Remember that commercial in 2008 about the phone ringing at 3am and who should be the one to answer it? I think a great RNC ad now would show the answering machine pick up and deliver a recording of one of Obama's lame excuses for not being available.

The police would have come but you didn't want to pay higher taxes and they are short one squad car. So, it's your fault. If you want to complain, the Chief will be back from Hawaii in two weeks. All of the crime and fiscal problems have really worn him out.

Tuck: Let's be reactionary about it.  Let's go back to the not-so-distant past (150, 200 years ago?) when most folks lived in one-room houses, often with parents reproducing in the same bed that their children slept in.  Or back a little farther, before there were one-room houses, and parents just did it out in the open, as did the neighbors.  We build modern civilization on this foundation. 

Therefore, I'm not too worried about kids finding out about sex at an early age, as this has been the norm for most of history.

"In the past, women were mostly objectified. Now, they are denigrated, humiliated and abused. "

You're kidding, right?  Women, and men, have been ill-treated for all of recorded history.  Rape of the Sabine Woman, anyone, for starters?  That founded Rome... ยท 32 minutes ago

But, they weren't photographed and put on the web for little kids all over the world to see.

My main issue is that because most porn has been targeted for male consumption, women are seen as playthings for them. In the past, women were mostly objectified. Now, they are denigrated, humiliated and abused. Young kids do not have the maturity to know that this is not how things are supposed to be. This is particularly disturbing when young girls accept this type of treatment as the norm because it is so pervasive on the web and in music. Just sad.

Also. There would have been no chance to have Ted Cruz if Kay Bailey Hutchison had chosen to run again.

Many of you have proved a sad point. You blame the voters. You feel that if it's our fool in office, at least we get some more power. The incumbents have gamed the system making it nearly impossible to get them out.

My concern is losing to a Democrat. Mark was a great Congressman, but the only County that he lost to Bostic was Beaufort County. This is where he grew up! He also lost that county in the first primary.

Electability is my worry.

If this gets to you in time, I would love to hear Pat's thoughts on our crazy District 1 Congressional race here in SC. Mark Sanford etc.

Have a great weekend!

If it took 4 years for the low info voters to get rid of Jimmy Carter and 8 years for Obama, does it mean that they are twice as stupid?

Re: On Tenure

Andrew

Good for you, but I think tenure should be done away with. Academic freedom is no more important than freedom of any kind. People get fired for wearing crosses at work.

Tenure seems to allow progressive kooks to continue to be progressive kooks rather than to promote academic freedom. If you are good at what you do, then you will always find work.

I believe that The St. Louis Cardinals will eek out the Reds in the NL this year and win the World Series over The Baltimore Orioles in 6 games.
