"Sophia Loren Documentary and Interview. Interview with Barbara Walters, 1990."

From Gata Bella

Just look at Sophia Loren at this point in 1990. She is around fifty-six at this point and Barbara Walters looking very cute as always too, but Sophia Loren still a goddess at this point and looking great.

And if you look at how Sophia started out in Italy born in 1934 under the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and how poor she and her family were in Italy and during a war-time and not worrying about how they were going to eat everyday and would they not have a place to live and everything else that comes from the hell of extreme poverty and then what she made of herself, it is an incredible life. That seems to of only of come out of Hollywood.

Sophia goes from extreme poverty war-torn Italy under a horrible dictatorship, to Italian and Hollywood goddess within less than twenty-years. Who else could’ve accomplished this and accomplish everything that she has to being one of if not the top Hollywood goddess of all-time and one of the best actress’s, singers, perhaps even comedians who has ever lived. And all of this coming after the hellish start that she had in life, where she has a father that she almost didn’t know at all and who out her mother through hell as well.

Commentary: Seth Mandel- 'Is Paul Ryan the Leader of the Conservative Movement?'

"When the Republican Party took back control of the House in 1994, a confluence of events combined to make it even more of a watershed moment than it would otherwise have been. The fact that the GOP had been out of power in Congress for four decades gave it an “underdog” storyline. Newt Gingrich, who [...]/p"

Assuming Mitt Romney loses tomorrow night and it hasn't happen yet, the Republican Party is going to have figure out where do they go from there, facing four more years of a Democratic President and at least two more years of a Democratic Senate.

Even if House Republicans hold the majority and a Democratic President who was reelected and if the economy takes off, which looks like it might in 2013 and the President avoids any serious scandals that can hurt his Presidency and popularity, perhaps popular reelected President who doesn't have to worry about reelection and will have the freedom to be more bold in the next two years, which is something Democrats were hoping for in the beginning.

So a reelected President Obama would have the authority to push an agenda that Republicans will of course disagree with that could have at least some popular elements in it and Republicans will have to figure out how to counter. President Obama under these circumstances.

Me as a Democrat and as an American would like to see the Republican Party get back to where they use to be. A fiscally and economically conservative party, as well as a socially moderate-tolerant Party, classical conservative even. Bring in the Ron Paul and Gary Johnson voters and be a real conservative party across the board which they aren't right now.

The modern Republican Party is an economically conservative party, thats more theocratic if not statist party on social policy. Something they tend to accuse Democrats of being on social issue. And aren't even very fiscally conservative, considering they believe that 1/6 of the. Federal budget, thats in one department, which is defense,  should be off the table in deficit reduction. And maybe Paul Ryan is that guy but I have my doubts.
