There are examples from other countries where courier services are allowed to compete for mail delivery. The consensus is that it isn't very efficient or any cheaper with 3 dozen companies doing it compared to one government.

Ok.

Well if it doesn't work in Switzerland, i guess it won't work here. With that logic, i'm surprised anything new gets done ever.

Quick dismissals will get you everywhere.

And the most important issue in this election year is...........

The Post Office!

Congratulations, the post office.

That's the truth.

[Fred Munny]

I hate the post office. I should do like Kramer and just stop getting mail.

Who is RON PAUL???

[Bob Beadles]

Ron Paul is the only candidate running for president who understands that a laissez faire capitalist economic system is superior to any other economic system. Capitalism allows for individual freedom that is not allowed in collectivist economic systems. It allows individuals to express their talents and abilities in any way that they choose. Capitalism is all about freedom. Ron Paul understands that.
All of the other candidates for president believe in big, intrusive and ever expanding government. Big government stifles freedom, ability and initiative. Big government also leads to poverty. Look at Cuba if you want to see the results of big government.
Electing Ron Paul will make this a much more prosperous country with freedom for all. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Elect Ron Paul.

The real problem is that the Republican Party doesn't believe in anything right now.  The moderates support Giuliani.  The libertarians support Paul.  The social conservatives are completely divided.  Romney is the pick for the economic conservatives.  The party has no unifying soul.

Personally, I love it.  It's going to be a long, hard slog through the primaries for the Republicans.  And the more money that they spend in the winter, the less they'll have in the summer and fall.

I think that Paul has a good chance of winning at least one primary.  In a divided field, a candidate can win a state with a committed 15 or 20 percent.

As a Democrat, I believe right now that Mike Huckabee is the most dangerous candidate.  He's dangerous for the same reason that Charles Gibson is the most highly-rated evening newsman.  He's a pleasant, calming presence at a time when things look pretty dark.  He's competent, has experience as a governor and tells a compelling personal story.

Huckabee is the only one that I think can reunite his party.  And he would be the absolute best candidate against Hillary Clinton.

I agree with your assessment of Mike Huckabee.

Problem is, you can measure how far apart from Hillary he is with a ruler.

[The Truth]

Huckabee is the only one that I think can reunite his party.  And he would be the absolute best candidate against Hillary Clinton.

Why's that?  70% (give or take) of the country is against the war, and the war only recently fell to #2 in the issues voters say they care most about.  Hillary doesn't look like she's that worried about ending the war quickly and bringing the troops home.  Instead, she's looking forward to Iran and a continued presence in Iraq.

Ron Paul supports bringing the troops home NOW, from ALL our worldwide bases, and not getting in any more conflicts with countries.  He even voted against the war in the first place, unlike Hillary.

That's the truth.

I think you overlooked McCain.

[Mike Ingels]

He's still running? 

I actually like John McCain.  If the Republicans hadn't messed up so badly during this administration, I'd even consider voting for him.

But it is time for the Democrats to take control.

We all have our favorite person for President.  Maybe I should say man instead of person because anyone who wants the ***** in the Whitehouse has a death wish but the bottom line is in as much as the popular vote means ziltch in a Presidential election, we'll all be voting for the delegates who are supposed to vote the way we want them too.  yeah.
