It is baffling that of recent times that there have not been limitations for candidates that run. <br />What I am getting at is that up here the leader - Prime Minister can only accept a certain amount of money and there are limits with the campaigning process. As well, he or she has to advocate from all business matters while in office. <br />I don't know why this was never considered within America as it is rather hypocritical that the only ones which can run for office are that one percent of society. If there were in earlier days new laws put in place to some extent it would disallow these practices and perhaps serve for a better campaign process cents wise. Romney seems to be the one which shall come to be the leader of the Republicans. <br /><br /><br />I still believe that if there were rules and regulations as mentioned it would service this theme in which all are wishing to have but I would wager that if Donald Trump would have announced at this point that he was running for office – he might very well have been on top. As he could be decisive and although he speaks his mind at least he does not scheme it under polidiculous political radar. I didn’t see any politicians perform during the Super Bowl and within these times – I am surprised that some of them didn’t wager in. <br /><br />Romney would have done well with Madonna within her performance. <br /> <br />Just kidding but ironically within the NFL they do have limitations as to what is and what is not allowed. Yet it does serve as a point factor within going the distance within this political race.Initiative Stainhttp://initiativestain.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-34267837301036859142012-02-05T13:02:58.000-08:002012-02-05T13:02:58.000-08:00The man's a crook .... have him arrested Doug,...The man's a crook .... have him arrested Doug, bloody lowlife tax dodger that he is, definitely not fit for public office.Aaran Aardvarkhttp://aaranaardvark.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-11268285436965064832012-02-03T12:07:11.000-08:002012-02-03T12:07:11.000-08:00For all the kicking and screaming coming from the ...For all the kicking and screaming coming from the ring-wing talking heads about "class warfare" and "income re-distribution," that one phrase says everything you need to know about our current national plight.<br /><br />The country is facing austerity and economic malaise exactly because the rich are getting a relatively-free ride while the rest of working America has to pull the weight for these freeloaders.<br /><br />Did Romney cheat on his taxes?<br /><br />Most of those who took a good look at the 550 pages-worth of documents say "probably not," but how he and others in the 1% managed to GET those sweet tax breaks and tax rates illustrates exactly the problem with letting lobbyists and political money write tax laws... <br />.. because it's always about the money.chuck thttp://deckhand.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-29078927825950308922012-02-03T07:28:32.000-08:002012-02-03T07:28:32.000-08:00It comes from having too much money to corrupt too...It comes from having too much money to corrupt too many members of Congress and/or needing too much money to run for office for starters, Bill. doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-8960691127118710212012-02-03T07:27:25.000-08:002012-02-03T07:27:25.000-08:00You're right, Fred, which is why we desperatel...You're right, Fred, which is why we desperately need campaign finance reform, and to restore the progressive income tax to the finance-capital crowd.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-30242813478855886342012-02-03T07:25:15.000-08:002012-02-03T07:25:15.000-08:00That's the empathy problem here, Marty.

And there's no period in this guy's life where he hasn't been insulated from most people's lives. <br /><br /> As in having a severe illness like FDR's polio or John Kennedy's poor health or he and George HW Bush's time in a war. <br /><br />Empathy-strapped people who can give enormous amounts of money tax-free to family members are NOT what we need in places of power right now.doug noakeshttp://dnoakes.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503771624520315711.post-1627234362664192882012-02-03T02:46:13.000-08:002012-02-03T02:46:13.000-08:00I'm trying to understand how one gets an incom...I'm trying to understand how one gets an income from a company without owning stock or working for it.
