I'll remember that for the next election. America swings back and forth more than Tila Tequila.
and the Republicans in the Florida Legislature have finally come to their senses in some areas and have realized the folly of going along with some of the outrageous ideas of the Governor and some of his backers.
It's one thing to balance a budget and trim waste...it's another to try and destroy an entire system of government. Reasonable people know this...and I am optimistic that they know it all over the country.
What many fail to realize/acknowledge is that it is the independent voters who are actually swinging back and forth and electing people.
2008 those voters went to Obama and change.
2010 they voted for Republicans/newbies wanting fiscal responsibility and economic growth.
2012 they are disillusioned/pissed at lack of results and ready to vote for ..................

.....whichever party can manipulate them into believing they are making the right choice while using unconventional media to make them feel "unique".
Obama Job Approval at 41%, Tying His Low
Obama currently has a 35% approval rating among independents, a number that has continually and steadily dropped since he was elected. (The independents aren't very happy with republicans either, but they did vote for them in the last election.)

Won't happen -- he is 5"7"--way too short to be President, he won't look good next to Obama in the debates.

Here's an article on Trump's 2000 endorsement of single-payer Canadian-style health care and his position on tax cuts. ...:shock:
according to Trump then:
"We must have universal healthcare," wrote Trump. "I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses."
The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. "Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork," he writes.
The Canadian plan also helps Canadians live longer and healthier than Americans. There are fewer medical lawsuits, less loss of labor to sickness, and lower costs to companies paying for the medical care of their employees. If the program were in place in Massachusetts in 1999 it would have reduced administrative costs by $2.5 million. We need, as a nation, to reexamine the single-payer plan, as many individual states are doing.
Trump's 2000 platform is instructive. He was bidding to lead the Reform Party, which grew out of Ross Perot's two presidential bids, which were themselves inspired by the first real backlash to the national debt. The Reform Party's platform opposed any tax cuts before the deficit had been eliminated; excess revenue should be spent on debt payment, not tax cuts.
That was more or less the vintage 2000 Trump position on taxes, sold with a unique combination of angst and bravado. "When was the last time you heard a major politician warning of economic downturn?" he wrote. "It's just not in the vocabulary of any public figure. Except mine."
In The America We Deserve, Trump proposed a one-time 14.25 percent tax on individuals and trusts "with a net worth of over $10 million." He predicted that it would raise $5.7 trillion, "which we would use to pay off the national debt" and pay for Social Security. (The first part of this seems quaint now.)
"By imposing a one-time 14.25 percent net-worth tax on the richest individuals and trusts," he explained, "we can put America on sound financial footing for the next century." Like basically every other Trump idea, this one came with a story of epiphany and self-sacrifice. "The plan would cost me $700 million personally in the short term, but it would be worth it."

With Barbour out, Daniels gets closer to a run:
Breaking: Haley Barbour not running for president; Update: Daniels now 60-70%? ? Hot Air
He'd be the only sane one of the entire bunch as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not sure I would classify Boss Hog as "sane"
