Daley, want him to maintain a pragmatic strategy of appealing to independent voters by advocating ideas that can pass Congress, even if they may not have much economic impact. These include free trade agreements and [...] Via Politico: “I think people who have had the same experiences connect with people who have had the same experiences. That’s human nature. If you polled the military, the active duty and veterans, and said ‘would you rather have a president of the United States that never served a day in the military or someone [...] Here’s a quote from the LA Times regarding the Indiana stage collapse tragedy: The National Weather Service in Indianapolis had been tracking the storm for hours and was in close contact with fair officials.

My answer is, if you’re saying a group of people are too easily manipulated through the mechanizations [...] It just occurred to me, though it’s certainly in the realm of “black helicopter” and “tin-foil hat” stuff, that part of why we may not have ended up with a (albeit stupid) $4 trillion dollar deficit reduction package that our illustrious leader wanted (to backstab us with – sorry, did I say that?), is because [...] |
