Mitt Romneycare, enemy of capitalism

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Mitt Romneycare tells us:

In the general election I’ll be pointing out that the president took the reins at General Motors and Chrysler – closed factories, closed dealerships laid off thousands and thousands of workers – he did it to try to save the business.

Now that is an unusual strategy for winning elections. (more…)

Paul leading in Iowa

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

As the last non leftist still standing, Paul is now leading in Iowa, the first actual vote of the Republican nomination.

Paul twenty three percent, Mitt Romney twenty percent, Gingrich fourteen percent, ten percent or less for all the rest. (more…)

All Republican nominees extreme left by 1996 standards.

The left singularity:

There is Governor Romneycare, who created the original of which Obamacare is a copy.

There is Governor Perry, a man who fully supports underclassing and the suppression of Christianity by state power combined with state sponsorship of alternatives to Christianity such as Islam.

There Newt Gingrinch, who talks like a right winger, but is an entryist. (more…)

Herman Cain charged with making a woman feel bad about herself

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011

And if a woman says whatever it is that she is saying (not that anyone is telling us what she is saying) the man must be guilty, right? (more…)

Government hires protestors to demand more government

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Powerline found an interesting job advertisement in Craigslist:

Under the job category “new york craigslist > brooklyn > jobs > government jobs”, people looking for a government job are invited to: “ FIGHT TO HOLD WALL STREET ACCOUNTABLE NOW! MAKE A DIFFERENCE! GET PAID!

I knew they were getting paid to protest, but until now there was some deniability – students were being turned out to protest by their professors, employees of government unions were being turned out to protest by their union bosses, ngo employees were being turned out by ngo bosses, rather than a flat out overt offer to get paid to show up and protest.

“hundreds of protestors”

Monday, September 19th, 2011

ABC news tell us that “hundreds of protestors” showed up to occupy Wall Street, yet their photo shows only nineteen, count them, nineteen protestors, twenty one if we suppose the two well dressed men mingling with police are also protestors, twenty two if we suppose the guy in the distance is also a protestor.

Crony Capitalism

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Palin’s brilliant speech on Crony Capitalism seemed to go right over the heads of most of the voters, but the party faithful understood it, and now this talking point is being used to hammer Obama at every opportunity.

After it has been repeated one thousand times, the voters might well get it. (more…)

Obama’s Day of Rage

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

A Day of Rage has been declared for this coming Saturday by an obscure leftist group, one sufficiently obscure that anything bad that happens can be blamed on it. (more…)

Perry not the establishment candidate

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

In a previous post, I remarked that with Governor  Romneycare dead on arrival, Perry was now the establishment candidate.  Seems I was wrong.  Looks like the establishment still has a hard on for Governor Romneycare.

If Governor Perry (welfare for Mexicans, underclass is the new normal) is the anti establishment candidate we are doomed, though perhaps doom will come a little slower than with governor Romneycare.

Sarah Palin’s speech

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Sarah Palin has issued a typically brilliant and insightful speech, while still teasing on the issue of whether she is going to run. I think at this stage, getting a bit late to run, better carry on in her lucrative career as a public intellectual, saying the things officially accredited public intellectuals cannot say. (more…)
