O!: “Go to Howard Johnson’s …”
Today in Ohio, lost in all the flurry of the news about the jobs numbers, was a speech almost as strange and depressing given by our current president, Barack Obama, as he talked about his own childhood. This way of life and standard of living, he appeared to say, is the American ideal and what people should be prepared to settle for:
Nobody expected to get fabulously rich, although it was great if people got rich. But when I think about my family and Michelle’s family, what made us rich was spending time together, and the idea was that if our families were of good character and had good values and you we willing to work hard, then you could find a job that paid a decent wage. And eventually if you saved enough you could own a home. And you knew that you wouldn’t go bankrupt if you got sick because you had some health insurance. And maybe you took a vacation every once in a while. And it wasn’t necessarily some fancy vacation at some fancy resort.
Best vacation I had when I was a kid was my grandmother, my mom and my sister — we traveled around the country on Greyhound buses and on trains and we stayed at Howard Johnson’s.
Yeah, that’s right, aspire to a job with a “decent” wage and vacations at the Howard Johnson’s. Now that’s living.
And if you can’t afford the Greyhound bus and motel, there’s always the immensely popular Bundy vacation on your living room couch.
Of course, that’s assuming the 34,000 people who dropped out of the labor force in June alone still have a living room couch.
Heck of a job, Barry!
greyhound buses are a good way to pick up flesh-eating bacterias
and bed bugs
Howard Johnson’s doesn’t even have the ice cream parlour/slatwater taffy gift shop anymore.
President Tire Gauge hits yet another milestone in clueless inanity passed off as common sense brilliance.
Romney and family are staying at his own house in New Hampshire, not some rented mansion in Martha’s Vineyard. Why does Obama only vacation where rich white folks live?
– He’s down to channeling Jimmah Darleen. Its called “lowered expectations”.
– Remember the Cahtah malaise. You set the bar low enough so even your fucking disaster of an economy looks “reasonable”.
– Problem is he’s spent almost 4 years telling the whole country of bitter clingers that hard work and success is “teh evil”, and if you dare to be excellant they’ll just steal your money and give it to the mommies basement slackers who “work smart, not hard, not at all”. Now listen up all you stupid flyover yokels, vote for me!
– They really believe their ‘White western guilt’ crap will work.
–
Wow. BLS reports total employees at Federal and State Level, and all Private employment.
BLS only reports earnings for Private employment.
I noticed that government employment is pretty much a flatline over time. Seeing as the budget keeps rising, I’d love to see what is happening to government earnings over time.
and yet Obama’s slavish admirers will continue to excuse this miserable excuse for a president.
Howard Johnson?! Oooo, big man! Mister wealthy.
America is a Motel 6 kinda place now, big shot!
Because I can’t help myself…
argh – why no pictures?
picture?
drat
Mmmm slatwater! I meant saltwater of course.
Of course grill water is even better! And screen water is to die for.
– Enrak. You won’t have to work to hard to get the answer to that question. Its there for all to see. Here in La La land we’ll being doing the ‘expose’ by the numbers for years, as city after city, and governmental agency after agency, and state run schools, one after another go broke, done, bellyup. We’ve had three cities and two state schools file for bankrupcy in one week. Stay tuned sports fans. (Pay no attention to the high-speed rail multi-billion dollar boondoogle behind the curtin.)
“…and yet Obama’s slavish admirers will continue to excuse this miserable excuse for a president.”
– Let the rending of clothes and screeching and pulling of hair begin. I would imagine they’ll have to put the inmates of the ‘Great Progressive temple of stupidity and Clan of the Marxist Cult cave bears’ on suicide watch.
When was Obama in the contiguous US to make this epic tour to discover America with dear old mom and his typical white person granny? How old was he? Did they swing through Connecticut to steal his SS number?
So many questions our hard-hitting journos aren’t asking.
– Leigh, that is the reason I think its over for the Won. Hes starting to lose the puppy dog press, and as you saw yesterday, even Huffington post is calling him out on it suddenly. The bloom is finally off the rose, and the Libturd press is afraid of being caught in the glare of loser-ville with Bummblefuck, and getting it in the backside with its faithful.
– You know, that old Leftist loyalty thing that seems to hinge on important issues like ‘celebrity’, and screw principles. Thats for suckers. You go where the bucks are.
– If the braindead left senses that the O’bummble ship of state is losing its glam even just a bit, the whole house of Progressive cards will go south faster than a prom dress in the back seat of a Chevy. They’re so cute that way.
– The depth and speed of the collapse will be breath taking.
I agree it’s ovah! for the Wonce, BBH. Was it just me or did he not look like he had a major league hang-over at his first stop in Ohio yesterday? I haven’t seen such puffy eyes on anyone else who hasn’t been on a bender and didn’t have time to sleep it off or was on a major crying jag.
Back in the 1980s, my friends and I would go to the Howard Johnson’s in downtown SLC in the wee hours of the morning to have breakfast and then ride the hotel elevator. We’d stop at every floor to take a gander at the garish, legacy shag carpeting in the hallways, each floor uglier than the last.
Good times.
BigBangHunter-I read a book called “Escape from Red China” many years ago. In the book, the author details a trip he took to the USSR with a fellow communist who was a true believer. The true believer refused to see just how bad things were in the USSR, even though the evidence was right in front of his eyes.
Great book and rather eye opening. That, along with “Alexander Dolgun’s Story,” pretty much gave me all the information I needed about communism.
Anyway, my point being that a certain percentage of people will never admit the truth, because they believe.
Hell, remember the “Obama is awesome” cartoons?
http://weaselzippers.us/2011/03/25/video-i-dont-care-obama-is-awesome/
– Well, of course we can’t really know for sure, but hell, how could anyone expect to weather 4 more months of this, even the Golden won.
– With Romney poised to raise more than a billion, he’ll be able to box Obama out in ad time at evey turn. His camp already has an ad onslaught in place for the Olympics, and we’re just getting started.
– For ~Q~’s part it keeps getting leaked that he’s on the phone day after day begging for donations. so everywhere you look spells bad news for Bozo.
Karl Rove’s PAC is pounding Florida with pro-Romney/anti-Obama ads this week. Romney is sitting on the king of all warchests and the Wonce is burning through his like a rapper on a cocaine binge. In fact, they are burning more cash than they are raising and will be stone broke at the rate they are going.
Wall streeters are pissed at him for double-crossing them after they got him elected last time and are keeping their pocketbooks locked up tight. So he has movie stars and Michael Moore going for him. Plug in the sucky job numbers and all the band-aid fixes and broken promises and stick a fork in him.
Sheesh, I killed the thread.
Hey President Tire Gauge! Are you going to get us into an actual shooting war with Iran so you can claim that switching presidents in the early part of a war is a bad thing? Well, are ya? is that on the table? Is that one of the eggs you are willing to break to have a lost shot at making that omelette?
There! Thread CPR in progress. Asshole style!
Pala, did you see that our new pals in Kabul executed a woman in the public square with a shot to the head today? That’ll teach those bitches to keep their burkas on, alrighty.
– Thread wasn’t dead Leigh. Had to take a break from giggling like a school girl and grinnin to do a bit of shopping.
– Youngest son got him a jee-ob today. Could’nt be happier for him. His first one.
Congratulations! What’s he doing?
– Chefing at a local restaurant, and starting Chefs school in Sept. Kids been pounding the pavement for 3 years.
– I want him to go to Stanford, but first things first.
Leigh at this point I’m just for arming the shit out of anyone in Afghanistan who asks for guns bullets and grenades, and let them sort it out.
They know best what they want and who they have to kill to get it.
The Taliban would calm down if the crowd stood up to them and narc-ed on them, and more than once, one of their soccer stadium holy-torture parties ended with two hundred of their strong arms dead in a pile and left there to rot no matter how much their mom’s come to cry and beg for the remains.
Similarly the guy who wants to whip you with a rubber hose because dad’s beard is too short and an informer said you listen to music on your satellite dish had would be MUCH less likely to drop buy if he thought he was likely to catch a 12 gauge slug to the gut while his friend walks home with his fingers smashed or cut off, pictures of his face without the mask distributed to interested parties, and the words “taliban fuck off or die, and BTW thanks for the new truck” painted on a sign that has been nailed/stapled to his back via the shoulders.
Afghanistan BADLY needs a cowboy culture that doesn’t want trouble but also doesn’t put up with shit and understands the colorful language of revenge, intimidation, and deterrence as well as the would be oppressor. The equation is that peace usually occurs when Capone’s boys learn to fear Ness as much as they do Capone. When it becomes a war all the non mandatory violence seems less than profitable.
Gangsters generally don’t like burn down stores surrounded by angry armed people who hate gangsters and will fight back and take pictures of the gangsters while they fight and send them to the police. Bikers also back away from big trouble and being outgunned and outnumbered. Theocratic thugs are not really any different. A few want to go to heaven and will do anything to get there. The rest just want to get paid and go home after an easy day of hitting outnumbered softies. They will quickly peel off when they are asked to be yet another wave of cannon fodder for ugly old men with no scars. They have morale like anyone else and it CAN be shaken. The people of Afghanistan will have to learn to do that for themselves because Karzai and Obama have both pretty much sold them out so the New York Time and Le Monde would say nice things about them for a week. Afghanistan is just the new South Vietnam. They would do well not to trust us (Obama or Congress) to keep them safe but take care of it themselves. They should have figured out by now that they will suffer whether they depend on others to fight for them or if they submit to the enemy. The only way out is to organize, do their own fighting, and throw away their tribal warlord bribery system for a network that identifies and kills Taliban or drives them out of the country and seizes their stuff. A tribe can’t do it. A sense of national duty and common purpose is required. In the wasteland two tribes can fight until they are out of sons. But a government that serves and protects its people has far more sons than ANY tribe ever will. A government that robs and cheats and lies to its people and sells them to their enemies will shrivel and die quickly.
It would be awful. Lost of fleeing refugees. But I don’t think holding back the water there is possible. All we can do is make sure the ones we want to win are armed and organized and hope for the best. It’s a world of warlords and utopians paying thugs to keep their fantasies alive with blood from the chosen goats they wish to punish.
And now I have succumbed to British post Imperial Real-Politik. Kill me now.
Which chef’s school? One of my nephews went to Johnson and Wales in Rhode Island, but they have other campuses around the country, too. He’s the head chef at a private college cafeteria now that he is married and has a family. Before that he had a lovely little bistro/bakery but it wasn’t paying the bills.
And now I have succumbed to British post Imperial Real-Politik. Kill me now.
Hell, come sit by me. I’ve been there for at least two years now.
Okay, I have to go start dinner. BBL.
“The true believer refused to see just how bad things were in the USSR, even though the evidence was right in front of his eyes.”
That old Russki joke comes to mind:
– “Each year the Peoples Farm Collective announces a record setting bumper crop, and then we peasents go out and purchase all the imaginary food at the non-existant markets with all the invisible money we don’t have. For the glory of the Rodina!”
– Or in Bummble-speak…. Forward Comrades!
– Its a local community college Leigh. Just want him to get his feet wet, and some sort of career/vocation in place, and later, once he’s established and stable so I don’t have to worry about him, he can go for the ‘big’un’.
Great book and rather eye opening.
The Forsaken by Tim Tzouliadis (a British Greek) is really good, too. It follows Americans who emigrated to the USSR during the depression, some just looking for work, others True Believers, and what happened to them after Stalin started cracking down.
Most interesting is the reaction of the American Embassy and the ambassadors to the USSR such as Joseph Davies, who was fascinated by Stalin’s show trials and deemed them fair. There’s perfidy from FDR and Duranty, plus gulags, the gold mines of Kolyma, and Potemkin villages.
All based on true stories of people who survived long enough to tell their stories, and told in an extremely engaging manner by someone who is not impressed by either the U.S. or the USSR.
It should be made into a movie.
Every kid should learn some kind of trade that cannot be outsourced.
– Heres a thought, because well, I’m in an impish sort of mood, now that it seems we have Oglethorp Humperdink on the run.
– If Romney wants to absolutely guarantee a win, and at the same time totally mind-fuck the Left, he could ask Hillery to be his VP.
– Or Adam West. either one, and ~O~ and his merry band of robbing-in-the-huuds could just go straight from the Whitehouse to unemployment lines in the windy city.
– It isn’t going to happen, but the look on their faces when they heard it….Priceless!
Batman as vice-president? He could do worse.
Just finished The Forsaken, dicentra. Excellent book. Doubt if any lessons have been learned though.
– Just for shits and giggles I fired off that suggestion to Romney headquarters, just to see what sort of response I would get.
Outlaw!
Cranky-D Yeah, that’ll work. One spoiled rich kid hiring another spoiled rich kid with anger management issues….
Just want him to get his feet wet, and some sort of career/vocation in place, and later, once he’s established and stable so I don’t have to worry about him, he can go for the ‘big’un’.
Good for him (and your wallet!) Cooking professionally is very demanding. It’s hot, you have to carry heavy slabs of meat or whole fish, if you work in a place that does its own butchering, and you are on your feet for hours at a time. Everything has to be broken down and cleaned every day, too. A lot of people just love it though, thank goodness.
Once he learns his knife skills and is able to work with speed he should be a valuable employee, especially since there is such a large hotel and restuarant market where you live. Tell him to stay out of the Gaslamp District, though. It’s mostly tourists and clubs and is a dead-end. Coronado and La Jolla are the places that look good on a resume.
I don’t think Allen West is out of the question. He’d fire up the base, help carry Florida and he’s a black guy who ain’t a smug Steve Urkel (and doesn’t have Obama’s record.)
Also, he’s fantastic on the stump and a West/Biden debate would be hilarious.
Yeah, but BBH wants Adam West to be the VP candidate. Cornball actor for the win!
Allen West would be awesome. No one is going to rattle him.
Now, Adam West is busy keeping Metropolis safe since they are over-run with weird criminals and have a shitty police force.
Make that Gotham City.
– All good thoughts Leigh. He’s a big kid, 6’5 and 240, strong as an ox, with the disposition of Andy Griffith, and the mind of Arthor C. Clarke. I’m a retired Physicist, and he amazes me with his acuity. Drives me nuts sometimes with his youthful gulibility, but man hes going to go places, I just know it.
– Hes already half way through his first novel. Hes practically a professional photographer and does his own illustrations. Thats not just a proud dad talking.
– But then, all my kids turned out well.
no leigh you didn’t kill the thread
sorry I haven’t been here much … stupid head cold knocked me out yesterday, then for most of today, I’ve been sitting at my ‘puter with a box of tissues at hand and my wacom tablet in the other doing photo finishing on a family shoot hubby and I did two weekends ago. The pics are awesome (south laguna beach a couple of hours before sunset) and we were to meet with family tomorrow to preview pics
now THEY just called and can’t make it for a week due to family emergency
(I’m down to about 4 pics … hanging it up for the day)
– Ohhhhhhhh did I say ‘Adam’ West…snort….What a goof I am. I meant Sam Adams of course.
* Smack! * Whaaaa?…..Oh…..sorry.
*Waving to Darleen ‘cross town*. Get better oh sweet one. :)
Thanks BBH! and congrats to your son!
Yeah, Sam would work too. And he’d probably wind up shooting Biden. I think we could work with that.
Pablo, I think we could separate a lot of flyshit from pepper in politics if we just brought back duelling.
BBH, my youngest wants to be an astro-physicist. First it was just astronomy he was interested in, but he’s a math wizard and loves physics. (You were right, cranky.)
– Yes he would. Knowing Sams temprament and
tolorance for all things cowardly, he’d listen to a few minutes of Bidens blather and brand his a useless Copperhead, and use his Colt to add a different sort of plug to the mouths hair line.
– Now Leigh, what in the world would ever make you think the Left woulf be ‘uncomfortable’ if they had to do thier Progressive schtick among a well armed citizenry? Heh, and double heh.
” Adam West. ”
Na na na na na na Na na na na na na BatVEEP!!
I assume you meant Alan West though. Or Mae West.
Mae West on Obama politics:
“Heyyyy….ssssslow down ssssoldier….Ah’m just do’in mah part to ree-distribute the weeeealth…’an the more the ree-distribution, the bettaaaah”
Didn’t Obama’s school fisting czar recommend minors have sex with adult strangers found at a bus station…but I do not know if it was a Greyhound bus station… Does anyone know?
– Differences in the Middle East? What could possibly go wrong?
See, BBH? That’s what I’m talking about. Our politicians and their spokespeople would think twice about talking smack if there was the possibility that the one being dissed might throw down on them. Kind of like the bench-clearing brawls in South Korea’s parliament.
Wow, the thread came back to life. I figure leigh had killed it off…bwhahahahahaha
Dicentra, thanks for the book recommendation. Amazon had the book in stock and I was able to buy it used for a reasonable price.
*thhpppt* That’s me blowing you a raspberry, Blake.

EBL, I don’t know if the fisting guru went quite that far, but, then again, anyone who advocates fisting has already crossed the line.
I guess I must be provincial because I never asked to fist or be fisted. But maybe if it was a high school elective during my formative years I might be more open…minded.
Sounds dangerous. Homos are different, that’s for sure.
– Leigh. Wild west law doesn’t come close to the cultural disconnect between the West amd the ‘old East countries’. That is why the Lefts style of diplomacy is helpless and hopeless when they try to intellectualize their contacts with the cross cultural divide we’re faced with. Hillery might as well stick her ass out the embassy window and bay at the moon.
– These prople are raised from birth to naturally hate each other with every waking thought and breath. Western ideas of fairness and morality simply do not exist. Its ‘strong horse weak hoarse’ 24/7. Anything else is immediately branded as weakness in the Bedouin mind. The very act of conciliation is itself, seen as a weakness.
– Westerners seem unable to comphrehend such narrow minded focus because they don’t live anything close to the dog eat dog existance of the average ME 5th grade educated male.
– All the poli-sci proffesors in the free world can’t grasp or effect the slightest change on that cultural gap. The only thing that will change it is more generations of stable society conditions over there. You see the begginning effects in Iraq, where this generatuon of people think totally different, but in doing so, immediately alianate the previous generations.
– There are, of course, pockets of exceptions, such as the UAE, and the Royal Saudis, but too much of that area remains stuck, litterily, in the 11th Century.
– If there is even a word in Aramic that comes close to “conciliation”, or “nuance” for that matter, it would most likly be something equivalent to “enemy trick”. This is what you’re dealing with, and Progressives insure their failure by ignoring all the realities.
My default position is that if you’re talking to me about fisting, you want me to punch you in the face. I’m likely to oblige.
Echos of the past.
Democrats, horseshoes, and hand-grenades.
– The narrative spread to ‘create’ a false perception:
“Part of what I think needs to happen in this election is the voters once again have to send a message, ‘We want common sense ideas. We don’t [want] folks who are just saying no to everything….”
– The reality the Left wants to ignore:
“Part of what needs to happen in this election is the voters once again have to send a message, ‘We want common sense ideas. We don’t want folks who are just saying yes to every nannystate idea, growing government endlessly, while eroding every persons freedoms. In fact what we want most of all is a sharp reduction in busybodies in Washington who’s only purpose of being there is to pursue those interferrences in our private lives.”
– There, fixed that for him.
BBH, when I was in grad school we had a lot of ME males, no ME females, and a lot of former Soviet Union students, male and female.
The ME males all sat together, studied together, gave all the Westerners hateful glares (but tried to grope the Western females if we got too close) and spoke to each other in whatever language they spoke. They never participated in class, either. They tried to be scary.
The Russians had zero patience with any starry-eyed lefties who talked about how awesome socialism was. And Communism! It must be heaven! I used to love to listen in on the dressing down they gave those dumb-ass American kids. “Lies! It’s all lies! Soviet Union was hell, you idiot!” it would start.
So, yes you are right. People here watch “documentaries” made by other starry-eyed lefties and think them true. Nothing could be further from the truth. The ME wants us dead. All of us. The Russians in the US will never go back and spit when they say their countries name.
– I’ll say Leigh, I could tell some stories about grad school in the late 60’s at the univ. of Rochester, the SDS, and anti-war movement, that would curl your toe naiks. The true-believers are walking lunitics, plain and simple. People like Alinsky and Burnedette Dorn were pussy cats compared to the ones that stayed hidden. Thats one reason I went after Kerry so aggressively in the TANGate flap.
– To this day that lying son of a bitch has never produced his dds-180.
“Part of what I think needs to happen in this election is the voters once again have to send a message, ‘We want common sense ideas. We don’t folks who are just saying no to everything”
In 2010 we voted a bunch of no votes in and threw a bunch of squishy blue dog yes votes out with the trash. Alll those yes votes pissed a LOT of folks off and they got together and took Nancy’s giant gavel away. The whole point was to tie Obama’s hands so there’d be no more Obamacare type stuff and and no more stimulus plans. People wanted to put an end to that shit. And they did. If they liked it then they’ll vote for more no votes and they’ll tie his hands even more and maybe even kick his ass out of office. Deal with that leftist. Your socialist dreams were not popular. They alienated the middle. They resurrected the right who’s predictions of leftist excess, previously deemed paranoid, were suddenly coming true. The left brought this ass kicking on themselves by not listening to the voters and then daring to laugh at them, insult them, threaten them, lie to them, and smugly ignore them. Now the left is completely delusional calling for phantom voter divisions to shore up lost flanks. Now they are telling themselves that they just weren’t crazy enough and if they’d really tried some bugfuck Stalinist shit then everyone would love them. If the repulicans weren’t so fucking stupid and cowardly they’d have already wiped the democrats out as a political force by reminding the public of the sick, insane things that the democrats are now known for doing and saying. Sadly the Republicans are too gutless for that and instead of sealing the deal prefer to bark at their own would be supporters for expecting them to act like they said they would.
Just finished The Forsaken, dicentra. Excellent book. Doubt if any lessons have been learned though.
No, they haven’t. I was fascinated by people like Joseph Davies, who were RIGHT THERE to see the atrocities, and yet preferred to go all fan-boy over Stalin. Davies got a thrill up his leg being in the presence of Stalin, and admired the crease in his pants.
Yet when his wife asked him what the ruckus was at 3 am, when people were being disappeared from their apartments, he told her it was just construction, and he fell back soundly asleep.
What the hell do people like that tell themselves to justify turning a blind eye to mass murder, and to even enjoy being hypnotized by a charming sociopath?
They’re not cut out of any cloth I recognize as human.
– Maybe all thats true Palaeo, but heres another truth. What the ruling class is to timid or gutless to do on theie own they Will do when they feel the wrath of the electorate at the ballot box. Greatest polirical motivator known to man.

the first step is to admit you have a problem
For some reason the little engineering school I went to in WV back in the 70s was very popular with Iranian students, acted the same way. They were very unsucessful at the scary part around a bunch of hillbilly kids. We thought they were silly until the “hostage crisis”. Then they found out what scary was.
This is cool: Author Brad Thor: ‘We are all Andrew Breitbart’
At U Illinois Chicago, Ayers home base, there was a very large contingent of Palestinians(sic) in the engineering school. I had skipped one common engineering course and had to go back and take it as a Senior. The day of the final exam I see about 10-12 of these guys ready to take the exam who I know are not in the class, must have been grad students covering for their homies.
At that point I was a bit burnt out, a bit disgusted, and just slightly less crazy than I am now, so I jumped up on a desk and start hollering, “if you are not in this class I am going to NARC YOU OUT”, pointing at people and generally acting like one of those uptight white guys you hear about who don’t like cheating. The swarthy instructor threatened to escort me from the exam and then I really got worked up. He and I went into the hall, he calmed me down, we went back in , and they were gone.
I figure I saved many people that day, as no one died in the bridge that didn’t collapse. You’re welcome.
Not that there’s anything wrong with being swarthy – if I were any swarthier my back hair would be on the cover of Wop Quarterly.
When I was in undergrad, back in the 70s, we also had a lot of Iranian students. They drove expensive cars, wore flashy watches and gold chains. They also spent a lot of time putting up posters in Farsi and picking up gullible American girls (not me). After the Ayatollah took over they all disappeared. The grad students were all from the Stan countries, iirc.
Coincidentally, my husband, who was active duty in the 70s, had an assignment teaching Iranians pilots to fly helicopters. He said they were a bunch of arrogant bastards who all hung together and spoke to each other in Farsi.
– Teh Wons ‘Transformation of AmeriKa rolls on:
Governor Paul LePage of Maine is making news for allegedly referring to the IRS as the “new Gestapo” Saturday, after blasting the president’s overhaul of our health care system.
He reportedly said:
“This tax will add to the $500 billion in tax increases that are already in Obamacare. Now that Congress can use the taxation power of the federal government to compel behavior or lack thereof, what’s next? More taxes if we don’t drive Toyota Priuses or if we eat too much junk food or maybe even pea soup?”
– The Obama politoburo is obviously rushing to get as much infrastructure in place as possible so the ObamaTaxCare jaugernaught has significant momentum before the November elections to help ward off any planned rollback of the legislation.
– I would not be surprised if the bastards tried to burn down the WH and the Capital buildings on their way out the door should they lose.
– Read the rest here.
I’m watching FNS and Debbie Washerwoman-Schultz just said that Romney is “the most extreme candidate the GOP has had in decade.”
Oh, my sides.
BBH
Hey, with the new taxing power, O! can solve unemployment right away,
just levy an extra tax on people who don’t have a job.
leigh
Romney extreme?
That must be some really good glue she’s sniffing …
Progressives always try to paint the GOP candidate as extreme. I wish they would be correct for once, but so far it’s never been true in my lifetime.
Breitbart news:
“Unemployment Rate Dropped In Every State That Elected A Republican Gov. In 2010”
“In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. “…..more.
– Those bitter clinger Teabaggers just want to keep us hard resting freeloaders down!… H8ters!!111!!!
– Why stop there Darleen. The Dems could now levy a tax on anyone who *doesn’t* vote for them (ballot box inactivity).
Xavier Becerra is now prattling about how awesome the ACA is. He also screwed up and called it a tax several times before he corrected himself.
Heh.
Tom Price (who is a doctor) just told Becerra he’s full of shit. Well, not in so many words.
– The Dems will try desperately to hang on to ObamaTaxCare and protect it because its the last ‘giveaway’ vote bribing tool they have left. They’ve spent all the money, and the housing bust is come and gone, so its all they’ve got.
BBH, Gov. LaPage is the man. He’s just an old yankee who doesn’t take any guff.
Heh. Reminds of a story I heard about several lefties who went on a trip to the Soviet Union to see the wonderful worker’s paradise for themselves. They were all convinced that it was a wonderful place, but they all brought their own toilet paper….
Well, leigh, Suzie What’shernameSchultz is technically right. Over the last decade we’ve had GWB and McLame. Compared to those two, Romney is definitely extreme. And a Mormon.
John Nolte can cram an order of tendersweet fried clams up his nose.
“John Nolte can cram an order of tendersweet fried clams up his nose.”
– Ok. But can he do it while reading lies from a teleprompter for a solid hour without choking or coughing like Obama?
When he lubes ’em up with tartar sauce first, nose wet.
:P
With historical averages.
He’s inevitable. Because of how he’ll appeal to the moderates.
Is the DWS person being ironically imaginative? I’d never send her out to pick up ‘hot’ hot sauce, because she’d come back with pablum and call it Picante. Romney is the softest GOP softy since, oh, McCain or Dole.
Let’s hope he picks up a sledgehammer somewhere. Before this is all over before it even gets started.
Another good chart, for those who seek ’em.
But, RAAAAACIST!
