Frequently he does but not always. We need a big dose of the tenth ammendment so this truth can again be manifested and economics can assume its rightful place in the managment of homes instead of Empires.

I’m so sorry to be repetitive here. There is a huge difference between self-interest and selfishness. This seems to be lost on a lot of people…

So I think he could use some fixes to the body ….

There are people at Staples etc. who benefited from the greed of Mitt Romney (who, as a proven businessman should go BACK INTO BUSINESS!). Ron Paul delivered babies. It is hard for me to identify who was “helped” by the likes of Messiah Obama or “Washington outsider” Consultant-Moonman-Newt unless “help” is defined as the government stealing for A and “redistributing” the proceeds to B.

[Brilliant.]

He’s dumb like a fox and is well on his way to realizing his dream of the marxist redefining the United States as a bastion of the left. Meanwhile we enlightened few spend our time fretting over Newt’s libido or Mitt’s Sunday school lessons or any one of a thousand issues that mean zilch. We are the stupid ones, not Obama. It’s long past time the left, especially their stenographers in the media, came under serious, unrelenting attack. We just stand around and piss our pants over unimportant details while the stupid left sits back and laughs. A revolting development.
