It's the national debt more than anything else which has driven the conservatives far more insane than usual. This is just another example of ignoring the reality of the matter.
The vast majority of US debt is owed to the Chinese communists, which of course they see as a major threat rather than a brilliant strategy.
Never mind that they don't have any way to collect if we chose not to pay. Never mind that this is the number reason they don't dare wage war on US. These are just facts of reality and conservatives have no use for truth since it lowers their chances of gaininng power.
When the ChiComs conquered China they nationalized all American property and the debt owed to US from WWII. This amounted to 100's of millions of dollars at that time. When you adjust their debt to US for inflation and add over 60 years of interest they actually owe US more than we owe them. If the our Chinese debt causes problems we can always say we are nationalizing our debt to them just as they nationalized their debt to US. Thanks to a brilliant strategy we now have a workable way to collect what they robbed from US just when we need it most. Vote Democrat and don't worry be happy! Great job Obama!!
Republicans, get used to the notion that your rule of economic terrorism with Alice in Wonderland ideology is over in November. No matter how you try to rationalize your failed policies, a majority of the American people know you are responsible for the mess we are in, and they also know the Obama's administration is fixing your mess as fast as possible. If the recovery progresses another 5 years (and it will) you have no hope of coming beck even in 2016. Say hello to the Tories and Wigs in the dust bin of history where you nut-cases belong!
We all see Newt, Mitt and Rick have no difference from John McCain who didn't understand existing crisis ahead at all. They are just some hated and annoying tele-marketing to ordinary people.
In view of the gross lack of judgement McCain demonstrated in selecting Palin for his running mate, I think we would be in the middle of a 1930's style great Depression. Most rank and file conservatives would be sleeping on sidewalks and standing in soup lines right now! Oops! If McCain had been elected there wouldn't even BE any soup lines! Help ensure the extinction of the Republican party this November and vote for anything but a RepubliCON, if you love you country and your way of life!
Understand the moon and Mars comment. However, if unions are people so are corporations - that is what the Supreme Court ruled. Both entities are made up of groups of people. I would have preferred to have only individuals giving political donations, but unions started the group thing.
I don't think anyone really questions the government provided safety nets for the poor - I am not sure what you mean.???
I have no clue as to what you are referring to regarding gay Republicans and Bachmann not being cured. ?? And does it even matter?
I agree that Romney and Gingrich have been way too busy engaging in a pie throwing fight. However, you will see a great a miraculous healing among conservatives when the dust settles. When the Republican candidate is finally nominated, conservatives will begin to focus on removing the worst President in my lifetime from office - President Obama.
This subject needs some discussion. For a guy who actually likes to brag about how intelligent he is and how "incredibly" stupid others are, I wonder if the Toad did much research on the COST of building a lunar base. He must realize there is NO WATER on the moon. Even if water was only used for drinking the average colonist would need to consume about a gallon a day.
Present space craft can only lift a few tons per launch which costs millions of dollars per launch. They would need to launch nearly daily just to supply food and water to the moon even if there were only a few hundred colonists. Lets not forget about oxygen requirements since there is none of that on the moon either. This idea is totally impractical and makes Gingrich look like a lunatic.
No RobAla, When the dust settles, all those fundimentalist Christians in your ranks will refuse to vote at all, rather than vote for a Mormon who believes that he has magic underware, that there are millions of gods, and that he will be god of his own planet when he dies. Mormonism has the same relationship to Christianity that Christianity has to the Jewish faith. They have a common origin and are very similar, but they are not the same religion by any means. Most Christian denominations consider Mormons to be a cult on par with the Moonies.
Unlike Catholics who ignore the Pope on many points, a devout Mormon will do anything the prophet tells him G*D wants him to do. If Romney is elected to the Presidency the real President will be the Mormon Prophet. This will be a major issue in the general election.
1. We have failed to teach critical thinking in school 2. Candidates blame our government for losing jobs to nations which start businesses 3. All candidates are rich 4. Super PAC means control of outcomes by money 5. Nobody fully qualified wants to be POTUS 6. A national primary day would be an improvement 7. Fringe candidates with cash continue 8. Non of the above is changing fast enough
8 lessons from the Republican presidential race so far
++++++++++++++++++++++++
1) Cain is a liar, groper, and an idiot
2) Bachmann is a delusional nut case full of hate
3) Huntsman is too practical to be in the GOP
4) Perry is a complete idiot
5) Santorum is a bible-thumping, bigoted moron
6) Gingrich is an egotistical, extremist, blowhard who will take his Quixotic effort all the way to the convention
7) Paul should run as a Libertarian
8) Romney AKA: Willard the Waffler, Myth Zombie, Roboman, The Manikin Man etc. is a spoiled rich prick who has no compassion for ordinary people, and will say and do ANYTHING to seize power.
Beating Obama Is What Matters Most ---------------
And the fact that they couldn't come up with a more lofty goal than "beating the other guy", will be exactly what defeats them.
What a shame that the only platform the GOP has is to "beat Obama". That indicates they have no plan to improve or lead the American people, they just want back in power.
You must have listened to any of the debates. They all agree to the following: Repeal of the horrible health care law Reduce the size and scope of the federal government to a level the American people can afford. Reduce taxes on businesses, to help increase creation of jobs and bring back manufacturing. Approve the Canadian oil pipeline, to reduce our dependence on middle-eastern oil and to create a minimum of 20,000 jobs. Bring federal spending in line with federal revenues to put a stop to the massive deficit federal spending. Push Congress to to it's job to create a nation budget (we have not had one since 2009). Hold the EPA accountable to someone other than just the President of the United States. Give more control and power back to the state and local governments (those closer to the problems understand best how to deal with them).
These are just a few. These points are all music to my ears.
RobAla, You should consider learning Spanish. That way when we drive the Republican party to extinction in Novenber you can flee to Mexico and be happy.
Mexico doesn't have any health care laws, none.
The size and scope of the federal government of the United States of Mexico is ALREADY at a level the Mexican people can aford.
Business taxes are really low in Mexico!
Mexico has more oil pipelines than Carter's got little liver pills.
Mexico hasn't even GOT any deficit spending.
Mexico passes a new budget every year without fail.
Mexico doesn't even HAVE an EPA!!!
The Mexican feds leave their states alone to do pretty much as they please as long as the taxes keep flowing to Mexico City!
Wow! All these wonderful policies are practiced right next door and best of all they have little to no restrictions on who can move there, to live and work!!!!
Imagine it, a very nearly free market just across the national line where you and your brethern can go practice free market capitalism for the first time in your lives! I think you should all head south right now and start makeing your millions!!! I bet that music in your ears sounds like moriachie doesn't it? GO, go now! That way everybody will be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2) uh,... um,... saying anything else would be redundant.
1) The Moon is a candidate for statehood.
2) Non-stop public travel to Mars is just around the corner.
3) Corporations are people, my friend.
4) The poor have some magical safety net...via Mitt's magical underwear.
5) The GOP has an openly gay candidate they refuse to acknowledged (shock).
6) Rick Perry is actually dumber than George W. (like I though that was possible...).
7) Marcus Bachmann was not able to cure himself.
8) The GOP is so dysfunctional that it can't field a serious/qualified candidate for the highest office on the land.
More to be learned as we travel down this road, I'm sure....
I don't like to be freeze! Send him down here to East Texas and I'll see what I can do! : )

I wish you well.
