Karl
Rove to RNC chair: Stop The Donald’s debate
By
Nia-Malika Henderson
Karl Rove blasted Donald Trump this
weekend, saying his upcoming Newsmax debate host gig is a big “ego trip” for
the real-estate mogul and reality-show host, and that the Republican National
Committee should discourage the 2012 GOP candidates from attending.
Cassi Creek:
Donald Trump plans to moderate a GOP
debate. The word “farce” comes to
mind. So does “shill,” “staged,” and “sham.”
…”“What the heck are the Republican
candidates doing showing up at a debate with a guy who says I may run for president next year as an independent,” he
said. “I think the Republican national chairman ought to step in and say we
strongly discourage every candidate from appearing in a debate moderated by
somebody who is going to run for president.”
RNC Chair Reince
Priebus said Sunday that it’s up to the individual candidates to decide whether
they will participate.
Ron Paul and Jon M. Huntsman Jr. have said they
won’t be at the debate, while current frontrunner Newt Gingrich has said he will attend “for the
entertainment value.”
And Huntsman had this to say about the Trump debate.
“I’m not going to kiss his ring and I’m not going to kiss any
other part of his anatomy. This is exactly what is wrong with politics. It is
show business over substance. If he had any courage at all he would be running
for President of the United States of America as opposed to manipulating the
process from the outside,” Huntsman said on Fox’s “American’s Newsroom.” “This
is about real issues; it’s not about show business. The Presidency of the
United States of America is more important than the silly game shows and
reality shows.”
Alabama
considers prison labor to replace lost immigrants

Cassi Creek: Posted to CNN today:
Stev Lenon “It
is time for the media, CNN included, to cease the elevation of Trump to a false
level of personal importance by affording him his "the" designator.
He has no political or social importance. He is a boorish, vain, self-obsessed,
petty man who would interest no women and few men but for his inherited money.
Drop the use of "the" when discussing him on the air or on line, or
line up and admit that CNN also dances to his fiddlers.”
We know that
money decides elections. We know that
the teavangelists and the remainder of the GOP are experts at finding corporate
sponsors to fund their re-elections. We
know that the Supreme Court’s decision that corporations are deemed to be
persons is simply a mechanism for increasing corporate abilities to purchase
their own stables of elected officials.
We haven’t progressed very much beyond the 1920s in social or political
behaviors.
We have a teavangelist
Congress determined to strip away all social safety nets, eliminate public
education, force women to live as breeding stock, and to use minorities for
slave labor.
Alabama, hot bed of
social reform, has instituted the means to deport the illegal aliens it can
identify and imprison. The unplanned
outcome of this legislation is the loss of field laborers to be hired at
criminally low daily wages by the morally upright, good Christian farmers of
Alabama. The illegals were working those
fields because the U.S. born citizens of Alabama had already refused to work
those same fields for such miserly compensation.
Now, faced with loss of
farm revenues, Alabama appears willing to turn the calendar back to antebellum
times. The state is proposing the use of
prisoners in the penal system as farm workers to work privately owned
farms. One can almost hear the crack of
whips and the impassioned defense of “states’ rights” in defense of a “prisoners
for hire program that seems to be little different from the slavery of
plantation days. It is not at all hard
to envision corporate prisons trading prisoners with other prisons to maximize
work outcomes while minimizing the cost/prisoner.
One has to ask if those
illegals waiting in prisons to be deported will be acceptable as farm workers
if they are remanded to a corporate prison until they can be deported in a
rapid and timely manner – say just about a week after the crops are all in. This little scheme should thrill
Gingrich. He can quit worrying that
there will be too many poor kids for the available janitor’s jobs.
