The GOP’s Koch/Bircher base are going to be so upset when they realize that Romney’s their only chance to beat Obama. (Well, the only one they’d allow. No way they’ll allow anyone even remotely sane or principled, like Huntsman or Hagel. And Christie? An East Coast guy with weight issues? That just gives Mike Huckabee, who through rapid weight loss is literally half the man he used to be, the chance to favorably compare himself to Christie, and imply that Christie’s weight is a sign of a person without willpower or self-discipline, et cetera.)

I said it first…..give Perry enough time and he will either shoot himself in the foot or fall down a manhole.

I love it when I’m right.

For the 13% who have abandoned Perry, the people of the State of Texas thank you.

OTOH………HERMAN CAIN?????? He’s a pizza guy.

I kinda like Huntsman. But, he’s in second place among Mormons. George Will mentioned this n Sunday, no matter happens to the “undercard”,Romney, i nhis 7 years running for POTUS, has not been able to break the 26% barrier.

For all Obama’s drawbacks, people just don’t want another idiot from Texas in the White House.

OTOH………HERMAN CAIN?????? He’s a pizza guy.

And it’s not even good pizza.

If Romney is the last man standing, the fundies and T-parties will have their shorts in a knot and won’t vote. That ought to make up for the Left not voting for Obama, so he squeaks through. This was the plan from the beginning. The PTB have bought and paid for Obama, and he’s been good to them.

Yeah, when he shot that coyote, he lost me.

In other news, fat Christie has “decided” not to run.

Or maybe he’ll change his mind now that Perry’s out.

Do I care?

I’ve been hoping he would shoot himself in the foot AND fall down a manhole. And then I could rush forward with the manhole cover.

We are witnessing the power of the ELITES here

Mitt Romney was always their guy!

Sarah Palin, Michelle Bauchman, Rick Perry are clowns they use to entertain their base of MORONS! “49% of GOP voters do not know what GOP stands for”

Mitt Romney like OBAMA was created by the Wall Street Elites

Only a PUPPET of WALL STREET can stay in the WH

Rick Perry, main goal was to destroy Sarah Palin, Michelle Bauchman

Eh? I always figured that Perry, Bachmann & Palin were just fluffers sent forth to jazz up the base. Perry may be from TX (now? always? I don’t care enough to find out), but W was placed in the WH bc he’s part of the Bush Crime Syndicate. The TX thing was incidental, and frankly, bogus. Being from TX ain’t important. Perry may make money from the Old Boys network, but he’s never really been in the running. Just window dressing.

Not that it matters. the PTB will choose who they want to be in the WH. Whether the rightwingnut base refuses to vote for Magic Undies or not, if the PTB want Mittens to be figurehead POTUS, then that’s who it’ll be.

Cain? An idiotic doofus that the PTB permitted to behave like a jerk-off asshole when he is on a public stage. All Cain is for is to posture before the populace as if the PTB are ever so equality-minded. I could go on about why I think Cain was permitted to make a giant horse’s ass out of himself, but I’ll stop right there.

I owe you a drink cuz we pretty much said the same thing. What’re ya having????

Michele’s staff – apparently many who had worked in her office – are going back to the office. Campaign now in the dumpster but she just hasn’t admitted it yet.

well behind front runner Mitt Romney

How it is always stressed out by MSM that Mr. Romney is a front-runner without any basis because primary votes are not in yet.
He got people of Massachusetts an Individual Mandate for AHIP & Pharma. If he cannot figure out that this was a bad idea, that it is an absolutely wrong idea for long term sustenance of economy by forcing people into neo-feudalism without hope for future and innovation we all should wonder what will be in-store for the country if by any chance he gets elected. Looks like pretty much an individual who listens to bad ideas, agrees with them whole-heartedly and has huge support in MSM for implementing them. Pretty much sure individual mandates will be the main issue on which no body will vote for him.

Whenever I listen once in a while just for info sake it is MSM talk show hosts who pretty much keep on raising him to the sky for some unknown reason and all the regular people who logically think and talk, once in a while do call in stating why they do not like his policies or vote for him and they are shouted down blatantly with silly distractive points etc. Now looks like MSM has picked up Mr. Christie for some unknown reason again.

Back in the days of the feminist movement, there was some discussion about how to get rid of all the words that embedded “man.” (Yeah, I know, not enough hours in the day, but there it is.) Suggestion was to substitute people, but some dissed the idea bc it was too long, so next suggestion was to shorten it to peep, which I often do now in typing. It was to be regretted that under those rules, manhole became peephole.

I was never concerned about Bachmann making the grade. Don’t like her, but she was never going to be choice of the PTB. Too weird and less controllable than even Palin (who’s also lost favor with the PTB and will never ever be given a chance remotely like the one she was given in 08; ain’t gonna happen; Bible Spice may continue to be paid off by the PTB, but that’ll be it).

Just a question, don’t you think the right wants to defeat Obama so bad that they will vote regardless of who’s running? Seems the right hates O so much would they want another 4 years? Just thinkin out loud.

I mentioned on another post that I’ve noticed that the political cartoons are all carefully drawn to show Mittens as the front-runner… with no real *basis* for it.

The Kabuki Show is particularly BLATANT in this case.

That said, I have paid little attention to that other Kabuki Show: the so-called Republican “debates.” Political “debates” these days are pretty much useless bc the fascist media will promptly spew forth some talking points that citizens are supposed to “believe” as to what was said & what it “really means.”

Might as well just read the entrails of dead chickens, imo, as to listen to the rightwing media-speak telling us what to “believe.” BAH.

Kabuki Show. Nothing more, nothing less.

The reason his poll numbers are going south is due to American’s figuring out that he is a moderate. He is too close to all you left wing nut jobs that exist on this blog and in the White House. The reason Cain’s is going up is that he is a Conservative and far apart from you left wing Marxists.

i agree

obama is despised and the gop cons would vote for [use your imagination] to beat the black socialist fascist

Doesn’t matter, popeye.

Rightwing voters are just so much detritus to the PTB (the upper 1%). ALL of us serfs are part of the 99%. We don’t “count” at all, no matter what our political beliefs are or who we vote for.

Ever hear about Diebold?

If the PTB WANT Barack Obama to be POTUS (from their perspective, why would the upper 1% NOT want Obama back to be their figurehead POTUS?), then that’s who will “win.”

It doesn’t matter how the serfs VOTE… that is just more Kabuki show.

That said, I do encourage everyone to vote, regardless.

Hi BackEast: yeah right.

I see you decided to be more, uh, “inventive” in your writing style.

Thanks for sharing…

I guess Ron Paul dropped out of the race. I can only guess.

BackEast aka HeadedWest, is that you?

Now I owe you a drink.

LOL. I just hope that none deem “manhole cover” to be an anti-gay remark.

All one has to do is watch the Corporate Media,

Mitt Romney never gets dirty, even the MSNBC puppets keep Mitt Romney clean.

The GOP has always been manage from the top down, the TEA PARTY was created to hide the Racist Element within the GOP. “You can’t have GOP voters running shouting we love the KKK in 2011, thus the need for the Tea Party”

The elites knew their league of MORONS would not vote for MITT ROMNEY in the primaries, so they got Rick Perry to get on stage and kill other clowns like Palin, and Bachman.

Most liberals, progressives, tea partiers, gopers, etc. think the 2012 campaign is just beginning, well it is not! it is OVER!!!

Mitt Romney is going to be the next president of the USA!

because the RICH always win, in the USA they know own and control with a tight fist

Occupy Wall Street protesters are way to smart, they know the CAPITAL of the USA is WALL STREET!!! DC is just a CIRCUS act or KABUKI show for the MASSES

Right now: make it an iced tea.

Paging David Koch: pleaseohplease oh gracious lord & master (tugging on forelock)… PLEASE hire a better sockpuppet to hassle us poor LIEburls… this one SUCKS big time…

This typing comments stuff if fraught with dangers.

Yes. It was all “over” before it even started. Quite agree. Kabuki show. Waste of time, frankly. And more importantly: a giant sucking WASTE of money at a time when this nation can least afford it. I guess these idiotic “campaigns” do employ some serfs. That is the small cold comfort that I take from these pathetic three ring circuses signifying nothing at all. Lotta hot air.

As you mentioned this playing favorites is becoming very obvious to the point of shouting down callers especially when they call in to say they support Rep. Paul or Mr. Perry and they do not even get a chance to explain their stance.

Actually the one I listened to recently was where actually a Mr. Perry supporter who called in and she said why she wants to vote for him and not for Mr. Romney. She was on the point of making logical arguments on her choice. She was literally shouted down (MSM host was making childish noises, garbling her whole speech to the point of incomprehension) without giving her getting a chance to elaborate further. She really got emotional to the point of crying at the shouting down and that’s when the conversation ended.

English breakfast, Earl Gray, or green tea with lemongrass?

No, Ron Paul is most likely still in the race, but as you note, the PTB have always sidelined him. I have my issues with Paul – some pretty big ones, I admit – but I’ve always said that Paul should be given the same time, etc, as the rest of the nutballs & goofheads paid to parade themselves in the Kabuki Show.

Of course, the PTB HATE Paul bc he is anti-WAR, Inc. Can’t have much of that being talked about, now can we???

Green iced tea, please! No sugar; take it as it comes! yummm

Herman Cain is a Carl Rove “Race Clown”

Herman Cain main mention is to keep the masses from calling the GOP the party of Rich White GUYS, that only cares about Rich White Guys

ask Michelle Bauchman and Sarah Palin, neither had chance in hell of ever winning the GOP nomination

Herman Cain is playing Tackle for Mitt Romney who is the GOP QB for 2012

I agree with you but I was just thinking that the right will vote for anyone to get Obama out of the WH. Hate runs deep Que Hank Williams Jr. I myself believe their is only one party and it doesn’t matter who you vote for. They all suck. Maybe that should be the bumper sticker. *g*

Yeah I can believe it, and I give you props for having the stomach to listen to that hateful sh*t.

Hey: I’m no Perry fan; not in the slightest. but duly noted: on the ONE thing where Perry makes some actual sense, boyohboy does he get kicked in the nuts good ‘n proper by the the reichwing fascists.

Of course, that’s all deliberate. The Bush brothers, back in the day, used to say similar stuff re so-called “illegal aliens,” and, what’s more, “get away with it.” Nowadays, the Overton window’s been pushed further rightward, and if you’re not some ideological zealot racist bigoted fascist purist, then you’re a – gasp! shriek! – LIBERAL!!!

Heaven forfend!!! I refer you to one of resident rightwing troll sock puppets maquerading as HeadedWest @19 this am. Why Perry is to compared quite negatively to us DFHs… and THAT, my friend, is the Kiss o death!!

Kabuki Show!!! Circus!!!

The rightwing can vote however they please! It don’t matter. Whomever the PTB want in is who will “win.”

Kabuki Show.

Create your bumper sticker, though. Sounds good to me!

Hank Williams is just window-dressing, quite honestly. I think he’s out of tune… comparing Obama to Hitler is sooooo 2009, frankly. What a dolt. ptoui

In election debates every candidate should be given equal time to explain their views so that the viewers can make a informed choice. As far as I know Rep. Paul always figures out in the top 3, does not forget equal time nor even the time his position, honorable conduct and experience in the congress deserves on the air and for some reason even his call-in supporters on the air are shouted down and the host starts making a weird noise without even listening to them first and stating why they oppose it on a logical basis. BTW I do not agree with Rep Paul on some of his positions but everybody should get a chance to air them and state the logical justification for that.

something like that.

Palin is toast – stick a fork in her: she’s DONE.
I get why some loathe Palin with a hatred of a 1000 white-hot suns, but I no longer fear the Grifter Media Whore. Roger Ailes may be encouraged to keep buying her off as a useful idiot to entertain the dittoheads, but that’s all that will happen with her. The sun has set on Palin.

Bingo! Anti-war is “anti-American” to most on the right. Reduce military spending….sacrilege. BUt let’s get real…Ron Paul doesn’t LOOK like a president. And that’s important to us. Just look at who we have elected since ’60. Nixon doesn’t count.

Again: Paul is anti-WAR, Inc.

Paul will ALWAYS be shouted down or not given equal air time or whatever. The MIC Hates Paul. Paul will never ever have a fair chance. Not gonna happen.

I’m not a huge Paul fan, but I’ve always supported his right to run. And I’ve consistently been annoyed with how he’s not really given equitable air time. However, just more Kabuki Show.

Take notes. This is how it’s done.

What Paul *looks like* is completely irrelevant. Sorry to disagree on that score.

Keep your eyes on the prize: Paul will NEVER be a serious contender bc he is Anti-WAR, Inc. Period. THAT is THE issue. Looks don’t matter. The PTB cannot control Paul, which is one reason why I like him a little bit (on many other levels, I don’t like him & his political beliefs).

THERE IS ONLY ONE POLITICAL PARTY IN THE USA… AND BOTH “ENDS” SUCK!

That is for a very big w-i-d-e bumper.

ONE PARTY – BOTH “SIDES” SUCK! or ONE PARTY – IT SUCKS BOTH WAYS!

Those are for middle-sized bumbers.

ONE PARTY – IT SUCKS!

That one is for hybrids …

Something along those lines, perhaps, popyeye?

;~DW

Mary Matalin addressed the issue of party loyalty on Sunday. She said, “Democrats fall in love, republicans fall in line.” SHe’s pretty smart and glib. I think she’s right. The GOP will unite behind anybody who gets the nomination to defeat Obama. But that’s not enough “by itself”. They will need a good percentage of the independents and some disaffected Obama supporters who are not necessarily “anti-republicans”.

We’ll agree to disagree. Not just me, but many think Paul talks and looks like a kook, sometimes.

Sliding down the bar. Good choice. Brand is Good Earth & it’s really delicious.

You have an enviable entrepeuneurial mind. NOt to mention a good sense of s-p-a-c-i-n-g.

“you left wing Marxists.” I resemble that remark, and proudly, too.

Left winger in the White House. That’s funnier than a box of hammers.

Aren’t you Back East? Or Headed West?

I think all this backing and forthing has got his/her brains addled.

Actually, he’s lost his compass. And probably the moral one, as well.

Looks and sound bites do not matter.

Action and Talk in upholding constitution, Conduct in line with Democratic principles, Honorable behavior, Ensuring Fair & Equitable Justice, Enacting policies even if unpopular are in the best long term and short term interests of the country these are the things which are important. If need of examples Pres. Jefferson, Pres. Washington, Pres. Lincoln, Pres. Teddy Roosevelt, Pres. Franklin Roosevelt etc.

Suppose that a whole bunch of people who WILL NOT vote for Obama, instead, vote write-ins, or go Green, or something else … perhaps even “NONE OF THE ABOVE” … will that be at Obama’s “cost”, maybe even costing other, downticket dems … or will such actions suggest “buying” the R “line”?

What if most people decide that it is ALL useless kabuki … as many “here” have long since concluded?

What if it doesn’t matter because having no “real” choice is having no choice at all?

What if the whole thing is divide and conquer?

What if it signifies only that none of us have ANY choice about much of anything.

What if people catch on?

What if people stopped wasting their time with all of the political kabuki and started to consider what the people will have to do to actually have some choices?

What if people choose to do that, newcarguy?

Right now in Congress the Tea Party wacked out right are trying to put over a bill aimed at forcing the Chinese to allow their currency to rise against the dollar, a move that could set off a trade war and is angering the Chinese. It’s so bad and so out there that Boehner is talking strongly against it, saying it is far from the kind of thing Congress should be doing, messing with another country’s currency, let alone CHINA’s currency. IMO, the corporate power wants as president someone who can stand against the right’s lunatic fringe with its suicidally bad policies. Is that someone Obama? Maybe this is why the PTB are backing Romney?

No moral compass at all.

Texas still has him, though, along with
lots of paranoid clowns bringing their
guns onto Texas campuses.

I mean to say, there are surely guns on campus.
And I mean to say, it’s the paranoid clowns
carrying them.

I really can’t imagine how a psychiatrist might
contemplate where to start.

But, at least, certainly if he could still have
the chance to do so, and, of course, if
he were a Texan rather than an Arizonan,
this guy would still vote
for Perry (I really know nothing of Perry’s character / psyche,
though I simply happen to think Loughner would
go for him:)

http://goo.gl/zMHhP

http://goo.gl/Mk7XG

http://goo.gl/yB8vW

Gays occur optimally, ordinarily, after so many generations:
genetic numerical advantage “to the group.”

Particularly since he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet,
I have to say I do not know anything whatsoever of Mr. Loughner’s
psyche (though actually I might in my own thinking have a
good suspicion as to much of it.) Whatever is his nature,
just generally speaking, there surely is a confined, discernible,
accidentally process self-generated group of negative people.

They have been a product of fear.
The “East” is identical except for that.

I agree that it’s a waste of time and a damnable distraction from real issues. I think the whole Obama campaign put the left years behind in organizing and gathering strength. The Obama debacle has, though, awakened millions to the fact that the present political two party set up is corrupt to the core and has to be set aside. So in that sense there has been some benefit.

They All Suck with a donkey and an elephant. Great bumper sticker!

That is insightful. The prez must look preznitial.

I would say that’s quite a benefit, providing the straw that broke the camel’s back (finally!). Thank you, Obama.

What Paul looks like is in his case irrelevant because his policies are the kiss of death. I think what newcarguy was getting at is that even for a candidate whose policies were all the corporate powers could desire, he/she would still have to look presidential. The days when a Nixon or Johnson could be elected are over. Eisenhower? Guided the military to winning WWII. But he was BALD!

IT SUCKS BOTH WAYS! That’s some image! Kinky!

Perry is imploding, and Christie took himself out of the race. That can mean only one thing: Sarah Palin is going to start warming up in the bullpen.

Couldn’t happen to a less nice guy. Mr. Perry is an overblown haircut, a prettier, slightly more articulate George Bush, similarly challenged in earning a gentleman’s “C”. He is as two-faced as many top politicians, but remarkably less able to hide it. A guy running Texas fifty years after LBJ, who names his faux ranch “Niggarhead”, is much too honest a Republican to be president.

The automatic s/w that deletes comments that accurately describe the life and names explicitly voiced by Mr. Perry needs more updating than Mr. Perry’s politics.

Eh? You ‘n newcarguy have a point about looks, etc. But the commentary about Paul being a “kook” etc – if coming from the so-called “maintream” media – has much more to do with Paul’s Anti-WAR, Inc stance than anything else.

If the PTB really really liked Paul, they’d find some way to gussy him up and make him look Presidential…. just like they did their d*mndest with Palin. Paul’s looks aren’t his biggest stumbling block is all I’m saying.

I think we’re all more on the same page, then not… but I take your insights… you both have a point.

Looks and sound bites should not matter. Your description of what should matter is excellent. Will we ever arrive at that condition?

TeeVee is responsible for much of the degradationa and corruption of politics today. Of course the power it gives to those who have the big money, but also the way it cheapens political discourse, not just in terms of the rhetoric but also in terms of personal appearance. Lincoln was mocked ferociously for his appearance, gaunt and homely, called an ape. But today Lincoln would not have come close to the presidency. Kennedy won the debate against Nixon probably in part because he was handsome.

with respect, I disagree, other than that Palin may just be the next fluffer. Seriously doubt that Palin stands a snowball’s chance in hell…

The Obama debacle has, though, awakened millions to the fact that the present political two party set up is corrupt to the core and has to be set aside. So in that sense there has been some benefit.

Gotta use what we have… Some portion of the populace is waking up to how utterly corrupt crony capitalism has beome. It’s a starting point, I hope.

Yes, we’re on the same page. The bottom line with Paul is his policies. As you say they are his real stumbling block. Palin, even though she’s pretty, seems to have blown it with the corporate powers through being just too wacky. Same with Bachmann (though she sometimes looks bizarre).

sock puppet, but I, too, was furiously HURT that BackEast/HeadedWest neglected to hurl out that I’m a Marxist/Stalinist Che Guevara boot licker. I mean: c’mon! Let’s get it together.

I said on an earlier thread that these sock puppets are getting really lazy anymore and not really earning their money.

How sad is it that we’ve gotten so deeply mired in catastrophe that it took a disastrous president like O to wake so many of us up?

Yeah, they have gotten so inept the only thing to do with them is laugh at them.

If you’ll make that quiz multiple choice, I’d do a whole lot better.

BTW, I’m the same as old carguy, just had to get a new account.

Palin & Bachmann have only ever been useful idiots, imo.

I was more “worried” about Palin in 2008, and I confess that Henry Kissinger really “got one” over on me. Fool me once: shame on you.

I now see the game, and I know what’s going on (for the most part).

Palin was just sent forth to get the leftwing jizzed up so that we’d GOTV for Obama. There were a lot of us – like me – who were very much on the fence vis Obama until they sent forth Palin to fool us all.

That Palin became the worshipped goddess of the Tea Party was incidental and not the main goal… which is why she’s no longer the darling of the rightwing PTB. Palin was never the “one” that the PTB wanted. She is just a fluffer for the wingnut base. No more, no less. Palin will never, ever get even close to where she was placed in 2008. Ailes may keep giving her big money, I dunno, but that’s all Palin can aspire to anymore. Done: stick a fork in Palin. She’s D-O-N-E.

Pretty steep learning curve…….Ever see Leno’s “Jaywalking”????

Many of us have been aware for a long, long time, but it takes a bit longer for a larger number to wake up. It is the way it is.

Many of us here have been saying the same stuff since the mid to late ’60s, and we didn’t stop after the Viet Nam War ended. We saw what the “jig” was, and it wasn’t just Viet Nam. It’s just that, for a larger portion of the populace, stopping Viet Nam was enough. It was the road to perdition from there, and it’s taken the world economy collapsing – sadly – to get many others to wake the EFF up…. too bad. that’s seems to be what it took.

Palin’s HALF-governorship and HALF-country political bus tour have showed us she’s a QUITTER. We don;t like quitters in this country. We also don’t like people who write the test answers on their hand.
Gotta admit though, she plays well in the boondocks and anywhere the average IQ isunder 100.

Nicely put.

Point taken. I don’t see her getting the nomination, but she’s itching to get back into the spotlight. You might be right: she’ll publicly dither over running, which doesn’t commit her to the campaign grind but gets her the media exposure she craves.

Still, nature abhors a vacuum, and the Not Romney semi-finalist in the GOP tournament is currently a vacuum.

Actually, he’s lost his compass.

His astrolabe and sextant, too, and his longitude clocks are in the shop.

Useful idiot. Fluffer. That’s it. She may be able GRIFT some more money out of the PTB to play to boonies, as you say, and that’s about it. I’m not sure that even my fundie family members worship Bible Spice with quite the same, uh, vigor as they used to. Now that Beck’s been relegated to a less stellar place in the firmament, I’m sure that the wingnuts are being gradually weened off of the Media Whore and being prepped to accept Magic Undies as the next big thing.

It’s how it all works over in rightwingland. Doug Coe has already passed out the talking points for his “Family” of ministers to barf out from the pulpit.

agree with you vis the vacuum of second place… could be Palin, but I suspect it will be Huntsman. But I could be wrong. Time will tell… Palin would be “useful” in that role, much as she was “useful” in a similar role in 2008.

I feel like I’ve been fighting the SAME STUFF for decades now… guess it’s because that’s what I HAVE been doing…. boots on the ground, consciousness raising, etc, over & over … much of about the semi-secret shadow govt that runs the nation. The stench of Henry Kissinger hanging over it all, endlessly….

I think I agree. I firmly believe HER celebrity clock is at 14 minutes and 25 seconds.

OTOH, personally, and I speak on behalf of Tina Fey as well, I’m gonna miss her. :-)

????? Does Huntsman HAVE the $$$$ to stick around long enough?????

If this MSM playing favorites becomes too much and if a sufficient number of people want to write-in it will become a different ball game and we can get leaders with the qualities listed above.

Before HCR debate I used to have doubts on whether my logic was based on either less facts or MSM was wrong. During HCR debate I saw a letter soliciting money to speak on any side on this issue from MSM on internet. That pretty much cleared up on why we are seeing illogical non-sense being spouted on MSM always.

For example yesterday we had senate covering currency manipulation bill. It is something of a valid issue which will affect Americans after couple of years in a big way on which the viewers opinion could be solicited. On the MSM channel I spent few minutes topics were about a cat with two faces who got into record book and the next one was about a American girl in Italy having legal issues. Not even a word about the currency bill.

Thought ya might be, carguy (… after thinking … for about ten minutes, “… the nerve of that guy! stealin’ a ‘handle’ and acting like nothing in particular peculiar is goin’ on …”).

Those are kind of rhetorical questions, addressed more broadly … not to you, individually … partly to the very idea that some here, still carry on as if there were ANY choice, real choice about anything … you see I have come (long since, I admit) to the conclusion that there are not two political parties … merely a cunningly contrived appearance of such, a tweak of ye olde “divide and conquer …”

The difficulty facing Americans, I am convinced, is to consciously seek to bridge that divide, social infrastruture “rebuilding”, if you will.

I realize that not too many agree with this perception, most, apparently, still believing, and I use that word very deliberately, in the concept of two, warring and, in at least one case, honorable, “parties” duking it out for the “mandate” to serve, as the Brits quaintly put it, “Gawd and Country” …

There is NO evidence to support this belief … merely delusion, habit, and, frankly, learned ill-will …

Ah well, the kabuki is tiresome, the exclamations of superiority, childish, and the unexamined ties to “boxed” and wrapped “tradition” in political “thought” is mind-numbing …

What if we were, collectively, to consider something “different” even as those at OWS appear to be DOING?

What if …?

DW

Yeah……likje when they changed Darrens on Bewitched and thought we were too stupid to notice.

Hell, I picked up on that the 4th or 5th episode.

What if…indeed.

I think it must begin at the grassroots level. I am going to my first precinct meeting EVER because I am sick and tired of this crap. I just moved to a new house and precinct where the GOP is pretty dominant so, as one of the few democrats in the neighborhood, I MIGHT be ablt to have some influience. I am a very influential guy. Handsome, well spoken, kinda of a “Rick Perry” with morals and a social conscience. I’m following in my grandpa’s footsteps. “There is nothing wrong with America that can’t be fixed with what’s right with America.” Or something like that…….

If I am successful, I’ll be at the convention. Look for me, I’ll be the one with the NASCAR hat.

And I mean “the ONE”.

Yes I agree there is only one party that is always my motto. A 99% window sign for my car will be good as well. Also have my Original Firebagger t-shirt to wear as well. *g*

Yes it would. *g*

I beg your pardon–I’m a socialist not a Marxist.
