    Fellow liberals: What do you think is going on in the RNC headquarters?

    In response to the Critz winning a key race where the Republicans thought they could win? Here is my image: The scene is Burns kneeling in front of A seated and angry Sarah Palin. =Tim: Forgive me, lord. The faithful tea partiers were not strong enough to sell the whole "socialism" crap...

    Why do the Tea-Partiers refuse to follow the proper, genteel rules of debate?

    They just shout out of turn, do not cite facts, and do not show genteel respect for their opponents. When you are arguing with a politician, you should use terms like "sir" and be polite disagree. You should not yell at them. I watched the House debate over healthcare on C-SPAN. They do not...

    Don't the "manage the govt. like a household" cons know the difference...

    ...between Micro and Macro economics? A lot of Tea Partiers and conservatives state that the government should manage itself like a family. You spend what you earn. Oh, how CLUELESS they are about economics. A household's budget functions and should function COMPLETELY differently from that of...

    Can army ants be "routed?" just like a human army?

    I imagine that army ants behave in a very similar way to ancient human armies. (i.e. Roman legions) For what I know, they may even have tacticians. Either way, I know that other types of ants will abandon their posts and flee if they are scared. I also know that human armies of large size are...

    How do we encourage healthy lifestyles?

    One of the things that is driving up the cost of healthcare is simply that we are unhealthy. We eat too much junk food, we don't exercise, we drive wherever we go, etc. Now sadly, while you can install universal healthcare and perhaps guide the free market, it is hard to combat unhealthy...

    How was the behavior of those town hall protestors acceptable in the rules of debate?

    I couldn't help but be appalled by the amazing lack of composure of those town hall meeting protestors. Shouting and yelling things like "NO OBAMACARE" is illogical and probably violates the unspoken rules of gentile debate. The only things that separate debate from argument are the dominance...

    Why do so many Americans TRULY think that they could out-debate a politician?

    Do you truly think that you can win a debate against a congressman? I was watching the pre-vote house floor debate over Healthcare. While I was listening to some Republican rant about how "Obamacare" was going to ruin our system, then listening to the Dems respond, it occured to me that no...

    How could people NOT admire the Supreme Court Justices?

    The 9 members of the hallowed Supreme Court make up my favorite branch of government. They are wise, do not have to report to voters (thus protecting them from the somewhat irrational masses) and only rule on the most important of cases. Yet I see many people who think that its members are not...

    Why should yahoo answers be a place for slackers to turn for free test answers?!?

    I am disgusted by the amount of dumb jocks using Yahoo answers to obtain better grades. This website should not be for that sort of trash, but rather for those who wish to speculate and ponder. Asking a question about history out of curiosity is worthy, but asking dumb questions like "Who were...

    Why do people dislike Harvard educated, cosmopolitan, well grounded politicians?

    It isn't as if we have any major political dynasties that were able to produce 3 presidents in a row. (2 has been the max) Also, a harvard educated person would have a more cosmopolitan/big picture, less localized, view of the world, seemingly making them better for foreign policy. They would...
