Santorum is a “flavor-of-the-minute”.

Romney? But, but… Santorum!

Straw poll indicates conservatives like conservative stuff.

CPAC has been an absolute joy this year, more so than last year. It’s quite wonderful to see the GOP finally shed the last bit of dignity they had remaining to whole-heartedly embrace their darkest, most racist beliefs.

5 freetoken  Sat, Feb 11, 2012 1:34:34pm

According to the pollster’s own numbers, the activists at CPAC are less concerned with social issues than self-declared conservatives nationally.

6 Gus  Sat, Feb 11, 2012 1:35:54pm

Yep. Looks like their favorite choice for VP is the zealot, Marco Rubio.

7 jaunte  Sat, Feb 11, 2012 1:36:09pm

Remains to be seen if Marco Rubio wants to tie himself to Lead Weight 2012.

Yeah. If he accepts it will end any of his future chances. So it’s a big gamble for him. Romney or Santorum lose in November? He can forget about a comeback. That’s been a historical reality.

9 Kragar  Sat, Feb 11, 2012 1:38:30pm

I’m thinking we’ll see a Romney/Santorum ticket in some shape or form.

10 Targetpractice  Sat, Feb 11, 2012 1:38:41pm

They clap at a chart showing that, even at this point in the primary race, 20% of the party’s voters are still listed as “undecided.” And I still heard plenty of boos amongst the cheering.

Harley-Davidson Loaned $2.3 Billion from Fed

Documents released by the Federal Reserve disclose who benefited from a government loan program during the financial crisis of 2008. The data shows what companies the Federal Reserve purchased commercial paper from with its Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF). Among those accepting the credit boost was motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson. The Motor Company took the Fed up on its emergency lending on 33 separate occasions in 2008 and 2009 to the tune of $2.3 billion.

re: #127 Obdicut

Okay, repost…

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water supply. After that, I turned the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined what the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log onto the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the Government can’t do anything right.

There is only one person I will call the word in question.

It is a women here who think my Asperger’s Syndrome is a good reason to keep me from talking and telling me to shut up, and generally just being insulting about social issues I have.

I’ve met cruel and mean people in the past. But never anyone like that.

No. Money is super tight these days, so I can’t afford to see them. :(

I’m going to SXSW again, but that’s only because my grad school tuition paid for the pass. I plan on going with business cards, resumes, and comfortable shoes. I finish May 12th, so it would be nice to nail down a full-time gig before then, you know?

re: #136 Slumbering Behemoth

Okay, repost…

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water supply. After that, I turned the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined what the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log onto the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the Government can’t do anything right.

That was all kinds of awesome.
