Info Ink’s 2011 Dumbass Award #2

I know we already give an Assie award at the end of the year….but there are those that say sh*t that does not qualify as an anal statement but is just doffus enough to be a dumbass statement….and we have our second one of the year…this one comes from ousted rep. and future presidential candidate…..Rick Santorum…..(this guy is gonna be a great source for comments in the coming months)…..

Since wunder kid Paul Ryan has unveiled his Tea Party inspired “Path to Poverty….oh sorry my bad….Path to Prosperity” the Right has lit up with tap dancing about the proposal to eliminate Medicare in favor of some voucher system……Santorum when discussing this proposal said…..

I know our seniors! They’d love to give up their healthcare!”

Apparently, Ricky does not get out much….other than the wealthy clients that want to buy his candidacy…but I have talked to many seniors and have NOT met one that would give up their Medicare even if they had an additional policy……seniors want what they have been paying for all those years!

If Ricky wants to be prez maybe he should spend more time with the voters and a little less with the checkbooks of heavy donors….just saying!

Which Way Do You Swing?

College of Political Knowledge

Subject:  Political Theory

Gotcha!  No, this is not some post on being sexual….one way or the other…..it is about political theory…..as any political philosopher would do….ask you questions and have you answer and then learn about one’s self……

Are you a conservative or a liberal?  You may take a political aptitude tests that tells you if you lean left or right….but are you a conserv?  Or maybe a liberal?  Could a Marxist slip in there?  I will not give you the answer but ask some questions and see where the answers lead….

Do you believe in……?

Privatization of public services

Deregulation of the economy

A more liberal trade and industrial policy

Massive tax cuts

Monetarist policies to check inflation, even at the chance of high unemployment

Strict controls of organized labor

reduction of social spending

down sizing government

expansion of international markets

remove controls of world financial flows

Are you on board with any of these proposals?

Please all my readers give me their thoughts  on this…..I will explain in the comment section after I have heard from you guys…..thanx for playing along….I appreciate it…..
