Hope and Chance in your mailbox

Posted By Dave Snope
They can't stay solvent even though they have a monopoly on their service and they get continual giant bail-outs over the years.

Who was it who said "If the U.S. government bought the Sahara Desert, in a few years there would be a shortage of sand"? The USPS is living proof of that. Time to disband. All I'd miss is the ability to send postcards while on vacation.

P.S. Shouldn't Obama disband them to reduce carbon emissions and stop global warming?

Fixing Health Insurance - One Step Program

Posted By Dave Snope
OK. By that argument, we should also prevent the auto insurers from charging higher rates to teen drivers. Or the homeowner's insurers from charging higher rates if you live in a wildfire zone.

Pretty soon, you can't call it insurance any more. It just becomes another social safety net.

Oil/Gas Prices Falling: Blame Bachmann?

Posted By Dave Snope
You're having some fun waaaaay overthinking this one and flailing at logic to make specious connections.

There is just one way to get oil back to $2/gal. A continued global economic recession that reduces demand. To the extent that politicians can influence the recession, they can have a small influence on oil prices. The rest is just strawman.

Reagan's Adviser Sums Up Perry

Posted By Dave Snope
Rod, are going to take a shot at every R candidate in the field?

It's really very easy work, just keep linking stories in cnn, ny times, newsweek,...It is kind of entertaining watching them race each other to make flailing attacks on each R candidate as they rotate to the forefront of the media's eye. Watch them do it if Ryan announces. They're probably sorting through images of him right now, trying to find one of him gaping at a hotdog.

You are very interested in these candidates. Are you providing a service to help thin the field for the R voters? Maybe you could cut to the chase and tell everyone which is the best candidate.

2013 President Poll

Posted By Dave Snope
The clear favorites are the two Ken Dolls. I guess the edge goes to Romney but it looks like Perry has early momentum.

My favorites don't stand a chance, as is always the case. I'd fork out the $ for a surround sound system if I could hear Thaddeus McCotter speaches for 8 years. The guy sounds like Lincoln and is on a higher plain of intellect than any other candidate.

And I've admired Herman Cain's accomplishment's in business for a long time. Probably about 1995 when I first started following business closely. Herman became a legend when he quit his job as VP of Pillsbury because he couldn't move up, and entered the Burger King training program and cleaned restroom and flipped burgers, eventually taking over the region and becoming CEO of Godfather's Pizza. If that doesn't make him the antithesis of Obama, it'll do until the antithesis gets here.

Huntsman Goes Head Hunting

Posted By Dave Snope
It's entertaining to watch the DNC set the tone and watch the MSM and democratic followers fall in line.

The Democratic National Committee just blasted out a greatest-hits reel from Huntsman's Sunday show appearance, wherein the former Utah governor criticized Rick Perry for being anti-science, Michele Bachmann for being unserious about the economy and Mitt Romney for being a flip-flopper.
Continue Reading


The DNC subject line: "Don't take our word for it ..." A sample of the offerings:


JON HUNTSMAN ON HIS REPUBLICAN RIVALS

Huntsman Said The Rest Of The GOP Field Had “Zero Substance” And Were “Too Far To The Right.” Huntsman on ABC’s This Week: “We have people on the Republican side too far to the right. We have zero substance. We have no good ideas that are being circulated or talking about that allow the country to get back on its feet economically so we begin creating jobs.” [ABC News – This Week, 8/21/11]

Huntsman Said He Would Not Trust His Opponents With The Economy Because They Would Have Allowed The Country To Default. When asked by Jake Tapper, “Would you trust a President Bachmann to do the right thing with the economy?” Huntsman replied, “I wouldn't necessarily trust any of my opponents who are on the recent debate stage with me when every single one of them would have allowed this country to default.” [ABC News – This Week, 8/21/11]

...blah blah blah don't pay attention to Obama on the 8th hole..

It's All About The Big O

Posted By Dave Snope
But the NYT's exalted Thomas Friedman is still clinging to the spectre of the Big O:

"He's not Jimmy Carter. He's Tiger Woods - a natural who has lost hist swing. He has so many different swing thoughts in his head, so many people whispering in his ear about what the polls say..."

That's really funny on so many levels.

You neglected to remind us that this investigation began under Bush. It's all on Bush.

You're welcome.
