Your arguments remind me of parents trying to convince a 9 year old that Santa and the tooth fairy exist. Your arguments remind me of those who used to argue there was no proof that smoking caused cancer.

Your liberal nutjob friends must be getting real worried if they want to pick another Bush for us to run. I wonder why they think we are as dumb as you? Larry Sabato: Jeb Bush now 'the leader of the field' for 2016 With New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stalled by the “ Bridgegate” affair, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has become the establishment's candidate and top pick to win the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, according to a new analysis of the race. “We now consider Bush the leader of the field if he decides to run,” said the influential “ Crystal Ball” from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. “In recent months, we’ve noticed an unmistakable and widespread desire among some of the Republicans we talk to, particularly ones who would be classified as members of the establishment on and off Capitol Hill, for a third Bush nominee in less than three decades. In one conversation, we mentioned several other potential candidates on our list, but the chatter kept coming back to Jeb. He was the only candidate with whom these party leaders appeared to be comfortable,” said the University of Virginia team. Bush has been left of many lists because of his last name, sometimes including those of Larry Sabato, who heads the Center for Politics. But the problems facing Christie have sent GOP leaders and donors looking for an alternative, and it seems to be Bush. Sabato has been pushing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for months as the top pick, but put Bush on the summit of his 2016 mountain. Bush has danced around the issue, but this week indicated that he is thinking about it, saying, "I can honestly tell you that I don't know what I'm going to do." In their latest evaluation, only Bush received an up arrow, with Christie, Walker, and Sen. Rand Paul all getting down arrows. The positives: “Strong gubernatorial resume; Hispanic connections; Key swing state; National Bush money and organization.” The negatives: “Wrong last name (Bush dynasty) -- although Clinton dynasty could neutralize this; George W. Bush's record? Does he actually want to run?” The U.Va. team also noted that former first lady Barbara Bush has quieted her opposition to having another son run for president. “Perhaps another weathervane is Bush's mother, Barbara, who recently softened her stance against the idea of another Bush presidency after saying last year that the country has ?had enough Bushes,' ” they noted.

You are mixing up arguments with facts. Fact the high pressure ridge stalled off the west coast is causing the drought. You are the one presenting propaganda as facts. You also seem to be the only brain dead liberal still clinging to the brain dead theory of global warming while the other brain dead liberals moved on to climate change.

Odd thing is I see the belief there is global warming and we are all going to drown is more like the belief smoking isn't harmful. Too bad you cannot comprehend neither is factual.

I thought that you said this guy was going to screw up the state of Wisconsin? I guess that you don't know what you're talking about...................as usual. Rush Limbaugh Says ‘Democrats Are Living in Mortal Fear’ of the Day This ‘Huge’ Story Is Widely Reported Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday took a shot at the mainstream media and even some conservative outlets for underreporting on the success of Gov. Scott Walker (R) in Wisconsin. Limbaugh cited an Associated Press report run Wednesday on page A14 of the New York Times about the Wisconsin Assembly passing Walker’s $504 million tax-cut plan. As previously reported by TheBlaze, Walker intends to use part of Wisconsin’s projected $977 million surplus to pay for property and income tax cuts. “He introduced a bill in January that would send $406 million to technical colleges to reduce their property tax hit and cut income taxes by $98 million by reducing the lowest bracket to 4 percent from 4.4 percent,” the report states. “The end result would be a $131 reduction a median home’s tax bill this December and $46 in annual income tax savings for the average worker.” The bill now heads to Walker’s desk for his signature. Limbaugh mocked the report for giving the success story just ten lines, though he also said he was “amazed” the story ran in the New York Times at all. “The solution to this country’s problems gets ten lines in the New York Times,” Limbaugh said. “I’m amazed they even ran the story. But it gets ten lines. I think this is one of the biggest and under commented on — and including in conservative media. This is simply huge what Scott Walker has done.” Limbaugh explained that Walker took over one of the “bluest of blue” states and completely transformed it for the better with conservative policies. “They did everything they could, not just to destroy Walker’s political career, they tried to destroy his reputation and his political life,” he added. “He persevered, he overcame, he dominated and he won.” Down from 9.2 percent in 2009, Wisconsin had an unemployment rate of 6.1 percent in January, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. Walker also announced earlier this year that the state had added 106,100 private-sector jobs in his first three years in office. “The schools have been reformed, so the unions do not control every aspect of it now. There is a surplus of nearly a billion dollars in this economy,” Limbaugh continued. “And he’s returning half of that to residents of the state in the form of a property tax cut and income tax cuts — and it gets ten lines in the New York Times.” Comparing Wisconsin’s situation to that of the rest of the United States, Limbaugh said most states are struggling. “We’ve got the answer in practical and real political terms, and real-life experience,” he added. “The blueprint for how to win elections and the blueprint for how to govern after you win elections, the blueprint for economic revival, the blueprint for employment revival, the blueprint for budgetary solvency! It’s amazing, it is a huge story.” “The Democrats are living in mortal fear that this is gonna be discovered,” Limbaugh said. “They are living in mortal fear that the Republicans are going to get their butts in gear and learn from this and try to replicate it. So far there’s no sign of that.” theblaze.com
