Those who get messages from God don't need to listen to mere mortal underlings. However, the wealthy have been blessed by God, so whatever they say is worth listening to and with a big enough contribution their thoughts are worthy of implementation.

Dang, who can forget the potato thing and those stupid comments about Murphy Brown, Quayle was like the VP version of Georgie II.

Evangelical activists have to choose between Perry, a man, and Bachmann, a women. Doesn't she know that she'll be expected to defer to the man?

Tough?? I thought she came pre-programmed factory ready, and only required a wind up and gentle push.

Bachmann is professionally dressed, presented as a candidate for the highest office in the land. Her unreal actions surrounding the debt ceiling were a prime example of how unfit for office she is.

Shame on these people who are paid to try to sell such a disturbing excuse for a politiician:

Only a competent manager is able to delegate well.

So true. I was thinking along the same line - her ignorance leads to mistrust of those more savvy.

Look - I understand. I'm a contractor - I've worked for a lot of folks not well-grounded in consensus reality. Hell - I even married one.

Bottom line - once you know what you're dealing with - the only rational thing to do is bail...
