Limbaugh/Palin 2012

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=Russell]John,The problem is John, that no respectable drug addict would be caught dead fat. Obongo! Give us some Obongo and some government cheese John.

Allan, You didn’t get those George Washington quotes from “Black Hawk Down” ? Anyway,Guns are fine. If someone comes after you and you need one, that sounds like fair play one way or another. Too bad guns don’t really work against large scale tyranny though. Swapping tyrants yes, ending tyranny no. Kind of like voting in the U.S.A.[/quote]

Rus: Guns did a great job ending tyranny during the American Revolution.

I don’t get the “Black Hawk Down” reference, though. You’ll have to explain that one to me.

And as far as dead fat drug addicts, didn’t Elvis punch out rather portly? You know, when he blew that embo on the toilet after too many drugs and fried banana sandwiches. Not dissing The King, just sayin’.[/quote]

Just being an ass, Allan. The Plato quote made once upon and eon ago, may have had it’s only source in “Black Hawk Down”. Survey said it came from Santa Anna ( or was that Carlos Santana?) and possibly McCarthur but probably both used it. As an endorsement of War it sounds much better coming from Plato.

Elvis not only was fat and on drugs he overdosed, oops, not dissing him either,even Michael Jackson can do that. I like Karen Carpenter better, at least she did the noble starved herself to death on drugs.

This thread just makes me wonder if a ticket like say Clinton/Edwards, if he weren’t toast, looks as repulsive to conservatives as Palin/limbaugh looks to libs. Admitted, I dislike almost all politicians, except for the ones who don’t speak through pursed lips and pander to special interests. Edward’s phony ass populist pandering is enough to make one barf, it just doesn’t look as rediculous as Palin/Limbaugh to me…well, yes it does…

Rus: I don’t think the Republicans are seriously considering a Limbaugh/Palin ticket. At least, I hope they’re not!

Edwards is as phony as they come, but Clinton stands out in my mind as being quite well qualified to be President.

He was highly intelligent (Rhodes Scholar), was an accomplished policy wonk and had experience in government (granted it was as governor of Arkansas, but still). He should have been a stellar President, but he wasn’t and in spite of his background.

The problem with all politicians, once you get past the fact that they’re all ethically compromised, is that they are bought and paid for long before they get a legitimate shot at the Presidency. By the time they take office, the people that paid for them to be there start calling the markers. You’re seeing that sense of disillusionment amongst Obama’s environmentalist supporters and we saw it with Clinton’s gay supporters. Bush tried to remain faithful to the Republican “core” and we all know how that worked out, which is why we’re even talking about Palin at all.

By the way, and on the same subject, if you’re up for a good summer read, check out Grisham’s “The Appeal”. It’s very topical and very relevant to the discussion. I liked it, even though it left more jaded than when I started (if that’s possible).

Actually I meant a hypothetical ticket of H.R. Clinton and Edwards.

I have been reading about permaculture and intentional communities and the sociology,anthropology ect. that come with the territory. The problem with politics may stem from the idea that the group the institutions encompass are too big for anything but selling out, institutionalized graft, phonies,power grabs, ect. I read that it is somewhat widely believed in these aforementioned fields of study that 50-150 people is about right for a community to function by shared principles. Even most churches are bigger than this. Not starting a cult yet. However, it does shed some light on the political situation and makes it more easy to laugh at. It’s no fun to be stuck between the Democrats and the Republicans IMO…any of them.

Anyway, thanks for the book recommendation. Not a lot of time for reading but I’ll at least investigate it.

I say keep Barry the Intern in office for 5 terms, he is a traders dream. I am going to make a killing shorting the world he is singlehandedly ruining financially. Haven’t figured out a way to take advantage of the apology tour skit yet but hopefully I will come up with something other than just laughing. Limbaugh not nearly as funny as Barry, he would be boring as Pres and rumor has it he does not read as well.

Here’s to Barry, hip hip hooray
