Ask not what you can do for your country, ask what asking what you can do for your country can do for you.

Well, heck, Gregg, yeah … the campaign as yet an outrageous grifter biz model.
“Money for Nothing” – Dire Straits & Clapton at Knebworth Festival, UK (1990).
No Country for Ask Men?
Kinda, sorta, maybe, thinking???
Yeah, and he will be on every Sunday snooze show from now till election time.
The ways in which these people find to use taxpayer money is criminal.
Does this model, can this model work for Dems? Or is this just an R thing?
Well, heck, Gregg. That’s what “free enterprise” in RWWorld is all about, isn’t it? Other. People’s.Money or OPM as they call it.
The politics racket is maybe even better than the church-as business model.
It really is kinda sickening. These people aren’t any smarter than I am, it’s just that I am handicapped by a sense of honesty and decency.
I would be much better off without my good character. I do hope that there is some kind of karmic justice in this world or the afterlife.
Thanks Gregg!
Brother, can you spare a campaign donation? /s
I am starting my own website. Going to get on the gravy train..who knew…let’s all run for president and get rich and fuck up their shit.
Thanks Greg..I am now going to be financially fine. I have started my campaign on my facebook page and will soon have my own website and a donation button will be displayed right smack dab in the middle, you won’t be able to miss it.
BINGO! It is sickening. I hate how the Dems, every time, use a popular movement or current event and somehow transcribe their efforts or victories into a dollar amount:
“We raised our voices against the anti-gay movement by voting NO! Thanks to you, we did it because we raised $5000 in 4 hours! Now, they are trying to pass more bad laws! Will you donate MORE MONEY so we can vote NO again?!?”
Jeebus! I didn’t know that this was like a craps table, and that every time they could raise $5000 in 4 hours, they would vote “No” or “Yes”! Damn! What happens if we don’t spend? They don’t vote the way they promised on the campaign trail!?
