Her “tear,” note non plural, was manufactured and everyone knows it. Just like her fake southern accent when she was on the campaign trail in that region and just like her phony NY accent when she ran for senator when I was living there.

Blog headline by some wiseguy a few days ago:

“Thousands of New Hampshire Men Promise to Vote for Hillary If She’ll Just Stop Crying.”

Played for a sucker, Doc.

How sincere was she? Well, there’s a reason that the woman whose question evoked Hillary’s watery eyes ended up voting for Obama. (last couple of grafs fo this LATimes piece.) http://urltea.com/2ibj

Hillary is way too resourceful to be not-calculative in her talks, I think. .

I think the lessons learned and subsequent evidence demonstrates the very power of “conversations”, good, bad and indifferent.

Hillary expressed a human emotion that revealed her munaity which connected with “people” Surprised? We shouldn’t be rather we should embrace the truth of human expression and learn from it.

For Hillary the breakthrough was she heard the people respond….hopefully what she learns will transform her humanity…..

Ron Paul. Yeah, he’s got some weird ideas, but he’s more right than wrong. Chiefly, we need to make the federal government small again. If monopoly corporations are bad, then monopoly (federal) government is bad. If competition is good for customers, it’s even better for the states to have to compete for citizens.

But you’ll have to vote libertarian this fall, because the Republicrats would never nominate the likes of a Paul.

I may be overly cynical, but the first thought that came to my mind was the old quote about how once you can fake sincerity, you’ve got it made.

Hillary has done too many “slick” things for way too long at this point to even register as human in my book.

There are a lot of things simultaneously going wrong in this country, with causes ranging from debasement of our currency, to insane foreign policies, to an empire rotting from it’s core. It’s going to take more than a slick marketer who happens to poll well to fix it.

We need to bite the bullet, add a 100% tariff on all imported fossil fuels, and get the heck out of the rest of the worlds business.

If we can figure out how to make our currency convertible once again, to stop inflation dead, this would be another dose of medicine that would be quite bitter, but good for us in the long run. I guestimate it would have to happen at about the $2000/ounce mark in order for the market forces to make it happen… which would mean we’d all take a 55% hit in the value of our dollars, once, instead of the same thing inevitably happening over the next 5-10 years

The shit’s hitting the fan, we’ve had our Homer Simpson president… now we need some real onces to clean up the mess, and get the powdered white substances off the controls.

I weep for our future.
