What do you libbys think about the latest gallup poll?
Don't you think it is sad that rather than running on his record, Obama Kardashian needs to run away from his record? Has any incumbent ever done that before??
The amateur in chief is truly a trail blazer on that front. Same as how much debt he has piled on, and how much he enriched his donors with stimulus money that was given to them.
How about that transparency promise? LOL
Anyone know why he has a Connecticut SSN?
RedSoxRule
RedSuks; you are nuts.
How about that transparency promise? LOL
Our President has released his tax returns. Willard R-money is afraid to due to its linkage to the SEC.
Anyone know why he has a Connecticut SSN
Because the Birther Queen , Orly Tatiz, had a wet dream of one.
First of all, please tell me you're not stupid enough to think that anyone out here in the real world would be able to obtain the President's Social Security Number, okay?
Secondly, this was debunked over a year ago...
www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/ssn.asp
Try and keep up with us, okay?
PS - "Obama Kardashian"? LAME!!!
SSN: The Area Number does not necessarily represent the State of residence of the applicant regardless of whether the card was issued prior to, or after, 1973.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_number_(United_States)
Bev, you crack me up! I hope the insane thing is just an act though. LMAO
You think Obama Kardashian will release his college records?
BREAKING NEWS*******from Martin Bashir!
Willard will give interviews, to news outlets, (CNN, Fox, networks) later today to explain (lie) about Bain and his taxes!
Must be awfully hot in Willard World

Get the popcorn ready!!!!
RSR,
What do you think of the latest Reuters or Quinnipiac polls?
Must be pretty lonely in Romney-ville when no one loves you.
Sucks that only Rasmussen will show him as 'winning'. Seems his margin of 'losing' just seems to keep getting bigger the longer he's in the race.
"LOL"
Noid, you may want to brush up on the latest news. Have Dennis check for the recent lawsuit filed in Ohio regarding the amateur in chief's SSN.
LOL
Bev, can you get popcorn on food stamps? You can thank me for paying if you can since I am one of the 51% that actually pay taxes.
Tek, the latest poll is from Gallup. Pretty cool huh?
Bev.......Talk about made for Friday Night Lights (Laughs)...lol
I can't wait to hear Willard 'dance' around the questions.....hopefully he won't be allowed to do so!
*popcorn*....and a Long-Neck!
RedSuks,
You think Obama Kardashian will release his college records?
I am happy to humor you; but your Obama Derangement Syndrome is not funny. You are a sick puppy.
The President graduated cum laude.
He is an American citizen.
His college records are none of nosy, whacked out birthers business.
Rasmussen Tracking: 7/10-7/12 = Obama 46 - Romney 45
Well, so much for that!
Aside from Romney's pathetic performance at the NAACP -- Using offensive terms like "Obamacare" (good thing he didn't slip and say "Obamneycare") and bringing in his own black caucus (so to speak) as plants to applaud during his speech, and so Romney could have a fake meeting with "leaders of the black community"... We've seen what a dismal flop it has been for Romney to deride the 95-98% as just wanting "free stuff" you know all that "stuff" they pay into like Social Security and Medicare.
After GOP/Bush-era policies of unnecessary war and mismanagement across the board, and after Wall Street and the Banksters got their "free stuff" the Teapublicans come to the American people with their hands out asking them to sacrifice their Social Security, their Medicare/ACA to pay for their despicable mistakes.
More tax cuts for the rich! The Teapublicans--they are the ones who know all about "free stuff" now aren't they?
What do you libbys think about the latest gallup poll?
Red Sux - What about it?
C'mon Bev, don't you want to see if he was able to beat Gore's last in the class record? LMAO
I never said he wasn't a citizen, I am just curious why he has a CT SSN. Aren't you? Maybe he was my neighbor.
Noid, you understand what 'margin of error' means? Looks like a tie to me.
Maybe he was my neighbor.
Red Sux - As far as I know, O never lived in a trailer park....
Get ready for the Mitt-Storm!
Glad you all have the *popcorn* ready! ;o)
chilled
*popcorn*....and a Long-Neck!
Nothing like popcorn, a cold one, good friends, and laughing at the insane right wing Klown Posse.
Oh, goody...another law suit! Yeah, nobody's done that before, have they?
If at first you don't succeed, try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...and try...
(You get the idea.)
RedSoxRule - so what is his SS number? You seem to know everything - tell us! Oh, that's right - you're taking your stupid talking points from the GOP and you have no idea what they mean but you'll keep spouting them. You do know how utterly STUPID that makes you look don't you?
I understand your SS number is from Montana. How'd you do that? Investigation, please!
Obama/Biden 2012
RedSoxRule
I am just curious why he has a CT SSN. Aren't you?
No, RedSuks, I'm not a whacked birther.
RSR,
Nice pick and choose. What's the margin of error on the Gallup Tie?
Or the margin of error on the Quinnipiac/Reuters/Pew polls? Is it within the margin of error?
Only if a margin of error is 6+ pts.
"LOL"

Breaking news:
Mitt is 'none and done'
This has been a breaking news update by PNN (Pigotry News Network - a Nun-partisan news service; and our motto: We all love nuns!)
Be nice to RedSux. Don't get personal.
We agree to disagree agreeably.
I think Romney doesn't want to release his tax returns because they will show that he WAS still in charge of Bain after he said he had left and he won't be able to weasel out of that lie.
Also, Red Sox, have we seen Romney's college records? Have we even asked for them? Did we ask for Bush's?
Chilled...don't campaigns usually address things on Friday they don't want to to get much attention? I'm thinking this Friday info drop of Romney's is something quite painful.
Bain employee said he reported to Mitt Romney while he was in Salt Lake City
Mitt will address the issue on the NBC, CBS and ABC evening news.
The issue is too complex to answer in a 6-8 minute segment … all he plans to do is say, afterwards, that he has addressed the issue so let's move on without ever providing the full details. Now that he has opened the door to the entire country on the network news more questions than ever will be asked … will Mitt answer them ?
Steeler Fan, we are so glad you are back! Sounds like an exciting vacation, I look forward to that drink! Well, Well, WELL! What a week it has been! For the doldrums of summer, this has been something to watch!
I am sure that our good friend IR is over at the Dew Drop Inn getting ready for the end of the week celebration. Which is a good time to ask:
What oh what have we learned? Plenty! We keep hearing from the folks on the fringe right that they and they alone are fiscally responsible! To prove that, what did they do this week? Wasted 50 million dollars in a show vote to repeal the ACA, just so they can try to make political hay out of during the elections! They want to be able to go back to their districts and intone solemnly "I voted to repeal the ACA, I am serious that people who need insurance should not be able to get it, even though I have the Gold Standard of health insurance paid by you suckers who keep sending me to office! You can't have it, and even though I am glad that my new college graduate can stay on my plan, that you pay for, I voted so that you may not access the same, even though you would pay for that too! In fact, I am such a stand up guy (or gal) that I want to make sure that sick babies can be denied health insurance because they have a preexisting condition. Same for your wife with breast cancer, or your dad with lung cancer. Why as long as MY family is covered, we just don't care about Joe and Joan America. And thank you for the 50 million dollars that you allowed us to waste this week, because you buy our garbage about being the party who cares about money. We don't. We care about US!"
What else did we learn? Oh, Mitty, you scalawag you! There is just no end to the lies you will tell to make yourself look like the Big Man on Campus, is there? Mitty, you got some explaining to do! That story in the Boston Globe is pretty damaging. Looks like you wanted to give the appearance that you were not with Bain when they were sending those jobs overseas, but doggone it, you got found out! It was amusing hearing that you tried to bully the Boston Globe, and apparently they weren't impressed with your bluster.
Here's the problem in a nutshell Mitty. If you were President and CEO of Bain during those years, like Truman used to say the buck stops with you. If you don't believe that, you have no business running for the highest office in the land.
Which is it Mitt? You were the hotshot CEO that you are basing your campaign on...or are you trying to pull a fast one on the American people and the SEC?
Can't wait to find out more!
My thanks to my hosts! You guys have been busy this week, so hope you have a good weekend! Feisty, Steeler is buying, so let's get this party rocking!
Have a good weekend all! And especially you, phine!
Get ready for the Mitt-Storm!
Feisty - What happened!!!
Feisty - TeeHee! But, he'll just post as Kirk. Oh well! It is kinda funny!
Drinks soooooon!
Willard is storming the networks like a tsunami!
Problem is - like Dennis mentioned above we will get NO answers...
Still should be funnier then hell to watch him squirm! ☺
You sure got that right!
Beverly, once again we see that Mitt Romney will only talk to news outlets where he feels no one will challenge his lies.
Hey, RedSox, when will Mitt Romney release his college transcripts or better yet 11 years of his tax returns? After all, what is "sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."
Redsoxwhatever, you do not pay any taxes.
You may bemuse those on your side but you do not befuddle those on the other side. I can only attribute all of your postings today to mental masturbation considering the the obvious location of your brain, and I do not believe that is a taxable occupation, although it must be taxing on the walls of your tent.
Waves to Feisty, Bev and the rest of the gang!
The Mittatstrophy doesn't end,...it's just getting ready for PRIME time, baby.
Feisty, pop me up a batch of your finest, extra SALTY, GF!
(Bev, from earlier - Can't wait to get back to Chi Town and party with my girls!)
Bev,
So why do YOU care about Romney's tax returns? I mean you aren't going to vote for him, so why the obsession? You can be sure that the IRS would be all over Romney if he had anything out of the ordinary. So why the obsession? To turn the tables, why hasn't Obama released HIS college transcripts? WHY are they sealed? You see, two can play this silly game...
Thanks for the info on Bain, Dennis, like I said, campaigns address things on Friday they'd rather not get much attention. The Sunday political shows should be interesting, however (for us masochists who watch politicians and pundits babble on Sunday.)
Jody, fine by me. So when do we see Obama Kardashian's trancripts?
Buckwheat, I wish you were right about taxes. My postings are for amusement. You libbys amuse me.
Dance libbys dance!
LMFAO
Feisty,
The real question is … which Network will have the courage to ask the truly tough questions ?
Uncovered today – The Romney campaign has claimed that the former Massachusetts governor cut all ties with Bain Capital when he left to run the 2002 Winter Olympics in February of 1999, but a press release from July of 1999 seems to contradict this account. “Bain Capital CEO W. Mitt Romney currently on a part-time leave of absence to head the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee for the 2002 Games.”
Drip, drip, drip
Oh, yes Amy......Willard hopes the Friday drop will fade over the weekend...NOT!..
Depending on the depth of the questions, it might be quite painful, unless he got more talking points from Dick last evening!
Dennis,
This really is the
$64K$57K per day question...My bet is on NONE of them!
Dennis, you are truly disturbed. The whole Bain thing was determined to be a lie from Obama Kardashian a long time ago. You need to move on. No one cares.
Stay tuned.
RedSoxRule - if it's just a distraction then why is it gaining traction in all of the media - including the right wing press? Really good distraction dontcha think?
Obama/Biden 2012
Well, retract my comment on news outlets; Mitt decided to give CBS, NBC and ABC a try but as DENNIS said, he cannot possibly answer the questions in the brief segments he will be given. Romney will give the standard "I did nothing illegal" answer and spin off to tell everyone that he knows how to run a business--never mind that Government is not nor should it ever be run like a business.
NDD, terrific end of the week; especially enjoyed your description of the GOPers explaination to voters about why they wasted $50 million to repeal ACA. I figured they'd just say "I've got mine, screw you."
Thanks to our First Read hosts for another fine week of politics. Now it's time to head to the DDI and watch Romney spin on the MSM. A toast to Willard's experience at Bain, it is indeed the "bane" of the GOPers.
P.S. RedSox, I really do not give a hoot about Romney or Obama's college transcripts. I find the right's obsession with petty nonsense, however, to be amusing. Small minds, as they say, think about small, irrelevant things. Et tu?
Feisty - I see Knee Jerk Conservative got totally BANNED!!!!
Red Sox,
Mitt-Bain Questions
I don't see how he can straighten out the conflicting information. If he took a LOA that explains the SEC filings but makes the Obama campaign correct about the outsourcing – not a lie. However his statement that he retired in 1999 does not fit with the SEC filings or testimony to the Mass Board of Elections that he should be considered a resident (so he could run for Governor) because he made many trips back to Mass for Board meetings or as to why he didn't negotiate a severance package with Bain until 2002.
I can explain away the Board meetings and severance package but not the SEC filings. He was on the Board of a company (not Bain) but Board members are not involved in daily operations. He didn't worry about his severance until after the Olympics because he was too busy. But this is why we would love to see his tax records because they would show what his pay and bonuses were from Bain during that period where the SEC records only show that his pay was in their top bracket of greater than $100,000.
While his campaign continues, as expected, to say that this is just a distraction other top Republicans are more concerned.

Not really Insanity and Dennis. The only press it is getting is all the press saying how false it is. Not a good strategy to continue to lie after you have been caught.
Even guys on state run CNN were saying it was a lie.
So much for all the hope and change. Now we can just hope we have some change left in our pockets thanks to Obama Kardashian.
And other than the botched photo-op over NYC where the administration mindlessly scared half the city to the point of wetting themselves .... what has Obama ever taken responsibility for in 3 1/2 years.
Thanks for the best laugh of the week newday.
RedSoxRule - not true. Try doing some REAL searches. Romney is looking really bad - okay, that's not unusual. But, even his little right wing peeps are ducking this one!
Oh and since the Kardashians are all look and no substance it would actually be Romney Kardashian - aka empty suit!
bob - nice try but, as usual, totally lacking in substance!
Obama/Biden 2012
Jody, Iowa
Beverly, once again we see that Mitt Romney will only talk to news outlets where he feels no one will challenge his lies.
Only because CNN is a baby FOX NOISE. Can you believe the idiots at Fox are digging up old history like Tony Rezko.
At least President Obama gave an interview to clear the air. I doubt if 2 faced Mitt will.

Obama/Biden 2012
RSR, I think Baris Hilton would be more appropraite based on all of the Obama purse poodles posting above.
Insanity, you are nuts. LMFAO
No one cares. It is getting ZERO traction since it was shown to be false. You guys need to try and find something positive to say about Obama Kardashian's 3.5 years rather than stick to lies.
Obama Kardashian is appropriate since he doesn't care about being president and just wants to be a celebrity. Maybe more cocktails with Clooney are in order for the weekend.
LOL
Dennis -- Or the right questions! Sometimes you wonder if they do their homework.
Dennis, in my view, the sheer volume of Romney's lies will make it almost impossible for him to explain any of the Bain issues. He has for more than a decade switched his stories about Bain to suit whatever the need and now, it has finally caught up to him. No matter which version he tells tonight, it will prove one lie or a deception of the SEC and Bain shareholders. It really is a Catch 22 for him but it should come as no surprise to anyone of us who has consistently pointed out the flip flops, the nuance, the latest version of his many tales.
Bev, it comes as no surprise; it shows a sense of desperation on the right.
RedSox - clearly you avoid the truth - no matter what! It is not only gaining traction, there will be a lot more on it over the weekend and next week. This is the Romney's Bain lie that will not die!
At least President Obama chooses people with class to drink with - unlike Romney with Trump and Cheney. Just more proof that all the money in the world can't buy class!
Obama/Biden 2012
Ok Insanity. You just keep listening to all the voices in your head telling you that. LOL
RedSoxRule - you hear voices? That's a little scary but as I always say, there is no sanity to be found in the GOP and here you've gone and proved it again!
Obama/Biden 2012
Here's a suggestion for the closing of the interviews.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiqYdLxSh4g
Money Grabber by Fitz and the Tantrums
Dont_carry_it_all -- Apparently Romney's campaign has no clue about the truth of Romney's "business experience." If they're smart they will quietly start resigning. It's like a lawyer trying to defend a criminal that is guilty and won't come clean. Speaking of which, forget about Danny Diaz, a GOP operative, Romney needs a good lawyer.
This is a Big F****g Deal. Clinton was not impeached base on his immoral or unethical activities, rather for LYING in an attempt at cover-up. Aside from the fact that stories are breaking daily about Bain/Romney activities before 1999, for example this information uncovered by David Corn:
Romney is going to go down for telling great big LIES. Romney is a fraud!
Beverly in Chicago
why bother? You are talking to someone who claims Romney was and still is loved in Massachusetts. Some of my Republican-leaning family members and friends (got couple of those) don't want to touch Romney with a 10 foot poll. Residents of Massachusetts love Romney as much as they love the Yankees.
Amy B. Portland, ME
Thanks for the info on Bain, Dennis, like I said, campaigns address things on Friday they'd rather not get much attention. The Sunday political shows should be interesting, however (for us masochists who watch politicians and pundits babble on Sunday.)
Amy,
Willard thinks by putting Condi Rice on the top of his short list that will change the subject from BAIN & SEC. It won't inquiring minds want to know what is R-money hiding. This is serious business.
@Clara I can't wait either to see and the kids again. We'll have even more fun next time.
@ newday Here's the problem in a nutshell Mitty. If you were President and CEO of Bain during those years, like Truman used to say the buck stops with you.
I'll drink to that. R-money has stopped millions of bucks from Americans; their jobs, their pensions, there Health Care.
Mitt is about to have his bad karma come right back at him and stop him in his paper trail.
Your drink at the Dew Drop Inn is on me as soon as I get there we' ll hoist one to Mitt's demise.
Obama/Biden 2012
Every day RedSuxRule lies big time. Even more so than Willard.
Here is a big one of his from yesterday to go along with the lies from this string along. It's make you wonder about ole RedSuxRule.
However, the truth is:

Opps, my bad!!! I should know better.
Sameosameo ... ok
Gosh Dennis ... still want to talk about it?
Romney was making a return for his investors, union pensions, etc, and Obama was community organizing, traveling abroad, writing 2 books about himself, running for office ... not much chance to invest in anything, huh?
How about Obama as President?
What has he done with tax payer dollars other than to invest hundreds of millions in Fisker and Tesla - cars that are made overseas by foreign workers .... battery companies that are now moving to Russia ... btw - is that not outsourcing?
Other than giving billions of tax payer dollars to Petrobas / Soros to drill off Brazil while shutting down drilling in the US ..... btw - how is shutting down US companies in the Gulf while sending billions to Brazil and then telling them "we want to be your best customer" - not outsourcing?
Why does Obama want to be Brazilian oil companies best customer instead of being American oil companies best customer?
Other than that little stuff ... what has Obama done well besides having a job czar that ships jobs overseas for medical diagnostic equipment, wind turbines, jet engines .... oh yea then there is GM...GM Volts made in China, other models being made in Canada, Mexico etc ..
From the Washington Post ....
Obama is borrowing money from China to buy Russian helicopters to give to the Afghans? Just so wrong on so many levels.
We have to buy Italian components for our military aircraft from a country that historically produces crap military aircraft compared to US?
We have to buy BP OIL! No American companies THAT DIDN'T CREATE THE BIGGEST DISEASTER in the Gulf were good enough!
We have to have a company in the NETHERLANDS FEED OUR TROOPS!
Obama is using taxpayer dollars to outsource $29 BILLION for services that Americans can easily provide?
Btw - Did Romney ever use tax payer dollars against the tax payers?
So in summary, Dennis what does that make the score on outsourcing?
Obama - $29 Billion +
Romney - $0
SeekingSanity
which one is that since there are so many?
Dont_carry_it_all
Stay tuned.
And the candidate agreed to sit down for interviews with five TV networks—ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC—in what is presumed to be a part of the campaign's pushback against the Bain attacks.
S-u-r-r-r-r-e, like what a great VP Condi Rice would be and President Obama is a communist, Black unemployment is up , and Libs will vote for free stuff.
@ Newday save me a seat; I'm almost there. The fun will never stop.The insane right wing Klown Posse will keep on giving us so many LOL moments.
Beverly in Chicago, Dont_carry_it_all --
And to top it all off, unlike the despicable Swift-boating of John Kerry that was based on lies, these allegations against Romney are based on truth.
When you have gone through life getting away with everything, you think you can and will always get away with it. And worse, you begin to believe your lies are the truth. Romney is a fraud and a delusional one at that. I think folks are going to look back at this as many did about Ross Perot and think, wow, that was a close call.
bayllie - he was here for about a week but I see he is totally banned. Wasn't around long - at least under that moniker!
As we thought no new information
same old story from Mitt Romney
What a waste of TV news time
Here's some more news. Rice has once again said she will not be a VP.
My feeling is he will pick Paul Ryan.
Anyway, here's another article detailing Dems background on 3 VP candidates:
http://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-democrats-dump-opposition-research-top-vice-presidential-111250540--abc-news-politics.html
Just watched NBC Nightly News & all I can say is *WOW*!
Talk about anti-climatic!!!
Willard sat there and lied through his perfect teeth without so much as a challenge!
Then to allow Gotcha Gregory to chime in with his GNOP bias was beyond belief!
If this arrogant SOB to think this is going to go away because he spends 2-3 minutes with his @!$%#-eating smirk on his face, he is even more delusional than I previously thought!
I don't think so... but I would ♥ it!
We can then hang Eddie Munster's marvelous budget around Willard's neck!
I think he's going to go with a real *firecracker* like T-Paw or Portman!
Missed it. Darn. I'm not surprised Feisty. He's probably well scripted.
LOL!
If you're going to use a distraction, avoid conspiracy theories like Birthers, Transcripters, and
Fast & FuriousOperation Wide Receiver, and try to find something that might get traction. Here, like this:No Republican president has balanced the budget since Nixon, or has had a surplus since Eisenhower.
LMFAO knowing you are actually wearing Depends as the rightwing fantasy of turning our nation into a corporatist theocracy crumbles before your eyes.
Not unless they are willing to throw their own political careers into the crapper. Paul Ryan, he is crazy enough, so your wish may come true.
These upcoming interviews will be interesting. Romney's celestial undies will be in a bundle, along with lots of hyperventilating and snippy retorts. But alas, to no avail except to open more cans of worms?

Then to allow Gotcha Gregory to chime in with his GNOP bias was beyond belief!
GF, Gotcha Gregory never amazes me with GOPher spin!!!
Are you kidding me? Is this what passes for "intelligent" thought with the left?
ROTFLMAOATSMFWTHKS!
You, I think I have it all figured out. . .
Obama and his zombie-like supporters, (who mumble his talking points over and over, and expect to be taken seriously as intelligent life forms), simply cannot believe that running the Olympics took all of Romney's time from 1999 until 2002. Why should he- or they?
After all, Onama is President of the United States- but he has PLENTY of time to golf, vacation, have weekly soirees at the White House at taxpayer expense, meet with sports teams, and fundraise, fundraise, fundraise! Why, there have been times when he was at six fundraisers in three days!
Since the job for which OBAMA was hired takes up so little of his time, (with the results to prove it), why should he believe that anybody's job would consume him or her to the exclusion of everything else?
Mitt-Bain contradictions … and a few questions
Mitt said he retired from Bain in 1999.
Mitt said he took a leave of absence in 1999.
A Bain press release from July of 1999: "Bain Capital CEO W. Mitt Romney currently on a part-time leave of absence to head the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee for the 2002 Games." What is a part-time LOA, what does that even mean?
Mitt testified that he was a MA resident because he traveled from Salt Lake City to MA many times to attend Board meetings.
Between 1999 and 2001 Mitt Romney signed at least 6 documents that the private equity firm filed with the SEC.
He may not have been involved in the day to day operations of Bain Capital but he, according to the SEC filings, had legal responsibility as President, Chairman, CEO and sole shareholder.
One Bain employee said he reported to Mitt Romney while Mitt lived in Salt Lake City.
I know that you are not interested in the truth, Dennis- but here it is, anyway
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/do-bain-sec-documents-suggest-mitt-romney-is-a-criminal/2012/07/12/gJQAlyPpgW_blog.html?wprss=rss_fact-checker
So, see, when Romney left Bain in 1999- that would have been Bill Clinton who was president, by the way- he intended it to be a leave of absence. When the games ended, he decided to make a permanent separation- that would be, a retirement- in order to run for Governor.
I also realize that you would do ANYTHING for Obama- including make yourself look like an idiot by repeating debunked LIES, spin, and innuendo- so, have at it.
It reveals the desperation of the Obama campaign. Those internal polls must be really, really bad- maybe even worse than the ones they saw in 2010.
Booing was because Romney wants to repeal Affordable care act,but the majority of the people want affordable health-care... The republicans keep saying the people don't want it... "How do they know?" They aren't doing the job we sent them to Washington to do...
Congress 10% likability... Why don't they repeal their own health-care that we pay for?
Where are the jobs Mr. Boehner?
Well, I think I figured out where Dennis works
http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/12/democrats-opposition-research-on-republican-congressional-candidates-accidentally-made-public/
He, after all, was the genius that told the Libs R Us treehouse members that they were in a private group- despite the fact that they were on Google for all the world to see. Looks like he's doing a bang up job for the DCCC, too.
Isn't that precious?
Poor Snookie-Joe is still pouting over people having friends...
Tell us Donna, darling, does your "broom" come complete with a kick-stand?
Seriously, Feisy, what is it with no jo and her ilk and friendships. They can't make any so they are jealous of people who can?
Do you suppose that she knows how to search on Newsvine to find out how many similar groups there are by the right wing nuts that she tries to emulate?
Love our treehouse and how it drives the nutjobs crazy!
RedSoxRule, your lack of kindness towards those who disagree with you disgusts. You mock, you jeer, you put down. I find nothing you do in the news vine to be the least bit funny. There is nothing mature about taunting people RSR, if anything it shows you are an immature bully, you are closed minded, and you revel in the pain of others.
Those who think what the TEA Party is doing now is hilarious might have thought what the NAZI Party was doing was funny too in the beginning before the German Leaders started shooting the opposition. I am not amused by the digs RWNJs use to put down opposition in the news vine. The utter lack of respect and decency disturbs me greatly. It is one thing to not respect a person, it is another to stalk and harass. I have bitten (figuratively) my share of trolls in the News vine. I leave people I disrespect ALONE after I bite.
I accept that people will disagree with me, disagreement however is not license to insult others. As I disrespect your conduct RSR this will be my first and last post to you. I have NO interest in starting a discussion with you, now or in the future.
Woo hoo...the weekend is officially here. Thanks to our hosts for giving us a chance to put our thoughts out here, be they liberal, moderate, or conservative.
A bit of humor for a Friday afternoon. What I consider the greatest political ad ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXBDEPr9P9k
I think they stole that ad from some previous campaign; looks awfully familiar!!!
Have a good one, Grimey.
As usual, the right wingers are trying to deflect from Willard not releasing his tax records - as all presidential candidates have done. It must be tiring to always have to be making excuses for your candidate as Romney supporters have to do. It must be embarrassing to only have the likes of Romney as the BEST your party can do.
Obama/Biden 2012
I figured it was a spoof of some old campaign commercial but I don't know which.
That episode of the Simpsons is one of the single greatest pieces of political satire ever. A Rush Limbaugh look-alike moderating a debate. It definitely was harsher towards Republicans, but even so, it cracked me up. (If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at!)
Ad Transcript:
Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob...a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for mayor.
Have a great weekend Jody! :-)
Seeking...ummmm...wasn't trying to make excuses for anyone...just wanted to throw some Friday afternoon humor out there...courtesy of the Simpsons. Have a great weekend.
Frank - my comment was not directed at you.
Grimey, I'm thinking maybe a spoof based on the ads against Michael Dukakis.
Speaking of comedy, the past two weeks are as comical as they get (of course the minute I say that, it only means it will get more comedic).
Here we have Issa conducting a witch hunt and creating a massive tax payer funded stink over one memo related to Fast/Furious. If we would believe the GOP/TP faction, this single memo proves beyond a doubt the Obama administration personally killed Border Agent Terry, and it is the kingpin piece of evidence that links Obama to a 'real' conspiracy that takes away guns from Americans, and even more dreadful, declares Martial Law to stop the 2012 elections. Wow, all that from a single memo.
Yet, when it comes to Romney disclosing his tax returns and disclosing the truth behind his rather strange I was CEO/not a CEO of Bain, the GOP/TP are suddenly throwing their hands up in the air, wondering why the big deal. Never mind that shady CEO titans, in the last 6 years are the masterminds behind the housing collapse, the stock market collapse, the banking collapse, and massive employee layoffs. We have witnessed the B. Madoff scam; Wasendorg-Peregrine scandal; the M. Marin investment scam; JP Morgan scam; LIBOR scam; and the convictions in the Wall Street mafia trillion dollar scam. Given the amount of corruption and the massive amounts of money scammed by these "business types", we should be asking any Presidential Candidate with a business background for full disclosure. How else will we know if he is just another shyster, or an above board business man?
So there we have it folks, the right invents crazy, outlandish, and comedic conspiracies that revolve around one memo. The left, after several years of theft and corruption simply want the opposing candidate vetted. And the call the left loony? It is the height of responsibility.
RedDev,
Great summary of the the RWNJ looking in all the wrong places.
The manipulation of LIBOR interest rates investigation will only grow. Heard on NPR, three US banks might also be involved. The NY Fed are investigating. And some big institutional investors are also raising lots of questions.
Stay tuned.
@Northstar - the link below is great coverage on the bond market rate manipulation conducted over at least a 10 year period and is loosely estimated to have cost cities and tax payers hundreds of billions if not trillions. I find it odd it hasn't been discussed here more often. Of course, the right are desperately trying to hide the fact that it ever happened.
The LIBOR rate manipulation is global, impacted almost every global inter-bank lending board, and will make the bond scheme look like small potatoes. While no one will ever know the true cost, some estimates put it into the 10 of trillions scammed. But hey, those gosh darn banks don't need no regulations. As I've said before, banks need to be regulated so tightly that the CEOs can't use the restroom without telling an auditor if they will be going number one to number two. For god knows, they certainly cannot be counted upon to count anything honestly.

Red Dev,
Just finished reading the article. OMG, the hubris of these people is unbelievable.
You are so right. This bond scam will pale in comparison to the global LIBOR manipulation.
In the meatime, The GOP want to nominate a vulture capitalist to be President of the United States.
Just like the jury in the above case, common everyday people will have the last say and it will be NO to Romney.
Red --Nice posts, thanks for the link. The "Whale" has been beached. Now the US has confirmed it's investigating JP Morgan's London people for masking losses.
LIBOR is now hitting our shores. Should be interesting to see if any of these guys end up in jail.
How many times will we let them off the hook?
John McCain, after vetting Romney and getting twenty years of tax papers from Romney, dropped him and chose Palin... That's got to tell you something...
Even Romney's father showed twelve years of taxes when he was Governor...
Romney is just too slick... He's all for what he can get for himself, at any cost to the middle-class...

That's really a brain trust huh? LMAO
You should put a list of Obama Kardashian supporters. It would be a who's who from Hollywood.
Red Sux -
Put up your own list ass-wipe. For somebody who does as much research on one's SSN, you shouldn't have a problem finding your own.....
No...the brain trust would be the democratic supporters.
Gates, buffet, Jobs(before he died) and now Ballmer, Page (Google), Paul Allen(m$), Jeff Bezos (amazon), Vinton Cerf (the internet), larry ellison (oracle), david filo (yahoo).
See, I could live without most republicans. You don't actually provide anything of note. You package it and sell it. But few create anything themselves.
But no way I could live without democrats. They're the inventors, scientists, mathematicians, etc who actually create new things.
Even Ben Franklin was a Federalist.
The White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the controversial July 12 rule that allow states to opt out of the successful, bipartisan and popular 1996 welfare reform law that required people on welfare to also work to maintain those benefits.
I hope President Clinton comes out and addresses this. I want details.
So Tek, I guess you like the Romney list then. That's good, otherwise you could be called a hypocrite.
Wow GT-2021701, thank you for the information. Wouldn't it be nice if news outlets would broadcast this so more voters could know what Romney donors are paying for?
Amy,
It's not broadcast, because it's just a bunch of BS! It has to actually be TRUE for you to print it.
Amy,
I would love for more news outlets to actually cover the news without bias.
thetotas: fluffy little kittens in the barn!
GT, save this one; it's great information and should be repeated. I've heard discussion of several of these guys and what they want but not seen it in writing.
RSR,
The Romney list has scientists and mathematicians?
I must've missed it. Point it out to me again, please.
teknishan - the GOPers don't believe in science so how would they have scientists?
RedSoxRule
why don't you do it for us
and while you're at it, why don't you tell us what kind of perks are these evil actors looking for? Haliburton-type of a contract?
Newday,
How beautiful, how many and are they OK? I hope your daughter is doing well.
GT - I look at that list and I just want to cry!!!! So many of them hail from Utah and maid money via pyramid schemes and taking advantage of their fellow-men .... ICK! The selfishness in this State and the whole "I'll get my own planet one day, why not hose my neighbor now mentality" makes me sick!
On that note, the majority of them don't drink so, I will be with fellow Liberal Drinkin' Dems tonight! Enjoy your weekend!
thetotas:
There are four, three orange and white, one gray and white. Mom is taking good care of them. My house cat Kiernan found them. He LOVES kittens above all else. He makes a chirping noise and they come running! They are fine, will do better now that I know they are there and can supplement food and get them to the vet.
My daughter is doing great too, past the morning sickness.
I do hope your family is well, and your critters are too!
Have a good weekend.
The kind of men who support Barak Obama:
Bill Ayers- domestic terrorists and confirmed America hater
Bernadine Dohrn- domestic terrorist and confirmed America hater
Tony Rezko- convicted felon and currently serving a prison term
Mohamed Morsi- sex slave advocate
John Corzine-"oops, I "lost" (wink, wink) a billion dollars of people's money who trusted me"
Erik the Red Holder- baby murder condonerand affirmed racist
Raul Castro- murdering communist
Fidel Castro-murdering communist
and on and on and on and on.....
How manymore would you like?
To the squeaky-whiny little bitch and your pathetic little list:
What is it you are attempting to prove by listing non-American citizens on the list? About the only quality that radiates from your squeaky punk self is you belong to some extremist Neo-Nazi Aryan group in Northern Idaho. Don't you and your ilk have special websites where you can rant to you hearts content?
squeakywill
at least you have your list. we are still waiting to find out who the hell is Willard Romney how he made his money and who is sending him cash.
but I guess we will never find out - at least about Romney's cash - because he said he will not release his tax returns. Except 2011 but he is working hard to clean that one up.
For all we know, Romney made his cash by being a Columbian drug dealer....
Look at that dope head go ballistic because my list is a factual representation
Why not put non-Americans on the list? He's holding fund raisers overseas and last election he accepted non-traceable foreign donations from credit cards.
I'm so glad to have my first week after vacation behind me that I'm buying the first round at the Dew Drop Inn this evening. Mojitos in honor of my recent trip south of the border, where everyone I spoke to expressed admiration for President Obama and, unsolicited, would ask what was up with George Bush!
Thanks to our hosts at First Read for providing a place for us political junkies to hang out--your hard work is much appreciated.
Welcome back Steeler Fan- we were happy to keep the light on for ya!
From the looks of things, you had the time of your life! ☺
See ya in Vegas in 3 weeks GF!
First round of drinks with fancy umbrella's by the pool are on me!
You do know we will be there celebrating at the same time our President turns 51?
WHOOO HOOO!
My guess is that you didn't speak to any friends or family of the hundreds innocent Mexicans killed by the 2,500 assault rifles Obama let walk to the drug cartels, huh?
Or were those imaginary conversations like your imaginary drinks with your imaginary friends at your imaginary bar?
bob - those would be the guns courtesy of the Bush administration. Get your facts straight.
Thanks for the drink Steeler Fan . . . delish!
I am sure that Vegas will be a blast as well . . . if you meet a sad guy named bob there . . . give him a hug from me, would ya? ;o)
Actually, bob, I wasn't in Mexico so that program started by Bush wasn't a topic that came up.
Sour grapes, much?
P.S. To go with the mojitos will be seafood and cheese empanadas as well as other tapas.
Wonder why he wasn't ragging on SpankMe!
Weird...
Steeler Fan -
So ... some unamed people in some country somewhere south of the US border that you talked to .... like Obama.
My bad .... that is important news. Thanks for sharing.
And about .... "that program started by Bush" ... is a lie.
You know that right ..... you aren't really as stupid as some others?
Hey Nash -
Long time ... good to see ya again.
I love mojitos! yum! Can't wait to party in Vegas, Libs! whoo hoo!
It will be fun to reconnect with the long timers and meet a few of the newbies!
I wish Buzz would come along and tend the Jukebox for us!
We are celebrating the rain we've received in the recent 26 hours or so! Thank goodness!
Clara - it absolutely POURED in Chicago. We are thrilled!
Where? When?
Will you send some West please?
The lawns are dead & the trees are dying a slow death...
What a mess!
PS: Nash - one of these days we're going to kidnap ya! ;o)
"What a mess!"
The Obama Administration, aptly described, thanks.
Feisty we had about an hour of a real downpour. Everything got drenched - including a lot of people walking past my office. (we had them come inside - it was lightening and everything!)
Hope it makes its way to your area!
Actually Boob - I was referring to what's left over after your daily probe!
Bob is desperate and it shows with every post. His poster boy may soon be on a poster in the Post Office so he's frantic!
Obama/Biden 2012
Steeler Fan, welcome home and welcome back to FR. Mojitos, one of my favorites. I'll be right over.
bob, margaritas are associated with Mexico.
Steeler Fan,
Thanks for the mojito... My favorite drink in the summer!! Tell us all about your trip... Poor bob and many others seem to unaware that many countries south of the US speak Spanish !!!LOL
Thanks to everyone on First Read for a great week of thread.
The number of new" one line dancers" seem to be propagating like the infestation of Japanese Beetles in my flower garden.
The countdown to the clown circus in Tampa.
I hear the music, laughter, and good conversation coming from the DDI all the way down the road.
Feisty, looking forward to the umbrella drinks by the pool too....
Clara, we got much needed rain, too. A good inch and it's raining again now.
WTF???
I feel so left out! lol
It is thundering like crazy & the satellite is down... BUT... we have only gotton a couple of sprinkles...
I'm a gonna go do my rain dance - be back soon! ;o)
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
if i keep watering my grass at the rate I am forced to, my well will dry up :(
It has not rained in like 3 weeks!
Jody -
And why would I anticipate a lib knowing that?
Well I'll be damned... it WORKED! lol
Bayllie - even with watering, it hasn't helped much. Just been too freakin hot with the sun constantly pounding down on it.
We gave our lilac bushed around the deck a good soaking which perked them up!
Good Luck & I'll do a little rain dance for you too!
Feisty - we're about to get our 2nd round - and me on my way home! Arrrgh! But, we really need it. Hope it rains all weekend long!
Have a great one - everyone!
bob, I lived in San Diego for over 21 years; you know, just north of the Mexican border? Lots of south of the border influence in SD including margaritas.
Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL
Thank you, my lawn needs it. Have a great weekend!
It's a hoot to read the post of the First Read "regulars". It is a rare occurrence to find so many ignorant people in one place belly rubbing each other. But hey,I laughed and I thank you for that. Absolutely comical. Don't worry, I'm sure "the host" love you, can't speak for the rest of hard working America but I'm pretty sure they would find you disgusting.
Political junkies? I'm guessing gluten junkies stuck inside their bedrooms, ignoring their screaming bastard children, only venturing out to check their mailbox for other people's money. That just feels right with the "regulars" of First Read.
Ah - now it makes sense. Squeaky is a rereg troll - soon to be gone.
RedDev,
Squeasky got his new account on Thursday.
Since yesterday he has posted 26 posts on three threads on FR.
RedDev,
You have a great evening.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Cheers! My favorite is the the raspberry mojito. Yummy.
Thanks to Mark and Domenico for all you do. Cheers!
Hey bob -- Cheers! It's Friday. Lighten up. Enjoy the sunshine.
Say hello to safecracker - winemaker - bulletstopper... etc!
Hey Red!
Nice job calling out MaoZeObama - you were right, it was James, Jason et al & now officially toast!

Frank VanderSloot, CEO Melaeuca, Inc., Worth $1 Billion,
Donation $1 Million to Romney’s SuperPAC , What He Wants: Less consumer
protections
GT-
Frank VanderSloot, he is the fat tube of lard that starte3d the Fast & Furious Witch hunt?
VanderSloot is an unusual name....not common.
Is he related to that predator, now imprisoned, who no doubt killed the teenager Natalie Holloway and then killed another young woman somewhere in South America?
Beverly and Chilled - I think VanderSloot's son is the one who murdered the women. So, clearly Vandersloot produced a lot! Blech!
Wrong as usual...but has that ever stopped you from spreading lies?? Since we don't know YOUR last names perhaps you have spawned murderers...
SeekingSanity
Beverly and Chilled - I think VanderSloot's son is the one who murdered the women. So, clearly Vandersloot produced a lot! Blech!
SeekingSanity I looked it up. He is not.
Frank L. VanderSloot (born August 14, 1948) is an American entrepreneur, radio network owner and cattle rancher. He is chief executive officer of Melaleuca, Inc., an Idaho Falls, Idaho,-headquartered company that sells home goods and health-related products.[1][2] VanderSloot is one of thirteen national finance co-chairs for the 2012 Mitt Romney presidential campaign.[3]
VanderSloot and his wife, Belinda, live in Idaho Falls. VanderSloot is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[24]

And yet, no apology right Bev?? Just make accusations based on some wild notion that because names are similiar (not even spelled the same way) that you infer that they are guity... Nice...
You also have neglected to post that Frank L. VanderSloot has donated considerable amounts to various charities over the years, including victims of Katrina...
Don't you think it's funny that the one thing Romney has to run on (Bain), he's now running from?

Obama/Biden 2012
Mitt Romney didn't just get booed at the NAACP, he got 14 solid seconds of boos and he deserved every one of them.
Amazing fictional tale from Redsox who claims President Obama isn't running on his records. Contrast that with the real President's speeches where he talks about his successes of ACA, saving the auto industry, bringing jobs back from China, and the countless other parts of his record. Heard him today in VA tell voters that he is pleased that so much economic progress has been made in 3 1/2 years but that he recognizes there's more to do.
Redsox must have "misspoke"; he really meant that it was Mitt Romney who wasn't running on his record. He disowned RomneyCare, speaks about being Governor but avoids talking about what he did as Governor, he mentions the Olympics but can't too much because the taxpayers bailed him out, won't release his tax returns, has millions stashed off-shore or did he just "out source" his millions. Romney used to tout his Bain Capital experience but now appears to be running just as fast as he can to spin it.
I fully expect Mitt Romney to claim that Obama signed RomneyCare into MA law, signed to increase taxes as Gov of MA, bailed out the Olympics and forged those signatures and dates on the Bain paperwork. Wouldn't surprise me, Mitt blames President Obama for everything.
Jody---the more I think about the NAACP speech, the more I think it shows how de-sensitized the treatment of the President has made the Republicans. They have failed to give President Obama the respect due his office and so by referring to ACA by its derisive nickname of Obamacare, I think Romney was surprised that people took offense. Like it or not, it is a signature achievement by the President and the lack of respect was telling.
Obama himself said he didnt mind it being called "Obamacare".
Whats in a name? Whatever it is called , it is massively unpopular, a bureaucratic monstrosity and will be repealed in 2013 !
Bob - it won't be repealed. Get used to it.
"Heard him today in VA tell voters that he is pleased that so much economic progress has been made in 3 1/2 years"
The President is out of touch with reality.. His economic record is a massive failure and disaster by any measure. The worst economic recovery from a recession since WW2. Massive government spending with massive deficits, and no plan to stop the fiscal bleeding .
Really Probe Boy?
Is that why the President is creaming Willard in the polls there? lol
The only one out of touch is YOU Boob!
Fisty, nice to see such a great response. What intellect you demonstrate. LMAO
You need to learn how to read polling data better. LOL
Get lost penguin-boy - I have no desire to feed a troll...
Fisty, you just did! I win again! Cha-ching! LOL
RedSoxRule - my guess is you've never won at anything! But, that's okay, keep trying!
They love President Obama in Virginia. Especially Northern Virginia!
VP Bob bitching again, and trying to blame the President for the doings of the Republicans. I can't wait for the elections to shut these people up.
Just watched Willard on NBC and guess what, he spun right off to blamed President Obama for his troubles; did NOT answer the questions asked beyond the same story he's been telling "I left in Feb 1999...had no" say so over the operations and it's all President Obama's fault that the media is picking on him. He again said he has no intention of releasing any additional tax forms. So McCain gets tax forms back to 1984 and the American people, whom he is asking to vote for him and to trust him, have no right to know. Excuse me, Mitt, your dishonesty and lies continue to show. I watched Romney's eyes, he was lying every moment of that interview.
As if Vaginal Probe McDonnell wasn't bad enough, this gem from the Maddow show last night was priceless (also printed in 2009 at Salon). Apparently, vagina probes isn't the only probing that gets this conservative's gun ready to fire.
Do we call him VaginalProbe McDonnell, or MightSodomize McDonnell.

See, post #1.69 - Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:04 PM EDT
NitMitt is also too afraid to push his luck on Friday the 13th.
The "boos" that count are the ones at the voting booths across the nation as we toss this disgusting dog-eater back to that pit called Chicago. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Moochelle and that stand-up comic Joe Biden are worried about their perks. Biden smells defeat looming, and is getting more and more desperate. Watching him make a speech is like watching a drunk race car driver. You know he's going to crash, you just don't know when. LOL
Joseph - with every post you make you show how utterly lacking in intelligence and class you are.
At least after November you'll probably crawl back under the rock you came out from under.
Obama/Biden 2012
If you're seriously a "parent" Joseph, I truly feel sorry for your kids. They should be living with someone who is supposed to show them how to live in a world and respect others. Making fun of the President's wife????? Really? that's lower than fish ... sh.t
I am going out on a limb here, and predicting that Romney's VP selection...
....won't be beloved by our leftie loon commenting community here at First Read...
Yes the selection will be "Palinized" ...ABC reported it has the oppo research done by the DNC on the top candidates, and no doubt the smears and hate will be spewing from the commenters here, fast and furious.....George Soros is writing the checks.
Bob - my guess is you're right that we will not have any respect for the VP candidate for Romney. That is because no one with any integrity or self-respect would run with Mitt. He has shown he is lacking in character, integrity, honor, and conscience. So, we probably won't be finding anyone with sterling character teaming up with him. No one of integrity would choose to be his running mate.

Bev,
So why do YOU care about Romney's tax returns? I mean you aren't going to vote for him, so why the obsession?
JK, It's not just me who won't be voting Romney. There are plenty of people beginning to cross over now that they see what a Pinocchio Mitt is.
So to you point, what reason is there for someone to reveal their financial records? I mean, America let slide on Obama and his college transcripts (again..WHY are they SEALED?). But be that as it may, both sides spend far too much time about such trivial things. I'm quite certain that Romney's tax returns have been looked over by the IRS and if there was anything out of the ordinary, I'm SURE someone would have reported it by now. Simply because you don't like that he's rich and has the ability to invest his wealth as he sees fit (or as his blind trust sees fit) should be a matter between him and his attorney's and accountants.
As for flip flopping, both candidates have done an excellent job at changing their stance on topics. As much as you might not like to admit it, Obama has changed his stance on various issues over the years, and yet you still voted for him, right? So why can't you give that same measure of respect for the other candidate? Aren't they allowed to change their view on issues? (whether it be to gain them votes or because they truly adopted a new and "evolved" stance on a subject.)
While you're on here bitching and blaming (the other party) both parties are getting ready to put the screws to this entire nation. Here's a real story you won't see on MSN or Yahoo. Tell me what is Homeland security going to do with 450 MILLION rounds of ammunition?
HAHAHAHAHAHA, They removed the link? Not allowed to include links on MSN anymore? Try again

I hope you have a day job Andrew. Your delivery is like watching a live version of Teen Titans as they're trying to decide how to defeat the villain. But, hey, you're a handsome guy.
I wonder if Obama realizes just how many boos he receives every minute of everyday across America.
Food for thought.
You sound like another useful pawn who thinks that the poor don't deserve anything. This is the common theme from Republicans: that the poor are lazy free loaders while the rich wear the white hats. It's to justify all the goodies the rich get and to demonize the poor so that no one will complain when they strip the poor of everything. And useful pawns serve the rich against their own interests. Throw in a Black man from the other party who beats two of the worst candidates ever to run for the White House (John McLame and Sarah Failin' Six Pack Palin, and you piss the Republican pawn off big time!
Military Members, Veterans, Military retirees;
please note that Swiss Bank account Romney PROMOTED THE DRAFT during the Viet Nam War,
then skipped out to France for extraordinary length of time when church missionary tours were limited.
When Romney came home, he sided with his dad that the whole Viet Nam War was a scam and that he was against the war.
Promoting the draft, while Americans were dying, he skipped out, then says he wishes he could have participated. His whole life has been a lie.
Romney is a COWARD, Lying, Draft Dodger, who promoted someone else to die for him, that is his way of management.
Some may want anyone but Obama, but this guy ranks with Jane Fonda and should not be given anything or elected for anything.
For those who are not old enough to remember the military draft, it was a mandatory commitment for two years that was implemented during the Viet Nam War. If your number was called, you went and served like it or not. Young people may say, I wouldn't go and they can't make me, think again.
This is what Romney promoted as if he were a "responsible citizen", then he left his fellow citizens to serve and some died for us and him. I am ashamed of him as I am retired military member, and forget about representing our country Mr. Romney.
I am one of the Military members who are against Romney, this has nothing to do with politics.
hmmm... let me think about this... my choices are between a guy who's main business was jobs and a racist community agitator... I'll have to go with the jobs guy... the agitator seemed to have been a huge mistake... O'blamer has ZERO chance of winning...
Open minded folks: by responding to the trolls, you only encourage them. I know it's difficult--they are so blatantly awful, willfully ignorant, and detached from reality.
The screwballs on the right can't understand that taxes are the PUBLIC PURSE - the money is supposed to go back to the public thru health, education, clean water and air, etc. etc. - NOT their corporate friends.
Da Noid Beverly in Chicago even tho she is wrong about Romney's release of his tax return's gives you your answer. Obama released his tax returns. He forgot to redact his SS#, 042-68-4425 on the return. And then there is the Selective Service Registration card the same SS# appears for Obama. So yes the President's number has been revealed by his stupidity. And guess what it doesn't matter really whether that card was issued in Connecticutt or Hawaii. Why? because the Social Security Administration has verified that number 042-68-4425 the number Obama is using WAS NEVER ISSUED TO OBAMA
Da Noid Your answer was posted by Beverly in chicago even tho she is wrong about Romney posting his tax return which he has done. She did that unknowingly, something liberals often do. She said Obama HAS posted his tax return. In his stupidity he didn't redact his SS# 042-68-4425. He also used it on his Selective Service Registration, also made public. Now you don't have to believe me on that just pull Obama's tax return and Selective Service Registration up on line. The question tho will you believe your own eyes? Then check with the Social Security Administration. You see it doesn't matter whether Obama got it in Hawaii or Connecticutt because the Social Security Administration NEVER ISSUED THE SS# 042-68-4425 TO OBAMA. How about explaining why Obama is using a SS# not issued to him?
Sorry about the double entry. First time on this site.
For all you Obama blind supporters answer just one question, please. Explain why Obama is using the SS# 042-68-4425 that the Social Security Administration has verified was
Cause he is a muslim terrorist born in kenya hell bent on making our country communist? Im betting that would be your answer....Take your tin foil hat off and go to bed!! But if you cannot sleep here are few more wack job theories going around the web you will like
