Hiatus over!
Well, I started this blog a few months ago and promptly forgot about that (sorry!) but I’m back and I’m making it my goal to post and queue a few posts so you have something to validate why you followed this blog in the first place!
Thanks guys and look forward to a few ramblings and rants now that the race for the White House really started! Remember, if you’re at least 18...

Hey guys.
Sorry, still alive.
I’ve been busy with school and work and have kind of neglected this blog but I’m back. :)
A lot of things have happened in the past few weeks and I guess I’ll start with the State of the Union speech that President Obama gave a few days ago.
Any direct questions are always welcomed!

Romney 'Collapsing'
liberalsarecool:
So much for inevitable.
Mitt Romney’s once 24 point lead in the Gallup daily tracking poll is now down to just 10 points. Gallup editor Frank Newport told MSNBC that Romney’s support was “clearly collapsing.” The poll is a five day rolling average so it doesn’t even fully reflect the last few days which, of course, haven’t been Romney’s best.
The old Republican standard:...
GOP Candidates' Tax Cuts for the Rich are 270... →
thepoliticalfreakshow:
You might as well call the GOP the “Party of the Rich”. Each and every candidate is catering to the millionaire and billionaires who pimp out their pockets. It’s basically like a prostitution of government money, in which the GOP is doing everything the rich tells them to. They still want to get paid.
Except the middle class is the one getting screwed.

The U.S. schools with their own police. →
The charge on the police docket was “disrupting class”. But that’s not how 12-year-old Sarah Bustamantes saw her arrest for spraying two bursts of perfume on her neck in class because other children were bullying her with taunts of “you smell”.
“I’m weird. Other kids don’t like me,” said Sarah, who has been diagnosed with attention-deficit and bipolar disorders and who is conscious of being...
Republicans Demand More Corporate Donations, Hand...
liberalsarecool:
The Republican National Committee argued in federal court today to allow corporate campaign donations to candidates for federal offices. Rick Hasen: “Especially if Romney is the nominee, expect this to be rolled into Romney’s ‘corporations are people, my friend’ line, the Bain Capital stuff, and the recent ‘I like to fire people gaffe,’ with Occupy undertones, for...
"Crybaby" Gingrich Attacks On Romney Takes GOP...
liberalsarecool:
Bring out the big-boy diapers. Newt Gingrich is throwing another tantrum, but instead of trashing the federal government, he’s trashing Mitt Romney — and damaging the GOP’s hopes of taking back the White House.
Gingrich, despite sinking in the polls, is going nuclear on the former Massachusetts governor on the eve of the New Hampshire primary, and now it looks personal....

missneshaaa asked: I'm totally digging your blog. I love how it puts everything into perspective in one place. Do you have any suggestions as to where I can get some detailed information? Preferably something not super biased toward either side...which is hard, I know. Humans are creatures of opinion. Thanks s'much :)

Santorum: I Didn't Say 'Black People,' I Said... →
fearandwar:
A few days ago, GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum put his foot in his mouth by saying “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”
Santorum allegedly made the controversial comments when discussing welfare in an interview Wednesday night with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, but he maintained that people misheard the word “black” when he...
Strong Language on the NDAA from Amnesty... →
kohenari:
Amnesty International has issued a short statement about President Obama’s decision to sign the National Defense Authorization Act:
“Despite expressing serious reservations, the Obama administration has paved the way for legislation that will authorize indefinite detention. The bill places enormous power in the hands of future Presidents, and the only answer the President has is to...
jvba-deactivated20120315 asked: Can you please explain the voting process?
Standings so far in the Iowa race.
Rick Santorum 25% - 29,210
Mitt Romney 25% - 29,173
Ron Paul 21% - 25,121
Newt Gingrich 13% - 15,639
Rick Perry 10% - 12,127
Michelle Bachmann 5% - 5,926
Michelle Bachmann looks like she isn’t backing down despite her ending up in dead last. Newt Gingrich looks like he’s going to attack Mitt Romney in the upcoming months which will help out Rick Santorum.
Ron Paul likes his...
Why I don't really think Iowa is too significant.
So the results of the Iowa caucus keep coming in and Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney incredible close. Ron Paul dropped to 22% but, regardless, it’s still too close to call.
I was talking about this just now with someone and I, personally, don’t really care much about who wins. Regardless of who wins this there always exists the possibility of that changing. The reality is that this is...
