Excellent, gcotharn.

Romney will be Bloomberg on a national scale.

Assuming he wins, that is, and I don’t believe he will.

Romney is not going to destroy Obamacare. A Romney Presidency will mean Obamacare’s claws become deeply sunk into America. Romney believes he can manage Obamacare into a state of excellence – that is who Romney is: a politician who believes citizens need him to manage us; a fixer who believes in his own skills. He doesn’t think we need more liberty: he thinks we need more Romney. Romney’s frequent protestation, that he will take action against Obamacare on Day 1, is careful language which commits Romney to nothing of significance, yet which is delivered with dramatic apparent sincerity. And that, also, is who Romney is: a phony.

Pat Dooley: correct.
She did a poor job of articulating this and Greta did not help.
She was comparing Obamacare with what Mitt would do as President. She should change the name to something like Mitt 10th Amendment Care.

“If I am Chicken Little, I argue against Ostriches.”

Cassandra has never been popular.

“When the government is keeping a large part of the population afloat (unemployment insurance, food stamps, Social Security, disability payments, rent subsidies, student loans, Medicaid, government jobs, etc., a sudden reduction of support can be very dangerous. In some European countries just proposing cuts has led to violence.”

The sovereign debt bubble is going to burst. It will start in the EU zone and once the first bubble ipops it will not be contained. It will spread around the globe and all the central banks will not put Humpty together again. We Americans are blowing up the biggest sovereign debt bubble in all of history, and that’s after accounting for inflation. Those of you who live in urban areas should prepare for an explosion of violence from the OWS types and agents provocateur.

“The record sales of guns and gold suggests something is amiss.”

That is putting it mildly.

Hmm, some of my posts are not making it to the mothership. I checked Gateway Pundit’s sourcing and found he was confusing Romneycare with Romney’s proposed solution, a reasonable GOP alternative. I’ll see if this gets though before expanding on my response.

My latest eMail update from WaPo: Gingrich’s wife supported him through college and grad school, and he also asked his father for help because he didn’t want to have to work.

Also: Cain is endorsing Gingrich. I guess he is impressed with his promise to move our embassy to Jerusalem on day 1 of his reign.

davisbr…Slixdexia is doog. Which state did you flee to from, I take it, Wackoworld Calif?

Pat Dooley…’Fraid I must plead semi-guilty to not being a blog junkie. Thanks for the Gateway link which I read and don’t buy. I like Pam Bondi very much. Tough, conservative, bright as hell and put a long line of human sewage in Raiford, Starke and Florida Death Row while doing her prosecuter job in Tampa. I didn’t ‘get’ that what they are talking about is National(as in Obama)Health Care.

The supporter was Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General. She has been featured in some of Romney's radio ads. If she misspoke, the Romney camp would have asked her to retract her statement. I didn't say Romney lies every time he opens his mouth. He has been pretty open about extolling the virtues of Romneycare. That's the problem. I don't trust him to have the drive to repeal Obamacare. It is going to be hard enough to repeal, especially if Scotus rules it constitutional. The Dems will still have enough votes to block repeal in the Senate. He

Pat Dooley: that's your evidence? A Romney supporter says it, so it must be true? Look, if you think Mitt's lying every time he opens his mouth, then don't vote for him. But don't rely on garbage stuff like "a supporter says it, so it must be true!"

The record sales of guns and gold suggests something is amiss.

A problem we did not have fifty years ago is the feeding bears phenomenon. The dangerous part of feeding bears is when you run out of food. Then the bear gets angry. When the government is keeping a large part of the population afloat (unemployment insurance, food stamps, Social Security, disability payments, rent subsidies, student loans, Medicaid, government jobs, etc., a sudden reduction of support can be very dangerous. In some European countries just proposing cuts has led to violence.

The coming election could be very destabilizing. Whe’ve seen what happened and is happening in Wisconsin. If Obama loses, things will heat up in the big cities.
