Why is there a not Romney candidate?
Bob Dole (R hold your nose) Loser, endorses Mitt.
John McLame (R hold your nose) Loser, endorses Mitt.
Wait! Mitt lost to McLame? Did he pick up any one in the draft? Has he been practicing? Just how does he win? He is a loser endorsed by losers.
Why can he beat Obama? Things are different you say Obama is weak. He is a (R hold your nose) candidate. I am tired of holding my nose. He Lost to McCain last time, we cannot afford to have him lose to Obama this time.
Am I voting for Newt? Unlike Romney who I wonder if he believes what he is saying. I wonder what Newt is going to show up. The conservative articulate one with solid ideas, or the babbling moon base one with really bad ideas. No I cannot vote for Newt I admit that I like some of his ideas, however between his baggage and record absolutely not. Let me be clear baggage to me means his character has been assassinated and reassassinated so many times that John Q Public could never see the truth.
That leaves Santorim and Paul. Rick is a nice guy and has run a good campaign keeping it focused on the issues that matter mostly. He is a big government social conservative or his record in the senate was. All I have to say is he supported Allen Specter over Pat Toomey, need I say more?
Just so you know the final candidate, nope not a chance. Not gonna go there.
From the founding of our country there has been a fight between limited government and big government. There were Federalists and non federalists. Guess who wanted a big government? Over the past 230 odd years our government has grown and grown. Isn’t it time to limit it?
Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin once said “Those who will trade freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.”
We get a choice between Obama who thinks that 16 trillion in debt is a good start but we really need to spend more to turn the economy around or Romney who wants to work within the system to bring us back to 2008 level spending. Or Newt the pragmatist who is willing to sit on a bench with Pelosi and talk about globull warming.
All I have to say is Stop the damn spending stupid!
So we have a government that tells us what kind of light bulbs to buy and how many gallons of water your toilet can flush. It even says how much water your shower can spray on you. Wait I forgot that breaking a CFL light bulb releases more mercury into your home than a coal fired power plant. But we need to shut down coal fired power plants and use CFL bulbs because the government says so. I think I forgot to mention the government tells me what kind of mattress I can sleep on and tells me that if I remove the tag on said mattress I can go to jail. Intrusive overbearing government, don’t get me started.
My point is, how is Big Government and temporary security working out for us? Isn’t it time for a change? Not Hope & Change but kick the bastards out and change!
Here is what I want my candidate to say/do.
Tell me your vision. Share how you came to be where you are now, and where you want to be. Give me a look at how we are going to get to this future goal. Show me how this vision is based on the principals that made us great. Tell me how you are building on these foundation principals and how you are going to lead us to a future America that is greater than ever. If you think something is wrong with America tell me how to go about correcting the problem.
This election is about jobs, the economy, and Obama.
If I was running for president I would say that America is a nation of innovation. Innovation creates jobs regulation interferes with jobs. As president I will slash regulations and expand innovation by expanding DARPA / ARPA funding. Energy creates jobs, inexpensive energy fuels jobs. As president I will cut regulations on nuclear energy, and open areas that previous administrations have closed for drilling. To further stimulate the economy I will implement tort reform. Lawyers and frivolous law suits are stifling the economy. I will slash spending and come up with a plan that can have us debt free by the end of my 1st administration. Lastly I will do all that is possible to undo everything that Obama has done starting with Obamacare. Once that is done for my second term I will see if we can innovate our way into making the moon our 51st state. That is American Colonialism.

FIRSTSE!!
Thirdsies?
This poat discusses boobs of a whole nother sort…
I’ve chosen to concentrate on the House and Senate races. Fuck Willard and his “moderate” views!
Good idea, chief.
Not a bad rant at all there, Vman.
That is the way it’s going to have to be, MCPO.
I was approaching BiW length commentary. Sorry BiW.
Excellent poat, Vmax!!
Well said Vmax. BiW is going to pissed when he finds out his basket of words has been depleted for the week.
We have a chance to take back CD 1 and a chance at a Senate seat pick up. We went solid blue in 08 and won one back in 10.
Good rant.
I have quibbles, but none that would withstand a “forget it, he’s rolling.”
Did anyone fondle anyone else’s potato today?
No, TGSG, but I did peel and cut some up for dinner.
Great rant, Vmax! Unfortunately, the Penthouse Republicans who run the party machine already have dirt pieces out on you in every media outlet to put you down and drive you out, plus money bombs for Mittens.
Enough dirt on fellow Republicans! Start the campaign against the
SCoaMF-in-Chief!
Great post, VMan!
Slightly O/T, but I’m hoping someone can clear something up for me:
I’ve thought all along that the delegates in Florida were going to be awarded proportionally, and now EVERY news media outlet is talking about Florida being winner-take-all.
Yet, the RNC SPECIFICALLY said that if Florida moved their primary up, they would lose 1/2 of their delegates and NOT be WTA (and there’s plenty of documentation out there to back that statement up).
So why is everyone (including Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday) now saying that Florida is winner-take-all? Did the powers-that-be at the RNC decide to change their minds (and if so, just when did that happen)?
And if it’s not WTA, then the way I see it, there’s still a long way to go, and this race isn’t over by a long shot.
This is from the Tampa Bay Times, back in October:
http://is.gd/mwGLKy
And there’s a letter from the RNC to the Crazy Uncle Ron campaign that addressed the proportionality issue quite clearly (but I’m not going to link anything to RP’s campaign)
Excellent rant, Vmax. I won’t sully it with a mug photo without permission.
Kilt it again? Dang…..
Found this, though – makes it all as clear as mud:
http://is.gd/chZQOU
‘Cuz if they do WTA, they’re still in violation of RNC rules, but there aren’t any more sanctions they can impose, so somebody with standing can challenge…..
Aw, screw it.
Did somebody say a new season of Spartacus began Sunday?
IT’S GONNA BE A GIRL!!!!
Happy day, Gramps! Your job is to spoil her rotten. I recommend lots of hugs and candy.

Awesome!
Congratulations.
MCPO is soon to have ‘Property of Little Miss _____’ stamped upon his forehead.
Congrats MCPO!
Yes, Jewstin – but you can catch it practically any night of the week; I think new episodes drop on Fridays this season (I could be wrong on that).
Stick around after the credits on the first show of the season – there’s a nice tribute (screenshot) to the late Andy Whitfield on there.
WooHoo!!!

Congrats, Chief! Little girls need a grampa who will treat them like the princesses that they are.
I foresee lots of tea parties and trips down the Barbie aisle for you and Mrs. Chief…..
Mum’s the word, Chief.
Thanks, Teresa. I thoroughly enjoyed seasons 1 and 2. I wasn’t sure there would be another.

Great update 🙂
Nice mug, ya mug!
That mug looks great! How does the shirt look and fit?

Shirt looks good, fits fine, but it’s a little long on me. I’ll have to tuck it in.

Um, you have obviously not been reading IB. First, we should conquer Canada. They are pretty defenseless, and they have a lot of oil in shale rock that is now extractable with new technologies.
I think that was actually Marlon Brando in “The Wild One”
Only four more work days until Satureday. We’re practically there.
Plus, those Canadians deserve an ass-whupping.
I’m still kind of pissed off about the War of 1812.
They fucking burned down the White House!!!
What is it about today? Why are women insisting on giving me a hard time? Also, STFU and make me a sammich.
*makes MCPO a roast beef and mustard on sourdough bread*
My grampa taught all of the grandkids how to play poker….
Why are women insisting on giving me a hard time?
I have also been pondering that question, and there are only two probable answers.
1. I am an obnoxious male, unfit for female companionship.
2. Women are all crazy.
I’m going with #2.
Mr. TiFW came home not feeling good; Rebecca’s massage therapist’s baby has the crud in her lungs (MT was here on Saturday), and I think I’m feeling a little tickle in the lungs.
I don’t wanna be sick…..
This would be a much better world if sick people would simply stay home.
Michael when I Binged the quote several said Franklin and others said Jefferson. Not wanting to clutter my point I attributed it to both.
This would be a much better world if sick people would simply stay home.
Reagan shoulda kept the asylums open.
Michael, don’t overlook the possibility that it’s 1 and 2.
It’s mostly #2.

Is anyone else worried about Wednesday Eve and Lauraw giving up smoking? Anyone?
oso has a point. Somebody hide the grenades.
I don’t think the hump needs grenades.
There’s a reason I unload firearms when my girls come to visit.
It doesn’t have anything to do with smoking though, it’s just, prudent.

Made it through day 1. Anxiety was supposed to peak today.
Anger is supposed to peak during day 2.
I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT!
Perhaps we should all just sleep through tomorrow?

Hubby saw the header. Had to ‘splain it to him. He is still shaking his head.
It’s about time we had another girl here at the hostages. Last few babies have been boys. But honestly , I think we should come out against any more babies here. Rosie’s been mia, peel and weel? Gone. Morgenholtz? Gone.
No, I think we need to nip this in the bud.
Non Hostages

Baby surprises are the best Leon.
But, Leon? I’m sorry but I’m going to have to say no to the baby thing. Not until one of the other parents come back.
Baby surprises are the best Leon.
I’d say that depends strongly on where you are in life.
Mrs. Caruthers is interviewing for a new job on Wednesday, so my prospects for fatherhood in the near future likely rest on her not getting the job.
I mean waiting until they’re born to find the gender. Although two of my kids were the other kind of baby surprises and they turned out pretty cool too.
I also received a photo of the lovely Julia taken today. She looks real cute as a pregnant lady!
So cheif have you forgiven me for giving you a hard time earlier?
I hate surprises. So few of them are good.
Thailand may not be the vacation destination for you.
Carin – Sure, why not.
Sean, it’s Thailand. It’s not really a surprise.
I just claim that after the fact.
Cathy will swear to God on a stack of Bibles that we discussed her going off the pill, and I agreed. To this day, I have no recollection of that conversation.
Not sayin’ it was a mistake . . .

Mexicans are breeders. In the past 4 years we’ve welcomed Arin, Natalie, Sean, Eva, Lucia, Annabelle, Joseph, Sofia, Brianna, Camilo, and Grace. I am a baby wrangler.

Had to do that with Mini-me. We called her Bashful because she covered up during both ultrasounds.
Osita, I bet it’s a challenge not repeating a name in your family.
Sean – Phillies had better get on the Hot Stove!
I did not know Sean was a Mexican name…..
Roamy, we have lots of Maria’s! My cousin’s daughter named her baby “Constance” and didn’t realize that my name was a diminutive for “Constance”. She thought she was being so original.

Dunno what channel. It’s a Brit show. Modern day take on Jack the Ripper.

And people think he doesn’t work hard.
I hate that I can’t sleep more than 8 hours even when I try and have time to do so,
why would you want to sleep more than 8 hours?

There’s a link at the AoS FB about Teh One answering a question from the wife of an unemployed engineer. She wanted to know why the president was adding more foreign visas when there’s not enough jobs to go around. Basically he couldn’t believe that her husband was somehow still unemployed. Asshole.
Which also reminds me of one of the church ladies bitching about the economy. She moved here and hasn’t been able to find a job, but she still has the Obama 2012 sticker on her car.

Sunday, I was lectured on how the Founding Fathers were overwhelmingly in favor of estate taxes, because that’s what Europe did.

The founders also made sure that only land owners voted.

You know, that story is trying to slant it positive for Obama, but I don’t think it is -actually.

Romney is still fighting with other Republicans – so THAT affect his support.

Plus this : “Among survey respondents, 42 percent identified themselves as Democrats, 31 percent as Republican, and 23 percent as independent. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state.”
In 2008, women voters went for Obama at 56%.
No, they’re spinning this piece.
*Decides to call MJ to prove that I can call friends too.
Oh wait – I don’t have his number.
whatta shame.
Very true Jay. Inner cities have no ‘men’. Just dogs in heat. And why should it be any other way when you and my husband will buy them food and diapers and everything else?
>> isn’t it women who are married vote the other way?
I can’t look up the numbers now, but I think this is an exception to the rule. I know Obama carried every demographic except white males (racists), including married women. Kerry and Gore carried married women too. I don’t recall past that

That’s what it used to look like at the TiFW house one week each month.
Mr. TiFW was the one on the top of the hill…..
How do we ever win an election, if women turn out in bigger numbers, and vote for Dems? Something is missing in that equation.
More men shift to the Republican, or a lower percentage of women (still a majority, but like 51% instead of 54%) vote for the Dem. Or larger / smaller numbers of both (turnout)
In many elections the women vote pretty evenly – not as lopsided. Then you get men that go R.
THAT is how we win. Break even with women, dominate men.
How do we ever win an election, if women turn out in bigger numbers,
You and your brethren better figure that one out quick and either turn out en masse (to beat my brethren) or learn to outcheat the cheaters.
I don’t think I have ever voted for a dem. When I was single or married.
I was for Jimmy Carter in the 6th grade in 76, at Selfridge. Until someone told me he wanted to cut the military budget.
Never again.
I”ve never voted for a democrat.
Oh wait. In local elections – mayor of detroit. I mean, it was either vote for the dem I preferred, or don’t vote.
I voted against Kwame BOTH times.
And anything Oprah makes me shart. I belonged to a book club once and many books the members chose were Oprah picks.
Can’t tell you how much those things irritated me. Same old dysfunctional problems over and over…..low self esteem, fixation on body image, rape, drug use, slut behaviors.
And then the discussions. I still have forks sticking out my eyes.
I stopped going.
Jay and others … my wife and many other ladies I know, who’ve never visibly followed elections (and I mean every single debate and most talk shows) IS following this one at EVERY opportunity. I’m convinced women voters will be WAY more aware of candidate differences and positions this time. I also FIRMLY believe the left leaning media is doing a good job of convincing Republicans all is hopeless, not based of fact but based on manufactured slant and inaccurate polls, opinions disguised as “news coverage” and so on.
We need DSW to have a clearance sale on election day.
Problem solved.
I like the de-nicotining scott. It’s got a teeny bit of a sharper edge.
*wonders how laura is doing*
What if you are not allowed to vote if you are on some sort of public assistance? If the assistance is from the state, you don’t get to vote for statewide elections. Federal help, no presidential election.
Clint, are you helping your wife’s edumacation along or has she always been in your camp? Is she in your camp?
*subscribes to Scott and MJ’s newsletters
MJ, that should be a rule, that if broken, would get your ass put on a chain gang of picking up highway trash.
I know of a few like that, CB. There isn’t nearly as much support this time around for Teh One, but we’ve got 10 months to go.
The latest Congressional ads are coming out. Surprise surprise, they blame the entire Trillion Dollar Deficit on Boehner and Congress (we have a Republican rep, amazingly enough). But we are going through redistricting, and we are now in Steve King’s district, and he’s like holy water to vampires as far as Democrats are concerned. Our GOP rep (Latham) moved south to take on Leonard Boswell, entrenched Des Moines Dem rep. Polling is just getting started, but it sounds close.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this shakes out.
I think we should throw them all out and start from scratch.
*writes the hostages in*
beasn, my wife has tended to be a “moderate” … fairly strong on national defense, fairly squishy on social issues.
I’m telling you guys … the husband did it.
Police sources say the accomplice is his mistress, an employee of Wayne State.
Good job, Columbo!
fairly squishy on social issues.
So she is okay with subsidizing other people sex lives or buying them wedding cakes?
About a third of our cake orders – at least the more expensive ones – are paid with food stamps. And you don’t want to hear the kind of fraud and abuse the cashiers see.
Yeah, cake is hard to make.
Why are they ordering cakes, beasn? Birthdays, anniversaries, etc? Or weddings, once in a lifetime stuff?
HA! The husband is on a conference call. All sorts of accents.
Indian, German, Fwench. I told him that when the Fwench guy comes back on, to interrupt him and ask if he wants to see ‘my tits’ – as in his, not mine. Those guys are grabby. So I hear.
LOL –
They are reporting right now that the husband is cracking. He was going to buy his girlfriend a house in Grosse Pointe park. Lies have been discovered. And someone came into the police and talked.
THey’re saying his demeanor was all wrong – which was what I said from day one.
Jay – yes.
I’ve got a $48, two tier cake this weekend. First birthday. SNAP program.
I notice the rules for things not to buy with food stamps is (among others):
Hot foods from the grocery store
Hot or cold foods meant to be consumed in the store.
Nice workaround they have there.
1. I would never figure store bought cakes into my budget. They’re not economical. And yet my tax dollars can afford it for welfare recipients.
Duncan Hines has a great cake that one can make for under $5.
Hot foods from the grocery store
That does not make sense to me. A cooked chicken costs $5 and would feed a family of four for one meal.
A f*cking cake has zero nutritional value and yet they can ‘buy’ those over a cooked chicken. And that feeds however many fatasses depending on the size.
All cakes are bought now, for birthdays. I can’t remember the last one that wasn’t. But you can make one so cheap.
We just go out to eat, no cake at home. I don’t eat it, and my wife knows it. She gets ice cream for her birthday.
Good morning, fresh squeezers.
Ok, I’m done with this murdered woman. They just said her “favorite” book was “The Secret”.
ugh.
Plus grocery store chicken is so delicious, and bad for you.
Except Dahls. Ugh, their chicken is bad.
I usually make cakes for birthdays. The kids prefer it to store bought.
If you are eating on your neighbor’s dime, it should be for food to keep you from starving. Cake, cookies, soda, chips, high sodium prepared frozen dinners – NOT.
Rice, beans, potatos, chicken, vegetables, fruit, oatmeal, gubmint cheese. Period. You don’t like it, then work hard to get off the teat.
Haha, even Ace is on the “Sweet Meteor of Death” bandwagon now!
Hah, but that’s what I buy, beasn! After eating the prepared stuff, now I like to make it from scratch. Lots better, and cheaper to boot.
Plus, it takes the same amount of time.
You don’t like it, then work hard to get off the teat.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh, that’s a good one, Beasn!
Wait, you were serious?
Inner cities have no ‘men’. Just dogs in heat.
Huh. Maybe I should hang out in the inner city more. If I bring some duct tape and WD-40 and am prepared to use them, I might be competitive.
So what is better….to pay an almost extra mortgage payment per month or to just pay what the mortgage is, sock the money away until you have a comfortable pile for emergencies, then pay the sucker off?
Wait, you were serious?
No, I wasn’t. Seriously, I would have the program cut out of existence. That sort of thing belongs to the community and private citizens to carry out.
If you pay it off earlier, don’t you save on interest?
I’m not pre-accountant though.
You know, beasn – I’m fine with the government doing minimal things to help those in need. bread. Cheese. beans. Handed out from a government run pantry. Just as I’m for “free medical” treatment, administered in a similar manner.
Want good food? earn the money to buy it.
Want to not have to wait in line, for hours, for a checkup? Buy some sort of health insurance.
I think our issues come in that we think the poor should have service and benefits equal to the middle class.
I overheard some woman talking the other day about being on some assistance, and not wanting a job, because then they’ll just cut this or that aid she receives.
THIS is where our problems lie. THIS.
I mean, really, there are only two rules that govern mechanical engineering:
1. If it moves and it ain’t sposed to, duct tape it.
2. If it don’t move and it’s sposed to, spray it with WD-40.
Ha ha ha Rush is playing that bit from last night about Engineers. Obama’s going to forward the guy’s resume. @@ Unemployed? Interesting ….
I will be free of nicotine tomorrow night!

We need to redefine ‘need.’
Crippled? Mentally handicapped? Mentally ill? Terminal with no family to aid you? Elderly and financially depleted, with no means to keep yourself comfortable? These things.
Young folks, able of mind and body? Nuh-uh. Not needy.
Right. Although I’m not opposed to VERY TEMPORARY aid to those who are able, but temporarily down on their luck. VERY TEMPORARY.
I think our issues come in that we think the poor should have service and benefits equal to the middle class.

Nazi. Everyone deserves a trophy, organic food, fiber optic cable, a plasm tv to watch it on, day care, education, college, transportation (preferably something german, such as a VW golf. I hear they get good has mileage yet they are still kinda cool) internet access, an iPad or laptop, cellular phone service, a phone, heating oil, air conditioning, housing, air filtration, clothing (name brand stuff so that the assistance isn’t made for those receiving it to be some sort of stigma), a garage to protect the investment in the VW, water, water filtration, medical insurance, routine checkups, abortions, contraception, cosmetic surgery (to build self asteem), books, music, diapers, formula, prescription medication, haircuts, vacations, and lubricant.
Now, from that list, which items would your liberal friends think is a right? Which is absurd? Which are we already providing?
Oh, and the lubricant is so that no one hurts themselves whilst fucking us in the ass.
Duct tape should be a right.
Also – subsidized (HUD) housing MUST have a light fixture in the main rooms of the house. Not a lamp. One wired and mounted.
BECAUSE THE POOR NEED PROPER LIGHTING AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO BUY LAMPS.
And duct tape.
Lamps aren’t cheap Car in. There were some at Goodwill priced at $5.
That’s birthday cake money, right there. Being wasted. On a lamp.
beasn, per your mortgage question:
Unless you have a serious concern about loss of employment in the near future, pay the damn thing off ASAP. (I’m considering refinancing to a 10 yr fixed, just to get it paid off sooner.)
MJ forgot about game consoles.
He’s a monster.

*still remembers ToughSkins jeans from Sears when i was growing up.
They should make body armor out of that stuff, it’s indestructible. And UGLY!
Oh, wow. ToughSkins. That takes me back.
Well, they shouldn’t need air or water filtration, as they have the right to clean air and water.
*still remembers ToughSkins jeans from Sears when i was growing up.
I can’t tell you how many times I got my ass kicked for showing up to school wearing plaid Toughskins.
And my mom wonders why I hate her.
I thought ToughSkins was a brand of condoms?
Wow, “Cracker Counties”? Martin utters a racial slur, and gets away with it.
