Obama may sing his way into the second term. Jeremy Lin may shoot his way into the White House. Why not he is a Harvard Grad and now that he has star power, watch out. The three reasons why the republicans will not get in. Newt, Mitt and Rick, between the three of them they do not have half the Charisma of Barak Obama.
So the race is on and the one horse nobody thought would have a chance is now in the lead. The only problem with this race is you have the other contestants trying to knock you off your horse. Rick Santorum is running on the platform that he is the only true conservative running. He does not have the money that Romney has so he will have to outsmart him.
Just watched a movie called casino jack.
Everyone should see this movie.
The more I see of politics the more I hate politics.
So here is my simple statement …I hate politics but I love my country…
The politician says lets discuss issues. I say ok then they start to sway.
So here is why I believe Barak Obama will win the next election. It has nothing to do with his failed policies or the fact that unemployment is at an all time high. These things are unimportant.The wall street protest are unimportant. This is all that matters. If that is not enough these images should do it. Sure we have our small group of people who actually think about issues but the vast majority of people are swayed by the political spin machines and in this high tech world of face book and twitter nobody has done a better job than the Obama image machine. He is funny . Nobody delivers a slogan better than him….I mean theses images are what he is running against…newt (video) mitt (video) Rick (video) Ron ( video). In the movie Network the mad newsman said it like it is….(video). Billions of dollars will be spent not on the message but on the image ….so all I have to say is hurrah for Hollywood (video)
My favorite television show has now become the republican debates. They have comedy, drama, conflict and if it keeps going the way it has been going it could have some martial arts thrown in.
I have a question, how did CNN and its band of biased liberals ever get the contract to televise the debates? What a circus, first you see the debates and then afterwards you get the commentators who pick it apart for two hours afterwards. The spin is so crazy it makes me dizzy to watch.
The President had a tough job delivering the state of the union address. I must say the man has charisma. I like him, I like his wife, kids and dog but I don’t like his politics. He stated a number of things that were on the positive side and that is good, the auto industry is doing great. He wants to see the middle class strengthened and the very rich paying their fair share of taxes, how can you fault that? He pointed out that under his watch Osama Bin Laden has been laid to rest. He also pointed out that our troops are coming home and finally the war in Iraq is over. This is all good. However, he did not point out that unemployment is almost at 9 per cent, gasoline is running about 3.70 a gallon, health share cost has gone up and we are billions of dollars more in debt and what have we received for this huge amount of money we have been spending. We have bailed out banks and we have had our credit rating go down. Our kids are paying huge money out on college loans and big government has done little if nothing to help them.
Here is my take on the republican party and their candidates. It looks now like a two horse race. Newt and Mitt leading the pack with Ron Paul and Rick Santorum bringing up the rear.
Ron Paul if he looked like Ronald Reagan would be a shoe in but he looks like an old guy and image is and spin is everything especially in American Politics. Rick Santorum is a nice guy, but honestly I would rather vote for his wife. She is amazing, educated, quick wit, strong willed and attractive. When you put her next to Rick it is no comparison who is the better candidate. Unfortunately she is not running and he is.
Ok here is my take on some of the major stories in the news today. I will state that I am biased and I embrace it. Obama what are you thinking? When you need a boost you drop a bomb. He has rejected the Keystone Project which would have brought oil from Canada to the United States. He listened to some tree huggers and instead of doing the right thing has given in to the environmental lobbyist.
When all else fails attack!
The political arena is not a place for the weak. If you have any areas of your life that are considered a character flaw you can be sure it will be brought to light by your political opponent.
In an election year nothing seems off limits to the Madison avenue boys who are paid huge bucks to develop that one ad that just might sway the election. There is nothing over looked, they pick the images that brand a person as dishonest or conceited or Both. They are the masters of deception. Instead of a political race we have a media frenzy perpetuated by attack ads?
So what do you think? Are we just part of something called a demographic to be manipulated by cleaver speech writers who are masters of something called “The Spin.”
I believe he is popular with young people because of his stance on The U.S. war involvement and he appears to stand for people’s rights and instead of corporate greed.
I do believe the political machinery will do everything they can to discredit Ron Paul… But with the age of social media we may just see the power of the people come to the fore front.
Who is the fairest of them all? Were you surprised with the results of the Iowa results ? Right now it looks like a three way race. So who do I think will get the republican nomination? Will the guy I would like to see get in won’t. That person is Ron Paul. He does not like big government, he would control spending and he has common sense and good business concepts are what America needs but he is an [...]
Steve Collins seems to be a spokesperson for the occupy Vancouver movement or protest. Steve is a university professor with some interesting ideas. He advocates for a government that is a true democracy. A government that is run by the people for the people and has no defined leadership. That brings up some interesting questions. What would that look like? Is it realistic to think that someone would not naturally aspire to a leadership position. I think a case in point, is the occupy Vancouver protest. When you look into it you see some people taking leadership positions. The fact is Steve himself was in a position of leadership.
