So you're saying that America WAS NOT built by genocide and on the back of slaves? Yea, I saw no argument with Moore on that. While Moore is a little too far to the left for my taste, he made a point there that I cannot disagree with. While that part...  [Read More]

I have not lost anything, fact is Obama made the pledge/contract, McCain started into the Public Financing and then Obama renigged. That is a breach of contract. Hedging your bet now? Earlier you said it was a contract. First off I must apologize t...  [Read More]

By admitting that McCain was locked in even before Obama made the decision to accept private financing, you've effectively demonstrated that it wasn't Obama's fault under promissory estoppel that McCain had spending limits. Thanks for making my argum...  [Read More]

You need to read the bills that made it to Bush's desk because Bush cannot vote in the United States Senate. Did I misread Rogue Nine's comment. I thought Rogue Nine's comment about Bush involved Bush's policies not bills. Oh, and my history may be v...  [Read More]

Well, looks like we'll have to hold him to the consequences for breaching the contract outlined in the contract. Let us give him the worse punishment possible, he has to clean up the mess Bush has made. Actually there is because you can define it a...  [Read More]

At the time he didn't have that money though, when he made the pledge it was back in 2007 when the primaries were underway, he stood to gain politically by taking the public funds pledge for the general election, that he wouldn't secumb to special in...  [Read More]

McCain however had made the pledge as well, and McCain was the Republican Nominee, so Obama was in breach of contract. You know saying something over and over does not make it true. Even the Republican Contract with American was not a legal contrac...  [Read More]

Consideration: Both would end up on same footing with no way for either side to gain an overwhelming advantage. (this is actually the most contraversial requirement for a contract) Thus both receive something. (neither Obama nor McCain expected to ge...  [Read More]

The United States allows for Oral contracts to be made, while it is harder to prosecute someone over an oral contract, if you have a video tape or audio tape it does show that there is indeed a contract. Yes they do. So again I ask where is the consi...  [Read More]

No, technically if you look at the definition I found, he did break a contract, you can have an oral contract, especially if there is a video record. Some wills are on audio or video tape. Where is the consideration required to make a legal contract...  [Read More]

First Obama did not break any laws or contracts. He said he would negotiate with the Republican nominee, and that is all. Once the money started rolling in Obama would have been a fool to limit the money he could spend especially considering the mone...  [Read More]
