Rural Thoughts

The political pundits are stretching hard to find something to talk about in regard to the republican presidential nomination. Romney won, wow! Quelle Chance! But the turnout was low and he didn't even get 50% of the vote.

I actually heard his victory speech last night on WBBM as I drove home. Rush Limbaugh says it was his best speech ever. His speech was ridiculous. He kept talking about "economic freedom" and "free markets" and how this is what was needed to save the economy. Oh really?

I suppose the TARP was a good example of these free markets? But like so many of these super rich people, it seems that if it is their ilk that is getting the public aid by the billions, it doesn't count as socialism or government handouts or welfare. But if some working class, unemployed person gets a couple hundred dollars a week unemployment checks extended for a couple months, then that is socialism and is the downfall of society. What a crock of you know what!

Romney has less chance to carry Illinois than the proverbial snowball does in hell.
