Having trouble making payments for your houses #reallifestruggles

I have heard a couple of people making excuses that this doesn't matter because it doesn't match the narrative of her. The thing is, however, that the media are the ones who create the narrative, so viola...self fulfilling prophecy!

Like it's even remotely possible to have a viable presidential candidate from any party who isn't wealthy.

Conservatives don't want anarchy. They want a smaller, efficient, constitutional government. The feds have no business in education, agriculture, energy, healthcare or retirement just off the top of my head.

RINOs like Boehner and McCain want a big government, just managed by them and not Democrats. Take em for all I care.

Well said.

Fewer rules better enforced does not equal anarchy.

Yea I'm not necessarily for these new EPA guidelines. I think carbon pollution is a serious problem and I am for taxing carbon. I think though it shouldn't go to the government but distributed back to the popullation. Fee and rebate system. Consumers are getting rebated so they handle the increase cost but the cost of non carbon emission energy sources because more profitable as does energy efficiency/reducing one's consumption. I think if we did this the change would take place naturally and wouldn't require government mandates or subsidies to green energy companies some of which failed.

BTU annual report - since 1970 electricity generated from coal in the US is up 170% while TOTAL emissions are down 90%. Currently 40% of our electricity is generated from coal. Globally, as half the world population gets access to electricity, coal will be a major source.

People are living in la la land if they think coal is going away in our lifetime.

Exactly. Now, there are different ends of the wealth spectrum (Mitt versus Obama as an example) but any one of these asshats claiming that they "get" what the average American is going thru is utter bullshit.

RINO's out. Real conservatives in. Tea Party is not dead.

Gutting the congressional leadership is usually not a good idea, but I am all for it in this case. Did not care for Cantor. He was a puppet of the tea party and it does not matter much to me that he will replacec by a tea bagger.

So much for tolerance. He's getting tossed because the Tea Party put him in there and he did the exact opposite of what he said he'd do. On principle alone I applaud the voters for this one.

Democrats don't have to worry about elected officials like this on a national level because everyone's in line with "fundamental transformation."

He was a 7 term Congessman so the tea party did put him in anything. He got tossed because he was going to support immigration reform -- which ironically would help the GOP in the long run.

Yup. Lol. Immigration reform is dead. Republicans can't touch it. Bye Hispanic votes. They also whacked a made guy. Beltway Republicans are pretty tore up about it.

I think Cantor getting creamed gives Nader's thesis that Wooly posted of an emerging left-right and anti corporate alliance quite a big boost. This was not only about immigration reform but corporatization and crony capitalism. More importantly it shows that someone can overcome a huge financial deficit by being better organized on the ground, which is a page right out of the Marshall Ganz playbook. If this dude ran against Diane Fienstien (who I can not stand in that she is the embodiment of cronyism) I would give said candidate serious consideration.

Not at all-- I've never seen Republicans use that color scheme or layout before.

You gotta do better, Cack.

Also, the writing seems have an Asian feel to it, and Republicans hate anyone who isn't rich and white right? So clearly they'd never roll with that font style.

I thought they just made some sort of Asian Republican group.

At least they are trying tho
