An update on the circus: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/ron-paul-strikes-deal-...

Talk about striking a deal with the devil hey? Ron Paul, Jesse Benton and company just a "tip toeing through the tulips" by playing nice. It's politics as usual yet again.

Shrink YOUR Government

The debate about shrinking government is mostly wishful thinking ... With the selection of Paul Ryan as the Republican vice-presidential candidate, it is clear both political parties agree that the central issue in the coming presidential election will be the scale and scope of government involvement in the U.S. economy. There will be disagreement over what constituted "normal" levels of spending in the past and indeed over what constitutes "spending." But there is a widespread view in both parties that it is feasible and desirable that in the future the federal government will be no larger as a share of the overall economy than it has been historically. Unfortunately, this aspiration is unlikely to be achieved. Even preserving the amount of government functions the U.S. had before the financial crisis will require substantial increases in the share of the economy devoted to the public sector. This is the case for several structural reasons. – Reuters/Lawrence H. Summers

Dominant Social Theme: The path we are on toward larger government and more federal expenditures in the US (and the West) is an inevitable one. We have no choice other than to live this way and discuss what (helpful) services we will disallow.

Free-Market Analysis: Here comes Lawrence H. Summers to tell us that shrinking the US federal Leviathan is at least improbable. Summers is very good at this kind of thing. After Milton Friedman passed away, he wrote an article entitled, "We're all Friedmanites Now."

Of course, who really would want to be a "Friedmanite," the man most responsible for the US graduated income tax, who believed in steady state monopoly central banking, who campaigned against the draft but ended up giving the US its all-volunteer army?

With this statement as in so many other ways, Summers provides us a head-fake in one direction – toward free markets – while listing evermore leftward. This is, of course, the ambit of his career. He's very good at it.

Barry had a million sheep, their skin were white as snow

and everywhere that Barry went, the sheep were sure to go.

They followed him to school one day, which was again his rule

It made the Bleeders laugh and play to see the sheep get fooled!

When will you check DonCordellforPresident.com and see there is a sensible choice to Restore not Change America. WE do not have to chose lever 1 or 2 it's time to stand up and prove you have another choice, if you have the guts to ReVote.

Bravo, Lawrence.

Troy, thank you for the welcome.  My comment...  IF I choose to vote in this election it will not be for either of the establishment parties, as the lesser of 2 evils is still evil.

The father, son and holy-ghost. A triple-crown moment, James. A tri-infecta!!

Its like I always say, "2 versions of the same crap sandwich!"

Right wing, Left wing, what happened to the brain in the middle?

I welcome your welcome, Troy!  I'm stuck on cyanide/arsenic choice.  How about the tried and true slit the wrist scenario...yeah, too messy.  I agree with Tara--puppets Rummy and OH!bumma have short strings and until that curtain is pulled down and the puppeteers are exposed, the insanity persists.   

Just in case we missed this one~ the irony is killin me~ 

Romney's picture spells out his greatest love...not irony, truth.

because it was a photo-op mishap...paparazzi was all over it, so it was bound to get put out ;)

I'm sure mittens didnt want this one to show up

I think the next TSR radio show I do is going dedicated to this group, the No Confidence Party. If anybody has any suggestions of songs that would fit into the context of the show, please feel free to add them either here or my profile page, thanks :)

BTW... great job with this group Troy and all. It is definetely one of my fav's on 12160!!!

I just had to post this one again i love it Lawrence ~ that's the party i want to be a part of the hug your kitty and kid party~

I am voting this November. Will write in NO CONFIDENCE for federal positions. I must vote for my local and state government spots. Will also set up an exit polling booth with sign up sheet to manually hand count the ballots after the polls close. Will also have a sign up sheet for people who can film and repost to youtube the manual count. Thats my plans for this November election.  FYI: I am registered "No Party"

I hear ya CH... "the rigged system just like Vegas folks". It sure is. I never did like throwing money away to a casino, where your literally playing a game of chance and the odds are you won't win, so my solution is... I don't gamble. It is just the same as in voting. The odds are stacked against us winning.

Federal Election time is approaching and the peanuty gallery is growing and becoming more raucous and spirited than in the last circus ho-down.

The left/right paradigm is broken so all we need is a few good nuts or should I say... a plethora of nuts to pelt the very political system that is set up for only the top 1%. We are the change we seek and not some God Damn man in a fancy suit, talking fancy words and living a life so fancy free. F that! Destroy the Machine!!! 

It's time to take back control, not only outside ourselves... but most importantly, inside too. Look in the mirror because the reflection staring back at you is the change you are seeking. Power lies in everyone of us, if you so choose to seek it :) 

Found a gawdamn Barry Sign stuck in the front yard this morning....I found it about 7am, wasnt there last night, so exposure was minimum I'm sure. Well anyways, this has prompted me to make my own....so heres whats replacing that usurper's sign....

Secessionist Movements Grow Across U.S.

If there was one reason to vote ~ it might be to say NO to Obama care ~ there is no reason to believe Romney will get rid of it accept he said he would! I feel like we are between a rock and a hard place ~ If Obama is re~elected FORWARD MARCH  toward his vision of taking America down the european path to disfunction and he is in my opinion taking us quicker to the new world order ~ I cannot remember any one who divided us so much ~ if Romney is elected my greatest fear is the neo con types will stop even listening to alternative opinion and the brainwashing of Americans will dig in even stronger and war is peace will be even stronger and the bastard will find a loop hole of some kind to keep obama care in a back door kinda way ~ Is it better to just let this SHTF  with american republican types worried about a freedom they do not have any way or stop obama and just see what happens ? I no loonger have a dog in there race ~ let it fall in my opinion why hold up / prop up something rotting from the inside out just because it will hold back the inevitable a little while longer ~ MOLON LABE ~M@TH@ F#AK@R'S 

Between Scylla and Charybdis

The Pepsi Challenge

Everyone keeps saying there is only two choices but have we forgotten that Gary Johnson is still in the running as well as some others. Get out of the left-right paradigm and vote for Gary Johnson. Let's give someone who isn't part of the same bird a chance. If Ron Paul were still in the running I would say if you're voting vote for him, but he's no longer there. So vote Gary Johnson or do as I have always done and don't vote at all. I think voting in a rigged election is a fraud and everyone who does has nothing to complain about. I exercise my freedom of choice and don't vote. And no my not voting is not a vote for anyone it's a vote for no one. I don't need a government to give me permission to be free, I am free, unless I give that right up.. GET IT.. Vote for no one this election or vote for Gary Johnson, otherwise enjoy your enslavement.. Thanks for letting me comment.

Hmmm...the day after the debates and the price of gas is going through the roof in my area...up to $6 at some stations and lines in others and media is claiming a 'shortage'.

Gas prices were manipulated so that Carter would lose the election. You think this is a repeat?
