I Agree to Disagree

That is all there is to say as should have been said earlier. That is fine as I disagree and clearly you disagree.

I realize what I'm saying goes against the conventional wisdom. It is incumbent on a few of us to disagree with the status quo to wake up whose who are awake enough to hear what we are saying.

He was no prize either. He mucked up the economy as well. You are going to say he was an R, but he was as liberal as anyone, and jacked up the economy big time. He was really the architect for the new deal.

FDR was worse. With endless meddling in the market and stopping the banks from using script to alleviate the bank runs, which was the usual method to deal with the problem

So why did you skip over him? Just couldn't stop salivating at the chance to put in a dig at FDR could you?

The terms Republican, Democrat, conservative, and liberal as used today have almost no relevance to the same terms 100 years ago.

Blind mindless ideology is certainly your forte.

No. Simply put I firmly believe that what you were saying was wrong. I do not "need" to hear what you are saying. Frankly what you were mentioning doesn't stray at all from conventional GOP economics beliefs so its not like I was exactly blown away by the originality. If anything I'd say those statements were somewhat predictable- no offense.

But I digress. We agree to disagree and I am happy with that conclusion.

He does deserve most of the blame, if nothing else 60%?

Are you saying I have a blind spot? What is it? I said that Hoover was almost as bad as FDR.

OTOH Coolidge, Harding were rock stars.

Exactly my point, belief has nothing to do with it.

Rand Paul is a good guy. I still prefer his father though.

If he runs this year, it'll be interesting.

Would be interesting in a debate with Hilary...

It would be if they actually debated openly. Realistically I expect every one of them to stand around and pander with some generic slogans until the camera stops rolling.

I think I don't have much faith in any politician being open and honest.

Oh yeah. You're correct. Facts have more to do with it. So if you had actually stated some facts maybe I would have agreed.

Great video. He knows and respects the constitution and the history how we got there and is actually telling the truth, going against quite a few warmongers in his own party.

Mell gets it, Eddy not so much.
