush was pres. You big dummy.

Thanks for answering the question posed by this thread.

Thanks for proving me absolutlely CORRECT about you doofus libs... you avoided the statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics site.
Nice. Say, you going to make up your own? Put people down personally some more?
I haven't seen you have an intelligent conversation but maybe one time since you've been around here.
And left, after your backside was pummeled.
and came back,,,, after you figured we forgot about it.
Then you left again... when the pummelling happened again....
Have a nice Labor Day

I leave because I'm gone all summer, Cal. I'm traveling from June to August. You may have noticed this pattern over the last 6 years.
But you can celebrate your victory if you like. You won ...something. And I ran. I couldn't take your genius.
-
well, don't forget to let Obamao know where to send your
"traveling" bailout check to.
He wouldn't want to lose your vote over a simple misunderstanding...

I'll take a stab at it. What were you hoping to discuss?

Not sure that's what Tupa had in mind, Vapor.

Yeah, I think I'm going to pass on that one.
