1 Looks like the debate and Perry announcement have sucked up most of the news. Tiger Woods is 14 strokes back after the first round in the last major of the year; his excuse this time was 'the sun got into my eyes'.

2 Sounds like Tiger's lost his mojo. Maybe he just needs to remarry and then cheat on her in order to get it back.

3 Tried to watch the debate. Flipped it on. Newt was bloviating about something. I couldn't take it. Flipped over instead to watch the Eagles beat up on the Ravens. Better.

4 Secret to Tiger's game:  his wife's 9-iron.

5 Bobblehead Mika Bryzzinzki says Mitt is great because everybody likes him. Mittens is officially Obama's opponent of choice.

6 Here's an interesting hypothetical: suppose Hillary primaried Obama. It's definitely within the realm of possibility. How do you think any of the Republican candidates would fare against her?

7 Also, it appears Mark Halperin has been allowed to return to Morning Joe. Unfortunately, he hasn't called anyone a dick yet, but I'm holding out hope that he'll go to his famous catch phrase soon.

They'd destroy her for the same reason Hillary nor any other Democrat will primary Obama. No white Democrat is willing to make the charge that America's second black, first Muslim president is incompetent. Whoever pulls off a primary win against him can say goodbye to the black vote, and with it any chance at victory in the general.

9 Bobblehead Mika Bryzzinzki

She can't be a Bobblehead because at least a Bobblehead has a spring in its' head

10 USPS wants to ditch the Federal health care it has and set up a private system to save money.  WHAT A NOVEL IDEA!!
. 

11 How do you think any of the Republican candidates would fare against her?

We demolish her.  People forget that she herself is a far-left whackjob and that her main qualification for the presidency in 2008 was that she slept next to a president (off and on) for eight years.  She also was only a one-term Senator, just like Barry. 

Her only job experience now is as a terrible Secretary of State.  She can get hit with a lot of the foreign policy stupidity which Soetero has engaged in - Reset, Libya, etc.

Plus, she loses the black vote.  They may not vote GOP, but they stay home.

12 Wasn't she actually a student of Alinsky?

13 But if Tiger started boning Hillary, he'd win the next major and Hil would get her street cred. Win/win/win

If those f---ing bastards charge that vehicle owner with a crime, I would love to serve on his jury.  Can you say "nullification?"

This is why if our side doesn't win, America will see exactly the same thing London is seeing.  Riots and disorder, with the law abiding made victims from coast to coast.  We should rejoice that the vehicle owner's aim was true, and he rid us of another piece of criminal scum.  We should NOT have him in police custody.

34 27 I'm in Austin but got a crapload of stuff scheduled Sat.
It's my only day off.

That Lloyd is a fucking weasel let me tell you.
When he was just getting started in politics my Mom and my Dad were very active democrats and held leadership positions in Austin. They helped him get elected.  My Mom spent months working for his campaign. Fast forward a decade and my Mom has terminal cancer so I call his office and he has no idea who she is. Fucker.

35 I dont see any Dim primarying Obama, except Zell. If Obama takes his marbles and goes home, then I worry about Mark Warner/Harold Ford Jr.

36 It's good to see that the new SuperCommittee is already producing some results, if only for its members:
 
Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, and Reps. James Clyburn of South Carolina and Xavier Becerra of California are already being targeted for circumstances that could compromise their abilities to negotiate.

Becerra, for example, wasted no time before using his appointment as a fundraising tool for his own campaign.
 
Murray is heading the fundraising for the Dem Senate reelection group.

37 There seems to be a "draft Hillary" movement. I didn't know this until yesterday but she has said she will not serve on Obama's second term (if he gets one, obviously!) She cited "disappointment and frustration."

38 I'm wondering if Obama will dump Biden for someone more exciting.  His base is demoralized..  A younger woman, maybe?  But who?  They are all shrill bitches.

39 Conservative women will not vote for Hilldog just because she is a woman.  They have better sense than that.  You can't group the womens vote like you can the black vote.  90% of women will not vote for Hillary.

40 Another thought: would a President Biden have made a better CiC?

41 Hillary would have the woman vote sown up, would she not? Even some "conservative" women would vote for her, right? Wouldn't that offset the loss of the black vote?

The 'women' vote didn't work out too well for her in 2008.  She might move a few idiots, but mostly the election will come down to a referendum on the incumbent. 

Even if Soetero isn't the nominee, the Dems still have the stench of his failure attached to them.

42 Biden is an idiot.  Slow Joe is not just a nickname.  And yes, he would have made a better CiC.  Just about anybody would.

43 GALLUP HAS DEMS +7 ON GENERIC CONGRESSIONAL?!

Really?

This would have me more worried if Gallup had not always been pretty much insane on this poll in the past.  Prior to 2010, Gallup would have Republicans +6, then next week Democrats +6, then next week Republicans +6.  12 point swings in a week.  Obviously impossible.

How does Obama get a 40% approval rating with America clamoring for more Democrats in Congress because they all want to pay higher taxes and have bigger government?  Disconnect anyone?

44 GALLUP HAS DEMS +7 ON GENERIC CONGRESSIONAL?!

The problem with that is that congressional elections are never generic-- they're specific, and they're localized.  Even a big margin on a national question is meaningless since everybody votes for their own Rep or Senator.

Lenin would have made a better CiC.  He at least introduced limited capitalism when he saw War Communism wasn't working.

50 I got think about Hillary primarying Obama after reading an article where someone had said Hillary would have been a better President and everyone clapped...including Republicans.

51 Would Hillary have made a better President? I think she would have been worse. Imagine what the health care law would have been like if someone who is used to dealing with Congress was there? Thank god Obama was not a strong leader for that! If Hillary were President we would still have an insanely liberal CiC, but she'd be more ruthless and cold-blooded about it.

52

Obama 2012 campaign strategy becomes clear:

He's running against Congress.

So Â… it's all the Tea Party's fault for rallying those nitwits who don't understand how much good the government does for them.

Probably the same worthless Repukes that voted for Jugears McFly because they couldn't stand voting for Palin.  Muffer Stalin-Rodham would be almost as bad as B+ Hussein but she'd probably be less incompetent and harder to vote out.  We'd still be going down the road to insolvency but it would be handled more smoothly than the Indonesian Imbecile has so there probably wouldn't be the Tea Party and we'd be stuck choosing between commiecrats and a bunch of Rockefeller Repukes that love to spend money just as fucking much.  What a bargain!!!

56 Obama or Hillary.  Like a choice between the devil or its grandmother.

57 So...who would be your preferred pick for a Perry Veep? Doesn't have to be anyone running. Personally, I'd think a Perry/Norris ticket would be too much awesomeness. It would probably tear a hole in reality or something.

58 Hillary would have been more effective, both for good and bad, but she wouldn't have had the cult of personality and cries of 'racism!' backing her up.  The 'sexist' card is a lot less toxic and likely wouldn't have benefitted her that much.

She might be in a far better situation than JEF at this point though, because she probably wouldn't have been such a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure on the economy.  She probably wouldn't have ignited the 'Arab Spring' and all the other commie bullshit that Barry did, but maybe so, if that was really what her scumbag masters like Soros were planning to begin with.

59 I think new VP will be Colin Powell. New hope and change, papers overs weaknesses, reswooning of moderates.

60 I didn't watch the debate last night, but I did see the clip between Bachmann and Pawlenty.

75  @72.  Yes.  Perry/Rubio would be a great ticket.  But Rubio would have to be an involved VP, he is just too good to be sitting on the sidelines.  We need his voice/ideas.

76 Because what Massachusetts voters decide for their state doesn't affect the whole country. It's a very liberal state. Well yes. but we're talking about a candidate who signed into law something very similar to Obamacare. It doesn't make sense, in my opinion that he's the frontrunner...but I will agree that Perry will blow him out of the water. It could just be name recognition which would explain why he's already tied with Mittens. I just hope he doesn't choose him as his veep. That would suck.

77 Sorry to keep flittering from one topic to the next, but why do you suppose Obamacare is so unpopular yet Romney is the frontrunner for Republicans?
Posted by: Joffen

Name recognition.  Of the "Big Three" who ran last time, he's the only one running again.  Plus, the moderates have coalesced around him and the politicos have a hard-on for his fundraising.

Bear in mind though, he isn't like ten points ahead, Perry and Bachmann are both close to him.  Also, in early polling moderate candidates generally tend to do well - at about this time during the last campaign, Giuliani was the front runner and it looked like Romney was going to win Iowa.

78 Romney is known.  Romney looks safe.  And there aren't a lot of compelling competitors to him (yet).

And the media is pushing him.

He's just the best known alternative in a year when everybody's looking for who they get to vote for to replace Barry.

79 This time in 2007 the Presidency was Clinton's and we were all excited about Fred Thompson.

80 Hillary's only chance depends on Obama's popularity ratings being fictitious and the media's support. I wouldn't rely on the validity of any data promoting/supporting Obama. But then, I'd never rely on the MFM to get anything right, no matter. She's stuck between Obama and the media.

The "draft Hillary" movement is as much a lost cause as her '08 campaign because of the vast right wing conspiracy that crossed party lines to vote for her in the primaries, no thanks to Rush Limbaugh.

Pathetic, voters addicted to big spenders who promise anything for support.

Romney doesn't deserve to be Potus any more than Hillary does.

Just another damned Ivy Beleaguering corporate raiding blood sucker with a smiling mask with an economic record that put Massachusetts in the hole despite existing data from other states (Tennessee) proving that state mandated tax funded universal health care is a big fail in delivery of services and in managing the skyrocketing costs of medical treatment. Being for TARP as Romney's fortune depends upon the promotion of the globalist finance industry that owns him, Romney failed to offer public opinion, let alone wise and experienced advice, prior to the TARP vote when McCain killed the GOP potus campaign (calling death "suspension" as he did doesn't change the result).

At a point when ANYONE but Obama will win the presidency, choose the candidate whose entire record and platform addresses means towards constructionist constitutional governance rather than more "compassionate" socialism.

110 Posted by: GnuBreed at August 12, 2011 08:46 AM (ENKCw) Even with one set of parents per person, it can get tricky. My dad died a long time ago so its just my mom and my stepdad (who is not in good health so, realistically I don't expect him to be around long enough for me to need to take him in). Hubby only has his mom and dad. Problem is, my sibling is military and moves around a lot so he probably can't do much to help out. And hubby's two siblings can barely take care of themselves and their own families, so it will be up to us to care of his parents. We're already making provisions to take all of them in when the time comes- none of our parents will ever be in a nursing home so long as I can help it. Luckily my folks have done a lot of preparing for retirement so between that and the fact that they're a decade younger than my in-laws, I'm hoping we've got a goodly amount of time to get ready for all of it.

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you were not a racist, you better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you're not an idiot.

Is this too long for a bumper sticker?

115 So good luck figuring out which kid is taking in which parent. Or finding one that gives a crap.

Actually, it'll probably be one kid taking in like fifteen different people.  Being polygamous sucks at generating children.  It takes two people to produce one baby, so if a woman has four kids with four different men, it took five people to create four more.  There's still a giant family, but the new generation is smaller than the old one was. 

116 Sorry to keep flittering from one topic to the next, but why do you suppose Obamacare is so unpopular yet Romney is the frontrunner for Republicans? Because it doesn't affect us.

The Wasted Valor of the Navy SEALs
ByMichael Filozof

Don't get me wrong.  I'm not an anti-war dove.  I'm a hawk in the Curtis-LeMay-nuke-'em-'til-they-glow school of warfare. In all seriousness I believe we should have blown the mountaintop off with a tactical nuclear bomb when we were chasing Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora in 2001.

The Navy SEALs did not die for our freedom.  They died because they have a clueless commander-in-chief who, upon visiting a military base last year, told the troops, "You guys make a great photo-op."

I like this guy.

125 I still think that the Dems may try to pull a Torricelli: Have Obama step aside a month or so before the election due to unspecified "health issues", allowing them to bring in a fresh face to woo moderates.

126

Agreed, but isn't "best looking" a bit subjective?

Sorta but not really. For example, no one wants to go to bed with McCain, Bob Dole, or Mike Dukakis. Someone might want to go to bed with say Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, or W. No one is jumping in the sack with Pawlenty, Mitch Daniels, Ron Paul, or Newt. However, is it feasible to get it on with Mitt Romney and definately Rick Perry.

I'm still convinced that Obama fulfilled some sexual fantasy of liberal women who wanted a nice safe articulate "clean" (per Biden) black guy to have sex with.

Just imagine one of these guys walking through a bar with an audience of 15 drunk 40 year old women. Which ones would they want to "hit"? There's your candidate.

Ron Paul is a loon, but the economy is by far the dominant issue now and in the near future.  It's quite literally the hill on which this country may die on.  Ron Paul may be the best person for the job, in that respect.  He's a disaster when it comes to foreign policy, but maybe if he has a good VP who is experienced in such areas his potential damage could be mitigated. 

Until recently I would have laughed at the idea of actually voting for Ron Paul.  But really, who else would have the balls to cut entitlement spending and maybe even whole agencies?  I don't think any of the other candidates would.  I still don't think he's even close to being the best candidate, the fact that he wouldn't have killed OBL makes him hard for me to like.  But I wouldn't be completely bummed if he did somehow get the nomination.

I have no doubt that the gay agenda-makers will start redefining the term "puppets" to be a euphemism for "sex toys," purely out of spite.  And because puerile humor is apparently fun for them.

That the US shouldn't be funding either Israel or the Muslim Brotherhood "Arab Spring"? That Israel can hold its own against the Palestinians? Given non-interventionism as first resort shouldn't seem novel, let alone radical unless you've completely sold out to neoconservatism taunting the Tea Party movement as dead Hobbits.

That we're buying winning the hearts and minds of our enemies in the latest war to end all wars?

That we can expect our Military to remain in Afghanistan forever, given "at least occupying for 30-100 years".

That we can continue spending more than taxes fund without raising taxes, like our dearly beloved Reagan, and more so by GWBush, providing Obama "inherited precedence". 

That the authoritarian federal government is what you either want, need or "deserve" more of rather than less.

WTF is wrong with the world?  Why is this an issue? 

I'm starting to think the only way we'll get past this crap is if Perry picks Romney as his VP. 

183 Posted by: maverick muse at August 12, 2011 09:44 AM (lpWVn)

Okay... let's take these on, shall we?

We live in a global economy.  Our economic interests are directly tied to our other national interests- a strong economy is needed to be able to build the largest aircraft carrier in the world, for instance.  We need lots of money to build a strong military.  Given that Fortress America is not going to happen- and would be unworkable even if we tried, we have to be involved with other nations at a variety of levels.

Now, I agree that most foreign aid could and should be cut.  We don't need to be sending "aid" to China, or Syria, or Egypt, or any number of other places that hate us.  Israel, however, is another matter.  Israel is an ally, constantly under threat from all of its neighbors.  Money sent there is as much a check against those same neighbors (see also: places that hate us) as it is a benefit to Israel. 

Further, while I don't give one, let alone two, craps about "hearts and minds" in the middle east, I also admit there are people there who want to kill us.  If we weren't there killing them, they'd be here planning how to kill us.  I like the current paradigm much better, thankyouverymuch.

Raising taxes does not raise revenues.  So your third point is complete BS.  As you already know.  There are certain things the government should do, and certain things it shouldn't.  Get rid of the things it shouldn't do (or scale them back, at least) and you won't have to cry your crocodile tears over spending so much on the military.

Finally, to claim pointing out that Ron! Paul! is an idiot in every non-fiscal specific policy I've ever heard is hardly supporting an "authoritarian federal government."

Ron Paul is as much a pork-barrel spender as the rest of his generation.  He's mostly just Fortress America/Anti Israel (if not Anti-Semitic, and I've heard comments of his that make me wonder)/Anti-Fed.  One of those three policies is one I support.

184 Posted by: Anachronda at August 12, 2011 09:48 AM (6fER6)

Okay, fair- but the point remains.  If it's that abundant, and it has as many uses as are being claimed, why not capitalize on that carbon that they're otherwise just storing?

185 How about, "I wouldn't violate Pakistan's sovereignty to kill OBL?"  Cause that's completely indefensible.

1. "I wouldn't violate US sovereignty to assassinate a politician."

2. OBL died of terminal illness years ago.

3. It takes a tinfoiled brain to believe the ever mutating US official story (or any portion beyond the single fact that no one knew the targeted victims of that raid) on the supposedly recent death of OBL.

Btw, the Pakistani neighborhood witnesses said that the men from the doomed raiding helicopter you referenced were Pashtun forces, not US Navy Seals. The so called "compound" photographs since prove it wasn't anything more than a gated home. And when the copter exploded killing all within it, the entire neighborhood of 200 ran through the open gates of the raided house, finding all dead victims therein as well. The neighbors who watched from their rooftops are as credible (if not more so) than Obama or the Obama administration.

186 What will the Paulbots do when Ron leaves office? 

Somehow I think Rand is too ambitious to let them latch onto him.  I suspect he'll interact with them with the same gusto that Leonard Nimoy interacts with Trekkies.

It sounds like Santorum did a nice job on abortion and marriage.  Not that it matters in terms of his presidential aspirations, but still it's good to hear someone express a pro-life, pro-traditional marriage viewpoint well. 

I gather Pawlenty went after Bachmann.  I guess he's auditioning for the attack dog running mate role.  I really hope Perry doesn't pick him.  I don't like that jackhole.

Romney's strategy of appearing presidential without getting into a lot of substance seems to be working against a weak crowd, but will fail against Perry.  I gather his health care mandate and marriage answers were particularly uninspired.

Lots of hopes are riding on Perry.  I hope he delivers in a big way.  Gingrich, for all his faults, demonstrated last night what I want to see in the way he handeld Wallace.  He got huge applause when he smacked smarmy Wallace around.  I hope Perry will be quick on the draw, point his finger at the media - not in the air, and will not mince any words with anyone.  If he takes no prisoners, he'll take America.

Galveston's bridge isn't to no where. Whatever federal tax funds garnered from Texas prior to being appropriated through designated congressional procedure to Ron Paul's expansive, rural district don't make him porky pig. As an illustration, rather than to no where, Galveston's bridge is a functional Gulf causeway to the Island.

Further, while I don't give one, let alone two, craps about "hearts and minds" in the middle east, I also admit there are people there who want to kill us.  If we weren't there killing them, they'd be here planning how to kill us.  I like the current paradigm much better, thankyouverymuch.

And a lot of patriotic Americans liked the Domino Theory paradigm in Vietnam much better like LBJ, despite accurate advice to the contrary. It's the neoconservative lament that they were wrong all along expressed by Kristol that's a bitter pill. Ron Paul stipulated cutting military spending  but not defense spending. To say there's no difference is what's blind.

Raising taxes does not raise revenues.  So your third point is complete BS.  As you already know.  There are certain things the government should do, and certain things it shouldn't.  Get rid of the things it shouldn't do (or scale them back, at least) and you won't have to cry your crocodile tears over spending so much on the military.

You ignored my statement being that government can not spend more than it brings in without further debt. Btw, Ron Paul didn't even argue to cut spending, but to FREEZE spending. None of the other potus candidates have that platform agenda.

Falling back on the racist card does not apply.

The "Ron Paul is insane because Paultard" Alinsky stance is what fails the test of logic.

I'd have rather had President Fred Thompson. But that wasn't in the cards. As far as our present predicaments are concerned, none of the PC candidates are going to change a damned thing in favor of constitutional governance against the tide of authoritarianism.

I'll check back later.

205 Looks like Fox  wants to highlight T-Paw going after Bachmann and Newt.  With a throwin for their guy Mitt

Turned to CNN and puked while they talked about "submitting to your husband"

So was that from last night's debate?  Is that how Cain got on the Mormon kick?

It's from a question that Byron York posed to Michelle Bachman.  I had to take the poopies out and I missed it but when I came back, everyone on the thread was talking about it.

Here's York asking the question:  http://tinyurl.com/3esteg5

208 Did anyone ask Mitt about Romneycare?

209 Or gun control or taxes or anything remotely conservative?

210 @dagny, No worries. Happens to the best of us.

211 Lucky Perry wasn't at the debate because there would have been a lot of dissappointed morons.

212 Video of the debate is here in 3 parts.

213

In my state, MI, Dems helped elect the most Liberal republican that was on the ballot.  The Dems knew that after Granholm clobbered our economy, a Republican was a shoe-in.  So, we got Governor Snyder. 

I really believe that is what is happening on the federal level: Dems (including MSM) know that Obama is done in 2012, so they want a RINO.  It would just kill them to see Perry/Rubio in the WH.

214 "Confidence among U.S. consumers plunged in August to the lowest level since May 1980, adding to concern that weak employment gains and volatility in the stock market will prompt households to retrench."

I said I was sorry. I misread. She was gracious. You, not so much, bitch.

218 Did I hear Rush correctly?  The MBM is claiming the rioters in London are tea party people?

219 And don't forget the IBM PC XT that had a 10 MEGABYTE hard drive!!!!111!!! (a mere 5000usd for you) Hard drives in those days (1982) were 2000usd and up

An unheard of amount of nonvolatile RAM for those days.

Now 10 gigabytes are about 9 bucks and fit in a flash drive the size of postage stamp.
