Re: The 2012 Presidential Election Part I - The guns of August
I see Chris Christie's been tabbed as keynote speaker, while Rubio will introduce Romney.
Will Romney use a powerpoint slide show during his acceptance speech? I wonder what the odds are on that??
It almost looks like the Republicans are trying to turn the campaign into a stand-up comedy road show...Christie as keynote speaker, Romney and Ryan a sort of Penn and Teller / Abbott and Costello hybrid...."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Re: The 2012 Presidential Election Part I - The guns of August
What's the over/under on when the Obama campaign tucks Joe Biden away in some safe place so he doesn't make too many major gaffs late in the campaign?
Just saw the quote from Biden about how he'd trade being vice president for winning the Daytona 500 in a heartbeat. Good thing for Biden he's only got one debate with Ryan.Originally posted by PricelessGood to see you're so reasonable.Originally posted by ScoobyDooVery well, said.Originally posted by RoverA fair assessment Bob.

I'd rather watch Ryan debate Obama. Consensus was that Ryan won their first debate, can't remember if it was '09 or '10."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Joe Biden... he used to be a vice president, right? It's vaguely familiar.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Re: The 2012 Presidential Election Part I - The guns of August
From a member of that flaming liberal Ronald Reagan's cabinet:
Former Reagan budget director David Stockman rips the budget proposed by Rep. Paul Ryan:
"The Ryan Plan boils down to a fetish for cutting the top marginal income-tax rate for 'job creators' -- i.e. the superwealthy -- to 25 percent and paying for it with an as-yet-undisclosed plan to broaden the tax base. Of the $1 trillion in so-called tax expenditures that the plan would attack, the vast majority would come from slashing popular tax breaks for employer-provided health insurance, mortgage interest, 401(k) accounts, state and local taxes, charitable giving and the like, not to mention low rates on capital gains and dividends. The crony capitalists of K Street already own more than enough Republican votes to stop that train before it leaves the station."
"In short, Mr. Ryan's plan is devoid of credible math or hard policy choices. "Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin
Ever notice how everybody who drives slower than you is an idiot, and everybody who drives faster is a maniac? - George Carlin
"I've never seen so much reason and bullsh*t contained in ONE MAN."

I guess it was yesterday when John Sununu was giving Soledad Obrien a hard time about reading Dem talking points and repeating them verbatim . Apparently this article came out after their interview, turns out its true. What a hoot

There is NO way you can cut the top marginal rate to 25% and pay for it by closing loopholes. And, he never defined the loopholes.
It's folly.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.
