Displaying 691 To 720 Of 2,270 Comments LIVE BLOG: Florida GOP Primary 2012 or “Can $16 Million in Negative Ads Buy an Election?” Ad, too true. I expect this of the candidates. What’s surprising is that I haven’t heard even one question from the MSM about this issue. Does this go back to my theory that if the MSM completely discredits the right, they’ll run out of enough material to fill 24 hrs? I hope my cynical suspicion isn’t true. » Posted By funksands On February 1, 2012 @ 1:25 pm Hey Planeteers: Remember when the deficit was the most important thing in the world? I sure do. It was way back in 2010. Every single Republican in office or out of office rent their garments, shed crocodile tears, and pulled their hair over the size of the national debt and the deficit. During the election of 2012, one would think this is a hot topic for the GOP primaries right? Does anyone remember one question from the MSM during the 231 debates about how Mitt Romney’s tax plan is estimated to add nearly 2 trillion to the deficit 2015? Or how he expects to reconcile dramatically lower tax receipts with his promise to reduce the deficit and national debt? Gingrich’s plan adds 3 trillion to the deficit in just 3 years. How do any of these candidates propose to reconcile the 15-20% cut in revenue, and the 1% cut in domestic gdp due to reduced govt. spending somehow making the deficit smaller? I guess we’ll never know until the general election. Maybe not even then. » Posted By funksands On January 31, 2012 @ 9:57 pm Perhaps they’re rentals? » Posted By funksands On January 31, 2012 @ 6:42 pm This is what Newt’s room really looked like before his speech. Tight camera angles can only work so well. Plus he had a hardware convention in the other room. Apparently a lot of the audience were hardware guys wandering over to see what was going on. 🙂 » Posted By funksands On January 31, 2012 @ 6:37 pm The inevitable Romney bataan death march to the nomination continues. Why can’t the GOP rally around Willard in disgruntled resignation? He’s all they have!! I am really pulling for the four horsemen to keep the bleeding up for another few months. » Posted By funksands On January 31, 2012 @ 6:34 pm How would Apple have any idea that this is going on in their Chinese factories? After all, the only other mention I’ve seen of this was in WIRED magazine. They ran a 10-page expose on this about 6 months ago. And I’m sure no one at Apple has ever ever ever heard of or seen that article. » Posted By funksands On January 27, 2012 @ 2:55 pm LIVE BLOG – GOP Debate in FL on CNN – 1-26-2012 Newt is always taking on water. » Posted By funksands On January 26, 2012 @ 5:57 pm Ad, that’s why supply-side economics have a such a proven track record. » Posted By funksands On January 26, 2012 @ 5:57 pm WATCH & LIVE CHAT: President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address [img]http://images.wikia.com/deadliestfiction/images/4/4c/JohnShaft.png[/img] » Posted By funksands On January 24, 2012 @ 11:06 pm LIVE BLOG: GOP Debate in FL on NBC – 1-23-12 AB, speaking of which: Ken Jennings @KenJennings » Posted By funksands On January 23, 2012 @ 7:30 pm Murph, you’ve got to learn to tune in to the cosmos man.

Newt in a no-holds barred battle of the Network Stars: Romney is likely to open with this new move: Romney: “You need to return money you got from Fannie and Freddie while you were a ‘historian’ under their employ” Newt will counter with: “Solo! Hay lapa no ya, Solo! Boonowa tweepi, ha, ha. Han, mah bukee, keel-ee caleya ku kah. Wanta dah …” Romney breaks down in tears, the crowd goes apeshit…. » Posted By funksands On January 23, 2012 @ 4:59 pm It’s utterly disgusting.

Newt scares me, but I think it’s mostly because of his resemblance to that evil floating white ball thing from The Prisoner.
