If I left you out... Sorry!
I’m stuck in a hotel in an undisclosed location deep in BLUE state territory.
I do not have my most recent ping list so I had to use an old one.
To those I left out; a million apologies. When I return to Fortress Babylon I will fix it!
Anyway, here is today’s thread. Enjoy it.

I do hope somebody talks about Warren Buffet apologizing for his prediction that the housing industry would recover in a vacuum while the rest of the economy continues to struggle. And how somebody who thinks that way could end up being so rich. It just doesn't seem fair.
Many sympathies. I will be your neck of the woods all week. Gotta leave today.Thanks for providing the thread.
Thanks for the thread, AB. Escape the blue state when you can.
Thanks for thread, AB
Our prayers are with you being stuck in a blue state...keep your location undisclosed!
May you return to Fortress Babylon soon to the comfort of your Castle. We applaud your dedication to reach us. Keep your powder dry!
Good morning AB, All….
Very windy here in the swamps, where the weather doesn’t know if it should be winter or maybe spring.
As always, thank you AB for doing this thread. This thread becomes increasingly important with the upcoming monumental elections.
I understand Obamer has promised to continue “improving” this country in the next five years, which would include 2012 and the four years AFTER he gets re-elected.
I lie awake shivering at the notion.
But hey, here’s the deal. We purport to live in a country where the citizens’ will be carried out. America elected Obamer oncit, maybe that was a mistake. But if we elect him again then we, by “we” I mean us Freepers and the like, can do nothing but accept that the majority shall rule and the majority has chosen the Obamer route.
As much as deep in my soul I don’t believe America WANTS to go the way of Obamer, what matters and is tangible is how the citizenry votes. If the citizenry put him back into power then there’s not much more that can be done.
We don’t even have an opposition party now, not even with the 2010 massacre and message to bolster. After Obamer wins the Republican party shall essentially be no more.
Santorum on ABC with George S. George puts up polls showing Santorum vs. Romney race tightening to a dead heat.
George plays the No Child Left Behind comments - politics is a team sport, then points out Romney’s comments - “Santorum is playing for the wrong team.” Santorum points out that ROmney still supports the NCLB program, along with govt run healthcare, etc.
George asks Santorum about not supporting bailing out the auto industry. Santorum defends free markets.......gives example of steel industry in PA not receiving bailouts, the steel industry is still there, but it is different. (He did a pretty good job explaining this position, IMO)
Accuses Romney of an Occupy WallStreet mentality with his tax plans -
On Afghanistan and four Americans that were killed. Serious problems with Karzai govt. THis is unacceptable...this was just a mistake - no apology should have ever have been given. George asks why not if it was a mistake? Santorum responds it shows weakness, lends credibility that it was something more than a mistake.
On education, George plays clip where Santorum says obama is a snob for thinking every American should go to college. Santorum says it devalues those who chose not to go. santorum said to Glen Beck that he understands why obama wants every kid to go to college for a year because they are indoctrination think tanks. George is so concerned saying santorum makes it sound like there is something wrong with going to college.
George plays clip of Santorum about Kennedy’s speech - made him want to throw up. Santorum responds it is the first line of the speech in which Kennedy said he believed in the ABSOLUTE seperation of church and state. IOW, for the first time, a presidents had stated that faith had no business in govt/the public square.
(Uh-oh, George is getting Santorum off in the faith arguments. He was doing pretty well, but he has engaged Rick at this point, and Santorum is going off topic.) - my opinion, only.
Rick has a car in the Daytona 500? Did not know that. lol, it’s a Ford!
You did fine. Thanks for the thread. Escape safely.
