There is so much rhetoric flying around, that some people are getting confused about what side said what. There are a bewildering array of issues and a plethora of opinions, all happily repeated by the media talking heads and the slavish rank and file. There does seem to be a common thread to all this - money. Some don't have enough, some too much and some - just don't care either way.

Wh**ever the cause, issue, political party or crusade, they all want money, then more money. Pac's, superpac's and individual campaign's, all want money, then more money. The Supreme Court has decided that they can have more money, then even more money. So, what the hell do they need all that money for? What are they doing with the 100's of millions of dollars? Why is the consensus that the candidate that raised the most money will win the e******n?

It seems that the money is being spent - on marketing. Yes, plain old marketing, sales. Marketing research, to see what the target audience wants to hear and how best to get them to hear it. Direct marketing, TV ads, radio, brochures, telemarketing, buttons, flyers, billboards. Internet marketing, 1000's of ads, e-mails, tweets, face book and wh**ever else. The rest of the money is spent on public relations, to include, wardrobe, cosmetics, sound bites, video bites, events and appearances.

Here's the for realz. All this money is coming from the same sources. Rich people and large corporations. Where are they getting THEIR money. From you, that's where, the middle class and the no class. Corporations don't get rich selling stuff to rich people, they get rich selling stuff to YOU. Rich people don't get/stay rich by selling to each other, they do it by selling to YOU. Middle class workers make the stuff and sell the stuff, to YOU. So, in a way, YOU'RE funding the purchase of your democratic process. You don't have any say in what your Government does, but your money sure does, once you've given it to the rich people to do with as they please. Don't want to tax the rich? That's the ONLY way you're going to get any of your money back. Besides, how much money does a rich person need anyway?

Yeah, the i***t rants of crazed conservatives have been silenced for at least a couple of hours.

Why? Because the i***ts, many who post crap and tripe here daily about the muslim, kenyan, marxist,c*******t
went to Easter services AGAIN.

What are poor r****t bigots conservatard i***ts to do?

Claim that the 19th Street Baptist church is not a real church?

Oh my, drooling i***ts will be sucking the eggs off of their ugly faces for the rest of the day.

BTW, even the fools at faux admit that the first family went to "chrisitan" services

Last night was one of the worst nights I have ever had. I lost my best friend of the last 15 years and the world is so lonely now. He followed me around everywhere I went and never got tired of me or wanted to go off on his own when I wanted to do something. He was always eager to go along with wh**ever I wanted to do and never complained that he was to tired or didn't feel like it today. He never complained that I didn't love him or that I didn't pay enough attention to him. He just snuggled up next to me and would lay there when I was not feeling well, or try and get me to go out when I wanted to just stay home. He let me know that there was always something to do, even if it was just playing in the house on rainy days.

He never threatened to leave me if I ignored him to much, he just got in my lap and gave me one of his looks that says he loves me anyway. He would follow me from room to room and never left my side if he could help it. One day when my wife was in the extended care center at the nursing him, I took him along to see her. After that time he started to wander over there on his own to visit with the people there and they all loved him for his visits. Some even look forward to his visits even though he was not supposed to be in there on his own. They would sneak him into their rooms to play and give him treats. No one ever mistreated him and he loved going. Since I live in a very small town and it is only a block away, I never tried to stop him from visiting there. He didn't go every day, but normally made it at least once a week.

I took him on vacations and even when I was on the hospital, he came up there with my wife while she was up there with me. I had to go to Atlanta and that is a 3 hour drive from here, so it is not a simple trip to go there for him. He never complained about the trip and was always happy to go. He loved riding in the car and was always trying to go, even when I went to work. Not that I took him there, but he kept trying none the less. He didn't care if it was a 5 minute trip to the Post Office or a trip to Atlanta, he was always ready to go. In fact, we had to fight to keep him out of the car.

I will miss him dearly and wish I had another 15 years with him. The normal life span for his breed is 12 to 14 years, so I feel lucky to have had him all these years. This last year saw him slow down a lot and he was not his outgoing self, but that's OK too. I didn't mind that he was slower on our walks or that he couldn't go as far, but we both enjoyed them and he never grew tired of just walking with me. He kept me active too, so they were good for both of us.

I am going to take a short break from here until I get over this lost feeling I have, but for now, I am just going to take things easy for a few days. I have enjoyed my time here and look forward to see you all again. You all take care and have a wonderful day now.
