Maybe if we could do some genetic work and produce a hybrid of Paul and Mosler, using Paul's genes for civil liberties and Moslers ideas on the economy, health care reform, and foreign policy.
+1.

When you seek to turn the hands of time back 80-90 years, you have damn well better understand what life was really like back then.

Small clue; Unicorns didn't exist back then either.

What is the big thing the voter's want to see? Jobs, more jobs, still more jobs.

What is the mantra of the GOP candidates?

We have to get rid of Obama - not a freaking word about jobs.

Guess they are heading for 49 years in the wilderness.

Obama's failures certainly inlclude his (non) performance on jobs (and I don't mean his own in this instance, although he has easily set new lows for that during his dismal term).

I think Obama being gone is pretty much a given. America hasn't become a great country by typically being colossally stupid twice. I have faith that there are enough intelligent American citizens willing to vote this time around to overpower the marginally interested, completely detached, and frankly, dim-witted folks who are still cheering in Obama's corner.

Who were they supposed to vote for? Kerry?

All things considered, sending Bush back for a second term goes in the 'smart' column.

I think that's the same situation we're in now, isn't it? Aren't a lot of 'smart' voters going to look at the crop of Republican nominees and think even less of them then people did of Kerry?

Really? So McConnell and Boehner had nothing to do with the non-performance bit - give me a break.

America used to be a meritocracy, it no konger is, so how is that for being stupid. Dim-witted is thinking that the way to restore America to what it briefly was is to give all the money to 1% and starve the other 99%. We are, or rather were, a consumer driven economy and beggaring the consumer is a sure fire method of tanking the economy.

The same smart column that put us 5.7 trillion in debt so he could give all his rich buddies a tax break.
