Willards horse is going for the gold!....

What about the 'golden rule'?....Oh, I know....He who has the gold makes the rules!

Don't let Willard do it, with all his hidden millionnaire/billionnaire donors!

Citizens, we need to unite!

Why is Romney unwilling to be forthright on anything?

A principled man would not have a problem doing that.

Willards horse is going for the gold!....

Chilled;

I'm not sure if you saw this?

Leave to Willard & the wife to engage in "horse ballet"?

As millions tune into the Olympics in prime time this summer, just before Mr. Romney will be reintroducing himself to the nation at the Republican convention, viewers are likely to see “up close and personal” segments on NBC about the Romneys and dressage, a sport of six-figure horses and $1,000 saddles. The Romneys declared a loss of $77,000 on their 2010 tax returns for the share in the care and feeding of Rafalca, which Mrs. Romney owns with Mr. Ebeling’s wife, Amy, and a family friend, Beth Meyers.

For those on the right who maybe mathematically challenged - Willard & his wife WROTE OFF almost TWICE the amount of the average American families yearly income!

Uh Huh... Willard sure can relate to the little guy... lol

I saw this comment over at The Obama Diary and I couldn't believe what I read:

Right after the election, Howard Fineman made the mistake of telling Tweety (Chris Matthews) that the media was going to destroy the President. I may be the only person who remembers him saying this, but it is probably the only fact that has come out of his mouth that didn't involve his "sources on the hill."

************

A lot of these journalists came out of the Watergate era. You would have thought that they would have thought twice and made sure they had some sort of integrity. They don't.

Look at what they have become. Look at all that has gone wrong in our country over the years, between Karl Rove, Iraq, the union/working class bashing, the fake Christian outcries. They said nothing. Silence while our country was being destroyed right before our eyes.

And Howard Fineman is the biggest hack of them all.

Fiesty, how many average families can afford to have their husband playing 100 rounds of golf over several years at the most exclusive country clubs? How many hob nob with the billionare Pritzker family when in Chicago and take earn several hundred thousand dollars selling 10 feet of their backyard to a political fixer? Give me a break on the faux outrage because Romney is wealthy and successful. Obama has about as much in common with the average American as Romney as they are both part of the political and educated elite in this country. To try and characterize Obama as in touch with everyday joe is just plain simple campaigning for him with no credibility.

By the way, when did we decide that wealth and success were not great characteristics of a presidential candidate? So why was Kerry running on the democratic ticket? Are we supposed to no longer believe Pelosi understands the average american so she is not qualified to be Speaker of the House?

It would be nice if MSNBC removed paid or unpaid campaigners from these sites because they lose any ability to provide credible discourse.

Feisty---Romney has now attempted to put talk of the horse off limits by saying horses were therapeutic for Ann when she was first diagnosed with MS. I guess he doesn't realize that there are a lot of people who would be diagnosed with MS and not have health coverage to get the medications necessary to manage this horrible disease. Or that people might not have the resources to engage in a such an expensive hobby to take their mind off their illness. Or maybe he just doesn't care.

The Romneys declared a loss of $77,000 on their 2010 tax returns for the share in the care and feeding of Rafalca,

Yup, that horse is pure gold, on so many levels......

....And Willard doesn't concern himself with the care and feeding of the middle class and working poor!

Pat Boston MA.

Just a heads up Pat, if you read it at the Obama Diary, you probably shouldn't believe it.

I don't know of anyone who has MS other then Annie, who had the ability to write off $77K in losses!

Is Willard implying a plain old quarter horse wasn't capable of doing the job?

The problem with Willard is he is incapable of telling the truth about anything. It's amazing the number of lies he tells.

Pat in Boston

I fired my local Sinclair Broadcasting CBS station in 2004 for pre-empting regular programming to run the Swiftboat Veterans against Kerry movie, two weeks before the election. We protested outside the station, to no avail, and I haven't watched my local news on that station since.

I fired ABC News after the 2008 debates where Charlie Gifford and George Stephanopoulos spent 20 minutes asking Barack Obama if he loved his country. I refuse to watch This Week because George Stephanopoulos is the host.

Meet The Press and Chuck Todd are skating on thin ice with me these days. I don't have cable, so I am stuck with NBC News. I'm thinking of paying to subscribe to the New York Times, and just go all-Internet for my news, because the broadcast TV entertainers journalists, drive me crazy; they often seem biased and uninformed. I've gotten good information from NPR, but I grew up watching TV, so it's a hard habit to break. Radio journalism is definitely better than TV, though.

Amy--you have a lot in common with Mitt Romney--you like to fire people!!

It is sad to see how biased the news reporting has become.

Go Figure, Amy likes firing people who's work does not meet her expectations.

What a concept.

White Collar Auto

OK, that made me laugh :)

If you knew how powerless I feel, you wouldn't think it was so funny.

Dear Amy: It just got worse.

This piece was supposed to run on the front page of the Washington Post. They turned it down on the grounds that it was too supportive of Obamacare.

Andrew Sullivan/Daily Beast, per The Obama Diary -

What The WaPo Wouldn’t Run

That scene is a free, makeshift dental clinic for the uninsured. It was mobbed – as it would be in a developing country. Except it’s right here in Tennessee, where many of the working poor are uninsured, and where the state is perfectly happy to keep it that way. For these strapped, working class folk, Obama’s demonized healthcare reform is a godsend. Pity almost none of them in this part of deepest red America have heard of what it could do for them:

It was hard to find visitors to the clinic who would not benefit directly from the law. Barbara Hickey, 54, is a diabetic who lost her insurance five years ago when her husband was injured at his job making fiberglass pipes. She gets discounted diabetic medication from a charity, but came to the clinic to ask a doctor about blood in her urine.

Under the law, she would qualify for Medicaid. Her eyebrows shot up as the law was described to her. “If they put that law into effect, a lot of people won’t need disability,” she said. “A lot of people go onto disability because they can’t afford health insurance.”

Tom Boughan, 58, came to the clinic for glasses and dental work, with a sci-fi novel to pass the time. He’s been without coverage since being laid off from his industrial painting job last year, which means he’s paying $400 every few months for blood work for a thyroid problem.

Pat,

With stories like this, I have to wonder when America became a third world country!

Unbelievable!

I'd be willing to bet these people will vote red in nov. I will never understand why folks will vote aginst their own best interest, or how Rush,Glen and Michael have so much influence over them.

Feisty, you really have to question today's media. Corporate Media has killed journalism. And this is bad for the United States. In all aspects.

Iraq should have woken the country up but obviously it didn't. These punk so-called journalists don't care about anything. So many people out there looking for help. Little do they know the media has turned a blind eye to them.

All they have to do is check out Jay's press conferences. The international media is fine, it's our media that is laughable.

Corporate Media has killed journalism.

I know Pat - today we get the best journalism the capitalist cronies can buy!

I'm already planning a strategy to combat this when I start knocking on doors...

I'm at work and can't listen to the videotape. What did he say?

Gtouch- try the Daily Caller, or the Huffington Post, maybe. Or, try any other newsvine site.
