The elite are nervous.

There are so many right-wing wackos popping up in the Republican party that legislation the elite need to increase/preserve their wealth may be blocked in the senate due to issues the elite don’t give a shit about like: racism, sex or Christian values/intolerance.

The Senate has the filibuster, an institution so sacred that is has not been altered since 1979. Or perhaps the Democrats are deeply committed to the democratic principle that 11% of the country’s population – those in the 21 least populous states – should exercise veto power over the other 89%. Richard Anderson-Connolly, 2010

Romney is a boring New England liberal, a flip-flopper, a draft-dodger and believes Satin is Christ’s brother.

This is who God has chosen for the Evangelicals?

This must cause even Pat Robinson to pause a moment and question his faith.

I don’t see the Evangelicals coming out to vote for Romney.

So, the Billions of dollars to be spent on the 2012 election are all to convince 2% of mindless swing voters in Ohio & Florida.

Unless there is another Republican election fraud effort currently operating in Ohio and/or Florida to eek a win for Romney, then the elite are happy with Obama and he will be re-elected.

It might be better if Romney won – with a Republican House and Senate – they could implement all the old conservative ideas (the same ones that led to the Hoover 1929 & Bush 2008 financial collapses). This would lead to the Romney financial crisis.

Except this time the bailout would not put the people in debt to save the wealth of the elite. This bailout would use the wealth of the richest country in the history of humanity to save jobs, provide education and healthcare, build infrastructure, and save retirements of the people.

Only 3% of liberals in Ohio & Florida could change their vote, resulting in a 6% voter swing from Obama to Romney. Obama would be history. These few liberals may be the last hope America has.

“… Ann Romney never worked a day in her life.”

US productivity would be half what it is today if all American women “chose” not to enter the workforce.

Mittens spent the Vietnam war in Paris, France as a missionary – that is when he wasn’t protesting in favor of a war he had a religious exemption from participating in (to be fair, lots of Mormons hid out from Vietnam this way).

Mittens is not only weird & creepy, but he is also a coward.

The mercury from all the coal being burned in China makes it way back to the US. The mountain lakes in the Sierra, the Cascades and the Olympics now carry fish consumption warnings due to mercury contamination.

While the coal trains are being protested, the US just approved the largest expansion of coal mining ever in the Powder River Basin of eastern Wyoming.

The Vancouver, Canada coal terminal is very small and can’t be expanded. The only spot to ship coal to Asia from on the Pacific coast is from a proposed new terminal in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham was selected by Outside magazine as one of the best outdoor-cities in the US. The coal terminal would turn Bellingham into a polluted (tanker & train exhaust, noise, coal dust, acid runoff), congested (dozens of 130-car trains, 24-hours per day) mess. Bellingham is already located downwind from the two largest oil refineries in Washington state.

Last week on Behind the News, Doug Henwood said that the increase in consumer spending (as a % of GDP) since WWII is all additional healthcare costs. Consumer spending currently is about 70%. If you factor out the increases in healthcare spending, consumer spending always has been and currently is 59% of GDP in the post WWII era.

So why can’t the US “free market” produce a more efficient outcome than a dozen other regulated world markets?

The additional cost Americans pay is proof of a market failure – there is no competition – the insurance companies have erected barriers to market entry.

The solution is simple: Give the “free market” another two years to achieve below world average costs and above world average health outcomes with everyone insured. If the ‘free market” can’t achieve this in two years (they already have had 60 years), then Medicare for All is offered by the government.

Republican & Democrats set goals for public schools and close those that are failing. Likewise, we should close this failed chapter on “free market” healthcare.

If the “free market” can’t beat the world average, we might as well have socialized medicine.

In the Bible, God brags of killing, by name or number, 2,476,633 people.

Satin is credited with killing 10 people.

Anyone stumping for the Bible needs to explain this mass murder before going any further.

Consider one of His killings, this compassionate God slowly kills the newborn baby of David (who has just arranged the killing of his lover’s husband) and, yet today, He is used as the reason for the anti-choice movement. 2 Samuel 12

Trump – multiple bankruptcies.

Bush Jr. – Arbusto, Spectrum 7, Harken – all failures and swindles.

Romney – five bankruptcies.

Trump, Bush & Romney – all children of privilege, all failures, yet, all end up wealthy and leaders of the Republican party.

“If this passes, we’re going to look back 20 years from now, or 10 years, and think of it like Jim Crow laws” that discriminated against African-Americans. North Carolina is competing with the world for business, he said, and “we have to be inclusive and open.”

And is another 40 years we’ll look back and say, “80 years of nuclear power and we’ve created a million years of toxicity – what were we thinking?”

I suppose it is fitting that Santourm called it quits (not losing, just winning in a different way) in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania – the historic spot that aspirations of the white-south come to an end.

It must be terrible to see your best political hope, a Catholic yankee, replaced by a Mormon yankee – can’t God find a decent southern Evangelical to run His country?

If Dems really wanted to change America’s healthcare system they would challenge the conservatives with a “Last Chance” for “free” market healthcare:

The “free” market has had 6 decades and brought the US the most expensive healthcare system in the world with lesser outcomes compared to all other developed countries. 26,000 to 45,000 Americans die each year due to lack of access to healthcare (the terrorists are not that good at killing Americans).

Let’s give the “free” market two more years to insure everyone, at a cost less than that in France and with the best health outcomes in the world. If the “free” market can’t beat France and their “socialist” healthcare system in cost, coverage and health outcomes, at the end of two-years, Medicare will be offered to all.

Sanford, Florida is 30% black. What percent of the police department is black?
