Buggernut Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 What's more, with all the talk about the impending "fiscal cliff", wouldn't the Repubs want the Democrats to be in charge and take the blame for it in time for 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddhas Hand Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 While the U.S. recently nearly elected a multimillionaire as president, Uruguay's chief executive, Jose Mujica, declared his personal wealth in 2010 as the equivalent of about $1,800 and gives away 90 percent of his $12,000 monthly presidential salary in order to remain true to his political roots with the leftist guerrilla group Tupamaros. He has rejected the government-provided mansion and instead lives with his wife at her family's farmhouse, where he helps work the land, according to a November BBC News profile from Montevideo. "I have to do (this)," he told a reporter, "because there are many Uruguayans who live with much less." [bBC News, 11-14-2012] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerg Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Could it be a case of "Save the better candidate for 2016", when they figure he would have a better chance without having to go up against Obama (if they have any, that is)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tearloch7 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Mitt wanted to be President more than anything else in the world .. in fact, he felt entitled to be the Commander in Chief .. too bad for him, and luckily for us, enough people saw thru his "tin man" routine and prevented his ascension to the throne .. sour grapes and denial are obvious ploys to assuage hit immense ego after being beat by a Black man ..
