Do you want to take this deal? For you <a href="http://graco-duoglider-stroller.com" rel="dofollow">graco double stroller</a>. This will allow your child sitting back to see better the world around. You can keep an eye your child because the back seat has a special window. Canopies have the sun visor; it helps to shade better.

Bain Capital and a 100,000 jobs created?

Well PolitiFact is all over it:

Seems like fast and loose talk, not factual, an opinion.

Be weary of those who try to pass opinion as fact.

Jeb Bush? Really Rich? Please, please think outside the Bush box. You are hurting my mind.

Yes, please have the rumble in the jungle and limit it to Las Vegas.

This process is too protracted.

Why not a panel comparing ours to the UK system?

Charlie, another case for a third party candidate . . .

You said David Brooks wrote: America does not want to see an election where there is one Harvard Lawyer against another Harvard lawyer.

David is correct. I don't even like to think about it.

Charlie and Mark born in the same month. 23 years and a generation separate them. They work well together.

Did anyone ever think that the real reason Mitt Romney wants to be President is so that he can liquidate the USA piece by piece to the Chinese, Russians or whoever has the cash to buy the USA. All so that he can turn a profit as a "Vulture Capitalist?"

Whoever wrote Charlie's intro here is clearly biased. Mr Hunt was as usual also biased (which seems to run in the family).

Yesterday Mr Romney obliged me by proffering the feeling all his detractors were simply envious. Like Bush, he's a mama's boy, his father's rival, and he considers this a competitive world, where greed is good, status everything, and one must ruin one's opponents. This will not only not fix the economy, it will surely start wars. Wars are the product of such envy, not jealousy. Ask Amb Kennan.

Romney's is not a conservative vote so much as a vote for nostalgia, motivated by a desire to return to the Bush era. A matter of cognitive dissonance, I'd say. But independent ppl are viewed with suspicion by most Americans, and rather like in the Mafia or the CIA only those in a position to be blackmailed can be trusted. Hypocrite or not, as long as one has some sort of weakness and plays the game, he's considered okay, Teflon-coated. Americans may put ppl on pedestals, but they won't really embrace one if they believe he really belongs there. This, not the lobbying or the attack ads, is the real problem. Of course, on top of that the man is just plain stupid.

Mr Lowry doesn't even begin to understand Adam Smith (nor I've thought much of anything else). How can he suppose Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman are not "economic candidates?" The absence of benevolence does not ipso facto equate to selfishness, but to self-interest and there's a large difference. And not one I'd think Mr Romney appreciates any better.

But there's no doubt that this was "vulture capitalism." Saving and reorganizing cos was never the motive behind it. And I suspect the world would be better off without Staples, Domino's, or Sports Authority, too.

Santorum has had nothing to do with the Tea Party. That's an astonishingly uninformed statement. Tho not unusual from Halperin, who normally has his head somewhere in the region of the lower part of his anatomy. It has unfortunately been dished up by liberals, esp Afro-American liberals, for some time now. There has been some attempt by the Glenn Beck's to jump on the Tea Party bandwagon, and no doubt by those who know little except what TV and radio commentators and their pastors tell them. I can see where polls may pick it up, but none of those ppl have any idea of Ron Paul, nor does Ron Raul have any real affinity with them. Santorum won their votes in Iowa. And since there are few such in NH, he got zip there.

If Paul decides to bolt the party, I'm sure Rand will join him, so I don't think he's a factor. Even the idea that his career would be placed above principle is offensive, and even if it weren't a matter of honor, he would be tarred by association, nevertheless. What I've noticed about punditry these days is that they never even try to think outside of any box. It's still the way they learned it in grade school: the economy is always Keynesian; politics is always Right vs Left.

If this kind of thing is what we can expect from the Rose Show from now on, maybe Charlie is right to jump ship. I'm not in any case at all surprised he has a cold.
