Politics is stupid, no one likes talking about it but everyone can’t shut up about it.

Please leave the politics out of it, unless you are talking about Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich, these guys actually has some interesting financial ideas.

And for the record, I don’t agree at all with your sentiment. It seems to me that the worst thing to be said about Hillary is that the far right and far left media doesn’t like her! She’s a woman, other than that, it’s all shades of gray between any of the leading candidates. Chose your shade.

Politics does polorize the readership–so does the occassional union bashing he engages in too–leave it alone–lets talk pf!

Pat and FeeOnlyPlanner,

You guys are right, I shouldn’t mix politics with personal finance.

I must too agree that bringing politics into this blog is misguided and essentially polarizes the readership.

Religion and politics are two topics that are highly subjective and way too emotional…I would rather see that JLP sticks to personal finance but it’s his blog and he can do what he wants with it:-)

I think you need to stop listening to the Republican tarring campaign listen to what she has to say. Would she make a good president? Heck, I have no idea since you can’t read one honest word about her – either from her camp or the Rovatrons. Such is the status of political campaigns.

Bill Clinton was a centrist – and just what we needed at the time. Too bad his skirt chasing derailed his presidency. I’m a fiscal conservative and a social liberal – so you can guess my evaluation of the Bush league. Electing the “neocons” (twice ?!?- well maybe only once) was a disaster that will take decades to recover from. Would Hillary also be a centrist? I wish I could know so I could make a reasonable choice (although as an independent I won’t be choosing until Nov ’08).

. . . after all, controversy and shocking headlines are what sells magazines.

Some people’s definitions of torture quite frankly scare me. Not to say we never cross the line, but it frightens me to think if this country would be able to handle a situation like WWII ever again. People seem to think war can be handled like their food, credit, expectations, and obligations…. quick and easy and not bad on the eyes.

As for the magazine… Manchurian Candidate comes to mind. I wonder how much her “people” had to pay for it. A ‘Fortune’ is probably correct.

Your first mistake is believing what you read in a mainstream magazine . . .
