Hmmm, let me see...according to the mayor, it's better if the glass is smaller and better if the plate is smaller, but....better if government is Oooooh-so-much-bigger. Only in New York would people elect a fruitcake like this guy.

Meaningful Work

To me, work has always been about earning money and making money. It's wonderful if I can do something I enjoy, but if I can't, I still need to work to make money. I have been lucky and have had numerous jobs that I really enjoyed a lot. I have also had a few that I haven't liked. When I reflected seriously on the ones I didn't like, I asked myself -- if they had paid me DOUBLE what I was making, would I like the job any better? Heck, yes! It was humbling to realize that when it came to jobs I didn't enjoy, making more money would have made them a lot more palatable. I guess I'm just greedy and aspire to be in the famous 1%.
In the White House or out of it, George Bush conducted himself like a gentleman and a President. Obama has done neither. He didn't do it before he won office and he has done it since. And it's highly unlikely that he will enjoy a second term because he is indeed an amateur who has brought economic disaster to this country and has been the MOST divisive president ever. But most of all, Obama is a big-mouth, blame-everyone scoundrel who would not recognize responsibility if it hit him square in the face -- which would be quite deserved. He is absolutely a president with a small "p."
I'm with you. It's really hard to fail when the other team has a spokesperson like Debbie the Mouth.
Poor Zelda. Talk about miserable and unhappy. You are the epitome, my dear. Talk about meanspirited. You are the poster child.

TrumpPac?

Yeah, but he's 150 thousand times richer and more successful than, say, you -- so I guess your statement speaks to what a buffoon you are, and how "not very bright" you are.
Your comments are virtually a joke. Just because you want to stomp your little foot on the ground and yell "there is one reason and one reason only" or "that's it" -- none of that makes anything so, or anything real. Your statement is nothing more than an opinion, and frankly, it's a politically loaded one founded upon (what a surprise) nothing.
Like others here, I believe Mr. Hatch has evolved into a moderate conservative, which is okay. It's just not the firey ultra conservative he used to be, and that was the conservative I enjoyed listening to the most. He was thoughtful, insightful and articulate. Now, to me, he seems much more middle of the road, with not very much zip left in him. I doubt very much whether Sarah Palin's enorsement will mean a whole lot in terms of re-election.

Poll: Obama 49 - Romney 46, But...

Here a poll, there a poll, everywhere a poll poll.... Who really believes this pap anymore? Reality dictates that hard core liberals will vote for Obama, and hard core Republicans will vote for Romney to beat him, and that vast collection of swing voters in the middle will voted based on....hmmm, who knows what their votes will be based on? Probably whoever promises them more and convinces them more.

Colin Powell Not So Keen on Obama This Time?

I don't think Colin Powell is any longer the opinion leader he once was. I doubt that anyone truly cares what he thinks and / or would be swayed by his choice.
