Why do the politicians who oppose government regulation of business want the government to regulate marriage and pregnancy?
I never thought much of President George W. Bush. Didn’t vote for him. Now I’m starting to like the guy. I guess President Obama really has transformed the political landscape.
If we re-elect President Obama, will he continue to complain about the mess he inherited from President Bush? Or, if we elect Gov. Romney, will he complain about the mess he inherits from President Obama? Can we get both candidates to make a no-whining campaign pledge?
My brother had a great idea a few years ago: require elected officials to wear the logos of their contributors the way NASCAR drivers do. That would sure liven up the Senate.
No politicians are pandering to me and I resent that. President Obama is pandering to Hispanics, women, gays and college students. Gov. Romney is pandering to the Tea Party and the evangelicals. Being pandered to is becoming a civil right and I feel discriminated against. My vote has to be worth something.
Now that Joe Biden has redefined the role of the Vice President as the crazy uncle of the administration, Newt Gingrich could make a great running mate for Gov. Romney. I’d buy a ticket to that debate.
Should there be a statute of limitations on calling existing tax rates a tax cut? I guess ending a tax cut, even after 12 years, sounds more palatable than raising taxes.
If we’re serious about separation of church and state, why do we allow the government to perform marriages? The only thing the state needs to care about is a contract between two people. Calling that contract a marriage – instead of, say, a spousal agreement – means that people get the state mixed up with their churches and seek to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of the population.
When politicians complain about special interests, why are they talking mostly about big corporations and not about unions, trial lawyers, farmers, realtors and environmental groups?
It’s surprising to hear that President Obama’s reelection campaign is operating at a deficit, spending more than it’s taking in. (Okay, maybe that’s not surprising after all.) The obvious solution is to get the rich to pay their fair share. Warren Buffett and George Clooney need to come up with bigger campaign contributions to spare the Prez the embarrassment of asking the Chinese for a loan.
Political wisecracks I cannot resist
