Friday, woooooooo!

Rick Santorum would really like for 2016 to be his "turn" as the GOP candidate.

For funsies, Chris Jacobs for Heritage smacks around Ezra Klein for his silly little protestations that Obamacare isn't raising the price of health insurance.

Philip Klein also has a must-read column on Obamacare rate shock, that I summarize: "Obamacare is a wealth transfer from the young (who haven't had time to accumulate much wealth) to the old (who have)."

If you think the first step of the Gang of 8 bill -- legalization of aliens already present -- is "amnesty," then hold on to your pants, because Sen. Ted Cruz supports "amnesty." "If this amendment is adopted to the current bill, the effect would be that those 11 million under this current bill would still be eligible for RPI [registered provisional immigrant] status. They would still be eligible for legal status. And indeed under the terms of the bill they would be eligible for LPR [lawful permanent resident] status, as well, so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their objective."

Finally, with respect to the NSA scandals, the Guardian has finally joined WaPo and admitted that its original reporting on the scope of PRISM was flawed. To read the grudging, passive-aggressive admission, though, you'd have to make it all the way to the 18th paragraph here.

Have a great weekend.

15 So where exactly are the illegals hiding in the shadows? I work for local government, the illegals file more bullshit complaints with us than anyone else. My office is located in the welfare building, every sign in the lobby is double printed in Spanish and there are at least as many illegals there everyday as are our homegrown crackheads.


I for one would welcome an immigration enforcement bill that would actually encourage them to go hide in the shadows. Would sure make my job a hell of a lot easier.

Hello, all.

 

 

Marlene Dietrich was a thorough professional in her career.  On sets, she was always on time, knew her lines and endured take after take without complaint.  At personal appearances, she was always “on,” perfectly mannered and dressed.  Clothes, in fact, were an integral part of her image; audiences paid to see her well dressed and Dietrich did not want to let them down.

 

 

Madame Ginette Spanier, director of a Paris fashion house, found this out the hard way.  As often as not, when Dietrich tried on a new outfit and said, “IÂ’ll take it,” the alterations had just begun.  Once, after remaking the lining of a jacket for Dietrich six times, the couturier couldnÂ’t control herself any longer.  “Miss Dietrich,” she said, “the people are going to be looking at you.  And your legs.  They are not going to notice a pleat on the right side of your bust.  And if they do, that means the film will be a flop anyway.”

 

 

“Ah,” Dietrich replied, “but if, in twenty years’ time, my daughter should supervise a reshowing of my films, she would notice the pleat and think that Mother had lost her touch.”

 

 

Madame Spanier had no answer to that.  She remade the lining a seventh time.

 

 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

22 I think people had better wake the hell up and understand something. That we are not a constitutional republic anymore. I donÂ’t know what we are. IÂ’m not saying weÂ’re the most oppressive regime on the face of the earth either, but we are not a constitutional republic anymore. When you look at the first amendment, the assault on free speech under these campaign laws, the assault on religious groups, under the first amendment. When you look at the effort to create a registry under the second amendment on guns. When you look at the fourth and fifth amendments turned on their heads, the ninth and tenth amendments, they pretend they donÂ’t even exist. We have a chief justice of the Supreme Court who twists the words of the commerce clause and the meaning of tax in order to uphold Obamacare. This is lawlessness. And at some point we need to unravel this federal government, unravel the ruling class and push power back to the states, municipalities, and the people, or weÂ’re going to get more of this.

Don't over-worry about it.  If you follow the link down to therightscoop, whoever they are, you get this from the blogger:

"Now if you happen to believe that temp legal status is amnesty, as some of you have suggested, then I guess that means Ted Cruz supports amnesty.

But thatÂ’s not what it is. It isnÂ’t amnesty. ItÂ’s temporary legal status that canÂ’t move on to permanent legal residency status without the border being secured."

So, it's a pro-amnesty supporter trying the ol' "but Reagan said this one timel" head fake.

Apologies for breaking my "no posting after a story" rule, but a question was asked:    Was this the daughter she forced to share a bedroom with a big old dyke who raped her?

 

Yes,   Maria  Riva.  As well as the rape, Dietrich hired a lesbian nanny who also tried to seduce her.  Riva, in her memoir  Marlene Dietrich,  believes her mother was trying to turn her into a lesbian, so she would never have to share Riva's love with another man.  This is also the same daughter whom Dietrich forced to be fit with a diaphragm before traveling to Germany after the war.

 

Back to radio silence.

When you speak in vague terms and throw out every make and manner of red meat to your followers, you will get some right.  Beck is just like Rush.  He spouts off about lots and lots of things, primarily to hear himself speak.  He says things that he knows his followers will agree with, so they praise him as a genius and prophet.  No one will ever convince me that I need to listen to one, single thing he has to say.

Sen. Ted Cruz introduced an amendment to the current immigration bill back in May that would have removed the path to citizenship from the bill completely.

 

The very first line of the article linked.  This is like when Gabe wanted to claim that major GOP donors were going to start pushing for gay marriage and his proof was a PAC that was created to push gay marriage.

 

Because you know pointing out that every single one of Cruz's amendments was rejected by the Gang of 8 might not allow you to arrive at the "correct" conclusion.

67 Beck gets some things right but he is so ADHD he can't really put together any sort of coherent line of thinking.  One minute he's talking about the evil of the government which is crushing all resistance, the next he's in that low voice mode, almost crying, talking about love overcoming, and then it's a commercial for Gold Line. 

I get the impression he has done a great job of surrounding himself with extremely talented people who implement his idea of the moment.  When he is on the radio though, you see his "I can string more than two thoughts together," mode that they can't cover up.

81 Good morning!

Beck has some good researchers,  I will give him that.  However,  he likes to be the center of attention and is prone to the very unattractive trait of mail jealousy.

Hence his constant snark about Palin while on Fox,  and his unreasonably virulent dislike of George Bush (WAY early in his term).  

The politics of envy also exists in the media.  I don't like him, either.  In fact,  I tried his subscription channel for one week,  until he featured an un-funny comeian who did nothing but insult Palin.   So I cancelled.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer muscled her way to victory in her crusade for Medicaid expansion Thursday, outmaneuvering conservative opposition to push through a key piece of President Barack ObamaÂ’s agenda.

Over the objection of Republican legislative leaders, a coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats sent Brewer a bill on Thursday, extending Medicaid to an estimated 300,000 low-income uninsured Arizonans, transforming the state into the unlikeliest of Obamacare allies at a critical time for the White House.

Neither Rush nor Beck do a single thing to help advance conservatism.  Everything they do is about them.  Every time they say or do something stupid, it gives people another excuse to think conservatives are idiots and out of step with America.  They are the televangelists of the conservative movement.  They may be sincere in their beliefs, but their antics not only discredit their messages but ours as well.

Look at Rush's drug problem.  It really makes you look foolish to preach about how the Left is destroying America's morals while mixing Oxy with your Cheerios.  Not only was Rush a hypocrite in people's minds so was every other conservative.  We have enough fools in Congress making us look bad.  We don't need fools with microphones doing the same thing on a wider scale.

134 In this long interview Steve Gibson discusses PRISM.

http://twit.tv/show/security-now/408

He's is saying PRISM is a NSA tap in the fiber optic trunks immediately upstream from the where it enters the company in question.

The NSA is copying the data going to the company involved by splitting the optic stream (light), thus the term PRISM.

Gibson says the companies probably don't know it's being done.

That is also what Snowden said the other day in his interview with the South China Morning Post, they tap into thebackbones:

<i>"We hack network backbones - like huge internet routers, basically - that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one," Mr Snowden said.</i>

http://tinyurl.com/msoz5la

I think the phrase "direct access to servers" is the point that's causing confusion. I not sure if Snowden said that or if that what was on the NSA powerpoint that was published.

The bottom line is if they have the data via the tap it doesn't make any difference if they have access to the 'server'.

I am probably wrong but I think it's for both democrats and republican candidates. The other thing that pisses me off is that anyone can caucus, it should only be for dems to pick a demand republicans to pick a republican. I am stunned that Cruz is on the wrong side here. Enforce the laws as they are; we have no idea of who is crossing the border.

I'm somewhat anti-Rush because I think the internet has kind of made him obsolete but he was certainly an icon for conservatism before sites like this existed and Levin's podcasts were constantly available.  Ragging on him for his oxy addiction following having it as a prescribed drug is like lumping WW1 & 2 vets who got addicted to morphine while recovering from wounds with fucking asshole stoners who get addicted while getting high.

No, see, Snowden went to China and didn't make 200k a year. That's all that matters. I mean, who are you going to believe - two congressmen from different parties, or NSA frontmen who have demonstrably committed perjury?

The proponents of the bill objective is to get the aliens out of the shadows.

Bullshit.

Where the hell do these proponents live?  These aliens are everywhere.  Have the proponents ever been to a Wal-Mart?  To an emergency room?  A Home DePot?  A liquor store?  They are everywhere and dragging five kids behind them.  The only time they hide is when they have a car wreck, they leave the "buy here pay here" car on the road and run away because they don't have a dimes worth of insurance and more than likely have been drinking.  And the government knows where they are because they send them their food stamp cards.  They are not living in the shadows.  They even have their own personal health care lady at the hospital that steers them into her office to fill out their special papers for their free healthcare.  This is all crap.  I blame the people in this country that hire them as much as the stupid federal government for them being here in the first place.  And the proponents don't want them out of the fake shadows, they want them in our voting booths.  This is not their country and they should have NO say so who gets elected.  And if anyone wants to see them "out of the shadows" just let La Raza call a protest.

Liar. You've already proved your support for Palin is as deep as a driveway rain puddle. You love how she connects with people even if you don't like her policies. Did you not say that or was that somebody socking you?


 

Posted by: Captain Hate at June 14, 2013 07:54 AM (6EQbW)

 

I was and am a tremendous supporter of Sarah Palin, as I hope I've proven here a hundred times.  However, that doesn't mean whatever her position is on every issue I automatically adopt.

 

My support for her is based on character.  I believe she's intelligent, honest and courageous, which are the attributes I look for in elected officials.  Just as I believe her heart and head are in the right place, I also believe others are on the side of conservatives - like Rubio, Toomey, Ryan and various other targets of the purists here.

 

Palin is religious, I'm not.  Palin alerted the country as to "Death Panels", but didn't explain what her solution was.  I'm for death panels, because I recognized that they are the conservative position as opposed to milking taxpayers to provide unlimited healthcare to everyone regardless of common sense.

 

Just because I have a different approach to certain issues doesn't mean I don't support the person.  Every issue should be discussed and argued out instead of being shouted down by unthinking knee-jerk reactionaries.

168 I'm not as bothered by the fact Dems will add some voters to their roles with amnesty as I am by the continual changing of the rules to favor yet another special interest minority group. The basic premise of this republic was that we are a country based on laws, laws that apply to everyone equally and not a place where individual groups get special treatment. There is no justification for illegal aliens to get citizenship, to be rewarded for breaking one of our most basic rules. It is strictly an emotional blackmail, a tactic the Dems have mastered over the years. If we are not a nation of laws we are no longer America.

Beck is more of a carney barker than Rush, so that's why he turns me off. And to go after a guy as a hypocrite because he was hooked on painkillers after back surgery is wrong. It's a lot more common than you think. And more to the point, the left uses this argument to bash us when they themselves are defined by hypocrisy. I don't know about Beck, but Rush and Levin have led the way in being both prescient and intelligent. There's a difference between yelling "the sky is falling" all day every day and telling you who is doing what and why and how it will affect us if we don't do anything about it. Again, if you don't like them personally, hey that's your opinion and you are entitled to it. But your other arguments about them throwing red meat to the audience doesn't hold water, especially in context to what we have witnessed and lived through.

197 Since every facet of this country has been taken over by liberals/progressives, combined with the surety of amnesty, I do not see any way to return to a constitutional republic with limited government. Simply won't happen. The republic ended in 1865 when Richmond fell. It's been one long, continuous slide into a greater and greater concentration of economic power by the central government ever since. The end of voluntary membership in the Union is what facilitated Wilson's agenda of turning the banking industry over to a state-sponsored cartel, for which the income tax an integral part, followed immediately by his mass slaughter of American men in an unnecessary foreign war in Europe. FDR was a Wilson administration official. The banking cartel had just wrecked the economy, so he and his cronies naturally blamed the disaster on freedom. The Supreme Court fell during his reign, and stopped functioning as a check on the central government's economic takeover. Then Johnson implemented the FDR scheme over some more personal aspects of our lives, began the takeover of health care and eradicated the last vestiges of freedom of association. His voting schemes helped rig the electoral game for perpetual leftism. Clinton talked a good game, but Obama has actually achieved the left's goals. We now have a total surveillance state, a total lack of economic privacy, no freedom of association, and a health care system that will cease to function in short order. My recommendation to all my moron friends is to (a) stay healthy, (b) keep your children out of Obama's wars, and (c) be prepared for the kinds of things that usually happen when the tyrants stop pretending to "represent" us. We also may want to develop a private, coded communication method now, while we have time, before the tanks and SWAT teams start rolling.

The $17 trillion is the current value of the debt.  The $90-100 trillion (in reality, closer to $120 trillion) is the current-dollar value of unfunded liabilities extending out over the next 75 years.  The former can't be repudiated.  Much of the latter will be, mostly after most of the Boomers have died off.

He also opposed any bill at all at this time, which tells me he's not so much "for" amnesty as he has accepted that some kind of amnesty is likely to happen, and would rather it suck as little as possible. That's the way I've been reading his comments for the last week or so, and his actions as well.

220 There's also the point where he may just be exposing the fraud (I'm not going to go out on a limb and say that is what he's doing- but he may be) Look at the end of that statement again: "...And indeed under the terms of the bill they would be eligible for LPR [lawful permanent resident] status, as well, so that they are out of the shadows, which the proponents of this bill repeatedly point to as their objective." (emphasis mine) He knows (knew?) his amendment wasn't going to be adopted- but that part of the statement suggests to me that the point of the amendment was not to pass (though it would have been better if it had), but to point out that what the Gang of 8 wants is not "legalization" and to "get people out of the shadows," rather, the point of the Gang of 8 bill is citizenship. So, yes, I'm prepared to give Cruz a pass on this one.

No matter what, the left will scream bloody murder that even with the bill they are 2nd class citizens and SCOTUS will oblige by giving them the voting rights. If Cruz turns out to be a Rubio/Ryan, I really will be finished with all of it. He really is the absolute last chance with me for the GOP. After that, go to hell.

Basically, it's another way of trying to turn the argument from why amnesty is bad, and why we might be a little bit vexed at someone who is stabbing us in the back over it with a cry of "purity brigade!"

Let me preface this by saying I am not insulting anyone.


There is a saying I once read that can apply in this situations:  "Just because someone agrees with you doesn't make you right.  It just means there's someone else out there as stupid as you."


There is a phenomenon related to human behavior that has been studied and discussed by learned people.  If you believe in someone, you will tend to remember when they are right and forget when they are wrong.  This happens to people of all shapes and sizes and beliefs.  We build a mound of evidence to support them and ignore evidence to the contrary.  That's how people can remember that Beck is right all the time and forget the times he was wrong.  It happens.  Think about how we can't understand how people can faithfully tune in to MSNBC when we know how wrong they are.  Those people can ignore the times MSNBC is wrong and focus on the times they believe them to be right.  They think the same thing about FoxNews and its viewers.  It's not right or wrong; it's just human nature.

High unemployment (what do you think adding 11+ million people to the labor pool would do?) makes it easier to offer lower wages for unskilled jobs. As unemployment shrinks, wages go up.

He spouts off about lots and lots of things, primarily to hear himself speak. He says things that he knows his followers will agree with, so they praise him as a genius and prophet. No one will ever convince me that I need to listen to one, single thing he has to say. You forgot: "BUY GOLD!!" This part of Beck irks me the most. He goes on these 'prophetic' rants about the collapse, and "Now, A Word From Our Sponsor..." I'm not saying it can't, or won't happen. It just seems low-rent to be cashing in on DOOM.

Beck's a lot more leading edge, so he winds up taking it to the face more often, and, yeah, a lot of people don't like his style-- I'll tune out at times, too. I listen to Dana Loesch's show much of the time, but she's also local and hits on stuff in our context. Hannity's one virtue is to take one single thing and beat it to fucking death over and over and over. That gets old fassst.

I agree with you. Seems to me to be a lot of word parsing and clutching at straws going on.

I looked a as GS job overseas a few years ago. c. 65K salary, but when I added up HOLA, exrtra curricular, etc it would have been over 100K. 200k after benefits and overtime, especially considering IT, isn't a stretch.<p>

The no SF claim is parsing, too, AFAIK. If he was an 18X enlistment (X is x-ray in the NATO alphabet, but some people think it meant he wnated to be a x-ray technician), then he got to try out for SF, no guarantees. He got hurt somewere before he qualified through, but he definitely could have enlisted 18X. He could have tested through to waive the GED or been allowed to take course work after the fact, so I don't think that isn't as big an issue as some are making it out to be.

Parsing and wordsmithing about the messenger.

But saying Rush has no moral authority or gravitas because he got accidentally hooked on Oxy 20 fucking years ago is just stupid. And to compare MSLSD to conservative pundits just pulls the mask off. The former are lying propagandists, the former have been proven right about virtually everything they have said. At this stage you are just spouting psycho babble that is inchoate and incoherent.

302 I was on the 110 in downtown LA during rush hour when I was rear ended. The woman said it wasn't her fault that the car behind her ran into her. Neither driver would show me their CDL or proof of insurance because they said it was not their fault. Both were mexican and I knew they had to be illegals and did not have insurance or a license to drive. I refused to move my car out of the lane until the cops got there because that way they couldn't drive off. But that is the type of shit you have to put up with here. The state also hides the statistics but if you go into any courthouse in LA County (and we have over a 100 of them) it's all wall to wall spanish speaking defendants. They cause a huge drain on the taxpayer and only benefit the rich who want cheap nannies and gardeners and business.

320 But with minimum wage floor, and all the other costs a legal employee incurs vice an illegal one; I'm not sure that math works. Esp. at the low end of the scale. Think this through. What happened after the '86 Amnesty? All of those illegals suddenly weren't, and moved into the legal labor pool- meaning minimum wage, overtime, etc. BUT a whole lot more illegals poured over the border. Some of them where hoping to be amnesty'd, too. Others just knew that, now, they would be the illegals able to make $10/hr and still be cheaper than hiring someone legal at minimum wage. (Well, okay, maybe $7/hr back in '86). So, for the ones who've thought it through, I'm betting that they're expecting history to repeat. Which gives them two benefits. 1- It means that they don't have to offer more than minimum wage to people who are legal. As unemployment goes down, wages go up- even at the low end. And then it's not just wages, but all the required benefits, insurance, compliance, etc. 2- It means they'll still have a hefty pool of illegal labor which they can pay nominally more than minimum, but still come out ahead because they won't have to pay benefits, overtime, or anything like that.

367 Having spent last evening talking with the lefties in my family, I can only say that the epistemic closure issue is now being compounded be full-sail defensiveness.

Give me a side by side comparison of the reportage of a putative news network like MSNBC and that of Rush or Beck and tell me which one has the accuracy and credibility problem. I don't follow the conservative pundits because they are telling me what I want to hear; I follow them because what they are telling me has turned out to be the fucking gospel truth almost 99.9999% of the time.

The idea of America is that it would be the first country based on laws, laws under which all men would be equal, and not a nation of men as had been the case throughout history. This is what made us different and made us great. We are regressing into a nation of men where some men are more equal than others. This road leads to only one place, totalitarianism and the end of liberty and freedom. Look around. We are now living in a surveillance state where laws are routinely ignored for the sake of a few. We have an AG who is openly racist and proud of it. We have a president who operates outside the law and his Constitutional duties. We have a bureaucracy that operates by its own rules and is completely unanswerable to the people who supposedly employee them. All of this and more is happening right in front of our eyes and its not slowing down, its accelerating. If we aren't first and foremost a nation of laws then we get things like amnesty because there is no law. There are only men. And America ceases to be America.

I've given up hope we'll avoid amnesty in any shape or form.

As I've said repeatedly, we're a country ruled by emotion (which is how the Dims hold the senate and the White House.)

Emotion says "you can't deport Grandma!" (even though it's nothing like that, but hey, emotion!)

So any bill that doesn't include some form of amnesty is going to get howled at by the emotion driven LIVs.

It's sad, it really is.

Posted by: tsrblke at June 14, 2013 05:28 AM (GaqMa)

437 Cruz is ultimately for amnesty, if you believe the link. Amnesty != naturalization. Amnesty simply means allowing the people already here to live here. At least that's what I thought it meant. I think Cruz has accepted amnesty, rather than being for it (if you see the difference). But one thing that Gang of 8 supporters are trying to do is conflate amnesty with naturalization, which our lazy use of the language allows. From what I've see, the Morons (and Ettes) mostly oppose the Go8 plan based on three things: 1) Border security. We want that done first, before we even talk about the people who are already here. 2) Citizenship. It's one thing to say, "Okay, you can stay" and another to say, "Here's your Social Security card. Can I help you register to vote?" 3) Economics. We're not talking high-skilled workers here. We're talking about people who are already on Medicaid and food-stamps in many cases (and will promptly apply in the rest). We're talking people without health insurance and without resources to pay their own medical bills. In essence, we're talking about people who will simultaneously depress wages while increasing the drain on our systems. Now, the problem with amnesty (defined as anything less than deport when found) is that it is a necessary first step to citizenship. Everyone understands that. Cruz opposed this bill while it was still in committee (I don't think he's actually on the committee, though, so his opposition didn't mean anything). When it passed out of committee he opposed it being open for debate. He has tried to add amendments that would either actually fix some/most of Conservatives' problems with the bill, or be a "poison pill" to kill it (sometimes both). He says he will oppose cloture. What that tells me is that his priorities are right- There's no reason for this bill at this time. Let's fix border security first, then come back to this discussion. So, yes, he "supports" an amnesty. I do not think he would even be talking about it right now, but Rubio decided to join McLame and Grahamnesty, and that kind of forced his hand.

439 434 So we're all agreed then. The GOP should push for a return of the Fairness Doctrine so conservatives will stop losing votes from talk radio turning off the voting public and raising subjects that are best left alone. We do have a quorum here this morning, right? Posted by: andycanuck at June 14, 2013 09:27 AM (9+vDU) Zombie John Gotti is all over it.

441 417 Aren't Cruz and Rand saying basically the same thing with Rand seeking proof that the border has been secured?

Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at June 14, 2013 09:23 AM (DPdf7)

 

If you check the article at 104 Cruz was also seeking tangible border security 3 years before anything gets done about the illegals.  That amendment was of course voted down by cocksuckers like Rubio.

443 Nope, I drive a Toyota Camry. Because f*ck the government and their ginned-up recalls, that's why (or, you know, it's what I could afford and had good enough gas mileage not to bankrupt me going back and forth to work. But I like the first reason instead).

An autocracy. Get into the right colleges, mouth the right platitudes, don't make no waves, don't back no losers, and you can be a member of the patrician caste. Forget this "rule of law" nonsense: what matters now is who you are and who you know.

As for us plebes, our "betters" are importing a new working class - one that will work for less, vote as they're told, and STFU.

Obama Admin Considers Resettling Thousands of Syrian Refugees in U.S.

Breitbart: http://tiny.cc/ls7nyw

 

The Obama administration is considering resettling thousands of refugees who left Syria during the country's ongoing civil war to multiple towns and cities across the United States, the L.A. Times reports.

 

A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families.

 

The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure.

 

The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement. California has historically taken the largest share, but Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are also popular destinations...

 

Sure, why not?  Why do we even bother pretending to have any kind of immigration law at all?  

 

You know what?  If the gubmint were smart they'd say "No," and then work out a deal with mexico to take our "share" of the refugees.   Then they could just ship them over the border   to be legalized via amnesty!   Tada!

He says the sex was consensual and then they argued over the quality of sex. Right, this poor woman had a broken jaw and 6 stab wounds.

@ 70 jwest - "It's pretty obvious that Cruz reads the comments at AoSHQ. He was probably against legalization at first, but after reading my comments he changed his mind."

 

 

Give Ted Cruz more credit than that.  He's not a weak-minded idiot, after all.

<i>Santorum needs to STFU and go back to wherever dipshit Howdie Doody candidates go once their quixotic runs come to their inevitable demise. Who in their right mind would consider that fuckhead as President when they're not trying to forstall some squish like Romney? And take Jebby with you.</i>

 

Frankly, Santorum has a point, reading the linked article. We need someone who can articulate supply-side economics for the working classes.
