Barack Obama's Deficit Commission Members: Erskine Bowles, Alan Simpson, Ann Fudge, Alice Rivlin, John Spratt, Andy Stern, Dick Durbin, David M Cote, Paul Ryan, Jeb Hensarling, Dave Camp, Xavier Becerra, Jan Schakowsky, Judd Gregg, Tom Coburn, Mike Crapo, Max Baucus and Kent Conrad. My opinion, for what it's worth. They're a bunch of rich folks, most of them politicians, with Conflicts of Interest, for example: 1. David Cote, a multimillionaire who is CEO of defense contractor Honeywell, a former GE executive, a board member of JPMorganChase, and a member of the CEO group, the Business Roundtable. 2. Ann M. Fudge, who is CEO of Kraft and former CEO of Young & Rubicam Brands, and who sits on the board of Novartis, GE, and Unilever. 3. Only one economist: Alice Rivlin, former Director of the Office for Management and Budget, who co-authored a report advocating for $47 billion in cuts to programs like Social Security, raising the Social Security age, and reducing inflation adjustments. 4. 12 current members of Congress including Senator Tom Coburn, Rep. Paul Ryan, and Sen. Max Baucus. 5. There are only 2 members of the commission considered to be progressive: Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Rep. Xavier Becerra How can I take the Deficit Commission serious when the Deficit Commission co-chair, Alan Simpson, seems to be preoccupied with cows and tits?
RonPaul.com Is the controversy over building a mosque near ground zero a grand distraction or a grand opportunity? Or is it, once again, grandiose demagoguery? It has been said, “Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” Are we not overly preoccupied with this controversy, now being used in various ways by grandstanding politicians? It looks to me like the politicians are “fiddling while the economy burns.” Read more.
When I watched the video below i was embarrassed by the audio quality. I hope Jack didn't pay someone to shoot and edit that piece of s**t. Hell Jack I've shot and edited better videos in my sleep. Mr. Conway when I look at videos like the one below, I have to wonder if you're really serious.
Opps, if you're a Tea Party right wing Neocon hoping and searching to find Barack Obama kissing Muslim King Abdullah, you've come to the wrong place and are searching for the wrong President.
We've heard all the silly stuff Rand Paul has done and much of it has reached the main stream media, but when it comes to a real issue that affects every man, woman and child the main stream media remains silent. Crickets.
Fancy Farm is a class act and those of of us that go to Fancy Farm and mingle with other folks from all over Kentucky know it. I suggest if Rand Paul would've stuck around Fancy Farm after his speech he would know it too, but he slipped in and out of the event as fast as he could and now he's using a phony excuse, that he's had to apoligize for saying, as to why he didn't stick around and mingle with the good folks at Fancy Farm.
I realize it's tough to run for the US Senate, especially when you have children and a spouse to consider. I know this because I've been married for 51 years and I understand most of the problems that come with marriage and child raising, however you choose this course and it's time you started acting like a Candidate for the US Senate.
Fancy Farm, Kentucky August 07, 2010. This is the place to be if you're a political junkie like me, and I’m going to do my best to give you a flavor of the event. Please don't expect me to totally fair and balanced, but I will be honest.
Medicare If history is our guide, the Mid-Term election turn out will be low and the folks turning out will be older than the general electorate, and the politicians will try to muddle the election with 30 second commercials filled with BS and no real substance. That's OK, but it's the responsibility of every citizen to do their own research and find out what the candidates really stand for.
