2016 Presidential Campaign

I am curious though as to when the meek and downtrodden going to realize they still are not better off due to on and off Democrat control of the White House and alternating control of the Senate and House over the last couple of decades.  The Democrat party is no more interested in the plight of the underclasses than the Republicans are.

NPR discussed that this morning - one of the particular items was job creation - since that seems to be the "big thing" for Republicans.  Job creation under Democrats is double that of Republican administrations.  ( On Point)

Subsidization always leads to expansion.  Any party, who's platform includes subsidization as a remedy for poverty, will only be effective in producing more poverty.

The promise of subsidy is only effective in buying votes, not buying bread.

The same goes for other social issues.  Last week Biden said he wanted to make community college free, and that sounds exciting.  The issue is that when you make something free, you ultimately destroy its value and quality.  Currently, an associates degree from a community college is representative of an individual who has not only cultivated targeted job skills, but done so by making an investment (personal sacrifice) in her/his future.  To an employer, this has value.  Remove the sacrifice and an associates degree will be no more valuable to an employer than a high-school degree.  Because, under Biden's plan, the Community Colleges will no longer be required to compete on value and price, they will have no incentive to innovate and develop their product.

The important result though, is an effective purchase of votes for the politician involved.

Or very many other things....


Townsend, you don't wanna know!  Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he.  From Kazad-Dum....

Cain was immediately branded a racist, who engaged in slave labor.  As he neared the primary, he was far worse.

If he makes the mistake and runs, Carson will be kin to a modern Hitler by primary season.  All of the might of the liberal media is bent on proving that unicorns are make believe.

And the count down begins........

Carson demanded another "wave election" this cycle, not of Republicans (who already control both chambers of Congress), but rather to elect "people with common sense who actually love our nation, and are willing to work for our nation, and are more concerned about the next generation than the next election."

That leaves him out then...

Isn't this the same guy that said prison rape proves that homosexuality is a choice?

Isn't this guy a neurosurgeon?

Maybe he's been self-experimenting?

It just keeps getting better every day....  the clown show just keeps on rolling!!

Carly Fiorina is now running for President.  The CEO who ran Hewlett Packard into the ground !!   Bill and Dave just gotta be soooo proud - she can do to the country what she did to their company!!  Can hardly wait....

Total random fringe figure.  You have to wonder what she hopes to gain. No chance of nomination nor running mate position, so what does she expect to add to the platform?  Isn't that the point when you know you have no chance in Hell of winning, you just want to help form the platform?

Or, again, maybe she suffers from a narcissistic disorder and wants to be able to frame a "Florina For President" sign to be hung in the back of her garage...or in her dining room.  You know, standard Sara Palin stuff.

I get the impression she's another one percent elitist like Trump or Romney, and that having that much wealth makes her a better candidate - in her own estimation.
