I was a missionary in Japan. Our mission home was a LOT nicer than any of the places the other missionaries lived in. We didn't have any sisters living in the Mission home at all, so everywhere I lived was a "dive" compared to almost any apartment in the States. I used a bucket to wash with because most of the places I lived in had no showers. We had the big O-furo (large bathtubs).<br /><br />My son is in Central America, and sometimes uses his chlorinated water for his dishes to wash with when his apartment runs out of water. I don't know ANYONE who has served as a missionary for our Church who has lived in really nice conditions for the entire time they served.<br /><br />AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-58116701799884245082011-12-18T10:47:35.008-05:002011-12-18T10:47:35.008-05:00RW, now you're on the game.

The saturation of endorsements is on full.<br /><br />Here's a tidbit for ya re the Des Moines Register endorsement. The progressive hook up with ABC news says a lot when they had the debate there:<br /><br />http://saf.li/16qGe<br /><br />Forget about the RP stuff. The oligarchs want Mitt, for they fear obama will get down deep in their pockets. They want control of the gov't, but they don't want the marxists picking their pockets. Their problem, as you mention, is to get the ABR's to accept him as a man cut from the same cloth. <br /><br />The operators here don't want to discontinue the attack Newt gambit, so they're behind the big guyz who are trying to consolidate the cattle 'round Romney.<br /><br />The Red Team / Blue Team stuff is getting obsolete now, so if the Repubs loose again, the Third Party can branch off as you mentioned. Everything has a shelf life & the boyz have pushed it too far. Having the looser Dole endorse Mitt is hilarious.

According to Rasmussen, self-identified Republicans make up 34.3% of the electorate. According to Gallup, 76% of those voters prefer ABR. That accounts for a staggering 26.07% of the general electorate. A majority of those will almost certainly fall in line by November, but he will need at least 90-95% of the ABRs to have a chance. <br /><br />Could it be that the MittHeads believe that he will garner enough votes from Dems and indies to make up for the countless conservatives who are likely to stay home? I suspect that to be the plan, but I'm not aware of an election in recent history that actually played out that way.<br /><br />In short, MittHeads need to start courting the ABRs. Constant mockery and ridicule of those who see things differently will only compound the problems that Mitt has with the base.<br /><br />It's going to be a long year.....Right Wingnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387554010360328076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-24815078931974364622011-12-18T00:48:02.030-05:002011-12-18T00:48:02.030-05:00Lionhead,

The playbook is not new, so if you reflect a bit you'll see it. <br /><br />The daily campaign noise is just that; but it will be woven into the play as a tapestry. Think of Newt 'n Mitt as trial balloons that have floated higher than the rest. One may succeed, or both may pop.<br /><br />If the 'third man' is needed for warmth, he will appear when the time has come. If Mr. Potatohead had acted his part right, he may have had a chance.
