Primative Weapons Title: Goldi: Palin Quitting Was A Brilliamt Move Worthy of George Washington #14. To: GrandIsland (#9) Those who criticise Palin for quitting the Governorship, should take a look at our Founding Father, George Washington. He had NO desire to be President, and did so only because he was needed. Others did the same with regard to service. Palin realized that by staying she would harm her state, and left. If she was power mad, she would have hung on like the Democrats do...to the bitter end. However, she chose to leave on a positive note, and has done a LOT to help the conservative cause. In hindsight, her departure was a brilliant move.

In hindsight, her departure was a brilliant move. Financially it turned out pretty well for her. Politically, she'll always be a sideshow and never the main event. elPee has slowed down to a crawl, participation-wise that is.
#3. To: Fred Mertz (#1) What positions of Palins is Obama superior on?
#6. To: A K A Stone (#3) What positions does she have? She's long on blather and little else.
#7. To: war (#6) She supports the Arizona crackdown. She isn't for murdering babies shortly after birth. She is for keeping the Bush tax cuts. To start.
#21. To: A K A Stone (#7) She is for keeping the Bush tax cuts. That's like an alcoholic curing a hangover with another drink.
#23. To: lucysmom (#21) She is for keeping the Bush tax cuts. That's like an alcoholic curing a hangover with another drink. So much for your knowledge on economic matters, or deficits.
#24. To: Badeye (#23) So much for your knowledge on economic matters, or deficits. You really shouldn't be lecturing others until you read this: http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=966
#25. To: go65 (#24) You should look up the word 'lecture'...(chuckle)
#29. To: Badeye (#25) As soon as I'm done finding "refudiate" But here's a lecture for you from the guy who architected the Bush tax cuts: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2007/07/on-charlatons-and-cranks.html
My other work has remained consistent with this view. In a paper on dynamic scoring, written while I was working at the White House, Matthew Weinzierl and I estimated that a broad-based income tax cut (applying to both capital and labor income) would recoup only about a quarter of the lost revenue through supply-side growth effects. For a cut in capital income taxes, the feedback is larger--about 50 percent--but still well under 100 percent. A chapter on dynamic scoring in the 2004 Economic Report of the President says about the the same thing.
#33. To: go65 (#29) I'm not in the least impressed.
