Janis Lane is the Tea Party leader in Mississippi and she appears to long for the days when women were happy chattel. Lane had made headlines in complaining that women are inherently poorly suited to not just serve as bosses but to vote.
Lane explained that “Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote. Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting.” A former marketing director who now leads the party in Central Mississippi, Lane further observed that “There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person . . . I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I’d much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.”
Once again, it is remarkable how some of our radicalized citizens share striking similarity with our enemies like the Taliban who would agree wholeheartedly with Lane on her view of women.

Bron,
No, nothing much changes, in your mind. That book was written in 1891.
Socialism? Really?
Admiring Ayn Rand? Admiring Ronald Reagan? Really?
“Doing more of the same and expecting a different outcome, well you know what they say.”
Yes. Did you vote for George W. Bush? Congratulations!
Letting neo-conservatives destroy the nation for 8 years, then re-electing them after a four year break. Different outcome? No. More of the same.
Did you expect a different outcome?
nothing much changes.
PICTURES OF THE SOCIALISTIC FUTURE

Bron, you know as well as I do that the intransigence of congress, with a refusal to pass ANY economic reform proposal from the White House is at the bottom of the sluggish recovery. What is amazing is there is a recovery in progress DESPITE the congress. Mitch McConnell stated early on that the number one priority of congressional Republicans was to make sure Obama was a one-term president. That was their only agenda. McConnell and Boehner made no bones about it.
I imagine Romney does have a clue and that is why he wants to do that.
“He does not have a clue that all too many people have had to cash in whatever little retirement they had saved just to eat. And as for estate taxes, what the hell is that going to do for the millions of people who have been foreclosed?”
Yes, it has been terrible for the middle class in the last 4 years under Obama. Thanks for Pointing that out OS.
Elaine, he said he did. Eliminate taxes on capital gains, investments, stock portfolios and estate taxes. By doing all those cuts, the school teacher, nurses, construction workers and plumbers can all improve their financial status and become solvent again. He does not have a clue that all too many people have had to cash in whatever little retirement they had saved just to eat. And as for estate taxes, what the hell is that going to do for the millions of people who have been foreclosed?
He lives in a bubble so removed from the rest of us that he truly does not have a clue. There have been studies of the children of the super rich. They really are wired up differently from the rest of us.

OS,
That and what preceded it in your comment are so damn true. The man simply doesn’t know, care, or understand how most people live. When i became of driving age I would ask my friends to contribute to the gas. The one of my friends, whose father was the wealthiest and had gotten a brand new mustang Convertible for his 18th birthday, asked me with all seriousness: “Why don’t you get your father to give you a credit card for gas like mine does?”. My father never had a credit card in his life and saved by putting his excess change in a cigar box every evening. My friend could never understand that he was the exception and not the rule.
Obama finally pointed out that Romney’s policies on social issues are to the right of George Bush.
Bron,
Romney’s comments about defunding PBS and Planned Parenthood as a means to reduce the deficit when he refuses to name the tax loopholes he plans to eliminate should be ridiculed. Why is he so reticent to discuss the details of his tax plan? Does he really have a tax plan?
A picture is worth a thousand words. All Josh Romney needs is a black velvet cape to complete his outfit. He looks as if he probably does not have a reflection in a mirror. Ann looks as if she just dined on green persimmons. Compare her expression to that of Michelle Obama. Photos at the link.

Yes that Big Bird comment certainly has the left all a tweeter.
rafflaw:
no it is not.
Please show me where the experts have said this and who the experts are.
I would hope he would not exempt the capital gains tax from tax cuts, he should actually eliminate it so the middle class can salvage what is left of our estates after 4 years of plunder.
You would deny the elderly widow an extra few dollars from her retirement account or the money saved on the sale of a house, which is really what most middle class people have as assets, in the name of class warfare?
Obama: Eliminating “Big Bird” one of Romney’s only specifics
Bron,
it is disengenous to suggest that Obama has a hard understanding Romney’s tax plan. He doesn’t even have a plan. The experts have chimed in that the math doesn’t add up, plus he is all over the recorded web that he will cut the rate for the top. It changes with each speech and he is on the record supporting the Ryan budget that is nowhere close to his alleged across the board tax cuts. If he was serious, he would exempt his own tax friend, the capital gains tax.
Smom:
right he is going to not rehire when they leave or retire. Which is how it ought to be. I wouldnt want people thrown out into the cold in this Obama economy.
Mike Spindell:
I know the left’s history of the Reagan years.
But as Reagan used to say, progressives know a lot that isnt so.
I read Carvilles and Begalas book about the largest tax rise in history, yes it was because we had a very good economy which lasted for a very long time. Increase salaries, increase the number of people working, expand business and shezam, more tax revenues even with lower marginal rates.
I know it is hard for progressives to wrap their minds around that concept, Obama has an incredibly hard time every time he mentions Romney’s plan. He just cannot understand that lower tax rates generate the additional revenue. It happens everywhere, in every era it is tried.
You have made yours, Mike, you have a nice retirement, a house in Florida a nice family. How about help making it so the rest of us can have the same thing? With this economy, I can never retire, can never sell my house for enough to buy one in Florida or somewhere else warm. Bush and now Obama have stolen from me and my wife and millions of others just like us.
I would worry more about an Obama second term and my comfortable retirement being scaled back when there isnt any more money left to pay state pensions than I would about losing my house to rising sea levels.
If Obama gets a second term, I hope I am wrong for your sake. You certainly seem like a decent guy.
“You have made yours, Mike, you have a nice retirement, a house in Florida a nice family. How about help making it so the rest of us can have the same thing?”
Bron,
Given that you’re a small business man I would guess that you’ve earned three or four times what I’ve earned in my life. A major part of my income today is social security and the other part is a pension which I worked very hard to get. Even with Medicare and my secondary insurance coverage, what small liquid assets I had were wiped out by expenses not covered by insurance. I’m certain you will live for more comfortably then me in retirement.
Let me get though to the fact that I’d be dead right now without Medicare since it paid for my heart transplant and for the medication I must take as a result. You and your ilk oppose Medicare, so I guess you can say you oppose me having the right to be living.
“I would hope he would not exempt the capital gains tax from tax cuts, he should actually eliminate it so the middle class can salvage what is left of our estates after 4 years of plunder.”
Your ignorance is your bliss. You define “middle-class” very loosely. The overwhelming majority of middle class people in this country don’t have any “capital gains” to take advantage of. I certainly have never once been able to file a capital gain.
“I read Carvilles and Begalas book about the largest tax rise in history, yes it was because we had a very good economy which lasted for a very long time. Increase salaries, increase the number of people working, expand business and shezam, more tax revenues even with lower marginal rates.”
I didn’t read Carville’s book, I lived through the period as an informed adult. The gimmick of the Reagan Plan was to double the social security withholding tax to the point where it was greater than the middle class persons income tax and then use the money to fund the defense buildup. This was how Reagan tripled the deficit and put the tax burden on the middle class, since there was a cutoff for the higher salaried people. Social Security only got into “minor” trouble because its funds weren’t segregated from the governments General Fund. The Social Security “shortfall” was a hoax, which unfortunately some defense obsessed Democrats like Pat “the Rat” Moynihan went along with.
“Bush and now Obama have stolen from me and my wife and millions of others just like us.”
You supported Bush, you define taxation as theft and greed as the highest value. Yet:
“With this economy, I can never retire, can never sell my house for enough to buy one in Florida or somewhere else warm.”
I can’t help it if you’ve failed as a business entrepreneur and want to blame your failure on the government. As Mitt Romney would say, you are not taking responsibility for yourself and your failure is your own fault. I would think Ayn Rand would say the same.
Tigers 2-1. Justin Verlander is a throwback to when pitchers weren’t prima donnas. Oh..was there a debate last night? What channel?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/16/bruce-bartlett-mitt-romney_n_1970873.html?utm_hp_ref=business Ex Reagan advisor, Bruce Bartlett, says Romney’s tax plan will not revive the economy.
bron, Romney has no plan except to furlough government workers. The economy is improving.
Smom:
yes but then so have Romney supporters. The problem is the presidents baggage – 5 trillion in additional debt, a substantial number of unemployed people and a waning economy.
If there was currently a republican president and a democrat told me he could do better and he had a history like Romney’s, I would give him a shot. Doing more of the same and expecting a different outcome, well you know what they say.
