Part of what amazes me about breeze-through-town scam artists like this and how successful they are is what Edg says above, the fact that after all these decades people are so GULLIBLE. The other part echoes Edg's sadness. What does it say about the technology that will lead to perfect health, perfect happiness, immortality, and invinc- ibility that so many who have paid so much for it for so many years line up to get healed by some stranger breezing through town. One would think that TBs would realize that just by showing up at the lecture, much less booking a healing, they are revealing the fact that they have lost their belief in the TM movement and are forced to go somewhere else to find hope. And the third part of my amazement at this scam is that no one seems to have noticed that the guy stole Maharishi's whole scam approach and took it even further. I don't have the interest to look up the original post to check the numbers, but how many scientific studies did he claim had been done. In the thousands, wasn't it? How to out-steal Maharishi?

[FairfieldLife] Historians speak out against proposed Texas textbook changes
Historians on Tuesday criticized proposed revisions to the Texas social studies curriculum, saying that many of the changes are historically inaccurate and that they would affect textbooks and classrooms far beyond the state's borders. The changes, which were preliminarily approved last week by the Texas board of education and are expected to be given final approval in May, will reach deeply into Texas history classrooms, defining what textbooks must include and what teachers must cover. The curriculum plays down the role of Thomas Jefferson among the founding fathers, questions the separation of church and state, and claims that the U.S. government was infiltrated by Communists during the Cold War. Because the Texas textbook market is so large, books assigned to the state's 4.7 million students often rocket to the top of the market, decreasing costs for other school districts and leading them to buy the same materials. The books that are altered to fit the standards become the bestselling books, and therefore within the next two years they'll end up in other classrooms, said Fritz Fischer, chairman of the National Council for History Education, a group devoted to history teaching at the pre-college level. It's not a partisan issue, it's a good history issue. Each subject in Texas's curriculum is revised every 10 years, and the basic social studies framework was introduced by a panel of teachers last year. But the elected state board of education, which is comprised of 10 Republicans and five Democrats, has made more than 100 amendments to the curriculum since January. Discussions ranged from whether President Reagan should get more attention (yes), whether hip-hop should be included as part of lessons on American culture (no), and whether President of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis's inaugural address should be studied alongside Abraham Lincoln's (yes). Of particular contention was the requirement that lessons on McCarthyism note that the later release of the Venona papers confirmed suspicions of communist infiltration in U.S. government. The Venona papers document communication between the Soviet Union and its spies. Historians dispute the extent to which transcripts show Soviet involvement in American government. Also contentious were changes that asserted Christian faith of the founding fathers. Historians say the founding fathers had a variety of approaches to religion and faith; some, like Jefferson, were quite secular. Some textbook authors expressed discomfort with the state board's changes, and it is unclear how readily historians will go along with some of the proposals. I'm made uncomfortable by mandates of this kind for sure, said Paul S. Boyer, emeritus professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of several of the most popular U.S. history textbooks, including some that are on the approved list in Texas. Boyer said he had not fully reviewed the Texas curriculum and did not know how he would respond to it. But he added that in theory, changes in his text could be required that would make him uncomfortable endorsing his own book. Texas school districts are able to buy books that the state board rejects but designates as containing at least half the required curriculum -- but they'll have to use their own money to do so. Almost all currently use state funds to buy textbooks off the approved list, said Suzanne Marchman, a spokeswoman for the Texas Education Agency. One publisher said Tuesday that changes in technology, including the introduction of online components, make it easier and cheaper to tailor textbooks to specific states and requirements, and downplayed the impact that Texas's decisions would have on the rest of the country. We now have the ability to deliver completely customized content to different states, said Joseph Blumenfeld, spokesman for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, one of three major publishers that supply Texas with most of its social studies textbooks. But some historians weren't so certain. Fischer, who is a historian at University of Northern Colorado, noted that first-year teachers fall back on what's most readily available to them -- their textbooks. Teachers have a lot to do and a lot on their plate, and if there's a nice big textbook that the kids have been taking home, they'll use it, he said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/17/AR2010031700560.html

I like the Ponemans and Chris Janet Attwood. Janet has brought some good people to town, such as Lynn Twist of the Panchamama Alliance. But I'm afraid they have a track record bring or running rip-off things. Fred Poneman was head of an investment firm that used high-pressure tactics to get people into risky investments who never should have touched them. They were responsible for a lot of people losing a lot of money and were eventually shut down by the SEC. The Attwoods brought a multi-level thing to town that they claimed they had researched thoroughly. That eventually fell flat too. But I'm not above blame. I brought a guy to town who charged $3750 or so for a T-Bonds trading course, which turned out to be ineffective. About 30 people took it and I made $10K in commissions. It ended up fizzling out. In my defense, I hadn't taken the course myself and all of us who took it did as much due diligence as possible together before signing up, but I still feel bad about having facilitated it.

On many of the key, important issues I have, through quotes and citations, tried to show Off that the two gentlemen are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. I have been reading Ron Paul for years and admire him on many points he makes. I am almost completely opposed to what Barack Obama stands for. Yes, Paul and Obama agree on a few things, such as their opposition to the Iraq War (although they come to it from the opposite reasons). But on practically everything else, they disagree.

[FairfieldLife] Miscellaneous Road Trip updates
Just a few sitting-in-a-Borders thinking about being in Santa Fe again after 6 years away impressions: * The most striking thing is how genuinely friendly most people have been. I had forgotten about that New Mexico openness and hospitality and just plain courtesy. That's a pleasant change from Europe, where people tend to be more reserved, especially those in service professions. * The most shocking thing has been working in my hotel room from time to time with the TV on and seeing commer- cials for literally the first time in over six years. I simply don't understand how you people stand for the *number* of them, much less the content. * The content is really revealing about the state of America. Endless commercials for competing insurance companies (A 15 minute call will save you 15%), end- less commercials for drugs and medicines to cure what ails you, equally endless commercials for companies to get debt collectors off your backs or reduce the amount of money you owe the IRS. This is not a healthy country, or one in good economic shape. Spain is one of the least healthy economies in the EU, and we don't see fear-based panic pitches like this; it almost feels as if all of these ads are generated by people trying to make a last buck from panicky people before it all falls apart. * Shopping, although I don't really need much of anything, is interesting in that it's like going to Hong Kong. The difference between the Euro and the dollar is so great at this point that I look at a price and have to think 40% discount to figure out how much it really costs me. But to be honest, about all I'm going to pick up while here are some new jeans (still overpriced in Europe for some reason) and a big bagful of New Mexico green chiles, which one simply cannot get in Spain, or elsewhere for that matter. And maybe a couple of bottles of good sippin' tequila, which one also cannot find in Spain. * Overall, the women of New Mexico have had my eyes poppin' out since I've been here, but that's more a facet of New Mexico than the US. Very little makeup, no need to play dressup, no attempt to conceal who they are, and instead a level of comfort with who they are that I find very refreshing after France and Spain. * On the other hand, it being Santa Fe, sitting in a restaurant forced to overhear the conversation at the next table had me close to puking. Endless repetitions of New Age Crapola spoken as if the person saying it had never noticed that she'd been spouting the same bullshit for decades without it affecting her life in any way. I finally had to get up and move to another table. * One pleasant thing has been the amount of attention paid in Santa Fe to healthier living and sustainable crops and GM-free foods. Got to go into my first Whole Foods in six years, and found it a pleasurable experience, although WAY overpriced. * And, of course, the best thing about Santa Fe when I lived here is still the best thing about Santa Fe now. The sunsets. Santa Fe still does sunsets that make you sigh and be thankful you're alive. Makes the whole trip worth- while. Maybe more later, but now I've got to head out and soak up a little sun in today's T-shirt weather before the next snowstorm rolls in. That, too, is part of what makes Santa Fe so unique and wonderful. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's Art Walk along Canyon Road, to see where the art scene is at these days. Later. Maybe.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Quiet Zone -another story
http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/fairfields-proposed-quiet-zone-putting-safety-first/ This page is attracting a lot of comments, including from 2 City Council members. The latest is around the proposal to close Main St rr crossing which will yield another $50,000 cash to the City from BNSF. I understand there needs to be a public hearing on this. So my purpose here is to attract a lot of discussion to the issue first so that all sides and facts get aired well before any formal public hearing. Hopefully this will allow the process to go ahead more smoothly and more quickly. I personally would prefer Court St were closed as Main St is the main route for walkers and cyclists going from the University into town. But I would happily make the detour to Court St or 2nd if that was the best way to get the Quiet Zone enacted quickly. I believe more public discussion is important as there is a huge illusion that this issue is a huge ** PROBLEM** for roo-townie relations. The comments and poll however show a very different picture. Most want this done if it is done with private funds. So working out the details over which crossings to close is the only obstacle I see to getting this thing finished --- finally! And I think having it finished will help in the roo-townie issue as well. The politics behind this issue is discussed in a new article here: http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/we-all-want-what-is-best-for-fairfield/ --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, brian64705 no_re...@... wrote: http://www.fairfieldvoice.com/2010/03/16/fairfields-proposed-quiet-zone-putting-safety-first/

Spain is one of the least healthy economies in the EU, and we don't see fear-based panic pitches like this; it almost feels as if all of these ads are generated by people trying to make a last buck from panicky people before it all falls apart. Companies are desperate during this depression. I get daily spam from companies like Amazon a just a few years back might send an email once in a blue moon. You can measure how bad the real economy by the desperation. I'm seeing companies cut the size of their products in half but charging you almost what the old product cost at twice the size. For instance the local Raley's outlet has their generic salsa on sale in a jar half the size it used to come in at that price. Here's the rub: I go to nearby Lucky's and the old size is still there and maybe only 50 cents more. Raley's, which is a nice store and the closest is losing some sales by me to Lucky's which is two miles away. Different companies have different ways of dealing with the economy. I bet the average person in Spain did not have access to credit like people here in the US. People are still living on their credit cards a lot hoping the economy will return any day now. They try to keep up appearances that way and are essentially living in a dream world. My youngest nephew is celebrating his 50th birthday this weekend. In accordance with prior sibling's parties his folks are throwing a bash at an expensive restaurant. And I know they really can't afford it. But people are doing it all over. And don't bring them to with any information on the economy they just don't want to hear it. If they are losing their home then they just figure everyone else is in the same boat and things will work themselves out. As for credit cards some people are handing the cashiers their credit cards and hearing it was rejected and finding the card has been closed. This particularly with Citibank and people who regularly pay off the balance. Hint: let them make a few dollars on you occasionally by amortizing some larger purchases. Doesn't have to be much but the dumb computer just puts you in a profitable customer category and they won't cancel. Bottom line, the US economy may actually be worse off than Spain's. * Shopping, although I don't really need much of anything, is interesting in that it's like going to Hong Kong. The difference between the Euro and the dollar is so great at this point that I look at a price and have to think 40% discount to figure out how much it really costs me. But to be honest, about all I'm going to pick up while here are some new jeans (still overpriced in Europe for some reason) and a big bagful of New Mexico green chiles, which one simply cannot get in Spain, or elsewhere for that matter. And maybe a couple of bottles of good sippin' tequila, which one also cannot find in Spain. If there is a Fry's in Sante Fe there are good deals on Anchor Bay's horror Blurays at $9 each. I picked up Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead and I may go back and get more this afternoon. Both have commentaries with George Romero which are a hoot and about his guerilla method of film making. Of course they probably won't play in Spain even if you have a Bluray player though I don't see anything on the cases saying they are region coded.

Endless repetitions of New Age Crapola spoken as if the person saying it had never noticed that she'd been spouting the same bullshit for decades without it affecting her life in any way. I finally had to get up and move to another table. * One pleasant thing has been the amount of attention paid in Santa Fe to healthier living and sustainable crops and GM-free foods. Got to go into my first Whole Foods in six years, and found it a pleasurable experience, although WAY overpriced. * And, of course, the best thing about Santa Fe when I lived here is still the best thing about Santa Fe now. The sunsets. Santa Fe still does sunsets that make you sigh and be thankful you're alive. Makes the whole trip worth- while. Maybe more later, but now I've got to head out and soak up a little sun in today's T-shirt weather before the next snowstorm rolls in. That, too, is part of what makes Santa Fe so unique and wonderful. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's Art Walk along Canyon Road, to see where the art scene is at these days. Later. Maybe. I went to Santa Fe with a friend some years ago [maybe 20 yrs back] to attend a meeting with a Swami Dayananda, a traditional teacher of Vedanta http://www.dayananda.org/ with whom I had had some very meaningful acquaintence and correspondence. Beautiful man. Wonderful meeting. I found Santa Fe to be a lovely, laid back and very pleasant place. My only complaint in the few short days we were there was that we got hopelessly lost one night and there were no fucking street lights in the town to see the names of the streets. Santa Fe just isn't that big but I remember we floundered driving around in the dark for what seemed like hours trying to get back to our motel. I never realized how we take for granted something as simple as street lights. I don't recall going anywhere that they didn't have them. Maybe these days it's different in Santa Fe.

[FairfieldLife] Is The Bible More Violent Than The Quran?
Is The Bible More Violent Than The Quran? by Barbara Bradley Hagerty - March 18, 2010 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100608 Much to my surprise, the Islamic scriptures in the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible. - Philip Jenkins, author http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100608 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100608 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=2100608 [Pages of the Gutenberg Bible.] Johanna Leguerre/AFP/Getty Images As the hijackers boarded the airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, they had a lot on their minds. And if they were following instructions, one of those things was the Quran. In preparation for the suicide attack, their handlers had told them to meditate on two chapters of the Quran in which God tells Muslims to cast terror into the hearts of unbelievers. Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them, Allah instructs the Prophet Muhammad (Quran, 9:5). He continues: Prophet! Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites! ... Hell shall be their home, an evil fate. When Osama bin Laden declared war on the West in 1996, he cited the Quran's command to strike off the heads of unbelievers. More recently, U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan lectured his colleagues about jihad, or holy war, and the Quran's exhortation to fight unbelievers and bring them low. Hasan is accused of killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, last year. Given this violent legacy, religion historian Philip Jenkins decided to compare the brutality quotient of the Quran and the Bible. Defense Vs. Total Annihilation Much to my surprise, the Islamic scriptures in the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible, Jenkins says. Jenkins is a professor at Penn State University and author of two books dealing with the issue: the recently published Jesus Wars, and Dark Passages , which has not been published but is already drawing controversy. Violence in the Quran, he and others say, is largely a defense against attack. By the standards of the time, which is the 7th century A.D., the laws of war that are laid down by the Quran are actually reasonably humane, he says. Then we turn to the Bible, and we actually find something that is for many people a real surprise. There is a specific kind of warfare laid down in the Bible which we can only call genocide. It is called herem, and it means total annihilation. Consider the Book of 1 Samuel, when God instructs King Saul to attack the Amalekites: And utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them, God says through the prophet Samuel. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey. When Saul failed to do that, God took away his kingdom. In other words, Jenkins says, Saul has committed a dreadful sin by failing to complete genocide. And that passage echoes through Christian history. It is often used, for example, in American stories of the confrontation with Indians not just is it legitimate to kill Indians, but you are violating God's law if you do not. Jenkins notes that the history of Christianity is strewn with herem. During the Crusades in the Middle Ages, the Catholic popes declared the Muslims Amalekites. In the great religious wars in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries, Protestants and Catholics each believed the other side were the Amalekites and should be utterly destroyed. 'Holy Amnesia' But Jenkins says, even though the Bible is violent, Christianity and Judaism today are not for the most part. What happens in all religions as they grow and mature and expand, they go through a process of forgetting of the original violence, and I call this a process of holy amnesia, Jenkins says. They make the violence symbolic: Wiping out the enemy becomes wiping out one's own sins. Jenkins says that until recently, Islam had the same sort of holy amnesia, and many Muslims interpreted jihad, for example, as an internal struggle, not physical warfare. Andrew Bostom calls this analysis preposterous. Bostom, editor of The Legacy of Jihad, says there's a major difference between the Bible, which describes the destruction of an enemy at a point in time, and the Quran, which urges an ongoing struggle to defeat unbelievers. It's an aggressive doctrine, he says. The idea is to impose Islamic law on the globe. Take suicide attacks, he says a tactic that Muslim radicals have used to great effect in the U.S., Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East. It's true that suicide from depression is forbidden in Islam but Bostom says the Quran and the Hadith, or the sayings of Muhammad, do allow self-destruction for religious reasons. The notion of jihad martyrdom is extolled in the Quran, Quran verse 9:1-11. And then in the Hadith, it's even more explicit. This is the highest form of jihad to kill and to be killed

So one possible reason for not having enough street lights is not having enough money to buy and install them. Another (pure speculation) may be light pollution, meaning that the people living on some of the streets prefer being able to see the stars to being able to see the street. That sorta thing happens around here. A common phenomenon is a dirt road filled with car-killing ruts that leads to one or more million-dollar houses. They could probably use their influence to have the road paved or regularly scraped, but many do not because a paved road invites looky-loos and they value their privacy more than they value their kidneys from bouncing on the rutted roads. A new addition since I was here last is RailRunner, which is a commuter train that runs between here and Albuquerque. Cost-effective, and much nicer than the one-hour drive each way for those who work there. It's been so successful that they're talking about extending it up to Denver.

[FairfieldLife] Barry: what can you tell us of Europe's reaction to Amanda Knox?
The following is from amazon.com's product description of the book Angel Face: the true story of student killer Amanda Knox: Despite all the airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it's still hard to reconcile the fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious killer convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British roommate. Few Americans have heard all of the powerful evidence that convinced a jury that Knox was one of three people to sexually assault Meredith Kercher, brutalize her body, and cut her throat. In Angel Face, Rome-based Daily Beast senior writer Barbie Latza Nadeau who cultivated personal relationships with the key figures in both the prosecution and the defense describes how the Knox family's heavy-handed efforts to control media coverage distorted the facts, inflamed an American audience, and painted an offensive, inaccurate picture of Italy's justice system. An eye-opener for any parent considering sending a child away to study, Angel Face reveals what really went on in this incomprehensible crime. I certainly was hoodwinked by several American news magazine stories (like 20/20 and Dateline) into believing that Knox was innocent. But after reading several blogs to the contrary, I believe she's quite guilty. Barry, are you aware of this case and, if so, can you give us Europe's reaction to it?

[FairfieldLife] Re: FW: Trivedi Lecture - Sondheim Theater - Wednesday Night 7:30 PM
It appears he has the ability to change the molecular structure of cancer cells, radioactive water, virus, bacteria, fungus etc.. He returns cells to their original structure before they were polluted. Oh come on. This is a simple restore function. You just go to system tools in your psyche/DNA section. Then go to system/physiology restore, and pick a date before you think the problems started and push the start button. Really anybody can do it. If for some reason that doesn't work, you may have to shut the system down. This could take as little as a couple decades, or as long as hundreds of years. Then the system gets rebooted, and process begins again. This ain't nothing new. He has had success with advanced cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and many other health challenges. Mr. Trivedi will be giving a public lecture on Wednesday, March 17th, at 7:30 PM in the Sondheim Theater, where he will give some of the results of scientific studies on his abilities. At the end of the evening he will give a group energy transmission for the health and well being of everyone in attendance. Tickets can be purchased online at www.TrivediFoundation.org or at the door. Mr. Trivedi has worked with top research scientists in the world and more than 4,000 scientific studies have been done to verify his gift to heal. The studies have measured his thought transmission ability and how it affects large numbers of samples from micro-organisms, metals, human cells, and more. Seeds that he has blessed produced healthier, stronger plants and had 400 times the vitamin C than the control group, without the bacteria and fungus that attacks plants. He also does blessings on people's relationships, homes and businesses and has had huge success with this as well. I was contacted to organize a group of doctors, scientists, and other key people to meet with him when he comes to Fairfield in March. Fred Travis has already been contacted. Mr. Trivedi will be giving a public lecture on Wednesday, March 17th. I will host him on March 18th for the more private sessions. It will not be publicly announced so I can also have some control who shows up at my house given the high profile position Ed and I are in. So this email is a personal invitation to you and if you have friends or family you want to have see him they must contact me. Hopefully you will be in town to meet Trivedi and perhaps have a private session with him. I am just giving an early heads up to you all so that you will have the opportunity to at least see him at the Civic Center. The fee for one of his sessions is $150. I truly believe these wonderful healers are divine blessings of light sent as protection against the dark energies of GMO'S, pesticides and the general pollution of our food, air and water and can also transform any inherent weaknesses we may have in our DNA. I also believe we are moving into developing our own subtle healing abilities and we can learn a lot from all these wonderful healers that are being drawn to our beautiful fair fields. To learn more about Trivedi, go to his website: trivedifoundation.org He has a very sweet face and I immediately felt good when I saw it. I will be in touch as the time gets closer to his visit, but, if you don't hear from me send me an email. Yours in perfect health, Vicki

[FairfieldLife] Re: Barry: what can you tell us of Europe's reaction to Amanda Knox?
I don't know who Amanda Knox is and don't care. Most Europeans I know wouldn't know or care, either. To be honest, if you had asked me this question a week ago, I would have said that I simply don't understand Americans' fascination with media-fueled crime stories. But now I've been stuck in my hotel room for extended periods of time waiting for conference calls with only my TV and remote control to amuse me, and I understand better. The programming on American TV is so bad that the crime stories on the news are often more entertain- ing. :-) The worst so far is Bad Girls Club, which seems to be what they call a reality show in which they pit seven or eight megabitches against each other for several days to see who can dirty-trick the others out of the running for Big Bitch. Horrific. I must admit to not having discovered anything I wasn't watching already that I feel like continuing to watch. I did watch a few more old episodes of Bones, and have come to like Zooey Deschanel's sister Emily. Not enough to keep watching the series, but she seems to be a better actress than Zooey. And they could easily both be TM meditators, so that may even reduces my anti-TM quotient. Since my friends here can't get together with me until 10:00 tonight, I'm looking forward to watching the resuming series Fastforward to see whether they'll be able to come up with anything interesting. But I haven't been able to make it through more than 2 or 3 minutes of *any* news show. Enough to realize that FOX is even more over-the-top than I thought it was, and that sadly most of the others aren't that far behind. So I'm really not the person to ask about some news story personality. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, ShempMcGurk shempmcg...@... wrote: The following is from amazon.com's product description of the book Angel Face: the true story of student killer Amanda Knox: Despite all the airtime devoted to Amanda Knox, it's still hard to reconcile the fresh-faced honor student from Seattle with the sexually rapacious killer convicted of the November 2007 murder of her British roommate.

[FairfieldLife] Obama's failed Mid East Policy
Even supporters of U.S. President Barack Obama would have to agree that his foreign policy over the past year, particularly in the Middle East, has been exceptionally clumsy, to say the least. It's not only Israelis who feel exasperated at the way the Obama administration has tried to engage and curry favor with despotic regimes, from Russia to Iran to China, at the expense of America's traditional allies in many parts of the world. The Obama approach has not only failed to deliver results, it has by and large emboldened tyrants and dictators to harden their opposition to America and the West...

You are right, he is an idiot on some issues as I have said many times, just like his pretense of being anti-abortion, he is an obvious flake, and a flip=flopper, and you have proven that. He makes John Kerry look like a solid stalwart King of the ImmovableStupa. ( I threw that in for Cardemeister to go to work and figure some stuff out, instead of sitting around doing squat.) You are finally waking up to the fact that Ron Paul is a chancer and a player. But the fact is, that Ron Paul is still the best YOU Republicans have for a leader. However, Obama is far more of a world leader, modern man, and an usher of the future, than any Republican will ever be. Thank god we have Obama and not Ron Paul. I REALLY hope that RP will be the next Republican candidate. He'll be awesome, but he will be too busy agreeing with Obama on everything, to be able to win.
