Why Republicans can't get enough of book 'The Forgotten Man'

There aren't any sex scenes or vampires, and it won't help you lose weight. But House Republicans are tearing through the pages of Amity Shlaes' "The Forgotten Man" like soccer moms before book club night.

OK, for one of the few times in my short career as a poster, I will agree with my liberal opponent!

Thank god for Republicans

"When you look back at the '30s using the public choice lens, what you discover is the extent to which the Depression wasn't about a virtuous government and bad businesspeople. Rather, it was about people in office competing with the private sector for power."

Amen brother.

To be popular with conservatives and Republicans, it must use small words and lots of pictures, like Bush's favorite, "My Little Pony." Fight conservativism: Promote Literacy and Education,'cause nobody in their right mind would agree with all the epic failures of the GOP.

Whenever liberals question the intellect of a conservative, I smile in amusement. Whenever people here do it, I laugh out loud.

How quickly those of you who voted for Carter/Mondale forget the absolutely horrendous mess they left for Reagan and Clinton to clean up.
You, perhaps, should go back and reread that history book and beocme literate yourself

public choice lens? What's that, something like 3-D glasses? Please expound on that concept, Bob the Blunderbuss.

What mess did Clinton clean up? He received a roaring economy (2000 GDP growth >3%) and handed off a recession that Congressional Democrats refused to address for two years.

Actually, I voted for Carter/Mondale in 1976. Since then, I have written three letters to President Carter thanking him for converting me into a Republican.

Gore To Write [new] Book On Climate Change

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/03/24/polit...





Environmental activist and former Vice President Al Gore plans to release a new book, "Our Choice," in November of 2009.

The book will "answer the call" for "urgent action" on a "comprehensive global plan that actually solves the climate crisis," according to a press release.

Gore hopes that the book will "unquestionably inspire and rally those ready to fight for solutions that were deemed impossible only a short time ago." He plans to lay out the conclusions he has reached after attending a number of "Solutions Summits" focused on the climate attended by policy experts, scientists and engineers.

In keeping with the theme of sustainability, "Our Choice" will be printed by Rodale Inc. Publishers on 100% recycled paper with locally produced and sourced editions and low VOC inks; it will also be carbon neutral. The former vice president and his wife Tipper will donate all of the book’s proceeds to the Alliance for Climate Protection, as they did with their popular film, "An Inconvenient Truth."

A Republican can write a book, woo-who! Just because someone writes a book, doesn't make it true. Republicant's keep saying WWII got us out of the great depression. We've had two wars going for a number of years, one would think the economy would be booming. But, we all know better than that.

That is fact, the entire country was the Military Industrial Complex and were manufacturing all types of war materials. Jobs were created to maintain our troops in Europe and the Pacific. We threw everything we had at them
Today, we limit the level of involvemnet in an effort to prevent collateral damages. The entire country is not invovled in war time manufacturing, different time, and situation, not even closely related
