A capital gain is a profit that results from investments into a capital asset, such as stocks, bonds or real estate, which exceeds the purchase price. It is the difference between a higher selling price and a lower purchase price, resulting in a financial gain for the investor.

The difference for some is between what is said and what actually takes place.
Not just him, but virtually all of them.

I have just heard the dumbest question ever asked during a Republican debate...

Wolff Blizter asked of all four candidates: "Whose wife would make the best 1st Lady"

If Gingrich thought Romney's wife would be the best, is he supposed to say so ?
If Paul thought Santorum's wife would be better because she is younger, is he supposed to say so.

I could get a whole lot nastier about each of the women, but I leave those titillations to the Reader.


Wolff, go sit in the dunce-corner for the next two weeks

We've come a long way, baby. Not.

Now get in that kitchen and make me a pie!

Gingrich's answer should have been: "Mine ... whichever one! and if she isn't, I'll upgrade. Again."

Romney: "Mine ... all of them!"

RNC Chair Priebus compares Obama to Captain Schettino

<snip>
It's part of the campaign circus - candidates and their surrogates slinging mud to sway voters.
But Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus took the bashing to a new level
in comparing Mr. Obama to the captain of the capsized Costa Concordia cruise ship,
in speaking with Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

"In the end, in a few months, this is all going to be ancient history
and we're going to talk about our own little Captain Schettino,
which is President Obama who is abandoning the ship here in the United States.
He's more interested in campaigning than doing his job as President," Priebus said.

Reince's parents must be so proud.

Michael Steele, where are you in this time of need ?

It's a shame the Republican's can't do any better than this.
Their candidates can't stand one another, so how do they expect
the nation's voting public to elect any one of them.
To boot, they elect this guy" to be Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

If the Republicans keep this up, Merc and UG will be voting for Obama

The actual question was more like:
“Why would your wife make the best First Lady?”
Still pointless, IMO, but a lot different than "Whose..." YMMV

Is Laura Bush the only first lady who killed someone?

[classicman]

nah - The Clinton's got way more than that.

[Spexxvet]

No - their hands are clean. They just "made it happen". Laura was driving the car.

lol - kinda funny read on it here

[Spexxvet]

The contractor doing the work on our house listens to conservative talk radio all day - you know, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity. On Thursday, I took off from work. There were a bunch of little, dark-complected, Spanish speaking guys doing the drywall work. After they left, I ask the contractor if he had made sure the workers were citizens. He snickered and said that he hadn't, and for their price, probably weren't. "But the owner must be, because he's insured and bonded".

Principles: It's what's convenient.

Oh, HALE no! I have it on good authority that Michelle used to be a terrorist, Hillary enjoyed slaying the occasional hobo, and Barbara played a mean round of Doom.
