Mission Accomplished

Is this what Obama meant by ‘post-partisan’, having only one viable political party? Nothing like going to the polls to elect the ‘unopposed’ candidate. Partisanism is a vital component democracy. Now we have elections like they have in China. Helluva job, Barrack!

Yep, I saw that flipflop in the polls on the New York race a few days ago and couldn’t believe it…when I saw a Republican had won Weiner’s seat I had this same thought: it puts a crack in the veneer of Obama’s “inevitable” win in 2012. However, a special election is not the same as a regular one….just a caveat.

Regarding the link to the Crawldad Hole…very interesting analogy. Mittwit is definitely to Hillary what Perry is to Obama. I watched that debate the other night and even I had to admit Romney was looking comparatively good. And yet….the media was still treating the entire thing from Perry’s POV, as the frontrunner everyone else had to catch up to. And I wondered wth were they smoking when they spoke of Perry’s “talent” and charisma?! Let alone his looks…! He looked as if they stuffed his suit with padding and he couldn’t move his limbs…and don’t get me started on the helmet hair.

Romney and Michelle looked poised and gave strong performances. As did Cain and Huntsman. Both Newt and Ron Paul simply looked pleased to be there and spout off…they both are well aware they have no chance and are just enjoying the free ride while it lasts. Why Santorum is there is beyond me…but neither he nor Huntsman have modulated their squeaky voices. Sad because Huntsman seems to be the least religious and most into science candidate on the right. But he’s obviously under-coached and told appalling bad jokes that of course fell flat. Whoever Mitt hired as a coach is worth every penny of whatever s/he’s charging.

Yes, Obama is the face when one sees what’s happened to the Democratic Party, but we must not be charitable. The Democratic Party self-destructed when the establishment pushed an unknown, unaccomplished and inexperienced man to be president during the most difficult economic time we faced since the Great Depression.

Hi Zee
Yup O’Fucktard is the ass all those STUPID voters rode in on..
now we are all thrown off in the dirt!
I really can not decide who is worse Bushass who gave us nine 11 or O’Fucktard that does not care about that or anything else. They are 2 turds in a cesspool. Now let me tell you how I really feel,

WE need Hillary!!!

Delle, I turned off any news station that mentioned excerpts from that book, correctly guessing they would have to dig deep to finally any speck of dust and sure enough. When it became headlines online I saw what they managed to find…it will backfire.

You know, it just makes sense.

The Trumpster is on Greta making alot of sense about jobs. Too bad the Repubs do not have enough sense to nominate him.

Did you know that BO is planning on paying for his bill by cutting into deductions for charitable contributions?

Have I mentioned lately, BO stinks.

Zee,

The best way to get rid of leeches is to pry them off and then burn off the head.

Try spoiling his food… constantly asking him to do things around the house… ask for money… teach puppers to pee in his shoes and tear at his clothes when he’s gone…

Headclunker,

#14 – Also, raiding the SS funds by not having anyone contribute to them. What about cutting the Fed Tax that they take out of paychecks… Hmmmm…

Zee
Just ask him when he’s going to leave. Tell him you agreed to a few months only; that you want to get a woman housemate; and that you want to restructure your rental agreement with your new tenant so the rent is higher and household chores are shared equally. Give him 30-60 days notice, max!

Tee hee hee

Okay, I’ll look…

‘night

I think Hillary may have one of the toughest jobs in the world, right now.

Good one Headclunker..

Just popping in to say THANKS again for the bumper stickers! Drove out to MA for my son’s wedding last weekend and they were the talk of the town!Here in my little bitter clinger PA burg they are a hit as well!
I see that the PA PTB are looking in to changing how electoral votes are awarded here- they want to get away from the winner takes all deal. Have to give it a more thorough look see. It does seem patently unfair to me that our section of the state does not even get a delegate- the Philly and Pittsburgh areas being more densely populated. Looking at the state maps of election results- most counties went solidly Hillary- then McCain- except the blue pockets in Philly and Pittsburgh. The wishes of those in the bitter clinger areas were just thrown out. Will try to keep an eye on it. Any input appreciated!

#30 ProudMilitaryMom A pure democracy is one person, one vote. So the people in the sparsely populated areas would be out of luck…those in the densely populated areas could outvote them and if the areas had different priorities, it would be up to the rural areas to pitch their case. But we have a representative democracy, not a pure one, anyway. A lot of people want to get rid of the electoral college. (Plus, we all saw what happened at the 2008 primary when the superdelegates overrode the majority of votes for Hillary.)

I don’t know there is a fair solution for awarding delegates and awarding electoral votes, but so long as we have this system and each state decides, PA should give it a try. If other states followed suit, maybe there would be fewer “blue” states or “red” states, and eventually all of the regions would be represented regardless of state lines.

ProudMilitaryMom, that’s why I said PA might as well try it, and eventually it might ripple across all the states. In which case the Blue minorities in Red States might get counted as would the Red minorities in Blue states. Because we don’t have…and presumably don’t want…a national standard, it will be an ongoing process. Caucuses should be the first thing to go, along with voting systems with no ballots…I wish we could get a consensus on that, at least!

There are already a couple of states, like Maine, which have that system…but in Maine’s case thus far it has not made a difference.

Another scandal brewing? This could be big!

The usurper might find himself in deep doo doo.

Yesterday I went to see my stock broker. After our meeting, he noticed my Hillary 2012 pin that is pinned to my purse. He said he would wear a pin if he had one. Well, I happened to have an extra one in my purse and gave it to him. He said he could not wear it at the office, but would on his free time. I believe him.
Today, I went to get my hair cut. My hairdresser, who has seen my pin many times, said that he would vote for Hillary if she decides to run.
I live in a Red state. Don’t know if theses guys are Dems or Reps or Indy. What I got out of them is that The Worm is Turning. It is only 2 people, but they have realized that Hillary is the Best.

The fraudulent fucktard usurper from Chicago’s Palestine mess.

#36 Delle….omg, not a chance! Unless they find a way to tell that story without everyone’s eyes glazing over. And I’m independently interested in all these signals they’re putting into our air, but I could not wade through that.

I did follow the link to the Solyndra (ugliest company name ever!) story, tho and found another link to the NYT which nails that problem:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/business/global/us-solar-company-bankruptcies-a-boon-for-china.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss

China is waging economic war against us…and winning…(as one commenter mentioned). All the vitriol needs to be directed at China which is causing new American companies with superior products to fail by China’s subsiding
the cost of everything from materials to labor.

If we need to kick Obama’s ass on this, it’s because he’s not *protecting* our investments, from China’s unfair practices. Four American solar companies have fallen within the past year. Too bad the feeble one in the White House is more interested in protecting his own ass than he is in protecting American innovation from inferior foreign predators.

I agree that the parents are irresponsible / ignorant re: veganism. There are ways to be vegan without jeopardizing ones health, but if one doesn’t understand the principles of a vegan diet it can, and eventually will, be detrimental.
The same is true of the cult diet of westerners. If one eats meat and potatoes for every meal, there will be health issues.

My diet was vegan for five years, the Japanese version because those who hosted the seminars were Japanese. Michio Kushi of the East – West Center, for one. This way of eating, and living ones life, was called Macrobiotics. The basic principle was eating foods as far away from ones position on the food chain
as possible, and eating that which is 1) is in season, and 2)that which can be grown locally within (500 miles) of ones location.
Some people went to extremes (due, I believe, to ignorance) and became ill, or died, and they were the ones whose stories garnered the most publicity. “The Brown Rice” diet came to represent macrobiotics, just as “the Soy Diet” will become shorthand for veganism. Both names being as far off the mark as can be.
I can tell you that I never felt healthier in my life than when I was eating according to macriobiotics.
Also, acupuncture, acupressure, herbs, teas, etc. work almost insantly when those methods are applied to bodies where they don’t have to battle with the sludge we feed ourselves.

And, please note, the AMA, the cattle industry, Big Pharm, Insurance companies, the western foods industry, all have a vested mega-interest in rendering alternatives as whack, cuckoo, hocus-pocus, fraudulent, ineffective, etc.
Notice deaths and illness due to our western diets rarely get as much negative attention as the alternative diets. When it does their solutions are always within the context, and in support of, one or another of the western industries.

I’m not defending the ignorance of the vegan parents, just as I don’t support the ignorant parents who feed their children steady diets of the ‘traditional’ cult junk of the West.

Headed out for the weekend in the MachTurtle but had to say something about this without having to type it on my phone.
