Depends on what "good" is when it comes to winning elections. I think "good" is winning on the issues. When exit polls say that you lost on the main issue but voters just thought you were a nicer guy, that means you won by successfully demonizing your opponent. That doesn't really qualify as good in my book. He was good in 2008. He had a message then. In 2012 he just won by demonizing his opponent and polarizing minorities against society at large.
Lol! Romney didn't really need Obama's help, now did he? He did a bang-up job of demonizing himself.
Glenn B isn't stupid by any stretch of the imagination: He is a little nutty and I think a little annoying, but not stupid. You don't succeed like he has by being stupid...
and they want to send us back to a system of government that oppresses, and a system that has been defeated more than once in human history. When will they learn that government cannot "equalize" society without causing great harm to human achievement, and prosperity? But, that's just it; the left despises prosperity, because some are more prosperous than others, and that isn't "fair."
We don't necessarily have to do 10% but it's the principle. He didn't say if your crops fail, don't give me any tithe or if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithe. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality. You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10 you put in one. Of course you've got to get rid of the loopholes. Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don't need to hurt him. It's that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here building our infrastructure and creating jobs."
That certainly makes sense to me.
