I probably don’t have the stomach for it and it’s Anna’s birthday so I’ll take her and her friends to dinner and to a high school production of Seussical. I’m sure that the Cat in the Hat and Horton the Elephant are far more intelligent than Brooks and Kristol.

It is difficult to pronounce “GOP RIP” for it has been brain-dead for years. Between the Yeehaw-Huck (ex-George Wallace Democrats) who joined up for social conservative reasons, the military industrial complex Haliburton plutocrats, the country-club crowd (Bush, Romney), and the formerly liberal democrats like Kristol and Guiliani who became the neoconservatives, there is little room for limited government types. The only government limitation these clowns truly get animated over is limiting the amount of power wielded by the evil nefarious Democrats.

It’s pathetic that people flock to the McCains, Brookses, Romneys & other media-anointed clowns because they feel there is “no where else to go”. Sadly, the supporters of these Republicans are as much to blame for the Welfare-Warfare leviathan as any Kennedy.

Politico has an article stating that the tea party has singled out his group for unemployment benefits. “http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/28157”

Ron Paul is radically correct, not conservative. A question conservatives should ask themselves is:

“If conservative ways were so correct then why did we abandon them?”

The US took a wrong turn in 1913. Instead of fixing a flawed banking system it ENABLED it via the Fed! Live and learn but this may be our last chance to learn. The world is rather deadly, don’t you know?

He strapped the family dog to the roof of the family station wagon, and then took off on a family vacation. The pooch was literally scared to death. It soiled the windows of the car. Romney took the car to a wash and hosed it down.

He also hired illegal aliens from Guatemala to mow the lawn of his estate.

He’s another elitist buffoon.
