The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

Why is extending the payroll tax cut automatically seen as a good thing? If it is a good thing why isn't it made permanent?

I am surprised that you do not have an answer to that being that you said this about the video rosborne979 shared with all of us.



It seems that congress is able to use these types of things as leverage.
At 7 1/2 min into the video Larry talks about these types of practices.

Well rl--I understood that. There's nothing new in it. It's the female modus operandi isn't it. Washington is a whore. Everybody knows that. And, like all kept women, insatiable. Her pleasure knows no limits--her voice is like a meadow lark--her heart is like an ocean--mysterious and dark. Which must represent the Tea Party's visceral feeling.

I was really referring to the tenor of the news broadcasts I've seen. As if not extending the tax cut is going to render 200 million Americans into down-and-outs. Extending the tax cut might well be a grave mistake. In the metaphor herein the equivalent of a lady sat with her knees apart sucking a lollipop and staring you out.

Your bozo is too respectable. He makes it seem that there's nothing that 300 million free Americans can do about it. I watch Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert. Laurence is a mummie's boy. He likes to tickle a suspicion that you're all being fucked over. Max and Stacy lay it on the line--fast. With no frills.

Although I wouldn't mind betting that Stacy has some frillies in her lingerie armoury.

Apparently Chris Christie is more open to the idea of VP than he was to running for Prez. Interesting twist... the Rs don't have a candidate for president they can get behind in large numbers but maybe having CC as a side man would invoke some interest in the candidate himself. Now.... who is the most likely candidate to pick CC as a running mate? I'm thinking Romney will jump 5-8% in the national polls over the next week on this idea alone.

Which one might assume is a bid for 2020 when he will be 58. Years that is--not stones. Or 2016 if the P is re-elected.

From Wiki he seems a match for Putin & Co.

Just learned th a t Ron Paul is a racial bigot, and I once believed he had a good shot for my vote.

Where are you getting this from?

On the Maddow show last night.

Is this about the newsletters from the 90s that he supposedly didn't write, didn't read until 10 years later, and is now disavowing?

I just did a quick search and found that he profited off of racial jokes and his comment seem to be that it was someone else making a joke but some how he received money from the nonsense.
I have heard him say some brilliant things but I have never checked him out and I too was leaning toward voting for him.

He's pretty conservative on social issues. He's got some strange isolationist and fiscal positions and these old newsletters are coming back to bite him in the ass.

I do not know Ron Paul very well but I have heard him say some things that need to be said but when I read the negative about him it seems to out weight the positive by ten times.
It amazes me how some people can be so smart and also say some of the dumbest things.

Just a followup on Newt getting on the Repub ballot for the March 6th primary in Virginia.
He collected 11050 signatures, mostly since Saturday. Party officials will spend the rest of today verifying that at least 10000 of the names are of registered voters and at least 400 live in each of the state's 11 congressional districts.
Some GOP insiders suggest that Newt will fall short. Romney, Paul, Perry each collected 15000 signatures which meant that, under party rules, they are excluded from having their petitions reviewed. Significant is the fact that Romney et all got the bulk of their signatures at the polls last month. Newt got many of his from paid solicitors standing outside Wal-Marts this past week.
Romney's people reviewed some 5000 of the sigs on his petitions and found that 90% were legit RV's.
The review of Newt's petition should be done around midnight tonight. Word should leak out tomorrow although the official result is scheduled for next week.
The only reason this may be of any importance is that a knock on the Newt campaign has been that they are not very well organized.

Isn't it amazing? So, if he becomes president, he'll disavow anything coming out of the white house. Yup; take responsibility only for what you "remember." LOL

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but....

It doesn't look good for democrats for future elections.

With regard to Chris Christie as a VP choice by Romney, JPB:
I can not imagine the Repubs choosing a geographically unbalanced ticket: Mass and NJ.

Ooh, Trump's threatening to run as an Independent!

Perry fails to qualify to be on the Repub primary ballot in Virginia, according to Repub officials tonight.

He'll do it for the publicity that he'll get, and not from anything else.
