During the 2012 campaign, Barack Obama’s reelection team had an underappreciated asset: Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt. He helped recruit talent, choose technology, and coach the campaign manager, Jim Messina, on the finer points of leading a large organization.
“On election night he was in our boiler room in Chicago,” says David Plouffe, then a senior White House adviser. Schmidt had a particular affinity for a group of engineers and statisticians tucked away beneath a disco ball in a darkened corner of the office known as “the Cave.” The data analytics team, led by 30-year-old Dan Wagner, is credited with producing Obama’s surprising 5 million-vote margin of victory.

Ah ha ha ha ha...
Isn’t it a real downer that others can actually come to a thread and express what the term “Free Market Capitalism” means to them, despite the fact it will cause you to wet yourself?
Yawn...
Oh I see the problem. You can only remember back one year.
Well, I’m sorry about your case.
Poor guy. That’s all you could come up with. Kindof pathetic actually.
I almost feel sorry for you
I simply enjoy pointing-out boneheaded comments.

Now, you are grasping at straws. Figures.
LOL
The GOP is nothing more than a branch of the DNC. Voters are blowing it by keeping the GOP in existence at all... we need a true Conservative party to go up against the DNC/GOP merged party.
Help me! A free-market capitalist told me that another free-market capitalist (and economist) understands basic human behavior! LOL, indeed.
LOL
Thank you, lrudeboy. I was searching for the proper response. Yours was better than mine would have.
Again, not a revolutionary concept—Friedman sums it up even better in the quote I provided in comment #52.
Yeah, we could act like them - but who wants to act like a lowlife liberal? It’ll be more fun to expose them - lift up the rock - let everyone see what’s under it.. soon..
Neither do I, but we have to try and persuade these kids the conservative way is the best way just like their “cool” peers brainwash them with emotional liberal traps; we cannot, cannot stop trying to spread the word.
Even kids in my own family got wobbly for awhile after leaving home and needed an occasional conservative bootcamp refresher from time to time. Until they start working full time, most have no clue what the progressive ideals cost them, we have to keep talking to these kids.
I teed off on you the other day for saying this. I shouldn't have. I think you've got a point in there somewhere, but as I said the other day, the Free Market Capitalism of today isn't quite the same as it was 25-30 years ago.
This kid is doing something good, and I should have acknowledged that more than I did.
I thought back on this today while I was out, and wanted to mention it to you.
As for me, I'm involved in capitalist/"anti"-capitalist flamewars nearly every day, it seems. Some of it probably spilled-over from another thread where you were not involved. That, and I'm brusque by nature . . . .
Globalist!
“Reagan was also able to articulate Conservative Principles in a manner that connected and registered with the Average Person. Reagan sold the benefits of Conservative Principles and painted a picture of an America that was proud to get up in the morning, go out, and win.
Find a candidate who can do that and you win.”
Reagan would have been crushed today. Sorry, completely different era back then even though it seems not too long ago.
Voted for the man in ‘84 but current culture, education, media, values are so polar opposite today there is no way a true, God fearing, moral conservative will win the job as President.
It will take a violent turn of events to go back to some semblance of decency in this Country and very few want the remedy or could stomach it.
