Displaying 2,881 To 2,910 Of 3,237 Comments My overall impression as well. Hedging his bets. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:52 pm I thought his interchange with Bachmann was interesting…he did the kind of ducking which is one of his hallmarks. A purge? Give me a break. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:52 pm I have been unimpressed and wondered if others had the same feeling. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:50 pm How is Gingrich doing tonight? Anyone? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:43 pm Common theme: The whole world hates us and is trying to come after us- Iran, Al Qaeda, the Mexican Cartels, the Middles East Oil Producers, the South American countries associated with Jihadist cartels…..SO, we need to strike them all….NOW…with whatever it takes. WARWARWARWARWAR Orwell’s spirit alive in this debate. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:35 pm We would need to discuss his social policy quite a bit more to get at it well. The wikipedia article gives it a pretty fair treatment. Perhaps later. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:32 pm Huntsman gets a set up question re. choosing the environment over people’s jobs. Fox DOES NOT want him in the mix and keeps tossing him grenades. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:23 pm I do not like most of what Paul believes about the economy, but his social policy and his foreign policy make more sense to me than not. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:17 pm It takes a lot of courage for Paul to say what he says on that crowd. I agree he is a bit loopy (ok, quite a bit loopy) but he is a man who speaks his mind rather consistently esp. in foreign affairs. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:15 pm Not one mention Larry, Moe or Curly. Wonder why? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:06 pm If Diogenes were with us today….Paul is one of the honest (though a bit loopy) men he would find. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:06 pm And he is making GREAT points about Iran and its supposed Nuclear Weapon. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 7:03 pm BACHMANN….the intention of the founders was that the judicial would the weakest of the three branches. For someone who claims to stand upon the constitution, she certainly comes across as nearly as crazy as Newt. Bizarre. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:52 pm Every president Mitt just listed who took on the federal judges…..lost in the long run. Gingrich wants a dictatorship….. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:49 pm Wonderful…….good at poker are you? Yoda am I. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:46 pm Huntsman Takes The High Road: No Donald Debates For Me Jon Huntsman used his opening answer as an opportunity to try to elevate himself above the rest of the GOP fray. Arguing that America has been losing faith in its institutions, Hunstman suggested that the other Republican candidates — including current frontrunner Newt Gingrich — weren’t helping by taking the responsibility of running for president too lightly. “I’m not going to show up at a Donald Trump debate,” Hunstman said, in a pointed critique of the now-canceled “debate” that was set to be moderated by real estate mogul Donald Trump, and that Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum had signed on to attend. “People in this country don’t trust their institutions of power anymore,” Huntsman said, adding that he would impose new term limits on elected officials, and shut off the revolving door between congress and K Street. He added, “We’re getting screwed as Americans.” — Joshua Hersh » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:42 pm I wonder if Newt has a helium hose up his butt to keep his head this inflated. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:35 pm GINGRICH AND HABITAT Gingrich worked with Habitat for Humanity until 1996 when he was driven from Congress. His work prior to that was mostly handing out government checks and posing for photo ops. Since he left office, he has does nothing for Habitat. Nothing. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On December 15, 2011 @ 6:32 pm Fascinating details and you have the advantage of being a long time resident possessing the visitor’s eye. I think I will learn a great deal in these conversations. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 6:44 pm Very complete answer. So, face saving remains in place as a response to perceived failure and for lack of alternatives. Thus, it would appear that the fewer young people are feeling even more pressure to perform with fewer resources to protect them. I thought things were changing, in fact, had changed. Impressions from the media. Not so. Thank you. Murph » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 5:40 pm Kalima…Ok….we will make connections as time and distance allows. I sent you a note re. suicides among Japan’s teens. I promise not to ask often. It sounds as if your life is tightly packaged. » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 5:26 pm Kalima or is this how I do it? I suspect this is it. At the end of that days submission. Since I am doing this….let me ask you a question. I read the article on teen suicide (those not graduating). I am aware of the pressure that Japanese teens have historically experienced. I guess that given the aging population and the value being placed upon the young I assumed that the pressure was easing. It seems not. You live in Japan, yes? What are your thoughts on this. I do a lot of writing on education and I have no Asian context. Murph » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 4:27 pm Is this how I do it? I think I figured it out. I think I will stop in regularly. You present a different face to the news. Are you open to discussing a bit since you have done the leg work? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 4:11 pm Hey there Kalima, what an overview! How do you manage to do it? » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On March 18, 2012 @ 4:14 am A Confusing Story: Where’s the Truth? It is being reported that the Senate voted Tuesday to keep a controversial provision to let the military detain terrorism suspects on U.S. soil and hold them indefinitely without trial — prompting White House officials to reissue a veto threat. The measure, part of the massive National Defense Authorization Act, was also opposed by civil libertarians on the left and right. But 16 Democrats and an independent joined with Republicans to defeat an amendment by Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.) that would have killed the provision, voting it down with 61 against, and 37 for it. I spoke with legislative aides at both of my Senators’ offices and with an aide in Sen. Udall’s and Sen. Levin’s office. The linked statements below reflect their thinking. Below please find three links. The first provides the exact wording of the provision with some comment pointing out the key lines; the second is Sen. Udall’s Amendment, the third is Sen. Levin’s response to the attacks on the Appropriations Bills, the fourth is a commentary that provides the best analysis I have found so far. Bottom Line: It appears that Levin’s Bill is the one that respects citizens rights more than the Udall Amendment. And hardly anyone has spoken of the impact of the Supreme Court Hamdi Case which is very germane.

According to the stories I am looking at, the Senate is looking to pass a very restrictive internet bill that will pull sites down based on very sketchy requirements.

Wyden’s Appeal to Call Our Senators and Representatives » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 29, 2011 @ 5:20 pm Good move. Is this something that belongs on our front page? I was told today that the bill has been flying under the radar and that there ARE 60 votes to block a filibuster. Again, I do not know this enough to be “wise” » Posted By MurphTheSurf3 On November 29, 2011 @ 5:08 pmComments Posted By MurphTheSurf3
