The Real Mitt Romney

Ahhh, southern California... that hot bed, birthplace of liberal radicals like Sam Yorty.

Back when the oil industry had starting to drill wells in LA harbor,
Mayor Yorty pushed through a zoning change over a weekend,
and the harbor was restricted to residential housing

... it stopped the drilling overnight !

Hang out with radicals In college? No. By the time you're in Columbia or Harvard law, you should know better.

The EPA had to back down on the plywood/oriented strand board issue, because they got a lot of flack about it, and there is no real substitute for these building materials.

Yes, they give off some volatile gases, but so do tires. We still need them both.

Tell O’Reilly, Hannity, Cavuto, Beck, Limbaugh, FOX, ad infinitum.

I guess ad hominem attacks have become the political scene mainstay, and general entertainment, as well. That stinks. I can't see one good thing coming out of that practice.

The House was controlled by the Democrats for the first two years of Obama's term. Nobody would vote for Obama's budget then, either.

Somehow, we have to learn to live within our means - or at least close to it. Obama's policies are so fixated on over-spending, it just boggles the mind. You may believe that a monetary crises could not hit this country, but it can, and it has happened before. If we keep spending a Trillion! dollars more than we earn, we will definitely experience a bigger crises than any we have known before.

Socialism works fine, until the money runs out. I doubt our chowder heads in Washington could make it work right, but it is possible, if you are well set up for it.

We are not well set up for it, however. Quite the contrary - and our politicians are nowhere near smart enough to lead us to that ephemeral goal.

Yeah. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Lucien Carr and Hal Chase were all pretty non-radical types.
