If Mr. Sanders is so corruptible, the voters should choose someone like Hillary Clinton, with her devotion to Lady Poverty.
Thank you. I forget that everyone doesn’t know who they are or the abbreviation they usually use to describe themselves. A fast growing, but still relatively small Christian denomination.
Even if his price is a social-democratic America?
The Kochs aren’t buying politicians, they are “buying” voters. They understand the new game of politics better than most. Buying politicians is so old hat and they don’t stay bought anyway. But get voters riled up and they’ll nominate candidates you like for you.
Ah. Well, considering what the actual Nazis did to Jehovah’s Witnesses (pretty much the same thing, right? ;)), one can perhaps understand SDAs being a bit paranoid . . .
Well, it’s true that the Koch organ Americans for Prosperity played an important role in starting the Tea Party movement . . . but, considering how much traction Donald Trump is now getting with the Teabaggers, Charles and David might now be thinking that they have foolishly called up something that they cannot again put down . . .
Trump isn’t really a Tea Party phenomenon. He draws support from across the GOP spectrum, mainly due to name recognition. The Tea Party candidates are Ted Cruz and to a lesser extent Carly Fiorina.
That’s why Rubio might end up being the guy in the end. He’s the only one with cred in all the factions of the GOP. Sure, everyone has a little problem with him, but no one has a huge problem with him.
Carson is your typical evangelical favorite, aside from the fact that he’s not a politician. But his voters are mainly from the same group that supported Huck and then Santorum, plus a few first time voters who are attracted to his newness.
He really is looking like a game changer. He turned a single mom piano player into a $100,000 bundler:
Right over here, huge. Like this sort of huge.

Yeah, that’s the sort of thing gets on my nerves.
Ben Carson is baffled by physics:
Since physicists don’t even yet know what gravity IS, I wouldn’t exactly call that a particularly ignorant statement.
Especially for him. It’s like getting Stalin for jaywalking.
Fuckin’ magnets, how do they work?
Very small tractor beams.
Looks like he’s reporting a nice quarterly fundraising haul. Not Clinton or Sanders money but in the broad field 20 million is big. Of course. his position in the polls should come with increased fundraising. If he wasn’t raising a lot it would suggest either campaign staff mismanagement or a weakness in his actual support.
Less than two weeks till we get the released quarterly financials to see where the entire field stacks up.
Sometimes candidates do well in the polls but are still poor fundraisers. Huckabee won Iowa and still couldn’t raise anything in 2008. Carson’s fundraising is remarkable. And means he is actually going to be a contender.
Physicists have specific technical questions about gravity and how to reconcile it with quantum mechanics in those regimes where both are significant. What happens in a black hole, or what happened in the very early universe – these are hard questions. How gravity works here on Earth is much more well understood, and in fact technology like the Global Positioning System relies on this understanding.
Carson seems to be saying something more like: “Look, science is really hard, so let’s not listen to it when it comes to global warming.”
There’s a big difference between what can be disproven and what can’t be. Climate change is forecasting and unfalsifiable. I accept that there’s good science behind the forecasts and the data supports it, but let’s be clear that in order for climate change to be hard science, it has to be falsifiable and it isn’t.
