That’s not what happened: Obama ran on his unsatisfactory but not disastrous record as President; Romney ran on nothing more than vague promises that things would go better with him in office.

There were plenty of reasons to vote against the extension of Obama’s presidency, as I myself did. But it’s neither stupid nor crazy nor corrupt to prefer that to the assurances of an otherwise decent man who is apparently willing to say anything to be elected. Conservatives and Republicans who hope to return to power need to understand that.

The Only Thing You Need to Read Today About the Election

Your next must read should be this by Charles Krauthammer.

estimated profitability of a "federally run" distributor?

I'd guess pretty much unlimited

What do you do when logic, and this is simple logic, does not get into the space between the ears? Maybe an immigrant family needs to speak to the YT group in DC to explain how we go without when we do not have, and how we buckle down to find a financial solution. In this case, finding a financial solution is taxation for the government.

Barry should appoint Nate Silver to something or other

I've always felt that she and her husband seem like really genuinely nice people.

Katrina victims might disagree.

But in the end it'll be 2-3 dollars of spending cuts (entitlements and I hope defense) for every new dollar of revenue, most of which will come from return of the top rate to Clinton levels and closing loopholes.

“The rigidity of those pledges is something I don’t like. The circumstances change and you can’t be wedded to some formula by Grover Norquist. It’s – who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway?” [George H.W.] Bush remarked.

“I think he ought to go back to Alaska,” Barbara Bush joked, a reference to a 2010 interview in which she said she hoped Sarah Palin would remain in her home state.

(a) that wasn't my quote
(b) Barbara, not Laura. (Or are you referring to the "working quite well for them" quote?)

"OK, but what did I do wrong? That's fine if they want to," she told the reporter. "But I don't understand what I did wrong."

Let alone someone in or around Danville, Martinsville, Lynchburg, Roanoke, or... dear god, the parts further west than Roanoke. I mean, we have three of the most prominent conservative Christian law schools in the country dispersed around VA.

I suspect that RPH knows more then a few places that fly the stars and bars of a bygone war every day. Richmond was the epicenter of southern succession as it was the capital. Stupid as that sounds, it is a sad truth. As a carpet bagging Yankee, I cannot even begin to understand this, but it is fact.

we have a plant site that flys a confederate flag outside of its property area. and like every thursday or friday or something crazy people all go out there and salute it. mind blowing

Where on earth are you locate?

As a northern note, if it is stars and bars, that is the battle flag. A quiz you don't want to give to thee Nutzies is to provide 3 flags including the real flag of the confederate states government and the battle flag plus something else plausible and see if they actually know what is the proper confederate flag.
