Nausea addendum

Help is on the way
Once we get healthcare reform
He'll get Dramamine!

Congress shall make no law...

JFK believed
In church-state separation
in the Bill of Rights

Santorum says this
Just makes him want to vomit
As he makes me, too

Constitutional Supremacy Clause

The Constitution
Makes Federal law supreme
Over all the states

Some don't remember
And want to nullify laws
That they do not like

Haven't we done this
Back before the Civil War?
War destroyed Dixie

Nullification
Is a path to disunion
And then to chaos

higher education--a left wing strategy?

Is college a plot
Rick Santorum says it is
left-wing brainwashing

Was the GI Bill
Intended as a means to
Secularism?

Or maybe college
Gives us productive workers
Not fooled by Rick's lies

No wonder Rick's scared
With better education
He'd be out of work!

Liar Liar Pants on Fire

Politicians lie
On a regular basis
GOP debate

In Arizona
Romney, Gingrich, Santorum
Vied for the biggest

Obamacare won't
As Santorum claimed last night
Boost the deficit

Romney suggested
Government workers make more
Than private sector

Research says this is false
Private sector employees
Make more than public

Romney is also
Running from his own record
On contraception

The national press
Has been down on Obama
Liberal press much?

Santorum and the Constitution

The oath of office

requires that the President

protect and defend

the Constitution

including the amendments

and the bill of rights

Is Rick Santorum

qualified to take the oath

since he seems to think

"God's" law overrides

the protection provided

by the amendments?

This is frightening

Unless "protect and defend"

really means "ignore"

stupidity

Santorum argues
Prenatal testing is bad
Immoral parents

He must not know that
Sarah Palin's last baby
Has a birth defect

Trig has Down Syndrome
Palin had prenatal tests
And knew in advance

She was like most moms
Not having an abortion
She prepared instead

Sarah Palin as
An argument against fools
An oxymoron

If Rick Santorum
Receives the GOP nod
Who will vote for him?

Only bigger fools,
Bigots, misogynists,
I sincerely hope

His conception of
The American voter
Has just miscarried

Contraception wars

Congressman Issa
Heard expert testimony
On contraception

The "experts" were male
Issa allowed only them
An all male hearing

Women excluded
Just like a secret clubhouse
When we were all kids

"Plays well with others"
A kindergarten watchword
But not for Issa

"No girls are allowed"
In Issa's secret clubhouse
He gets to make laws?

Democrats walked out
Removing themselves from an
Abomination

quick hits

Santorum paid tax
On nearly one million bucks
Man of the people

---------------

When Newt was Speaker
He was investigated
And had to resign

Now he refuses
To release the documents
From that period

He claims "wild goose chase"
Even though he paid a fine
And had to resign

Cleared by IRS
But unethical actions
Might still be legal

Is Mitt in trouble
With Rick's surge in Michigan
Some favorite son

Romney's dog

Dogs against Romney
A real animal rights group
Or some kind of front

Apparently Mitt
Kept his dog on the car roof
For twelve poop-filled hours

Fido got distressed
Mitt sprayed a hose to cool him
Life can be a b*tch

Mitt Romney gets little love from mutts

Santorum Surge?

Polls now indicate
Santorum threatens Romney
Just don't Google him.

Can Rick beat Barack?
Can Romney beat Santorum?
Does Gingrich matter?

The GOP race
Seems like a soap opera
Tune in tomorrow!

Obama "designer" fundraising items

Obama campaign
Selling designer handbags
GOP cries foul

Items underpriced
Might mean gift violation
From corporations

With super-pac bucks
And negative ads its a

Homophobes beware

Proposition 8
Anti-gay religious groups
Pushed California

They won at the polls
But law by referendum
Must have some limits

Ron Paul on rape, abortion

Ron Paul would allow
Abortions in rape cases
But a caveat

"Rape" means "honest rape"
Whatever "honest rape" means
And who gets to judge

I want to explain
Just how outrageous this is
Metaphor fails me

Ron Paul tells Piers Morgan about "honest rape"

Romney wins Nevada

Mitt won Nevada
By a very large margin
Did he beat the spread?

The delegate to
Noise ratio up to now
Remains very low      (In spite of multiple wins, Romney only has about 80 delegates, for example)

Short takes

A Gingrich staffer
"polished" wiki pages on
Callista Gingrich

The edits reframe
negative info about
Callista and Newt

Going back three years
Unabashed image upgrades
Conflict of interest?

Newt Gingrich's Communications Director Polished Callista's Wikipedia Page 23 Times

Romney says the poor
not his first priority
Maybe he's tone deaf?

Who Cares about the Poor?

Politics is all
About public perception
These guys don't get it

Teacher pay

'Bama lawmaker
Has strong opinions on pay
Say the news reports:

Teachers must be called
Not attracted by higher pay
Or quality falls

But legislators
Must be paid highly enough
So bribes don't tempt them

Clearly his teachers
Were paid insufficiently
Darn Republicans

See article here

Florida results

Mitt wins Florida
Nearly a majority
Pretty impressive

Other candidates
Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum
Claim to be uncowed

Will they all survive
The whole primary process
Or will they drop out?

Next we get a lull
A few caucuses and then
it's Super Tuesday
