Consistency in the law is but an obstacle for the anointed to overcome...

"It is deterring good people from running for office." No, it is deterring good people from being Republicans running for office. Democrats have the media cover for most, if not all, of their wrongdoings. Edwards would never have gotten away with his affair if he were a Republican.

"Shows will scrape the bottom of the barrel looking for something to criticize about a candidate. They are put in catch-22s; criticized for looking too dumpy on the one hand, or too polished on the other hand. " This only happens to Republicans.

"They are held to impossible standards and put in catch-22 situations where they are criticized no matter what they do." On the latter, ok, but they are held to virtually no standards whatsoever, particularly if they are Democrats.

"They just want it safe and legal." Actually, I think their main goal is to make it legal and profitable.

"The reason people want power and style is to be seen, to be admired, for people to adore them." No, the main reason people want power is to wield it.

"In the case of those who poured a lot of money into Facebook stock seeking instant wealth, only to see the price plummet, their greed did them in." It wasn't greed, it was sloth and envy. The easy way is rarely the right way.

"While the lack of participation in the incentive results in less cost for the subsidized incentive the end result will be more individuals eventually being dumped into the government approved plans – exactly what the real objective of ObamaCare was from the start…a total takeover of healthcare by the federal government. And, at that point the cost skyrockets and individual freedom to choose disappears. " Bingo. The projections were just cover for those voting for the abomination. They knew it was bogus and would result in a government takeover.

As long as the leaders show a profound lack of respect for human rights, the business of China will remain power, not business. They are using restricted free markets to buy power for themselves. Time will tell if they can retain control. I hope they don't.

"If liberals will attribute Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus bill to Bush, what won't they do?" Nothing? Libs today have zero intellectual intergrity. They believe their own lies are true, simply by definition. They are like Brando in the Godfather spoof The Freshman: Everything I say is by definition a promise.
