Lyons: Corporations cry foul
May 23, 2012Corporations are people too, and people get their feelings hurt. What's more, the richer they are these days, the more sensitive they seem to be. It's reminiscent of that Hans Christian Anderson story of the "Princess and the Pea." You know, where the tender young virgin is so delicate that a single pea hidden under seven feather mattresses keeps her awake all night. That's how the prince satisfies himself that she's a real aristocrat. /more/

Arkansas presidential election results here
May 22, 2012The secretary of state has started posting returns. Too early to mean anything, but I'll take comfort that, in the first tally, Barack Obama has 66 percent of the vote, despite an avalanche for free publicity for crank candidate John Wolfe. /more/

The president whose name dare not be spoken
May 22, 2012Ernie Dumas writes this week about Mitt Romney's dilemma — how, really, can he avoid mentioning George Bush, whose policies put the country into an econommic free-fall? /more/

Does a massacre matter in Arkansas Romney vote?
May 21, 2012The Washington Post had retold a well-known piece of Arkansas history — the 1857 slaughter of an Arkansas wagon train by Mormon militia in what's become known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre. /more/

Get on the Ron Paul bandwagon
May 21, 2012Noted: Backers of Ron Paul, the Republican presidential candidate, bought a quarter-page ad in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette encouraging votes for him in Tuesday's Arkansas presidential primary. /more/

Mitt Romney: Not 'fully thawed'
May 14, 2012Now that Mitt Romney is the certain Republican nominee, even the Republicans who detested him in the primaries — and they were in the majority of cumulative not-Romney votes — say it is simply unfair to repeat unflattering anecdotes about high school days. /more/

Barth: The religious right's Etch-a-Sketch: Romney
May 9, 2012Last week should have been the time for Americans to become familiar with the voice and words of Richard Grenell, Mitt Romney's then-national security spokesperson. Indeed, foreign policy matters will likely never be as central to the 2012 presidential campaign debate as they were during the week of the first anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden and President Obama's major statement on the future of the American military operation in Afghanistan. /more/

Tuesday topics
May 8, 2012Another Tuesday, another open line. Final words: * INDEPENDENTS QUALIFY: The secretary of state has qualified six independent candidates for state legislature and is reviewing petitions by two more. /more/

dislikeI feel a little sorry for that dead horse. But she put herself on the line, way back when she bought votes at the Iowas Straw Poll. I believe it's against the law to actually buy votes, yet the money that goes into these campaigns puts that lie upfront. Mostly I feel sorry for those of us who vote our conscience.
.
Who says she's not certifiable?
>>I just couldn't stick with it.
Know what you mean Boss. They're beyond preaching to the choir. They've got their
Luntz Dial-A-Word tuned to the fringe of the fringe, hence Herman Cain could walk over Romney.
Did you hear? Romney wants to privatize Veteran's care.
.
Alice, please encourage her not to be a quitter. The longer Bachmann stays in the race, the better off her constituents and the nation are for the votes she misses in the House.
With Republican debates coming more often than I have an erection, I too can't keep up. I enjoy watching them, well, until the moment that I become so depressed at the insane low quality of these candidates that I long for the days when I could purchase a box of Gillette double-edge razorblades. It's not possible to nick a vein with these silly plastic razors...damn it.
The only reason the Republicans are having 72 debates must be due to the preachings of Karl Rove who knows there are enough stupid American voters out there who will believe anything if you repeat it often enough. To the Fox Newsers, "privatize Veteran's care" means nothing, but they get turned on when debate audiences cheer Texas executions, Americans dying for a lack of health insurance, and damn them gay solders going to Iraq just to shower with straight people!
So the Parade of Stupid continues for the next year and those around the world who hate us learn more reasons to hate us with every Republican debate they follow. Hell....I'm one click away from donning a dynamite belt myself!
As long as there's money to be made Bachmann & Alice will ride the train. I understand Bachmann's willingness to look like an idiot for the next year. And I guess since Alice worked hard for Hucka-human-piece of trash, it's no sweat off her back to keep collecting those paychecks from Bachmann since by now Alice is used to smelling shit up close. But boy...how does she live with herself?
None of this is of actual importance since Obama will be elected by a comfortable margin next year. He's the only adult on the ballot, already. Our Bible-beaters will never vote for a Mormon and George W. Rick Perry has sunk himself. Cain could only damage himself more by converting to Mormonism....and that leaves no one in the Republican camp who has a ghosts of a chance of beating Obama.
So let us Occupy our beautiful minds with thoughts of how to ward off the coming revolution. I had a 2 am talk this morning with daughter 2 about how the coming revolution is much needed, but it will disrupt our lives in ways we can't at this moment imagine.
We need to figure out how we'll make it over 3 or 4 years of no jobs, no schooling, little to no electricity, and damn little food. It's what people in Arkansas had to do in the last Civil War, this one won't be any different except for being viewed on YouTube by those lucky enough to still have Internet access.
Our Fort Sumter moment will happen when the first US city decides to mow down hundreds of protesters. Might be before Thanksgiving, might be before Christmas, might be in the very dead of winter, but it will happen and we have to gird our loins in preparation. At least it will stop these damn ridiculous Republican debates! Gird, baby, gird!
Funny dbi!
Maybe they're censoring Michele because she's leaning commie and atheist:
"Michele Bachmann Wants America To Be Like China"

If you took all the government money out of the Bachmann family they'd be living under a bridge. Her words are the nattering of an aging cockroach, nothing more.
It’s all so sad. My heart bleeds. Tears unending flood my vision and sink all Hope.
Or would if I cared.
Still, I can’t help thinking about poor Alice and Michele: their dreams, tossed and blown. Where will they go? What will they do?
Put together a duo? Break it in at Beth Anne Productions in Magnolia? Hit the Big Time in Branson?
Why were they born, asks the musical question? Why are they living?
Cometh the musical answer which restoreth Hope along with my soul, from a beloved white gospel singer, male, Welsh, in sequins . . .
No. Can't go there. Too Judge Gunn by way of Trifecta. (Which reminds me: how're the numbers?)
Here's another version, answering the musical etc. Another male. No sequins.

The Newt is starting to gain some traction in the polls...how long before the GOT Party turns and focuses on him? It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Four More Years...I'm not sure that won't cause some of our trolls on here to blow a gasket.
This afternoon, Bachmann was reported to have said that waterboarding should be reinstated and that President Obama had turned the CIA reporting to the ACLU. It is really good seeing a pseudo-christian pushing torture. I wonder whether she would introduce a bill to apologize to the families of those Japanese who were executed after WWII for waterboarding Allied prisoners.

Another rip-roaring Republican primary
What was that I said about intraparty contests being a sign of political party strength (and some headaches for party's that like a unified front)?
