2012 Presidential Polls

This will automatically update as more Huffington Post polls come in.

Romney doesn’t give a shit about 47% of us.

“who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement.”

If he said “BMW, Adidas and Lobster on the nights you don’t have a T-Bone steak”, I might have been with him.  But what kind of human being would argue that every other human being does not deserve a place to live, food (at least the basics) to eat and the means to be healthy?  Seriously.  I have issues with people using the money my taxes give them for beer and cigarettes, iPods and cell phones, but food, shelter and health?  Food – you die without it.  Shelter – you can die without it.  Health – you die without it.  Seriously?  He might as well have just said “I don’t care if these lazy leeches just shrivel up and die, at least they would be off the government dole then.”  And he wants to be President of The United States of America.

“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them…Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax…  And so my job is not to worry about those people—I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”

Yup, everybody who supports the president is unemployed, living off welfare and not paying taxes.  Or at least everybody but me.  Because I support Obama and I’m fully employed, been so for most of the last 35 years.  I pay my bills myself, including my taxes.  Oh, wait.  There’s my brother too.  And my friend Ed.  At least 6 people I work with, maybe more.  So, in reality it’s only 46.94356718753675434578453%.  Unless you consider that I don’t personally know more than 1/1000 of a % of the population, so I really shouldn’t be talking for them.

Mr. Romney, where do you get the cajones to say that if I am an Obama supporter, I must be a leech on society?

Oh, I’m sorry.  You didn’t realize the general public would hear your comments.  You thought everything you said was between you and your millionaire cronies.  My bad.

Mr. Romney – go back to running a state or the Olympics, you are not Presidential material.

Jordan District: 1 - Eagle Forum: Pissed off.

Bingham High vs. Gayle Ruzicka.  I won’t rehash the details, but you can go backwards over my posts if you need catching up.

The game is over and although the Jordan School District didn’t just tell the Eagle Forum to go where they belong, the changes they did make are quite on the good side of reasonable.

They did:

Up the number of parents on both drama productions committees.  I don’t know what the original numbers were, but there will now be 4 parents at the school level and 5 parents on the district committee.  

What they didn’t do:

Issue a formal statement apologizing for putting on the play “Dead Man Walking”.

Require an open public forum for every proposed play.

From the KSL.com article on August 30, 2012

Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka said she'd still like to see a statement from the district apologizing for the "Dead Man Walking," as well as future policy changes that would prohibit productions that contain offensive language and content.

Gayle, that’s what the parents on the committees are for, to make sure the standards of their community are respected.  Not what your personal standards are.

And when you consider that there was only 1 negative comment of 700 made to the district about the play before you stuck your big fat self-righteous nose into the whole thing, methinks “Dead Man Walking” just happens to be within the standards of the Bingham High community.

Quit helping people that really don’t want your kind of help.  Thanks anyhow.
