Cynicism was pushed as being smart in 2010 and we can see what that got us, the

Tea Party, a truckload of right wing bigots who want to bring down the government standing between us and them forcing their reactionary views down our throats.

Cynicism is less dangerous than putting your heart on the line to be broken. But millions of Americans can't afford to be cynical:

In 2012, over 56 million Americans will receive $778 billion in Social Security benefits.

Medicaid is the nation’s largest health program in terms of number of recipients, serving 56 million to Medicare’s 48 million.

More than a third of Americans lived in households receiving government assistance in 2010.

More than 46.6 Million Americans Participated in SNAP in June 2012

More Libertarian, Paul, Bagger ideas Democrats do not believe in:

Libertarians believe that taxes should be abolished along with all the programs and departments that taxes fund. Libertarians don’t believe in Medicare. Libertarians don’t believe in Social Security. Libertarians don’t believe that there should be fire departments, police departments, public transportation, grants for education, unemployment, disability, food stamps, and every other type of government system and assistance that you can think of.

Libertarians wish to eliminate taxes in order to eliminate all of the above programs and more. Libertarians believe that without these taxes, individuals will have more money in their pockets and will be able to afford all of these things. If someone is unable to provide themselves or their family with school, health care, or food, people need to rely on family members, church, or a private charity.

Libertarians believe that government’s role in the market should be to protect property owner’s rights. There should be no FDA, equal employment opportunities, unions, minimum wage, payroll taxes, safe food handling requirements, consumer protections, regulations that protect against financial conflicts of interest and fraud, and business licenses.

Libertarians believe that business owners should have the right to deny entry to minorities and/or women and/or people with disabilities, if that is how business owners wish to run their businesses.

'We will have the last laugh & our purest love will be rewarded by the universe.'

I love that!

Definitely in the works. Nordquist wants Romney as his Robosigner-in-Chief.

He says the legislation has been written, all that's needed is someone with 'enough working digits' to sign it.

No process but theirs. Everything is at stake in this election.

Everything.

Let's keep laughing all the way! The universe rewards the purest love. Or something like that.

John Lucas's powerful thread here:

ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE

He reminds of how laughable the GOP candidates are.

IMO, Ryan would take over and Mitt would move to the Caymans.

While Nordquist authored the bills and one of them would be to pardon Romney. Then legalize everything he's done.

Could be that's been the plan all along, whether this gets into court finally or not. I don't think Mitt wants to work for anyone else and put up with legal restraints. He'd find the office of presidency, or at least as we've known it, an insult to his way of doing business.
