Did you check out their backgrounds? Or are you just assuming that they were all born rich? Romney in that clip stated he didn't grow up poor, but his Dad grew up that way. Huntsmans father made it good, his grandfather was a teacher, and his grandmother was a homemaker. Your a teacher, what do you make? What do you think a teacher made in 1937? Not really a legacy of riches. So yes even the two that came from rich parents, can and probably did hear about parents/grandparents. I know I did, I was told about my grandfather walking home with a bucket of coal daily, because they couldn't afford to have it delivered. And they were lucky, there was a family down the street who lived in a tent, they started having a house build and the depression then the war hit.
The best I can find on the rest of the candidates, they either grew up lower middle class/upper lower class. Rick Perry might be the exception to that though, his parents have been described as ranchers and/or tenant farmers. If they owned the land his parents may have been decently well off, if they were tenant farmers/ranchers probably not, but possibly.
And last but definitely not least, long time no talk. I hope you have been doing well and wish you the best in the upcoming year(and beyond).
The only thing I'm assuming is they are wanna-be gangsters and poised to loot and pillage, if only they can convince you they're trustworthy. If they can rope you in with their schtick they get the keys to the kingdom.
Things are OK. Hope you're well.

I really hope they are just bullshitting, because if they fire missiles and we have ships anywhere in the area it will get an immediate response. As soon as the missiles go airborn.

If Iran oil is embargoed, that leaves more oil for China.
"China is Iran's biggest customer, purchasing more than 500,000 barrels per day, and it is expected that China would try to wrangle a cheaper price with more Iranian oil on the market. "

OK. I see. So Iran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz in reaction to threats of sanctions, which in turn are due to a recent International Atomic Energy Agency report suggested that Iran's nuclear program was military in nature, a claim denied by Iran. Swell.
It seems to me, all eyes should be on that Atomic Energy Agency, very suspicious of its validity, and checking it thrice.
It seems to me, that unless we want to be made fools again by propaganda and half truths, we should do more than rely on a recent International Atomic Energy Agency report, and find out definitively through multiple sources, and let it takes years if that's what it takes to be sure.

It appears the MSM isn't reporting on this much. But, it is goin down.
The shit could hit the fan here on this one. Iran has to be crazy to push this.
China is stuck between a rock and a hard place. We're China's biggest trading partner. Not to mention all the money we owe them.Thanks W. And Iran supplies them with oil. For some reason, Nixon is popping into my head. After all, he was the one who opened the doors and windows to China.. Hmmmmm? Gotta keep an eye on this one.

Seriously, I'm keeping the tank topped off. I didn't need any gas.
If this does go down, it'll be over fast. Not so much for us, here. The rest of the continent needs it. It would be global.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Ya, that was my first thought. And if they don't have a military nuclear program, they sure are chosing the wrong way to convince the world of it.
Still, i think the Atomic Energy Agency report is not nearly enough to go on. Such reports have been known to be wrong, including in very recent history - bush, cheney, i'm looking in your direction.

and after W's debacle, we have no credibility now. and that's a good thing. That's probably why Iran is pushing this. On the flip side, the entire 5th Fleet is there, and probably on the highest alert right now. it's a pressure cooker. to see who blows first. not good.
There's so many facets to this. The Saudi Royal family. Israel. Iraq. China. Russia. and all the surrounding countries. not good.. bad. very bad.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
They're using the same exact formula that was used on Iraq. We'll have to see on this one. One thing that certainly biases my opinion is the war in Iraq. The 8 year Iraq/Iran war of the 1980s clearly illustrated that Iraq was a counterweight to Iran. Rumsfeld was Reagan's envoy to Iraq during this war.
So, there was no doubt in my mind that removing Saddam would remove that counterweight. Therefore, I think it was clear, back in 2003, that war with Iraq would lead to war with Iran.
My theory is corroborated in Bush's "axis of evil" speech on January 29, 2002. There was no reason to demonize Iran, even if true, since Shiite Iran was assisting us in dealing with the Sunni Taliban.
So, where are we now? We're getting a crying of wolf with Iran that mirrors the crying of wolf with Iraq. But, this is getting interesting. In Iraq, we fired the first shot. Saddam was cooperating with the weapons inspectors. If Iran fires the first shot, that's going to be a different ball game.
The wild card is China. And this illustrates the failure of free trade. Why trade with a military advisory? And China doesn't even have to deal with the matter in a military fashion. They hold enough U.S. debt to derail the dollar as a world currency at their whim.
That we did Iraq to flank Iran.think about it.
And your premise about China is spot on.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
They said it would take 6 days, or 6 weeks, but doubtful it would take 6 months.
That's Rumsfeld speech.
Saddam's army fell in the timeline. But I don't think the neocons figured on the insurgency. That cost us 1 trillion dollars.
The Republicans clearly want war with Iran, (Ron Paul excluded)
We'll see if Obama can skipper this issue without a full blown war.
One think is for sure. I don't need a Newt or Romney as an alternative to Obama. Insofar as foreign policy is concerned, only Ron Paul makes sense. If we're spending more than the rest of the world combined on defense, then we have a bunch of dumbbells formulating foreign policy, don't we?
Full. Spectrum. Dominance.
There ain't now way he'll be any better than the status quo. He'd be even worse. Picture Ron Paul as the Commander and Chief. Commander of all our military. The thought of him having the nuclear codes scares the
shit outta me.The guy is an empty suit. nuff said. Obama deployed more military to Afghanistan. Other than that, Obama has kept our activity very limited. On a very small scale. Now, before someone jumps me and puts words in my mouth, I'm not saying I agree with all or any of this. Just keeping up with what's goin on.
Because Bush fucked it up Bush ignored it. 13k troops? Don't read too much into what I'm saying here. What I am saying is that if your going to put our service people in harms way, do it right and get it over with fast. Bush didn't do that.He went off on a tirade on a country that had nothing to do with any of it.
As for Ron Paul? I can't believe people are actually believing what he's saying. As soon as his ass hit's that chair, meet the real RP.

That is false, Ron Paul just about always makes the most sense. Occasionally, it's Gary Johnson.

Absent the foreign policy difference, I don't think that Ron Paul's campaign would have any support.
While I have my own ideas about the drug war, Ron Paul's approach would definitely beat the status quo.
I do tend to vote for them. I have very few problems with any of Pauls stances.
commerce. In particular, racial discrimination in commerce.
http://www.ronpaul.com/on-the-issues/civil-ri...
"The rights of all private property owners, even those whose actions decent people find abhorrent, must be respected if we are to maintain a free society."
Basically, what that is all about is whether businesses should be able to discriminate against black and refuse to serve them, and use race as a criteria to refuse to hire blacks, among other "protected" groups.
Ron Paul believes that a business should be able to discriminate under a "freedom of assocation" rationale, and that the Supreme Court erred in ruling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 constitutional under the commerce clause.
I happen to like the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Accordingly, I'm not interested in voting for a Supreme Court nominator, a person who wants the civil rights act overturned.
If we have to be single issue voters, then this is my single issue. There shall be no return to any Jim Crow.
I think private businesses should be able to discriminate if they so choose. Just like I am able to discriminate against businesses that don't believe as I do. Should I be forced to go to a business that doesn't follow the 2nd amendment as I believe it should be followed? There was a manager who shot a robber this week not too far from me, the store is undecided weather or not to fire him. If they fire him I will not shop at any of their stores, should I be forced to?
At your house, if I were a guest. Should you be forced to allow me to continue being there if I exposed beliefs contrary to yours? How about if I was a vacuum salesman?

Again, the crowds go to where the MSM takes them. All the experts say the same about the leaders. Do you really think that the MSM will change anything?
Good point. When i write an email to the MSM, it is usually to ask coverage of a neglected topic, like most recently the police brutality at Occupy locations. The media will continue to do everything it can to move the conversation away from the 1%, the bankers, and the Occupy movement, so we must be the ones to keep the conversation going. We are the change we are looking for, and we had better be prepared for the long haul.

Really? Like say, the 14th Amendment- ya know, Roe v Wade, Brown v Board of Education, the Voting Rights Act? That's part of the Constitution, ya know. But for four score and nine years, slavery and the 3/5 Clause (before the 13th Amendment was passed). were part of the Constitution, too, no? As I recall, a number of states tried to secede from the Union because the Constitution wasn't being preserved to their liking, and they feared that their liberty to own other humans was being threatened.

The MSM has been playing us along on false dialogs for quite awhile. The fake dichotomy is best illustrated in the phony debt ceiling comedy played out last summer.
The MSM is going to marginalize anyone that doesn't support unlimited corporate welfare. The largest corporate welfare queens are in the defense sector.
Of course, health is right up there. Ron Paul doesn't offer any corporate welfare for health corporations either.
The answer is to not listen to the corporate media. When a commercial comes on, sponsored by a 1% PAC, change the channel.
Abbybwood would have you believe that, but there were more than a few of us in the prog-o-sphere- miss_kitty and myself at C&L in particular- who were sounding the alarms about Paul at this time of the year in 2007.
The truth about Ron Paul is that he's a whack-job states' rights supporter who happens to arrive at the same ends as some progressives, but via an extremely right-wing path. Progressives who decide to throw in with him do so at the very high risk of facing the same sort of situation that the Soviet Union found themselves in after signing a pact with the Nazis to divvy up Poland. What could backfire in a situation like this? Paul couldn't possibly use the platform of the presidency to attack good, longstanding progressive programs, could he?

please explain to me the logic behind busting people for BUI (bicycling under the influence)? I can understand the dangers of driving a 3,000lb vehicle while impaired, but seriously, a 30lb bicycle does not pose the same threat to the public-- why should the penalties be the same? And why should one of the results be the suspension of an impaired bicyclist's driver's license when a d/l is not needed for operating a bicycle? Seems excessively punitive to me.

From drivers' ed. course. high school years (Canada). Care and control of a vehicle (not necessarily a car), including bicycles, riding mowers, etc. You can get a DUI if you have the keys and appear ready to get behind the wheel, but are not even inside the car yet.

I believe the keys have to be in the ignition (not necessarily running). I remember being homeless and living in my vehicle while I had a suspended license. There wasn't anything they could do to me if the keys were on the floor and not in the ignition (though it pissed the cops off, they couldn't prove I actually drove it ;) )

In Pat's defense, Barack Obama is not an easy name to proounce when you're trying to get your points in fast on McLaughlin like you have to do. I know Pat (not all my friends are leftists) and he sometimes gets names and such wrong a bit like a lot of people over 70. Like, he once brought up the late film critic Pauline Kael to me (she was antipathetic to Nixon, Pat's boss) and called her "The N.Y. Times movie critic". "No, Pat", I said, "She was The New Yorker's movie critic". No big deal.
