Ann Barnhardt on a Bank Holiday

Re: Ann Barnhardt on a Bank Holiday

As a Dailey follower, I watched that interview and it corrected my ignorant belief (not ever having watched Napolitano's show) that he was just another Judge Judy. And I agree that Stewart has been most interesting in giving Paul a fair hearing. It was Stewart's show a couple a while back that got me noticing how Paul was being completely ignored by the media. I've since convinced my Democrat wife that there is, in fact, a vast MSM conspiracy to frame Paul as a fringe player.

We posted this image during the previous presidential election. It depicts the two anti-FIRE Economy candidates on both the left and the right positioned as they are by the media, at the extremes.

This time around there is no left-leaning ant-FIRE Economy candidate. Ron Paul is on his own.

Granted he's made considerably better progress this time than last.

But at the end of the day Americans will be left to vote for either FIRE Economy Candidate A or FIRE Economy Candidate B.

From opensecrets.org, can you spot the FIRE Economy candidates?

Harvard is a FIRE Economy institution, Elizabeth Warren being the exception that proves the rule.

thanks for the comment EJ... we've been missing you, Big Guy

sigh... but guess this is no surprise - the only surprise at the moment was RP getting 2nd in NH (what with the onion loader, i mean the NH union leader, backing newt and stabbing the mittster in the back - guess that kinda tells you how much credence the _new_ (and blue) hampster crowd place in the manchester paper.... (once upon a time, they were make or break for the politicians in NH, now... not so much ;)

doesnt this just tell us that they (the FIREman, rats, what have ya) have or are thinking about jumping the dems sinking ship (at the moment anyway)

but considering all they got out of having all 3 branches of the .gov under their control when it REALLY MATTERED (09-10, just as all the big NY banks were essentially bankrupted by their own malfeasance and should've gone under, just like the S&L's in the 60's and 90's), would say they still have plenty of FIREpower at the helm and will be surprised if the mittster goes the distance - even if he might be the most electable (but i'll bet at this moment, he's glad the GOP went with mccain last time...)

Harvard is a FIRE Economy institution, Elizabeth Warren being the exception that proves the rule.

and thank the gods for her, for without her work the GD DC aristocracy would still be under the impression that the middle/working class is 'doing just fine'

guess it also shows that even harvard's lock-stepped PC-arrested 'culture' can do good things once in awhile, eh?
