yeah... get back to me when elected members of the GOP stop kissing the rings of folk like rush limbaugh and grover norquist. until then there are no makeovers for the GOP nor those in elected office under the brand.

But will Progressives vote for the Hispanic Marco Rubio, that will run as an American candidate, if he is the best person instead of First Lady Hillary Clinton?

Will the Democrats nominate the liar Hillary Clinton?

Both want to run for president

And both are Liars.

Rubio's parents were in the Cuban Elite and missed Battista, and he lied about that - he has as much in common with teh average Latino as I do.

Ryan is going to pretend to give a crap about the non-wealthy? When he wants to make medicare a voucher?

Why does the GOP hate the average American? The tape of Romney dumping on 47% just confirmed what we all knew - they equate a person's worth with their wealth.

Rubio is the 'Hispanic' candidate and Ryan is the 'austerity' guy. Lipstick on a pig

So Ryan is in a holding pattern — a front-runner

Speaking of being a runner

Ryan lied about his marathon time

Not a lie to get elected like Romney, or a lie to keep him out of trouble like Clinton

but a totally unnecessary lie about a personal accomplishment

Front runner indeed

Quit looking at meaningless political speeches, Politico. If we want to know who Ryan and Rubio are, we need to ask them about what our country faces now -- the fiscal cliff.

Republicans claim they want to reduce tax rates for all Americans. If so, then why doesn't Boehner put what Democrats and Republicans have already passed in the Senate before his House members for an up or down vote? What the Senate passed does exactly what Boehner claims he and his fellow Republicans want to do: it lowers the tax rates for all Americans. The Senate bill does this on the first $250,000 in income each year -- for all Americans. Boehner is going into the infamous Republican ostrich approach: sticking his head in the sand to avoid recognizing the reality surrounding him. He thinks if he drags his feet and drags out the process, President Obama will cave before the new year and give Boehner and his fellow slaves of the richest what they really want: tax cuts for the richest Americans (paid for by the rest of US or China). Such an obstinacy reinforces the image of Republicans as unreasonable people, stupid and stubborn beyond belief. They have an easy opportunity -- they can vote on it today -- to reduce marginal tax rates for 100% of Americans but have decided to hold all those tax cuts hostage and threaten raising taxes on all Americans IF they do not get their tax cuts for all the money multimillionaires and billionaires make (not just the first $250,000).

What we should watch today is Nancy Pelosi's actions. She is inviting and exhorting House Republicans to sign a petition that will make a vote on the tax cuts the Senate passed come to the House floor. Since all Republicans say they are in favor of reducing those tax rates, she should be able to get the number of Republican signatures she needs. If she can't get them, it means Republicans have united to hold hostage those tax cuts in an attempt to extort more money for the richest. If she does get the needed Republican signatures, then we will have a vote on it in the House this week and one big part of the fiscal cliff will have been eliminated. I'm hopeful enough Republicans will put country before party and make this happen for 100% of Americans.

Rubio voted against the Senate bill that reduced tax rates on 100% of Americans. He's in the pocket of the richest and likes the Republican hostage/extortionist approach. Will Ryan sign the petition? We'll see, and in seeing, we'll see who Ryan is.

You probably know of horoscope where they will post, if you were born on this certain date you are. You probably know of the 12 years of Chinese calendar, where this is the year of the blank. Now I do not fully agree with these theories; however, did you know certain past US presidents were born on similar years?

For example, Bush Senior and Jimmy Carter were both born on 1924. Bush Junior and Bill Clinton were both born on 1946. Did you know the 2 people who lost the presidential bid to Obama were both born on 1947. They are Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton. Is it by chance or was it by the certain astrology and certain Chinese year of the blank?

Mr. Obama was born on 1961. What if our next President of the United States is also born on 1961, as well? Or will this pattern be broken the next time around? Does anyone know of a leading Republican or Democrat who is also born on 1961? Then that person may have astrology and the year of the blank advantage to become the next President of the United States.

Here is the problem every right wing extremist faces if they want to be elected president:

Republicans have now lost the popular vote in five out of the last six elections. The 332 to 206 Electoral vote majority for Obama means that from 1992 on, no Republican has won 300 or more Electoral votes, and Democrats have won 300 or more in four out of the six. Democrats have now won 18 states (plus DC) in six consecutive elections, with a total of 242 Electoral votes, 89.6% of the 270 needed to win.

With the changing demographics thee only state that seems to be a swing state now is North Carolina. The only tactic the right has now is to hope for failure which is why they have been trying to sabotage the economy for over 4 years

As President Obama prepares to blame Susan Rice for jumping under his bus while he does his Kabuki dance at the edge of the cliff, Politico does a "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" for their first behind the curtain article. I am a "tomorrow is only a day away" person and I hope that Marco Rubio will be are next president.

Of course, Hillary Clinton's and Susan Rice's before, during, and after involvements in both 9/11s will be interesting to explore. IMO

AngelEyez Member Since: Nov. 2, 2011 Party: Independent #4 Dec. 4, 2012 - 5:52 AM EST But will Progressives vote for the Hispanic Marco Rubio if he is the best person instead of First Lady Hillary Clinton? No offense, but on what PLANET would a complete and total newbie like Rubio ever be a better person than an experienced woman like Hilary Clinton? That said. If Mrs. Clinton runs, they might as well just allow her to start measuring drapes, as they say, as soon as she announces. Why do I say that. First, if the 2012 electorate was overwhelmingly loathe to unseat this sitting President despite the still poor economy, how do think people will feel after four more years of recovery ... a recovery that even Mitt Romney admitted was already happening and would continue on no matter who won this past election. Add to that the instability in many parts of the world. Who do you think the public would prefer... a complete novice in the real of foreign policy or a former Secretary of State with the full respect of the world at her back.
