Senate The US Politics discussion

Because he didn't insult anyone who mattered...

 

He didn't insult the money men.

 

Palin and Trump threaten to run again...
Perry clearly thinking about running for the uh... Oops he forgot.
Just need Bachman, Ron Paul and Herman Cain and the band will be back together.

 

In answer to my own recent question: http://www.politico.com/magazine/st...ng-for-us-plutocrats-108014.html#.VMR2w1bIowQ

That about sums it up right there. This bit here is the last part of a surprisingly long essay:

 

One of the best articles that they've ever posted.

I remember reading it awhile back.

 

I already noted the rich are calling for more action and social justice. But people prefer to hate what they don't know.

 

Ender: he notes how many rich people like him disagree with what he has to say, and we can all see that he is clearly in the minority. If there were a lot more 1%ers like him, I think things would potentially be different throughout the country.

Thought this was relevant since gap in wealth gets brought up often enough.

 

Damnit Bobby, move to a red state... No problems with infrastructure in Texas, other than Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas.... Student debt is a farce, hello college is a *right* and it's free.... At least, If you're willing to take remedial high school level classes for college credits. Thank you, Obama. The guy's argument on AK-47? Wow, just ****ing wow. What a total dumb****. Do you actually watch this **** before you post it? Surely not. I noticed his left shoulder is moving fervently at least 8:00... What's up with that?

 

Walker is the only GOP candidate I'm concerned about: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...wa_freedom_summit_the_wisconsin_governor.html

The rest are hopeless. Walker is sleazy enough, and comes across to a lot of people as well-intentioned, to convince a lot of fence-sitting people to vote for him. Will be interesting to see if anything ever comes of Walker's near-indictment last year, and what the national media's best operatives uncover about him in the future.

 

Rubio isn't getting any more than the normal amount of hispanic vote that any Republican candidate would get. He's a mediocre politician and is going nowhere as a presidential candidate.

 

Yeah, I don't see the youth vote mobilizing for him either. His presence in the minds of young voters remains, and will remain for the foreseeable future, that drink of water meme. Marco Rubio water is the first result that Google Autocomplete throws up when you start typing his name in the box. He's mainly a joke for young people, not a viable candidate for the White House.

 

I can only imagine what administration officials said (and thought) when they learned from the media that Netanyahu would be speaking to a joint session of Congress. That the Israeli ambassador met with John Kerry for two hours on Tuesday and said nothing whatsoever about the impending announcement is equally unbelievable.

 

It's pretty standard for the US president to not meet with a head of government that's up for re-election soon.

 

It shows how much of an "ally" Israel is, at least under the Netanyahu government, for anyone who still hasn't picked up on it.

 

I wish someone would build an illegal settlement on top of Bibi.

 

Well that Presidencey sure is getting expensive

I wonder if there are coupons to bring that cost down.
