What is this article saying? what's the main point?, ?

We Answered:

The main point is that Obama has been consistent while McCain has been scrambling because the message he and the administration have been touting in the past - that the economy is fine, that deregulation works, that we can trust the market - is clearly nonsense and he has to find a new message that sounds more sensible without making it obvious and while allowing him to continue with policies favoring the rich, the market, privatization, etc.

This is supposed to be an "impartial" news article, and by modern "standards", "impartial" articles have to be "balanced" and can't actually say that X has lied when said Y, etc. even when it is true.

"Balance" these days includes talking about both "sides" of every issue, so the article mentions that Obama is "scrambling" by talking more about the economy these days, even though the examples given all have Obama saying the same sorts of things he and other Democrats have been saying all along - the government has responsibility to intervene to help the people.

At the same time, the article shows that McCain has changed his position and is saying inconsistent things.

(For example, the primary reason for the bailouts is to help calm Wall Street, not Main Street. The claim is that when Wall Street is jittery, ordinary Americans feel the pain. This may well be true, but it doesn't change the fact that the primary beneficiaries are in the financial industry - the special interests that have been supporting the Republicans for decades, that have been pushing for and gotten the deregulation that has been a major factor in causing this crisis, and that this isn't a matter of "corruption in Washington" but a primary part of the Republican position.)

what do you think? (Police Harassment)?

We Answered:

Thank you Sgt. Bennett! I couldn't have said it any better. Law enforcement is always seen as harassment by those violating the law. You obviously have a great sense of humor. It would have been a pleasure working for you.

How big is Choice Point? How many companies have they bought? Does it smell like Monopoly?

We Answered:

Its obvious that they own most of the companies in the Data mining bussiness. Now All insurance companies consult Choicepoint C.L.U.E. report before they aprove you for home or even car insurance. They know things about anyone like how many accidents you have, if you were at fault, and how many traffic tickets you have. Thats the new way for this companies to detrmine how much are they going to charge you for insurance. All you need to have is a couple of mistakes and boom you get stock with higher rates, awesome bussiness dont you think?. They have one of the biggest databases in the nation that now even FBI uses them or buy their information instead of doing their own investigations. How comfortable Aint it? There is no doubt that Choice point is one poses one of the most dangerous databases in america. And there is no way to put controls to their marketing of a citizen own and personal information. A monopoly ! we can agree they are the biggest in the market right now.

Do you agree with this new bill Bill to eliminate illegal immigrant driver loophole advances?

We Answered:

Yes, I wish every state would pass such a law. If the federal government would actually enforce existing immigration laws then it wouldn't be necessary.
