Blaming expensive, lying and sleazy ads among other things,
Rick Perry has dropped out of the Republican presidential contest.
COMMENTS:
It is a matter of weeks or less before Santorum goes; he
will probably hang around long enough to see where the Perry and Huntsman
votes migrate, and I think they will end up in Gingrich’s pocket. Paul might hang around until the bitter end
in hopes of retaining some sway in the Republican convention and platform. Effectively, however, the Romney-Gingrich
scenario is now lining up and the question looms: Will it morph into a Romney-Gingrich ticket?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I was reading that our satellite weather system is in
danger of crumbling due to lack of funding.
With all of the money they are throwing around, how can that be? (York ~ Roseville, CA)
A. It’s an old Chicago-style political trick; when the
taxpayers won’t divvy up any more money, quit fixing the potholes in the
streets. The aging satellite system needs
about $1 billion in new gear or our weather forecasting will suffer. Obviously, they want you to get rained on, on
a scheduled sunny day.
Q. Why do you really think Obama wants to talk with the
Iranians? (Samantha ~ Eugene, OR)
A. China is very afraid of losing its access to Middle East
oil. They are nervous about sanctions
against Iran. The U.S. owes China one
gazillion tons of money. I think they
called Obama and told him to settle his differences with Iran and avoid the
sanctions.
Q. Romney now looks like a loser more than ever before. He was refusing to reveal his income tax information at all, then
finally relented and said he would do it after the Republican Convention if he
is the nominee. He got nailed in recent
Fox debates with the legitimate question, “Why don’t Republicans have a right
to know about his qualifications for the office before the primaries are over?” Now, Romney says he “might” post his returns
in April. Does he have something to
hide?
A. Obama won’t produce his birth certificate, so why should
Romney produce his tax returns? Given
the politically sensitive nature of the issue, I have to surmise there is
something in them that he's afraid for us to see.
