And I think that the Republican Party at present is so far removed from reality that it's going to take a disaster (like a full-blown depression) to get most numbscull and lazy Americans off out of couch-potato distracted mode, to play attention. But most of them are too busy watching reality TV or trading e mails that feature you tube videos of some naked guy running around carrying a chicken eating a peanut butter sandwich. <br /><br /> Sadly, Americans are for the most part, isolated, self indulgent, attention-challenged, naive and have a terrible case of historical amnesia. It's sad but true. I am hopeful the new generation coming up will help to remedy the problems, but it seems their collective attitude is no better than their parents and grandparents; all they want to do is make money! <br /><br /> America will get what it deserves (and we actually our right now) because almost half of the population doesn't event take ten minutes to vote on important issues or for candidates for public office. I think those who don't vote should be fined heavily.<br />Democracy isn't free!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-57403756370879841882012-11-09T06:27:55.107-08:002012-11-09T06:27:55.107-08:00As a person who would be considered conservative b...As a person who would be considered conservative by most people who write comments here, and as a person who is hated by today's Tea Partyesque-type conservatives like the bigoted Melanie Morgan, Brian Sussman and catscratch traffic chick, I concur with many of your views.<br /><br />The vile hatred spouted by Melanie Morgan and Brian Sussman is not something conservatives should do or be proud of. It should be condemned.<br /><br />Having never voted for a Democrat for president, including the present one, I no longer vote. The system is broken. Our economy has been gutted by BOTH parties and the real issue of mass unemployment is not being dealt with at all. Nor will it be.<br /><br />And, as far as giving money away to the undeserving, what about our perpetual state of war since World War II, with only a few years separating each "conflict" we've been in?<br /><br />What about the corporate WELFARE that all the employees, owners, stockholders, etc. of the perpetual warfare military-industrial complex? The money invested in this quasi-fascist model is something that Melanie Morgan and Brian Sussman are incapable of understanding.<br /><br />Instead, they give us Tatiana from the former USSR to tell us that we are heading for Marxism, and yet they ignore the fascist business model of our very corrupt military-industrial complex.<br /><br />If today's reactionaries known as Republicans were truly conservative, they would heed Eisenhower's words that warned of a military-industrial complex that would seek to advance itself at the expense of America.<br /><br />And it is this military-industrial complex that has bankrupted America by its Wall Street greed and imperialistic foreign policies, not phantom welfare queens whose stereotypes come out of Jim Crow.<br /><br />That is not to say there are not those taking advantage of welfare, food stamps, etc., but they are not dominated by people of color, since the majority on these programs are white.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-3851054785999339002012-11-08T21:06:21.265-08:002012-11-08T21:06:21.265-08:00And the line "As a Nation we have never been ...And the line "As a Nation we have never been more divided, the proof is in the popular vote." shows that someone is forgetting the elections from 2000 as well.

What's really sad is that the Republicans in Congress will continue to be in the obstructionist mode, blocking every move they can of the President, just because they can. The Republican Party of the 21stc century has become the party of nullification and close-mindedness.<br /><br /> It all started when right wing ideologue Newt Gingrich led he 'Republican Revolution' in 1994 to "take back Congress" after years of Democratic domination. A collective frayed ego by hard-core conservative along with a burning wish for 'payback' after 'years of humiliation' turned the GOP into a party of whining, angry, petty, vindictive, <br />screaming juveniles, and it was a disgrace to watch this spectacle unfold. Their past actions have not only undermined our Democracy, but they have unfortunately shown the rest of the world how small minded and petty some of our lawmakers will be.<br /><br /> Conservatives have given us the disaster of George Bush for eight years, a wasteful war in Iraq, a Supreme Court justice <br />(John Roberts, a Bush Nominee) who upheld Citizens' United, and <br />deregulation (although some of the Dems were guilty here too), that has marginalized the middle class, and downsized many of our industries (including radio).<br /><br /> I always get a kick out of Conservatives complaining about Obama being a Socialist. How about all of the corporate welfare that Republicans have allowed our nation's big businesses to bilk from the coffers of our government? They complain about "government that's too big," but why no complaints about mega companies that downsize and offshore, or others that make a profit off of our natural resources (gas, oil, mining, cattle) and pay a mere pittance for the use of the lands and water from which they extract their profits. <br /><br /> The fact is that a sizable number of Americans still have their heads up their a-holes because they're being screwed by big business and don't even know it, yet they STILL support the party that pimps for big business that screws them over. <br /><br /> Thankfully, the demographics of the American voter has changed, and the majority now support President Obama.<br />The Republican party needs to 'reinvent itself' unless it wants to be just a marginal party that does nothing but whine and complain and impede the progress of our attempt to recover our economy. That's not doing the right thing for this country and if anything, it's being UN-AMERICAN.

In the "winner take all" aspect of finance/private equity, I have met guys just like him who are willing to say practically anything to get a deal done, regardless of whether it's true or not. <br /><br />At Harvard business school in 2000 they were still teaching that the future corporate model in business was Enron and Tyco, companies that can "do everything." They stopped giving that lesson. Romney is no different from countless others who cut his teeth in business and at HBS, where zero sum is an acceptable strategy even while you're supposedly operating in an environment that benefits both sides to an agreement, as well as employees.<br /><br />Had Romney actually been forced to disclose the type of work he did day to day, or divulged his tax returns, not only would he have lost, but he wouldn't even have been in the primary. <br /><br />Romney lost because of what we saw. Had you seen the entire picture he wouldn't even have been considered. <br /><br />There are no ethics/morals for so many in business and to get where Romney did it was no different for him. That's why he said the thing which cost him Ohio, "I heard a story today...Jeep...moving to China..." It was entirely untrue. I mean, he may have "heard that story", but the story itself was completely false yet that didn't stop him for saying it. In an election that close he had one opportunity to speak during Hurricane Sandy and he chose to lie. <br /><br />He was no different during the entire campaign.<br /><br />Yes, a better candidate could have defeated Obama because he was weak in so many areas, but not one candidate standing on that stage during their primary was worthy of doing so. They chose the least bad option; the private one with little record to scrutinize. What record he did have he ran against.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10502281035616129550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-70316058309394117262012-11-08T10:12:02.810-08:002012-11-08T10:12:02.810-08:00Sussman is the worst of the worstSussman is the worst of the worstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-49481777141239741912012-11-08T09:55:48.056-08:002012-11-08T09:55:48.056-08:00@831 is right on.
