Math that really matters

I hope it has some practical math applications for young women in it. Such as knowing how many cups of laundry detergent to use per load, and the ability to use fractions and rational numbers to solve lifes difficult problems, such as "how much detergent would I need if 1 cup does 1 load, but I am only doing half a load?" Knowing how many teaspoons is in a tablespoon and the ability to determine how many complete vacuuming cycles per vacuum bag needed are useful as well.

You know, the important things in life.

This is a joke, right?

If Kerry won 2004, things would be better right now, because Democrats and Republicans are different.

LOLLERSKATES! ROFLCOPTER DOWN! LAWLOLOLOLOLOL!

You can't be serious. Take your blinders off. Bush v. Kerry went like this:

I am voting for:

[ ] - Blue-blooded Skull and Bones Member George Bush (any Bush will do)

[ ] - Blue-blooded Skull and Bones Member John Kerry

The Establishment thrives on useful idiocy and wedge issue bickering.

Afraid of offending their masters

The Dems should just hand the country over to King George and Queen Cheney

Don't you mean King Cheney and Queen Bush?

What are the Democrats afraid of? The only they are afraid of is offending their money masters, not the people. Right now they are just fulfilling prophecies:

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960

The Clintons - Master Politicians

Hillary Clinton and her forked tongue. Did she mention her upcoming 20/20 special with Billy Graham, the Bushes, and her hubby? Those entrenched establishments types, they truly are "different" from one another, aren't they?

I wonder if Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. came up with the idea while at Bohemian Grove or some other secret elite pervert retreat? I mean, didn't you know that Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton are BFFs now that they don't have to pretend that they are on different teams? Bush and Clinton even go golfing together, in fact, that is probably where George and Bill talk about the good ol' days of smuggling drugs for the CIA.

All Hillary "Goldwater Girl" Clinton cares about is power. She will tell you whatever you want to hear as long as she gets the nod. Just don't expect her to give up any of these newfound executive powers, or for her to diminish the role of the (police) state in the lives of ordinary Americans or get rid of unnecessary Departments like DHS. Expect her to take what the foundations that the neocons have laid and build upon it. In fact, I imagine she will find a new way to sugarcoat her words so that the Establishment's warmongering are carried on the wings of a dove. More "spreading democracy abroad" and leaving out the "from the air with bombs" part, just like Bush.

Dems and Republicans are cut from the same cloth

[quote]Remember that the Republicans are for Party first, country second.[/quote]And the Dems aren't? What makes them so different?

Republican politicians and Democratic politicians are different? Yeah, right. Bluebloods all cut from the same cloth. Keep on telling yourself otherwise though, the power elite love useful idiots. Just don't be shocked when a Dem gets the nod saying one thing but in the end turns out being just like Bush (i.e. business as usual). The elites pay for the presidency and their needs (i.e. Our National Interests) trump the needs of "We the People".

Both sides are power first, party second, people last.

Politicians doing one thing then saying another?

A politician promising one thing then delivering another. Say it ain't so!

Go figure. And here I thought only the neocons duped their base in order to get elected.

Once Again...

Ron Paul kicked their asses. When asked how they would restore the office of the President, all the candidates blathered on about things like "hope", then here comes Paul, talking about this thing called "transparency" in Government, and then he starts railing into Cheney regarding secrecy. Paul also said that he would never withhold information from Congress and was the only won to state that the general consensus in Washington is that Cheney and his neocon minions are more powerful than the President, which is obviously why that question was asked.

And notice how they are now trying to pigeonhole Paul as antiwar and that's it, completely skipping him regarding the FairTax question. I imagine the last thing they want regarding taxes is to give the floor to someone with Paul's views on the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, and spending/taxation in general. Paul makes guys like Greenspan and Bernanke sweat and squirm in their seats, he would have tooled Huckabee and the rest of the FairTax gang, like he did with the Iowa Tax Forum and the other debates, and he has been making the Fed look stupid for years.

Giuliani and social networking

Giuliani is really into this social networking thing. In fact, he is into it so much that his MySpace Impact 2008 profile is set to private.

http://www.myspace.com/joinrudy2008

He oozes secrecy filth. Social networking and transparency are not for Establishment men like the Rudester.

They are scared

They are scared of Ron Paul making them look foolish, and Romney is probably already nervous enough about the Iowa Straw Poll to worry about this too. Methinks that they are waiting to see how the upcoming debates/straw poll play out. I imagine the last thing they want is to go against Paul in the YouTube debate if Paul does well in the straw poll, a venue in which Giuliani and McCain are not even trying to compete in.

Paul owns YouTube and they know it. If Paul's online support doesn't influence the straw poll I bet the Republicans get braver and more "serious" about the CNN Debate.

I imagine Giuliani doesn't want to give the Firemen an opportunity to take a shot at him either.
