Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without color,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion…

Hey Christie you listening ?

“Christie vetoed N.J. pigs bill to charm Iowa ahead of 2016, critics say” OUCH!!!

All the straw poll does is keep Iowa in the news long past its expiration date. If memory serves, the press droned on and on and on about the leader/winner of the Iowa straw poll as if it was the concluding event in electoral politics. It serves only the moneyed interests and has nothing to do with the 99% of voters. If the GOP like it, then it is a given that it benefits 1%er’s only.

Oh come on, we want to know who the inspiring minds are of the right that wanna play president.
But we see you, trying to hide all the contestants from scrunity and embarrasment of who the brightest minds of the right are.
Last time was bachman, right. bless her intelligent soul. (yuck)
I suppose you all will try to have just 2 debates on outfoxya channel to better your chances of not showing the real geniuses among you. Another words, dumbing down the USA from the start this time.
Give it a go but I don’t think it will work this time.

Meaningless side-shows are what Republicans do best.

Given that Iowa is hardly a tourist destination, this “event” is a way to get both candidates and media to drop large sums on the state and into the party coffers. They will continue it until the candidates refuse to play…perhaps the twelfth of Never.
