Guess someone misunderstood your reference to "secular faith" and thought you were talking about the Catholic faith. Secular progressives are indeed under the influence of the Great Deceiver, more's the pity.

My point is that in the run-up to the primaries, Romney was only campaigning against Obama. It was when the race began to tighten that he was compelled to go negative on his primary opponents. Gingrich is using a lot more than small arms fire in his assault, up to and including gross misrepresentations of Romney's AND Santorum's past actions and statements, which is when I lost all respect for him. When things are going well for him, he's all sweetness and light. When things go bad, he gets mean-spirited and ugly, and that kind of behavior would not go over well in the general election. And I'm quite awake, thank you very much.

Up until a few weeks ago, when Gingrich pulled out the long knives, Romney was almost exclusively campaigning against Obama rather than his primary opponents, letting everyone else take shots at each other as they vied for the title of the best non-Romney candidate. Now that the field has narrowed and Gingrich won in SC and has gotten pissy about his losses, Romney has focused his attention on Gingrich and Santorum. I've liked Romney's and Santorum's stump speeches when they've focused on Obama and on how to bring America back to greatness. Gingrich is just too snarky for my tastes, even when he's going after Obama.

I don't know if this is the case, but it's a legitimate reason to cut off the grants. From what I've read, embryonic stem cells are not as useful as adult stem cells in addressing medical problems.

It seemed to be every 3 days or so for a while there. If I were in charge, there would be four or five debates, and they would focus on the areas that the public show are most important: the Economy, National Security, Role of Government, etc. Focusing on gotcha questions is not informative to the viewers. I'm not a big Gingrich fan these days, but at least he tries to get them back on topic. I think the candidates should use my old college exam approach: whatever the question, redirect to what you can talk about and score points; in this case, an actual platform issue. Example: "Do you oppose gay marriage?" "Whether I oppose it or not is not germane since the Executive Branch cannot enact any laws. I will say that I believe in states' rights and feel that the issue rests in that realm. The federal government shouldn't dictate a policy in this area to the entire nation...."

I'm a big fan of most things PIXAR (exceptions WALL-E and UP) or other animated movies...one of the few things I'll go to the theater for without hesitation. When I said cartoons, I was talking about The Flintstones, Smurfs, stuff like that.

Stop recycling old stuff and start making new, original films. There are lots of GREAT new books out there just waiting to be turned into movies. Amen to that! I read a new book every week or so, and any of them are better than most of the storylines that come out of Hollywood. For that matter, a lot of television shows, which have to come up with 10 to 20 hours of storyline, do a better job than the movies these days. Please leave cartoons and sitcoms on the small screen where they belong. Concentrate on big stories that merit the large screen. These days, I'll reserve my theater-going to "big" movies--Lord of the Rings, Batman, etc.--that need the theater experience, at least the first time. Little indie films and rom-coms are just fine on my 40" home screen.

If I had a million dollars lying around plus a bunch of friends who have a million or so to spare. What would I do first? Build a hospital in an underserved area? Build a school in the inner city? Fund an AIDS clinic? Buy up pristine parkland? Start a jobs program in Detroit? See, there's so much one person with a lot of money (and connections) can do. Why is it they prefer to go on talk shows and tell the rest of us we're not giving back enough (btw, I am, thank you very much).

We hear about all the millionaires in Congress. How about when they get their paycheck, they sign it back over to the Treasury? They're making so much off their positions with books, speaking tours, perks, and premium healthcare, why do they need a paycheck? I've long been an advocate of a part-time Congress. They all have offices in their districts. Get some videoconferencing equipment and conduct any emergency business electronically. Pay them minimum wage for their hours in Washington, put them up in a Holiday Inn when they're in town, and send them back home at the earliest opportunity.

He's an equal-opportunity offender, and he's the target of much of the abuse (which, granted, is a little bit odd...). I love his story about how his wife and daughters talked him into getting a Prius (light blue)--going home from the dealership, he's driving the Prius and his wife's behind him driving his Hummer...same thing happened to my brother.
