#7  Hey Shakey- Dale was referring to the current gov of NJ. I suggest you read up on him. Perhaps you might learn something worthwhile.

#6  Grammar police on patrol. "Pier pressure"?

Please, try "Peer".

Thank you for your attention.

#4  When you mentioned a 'Governor Christie' I almost choked on my coffee laughing...Christine Todd Whitman according to Wiki: "In 1997, she repealed the 7% sales tax her predecessor Governor Florio had imposed (rolling it back to 6%), instituted unspecified education reforms, and removed excise taxes on professional wrestling, which led the World Wrestling Federation to resume holding events in New Jersey. In 1999, Governor Whitman vetoed a bill that outlawed partial birth abortion; the veto was overridden, but the statute was later declared unconstitutional by the courts. In 1999 she also made a cameo appearance on the television show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."...My Lord, if that isn't presidential material, I don't know what is...maybe the GOP can run ads of her frisking various African American males a la Willie Horton..

#3  "Hopefully I'm wrong and people will remember now that the bag of tricks and scams appears to be running dry". People need a strong leader. Like children they need direction. These tricks and scams are repeated time after time. It works. Someone like Governor Christie who would stand toe to toe are needed. A con man can take money and do it over and over till he is stopped. No compromise. You compromise you lose.

#2  Not a fad, a tool to hammer Bush 43 with. The tool will be used again when there is a Republican in the White House. Just as Global Cooling turned to Global Warming the bulk of the folks won't really remember.

Hopefully I'm wrong and people will remember now that the bag of tricks and scams appears to be running dry.

#1  Truth- it was never there. It was a fad. Like the riots in this countries past and in many parts of the world. Media daily body counts. 24/7 media blitz. People with nothing else to do. A rave party of group thought. Followers not leaders. Pier pressure and what I call the flocking effect. Right now with so many idle, like a hurricane the barometric pressure begins to drop. Any little thing can happen to trigger the storm of insanity. What started it will be forgotten but many rationalizations will be generated after the event. Any area that has high unemployment should now be watched for Rave riot quickening flutters. When it is hot and nice weather are needed ingredients as well. Idle hands the devils work they will do. Those who work who have a self worth and care about others will never be a part of this. That's what I see in the Tea party. They care for our country and the future."Where is the anti-war movement?" the marching orders of the media, Universities,and left elites have not been issued. When they have lost power they will summon their followers. Simply good versus evil or Ying and yang. Eternal tug of war.
