The straw polls (and polling) so far show Romney staying fairly constant at around a quarter of the Republican vote (23% to 25%). The other candidates fortunes ebb and flow as the anti-Romney Republicans search for ANY viable candidate. That’s why there were the` desperate pleas for Christie to enter the race.
As for the poll leaders, first it was Bachman, then it was Perry, now it’s Cain. Each enters the scene like a roman candle, heading quickly upwards in the polls highlighted by a trail of brightly-colored sparks, only to quickly reach a zenuth, give one last little “pop”, and drop back to the ground. They give and take votes from each other, but none seem able to poach from Romney’s base.
The problem for the Republicans is that their Evangelical base is going to have a REALLY HARD time supporting Romney. They’ve preached (literally) for years how important it was to have a devout Christian in the White House, and they don’t consider Mormonism to be a Christian religion. They also insisted that their candidate must have the appropriate Pro-Life credentials, but Romeny has trouble in that area, too. If the Evangelicals DO turn around and support Romney after he becomes the nominee, they will have to completely turn their backs on some 30 years of their “values” in order to do so, and just admit at that point that their justifications were just smoke and mirrors, that they really are just voting for Republicans based on party labels.
Note that up until this past week, Perry and Bachman pretty much had the Evangelical wing cornered between the two of them, with about 10% of the Republican vote each. Combined, this is within striking distance of Romney. If one or the other drops out and makes a deal to swing their support over to the other, then Romney might have a problem.
If Cain somehow overcomes all the other obsticles and becomes the nominee, they will have a similar problem with the racist componant within their own party. I’ve never said that a majority of Republicans are racists, but I HAVE said that the Republicans are more than happy to bring racists into their “big tent”, and feed their fears and bigotry if it buys their support.
If Cain is the nominee, it means a small percentage of the Republican party will simply choose not to vote when it becomes the race is between two black men.

# 19: The right-wingers would be surprised at how many of us know how to shoot. I was in my first marksmanship competition at age eight, and at age fifteen I was a marksman on the M-14 in JRTC. I’ve shot a wide variety of rifles and shotguns, but pistols never interested me much. And don’t forget that Roger Rabbit and quite a few other veterans are liberals who know how to handle an M16 and other assorted implements of destruction.
I’ve never been in favor of abolition of an individual’s right to own guns, I just believe in reasonable regulations. For home safety, you don’t want a rifle or a pistol, you want a shotgun – that way the stray rifle bullet doesn’t go through the walls and kill the neighbors. Even so, the odds are more likely that the gun will be stolen from you while you aren’t at home, or taken from you before you can shoot, or you will end up killing your own kids, or your kid’s teenage friends sneaking in or out of the house after hours.
And if anybody really needs an automatic assault rifle with 200 rounds to hunt wild game, they obviously don’t have the requisite marksmanship skills needed to be a hunter, and should just stay home and watch the hunting shows in TV while drinking beer.

Parallels: The Birth Of Recycling And The Occupy Movement
My final item in this morning’s news roundup involves this MSNBC story about Harrisburg, Pennsylvania filing for municipal bankruptcy.
Harrisburg is the state capital and similar in size to Olympia — about 46,000 people. The town fathers opted for Chapter 9 bankruptcy to fend off a threatened state takeover — that’s like our goveror or legislature seizing control of Olympia’s city government — and the people there are having none of it.
Here’s why the city is mired in debt:
“The cash-strapped state capital of 46,000 people is mired in debt of more than $300 million, including $83 million in past due payments, much of it stemming from the construction of an incinerator.”
http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.co.....-headaches
Which brings me to a bit of Seattle and King County history. Let’s start with this quote from Wikipedia’s biography of former Seattle mayor Charles Royer:
“He oversaw a number of improvements in the city, including a recycling program that is recognized as the best in the nation.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Royer
This is bullshit. Mrs. Rabbit and I deserve more — immensely more — credit for the city and county’s recycling programs than Royer does. The truth is that Royer wanted to build a giant waste-to-energy plant (i.e., incinerator) in South Seattle, of the sort that bankrupted Harrisburg, and was a bitter opponent of recycling. Seattle and King County have recycling programs because they were shoved down Royer’s unwilling throat.
In case you don’t remember Royer, he was a local TV news personality before he became a politician (sound familiar?) and eventually became Seattle’s longest-serving mayor (3 terms, 12 years) before trotting off to some Harvard think tank.
Seattle’s recycling program was born at a kitchen table in a south Seattle home. There were 8 people sitting around that table, and two of them had long pointy pink ears. In short order, a 9th person joined that group — the now-legendary “honorary mayor of Fremont”, Armen Stepanian, whose face graces the dog in Fremont’s “Waiting For The Interurban” sculpture. Mrs. Rabbit and I knew Armen well, because he worked with our group throughout the five or six years that we fought the battle to stop Charlie Royer’s incinerator.
To stop that incinerator from being built, we had to come up with an alternative. Someone sitting at that table — I no longer remember who — spoke the word “recycling.” That was the moment when Seattle’s recycle program was born. King County later followed behind Seattle’s example.
Our tiny group of neighborhood residents recruited a community group known as the Southeast Seattle Community Association (or something like that; these events occurred over 30 years ago and I no longer remember all the details). They had a couple of paid full-time staffers who were trained activists. Their help in organizing the pro-recycling campaign was invaluable. They also helped get the big environmental groups and other large grassroots activist groups the cause.
It took tons of hard work. Mrs. Rabbit and I, and other activists, spent five years attending meetings, doorbelling, going to public hearings, lobbying public officials, etc., on an almost daily basis. It was a gargantuan effort that consumed our free time for years on end. But it was worth it, because we won.
Believe me when I say Royer did not want recycling. He wanted his incinerator. City Hall was dead-set opposed to our recycling campaign. We won because recycling was such an obviously good idea — and the incinerator was such an obviously bad idea — that once we got the ball rolling it became an irresistible force.
To put our 1980 – 1986 recycling campaign in perspective, at that time no large U.S. city had a recycling program. This was an experimental idea. We took our model from Sweden. In those early days, we organized our effort around an optimistic target of someday recycling 28% of Seattle’s residential and commercial trash. Nobody thought we would ever get to 35%. But today Seattle’s recycling rate is approaching 54% and city officials say the city will reach 60% within a few years.
To put this accomplishment in perspective, Seattle was the first major city in the U.S. to institute a large-scale recycling program. Seattle is the model and leader for all other U.S. cities when it comes to municipal recycling. All of this happened because of eight ordinary citizens. Those six people and two rabbits are the godfathers and godrabbits of all U.S. municipal recycling — it began with us.
I’m telling this story because of the obvious parallel to what is now happening in public squares across the U.S. and around the world. What we did to Charlie Royer’s incinerator 30 years ago, the Occupy protesters are now attempting to do to the culture of corporate greed that has swamped our society and is drowning 99% of our citizens. Sometimes a handful of people can start a revolution that changes history and reshapes society. It’s been done before. It can work this time, too.

Demonstrations have a role in mass movements but ultimately you’ve got to win hearts and minds and turn it into concrete action at the ballot box.
I hope the Occupy movement morphs into what capitalists might refer to as a “restructuring” of our political and economic systems. When power and wealth have concentrated too much, and the abuses and excesses of the rich and powerful have gone too far, that’s what is needed. Far from being anti-capitalist, this type of renewal is an integral part of the free-market system and is essential to capitalism’s survival. A century ago, when monopolies got too big and powerful, popular outcry led to the government breaking them up. What followed was a burst of innovation and growth. Today’s ossified economy needs the same kind of restructuring. Corruption and cronyism are now so deeply entrenched, and a tiny cabal of corporatists and money manipulators are taking so much of the nation’s output for themselves, that we now need the same kind of fundamental restructuring of the economy and society. It’s time, once again, to break up the great fortunes and the power they exercise, and to return control over America’s wealth to those who create it: America’s workers.
This obviously will be a long-term project requiring immense effort by countless people. But it’s been done before, and it can be done again. We’re still a democracy, and it works because, at the end of the day, you have the same number of votes at the ballot box that Charlie Koch or Larry Fink does.

This story really opens my eyes. I had no idea of what was going on. I’ll bet you didn’t either. But now, having seen this story, I finally understand that America is rising in full-scale revolt against our dishonest and corrupt financial system that enriches 1% at the expense of the 99%, and this revolution is now inevitable.
Roger Rabbit spews:
“A North Carolina community college student who was banned from campus after complaining about being forced to use a school-branded debit card has been reinstated.
“Reversal of the decision leaves a critical question unanswered, however: Why are schools around the country forcing students to get … MasterCard-branded debit cards laden with booby-trap fees?”
http://redtape.msnbc.msn.com/_.....reinstated
Roger Rabbit Commentary: Because schools make money from these debit cards. So does Mastercard. The students are the victims. Here’s how the scam works:
“Bechtol complained last spring that school was forcing him to obtain a debit card issued by financial firm Higher One, and that his personal information would be shared with the company. … Higher One works with hundreds of schools to create combination student ID cards/debit cards that can be used for direct deposit of financial aid funds. … There have been frequent complaints that the school cards carry higher fees than traditional ATM cards.”
Not only that, but if students try to avoid these ripoff fees by not using the cards, they get hit with a $19 “non-use” fee.
This college kid got banned from the campus for two semesters for posting a comment on Facebook critical of the school’s policy of forcing its students to get these cards.
If these thin-skinned school administrators had tried to pull this kind of shit on my generation they would have Molotov cocktails flying through their office windows. Some of the baby boomers blew up buildings for less than this. (See, e.g., Bill Ayers & Co.)
Now why aren’t the wingers who complain about being forced to buy health insurance rising up in arms against colleges that force students to get and use high-fee debit cards as a condition of being allowed on campus?
Roger Rabbit spews:
Think about it: A debit card is now embedded in your student ID card. You are required to use this debit card to access your financial aid. But you are charged an exorbitant fee if you use it, and you are charged an exorbitant fee if you don’t use it, and you are expelled from school and banned from campus if you criticize it.
I’m having a hard time understanding why our campuses aren’t smoldering ruins. Why is there still a single building standing at colleges that do this to their students? Is this generation of college students a bunch of pussies? This is what going to college in the Sixties looked like:

I think we should register CVCC’s address with every porn site known to man. Anyone know any good viruses to send them?” he wrote, according to the letter FIRE published.
Yep, that got him kicked off campus for two semesters, delaying his graduation by a full year.
I know perfectly well that our entire society has degenerated into a corrupt crony system for the personal profit of a handful of utterly dishonest people who are devoid of conscience or scruples. I’m also aware that the college financial aid system has turned into a gigantic money-printing machine for greedy banksters — as of today, student loan debt exceeds credit card debt in the U.S.
Think about this: You’re told you can’t succeed in this country without a degree. You’re financially exploited at every step of getting that degree. But after you graduate, there are no jobs, just bill collectors on your doorstep trying to collect those high-interest student loans that are just a good deal for the greedy banksters and such a bad deal for you.
I know where the Occupy movement is going. The ultimate result of this political revolution is going to be a massive writeoff of overpriced loans that never should have been written in the first place. That’s what it’s going to take to save the U.S. economy, and if it doesn’t get done in bankruptcy courts because special interests have gotten a corrupt Congress to make these loans non-bankruptable, then they’re going to get written off in the streets. One way or another, the financial class that got rich by skinning the populace are going to get skinned themselves.

Btw, have you noticed that, if you go by his record as governor, the guy that’s going to be running for president representing the right half of the political spectrum is the same as or maybe a little to the left of Obama?

For blockheads like “pudge” and Mark Griswold who can’t divine what Occupy is about, this might help:
“Americans had become shockingly complacent in the face of outrageous inequality and injustice, seeming to defend the special rights of yacht-owning ‘job creators’ while swallowing the notion that millions of our fellow citizens can be both working and poor. …
“That we’re now having a public debate about inequality and the ugly road to nowhere on which many hardworking Americans are traveling suggests that, whatever Occupy’s ultimate agenda, the process of movement building — the fact of its existence — may be its essential point.
“Social movements spring up not to achieve narrow policy goals but to shift the broader public debate, mobilizing public will toward change.
“Polls show this movement’s message against corporate greed not only has wider support than either political party in Washington but wider support than the tea party. ‘Occupy’ protests are springing up in unlikely places, from Idaho to Indiana, and drawing unlikely protesters like soccer moms, small-business owners and, yes, tea party members. That you’re even reading this column is evidence the protests are making a mark.”

It was libtardos like crock of liars who attacked Tea Party people when they arrived for Glenn Beck’s 9/12 project. Except they were peaceful. There were no police confrontations. There was no littering. No sex in public displays. No cursing out police. No arrests. They left the park cleaner than it was before they arrived.
It was liberals who tried to get Beck’s meeting permit canceled. Has any conservative done this? Watching the interviews we see fools screaming for violence. We see fools screaming for violent revolution. We see fools being fools. No coherent message until the unions appeared earlier this week.

@88 It’s much more fun to tell Mittens what a wishy-washy flip-flopper he is. The Inevitable Republican Nominee (TM) — who will be the nominee only because the GOPers have NO ONE else — stands for nothing. If you vote for him and he somehow gets elected, you will get Obama’s foreign policy.
“When, for example, would Mr Romney bring the troops home from Afghanistan? Ah, that would depend on ‘the best recommendation of our military commanders’: in his first 100 days there would be ‘a full inter-agency review’. Well then, what about Iraq? Good question, but it is ‘impossible to predict’ whether American troops will be required in Iraq when he becomes president in 2013. … Iran? Like Barack Obama, Mr Romney declares that a nuclear Iran is ‘unacceptable’. He would send aircraft-carriers to the region to make clear ‘that a military option … remains on the table’. Meanwhile he would tighten sanctions and build defences against Iranian missiles (present American policy in a nutshell). Russia? President Romney would ‘review’ the New START treaty and the other arms-control policies of the Obama administration ‘to determine whether they serve the best interests’ of the United States. China seeks hegemony, but Mr Romney will use carrots and sticks to guide it towards responsible global citizenship. …
“[H]owever you tart it up, [his] message … makes a nonsense of the Grand Old Party’s shrill disparagement of the incumbent president’s foreign policy. As the Republicans tell it, Mr Obama has spent his presidency projecting weakness, leading from behind, apologising for America, denying American exceptionalism and throwing Israel under a bus. … Mr Obama has made mistakes in foreign policy, but not the ones the Republicans harp on. ‘Leading from behind’ may turn out to have been a cost-effective way to help America’s allies dispose of Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi. Mr Obama got nowhere in Palestine, but pushing for a two-state solution based on the 1967 border was longstanding American policy, not a betrayal of the Jewish state. The oft-repeated claim that he does not believe in America’s exceptionalism leans on selective quotation from a press conference in which he made it perfectly plain that he did.”
http://www.economist.com/node/21532301
Roger Rabbit Commentary: What it all boils down to is that President Flip-Flopper would build a couple more Navy warships a year. Otherwise, his foreign policy will be identical to Obama’s. At least Obama is a known quantity, however inadequate. With Romney, the only thing you’re sure to get is continued profligate spending on defense at the expense of taking care of our own citizens plus a little verbal saber-rattling now and then.

Puddy’s comparison of OWS to the Tea Party is funny, particularly in contrast to the debate about the supposedly liberal media. See here for a nice chart. Note how the OWS protest had gone on for two weeks before the media coverage surpassed what the Tea Party movement got on day 1.
This generally proves two things:
1) The notion that the media have a liberal bias is a lie. It’s a complete and utter fabrication. Were it not a lie, then OWS would have had more media coverage than the Tea Party movement from the get-go.
2) OWS is a true grass-roots movement, and the Tea Party is an astroturf movement. The only way a true grass roots movement actually generates any media coverage is when they start clashing with the police. Nobody pays any attention until then.

Well you are a libtardo and memory issues abound due to your mental disorder.
Puddybud, who read how Mr DISGUSTING "I live off the net" all day spews:
For what Don Joe? You seem to forget the libtardo MSM hates anything conservative. So they immediately started covering the Tea Party telling the world how racist it was because it disagreed with Barack ObamAA+. The HA dumb cinder block rujax went from thread to thread calling anyone who disagreed with Barack ObamAA+ a racist! Need to see the rujax evidence again? I surely don’t. The boy is a dope!
Now jump forward to this week. Who does the libtardo MSM put front and center to attack Herman Cain?
1) Danny Glover
2) Harry Deo Belafonte
3) Cornel West
4) Tavis SMiley
5) DL Hughley
6) Morgan Freeman
7) Al Sharpton
Why? Because Herman ain’t on the DUMMOCRAPTIC reservation and the libtardo MSM doesn’t know what to do with him. He doesn’t fit their stereotype just like the Tea Party (a bunch of racists per the libtardo MSM) backing Cain doesn’t fit their racist stereotype!
So why is this Don Joe? You leftists want… no, you NEED minorities women, blacks, hispanics to need and lean on government. You libtards have long claimed since the early 60s that y’all represent blacks better than the conservatives ever could. Yet we’re still in the same poverty while you whites have gotten richer and richer and richer. Somehow the dumb cinder block rujax can’t see that.
I saw it when I left Philly and grew up. You allow two or three poverty pimps to rally the black troops for every election year. and we all know who they are. Both failed at getting the DUMMOCRAPT presidential nomination. Enter Herman Cain. Herman Cain will peel off 33% of the black vote because he asks what has a DUMMOCRAPT done for you over time? Are you better off jock strapping them?

“For what Don Joe?”
For facts, Puddy. You know, the stuff upon which reasonable people base their conclusions.
“You seem to forget the libtardo MSM hates anything conservative.”
You can’t “forget” something that’s not true.
“So they immediately started covering the Tea Party telling the world how racist it was because it disagreed with Barack ObamAA+.”
When Ron Paul gets up and says, “we get to go to Washington and take back our government,” exactly who has taken the government away in the first place? Did Ron Paul, or anyone else in the Tea Party movement, complain about the fact that George Bush started with a budget surplus and left with a huge budget deficit? Did anyone complain about George Bush fighting two wars of choice on a credit card financed by our children’s future? Why did these issues suddenly become a concern when a black guy got elected President, Puddy?
When John Boehner pines for the days when he grew up, what, exactly, is he pining for? That was before the civil rights movement. So, is John Boehner pining for days when black people had to ride the back of the bus?
I’ve already pointed out that the most controversial part of the most controversial piece of legislation to cross Pres. Obama’s desk was an idea originally cooked up by the Heritage Foundation. Half of Obama’s stimulus package consisted of ideas Republicans themselves had proposed just a scan few years ago. In every significant way, ObamaCare is RomneyCare.
Yet Republicans now repudiate every one of the policy proposals that they had, not too long ago, supported, and all we hear from the Tea Party crew is “socialist” this and “socialist” that.
The main stream media is talking about racism, because it’s inherent in just about everything that folks in the Republican Party have done and said since Obama got elected. So, when Herman Cain, who clearly didn’t do jack shit during the Civil Rights movement, wants to lecture people on what is and what is not racism, and the main stream media cover the backlash against that, you want to take that as evidence that the main stream media is biased?! What the fuck planet do you live on, Puddy? It sure ain’t the real planet we live on.

“The data demonstrates otherwise yet Don Joe will continue to argue against the facts.”
No, Puddy, the data is here, and the only one who hasn’t responded to their conclusions is you. Just so you know precisely what the fuck I’m talking about, here’s their conclusion:
By the way, Puddy, if the main stream media were really interested in having a productive conversation on race, Dr. Joy DeGruy would be a household name. They clearly aren’t, which is neither liberal nor conservative. It’s just white.

With Puddy, it’s likely to extend on to infinity. Puddy ignores the fact that there is such a thing as a conservative Democrat, and Puddy ignores the fact that attempts to discern media bias in actual reporting find no evidence of such bias.
So, now, we get the Herman Cain argument:
“Notice how he weasels out of Herman Cain. Won’t repudiate how the left wrong MSM will not use conservative blacks on their shows.”
I guess we have to ignore the fact that, say, Rachel Maddow regularly features Michael Steele on her show. No, what Puddy’s really on about is that Herman Cain accused African Americans of being brainwashed, and the mainstream media are covering the inevitable backlash against his remarks.
What’s missing, apparently, is any word of conservative African Americans coming to Herman Cain’s defense. But, where, exactly are these conservative African Americans coming to Herman Cain’s defense? Michael Steele telling Herman Cain to get off the book tour?
No media, mainstream or otherwise, is going to talk to someone who has nothing to say. Nevertheless, there are clearly plenty of media outlets where conservative African Americans can respond to Herman Cain’s allegation of brainwashing. Where are they? You can’t find any.
So, the main stream media are “liberal” because they won’t stick a microphone in front of someone who isn’t saying anything!
Seriously, this is precisely the kind of reasoning we can expect from someone who’s been willing to argue that Alan Greenspan was a liberal.

@145 “stupid or lying?”
Ooh, ooh, I know the answer to that one!!
At the level of trolldom, and most especialy at the lowest level of self-loathing loons and goatfucking Klowns, these treasonous, hate-filled asswipes are incredibly stupid fucking liars. So the correct answer is actually not offered as a choice, which would “all of the above”.

Why some self-loathing loon who has this kind of shit hanging around his neck would blather on and on and on about some fuck named Cass, whoever the fuck that is, beats the hell out of me.

Hundreds of wingnut pervs. If they can’t find a kid, these freaks will fuck goats, chickens, horses, washing machines(!) and Lord only knows what else. And that’s only the ones who’ve been busted! I’d think that, if a freak like our self-loather could even momentarily come to his senses, he’d stop his incoherent babbling, hang his damned head in shame for a moment, and then graciously blow his fucking brains out. But no, a loon has no fucking sense.

@153 – They all seem to be heterosexuals too. Good thing we are always reminded of the Family Values that they don’t have. Oh I guess not, just a bunch of homos who are anti homo.
