The media are so afraid of the new conservative inquisition that they avoid criticizing Republicans for anything. The media won’t point out that the Republicans are blocking everything and refuse to compromise in any way.

The majority of people just give up on politics and try to get on with their lives.

“I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.”

Sounds totally correct to me. Especially when one listen’s to any one of the Conservative leaders (and commentators) speak. 😉 I see some commentators (many supposedly non-conservative) are trying to give some of them an out by opining that they may have some form of dyslexia (which is curable). Sorry, but I agree with Mill… They are quite simply completely stupid. And that is incurable (except by death). Of course, that them becomes a dilemma, as the case can be made that death is too good for them! The dilemma can easily be resolved when one considers that whilst it may be too good for them, it would be exceedingly good for every one else on the planet! (in the interest of the common good, and all that). 😈

It’s always been exceptionally curious to me that American’s seem to have no problems killing, or causing the deaths of, thousands and even millions of (probable) innocents globally, but have some strange aversion to it at home, even when a case could easily be made for it. Of course, many use the excuse of *law* and even the Bible, at home. But totally disregard both when it comes to the rest of the World. There is a word for that…

I am told constantly that Conservatives are in the minority. If that is true, why are they constantly elected to cause so much pain and suffering, including to the morons that elect them? If the majority are not in fact stupid, then they must be masochists that love pain and suffering and there is some kind of *group think* that the rest of the World must suffer with them. They really are the only two options. *shrug*

Whatevah.

I’ve decided he’s just a fool. He’s really the “nowhere man”. Nobody likes him. Most Dem voters realize now he’s a neocon wannbe and hypocrite, and the neocon’s can’t stand him for a whole lot of reasons, even though he’s on their side!I guess that’s what people would call a *loser*.

Actually, if you look at his voting record as a state senator in Illinois, he has always voted as a Republican, not in accordance with his public speeches. He’s a conservative through and through, which is to be expected given that he was raised by a banker, his grandmother.

I dunno… I don’t get it. Given his experience and history, Obama should be doing a hell of a lot better than he is! It’s like… when he became Prez, he inherited some of Bushmoron’s genes or something! 😐 Crazy.

Krugman seems to think that Obama is getting bad advice, while I and others think Obama is getting the advice he wants, to do what he wants.

I won’t quote the whole post (you can click on the link above), but this is the money quote! 😉

No wonder we’re in such trouble. Obama must gravitate instinctively to people who give him bad economic advice, and who almost surely don’t share the values he was elected to promote. That’s what I’d call a structural problem.
