Didn't Eisenhower refuse to meet with Truman?

That was probably more Truman than Ike, the former hating the latter for rebuffing his entreaties to run as a Dem.  I don't think Truman did squat in the transition...

Wasn't there a plot twist in The Matrix where one of the people who knew everything was fake nevertheless tried to sabotage the efforts of the good guys, because he was comfortable in the manufactured reality and didn't want them pulling aside the proverbial curtain?  I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but seem to remember something like that from it. It describes an awful lot of people today. People who should, and in fact do, know better. But they prefer the familiarity, stability, and comfort of unreality and servitude. It's kind of like a domesticated animal. When it has been finally broken of its animal nature, it will voluntarily return to its cage because it knows things no other way.

Cypher.

"Ignorance is bliss", he said.  Quite ironic, considering the reward for his betrayal was to be returned, rich, to the Matrix, which "Agent Smith" knew was impossible.

Same goes for the cyphers today who prefer their cages.

   Romneys ideas sucked for two years now he wants to hear them??Isn't he admitting that Romney did have the answers? This isn't like Obongo to admit that somebody else s ideas are better.All this is is a photo op.

They still think the playing field is level and the rules are fairly applied to one and all...they are naive, they are weak, they are compliant, they are cowards...they are dead to me.

Unless Romney and Ryan are there to tell him they will work nite and day to stop him ( or give him a good cussing), I see no reason to speak to the unreasonable.

Just got off the phone with someone who called telling me we didn't win the election but we protected our conservative majority in the House.
I stopped her and said no we didn't!

We protected a Republican majority in the House. They aren't the same thing.
You're talking to the wrong guy

Imagine.

She hung up on me

No we worked to remove two conservative republicans. There is nothing conservative on the hill.

Problem with Red States uniting is that even the Red States aren't all that anchored to small government, and none of them are void of bureaucracies and over-regulation. Even the good ones are far from what is truly needed.

Even among those that we consider "true" Red States, the ones that could be counted on in such a coalition could be counted on one hand, and their impact would be nil, with the possible exception of Texas.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

It was disappointing to see Governor Brewer drop out from her stand against Obamacare.
