Also, lol at her crowing about how NARROWLY she lost to Babs Boxer, you know, a politician who's never got more than 57% of the vote in any election and managed to to pull 53% in one of the biggest Republican wave elections of all time (2010).

There was a time when it really did seem like Boxer could get knocked off, but Fiorina's record at HP doomed her in the end.

That's the widely reported one from Monday. Santorum is currently touring a food tray factory.

Everyone, please look very closely at this sentence. This single sentence is the embodiment of what is wrong with political mantra that is being spouted by candidates today.

Is Santorum going to ask anyone at that....food-tray-factory if the 'American Dream' they sought was working at a food tray factory?

gently caress the notion of the 'American Dream' they espouse, none of that poo poo is worth a drat. I'm pointing out what is sure to be misery finding yourself at a food tray factory when honestly I'd be first in line for a job there if at the very least they offered a salary position.

Babs has never been a great campaigner and has never actually preformed that well in elections. It's really weird for Carly to base her legitimacy as a candidate around losing by a wide margin to someone in a wave election year.

Bernie gets asked about his dual citizenship with Israel, which he denies having. Time for Bernie Birthers! Bernthers.

UPDATE (4:10p.m.)

quote:

"On today's show I made a mistake. Rather than asking Senator and Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders whether he had dual U.S./Israeli citizenship, as I had read in a comment on Facebook, I stated it as fact. He corrected me, saying he did not know where the question came from. I apologized immediately," Rehm said. "I want to apologize as well to all our listeners for having made an erroneous statement. I am sorry for the mistake. However, I am glad to play a role in putting this rumor to rest."

I don't like Diane Rehm. Everyone thinks that because she is on Public Radio she is a progressive or liberal talk show host but, I've always thought she was a stealth conservative who coddles conservative guests.

Oh, and Ben Carson wants the Federal government to go full on 1984 if he becomes President.

quote:

If he's elected president, Republican 2016 presidential Ben Carson said he might set up a "covert division" of government employees to monitor coworkers in order to make government more efficient.

In Iowa on Wednesday, according to MSNBC, Carson said he was "thinking very seriously" about creating "a covert division of people who look like the people in this room, who monitor what government people do."

Employees would work harder if they believed some of their coworkers were secretly spying on them, he added.
