"We do think we have a better shot than the Democrats at appealing to the pale white, mortified, brain dead, no information voter but that's not why we're doing this," Karl Rove evilly gloated, twirling a fake handlebar mustache he had just attached above his lip.
Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, announced today at a gathering of high profile Republicans and Wall Street executives that the GOP is formally divorcing reality on grounds of irreconcilable differences.
“He told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father,” George Romney, then the Governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. “He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler.”……..
In politics, the media or business, an unspoken rule seems to be that accomplishing one's proprietary goals necessarily means discarding the quaint notion of being influenced by one's own conscience.
Bill Clinton has repeatedly put self-gratification above the best interest of the people and that is reflected even today in his throwing Obama under the train to protect those who are driven in limos.
GOP PACs are preparing to spend more than $1 Billion to win control of the White House, the Senate, more state legislatures and governor’s mansions, and to hold the House of Representatives and the state governments they already control.
Sometimes, the not-so-attractive kid hangs out with much less attractive kids to use the power of comparisons to look better and more attractive. When you seat Mitt Romney right beside Donald Trump, doesn't Romney look far less dangerous than the raving loon beside him with his back hair combed over his head?
Over the past three decades since the early 1970’s, there has been the deliberate manipulation of significant segments of the population, most of them undoubtedly sincere believing people, around the ideology of ‘born-again’ evangelical Christian Fundamentalism to create what we now refer to as the Christian Right or Dominionists. Within the broad spectrum of fundamentalist denominations there are some currents which are particularly alarming. Sarah Palin comes out of such a milieu.
Is this a case of the media creating an exploitative story for financial and/or political benefit or were they just doing their job and holding a politician's feet to the fire?

Affirmative Action, D.E.I., Voting Rights, They Want It All – Addendum

These are not people who care about a democratic republic form of governance. For them, giving people rights is non-conducive to what they want to do, dominating and controlling everything they see in their sight line. They believe this will enhance their bottom line and make them even more decadent than they are currently.
