Obama/Biden 2012 the only choice for sane Americans

Newt wants moon colonies

Mitten's baptized his dead atheist father-in-law a Mormon


This is going to be a bizarre election season now Newt is attacking Mittens for denying Kosher foods in Nursing Homes

I'm sure he didn't think Mitten's went far enough Newt would have denied them any food at all, especially if they were more tan than him

Although I will say, colonizing the moon is the LEAST insane thing Newt Gingrich has said in months.

That our system has so devolved, that we don't get a choice at all, unless "bat shit crazy" is considered one of the "choices". wouldn't it be nice if we could actually have a choice between sane positions on the issues of the day?

Won by a landslide twice. Then the voters elected the, "bat shit crazy", guy's vice president right after that. For good measure I guess.

I am still shaking my head over that.

Depends on who was directly on the receiving end of those bat shit-crazy policies and getting screwed over by them during the 1980's. They probably have quite a different perspective compared to another person who may have been benefiting from them back then. Those people probably hardly noticed it. But the workers who watched their job be moved overseas during that time sure noticed it.

My point is the right wing was just as bat-shit crazy back then as it is now. Only difference is the bat-shit crazy policies they put in place back then have slowly strangled us like a boa constrictor and are now effecting a lot more people in a negative way these days they they were back then. Therefore a lot more people are now paying attention and becoming politically active.

Morning in America has arrived.

That is what I think.

I seem to remember the term welfare queen being started back then and entitlements that's when they made liberal a dirty word by calling us bleeding heart liberals The hate machine started with Atwater and has only gotten worse I voted for the first time in 88 I got my heart broke when we lost to the hate.
