As for JTP, while I agree his time in the limelight is close to ending, he  did not initiate it. Obama approached him and made a stupid statement.


I didn't really hear anything stupid.  One stupid thing is to think that somebody making 40k a year is going to be able to buy out a successful business making $270k a year.  Depending on the amount of work the owner does the business is worth several million.  Unless JTP is like a son to him (and of course if he had a license) he couldn't afford the business.  Actually the taxes he is complaining about would help him buy the business in the first place.  1) he would bring home more money at his current 40k salary.  2) According to everybody that is a Republican if the guy making the 270k got taxes another 3% on the extra 20k or $600 more in taxes.  He would give up and sell his business because it just was't worth it any more.  And would decrease the value of the business so that JTP could buy it.  Then when the next Republican came in (as long as he made over 250k) he would get a tax cut.

I'm not assuming anything.  I'm forming a judgment of her based on her actions.  To me it seems like she will do anything to get a camera on her.  I may very well be wrong, it is merely my opinion.
That's because her mistaken assumption is that if she can just talk to people, they will realize the error of their ways and support her point of view. She is an idealist. One who believes we as a population are actually reasonable and can be convinced to change our minds, which is generally false. As is her assumption that making people realize the war in Iraq is a bad idea will actually end it.

And now JTP is suing those Ohio bureaucrats that dug into his background because he had the audacity to question Obama:

Probably because he's not making jack squat from his book sales.  Minute 17 is upon him.
