Amazing what a self-deluded tool this weisel is. All of the crazy shit said or posted by wingnuts is either: a) Said or posted by liberals posing as conservatives; or, b) Understandable/excusable, because 'liberals started it'. Idiot.

Santorum wants to turn the US into a Theocracy in which higher education is the pursuit of "snobs". Can't you see how appealing that would be to moderates and independents?

Luckily for our nation, less than 20% of voters think like the OP. The Exploding Party nominee will be either: a) A moderate with policies and issue positions virtually indistinguishable from Obama's; or, b) A far right-field ideologue deeply frightening independents & moderates. Whichever is choice is put forward, President Obama will easily win re-election.

Hannity would top my list. The man is a non-stop font of right-wing talking points. I don't believe he's had an original thought in his entire life. Limbaugh, obviously. Levin, for sure.

My original question was: How does experience generating returns regardless the consequences (a la BainCapital) prepare one to serve citizens in a governmental role? Your original response was that President Obama appointed a BainCapital alum to the OMB which, while true, is not responsive to my question. I asked for clarification. You dodged...and dodged...and dodged. Leadership Wrote: ----
