Yesterday, Romney said - and this is a quote...that he LIKES firing people.
Santorum said he doesn't want to ever help Black people, as if Black people are the only ones on welfare. IMHO, he's a pretty obvious closet-case who crusades tirelessly one one issue - homosexuality...out of nothing more that a witless combination of pure self-loathing and naked pandering.
Gingrich positions himself as an 'outsider' and a moralist, though he's a lobbyist who used to be Speaker of the House, and has gone through a string of mistresses apparently marrying several of them, happily taking millions for gambling interests and big insurance companies.
Tomorrow, Chris Christie is probably going to say that his favorite food is puppies deep fried in fresh kitten fat.
I'm not...quite sure who these people are supposed to be appealing to.

So yeah, they are appealing to selfish, hateful, cruel and inconsiderate jerks.

This guy is so full of shit.. Father was the CEO of American Motors, he was a Governor and had a position in Nixon's cabinet. Now that's what I call "entry level"

(And I live in NJ and have no idea what they say it means.)

Like all good magic tricks, it involves missdirection. While we're all watching the primary circus. GROVER NORQUIST is performing the real magic out of sight. Redistricting for the purpose of expanding controle of the house, and pushing voter restriction laws to steal the senate. I'm. Even suspicious about sen.Ben Nelsons early retirement. With that feat accomplished they will be set for the next trick. The dissapearance of the middle class. All while blaming it on president Obama. Who they know they can't beat. Spread the word. We can't stop it if everyone is unaware of it.

(16,350 posts)Do you really think the Republican party will settle for irreparably severely damaged goods and allow another election to slip out of their reach when they have another option in the wings? I don't.
I fear a late entry of Jeb Bush, maybe as late as the convention. With that the well-oiled Bush machine will shift into high gear, if it's not there already. That machine plays to win, whatever it takes. It will steal what it cannot earn.
I see this as a strong possibility, and this one is much more talented than the other 2 Bushes. Americans have very short memories and they'll believe Jeb when he says he's the New Improved Bush. Like the others but without the warts.
We want one of the current crop to sustain viability past the point of no return. So let's hold some of our fire a little longer. We want it to be one of them. Let it play out. Then we pounce and never let up.

(12 posts)Look at what the tea baggers were able to do with controle of just the house. Is any one worried about loosing the senate to shady dealings going on now. While wory about the presidential nominee.

It's like they live in a seperate universe where no one they know has lost their job, house, had medical problems or a medical bancruptcy, shitty schools or a need for anyone but themselves. I don't ever remember growing up with/or around people like that and I'm 60 years old.
It seems the entire United States of America is a lie that everyone but me was in on.
