Hi kids, I’ll be bouncing back and forth between virtual presence in Madison, WI (where the Lib son is among the libbest college students on the planet) and here. The fun’s about to begin.
kesmarn

Sounds good, Kes!
AdLib4 days ago
Me like Libbest!
AdLib4 days ago
Madison is a pinko hotbed — as you know — and has been for many decades!
kesmarn
4 days ago
I didn’t know that.
AdLib4 days ago
Makes sense.
AdLib4 days ago
True! So Christie is promising to start his admin with 120 Days of Anarchy? Great!
kesmarn

Wow….long commercial breaks. They are Super-Capitalists.
kesmarn

Santorum running on crushing those thuggish unions. A real winner there.
kesmarn
4 days ago
That’s less than Carson.
AdLib4 days ago
They’re terrified of Hillary; that’s clear.
kesmarn
4 days ago
That’s what politics has finally been transformed into, just another for-profit venture.
AdLib4 days ago
Can’t imagine why.
AdLib4 days ago
And in this for-profit venture, these are the D grade salesmen.
kesmarn

Is it just me or are they all competing to see who’s denied the most health care to the most people and has been able to cut food stamps the most?
kesmarn

“I hate them ALLLL!!!” Piyush.
kesmarn

This is chaos. Hilarious. They’re not even pretending to answer the questions any more. I smell desperation.
kesmarn
4 days ago
So Christie and Jindal want some 89 year old Gramma to pay 8% income tax on her $650/month SS payment?
kesmarn
4 days ago
Maybe poverty has gone up because you GOPers won’t raise the minimum wage and you’ve outsourced all the jobs?
kesmarn
4 days ago
You said it.
AdLib4 days ago
.
AdLib4 days ago
So income inequality is Obama’s fault now.
kesmarn

So its obamas fault the economy is tanking??? When did that happen?

Hi PPO!

Hi, Ad, Kes! Huckleberry is blathering on about as if his bunch hasn’t been playing free and loose with the financial markets

Ok.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything so totally random in my life. It’s like a free-association psych eval. When are they gonna do the Rohrschach ink blots?
kesmarn

You draft the RICH people. That’s how you get people interested in the military again.
kesmarn
4 days ago
They should be glad Reagan closed the asylums.
AdLib4 days ago
Otherwise they wouldn’t be running around loose wearing something besides strait jackets.
kesmarn
4 days ago
What is Santorum’s military experience again?
kesmarn

He was a major dick.
AdLib4 days ago
And a Major Payne at the same time.

Break time. After that, I need caffeine!
kesmarn

Or tequila?
AdLib4 days ago
Maybe both? Irish coffee? Now the FOX shills are trying to pretend that there was a “winner” of this snooze-fest.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Now you’re talking!
AdLib4 days ago
This is the first time I’ve seen Fox. I’ve never seen so much brown-nosing and grovelling sycophancy!
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
You mean “fair and balanced” reporting?
AdLib4 days ago
(Spew!)
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
Fox tossed puffballs and the candidates obliged with their usual bullshit
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
That’s why the Repubs were all whining when they didn’t have Fox sycophants asking them “Why are you so wonderful?”.
AdLib4 days ago
Sorry Ad, how long to the big one? I’m confused with world timing?
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
30 minutes.
AdLib4 days ago
OK, better get stuff done. Will see you all then
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
See you then!
AdLib4 days ago
This talking heads are actually trying to pretend this was real. LOL! That they asked real questions and that these bozos actually answered them. Too funny.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Oops “These” not “this.” I’m cross-eyed with boredom.
kesmarn
4 days ago
I knew what you meant!
AdLib4 days ago
Yes, that’s how the GOP Bubble works.
AdLib4 days ago
They self-validate the facades they slip over reality.
AdLib4 days ago
It’s not just Ben Carson — it’s all of them. They create their own “reality.” There’s something terrifying and hilarious about it all at the same time.
kesmarn
4 days ago
It’s the only environment that today’s Repubs can operate in. Unreality.
AdLib4 days ago
I was going to say that this is a new era in politics. But it really isn’t. It’s an old era. The McCarthy era.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Kes – Actually, I do think it is a new era…unless you go back to The Know Nothings.
AdLib4 days ago
Maybe it’s an amalgamation of all the scariest eras of American history. Racially — we’re in the ante-bellum period. Economically the Great Depression. Intellectually the Know-Nothing era. And when it comes to paranoia — the McCarthy period.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Wow, Kes! Any way I can convince you to expand that out a little into an article? Very clever analysis!
AdLib4 days ago
Actually I’m already “editing” — back-pedaling — when it comes to income inequality we’re not at 1934 levels. More like 1929 — early October. Heheh… and thanks for the compliment!
kesmarn
4 days ago
Yes, post-Depression indeed.
AdLib4 days ago
Or rather just prior to the 1929 Crash. When income inequality was at its greatest.
kesmarn
4 days ago
I’ve said it before and will continue to say it, when any of these Repubs get to the GE, I think it could be another Goldwater election for them, a huge sweeping defeat for the GOP and the RW.
AdLib4 days ago
The difference though is that even the average person in 1929 might have been making money in the stock markets. Today, people don’t even make enough to save money to have in the market.
AdLib4 days ago
Usually I say — “I love your optimism!” (And I do.) But in this case, I think this may well be realism. I’m getting the feeling that a huge number of Americans are NOT buying what the GOP is trying to sell. People are staring to wake up. The Ohio election was very encouraging to me. Getting rid of gerrymandering was — as Donald would say — YOOOGE!
kesmarn
4 days ago
And — yes — on the 1929 comparison. We actually are in worse shape — in many ways. And not because who who’s President.
kesmarn
4 days ago
Good evening, folks.
escribacat

Hey, e’cat!
kesmarn

Kes – I was thrilled by that and happy to see the MJ legality and monopoly bill failed. But especially the anti-gerrymandering bill. it is indeed huge!
AdLib4 days ago
Hi Escrib!
AdLib4 days ago
Check out the rightwing conspiracy nuts who are hosting tonight’s debate:
I can only imagine how pandering the questions will be for the main debate from these Fox drones.

Gawd, I can’t stand Lou Dobbs

Christie threw tantrums about Hillary, Jindal threw tantrums against the moderators and Christie.

Leave it to the GOP?FOX shills to refer to this collection of lunatics as their “inventory.”
kesmarn

Then they are very low on inventory!
AdLib4 days ago
Time for a fire sale. Which one gets ignited first?

Carson sure is getting cranky
escribacat

Bargain basement? Half off their rockers sale?
AdLib4 days ago
Yes, Carson is such a fragile little wimp. He could never last in a GE.
AdLib4 days ago
I; hoping Carson says something even more bizarre than he ever has before. Tonight. On FOX.
kesmarn
4 days ago
We can only hope Carson insists the sun goes around the Earth.
AdLib4 days ago
Carson thinks the sun goes around Carson.
escribacat
4 days ago
So true:
AdLib4 days ago
I saw that. YOWWWW!!!
escribacat
4 days ago
I think he truly is pathological.
AdLib4 days ago
His house looked like a freaking shrine to himself
escribacat
4 days ago
He’s shaped his bio to make himself into The Savior.
AdLib4 days ago
Yes, it’s so bizarre, his insistence on that knife attack so he can hang onto that redemptive narrative.
escribacat
4 days ago
I saw the pix of his house too. And the quote from “Poverbs” [sic] chiseled into marble. (Are “poverbs” all they have in the South because they can’t afford real verbs?)
kesmarn
4 days ago
Indeed. That is his ONLY tool to become President. He can’t lose it.
AdLib4 days ago
Kes — I saw that typo too. How hilarious.
escribacat
4 days ago
Who are these people who are so in love with Trump and Carson? Do they really think either man would actually make a good president?
escribacat
4 days ago
kesmarn
4 days ago
Maybe he was trying to say “PlanetPOV Herbs”?
AdLib4 days ago
I would hope so, AdLib. But — sadly — I fear not.
kesmarn

$15/hr min wage question.
AdLib4 days ago
Trump is against the $15 min wage…because we don’t win anymore???
AdLib4 days ago
We can’t compete against the world at $15/hr! We need cheap labor!!!

We need slave labor in order to WIN.

pinkpantheroz

Obamacare – so much worse than slavery.
kesmarn

Carson just lied! Every time the min wage is raised unemployment goes up? And if you lower wages, employment goes up! So yes, slavery is good for America.
AdLib4 days ago
$.50/hour for teenagers!
kesmarn
4 days ago
Min wage is “giving free stuff”. Carson is such an asshole.
AdLib4 days ago
Guys earning squillions a year telling us we ask for too much money to live on
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
Min wage makes people dependent.
escribacat
4 days ago
Carson also lied to claim that all min wage jobs are for young people getting a first job.
AdLib4 days ago
Rubio launches into a prefab speech and doesn’t answer the question. What a shill.
AdLib4 days ago
It’s amazing how nothing has changed…these guys remind me of Scrooge.
escribacat

OMG! Rubio is soooo full of it!
pinkpantheroz
4 days ago
I think Rubio is a threat though…I wouldn’t be surprised if the others imploded and he ended up with the nomination.
escribacat

Rubio: “We need more welders and less philosophers.” Stop educating people, America! That’s the problem!
AdLib4 days ago
I wouldn’t either, E’cat!

Damn fillosofers. They come up with stoopid stuff like Marxy-ism.

We need more undereducated blue collar workers! That’s how Repubs can hang onto power, fooling less educated people! Go GOP!!!
AdLib4 days ago
We need more uneducated slave laborers so we can compete with China on their terms

Yep, that’s what the Repubs are all saying, greater poverty and less education will grow America!

Kasich is such a con man. With his faux- compassion.

Why? Because a bunch of the bums died!

Kes – Fortunately, the base hates him, he doesn’t have a prayer.
AdLib4 days ago
No.. Kasich. You got Medicaid funding from the Feds. That’s how you did the Medicaid thing.

I’m glad Kasich’s not getting traction. He’s dangerous.

SHudder….every time I see Cruz’s face.
escribacat

The face of a liar.
kesmarn

They’re all so phony, won’t work outside of their base.
AdLib4 days ago
The whole premise is GOPer oriented…the only important thing is us being competitive with big powers overseas and growth
escribacat
4 days ago
Then the invisible hand will magically solve all the other human and social problems.
escribacat

They only think in terms of $$$. People don’t register on their radar.

Yes, Kes. That’s the essential difference between Dems and GOPers.

Then they shouldn’t mind if tax rates on the mega-rich go up. Since only Dems want the richer to get richer — according to their mythology.

Income inequality is due to Democratic mayors and governors? HUH?????

There isn’t a drop of honesty in any of their economic plans. All would leave huge shortfalls and require draconian cuts to vital programs. They want to destroy government but their supporters just drink the Kool Aid and think paradise is just a GOP President away.

Rand makes sense quite a bit..because he is smart, well spoken, and has solid ideas but he has a philosophical anchor that sets him adrift.

Interesting. I think you did say that before. I’ve never been a GOPer and never voted for a GOPer but I’m a tightwad with my own finances and think govt should be more careful about money too, so maybe I”m a little bit fiscally conservative. But the rest of it….sheesh.
