I wasn't at the Scranton event, but I have to say the Secret Service is in dangerous territory here. In cooperation with the Palin campaign, they've started preventing reporters from leaving the press section to interview people in the crowd. This is a serious violation of their duty -- protecting the protectee -- and gets into assisting with the political aspirations of the candidate. It also often makes it impossible for reporters to get into the crowd to question the people who say vulgar things. So they prevent reporters from getting near the people doing the shouting, then claim it's unfounded because the reporters can't get close enough to identify the person.
That article just confirms to me that pipe fitters are indeed the dumbest of the labor unions.

Actually that article does a good job of describing what I've read repeatedly on Slate and Salon. That while there are many with terrible, terrible stereotypes of African-Americans, they still look to Obama as a hard-working, smart politician.
I wanna make sure that I understand how Obama's tax plan will benefit the US. Given my near retarded lack of understand of economics, this is what I came up with.
Let's consider the wealthy as those who control the means of production. America enjoys a capitalist economy. So, isn't the whole idea for them to produce, us to consume, so that they can produce more thus allowing us to consume more? We spend money, they make money. So, wouldn't it be logical to give tax breaks to the consumers as opposed to the producers, since the consumers are the ones who will most definitely and most efficiently put that money back into the economy? So, even though the wealthy may pay higher taxes... they'll be reaping higher profits from the working and middle classes who suddenly have more disposable income.
This is indeed the stupidest conspiracy theory ever. This is even sillier than the plot of Eagle Eye, and thats saying a lot.
If you have widespread corruption amongst poll voters they can simply...
a) Spoil peoples votes and change their ballots
b) Vote as people who don't show up, even if we get 70% turnout, just voting as half the remainder would swing any district
You don't need to register new voters. In fact, doing so is insanely stupid. If the Democratic party somehow has nationwide control of the poll workers they wouldn't even need to campaign. They could run on a "We will make it obligatory to punch kittens" policy and still win.
Australia is probably the most blessed in terms of energy resources over all.
Yeah, I mean, they've got all that... uh... desert wasteland.
Solar power?
Actually, no. Australia's entire power grid is based on animals that CAN FUCKING KILL YOU. See, you throw a bunch of random people in a big pit and attach them to spokes of a giant turbine. You then let loose every animal Australia has to offer and as they run for their lives, it generates power.

Am I understanding this correctly?
from a logical standpoint, I think I'm safe in saying that's essentially how America will benefit from tickle-up economics, and this is essentially the gist of Obama's tax plan, yes. Although I could always be proven wrong.

Your voting locations sound much more interesting than mine. :winky:
On the topic of "the death of public financing", does anyone think this might change the kind of candidates we see? For example, would it make more sense for the Republicans to nominate more people like Palin, in an effort to get the base to crack open the wallets, or would a more middling position would still be better?
Of course I post this right before the crazy so no one catches it as they lock in on that. :P
Thinking about it more though, I think it'd probably have to be someone closer to the middle. As good as Palin was to the Republican fund raising, she's been extra kind to the Democrats. (to say nothing of her other effects)

Case in point, if Obama really is a terrorist than why hasn't the CIA and FBI done anything about it? Either 1. he's not and people are just fucking morons, 2. the FBI and CIA are more in the dark than several email chains, Fox pundits, racists and are hence incompetent, 3. Obama has infiltrated those organizations with secret liberal terrorist sympathizers in which case becoming President would likely be a step down in power.
*sigh* I was just in a Gamestop where one of the register trolls was ranting about how Obama is a "literal terrorist" and "anti capitalist."

Well, I think it applies to the 2016 Dem choice as well. I don't think people will be taking public financing again for the next 8 years, given what Obama was able to do with it. Unless it gots reformed I guess.

The guess is they don't have enough volunteers to actually make the calls so they are throwing money at the problem.
