    This sure is an interesting story considering the manufactured outrage that the far right is drumming up. They were all for it before they were against it?

    I keep thinking, they can't go any further right and then they do. I have to pinch myself and and ask is this really 2012?

      Republicans have the fatal flaw of being politicians, and therefore they have the backbone of a blade of grass.

        I just do not understand your myopic fascination with the internecine struggles between two groups of privileged insiders with little to recommend one over the other.

        I said I was concerned about the federal government playing too prominent a role in our lives, and you reply by saying you'd rather have Democrats running your life than Republicans!

        In all seriousness, why choose either?

        At one time, there was a quaint notion called "public service," that the government was supposed to be a servant of the people. Now they expect us to be their servants; they are not far away from demanding it. We are supposed to do what they tell us, we are supposed to give over half of our money to them (add up all the different taxes by various entities at different levels) so that they can do what ever they please with it?

        No thank you.

        If you have a serious reason why you think this is actually a good thing, I mean this in a friendly way: please explain it, as I genuinely would like to understand that kind of thinking! I promise not to ridicule as long as you respond with something substantive, not flippant.

She also has ego issues that always make it look like she might put her own career interests ahead of everything else including sense. Therefore the Ailes types float her as a possibility, just for kicks. It's concern trolling.

              Obama's done a good job given the situation and the mindless wall of opposition he's had to work with. Obviously the far right has their crazy conspiracy theories about him and the center right has been trained to hate him for the sin of having a (D) after his name. They don't matter, they aren't in play any way. The other 2/3rds of the country are in play and he seems to be doing well enough with them to be reelected. His most coherent critics are among the movement left, and 2000 showed them they have nowhere else to go unless they want to plunge the country back into the nightmare of the Bush years.

              So, barring some sort of cataclysm, Obama ought to win win about as comfortably as in 2008 against Romney, or in a rout against Santorum; nobody on the right will learn any lessons about abandoning their failed policies or their suicidal demographic isolation, and we'll have at least 2 more years of gridlock after which he might get a more rational House to work with.

              The funny thing about all the puffed up bloviation from the VRWC is that, like Clinton before him, Obama has governed center-right and will be remembered down the line as an uncontroversial centrist like Ike, JFK, or Bush I. Talk about much ado about nothing...

                          it seems to me that Obama is neither a communist nor a socialist. Those 'ism's are founded on a set of beliefs about human nature which Obama does not seem to share.

                          I really hope I am wrong in my reading of the situation; it does appear to me that Obama cares less about the specifics or details of any particular policy as long as he is the guy in charge. He says using torture to uncover terrorists plots is bad, capturing terrorists and holding them prisoner is bad, and so he expands the use of drones to kill terrorists instead, and he is fine with that. * Most reasonable people, it seems to me, would call that cognitive dissonance, yet he appears to be perfectly comfortable with the apparent contradiction.

                          He seems to like running for President because he seems to like people to praise him; he does not seem to like being President very much. I wonder if he has set a record yet for most rounds of golf played in a four-year term?

                          He truly seems to believe that he knows better than anyone else what people "need" and by golly he is going to force it upon us for our own good, whether we want it or not!

                          That leaves me feeling uneasy, just as in a similar way, many of GWB's policies also left me feeling uneasy.




                          * I do give him credit for having the stones to okay the raid that killed bin Laden.

                            you totally lost me. government squandering and wasting other people's hard work is a good thing because of simple math?

                            again, please expound, i am really genuinely curious to see how this unfolds. I truly am trying to learn:

                            See the parable of the six blind men and the elephant, which i really like, and you'll know where my curiosity comes from. what is it about government waste that you like, that I am missing??
