Something makes me think maybe not. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 9:00 pm BREAKING: After re-boot Bush takes Ohio by 12,000 votes. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:59 pm Murph, I don’t think MO would ever go for Romney. That’s interesting that you are sensing that mood. I think it is shared in a lot of states. Look at how well Santorum is polling in Wisconsin for example. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:48 pm I don’t know KQ, right now Santorum is polling 16 points up on Romney in Wisconsin which is not that far away from Illinois. He won Minnesota handily too. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:42 pm 3 weeks of hair-pulling, screeching, and clawing. Ahhhhh » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:37 pm KQ, its like they are doing it for my personal benefit. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:33 pm Where’s Ken Blackwell when you need him? » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:31 pm This is bitterly embarrassing for Romney. How could he be losing to the guy who’s running his campaign worse than Lucy ran the chocolate conveyor belt? (analogy for the boomers on the board) There is going to be a lot of introspection going on in all the camps tonight. (Except for Paul, who is in no need of introspection) Next races: Kansas – 40 – Santorum easily Alabama – 50 – Gingrich (if he stays in. He looks exhausted having to work for a living) Hawaii – 20 – Romney Mississippi – 40 – Gingrich Missouri – 52 – Santorum (for realzies this time) Louisiana – 46 – Santorum probably Illinois – 69 – Santorum DC – 18 – Romney Maryland – 37 – Romney Wisconsin – 42 – Santorum All of this by April 3rd! After that Romney has another Super Tuesday with New York, Conn., Rhode Island, Delaware, and possibly Pennsylvania This is gonna be really ugly between April 3rd: Wisconsin and April 24th: New York. No contests and plenty of time to savage each other. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:30 pm Will Socialist Paradise Alaska vote for Libertarian Ron Paul? Enquiring minds think its possible. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 8:17 pm This night could not be going better. I couldn’t be more pleased. Newt wins, but not enough, Santorum wins too much, and Paul doesn’t win anything. This is going to drag out for a while. I love it. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 7:32 pm That’s excellent. I love Dennis, but losing Marcy is unacceptable. Damn shame that they had to face off. » Posted By funksands On March 6, 2012 @ 7:25 pm Huffington Post Hacklines – Vol. 1 Oh sure that sounds pretty reasonable….if your name wasn’t Arizona Annie OBAMA!!! http://www.hark.com/clips/twjpwxrdqc-da-da-da-daaaaaa » Posted By funksands On March 2, 2012 @ 8:29 pm Obama can’t get us all if we scatter and change our identities. SEAL Team 6 can’t be two places at once. If you seal your car completely in duct tape, drones can’t pick you up on their scanners. If you swallow enough lead, you render most tracking devices inert. Helpful tips for us all to remember in the dark days ahead. » Posted By funksands On March 2, 2012 @ 5:32 pm LIVE BLOG: GOP Primaries in Michigan and Arizona I didn’t even think of that. Genius! Need a job? » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:49 pm I have decided to endorse Newt Gingrich for the GOP nominee. I will be throwing my considerable influence among the local GOP in the upcoming caucus on Saturday. And we have fun caucuses in this state. I’ll let you know how it goes afterward. I’m almost vibrating with excitement!! 🙂 » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:49 pm Ad, I’m thinking a “Stars and Stripes Fetus” lapel pin. Seriously in my more darkly cynical moments I think that would be a big seller. » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:44 pm Ad, did you expect something non-robotic? 🙂 One thing I thought was interesting is the Democratic turnout this time around was 10%. Nearly all of them voted for Santorum. Turnout of Dems in the GOP primary? 17%. Nearly all of them voted for McCain. Romney can’t even inspire Dems to turnout to vote against him!! » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:39 pm Santorum’s salutatorian speech was perfect. Empty, slogan-y, emotional, combative, and historically inaccurate. But the best part was when he says its time for “supply-side economics for the working guy”. That, in all seriousness is a genius line. How does he describe “supply-side economics for the working guy”? A) Cut the corporate tax rate to 0% Throw a powered wig and a waistcoat on that pig and you’ve got a winner!! » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 8:33 pm What will discerning voters in Michigan and Arizona do? Which candidate has the best imaginary solutions to our most pressing make-believe problems? Only only of them can take us back to a time that never existed and bring back an America that never was. Onward to the past! Personally my money is on Romney. Santorum is the GOP’s drunk-dial, soon they’ll get back in line and back to their loveless marriage to the pre-selected candidate. » Posted By funksands On February 28, 2012 @ 5:08 pm LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate in Arizona on CNN – 2-22-2012 Anyone have any good data on how the “right direction / wrong direction” numbers play our in Congressional / Presidential elections? The last 4 polls in Feb show: Right Direction: 34% Wrong Direction: 60% However in November it averaged: Right Direction: 17% Wrong Direction: 75% Has this poll ever meant anything? » Posted By funksands On February 22, 2012 @ 10:31 pm Khirad, that is a really good point. I hadn’t thought of that. We have set a precedent after all. » Posted By funksands On February 9, 2012 @ 10:13 pm Khirad I think you first sentence captures my feelings on this. LOL. It should be hard. It should be a tough decision. It should involve coordination with the state we are dropping munitions into. Right now the President says that he exercises great restraint in how and when he uses these drones. I believe him. How about the next one? And the next President? Technology by that point will be so good we’ll be able fly a drone up someone’s asshole and blow them up with no civilian casualties. That makes me really really nervous. » Posted By funksands On February 9, 2012 @ 5:26 pm KQ, I agree with you about technology. I don’t think B-2 carpet bombings to take out cities and factories is the same as going after one dude in a mountain range somewhere, or in a village. I don’t expect very many people to support me in my view on this, but I think that executions should involve some level of….involvement. It is entirely too neat, clean, and hands-free to use drones as a routine way to just take someone out. We do it because we can, and no one can stop us. Not because its right. Even if the end result is the death of a bad person. The slippery slope on this is too slippery for my tastes. » Posted By funksands On February 9, 2012 @ 5:21 pm This contraception issue is, like everyone else has said, a tempest in a teapot. From my recollection, suits have been dismissed on this very topic a few times already. I ran across this story from the NYTimes that talked about a lawsuit brought by Catholic charities on this very topic in 2007: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/washington/02scotus.html “Their complaint was rejected by all three levels of New York state courts: the state Supreme Court, at the trial level; the Appellate Division; and in a unanimous opinion last October, the New York Court of Appeals. That court ruled on the basis of a 1990 Supreme Court decision, Employment Division v. Smith, which barred most religion-based exemptions from laws that are neutral, generally applicable and that do not single out religion for special burdens. In opposing the appeal, Catholic Charities v. Dinallo, No. 06-1550, New York argued that the organizations were not being placed in the position of approving birth control, any more than any other employer that provides health coverage is deemed to express “approval of every medication or treatment used by the employees.” The California Supreme Court has also rejected a challenge by Catholic Charities to that state’s similar law.” » Posted By funksands On February 9, 2012 @ 3:39 pm Cher, great line-up again today! Nice mix of topics. RE: Drones…It doesn’t surprise me that drone strikes are popular with people across every political classification. They are cheap, simple, they are nearly guilt-free being piloted by joy stick from hundreds of miles away, involve very little danger to our personell, effective, and convenient. Everything that killing another person should be all about. » Posted By funksands On February 9, 2012 @ 3:33 pm Weekend Music Thread – SoulTrain Anyone recognize the young chap at the end of this clip?[img]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8tXJS50hHo&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLAC22D4916C661ABE[/img] » Posted By funksands On February 4, 2012 @ 7:55 pm ? » Posted By funksands On February 4, 2012 @ 7:53 pm BullyProgs – Tea Party Tactics by Progressives Kill Single Payer in CA CL, thanks so much for that look into an issue that quite frankly I didn’t know enough about. Admission: When I heard of the 4 holdouts on the bill my first reaction was indignation and outrage rather than trying understand what the hold-up was. Of course this may have something to do with people being a little sensitive to legislative chicanery over the last couple years, i.e. Wisconsin, Michigan et al. What a disappointment! More so because defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory by people that all wanted essentially the same thing. Someone said that the art of political persuasion had everything to do with getting what you want without having to be “right”. Maybe next time these groups will remember that. » Posted By funksands On February 3, 2012 @ 1:43 pm One of these days someone who isn’t an MSM simpleton is going to point out to the mystical mouth breathers that the market cannot/shouldn’t set drug prices, because unlike someone buying an Ipad, the buyer of medication cannot decide to wait for a better price later. A captive buyer does not a free market make. Rubes. Stupid stupid rubes. » Posted By funksands On February 1, 2012 @ 10:34 pm LIVE BLOG: Florida GOP Primary 2012 or “Can $16 Million in Negative Ads Buy an Election?” Thanks Nirek. I think it actually bothers me more that the MSM ignores this topic completely. I expect lunacy and fantasy from the candidates. I expected at least a minimum of journalistic dignity from someone in the MSM » Posted By funksands On February 1, 2012 @ 1:26 pmComments Posted By funksands
B) Elminate federal funding and running of SS, Medicare, Medicaid and throw them to the states
