Something I've noted several times is that, while most of us agree it's important to be informed about Canadian politics and to be an engaged citizen, the fact is that Canadian politics are generally pretty boring (this can be a good thing, IMO). The Americans, on the other hand, have turned the dysfunction of their political system into an entertainment industry (although it appears Harper, et al., are determined to reduce the Canadian system to the same level).
So I thought I'd start a thread for discussion of the Reality TV show they call American Politics.
I'll start with this posting I saw on another forum, with respect to the Republican's policies on women's health care, especially with regard to contraception and abortion:
After years and years and years of specifically targeting homophobes, racists, bigots, religious zealots, anti-intellectuals and sociopaths why should we be at all shocked that the GOP picked up a ****load of misogynists along the way?
Not in this case, gt. Pres. Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1991. That is no easy task, especially from Harvard Law. How do we know what courses he took to get these outstanding grades?
In that cum laude means "with honor", magna cum laude means "with great honor" and summa cum laude means "with highest honor", how come the President of the United States did NOT graduate with the "highest honor"?????
I graduated "cum laude" for my two bachelor degrees, "magna cum laude" for my master's degree and "summa cum laude" for my Ph.D., and I can show any and all my transcripts with pride ........................ so why can't Pres. Obama do the same?????
Nope Swiss banks are now refusing to open accounts from anyone with any sort of ties to the US.
Interestingly the US does not tax the interest on Non Resident Alien accounts held in US Banks nor will they divulge that account information to the Aliens home nation. Even though FATCA demands that same information from all foreign banks.

True .............. however, in Romney's case, he goes by the name of Milt Romney from Mexico ................ very convenient, n'est ce pas?
Still, where are Pres. Obama's transcripts? If they focus upon this point, it might distract people from what the non-partisan Tax Policy Institute said. The TPI claims Romney's tax proposals are likely to result in a net tax increase of $2,000 for middle-class wage earners while cutting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the tax bills of the country's most wealthy. Sounds like Robin Hood in reverse ............ as in "Romney Hood".
Still, bring on those transcripts ............................
gaffe-master and tax the hell out of the middle class while he protects the rich guy is going to have to fundraise the crap outta this one to get it.
Of course limiting voters time to vote may be the sort of strategies he is employing now from what I heard. (though he tried to pin that one on Obama, which speaks volumes...)
Say what you want, CM, but Romney will bury his tax forms so deeply in numbered accounts that even his accountants at the firm of Dewey, Cheatham and Howe won't know where to look. And then, with Pres. Obama not being forthcoming with his college records and transcripts, he is gone for good.
Then, we shall see a return of the good times for those in the top 1% ............. and may the rest of you surfice on our crumbs.

Hey, if you can't vote quickly then don't vote at all. How difficult is it to select Romney ..................... it's a simple name to remember .............. certainly not like Obama .............. when one has to wonder where he was born, where he went to public school, what his religion might be ..................... and WHERE are his university transcripts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After being labeled "Romney Hood" - Robin Hood in reverse - by the president Monday, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney fired back with his own wordplay Tuesday, calling President Barack Obama's jab a bunch of "Obamaloney." Right on, Mitt!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell it like it is ............... just keep the focus off of yourself and your own finances.
I am stunned at the ineffectiveness of the Obama campaign at this point--a ragtag, scattergun effort. Thankfully, the only audience who is interested is committed Democrat voters.
I believe Thursday may be the day that Romney chooses his Veep.

Add to this an albatross called Biden around the neck of Pres. Obama and it spells VICTORY for Romney in November .................. so long as Romney is smart and does not pull a Sarah Palin-like miscue and selects someone who overshadows him .......... and then tries to upstage him by providing ALL of his tax returns. We shall see.
Hey, cut him some slack. He had a long day ............ and his round of golf at the Glen Oaks Country Club raised a great amount of money but that is NOT an easy course to complete the full 18 holes.
"After the speech, at the Glen Oaks Country Club, a Romney spokesman, Rick Gorka, was asked about the slip.
“He misspoke,” Mr. Gorka said. “It was the end of the day.” "
