Tea Party Nightmare:Third-Party Wild Card Candidate In 2012?

Maybe Mayor Bloomberg will get in the running. He has the money and business experience to mount a last minute campaign.

Its about time.

At a million-dollar San Francisco fundraiser today, President Obama warned his recession-battered supporters that if he loses the 2012 election it could herald a new, painful era of self-reliance in America.

Very true.

Self reliance vs. government dependence....what is the trend telling us and what should we strive for?

We should strive to help our less fortunate fellow Americans and strive to make sure no one is hungry or without medical care.

While I can agree with the sentiment, there are those of us who are already quite self-sufficient in many areas growing food and providing for our families as best as possible. It shouldn't be mandatory to give up what one man provides to those he doesn't know, but rather a voluntary action. Basically, if he can spare assistance be it, food, medicine, etc., he does so on his own free will.

I agree as long as the less fortunate are unable to be self reliant...assuming that everyone on the government tit is incapable of self reliance is what the Dems count on...if too many no longer depend on the government to get by, what happens to the Dems voter base? Bye Bye. So keep em needy at all costs by telling them they can't get by on their own.
