Re: Republican Stimulus Opposition Explained via Game Theory [Image]

Brosan55 — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 17:04:42 -0000

I'm not sure I follow the logic: "If they support him and he succeeds, they fail."
If I support the president & he succeeds, don't I succeed also? That would be bi-partisanship. From what I have read, the Republicans were locked out of the negotiations for the stimulus bill. Lamely, they did the same thing to the Democrats on major legislation when they were in power. This is Washington politics, as usual. Could Republican opposition to the stimulus bill be based on their beliefs for solving the economic crisis? Would you vote for something if your ideas weren't even considered? The Democratic Congress doesn't care if the Republicans are on board. They can pass anything they like on a straight party vote. This is not bi-partisanship. Bi-partisanship involves the art of compromise. I believe that making fun of a political party, either party, because they won't do what the other party wants, is ridiculous. Why have two parties if they have to think the same way? I truly hope our new president can forge an atmosphere of cooperation & bi-partisanship in the future.

I have 3 original iPhones & pay roughly $200 a month for the 1400 minute Family Plan. For me it's not worth the extra $30-50 per month for the new & faster features of the 3G. The original iPhone is still awesome, especially with the new version 2 software. I think Hawk offers a valuable perspective to help others make what will be an expensive choice. And for Zack, who I have the greatest respect for, I wouldn't characterize his article as a "rant," just a contrary point of view.

Jim, I care about his vacation. Get a grip.

Zach, I feel for you. Anyone who states an informed opinion these days is condemned to listen to these know-it-all Internet crazies hurl their lame insults. Monty, h, r, macfan & the like are so impressed with themselves they won't respect another opinion. They live in the realm of emotion & resort to name calling when they have no argument to fall back on. You're a class act. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your columns.

What a disgusting & disgraceful thing to say. People's lives & property are at risk & you want to make some fast cash. Taking advantage of a bad situation is one thing, but rooting for it is evil. Folks like you give Capitalism a bad name.

Hey, wait a minute..... uncaring, unfeeling, selfish, unscrupulous, greedy, immoral - Tim must have been the real life model for Gordon Gecko? By the way, characteristics such as having no conscience and the inability to empathize with others are the telltale signs of a sociopath.

Hugh Gass aka Huge Ass: Funny how people like you & Sykes throw around terms like "pussies" to describe all of us (i.e. the non-sociopaths) in the world who have a little compassion. I guess I'm proud to be a pussy then.

"I hope it's massive." Sounds like emotion to me. Plus, you keep missing the point. Please, make money. And make money from natural disasters. Just don't root for it to happen.

Dear Gass-bag, happy to do it. You must not have much of a life if that made your day.

Tim - you're certainly not a professional. Professionals have standards, codes & ethics. You're just a young man who is still quite impressed with himself. Throwing around phrases like "pussies," "whiny babies," "stfu" and the like makes you sound like a highschooler. Talking like a badass doesn't make you one. As you get a little older maybe the light will come on. Stop measuring your manhood by how many dollars you can cram into your bank account. The measure of a man is character, and you sir apparently have very little. That goes for all of your sycophantic defenders, too. Well, your site has certainly been interesting, but I think I'll return to somewhere where the members have souls. Cheers.

PS Tim, you missed your calling. You should have been an attorney.
