Republicans & Democrats

[wkmac]

Corp. status is a state privilege. As a creation of the state, this artificial person (1) is granted its privileges now called rights that may not exist for natural market actors in the natural market, what I would call the free market. In a true free market, all actors are on equal footing as a state of nature and none enjoy a special privilege or status over the other.

Corporations only exist by act of the collective creature known as the state which is itself an action of socialism. All who take part with, grant support and pledge loyalty too are themselves socialists.

Gee, wasn't Nixon the most liberal Republican ??

Gee, wasn't Nixon the most liberal Republican ??

Right up there, considering today's Republican Party, but to insinuate that he was a 'decent Republican' may be a stretch.

Both sides may not be the same but the line which distinguishes them has never been more blurred.

Texas Democrat Says GOP Gubernatorial Candidate Needs Permission To Campaign In Hispanic Areas, Calls His Latina Wife A “Prop”…
“Greg Abbott came into our house uninvited, wanting to somehow give the illusion that the Lubbock County Hispanic community is supportive,” Lubbock city councilman Victor Hernandez said after Abbott visited the West Texas town and held a campaign rally at a Mexican restaurant. “If you want to come into my house, the first thing you have to do is to see me — see me as a person, see me as a human being, see me as a fellow Texan.”

Hernandez, who chairs the local chapter Tejano Democrats, is furious about Abbott’s appeal to Hispanic voters in his city. Even though Abbott was met by a crowd of supporters at Jimenez Bakery and Restaurant last week, Hernandez branded the stop as “offensive” to Hispanics and “beyond any sense of decency.”

He criticized Abbott and Republican candidates for not clearing their visit with local Hispanic groups.

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal [URL='http://lubbockonline.com/local-news/2014-02-26/tejano-democrats-call-greg-abbotts-stop-lubbock-offensive#.UxTuVPRdXAY']said Hernandez couldn’t recall specific examples of Wendy Davis showing the same deference to such groups.
But he’s in hot water over his alleged use of the word “prop” to describe Cecilia Abbott, Greg Abbott’s Hispanic wife of 33 years.

One is reality, one is fantasy. Meaning can't happen. Does not have the right LOGISTICS.

If you really want to reflect reality, you'd picture America as down on hands and knees with the elephant and donkey tag teaming all of us. At some point you'd think the pain in the ass and the bad taste in the mouth would signal America that this really isn't working out to our benefit.

The one's who really like it, well, you know......!

Eh, you do realize that if the republicans actually did nominate Palin that liberals and democrats in general would be ecstatic?

She would have a chance to win the Republican nomination IMHO. She has been a TEA PARTY favorite for a long time.
And let the Democrats be ecstatic. They don't vote for Republicans anyways.

 

[moreluck]

Palin is done with politics....except commenting on them. IMO

 

[wkmac]

At that level, the whole point of commenting on politics is to keep your name out there for the potential of going back into the ring.

And rightly so too!

Same may be true of Rand Paul. Not sure who will strike at him harder, democrats or hardcore libertarians.

He'll probably run, but I doubt he'll get the nomination. My very early prediction is either Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio but it's waay to early to say for sure. Should be interesting though.

The straw poll winner is usually not the candidate .
Jeb Bush gets my attention............but are Clinton & Bush the only families from which a president can come ?
