Sounds like a Romney slam to me. He woke up this morning and Iowa slammed him to the ground. Couldn't have happened to a better person.

A Romney/Santorum ticket wouldn't be a bad combination to get our country back on track. We've wasted enough time listening to Obama blame somebody else for his short falls in leadership. I listen to Obama ramble on about the evil 1% then I look at the pay check that I get from the guy who is in the 1% and wonder why Obama thinks if he pays more taxes that will some how benefit me. Please someone name me one bankrupt liberal cause that didnt have to be paid for by a conservative. I have a feeling there are more people tired of hearing Obama.....

How magnanimous of you, Mitt.

I hope you remember to show President Obama the same graciousness on the first Wednesday in November.

I really thought it was dumb for the networks to continually refer to Landslide Mitts and the "winner of the first two primaries.

First of all, the Iowa vote didn't count because delegates are uncommitted.

Second, by any measure it was a statistical tie and still is. A couple of dozen votes either way is meaningless except to the sound bite starved broadcast media (both Foxy and CNN etc.)

UAW Pleeeease

Can you please cite a example of Obama where he rumbles on about 'the evil 1%'

Source please?

Yes mr Uaaawwwww Plleeessse

Yes another liberal here, actually Progressive. We like to talk and cite facts like the fact that President Obama helped Avert a depression, saved our Auto and Banking industry, ended the war in Iraq, got Osama Bin Laden and many other top Al Queda leaders, and is bringing us slowly out of the recession. The programs that Progressives have put out there that benifit you would be Social Security for starters, we have also protected our enviroment, your jobs, and many other things that a society and a country does. We invest in ourselves, something you and the other Flat Earth Society members can't seem to understand. Why do you think that China sends 157,000 college kids to school in the United States each year, why does China turn out 650,000 Engineers each year and India turns out 350,000 engineers, its because they know the value of paying foward to help our society as a whole. We buy the way turn out 75,000 engineers, do you know how this is going to turn out? As far as the 1%, well just look at Mitts income and the 15% he paid in taxes and who knows what you will see when he releases the whole thing. Also what did he do to grow jobs, I think the Progressives are doing more buddy. Does it bother you that 1% of our population owns more that 39% of all assets up from 37% and they control 24% of all income and they belly ache about paying a few more dollars to taxes and paying it foward. Also when 20 % of the population is classified as in poverty with the average family of 4 earning about $22k per year and its not because they dont work hard its just that the 1%er's dont want to pay them more. Have you checked out all the new jobs being created by GE and other companies in the US and paying from $12 to $19 per hour, wow one can really send their kids to college on that. So yeah I have no problem with the 1% paying more, they take more out of the total economic pie and that's a limited amoount which leaves the 99% of us scrambling after what is left. If you make more you should pay more. By the way in our recent past when the rich paid much more in taxes, they still invested in factories, plants, and other endevors. The only difference they are investing in China now and keeping their 2 TRILLION in the banks overseas, they are really job providers...Yep

I think that you need to recheck your statistics if the average family of 4 is only earning 22K which would put the average family and the middle class smack into the middle of the poverty level...Perhaps you just worded your sentence the wrong way and gave an erroneous impression, but recent employment statistics showed the average American family of 4 was actually more than double that figure for average yearly earnings....You also have to remember that it is an average figure, and certain regions of the country are significantly higher or lower depending upon population density and cost of living issues. Salaries are keyed to the costs in the area in which the business operates which is why a teacher in one state might only make about 32K while one from New York City or LA might be making 52K. The whole problem with this discussion is that you are using averages to upset people. I firmly believe that we need to eliminate the notion of anybody paying more taxes-rich or poor. Rather we need to put government on an extremely strict financial diet. Government has to learn that it isn't an ever growing, unending pot of revenue....One of the hugest problems we have right now has nothing to do with the rich not paying their fair share, but rather has to do with the high number of unemployed who will be paying no income tax at all because they haven't earned anything...yet they, by necessity have to collect benefits, many of which are funded by tax dollars. Factor in the number of abandoned and foreclosed properties which are also not generating the usual tax revenues, or those folk behind on property taxes who haven't actually lost the property. Well how much does that come out to?

Gee, apparently the exit polls I, a resident of Iowa, heard reported were wrong then. Odd I did not hear anything close to the numbers you claim for Ron Paul. The exit poll reports I heard reflected Santorum as the winner state wide, Romney here locally. Sorry, Egilman, but Paul did NOT win Iowa or even place second. He has a strong, loyal following but the percentage number of followers remain roughly the same as they were in 2008.

he got to "Claim" he was the winner.

And today he flip-flops on that position too.

Guess Iowa is not surprising considering the flip flop history of willard....

Jody,

I know you live in Iowa and will defend the sanctiity of the Iowa Caucus. I assume that you primarily vote Democratic, so I understand that also, but truth is truth.

www.prisonplanet.com/republican-insider-gop-establishment-planning-to-subvert-iowa-to-prevent-ron-paul-win.html

The funny thing is she did this interview the day before the Caucus and the vote came out just like she predicted.

I still find it fascinating how the liberals can't see beyond 10 minutes into the future. The Newt wife story won't mean a hill of beans. It will not resonate and I'll bet the only ones that watch it will be liberals who won't vote for him anyway. We all know that his ex-wife will do everything to hurt him, pretty much the same way any divorcee would. She's probably making a pretty penny from the interview. In two weeks it will be over and it will be old news once again.

still find it fascinating how the liberals can't see beyond 10 minutes into the future

Oh, you mean like the teapublican House when they cut the debt ceiling deal last August that is going to result in that nasty reduced defense spending they all hate to see...

Or McConnell's statement about their only job is to see that Obama is a "one-term President" - not governing our country and enacting relevant legislation that is coming back to haunt the GOP...

Or the GOP/TEA decision for temporary instead of long term spending/debt ceiling deals so they now have to address it before the 2012 election and find themselves in a trick bag...

or Do you need more true examples of your reflection brian?

Truth is YOU are attempting to assign TEA-GOP party failures to President Obama and the Democrats.

Sorry... not going to work this time. Voters WILL receive the truth in 2012 instead of unilateral spin, lies, talking points, MIS-INFORMATION and sales pitches the wingnuts used in 2000, 2004, and 2010.

Sorry..... NOT!

Oh, you mean like the teapublican House when they cut the debt ceiling deal last August that is going to result in that nasty reduced defense spending they all hate to see...

All to see? You mean like defense spending cuts aren't part of reducing the debt of this nation? I don't know what world you live in stupid, but there's plenty of waste in the defense department that needs to be cut. Maybe YOU don't see it for what it is.

Or McConnell's statement about their only job is to see that Obama is a "one-term President" - not governing our country and enacting relevant legislation that is coming back to haunt the GOP...

Seems to me that since an unvetted president was elected as president, the republicans have good cause. Tell me how much vetting occurred during Obama's run up to president. Do YOU know who this man is? Do YOU know what he stands for? It's pretty obvious to me considering what he's done to help destroy this country one little bite at a time. Maybe you want to see this country's Constitution shredded like is slowly happening with Obama's executive orders.

Or the GOP/TEA decision for temporary instead of long term spending/debt ceiling deals so they now have to address it before the 2012 election and find themselves in a trick bag...

Or, they could just not raise the debt ceiling like YOUR president wants to happen. Force the government to do the right thing... live within their means. Might backfire on the wrong person if it's played correctly. It's the president asking for the debt ceiling to be raised. The house can reject it and then the Senate can override it... you know, the Senate that has a democrat majority. Conservatives and many independents want to see the budget reduced and not increased.

or Do you need more true examples of your reflection brian?

So far you haven't provided one example that has any weight. Is this the best you can do?

Truth is YOU are attempting to assign TEA-GOP party failures to President Obama and the Democrats.

Truth is, you are trying to blame the TEA-GOP party for all the failures of Obama and the democrats. It works both ways stupid.

Sorry... not going to work this time. Voters WILL receive the truth in 2012 instead of unilateral spin, lies, talking points, MIS-INFORMATION and sales pitches the wingnuts used in 2000, 2004, and 2010.

It seems you have the wrong opinion of what people actually believe. The liberals stand pretty much alone in their trashing of everything anti-liberal. You don't speak for independents or conservatives. Your old talking points carry no weight except to liberals.

Sorry..... NOT!

Spoken like a true liberal...

It seems you have the wrong opinion of what people actually believe

Well it is clear one of us does....

Guess November election will tell the tale.

Hey blind brianb:

Just to refresh your memory and prove my point, the following is from this vine back in Nov.:

Republicans to reconfigure US budget cuts

Reuters
By Vicki Allen

U.S. Republicans will try to spare defense programs by reconfiguring the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts that are to be triggered starting in 2013 by the collapse of a congressional deficit-cutting committee, a leading Republican senator said Sunday.

Now, in true Romney flip-flop fashion YOU say, in response to my statement:

Oh, you mean like the teapublican House when they cut the debt ceiling deal last August that is going to result in that nasty reduced defense spending they all hate to see...

All to see? You mean like defense spending cuts aren't part of reducing the debt of this nation? I don't know what world you live in stupid, but there's plenty of waste in the defense department that needs to be cut. Maybe YOU don't see it for what it is.

And you went through the whole tirade in #3.6 above as a defense to the reflection I pointed out?

(shaking my head sadly) I guess you are what the ignore button is for....

Really too bad that TRUTH and facts upset you so when they do NOT jive with the RNC talking points and half-truths....

Hey BrainB get off the crack pipe!

Ron Paul?

LOL

Shirt for brains

The Cayman Island story is beginning to catch fire........look for Mittens in front of a teleprompter very soon.

[Just wait the Cayman Islands story of the secret bank accounts just broke !]

After this story airs, Mittens is gonna be done.

Then, after the ABC interview airs, Noot will be a wounded duck.

The Klown Kar empties...

What if there is no one left running?

SF - lol......They'll then recycle Sarah. But as for Mit, he's toasted.

For as much as the liberals wanted Romney to win, so Obama could defeat him.... I think Mitt is tumbling down the rabbit hole. He's going to hit rock bottom before it's all over.

It's funny though... for all this hubbub about the republican candidates, nobody ever brought up Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dorn... two known terrorists... The double standard is alive and well in America.

And an article on OpenChannel about Malibu Mitt being on the Board of directers @ Marriot, when Kickback's were Paid.

Dauuuuuuuuuuuum, this is gettin to be Fun, Fun, Fun!

Oh No Pen24, tell me you did'nt go there"Teleprompter"!

Occupy SoggyBottom!

Steeler Fan

Michelle and Herman are still on the ballot. It's not like not having any choices. Give Michelle a big win and she will gladly come out of retirement.

Then there is always Donald. The GOP has got a deep bench.

They are both still in the race so they can get matching funds from the taxpayers ..so they can retire their campaign debts ...one last knife in the back of the tax payer..for their not winning

The bright side is that a vote for Cain is a vote for Colbert...

There is nothing illegal about having a bank account in the Caymans. Nothing at all.

I have had one for years. Barclays Affiliate First Carribean

I also own a condo there, that is legal too.

The latest diatribe from the Jersey PoleDancer maybe.

The Spankster's answer in Question form.

Anything from BrianB, JoAnna Smiff .

Occupy SoggyBottom!

Yes Devie, Romney got Santorumed.

You said it, Devie and Tom.

With the Cayman Islands story breaking for Mitt, one of Newt's x-wives spilling more beans, Santorum's rigid faith and general creepy weirdness, you can't help wondering what happens if GOP voters stay home. I heard chatter again this morning that people were asking Christie to run, telling him that it's not too late!

And both are right from their perspectives ... perhaps we can included the saying of a Greek tailor- "Euripides, Eumenides."

I thought it was "You fix-a-these"!...and you know you are probably the only one who will bother to watch what I thought was a pretty clear, fair and balanced presentation of a complicated issue...

I don't recall why Judy left CNN but she is certainly making the most of it over at PBS.

"The Story of English" was a favorite documentary from way back.

CNN "dumped" her because they felt she was too old...and their ratings have just skyrocketed, haven't they?

Now no one is going to click on your link.

What you mean "now"? Kimosabe...;-)

James Smart observes that the New York Public Library defines "Kemo Sabe" as Soggy Shrub. His entertaining collection is appropriately titled "Soggy Shrub Rides Again and other improbabilities."

If you know the book, you probably know the "joke" I was paraphrasing...Thanks for making this place more interesting...

Guess you dont like vulture capitalism..guess that makes us communists in the eyes of the righties!!

well brian at least you admit your brain is sleeping...

good point...

Wake up !

Vote GOP for cutting govt. Waste , Fraud and Abuse.

democrats want to spend that and much more!
