You automatically jump to 'paulbot'? I don't like Paul, either - but he's irrelevant at this point, so I didn't mention him. Same deal with Gingrich. But hey, keep on putting words in other people's mouths. I guess because I don't like Paul I must be an Obama fan? No, I just don't plan on casting a vote for President this year. To address your other comment - while Santorum and Huckabee certainly have different beliefs, the comparison is that they're both social conservatives who never met a spending bill they didn't like.

Instead of McCain/Huckabee, it's Romney/Santorum. Same ideas, different names. The GOP 'leadership' all need to be thrown out.

I'm not much more a fan of Gingrich than I am Christie (although I'd vote for Gingrich), but talk about your circular firing squad.

We can't possibly let those filthy peasants have even a moderately conservative candidate, dear no. Anything to promote Democrat-Lite. I suppose the establishment GOP believes they can get their favored candidate in office because of their belief that anybody can beat Obama, but I wonder if we're going to see a repeat of the Bush/Kerry election, with the roles reversed.

Sadly, the media ignored that particular story. Not that anyone here should be surprised.

Not that the rest of the field is much better, mind you. I'm genuinely debating writing in "zombie Ronald Reagan" this year.

Our founding fathers specifically rejected a democratic form of government. "We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy... It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity." - Alexander Hamilton "The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived." - John Quincy Adams Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:36:50 +0000 http://biggovernment.com/mminton/2011/12/23/californias-condom-mandate-new-ballot-initiative-targets-adult-film-industry/#IDComment245741932 http://bigpeace.com/stzu/2011/12/16/wikileaks-suspect-makes-first-court-appearance/#IDComment240010420 Nothing is ever entirely secure - we have to rely on the integrity of the people entrusted with those secrets. He betrayed that trust, and has to face the consequences - both as punishment for his betrayal, an as an example to others who might do the same.

Robin Hood stole from the corrupt tax collectors, and gave the money back to the people. So, how does a Robin Hood tax work? Are we taxing the IRS? Edit: Looks like sqotty beat me to it, but the point stands.

That said, I've caught bits and pieces of it at various times on television, and at one point I saw at least one scene that I think you're referencing here. If you're going to do product placement, might as well be tongue-in-cheek about it. I believe there was an episode of Simpsons where they criticized blatant advertising (or something to that effect - it's been a long time), and Bart says something along the line of "Yeah, we'd never do that" - then pulls out a Butterfinger and munches on it for several poignant seconds. Much as I dislike his show, the Colbert Report takes a similar approach.
