>> i pledged to be of service to barack obama. >> i pledge to be a servant to our president. john: they sure drink the kool-aid. but why do so many loved politicians to push bigger government? they are not all stupid? some are but part of it is always the tendency to support what their peers support and hollywood supports liberalism but why did it becomes a leftist? i have some theories. because so many actors are good-looking men - maybe the became famous through a luy audition or a lucky break for good looks so government must intervene to make life more fair. no? how about this. since actors work for others ey half to do with those government burden than those

it is not about studying data from their coz comi entitlement bigger see is a math problem just arithmetic. i can see disaster but the emotional actor says you want to limit the promise to entitlement? you want to killed grand by and do a commercial to detect paul ryan to push her off the cliff. they often wind through the emotional appeal spinet they relate to their emotions but scientific explanation but that is all i got. you have got better idea? tell us what you think on facebook or twitter. but end with a sliver of good news for those who are libertarian or a conservative like clint eastwood and tom selleck and kevin sorbo. i am told kurt russell and i
