The American voter seems to like Ann Romney better than Mittwit...that's why we've been seeing her a lot lately accompanying and introducing Romney during his campaign speeches. She seems more personable and genuine than Romney himself, and Romney realizes this.

Bobert, I agree. Romney's doing all that he can to appeal to the far right, including a pilgrimage to Falwell College. (aka Liberty U) It would make sense to pick someone moderate as his running mate.

As far as cynicism is concerned, I seen nothing wrong in Little Hawk or others presenting the world as it is, to this forum.

Surely the really cynical, are those who being in posession of these facts, still promote the idea that the system can somehow be repaired?

It is not only the economic and social system which has become corrupt and redundant, but the huge swathe of people who are "converted" to the religion of money.....and the belief that it is a problem solver, when we can all see the problems that it creates.

Competition in life or sport is never fair, and we are about to be exploited by the powerful, just as we have always exploited the weak.

Don't get me wrong. Naomi Klein is one very bright woman, and she pretty well knows what's going on in the world. Among other things, she is a regular columnist in The Nation magazine, and I read her regularly.

Rethinking it, I'm not all that sure that she really did get the wrong end of the stick. I think some of her readers did, though.

Example:   once again, Little Hawk fastens on the idea that all our political leaders, and we as well, are being manipulated like puppets. And, I think, like a fundamentalist Christian combing through the Bible and cherry-picking verses to support what he believes he believes, there are those who will read what Naomi Klein wrote in "The Shock Doctrine," conclude (yet again!) that "the fix is in," and that nothing can be done about it.

If Naomi Klein truly believed that, she probably wouldn't have bothered to write the book.

The book WAS written a few years ago. One should really keep up with what she's been writing lately.

Hi McGrath

I reset my cookie. Still on the road though!

The source I found had West saying that he had "heard" that xxx to xxx members etc.

Outrageous - Gawd yes. I just think repeating stupidity is not quite as bad as advocating stupidity.

And anybody in the public eye should be smart enough to make sure the brain is in gear before releasing the clutch on the mouth.

I read Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" a few years ago, after hearing her being interviewed on my local NPR affiliate. A lot of good points, but she did get the wrong end of the stick on a number of issues.

I heard a good quote this morning. Can't remember who it's attributed to:

"Cynicism is a luxury indulged in by people who don't want to get involved."

Guest Marks-

You may have been on the road too long. Here are Rep. Allen West's recent comments about the Progressive Caucus in Washington:

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla) gave a characteristically energetic speech at a town hall event Tuesday evening, where he estimated that around 80 U.S. Representatives are Communist Party members.

After one person asked him about "card-carrying" Marxists in Congress, West responded to those who brushed aside the query.

"No, it's a good question," he said, adding: "I believe there is about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party."

West is way over the top, and would certainly reinforce Romney's appeal to the far right extremists.

The recent history of vice presidents has been one of picking assassin deterrents.

I can see in my minds eye dozens of would be killers with a Bush or Obama in their sights lowering their guns and walking away when they realized that their action would only put a Quayle or Cheney or Biden in the White House.

It is like the old joke about the two men running from the bear. One guy says, we can't outrun a bear. The other guy says, I just have to outrun you.

I know what you are all thinking "what about Al Gore?" Gore was TOO much like Clinton, except that he was less entertaining.

"I don't bother answering belligerent, hostile, insulting questions from individuals who are completely unwilling to show any respect or goodwill to those with whom they disagree on some political or religious or other matter. If you can't control your own temper or rise above having such a vicious attitude toward people you disagree with, why should I talk to you? Would I approach a snarling dog to talk to it?"

I am familiar with the book "Shock Doctrine." There is nothing in it that says that the current President has replaced the troops that were withdrawn from Iraq with mercenaries. That was libelous bullshit on your part. Libelous bullshit that is far too common. There is nothing in what Akenoten posted that confirms your wild accusation. I repeat the question. If OBAMA has replaced 120,000 fighting men and women withdrawn from Iraq with mercenaries, how many mercenaries are there and how many have duties other than guarding embassy personel and property?

You are the barking dog of this forum. A little yipping toy dog arf arf arfing at the foot of every conversation about certain topics. Too busy talking to educate on current US politics, you simply ASSUME that the graphs drawn your mind from the dribs and drabs of paranoid screeds that you have glanced at over the course of your life have continued apace. You have no evidence. You have given this no real thought. You just bark.

You are mocking adult conversations with your childish antics. Your "Chongo" writings are just another example of this mockery. You insult the members you talk to and this whole forum when you pretend to engage in conversation, when you pretend that you have the first clue what you are talking about. But mockery is your only purpose, disruption your only goal.

I knew you couldn't respond to my very reasonable question as to the numbers of mercenaries and their duties. I knew that you would find an excuse to evade the question. That is what bullshitters who get caught do.

Be warned. I know what you are doing, so does most of the forum.
