Diogenes would come up empty in DC. I wouldn't give you a warm bucket of [spit] for the whole lot of them. Greed and treachery permeate all layers of the bureaucracy and is destroying the Country.

But what about corporate tax payouts? Or farm subsidies for the largest agribusinesses? The debate "seems" to be about Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Pell Grants, and Head Start because the Republican platform is to slash those programs deeply.

Oh where to begin? First, conservatives want special payouts and breaks for corporations slashed too. Second, a tax cut is not the same as spending. Third, as much as I'd like to see it, no Republican has proposed "slashing" Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, unemployment etc. They have proposed modest cuts or stopping the increase in the rate of growth.

Democrats want the government to tax the rich at higher levels and spend more to support the poor, and Republicans want the opposite.

She slips in that little lie, and then builds her whole case around it.

The money trail leads to the white house and Obama.

Mother Jones doing a pretty contorted dance and paen for her beloved Hillary, who is nobody’s tool. She is a greedy player and a wolf, at that. Still promoting the ‘Romney is rich, therefore evil’ meme, despite stories of Obama’s under-construction Oahu compound costing millions of dollars that no reporter shows any interested in tracing to a source.

Mitt Romney was the son of an auto executive turned governor who grew up to be a gazillionaire in the financial industry.

He didn't "grow up to be a gazillionaire." He started a company, Bain Capital, putting his own capital at risk, and the company became extremely successful. Clearly Mother Jones (and all the other left-wing "Mothers") have a problem with that. They prefer that your fortune be accumulated by shady dealing and bribery while claiming to be performing "public service." (See, "Reid, Harry" and "Clinton, Bill and Hillary.")

Mata Hari Clinton..... Just like the original Mata Hari, Hillary married into the upper class for the free ride to commit her devious deeds....

Must admit, Mata Hari was much more beautiful!!!

Republicans are licking their lips for a year and a half of Hillary-as–Leona Helmsley, flying around in private jets, luxuriating in wealth, and disingenuously pretending to care about the struggles of average Americans. There is, however, one wee problem in the Republican populist plot. That is the policy agenda.

She did the same while on the Board of Directors of Walmart... Make it appear to be one thing while opening the door to China to take over our manufacturing.

“Barack Obama was raised by a financially struggling single mother...”

Yeah right. How about raised by an Indonesian oil executive, then by his bank executive granny? And B0 has a brother George who lives on $30 a month... an Uncle Omar and Aunt Zeituni on public assistance... a sister who died in poverty in Indonesia — he couldn’t make it to the funeral or even send flowers because he was busy being president...

Mother Jones. ROTFL. Like Rolling Stone, it’s a place where old hippies go to die.

The GOPe does not help the Conservative cause with its actions. Jeb Bush is a Romney repeat in terms of wealth and being out of touch with most Americans.

The GOPe “talks” a good game from time to time, but when it comes to cutting subsidies for big corporate agribusinesses (ethanol in Iowa, sugar in Florida), it never does.

Meanwhile, GOPe candidates fall all over themselves to curry favor with Las Vegas magnates and billionaire business families to collect campaign cash. Dependence on these billionaire campaign contributors is going to make it very easy Hillary and the Democrats to repeat the Romney playbook and paint the Republican nominee as insensitive, out of touch with the populace, and beholden to the interests of billionaires.

It would be much better to focus on grassroots campaigning and campaign contributions.

False. Stopped reading right there.
