I am sorry, it's the semantics.
Yes. That is how I understand it.
yes. It takes some political work to get your name on a state's ballot though, and he is only going to do that in South Carolina. That is how he will technically be seeking the presidency, but only on the SC primary ballot. It's all been one extended joke he's made of the process of electing a candidate, and he's said he'd be surprised and happy to hear that he gets jut one delegate from SC. @ Ramen:
take economics. I don't have my book on me now, but there's a reason no country in the world uses the gold standard. and I think he's been quoted as wanting to get rid of the federal reserve, which would be retarded. |

Why does the world need a return to the Gold Standard? As things stand, all that's needed is a reduction in the United States' national debt- keeping to a floating currency shouldn't be too hard provided confidence in the USD can be restored.
And this is a bad thing why? It's a choice between pulling out now and leaving the nation to implode spectacularly, Vietnam-style, or staying and exerting a stabilising influence on the situation whilst the country continues to thrash its way through its development. Running away with your collective tail between your legs would be a juvenile way of handling the situation- unless the situation really is pointless. |

It is pointless. And I did not know that Vietman "imploded," something new to me. We have to "Run with our tail between our legs" because we went in there not knowing what the heck we were doing. Most of the Iraqi citizens want us out, as apposed to most of them liked that we were there at first, but now they're seeing we're just making a mess of things. I didn't say the world needed to, just us. But I needed to make my statement clearer, I said going back to the gold standard was a little overboard. I don't want to go back to it, but I said it would be better than the US dollar going down the drain. It would definitely teach the government that they don't have an endless supply of money. EDIT: And even if Colbert did some how win the popular vote, the Electoral College wouldn't allow him to be president. I just learned more about it in class.
