How much new ground do they think they’ll cover? I predict zero. » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 7:12 pm The next debate the audience will boo the moderator if he/she asks Gov. Perry ANY questions. They are nothing but loyal. » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 7:11 pm Kes, my wife has already told me she’s moving to Australia if any of them win. She’s had it. » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 7:08 pm Ad, that’s because people on CNBC only know how to cheerlead. They are a bit rusty at these other….skills… » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 7:06 pm Its really not fair to the other candidates when Gov. Perry breaks out the extra-large knuckles. » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 7:05 pm Why the Media Don’t Get Obama’s Campaign Feel free! And don’t worry about your friends. If they are sociopaths they won’t care what you call them. 🙂 Great to see you too Sally! » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 2:05 pm atdnext, I suspect more and more of the middle will continue to join the “Comparative Voters for Obama 2012” movement as the year winds on. Many liberals, including myself joined a while ago. Our unofficial motto? Uninspiring? Maybe. True? Definitely. » Posted By funksands On November 9, 2011 @ 1:26 pm Ad, it was in Savannah. 😉 » Posted By funksands On November 4, 2011 @ 10:46 am Why not? It’s cheaper. » Posted By funksands On November 4, 2011 @ 10:45 am Update: It has now been 34 days since Herman Cain set foot in Iowa or New Hampshire. His candidacy gets more “serious” every day. » Posted By funksands On November 4, 2011 @ 9:55 am Ad, chronicle-ing the continued devolution of the GOP is becoming a specialty of yours. Perhaps you have found your niche? I read your post while at the airport, and have to share a short story of what happened shortly after. I went to one of the book/news/candy/stuffed animals/ kiosks to buy a NYTimes to read on the plane. Herman’s picture was of course on the front page. At check-out my cashier says “Ah, is this the next President? He says a lot of good things!” My response: “Well, we’ll see, he’s got a few problems he’s got to address before that can happen” (as you can tell I was feeling diplomatic yesterday) She replied with a puzzled look: “What problems?” I smiled, pick up my purchase and walked away. Now maybe I’m analyzing one anecdotal experience a bit too much, but I have a feeling that as Herman’s rise in the polls took place some time after he came out with his nursery rhyme tax plan, his fall in the polls may take an equal amount of time to percolate through to the general voting populace. Then again, the GOP FAITHful may not care. » Posted By funksands On November 4, 2011 @ 9:51 am 2012: The End of America As We Know It Cher, I think both our thoughts are circling around the same drain. » Posted By funksands On October 28, 2011 @ 8:05 am Ad, the zombie analogy is really really good. I remember conversations like this about Gingrich and his crew when they were in charge for a brief time. They weren’t nearly as extreme as this group, and look what they got a Blue Dog Dem to do to the social safety net. » Posted By funksands On October 28, 2011 @ 8:04 am Em, that would certainly be horrible. We saw how that turned out with more moderate Republicans 2000-2006. I was simply looking back in the past about how these issues were seemingly addressed by the GOP when they controlled different branches of govt. » Posted By funksands On October 27, 2011 @ 9:31 pm Yes, that’s exactly why I say that. My anecdotal memory seems to recall that the GOP tends to be pretty agnostic about the social safety net when in the White House, (with GW’s 2005 aborted SS privitization bus tour being the exception). When the Dem is in the White House they go absolutely crazy about how social programs are bankrupting us. They don’t care about spending or deficits, so I think when they are in power, they tend to back off on these issues. Now 2010 on a state level certainly proved this theory of mine wrong. It does not take a stretch of the imagination to see those actions moving up into the federal level if they control all of the levers of power. » Posted By funksands On October 27, 2011 @ 9:29 pm Ad, I don’t disagree with what you’ve said. The GOP historically when they have the Presidency spend like drunken sailors. Why would 2012 be any different? Is it because they feel like they can finally abandon the “Two Santa Claus” strategy? From a social program standpoint, I think a GOP Congress and a Dem President is more dangerous. A Dem Congress and GOP President has historically not been a disaster. The GOP in control of all three branches? I can think of plenty of foreign policy blunders, but not all-out assaults on the social safety net. Great article though. Thanks. » Posted By funksands On October 27, 2011 @ 8:43 pm Cher, the OccupySeattle GA just voted yesterday to move their headquarters to Seattle Central Community College for their permanent base. The evolution of the movement is starting to organically emerge. » Posted By funksands On October 26, 2011 @ 3:49 pm Murph, any awful recipe could always use a few tweaks… 😉 » Posted By funksands On October 25, 2011 @ 7:34 pm Murph, that election was a key inflection point in our political process. Today’s Conservatives/Birchers/Libertarians realized after the election that the vast majority of of the American public did not agree with their positions. Repudiated, they set out on their forty year plan to win every school board position, fill every precinct committee chair, every judgeship that they could fill until a minority controlled a huge swath of the local and state elected positions. From there, the national jump in 2010 was less of a surprise and more “the next step”. The vast majority of Americans STILL disagree with their views. The difference this time? Cons hold the levers of power. » Posted By funksands On October 25, 2011 @ 5:46 pm 2 tablespoonÂÂÂs birther Enjoy your Republican nominee with a glass of cold regret » Posted By funksands On October 25, 2011 @ 5:32 pm Kochjack. » Posted By funksands On October 25, 2011 @ 4:29 pm GirlOutWest, I personally would love to have you here more.
