To believe a claim is to be willing to base personal action upon that claim; i.e. belief is tantamount to a bet. When a belief has no verifiable substance the only available personal action is to recite it in public. Except when done anonymously, the recital is like a dare: it identifies you with a small cult of like believers and demonstrates the strength of your resolve in that belief. The resulting publicity also serves to propagate the belief.
If they can plug the latest HEART device into Cheney every three years, they can pop a few Livers into Hillary while she declares obesity a crime, blackmails a few Republican Senators, or sends a special ops seal team to kill Ken Starr. She'll be there. She'll be there.
There was an article in the Post yesterday that said CAMP HILLARY is whirring already. I'm going to the VEGAS site, I want to get my bet down now, while the odds are still good.
Question: What's next for the Republican Party???
Ya mean, aside from serving the super-rich??? The old Republican Party serve the super-rich or about, um, 0.01 percent of the populace... and, sadly, the Dems are movin' in that direction.
Neither party serve the working class or middle class or even, say, the moderately rich. It's the super-duper rich that they both serve.

Lots of guys in Congress, especially the House, are nothing special. Some guy who owns a car dealership in Huckburg can get a nice suit and haircut, shoot a few TV ads and get elected.
The Uber-Riche, they are no fluke. They are not the smartest guys in THE room, they are the smartest guys in ANY room.
The 1% that own half of everything? the moronic 99% gave them their money, well, one way or another they got it.
Luckily they leave us enough for our expenses, a crappy car and apartment, a false sense of security, a little hope (it's free) so we can hop on the treadmill every day and whip them up some more cash and power. Even when Capitol Hill works for the little guy, the little guy is going to hand it over to Mr Big.
There were a couple times my Pop got some great stock tips, the second time he made a nice bit of coin. The One Percent own Wall Street. The fix is in.
Beware the Military Industrial Complex??? oops.
Kidd Buddslinger's home state of Virginia ousted Homeboy Eric Cantor, those Buzzard good looks weren't good enough to be bad enough on immigration, I guess. Power to the People!!!!
Ahahahaha

The Party of NO has been avoiding saying what it's for, (I suspect they don't want to get in a serious debate with Obama about what's right) in favor of a safer less provocative stance of just blaming everything that is wrong on the President.
The part of the Republican Party I hate, the behind closed doors strategies that protect the interests of the one percent, is in direct conflict with what the Good Ole Boys want. The NASCAR Republicans.
The way the Top Republicans lie to their own faithful is what really seems criminal to me. How can you debate somebody about what they value when they're lying through their teeth?
If the ONE-PERCENTERS ever lose, maybe they will be defeated by Republicans rather than Democrats. The Tea Party was born out of the frustration Republicans felt after Bush destroyed the Economy.
