    And wasn't Obama proof that running a campaign is a qualification for running a country?

    (Well, I guess we've seen how well that works.)

    Hillary Clinton is in the Middle East telling upset Muslims that they should ignore what is being said on the campaign trail because in America politicians will say whatever they think will get them elected. It is just how we are, according to her.

    I would think that Santorum feels the same, as do most of the entrenched candidates, so he figures he can just say something different later.

    He may have already!!

    There have been some VERY strange irregularities in the voting process in states where RP was close to winning. "Lost ballots in Iowa"? What level of incompetence would be necessary to lose the effin bllots!!?!! 20% of the precincts simply ignored in Maine? With the state chairman telling people not to read the results publicly and caucus workers where Paul won flat out stating that the published counts are wrong?

    Something don't smell right.

    That's what it comes down to in the end: the powerful doing what they can to keep their power and get more.

    And one of the ways is getting the peons on board to your message: "You to can be RICH if these 'policies' weren't in place!"

    And then there is the Democrats saying make me king for a day and I'll take care of you regardless of how irresponsible you are regarding your own upkeep, because I am smarter than everyone else and you "deserve" to have everything someone else worked for.

    There is one plausible candidate that isn't a warmonger. Polls show he is statistically tied with Obama, and he is currently in second place for delegates in the current primary. But, his loud mouth detractors say that his foreign policy is "crazy". Somehow, saying that we should send troops into battle without the consent of Congress has become "crazy".

    Our country is doomed.

    I worked in carpentry. After building it, most couldn't tell you which walls were supporting structures. If ESR told them they should tear the house down, they'd kill him with their hammers.

    Just because the "99%" do manual labor, doesn't mean they will support you.

    Really, if our elected officials that are supposed to write the law can so openly and callousely blow off the document, why should the officials who are supposed to enforce them give a damn?

    You can do a lot of it yourself. There is just a vested interest in the industry to tell you that you can't. Better yet, is to buy an experimental. Then you can do everything but sign off on the annual inspection yourself. Finding a IA to pencil whip the signoff is easy.

    If that is all you can find, you're doing it wrong.

    Look at the experimentals. You won't have difficulty keeping it under $50k(US).

    Yeah, your picture isn't so easy to condemn when you actually look at the people, not your manufactured strawman of people who you think are lazy pond-suckers.

    Look at them? I'm friggin' related to 'em. Many are lazy pond-suckers. I've got a cousin with 4 kids, all with different daddies. Says she wants to have 8!! And she's working hard to get there. I would say that my strawman can beat-up your strawman.

    Rich people will always do the things that make people rich.
    Poor people will always do the things that make people poor.

    Once the poor people start doing what the rich people do, they're not so poor anymore. I've watched this play out around me so many times it's nauseating.

    Most people at some time in their lifetimes will accept some kind of assistance from the federal government.

    And how much of this need is caused by the federal government taking so much of my life's earnings. This turns into a circular argument. The Feds force people into poverty, and then say they can't complain about federal waste because they accepted federal assistance (funded by the feds making it so that I needed the assistance).
