LYRICS:

We got the kind of love that people write songs about
And in the morning when I wake up I’m so happy that it freaks me out

And I’ve never felt this way
We’re perfect in every single way

Don’t f**k it up
Don’t f**k it up
We got a good thing going
Baby don’t f**k it up

Your kiss is on my list and I don’t ever wanna cross it off
And once you get me g-g-going girl you make it impossible to stop, yeah

And I know you feel it too
It doesn’t have to be too good to be true

Don’t f**k it up
(Baby baby don’t let me down)
Don’t f**k it up
(Listen to me I ain’t kidding around)
We got a good thing going
Baby don’t f**k it up

This is awesome and you know it
So baby try not to blow it
‘Cause this’ll only happen once or twice

Don’t f**k it up
(Baby baby don’t let me down)
Don’t f**k it up
(Listen to me I ain’t kidding around)
We got a good thing going
Baby don’t f**k it up
Don’t f**k it up
(I’m sorry if it sounds a little profane)
Don’t f**k it up
(No other words really say it the same)
We got a good thing going
Baby don’t f**k it up

One of America’s most powerful and outspoken opponents of climate change regulation received election campaign contributions that can be traced back to senior BP staff, including chief executive Bob Dudley.

Jim Inhofe, a Republican senator from Oklahoma who has tirelessly campaigned against calls for a carbon tax and challenges the overwhelming consensus on climate change, received $10,000 (£6,700) from BP’s political action committee (PAC).

I think Walker goes with a Senator or “respected elder statesman” type to beef up his FP creds. If the Dem nominee is Hillary which would be my bet at this point, they’re going to want someone with FP experience so Walker’s inexperience in that arena doesn’t become a distraction. I agree with you though. I’ve been feeling the nominee will be Walker for some time because I think he’s the only candidate that can appeal to both the so-con base and Mr. Monopoly wing.

Why do they need foreign policy experience when the policy is going to be:

Interesting. I don’t read him on a regular basis but I think it’s a good argument given Walker’s record and actions. Plus I think Walker will present himself as a “winner” in that he’s won three governor races in a blue presidential state in the age of Obama. I feel Bush’s undoing will not be having run for any office in well over a decade now.

Yeah if Jeb was any other former two term governor and not his father’s son and his brother’s brother, he’d be in good shape. But his name is going to burn him in the end.

44 HappyWarrior  Mar 22, 2015 4:51:41pm

Conversely I think Hillary whose qualifications for the job are without question can and should go with someone a bit younger. I’ve made no secret of the fact I like current HUD secretary and former mayor of San Antonio, Julian Castro. His DNC speech was impressive. He’s someone who has both experience running a major area. San Antonio has a population of 1,400,000 people which is actually even more people than lived in Sarah Palin’s Alaska and furthermore he’s presently administering a cabinet department so he’s got some Washington experience. And the big cherry for Castro I think is that he’s young, likable, and charismatic. However, I would not be surprised if he wants a run at Ted Cruz’s Senate seat in 2018 or the governor race that same year. But if I were Hillary, I’d look at someone like that. Cory Booker also fits that bill in that he’s a former administrative type who is both young and in Washington at the moment.

47 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge  Mar 22, 2015 5:00:46pm

I think optics are important. I think Hillary will pick a running mate (O’Malley? Castro?) who’s younger and looks good as a possible successor, after her term or if something should happen to her during her (hopefully two term) tenure.

The Walker dynamic is just exactly backwards. If he picks some older, wiser (hah!) head as a counterweight to his inexperience and naiveté that person is going to have the same questions about their age 8 years down the line as Hillary does now. It just shows poor planning and unconcern about the future. Not that the GOP base cares about any of those things, but the mushy middle might.

Walker is too milquetoast to get the nomination, in spite of all his union busting. Also, calling the firing of a bunch of American air traffic controllers Reagan’s greatest foreign policy achievement makes him look like a tool.

Cruz won’t win because he’s a fucking lunatic. The Freepers might love him, but the rest of the country doesn’t. My money is on someone like Bush or Christie. All the rest of the loons (Paul, Cruz, Walker, Carson, etc.) will split the base allowing an establishment candidate to walk away with the nod.

Do you think that’s because the CUban-American experience differs from your average Hispanic American’s experience i.e. the fact that Cubans have had the special privilege of the wet policy and the fact that they do tend to as both Cruz and Rubio illustrate more conservative than the Hispanic community as a whole. What a lot of people don’t realize though is the Hispanic community is quite diverse.

It makes sense and frankly while I have great empathy for the Cubans escaping the Castro regime, I never liked the wet policy because I thought it was playing favorites when there are and were other immigrant groups escaping equally if not more so despotic regimes. The Cubans though are an unique group as we got at. I think even with someone like Cruz or Rubio on the ballot, the right Democratic candidate and campaign style could manage to win them over. The younger Cuban-Americans are trending Democratic and Obama beat Romney among them in 2012. The more anti-immigrant the GOP as a whole becomes/stays, the more Cuban-Americans will re-evaluate the GOP- guys like Cruz and Rubio with standing of course.

I’m trying to enforce my will upon my body and continue on my weight-loss journey. Mrs. Fish has dropped a bunch of weight and she was able to fit comfortably into her skinny jeans. She’s still as much a sexy curvy woman as she ever was, but … DAMN.

It is delicious. For my 30th, Mrs. Fish bought huge buckets of KFC fried chicken, some of their gravy, a pile of cheese curds from the local market and baked some frozen French fries. So I had poutine and fried chicken for my birthday celebration. It was awesome.

This is one of the greatest steaming piles of wingnut magical thinking I’ve read today. Point and laugh along with me:

It’s not optimism or even an overabundance of wishful thinking to say that Ted Cruz is destined to be President although the underlying fundamentals can certainly generate those feelings.

The projection is based on analysis of voter registration shifts and past performance.

To say he is ‘destined’ is to first observe that he is super intelligent (even the left admits this) IN THE SENSE that he responds naturally with his talents to all situations. By that is meant he is a ‘natural’. He is the one voice that appeals to Conservatives AND INDEPENDENTS, as well as Latinos.

The breakdown by voter group that leads to a President Cruz has been given several times on FR but will be repeated here for those still in doubt.

The key fact that many casual observers miss is there has been a tidal wave shift in voter registrations to INDEPENDENT. Do a search and you will confirm that in 2012 the Independent registrations made up 24% of the electorate and in 2014 this increased to 42%! AND of that 42% the clear majority are Conservative.

Next is to observe the fact that Romney carried the Independent vote in 2012 by only 1% which statistically is not a win; it is a tie at best.

What sunk Romney, as pinpointed in extensive post-election analyses was the ‘Perot’ demographic of 6 million + strong blue collar workers who are very stubborn and will not vote for a GOPe candidate under any circumstance even if the democrats ran the Anti-Christ as their nominee. Those 6 million + refused to pull the lever for Obomney and the result was Obama skated in to a second term. The key takeaway is this demographic is ebullient in passion for Ted Cruz.

Next is to observe the Latino-American demographic (not the illegal elements but those who are legally US citizens). Ted Cruz won 40% of the Latino vote when he ran for office in Texas. The reason is that if Latino-Americans have the choice to vote for a republican or a democrat they will pull the lever for the democrat BUT IF they have the choice between a Latino and a democrat they will pull the lever for the Latino. In other words they vote Latino first and democrat second, and republican rarely. SEIU will boost Latinos to vote for democrats but if there is an Independent or republican Latino on the ticket, many Latinos will vote for the Latino.

Cruz is Latino in their eyes AND MORE INPORTANTLY he is seen as independent from the GOP leadership. That is a crucial observation to make which is to see Ted Cruz as more independent that republican.

The Reagan democrats are registered democrats that vote conservative if there is a Conservative on the ballot. If there is not a Conservative on the ballot then they will vote for a moderate democrat or nothing at all.

Reagan democrats love Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz is mustering the same coalition that Ronald Reagan put together in 1980 and 1984. Nothing can stop such a coalition except for more than ten million illegal votes which is what Executive Amnesty is all about. Executive Amnesty is the game winner for democrats and now that it’s on hold, it provides critical timing for Ted Cruz to solidify the winning Reaganesque coalition.

Realistic and ‘conservative’ calculations put at least 54% of the popular vote in Cruz’ column. The Electoral College pathway is not as easy and the war rooms will be fighting tooth and nail for critical districts in battleground states.

But there is no question that Ted Cruz will win the heart and soul of Americans in 2016.

Some people succeed in politics because they’ve got charisma and are likeable. Folks like GWB and Bill Clinton have that - they’ve got a personal touch and in one-on-one, they take schmoozing to high art.

Then there are those who succeed in politics by out-hustling and out-politicking everyone else. They make up for zero charisma by being the smartest/toughest/roughest/ - est in the room.

Cruz seems to fall into that category. He’s the [deleted]-est in the room.

The 46th season of 60 Minutes averaged a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.62 million total viewers.

With that many viewers and only a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic we can conclude that a significant fraction of their viewers is outside the 18-49 demo. They’re even worse that DWTS.

It’s that armor piercing round that the administration did an exec order banning I believe. Because you need armor piercing ammo to protect against home invasion or to hunt or for target practice.

It wasn’t an exec order. ATF proposed a ban, then reversed themselves. There’s a lot of genuine doubt that 885 green tip is armor piercing. The steel tip that’s in it isn’t a traditional piercing steel core. It’s there to improve terminal performance at range. The problem is that douchebags keep turning ARs into pistols and the law applies to pistol ammo.
