Be dismissive if it makes you feel better, Doctor Demento. I don't expect to persuade anyone to do what I do, but I have to do what's right for me in my heart and soul. I'd call that "the proper state of humanity," wouldn't you?
Just 299 days until Romney gets his butt kicked by Obama, folks. What's more telling than NH, is IA--not Santorum, who came in second, but rather, Romney, who wasn't supposed to do anything in Iowa at all, but won it. This tells me that "too evangelical, too rural" Iowa has become far more moderate than it was just four years ago when Huckabee won the state--and may be an indicator of how the country is going as a whole. Not only that, Romney is leading in SC and FL as well. Too bad. As a Bachmann supporter, my support isn't coalescing behind any of the remaining candidates. As Steve Deace said in a recent Townhall article, we "debated who could win instead of who should win." I'm voting for and writing in the one who should win: Bachmann. All of the remaining candidates are just more of the same old thing the Republicans always put up for us to vote for--and Obama will be sure to point that out at every opportunity. Go ahead, tell me I'm throwing away my vote, but the election is already lost and at least I'll be able to sleep at night--until the brownshirts come to my door.
Bachmann: A+, real, informed, articulate, measured and presidential. Gingrich: A, informed, articulate, but didn't really have a moment this debate. Santorum: B, well-spoken when given the opportunity, but definitely got the short shrift. Paul: D, got points for some good answers on domestic policy, but had to duck and cover when he started talking about opting out of Obamacare. Romney: C, carefully scripted focus group answers solidified his standing as the candidate who best tells you what he thinks you want to hear. Cain: C, too many answers appeared thin on substance. Huntsman: D, he showed up. Perry: F, for falling off the cliff. Too bad, that answer started out so strong. The audience: A, for booing the moderators' inappropriate behavior.
Government has never done anything efficiently or thriftily. Government needs to shut up, get out of the way...and preferably, go part-time.
"President Barack Obama and other top Democrats are parroting the anti-corporate rhetoric running through the Occupy Wall Street protests..." Funny, fromthe very beginning, fromthe things the protestors were saying as reported by various news outlets, I thought it seemed like it was the protestors who were parroting Obama's anti-business/class warfare/redistributionist nonsense.
Gee, Kelly seems so concerned with the plight of the Coptic Christians, I almost believe she is.
You're right, and it also doesn't show the tax rates as well, and how they relate to the debt and revenue stream. This chart, unfortunately, makes Clinton look like an angel.
Isn't it great seeing total and complete nincompoops exercising their right to free idiotic speech?
Just as blacks have been viewed as a solid voting block by Democrats, so have anti-tax and social conservatives been viewed as a reliable voting block for Republicans--giving us just enough to keep us voting for them, but when it comes down to the tough decisions, they cave every time. Maybe Herman Cain is the one who can not only talk tough, but make the tough decisions as well. Like Lincoln, this could make him a great president.
