    Ronald Reagan had a great understanding and appreciation of what is important to most Americans as evidenced by this quote and many others:

    "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem"

    -- President Ronald Reagan, 1985

    You want to have a keen appreciation of how he thought, then
    read his diary.

    Just to be clear Barron sidetracked us into this debate. I was merely balancing the ledger.

    And I was pointing out the irony of the "Obama's a liar" argument.

    Amen! They'll say whatever it takes to get reelected.

    Given that lying works, it makes much of the constituency
    idiots.

    See, I disagree with the last part of this statement. I wouldn't call much of the constituency on either side idiots. Sure, the extremists of both parties are dumb (no doubt) but I feel like most voters fall in the "Well, I've got to pick the lesser of two evils here" camp and aren't really pleased entirely with either choice.

    At least that's where I stand. I admit, though, that I am a strange individual so maybe that's not quite the case. Maybe everyone does indeed suck.

    33.

    That's the number of times the GOP House has voted to repeal "Obamacare."

    When Republicans say government never accomplishes anything, are they making a self-fulfilling prophecy?

    Not only do they think it doesn't work, they WANT it not to work.

    NAACP gave it to Mitt, who spoke at their convention. I give Mitt credit for going into the Lion's Den. However, his speech writers suck!

    33? I guess Tom Cruise will divorce them now.

    I think that Mitt knew what he was getting into and used the colored people as willing pawns to highlight his opposition to Obamacare.

    That is giving Romney undeserved credit for being strategic.

    Seemed like a no brainer. Surely Romney did not think that the colored folk would cheer when he announced that he wanted to repeal Obama care.
