Oh my! Something actually useful and informative out of the National Review???? Could they, would they, actually begin proposing justice and reform to foil this shake down of the US? The communists are going to have their own “solutions” and if conservatives don’t lead, they will lose to another round of campaign finance reform scam and a socialist economy.

I hope Annie reads this so she can better understand what the Tea Party is about and why conservatives are not grooving on Mittens or any of the GOP Establishment.

“Oh my! Something actually useful and informative out of the National Review????”

If past practice is any guide Williamson will soon find himself purged by the minicons of NR.

This article explains why FR is dragging right now with nobody here.

Mitt’s people are on a tear.

Who's Annie?

Election 2012: Romney 45%, Obama 39%

Romney earns an overwhelming 75% of the vote from those Tea Party members, while the president leads 49% to 37% among those who are not part of the grass roots movement.Obama has 65% support from the Political Class. Romney leads 51% to 31% among Mainstream voters.

Who are Mainstream voters?

Romney has yet to be attacked by the media. So that poll is just more media push for the easiest candidate for Obama to beat.

The independents are the swing group in this election. They know about the shake down in DC. People don’t know about Mittens yet. But they will soon find out, after he is nominated, that he invented Obamacare, wears magic underwear and is a wall street huckster.

I understand that, but who's Annie. BTW, I'm voting for Romney only in November, if I have to. ABO means more than the three main blood groups.

Hell of a way to end my daily scan of FR articles. :)
"So there you have it: hedge-fund titans, i-bankers, congressional nabobs, committee chairmen, senators, swindlers, run-of-the-mill politicos, and a few outright thieves (these categories are not necessarily exclusive) all feeding at the same trough, and most of them betting that Mitt Romney won’t do anything more to stop it than Barack Obama did. If anything, the fact that Romney is having the least luck with the firm that knows him best speaks better of him than does the enthusiasm he apparently inspires in Goldman Sachs et al."

It took two hundred years plus, with the real culprits having their way within the last hundred years to bring the huge trough into existence. America continues to be raped.

Best I have read from National Review in years. Wall Street are not capitalists. They are money manipulators who buy off politicians

TribalPrincess2U ~ When the ones who can make the laws are corrupt, it pretty much stays corrupted. They’ll never change that.

Tainan ~ Ya know...that French Revolution thing...it had its good points....

Yes. The french went from being world leaders in science technology, diplomacy and international trade to being, well, france.

Essentially the guillotined anyone better than average, and ended up overnight with a whole country of nothing but schlubs.

There are plenty of people who think this would be a good comeuppance for America, and that's just in the White House.
