WATERFORD, Mich. -- Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty laughed off "lame" questions Thursday about whether he'd be interested in a cabinet position in a Mitt Romney administration if he isn't selected as the GOP's vice presidential candidate.
"It would be presumptuous and premature for people to be talking about positions down the road," he told reporters at a cabinetry store outside of Detroit, poking at the press for the pun on "cabinets."
"And for me I'm just happy to help [Gov. Romney] as a volunteer. I'm happy to be working in the private sector and on other projects, so beyond that I don't have any plans," he added.
Pawlenty, who is widely discussed as being a possible partner for Romney on the GOP ticket, appeared in eastern Michigan as part of a fundraising tour on the GOP nominee's behalf. As a former governor who no longer serves in elected office or has a professional post other than his membership on a bevy of business boards, he would be a prime candidate for a job in Romney's administration should he be passed over for the No. 2 slot.
In addition to a peppering of questions from reporters eager to match his schedule with a possible secret veep rollout, he fielded inquiries about the Romney campaign's new television advertisements.
Asked about a new ad that links President Obama's contraception coverage policy with a "war on religion," Pawlenty pointed to Romney's past comment that available contraceptives are "working just fine."
"I think Gov. Romney said it best in one of the televised debates when he said contraceptives are working fine and we should leave them alone," he said, referencing January debate in New Hampshire. "And to his point on religious liberties he was referring to the fact that the Obama administration has imposed new limitations on the exercise of religion and has offended the many leaders of the Catholic church and other faith leaders in that regard."
Touring the cabinetry facility with owners Rik and Mike Kowall, the former Minnesota governor munched on donuts and chatted about the impact of economic uncertainty on small businesses.
"Who decides what music you play?" he joked with one employee as Dire Straits' hit "Money for Nothing" blared in the workroom.
Pawlenty is expected to travel to New Hampshire for a busy slate of public events on Saturday.

These jokers are a laugh a minute!
And... about as funny as a heart attack!
Normal people laugh, while Willard "guffaws"...
Isn't he special..? lol
How's work going Feisty?
elliot How's work going elliot? Working hard or hardly working?
im hitting F5 constantly and cant get first post.
Caesar Augustus-
If F5 isn't the advance notice key then you'll never get it.
Betty gets her notices several minutes before everybody else but then again who really cares. Whatever she writes is nothing but trash, name calling and/or just plain Bull Sh!t.
thats kinda the joke. i wouldnt sit and hit F5. I let the semi paid blogger do it.
Its really sad that real discussion cant happen since most of the left bloggers have a virtual bat cave with virtual *popcorn* and Virtual *franzia* discussing stratagem to handle those with the opposing view.
Yeah that aint a sign of Loserdom LOL
reb whatever she writes is nothing but trash, name calling and/or just plain bull s#it.
Kind of like what you just did.
Hi Feisty,
Romney and company need a bigger clown car.
Isnt' it fun watching the wheels fall off? ☺
hey Job, maybe Romney would be humble enough to borrow Obama's
Smitty-4183671
Truth hurts I guess.
Isn't that what they all say just before they accept a position?
The wheels on the (short) bus go round and...
Why? Is Romney's stuck on one of his elavators in La Jolla?
Well Well Well
I didn't think the disgusting democrat party could outdo the Romney killed my wife Ad but now they are running an campaign Adfeaturing US Representative Alan West punching a white women in the face and stealing her money!
How LOW can the democrats GO???
Caesar, Why on earth are you trying so hard to get the first post? Bless your little heart, you do know it will be collapsed or deleted within moments as you just don't have much to contribute to the conversation. EVER
Time for Mitt to take off the gloves and end this national disgrace called the democrat party!
reb truth hurts I guess.
I never knew that republicans, know what truth is. I sorry that the truth hurts.
Layton, nice balloons, but i clearly jest. I dont want first and if its a matter of contributing being a qualification why on earth would Feisty et al not get deleted. Let me guess, this is where you say It does provide substanance to the conversation.
These jokers are a laugh a minute!
And... about as funny as a heart attack!
Normal people laugh, while Willard "guffaws"...
Isn't he special..? lol
Real thought provoking there eh Layton. You'll say yes I am sure but you also like balloons.
Reb and Caesar -
Writing multiple posts saying "no one cares" and generally saying that a certain red-headed poster is irrelevant kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think?
Brockton Barlow:
This ad no more shows Allen West "punching a white women in the face and stealing her money" than that other ad accuses Romney of murdering that guy's wife. It's a stupid cartoon, for crying out loud! If this is the lowest political ad you've ever seen, you're just not watching very much tv:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/too-far-new-attack-ad-targeting-allen-west-depicts-him-beating-women/
P.S. - I notice you were only concerned about "West" punching white women. Punching the middle class black family is okay, though?
(Geez, I can't believe I just linked to something from The Blaze - I need to go take a hot shower!)
TNSE, you care, so that is wrong. you're Blog Furher is nothing more than scum on the bottom of a shoe and I like showing you guys, although it is really like talking to a rock, what you idol really is.
Romney says contraceptives are "working just fine". Well, that would be true except for some states' systematic dismantling of healthcare for the poor. Texas is the perfect example--the legislators (overwhelmingly male Republicans) have chipped away at the budget for women's clinics in particular. Why they would prefer to pay over $16,000/year for pre-natal care, delivery, and post-natal care vs. $350 for contraception is beyond me. And I thought conservatives were the ones who were fiscally responsible. They're neither compassionate nor conservative in their budgetary decisions. I pray every day that Texans will wake up and vote someone other than Perry in office--preferably a woman! (Oh how I miss Gov. Ann Richards!)
Caesar, although I read it carefully a couple of times I did not understand a word of what you just wrote.
*Insert obvious joke here*
Great! Now we have another Democrat insulting the entire people group that ride the special-needs buses to school! Devie, didn't anyone ever teach you not to insult other people groups? Or is that just a Democrat thing because you don't have a legitimate talking point but think you have to post something, anything, for attention?
Rocks.
Feisty appears to have gotten under Caesar's unwashed skin. He could save himself a lot of typing by simply posting, "Waaaaaaaaaaahhh!!" after reading one Feisty's posts. That particular response will waste less of our time ignoring it and it will be a more accurate reflection of Caeser's maturity and intellectual levels, too.
I think it's because they don't have any legitimate talking points -- and no record that they can or want to run on. Always the same it's someone or something else's fault -- wasn't me! By the way I've got a sign on my door for when the demons start pouncing on the neighborhood to get you to vote democrat "I BUILT THIS!!! NOT THE GOVERNMENT AND CERTAINLY NOT OBAMA" LOL @ the liberals -- go ahead and collapse me, truth hurts! P.S. I'm a registered independent. Voted for 2 democratic presidents -- Carter (hey I was 18) and Obama, yes I am ashamed of myself that I voted for a "charismatic" instead of a leader.
Bethie-
I can't quite understand the Republican approach to "family planning".
They are against funding for contraceptives or sex education, and don't support a women's right to choose.
Then if a woman gets pregnant they are against providing any form of assistance: healthcare, child-care or WIC.
I am all for personal responsibility, but give me a break!
How does that make sense?
Sailcat,
Little Caesar does seem to have a bizarre fixation with me...
To the point it's unhealthy! ;o)
Dotties Girl -
I don't think you have to worry about anyone knocking on your door, after all you can't live on a public street or a paved road if "you built that"!
I am impressed that you managed to access the internet without any assistance from government-supported infrastructure like phonelines or satelllites - or did "You Build That" too?
Joanne: thanks for the link, actually. I thought the ad was funny.
I'm in the Chicago area, so about the only ads I've seen so far have been featuring the really bad singing by Mitt Romney. Too bad he doesn't have a day job, he'll never make it in the music biz.
As to T-Paw, I know its hard for the real political junkies, but ITS AUGUST, nothing significant ever happens in August. That's why the GOP plans its convention now, because no one cares, they are all on vacation.

I wouldnt say under my skin, more of a goose and ganders thingy. Thanks for worrying about my epidermis.
Love a man who's so concerned with precision. That absolutely rocks.
I had a fortune cookie once that said, "Speed is no substitute for accuracy."
In so many ways.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't talking in the third person a tell-tale sign of some psycho-babble condition or other?
Or maybe I'm just jealous because I can't get under your epidermis.
Hmmmmmmmm??????
But anyway. What I'm really here for this afternoon, my fellow Americans, is to roll out my personal theme for the 2012 election season, which will be to review everything Republicans really stand for from the standpoint of "American Exceptionalism," which is what they SAY they stand for.
Today's look at American Exceptionalism concerns the private health care system -- you know, that health care system that Republicans have sworn to defend at all costs against the tyranny of "socialized medicine," AKA Obamacare. So, I thought it might be useful to explore what the term "exceptionalism" means when applied to the private health care system.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/06/23/us-usa-healthcare-last-idUSTRE65M0SU20100623
You see, in that context, "exceptionalism" means exceptionally high cost, exceptionally low quality, exceptionally low efficiency, and exceptionally low equity of treatment.
And conservatives are afraid of Obamacare wrecking America? Exactly what do they think that the uncontrolled costs and inferior product of private sector health care is doing to America?
Whatever it is, it's hardly exceptional.
TNSEVOL, It doesn't and don't expect the GOTP to come to anytime soon.
Or, wait. That's what Sailcat said, isn't?
Hard to tell what's what when megalomaniacs start talking to themselves.
LoL I guess I'd better slow down and work on my own accuracy.
Blame it all on George W. Bush. I know I always do.
I've never been the same since then.
Anna--I agree. Did you see my post (#1.20)? Texas legislators would rather pay the costs of supporting a pregnancy & delivery (& cost of raising that child) than allow women access to free contraceptives at the same clinics for low-income women. Paying for one is 50 times more expensive than paying for the other. Once the kid gets here, no one wants to pay for food, education, or health care for that child.
It's. just. not. logical.
Whew - thank goodness for ingnore on FR. Suffering thru disgustus and reb-itch gossiping like school girls is as unentertaining as watching Snookie Jo hump anything with 3 legs on that crazy reality TV show Jersey Whores.
Bethie - and Texas won't teach sex ed because they're afraid young people will learn how to have sex. Yeah, how's that working for the state? So sorry you're from there but I'm afraid the state leadership is about as stupid as they come. Only states close are AZ and FL - whew - they do grow them dumb there!
Obama/Biden 2012
Bethie --
It's. just. not. logical.
Sure it is. They're consistent with their belief that somehow they have the right to force their phony-baloney religious beliefs on everyone else, despite THEIR beliefs, AND their belief that the only important function that a woman performs is to reproduce, a la "The Handmaid's Tale," AND their belief that men don't carry any responsibility for the children they randomly create. The irony being that fundamentalism is dangerously close to the religions they say they hate where women are routinely de-valued and abused. Exceptional.
Did we watch the same ad? What I saw in the ad was cancer killed my wife. Not once, did I see anyone say Romney killed my wife. Have the extremist right wing freaks completely given up their comprehension skills? It used to be they got their talking points from Faux/Limbaugh. Now it appears they also rely on them to interpret basic English.
And can someone tell me what F5 is supposed to do? Refresh?
Huh. Mine doesn't do anything.
Must have been the grape koolaid I spilled on it.
No wonder I'm never first, either.
Difference is, I don't care.
How can a question be "lame?" The question cannot move.
@Brockton Barlow,
We can go as low as Rush LipDick can call someone a hoe.
It's about time we return the punch in the face.
bring it.
As I always say, repression hurts, and abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.
As it turns out, the highest teenage pregnancy rates continue to be in "abstinence only" red states. And teenage girls who get comprehensive sex education are 60 percent less likely to become pregnant.
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/04/10/461402/teen-pregnancy-sex-education/
How does that happen, anyway?
Truly exceptional.
Anna Molly -
Those who defend the American healthcare system as "exceptional" are only seeing one side of the coin.
We do have lots of cutting-edge procedures and "exceptional" doctors and surgeons, they are just not available to everyone. Healthcare plans for CEOs, politicians, and others who can afford them undoubtedly offer "exceptional" care and benefits.
Those who support the current two-tiered system definitely have access to the "upper tier".
Did we watch the same ad? What I saw in the ad was cancer killed my wife.
RedevPS - Nexus. Do you know what a Nexus is? Look it up and watch the ad. Then maybe you might understand why even the commies on Morning Joe are talking about the Ad in the context of Romney killing the guys wife.
But having read your foolishness in the past I won't hold out any hope that you will be able to connect the dots.
I'm sure you stil believe Obama was saying business owners didn't build the road and bridges instead of not being responsible for building their business, right?
The question has been posed over & over by the RWNJ's...
"How LOW can/will the Democrats go ?"
Why do you ask us Liberals ?
is it rhetorical or stupidity ?
Do you really even NEED an answer ?
HERE IS A FREE CLUE....
The LIBERAL rank & file has for YEARS demanded that the Party follow the example
set by the opposition (YOUR SIDE) to NO AVAIL !
NOW they have heard us loud & clear & have adopted the GOP/TP playbook .
That you whine & cry FOUL!! so early on in the game, before they have even had a chance to get up to the speed the GOP operates at indicates that the PAIN is more than you can or will bear, words my friend, are only painfull when they are YOURS & being used against you .
If you think it's bad now wait until 2016 when you have NO BODY AGAIN to run for office & Liberals have had another 4 years of using the weapons the GOP unleashed on America.... and in 4 years Rove, Cheney, Rush & a whole mees of your OLD GUARD will be either dead, to rich to care or to infirm to function...you ARE the party of those about to die...a majority are over 60 & w/o health insurance !
There is NO NEW DAWN on the horizon for the GOP/TP... the wheels have been stolen or broken on the clown car that was your party .
Mitt Romney is a war monger who will sell jobs over seas.
Barack Obama is a Marxist who will enforce unconstitutional laws and Mandates.
Thanks to Obama, Any us citizen can be detained or assassinated without trial. Thanks to George Bush, Just About anything you do makes you a terrorist. And the Patriot Act makes Growing Gardens illegal. Any crime you commit, is considered an act a terrorism.
"Who decides what music you play?" he joked with one employee as Dire Straits' hit "Money for Nothing" blared in the workroom.
Just about says all you need to know about the Obama Administration policies.
You don't even make any sense.
But that is the kind of person it takes to vote for Mitt the twit.
VOTE FOR SANITY...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Americans First-3238795
Obviously you didn't read the article. Just about says it all about your post.
Hey Russians First, let me guess you think you're smart.
Reb -- And the song MONEY GRABBER comes to mind thinking of ROMNEY.
Dont_carry_it_all
I don't believe that was playing. In any event don't think of him. I'm sure your nasty thoughts won't be missed
Romney's theme song is Gold Finger.
He's the man, the with the Midas touch. His heart is cold.
or for Obama Been Caught stealing?
I thought MONEY FOR NOTHING was about Mitt Romney - He gets a lot of MONEY every year, and pays NOTHING in taxes.
Or it could be about the "lost years" at Bain, when he received MONEY from Bain every year while he claimed to have NOTHING to do with their decisions.
Hopefully it will be about all those billionaires who tried to buy an election with their Super PAC donations - all that MONEY and NOTHING to show for it in November!
Caesar - or for Obama Been Caught stealing? So, according to you it's just put down any kind of nonsensical lie and you'll get some low information far righter to vote for Romney? That's about all you'll get.
You just look more desperate daily but, if all I had running was Romney, I'd probably be desperate too. No, actually, I wouldn't. I'd vote for someone else!
Obama/Biden 2012
With a War on Women, a War on Minorities, a War on the Old, a War on Science, now, the Party of No is waging War on the Middle Class.
RomneyHood would raise Middle Class taxes by $2000 and give huge tax cuts to the already rich.
Romney administration. Somebody is counting their chickens before they hatch.

Pawlenty laughs off Romney as Clown !!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.nowpublic.com/health/mitt-romney-s-abortion-busin...
Truth is stranger than fiction. You can’t make this stuff up because nobody would believe you. Mitt Romney’s business record is his chief qualification to be President, he says. Did you know that Mitt Romney’s business was the abortion business, from which he made $50 Million burning aborted fetuses through his company Stericycle?
When Mitt Romney was sworn in as Governor of Massachusetts on Jan. 2, 2003 he was Pro Choice. Mitt Romney was so pro choice that he was in the abortion business. Did Mitt Romney campaign when he ran for Governor that his chief qualification to be Governor of Massachusetts was that he was the owner of the largest aborted fetus incineration company in the United States of America? Mitt Romney’s Romneycare, the blueprint for Obamacare provided tax payer funding for abortions, which Obamacare does not. Mitt Romney introduced Romneycare to get the taxpayers to pay him personally as the owner of Stericylce to burn aborted fetuses.

Well Timmy Pawlenty, Willard might not have room for you in his cabinet but I'm sure he can find some space for you in his silverware drawer.
Hey, I'm pretty sure "Secretary of Apple-Polishing Sycophants" will still be available.....
CNN's story says the name of the cabinet company was "Accurate Woodworking". I'll forego the lame and obvious jokes about Pawlenty and wood in favor of observing that this is probably the closest brush with anything "accurate" as the Romney campaign is liable to get this year.....
Good one!
I agree, Romney should try to be less "Wooden" and more "Accurate"!
But where will they put Newt and Jindal? The Secretary of the Ass Kissing Minions? or Maybe the Secretary of Out Sourcing?
I'm sure Jindal would be happy in Willard's sand box as he can practice building sand castles there.
Romney created more net new jobs in his time at Bain than Obama has created during his entire presidency... Staples 90,000 jobs, Sports Authority 15,500 jobs, Dominoes Pizza 175,000 jobs...
Obama imported 1,800,000 illegal job seekers! How does that help Union labor jobs? How does this help middle class America?
Wake Up America! This president doesn't care about middle class America, he cares about getting re-elected, period!!!
Newt can go in Willard's pond along with all the other frogs, toads, and salamanders.
PS Daniel, those mimimum wage jobs that were created at Bain happened after February 1999 when Willard insists that he no longer had anything to do with Bain. Love to see you righties have things both ways now,
Daniel - I'm going to try to put this in very simple works so you might understand it. I know chances are slim but let's give it a try. Illegals have been here for DECADES! Remember, your Ronald Reagan gave a large number of them amnesty.
Bush did nothing about them - hard to when they work your ranch. Neither did any other President until President Obama. He gave the children a path to becoming a citizen. Many illegals have served honorably in our military. Many have died. Serving gives them a path to becoming a citizen. For the others, they have to work hard, pay taxes, etc., to become citizens.
See, they didn't just SHOW UP during the past 3 1/2 years. I know that is hard for you to grasp but it's true.
Obama/Biden 2012
Oh my God,,, so many VP candidates,,,so little talent. Obama in a landslide 2012.
This rightwing victim complex and the myth about religious freedoms being attacked goes back to prayer in school, teaching creationism, etc. Look at them pushing vouchers like Jindal to get YOUR tax dollars to pay for Flat Earth Society textbooks.
The bottom line is Teavangelicals thinks that Separation of Church and State is an attack on religious freedoms. They think using public funds and facilities like public schools or court houses or even the currency to favor the Christian faith is hunky-dorey.
This false belief fuels the anti-intellectualism movement, and anti-science such as evolution and climate change. They think no Christian prayer in public financed (State) institutions means the public square has been closed to them -- But the truth is they can practice their religion all they want whether preaching from a street corner, praying in public on their own, and certainly complete freedom to go to church and do anything that is not illegal.
Not abiding by labor laws and providing contraception per health insurance is illegal (along with animal sacrifice, polygamy, etc.), and especially when in business like hospitals, universities, etc. with employees of different faith or no faith -- And as if being tax exempt for all that profit isn't enough of a break.
The victim crap is so old and tiring, and the work-around like vouchers so despicable, what these delusional fundamentalists deserve is a real war against their tax exemptions and we'll see how they like that. They would do well to STFU and slink away into the shadows with their government give-a-ways.
Picking TIMMY PAWLENTY as his VP will seal the failure that has been the "Bishop Willard please like me I'm rich tour"
It will suck any momentum out of his campaign faster than releasing his TAX STATEMENTS .
TIMMY, whose face visibly tightens when he hears THAT name, has exactly 2 functions historically...
1 - Kicking the can down the road as a lame duck
2 - claiming success for solving a problem BY denying he kicked the can .
Bishop Willard would do far better by picking Christine O'Donnell or Quiter Palin... even Joe Lieberman would be better... but Bishop Willard is BOUND & DETERMINED to drive this campaign into the ground so deep that the GOP/TP is irreparable .
Look what he has done to fracture the party thus far...
Fox digs on his mistakes & flip-flops
50% of the base calls him a RINO
and already there is deep grumbling about not want to vote when there is no choice by the rank & file GOP stalwarts...
FOX isn't even allowing any more political reader comments because the support just isn't there any more .
THE GOP HAS FAILED OUR COUNTRY AGAIN...no viable candidate, no new options, no OTHER choice equal or better than the present POTUS....nada nothing !
Is it the Kool-Aid or the Meds ?
Romney is not worthy of a dog catcher, hope the GOP dumps this Clown at the Convention !!!!!
T-Paw did nothing for his eight years in office except shift $4 billion dollars from our public schools to pay for his deficits. Now our schools credit is trashed to the point where National Instrument wouldn't even front me a $100 robotics controller for our robotics team.
Sounds like a great pick for the GNOP!
Mittens T-Paw 2012! We know how to run states into the ground!
then you think he would have a place in Obamas cabinet Dylan
Well, he was all for renewables before he was against it.
oh, don't forget his signature accomplishment... wake from his daze to see the idiot Lt. Gov/Highway Commissioner let a bridge fall in rush hour, 13 dead. Tim Tim Tumbling Bridges. yeah, he's a lock in a GOP administration. the empty suit that stands by itself, that's ol' Trub.
swschrad,
Oh ,I forgot about T-Paw"s great idea to save money. Have his LT governor also be the Commissioner of Transportation.
Saved one salary but lost a bridge and lost lives.
Maybe Romney can make T-Paw his VP and also have him run the DoJ(he is a lawyer), DOD, or DOT.....
Looks like Romney's VP pick is going to be Bachmann, two peas in a pot !!!
Dylan, I have often thought the slogan for a Romney/Pawlenty ticket would be: We sucked as governors, and together we can really suck in the White House.
Or Romney/Portman would be: Dubya Rises -- on steroids, but really boring. You've seen this movie before.
Or Romney/Ryan would be: The immoral duo, who will fight compassionate conservatism with every drop of blood from your cold dead bodies.
Headline: Pawlenty laughs off questions about spot in Romney cabinet
Well, he wasn't the only one laughing!!!
Darn, what is the mystery, pick someone Willard so we can send you home. The President has work to do. Needs to get the Speaker of the House busy doing something beside tanning hisself and drinking.
hey, the Squeaker of the Soused can't make a deal, the Teapubs sell him out and mock him every time. most thankless job since Limbaugh hired a fact checker.
hisself? Wow. Anyway you want to go back to Botox, drinking, and flying? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I see the little grandmother scares you.
If you were to give Willard Romney an enema he would be able to fit in a match box.
Maybe that's where his tax returns are hiding?
If you gave Obama one he would be clinically brain dead. Or as smart as his followers.
rukidding47....... your comment lacks humor, wit, effectiveness and tact. Reminds me of your boy Flip Flopney and his gold-collared monkey clan.
What's nice to know is that the GOP has such proven track record for picking absolute clowns to fill out the ticket. I expect nothing short of that this time around.
tea.
Your lack of a good reply just proves my point about the mindless that support your boy for President. The utterly worst President on record and you pathetic sheep follow along. The track record is the dems couldn't find one better in their party to replace the class clown in office now. How truly dysfunctional the DNC has become.
Smart as his followers?
My president is fighting to increase his own taxes for a better America for us all.
Romney is already paying half the percentage in taxes as the rest of us and is fighting to decrease his own taxes no matter how many children starve or how many veterans have to do without care or how much he increases the deficit.
So do the smart people vote for a better America for us all with President Obama or do we vote against the American people with Romney the tax return hiding cheat?
If the republicans had a real man running for president, he would have already released his tax returns. Instead they have Mitt the twit.
Romney created more net new jobs in his time at Bain than Obama has created during his entire presidency... Staples 90,000 jobs, Sports Authority 15,500 jobs, Dominoes Pizza 175,000 jobs...
Obama imported 1,800,000 illegal job seekers! How does that help Union labor jobs? How does this help middle class America?
Wake Up America! This president doesn't care about middle class America, he cares about getting re-elected, period!!!
That's highly debatable, but only with open minded individuals. See people like you have been led to believe a whopping recession that took twenty years in the making should have been cleaned up in less than three years. Setting the bar kinda high in my opinion.
It's obvious you have bought into the special interest media machine led by Rush, Hannity and the Daytime Trio Fox & Fiends. I'm willing to bet if those silly e-circulars you receive from Team Romney and ERIC CANT(or won't compromise) told you a chair was a hat, you'd be wearing one tomorrow in Times Square. Congrats on the brainwashing, it's
verybecoming.... very old.Oh and additionally, I appreciate the flattery. Not only did you recycle the original joke of this post, but you couldn't even find a thesaurus for the word clown. Typical lazy republicans. Maybe your bowl of alphabits will give you your next talking point tomorrow morning.......
Actually, Romney created record jobs for China and India.
Obama – Biden 2012 - Still Cleaning Up Bush’s Mess!!!
rukidding - and yet all would still be smarter than Romney and HIS supporters!
Obama/Biden 2012
TEA
The original joke was lame and stupid much like the author
of it. I changed it to make a point that your guy has Shi$ for brains as well
as his followers. Your mindless responses only proved my point about the
ignorance of the Democrats who follow the worst President ever.
SS
Your guy has had the job for over three years and is still not qualified to do it.
A felon in Prison got more votes than he did in one election. What part of this do you not understand?
The facts of the 2008 election show that he was the favorite of Exxon, Chevron, and BP. Exxon donated $117,946 to Obama and $73,326 to McCain. Chevron pumped $77,875 into Obama's warchest and $61,313 to McCain. BP gave $71,051 to Obama but just $36,649 to McCain
Now Pawlenty is mocking the british.
Yes because being the VP or a cabinet post nominee in the Mittens administration is akin to getting a free ticket on the Titanic.
Click on the link below for an unOfficial photo of Mitt Romney's running mate, Paris Hilton, with a Special campaign message just for YOU!!!
http://www.oneangryman.com/ken/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Paris-Eat-the-Rich.jpg
Bwucie, Paris is a democrat-communist. And so are you. Get a job slug!
It's so funny that anyone that disagrees with the right wing, according to them, doesn't have a job. That means that those 68,000,000 voters that voted for Obama don't have jobs.
I wonder how that explains that in my city, Obama polls at 64%, favorable, and the unemployment rate is 6.1 percent?
Again we never accused the right wing of being the smart ones. Most likely many of them need jobs.
With the rest of Romney's Hummel figurine collection to be dusted off from time to time?
Fisty the Red Commie posted first again. Do you have a job fisty. NO. She is a professional ultra large welfare queen. Winks and nods slug!
It is funny thinking Pawlenty might make a good cabinet member. What exactly would he be secretary of? He real has no talents or education for running any department, unless they create a Department of Hockey.
Sounds like a candidate for President on the Democrats side.
J M how about a dept of silly lie's
How about
for the
as the
...more like the Secretary of HOCKEY PUCKS
(with apologies to Don Rickles)
Willard/$arah 2012!!!
MSNBC- Wow! What a blatant slant of this news story! The headline from the Home page is titled "Pawlenty laughs at idea of being in Romney cabinet", possibly leading readers to think he thinks its laughable to think he would even consider that! But then when you click on that headline, the actual headline is more true to the story, which is "Pawlenty laughs off questions about spot in Romney cabinet". Is that what you have to do at MSNBC to get your audience to read a news story?
"It would be presumptuous and premature for people to be talking about positions down the road" No what is hilarious is the republicans remotely thinking about The Village Idiot Romney getting elected POTUS. There might be a dogcatcher job available in one of the countries where he has his money being laundered. One thing the LIAR RobUS Romney should do is show the TAX returns he is hiding from the citizens of the USA. Oh well, what the hell, he has no chance of winning anyway.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Rasmussen has Romney back on top today 47% to 43%, among likely voters!
Maybe Romney will let Obama stay and clean toilets?
hahahahahahahahahaha!
And just for the record, Romney HAS shown the tax records that are required to be shown. As for the rest, why would he show them so that the left wing media can pick them apart, put a bunch of fancy wording misconstruing the truth and have mindless idiots like you believe everything they say?
ohiomommy - Romney has not shown even one full year of tax returns. And, when McCain received all of Romney's tax records (that he's NOT making available now) he picked Sarah Palin!
Now, mindless idiot - yes you - try again but find something that is actually TRUE this time!
Obama/Biden 2012
Rasmussen isn't reliable AT ALL. And, the final marker is the Electoral College which is now projected to be Obama by 303 over 241.
Read 'em and weep!
Obama/Biden 2012
Sanity- Romney has released his 2010 tax returns and an estimated 2011 tax return, and last I checked 2010 was a WHOLE year, was it not? And where is your proof that when McCain saw Romney's tax returns he chose Sarah Palin? Are you really mindless enough to think THAT is the reason he chose Palin? (And I will note, I'm not sure WHY in the world he made that decision either, besides just to have a woman on the ticket) So, again, who is the mindless idiot? YOU try finding something that is actually TRUE!!
ohiomommy - he did NOT release a full year of taxes for 2010. An estimate of 2011 is NOT a federal tax return. An estimate is JUST that and can be drastically changed when the filing is actually made.
You are totally absurd. Where have you been for the last 4 years? McCain admits he saw 12 years of Romney's returns. Who did he choose for his running mate? NOW do you get it????
Your truly are a mindless dolt!
Obama/Biden 2012
BECAUSE THE GOP ASSUMES AMERICA BECOMES DUMBER WITH EACH PASSING YEAR... which is also the reason McCain , a WAR HERO, could not beat a Communist for Kenya in a free & fair AMERICAN ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT...not even with a pretty hooker as his VP !
Mister Fids - Again with the communist for Kenya stupidity. What rock did you crawl out from under????
Romney created more net new jobs in his time at Bain than Obama has created during his entire presidency... Staples 90,000 jobs, Sports Authority 15,500 jobs, Dominoes Pizza 175,000 jobs...
Obama imported 1,800,000 illegal job seekers! How does that help Union labor jobs? How does this help middle class America?
Wake Up America! This president doesn't care about middle class America, he cares about getting re-elected, period!!!
Romney 2012!!! Yeah Baby!!!
Yah but, some of the failing companies that Romney's company tried to rescue still failed...
...obviously he doesn't care about the children and people dying and
...capitalism is evil.
...when failing companies fail, capitalism is evil. And we need the government to just take over and institute socialism. We'll be poorer yes, but more equally poor. The lazy and the hard-working, the talented and the less talented, will make the same pay.
Where have I seen this before?
I want to know just exactly how did President Obama import 1,800,000 illegal job seekers by himself? Did he dig a tunnel, did he drive down and pick them up?
Being that the republicans are trying to kill unions anyway, why do you care?
President Obama is fighting to increase his own taxes for a better America for us all. Wow how anti American!!!!!!!!!!
To prove you care about the middle class I guess you have to vote like the republicans in congress just did to keep the special tax cuts for the big corporations that pay them for moving American jobs overseas.
I would have to be real dumb to think the republicans cared about jobs or America.
In this instance "caring about jobs" in the leftwing sense means doing anti-jobs legislation like raising taxes on their bosses, vilifying businesses constantly, making it extremely expensive to do business here, etc etc;.
It's well known, for instance, that if your boss makes less after taxes in profit, he's more likely to give you a raise...at least according to leftwingers.
Hey! This year I'm only going to make 150K profit after taxes instead of 200K...now I'm REALLY going to raise wages and hire more people!
--Leftwingers really show their heart on illegal immigration though. Since no white or black Americans ever work any construction jobs or landscaping or food service or on low-level factory lines...clearly it helps the American worker a lot to have illegals come in and do all that instead. Who wants a high-wage construction job? Why would anyone want that? Give it to the illegals and just pay them $8/hr. Lefties really really "care about US jobs".
ChestyPuller - you mean like the Jobs Bill President Obama sent to Congress that the GOP tabled that would give tax breaks to companies that bring jobs back to the US and would tax companies that outsource jobs more? Didn't think so!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yah the Jobs Bills...they were called "Jobs Bills" so they must be the best way to create jobs in the US economy right? You'd think...right?
We should pass a Everybody Becomes Rich and Happy bill so that way everyone could become rich and happy. Problem Solved.
What's weird is that we're still having this conversation years and years after the Democrats' Super-Duper Awesome Stimulus solved everything. Let's just keep trying it again and again, to show we care.
Chesty - if the GOP hadn't blocked it each time - we WOULD have more jobs - you know the things the Republicans ran on in 2010 then quickly forgot in their efforts to make Obama a one-term President? Where is your anger with the GOP???
Obama/Biden 2012
Sanity- Where was this Jobs Bill for the first two years of his Presidency?? Maybe if he had worried less about bribing votes and shoving the health care act that the majority of Americans didn't want down our throats then he should have had NO problems getting his Jobs Bill passed!!! Where is your anger with the Democrats?!?!?
Sanity, you couldn't be more right...though we're all shocked that the stimulus didn't solve everything, as we expected...if you call something a Jobs Bill that means it is the best way to create jobs in the economy...clearly.
I know! They should pass a 4% unemployment bill and then we'd have 4% unemployment. I doubt it would cost more than a few trillion, which we have lying around.
If only we could pass a Fix Everything bill.
ohiomommy -(I pity your children for having such a moron as their mother). He proposed a jobs bill every year he has been in office. The GOP has refused to act on it. He has not EVER bribed anyone for votes. Please cite your source for your lie.
Chesty - your post is just totally stupid and says nothing. My guess - you're married to ohiomommy!
Obama/Biden 2012
Pass a "Sanity Bill", and then you can find what you seek.
I'm sure Ohio Mommy is very cute, but someone else made her a mommy, I was not involved.
...Darn, if she goes by Mommy, then her kids are probably still too young to vote, and we need all the RW votes we can get this fall in Ohio.
OhioMommy...we're counting on you, baby!
PS: If you can throw Far Left senator Sheldon Brown into the gutter and elect Mandel that means twice as much to me as electing MR
Chesty - as I always say, I'm seeking sanity in the GOP but as you and ohiomommy3 keep proving - there is absolutely NO sanity in the GOP - just gutter trash!
Obama/Biden 2012
Old Danny Boy says
Romney created more net new jobs in his time at Bain
Well Danny Boy, there is at least one REPUBLICAN who would disagree with you...
That's What We Like to See!
After a week of bad polls for Romney, even amongst likely voter surveys, and including Rasmussen, which had the President leading the last few times.....
Rasmussen has Romney back on top today 47% to 43%, among likely voters.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
BTW
Well http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ gives
the election over
and that is up from 70.2% when I checked 2 days ago.
“Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles (Flip Flopper) who is not only becoming less electable; he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate… Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis…”
~George Will, blasting Romney’s flip flopping, Washington Post, October 2011
nbc12news.com:
Bob McDonnell continues to be a go-to surrogate and the recent Quinnipiac poll could provide more proof that he would be a quality running mate for Romney.
Among Virginia independent voters, Quinnipiac found that McDonnell enjoys a 36 point net positive approval rating. Female voters in Virginia, which is considered to be a weakness for Romney, approve of McDonnell 8 points higher than even President Obama. (So those nasty "Vaginal probe" attacks were less than worthless and backfired...)
And the poll revealed that 44% of Virginia republicans are more excited to vote than in 2008, while only 33% of democrats are looking forward to getting to the polls.
An analysis of McDonnell's poll numbers by the respected New York Times pollster Nate Silver revealed that McDonnell has the second best chance of any V.P. prospect to improve Romney's chances of winning.
I refuse to believe it Bob! Women are supposed to be stupid and easily led around by the nose with a few slogans about the War on Women and the equating of the single issue of abortion with all of women's health. (If you're for abortion anytime someone wants it you care about women's health, if you're against it, you hate women's health...obviously).
If what you're saying's true...why, why, even the Georgetown University student anti-contraceptive scandal might not have mattered to women very much. And that was HUGE--the gall of Catholics thinking they can not provide contraception at their own institutions. Where do they come off?
So another misleading made up article by MSNBC (alias NBC) to try and further demean the Republican ticket. Exactly how can you get a headline from this article or what happened that says Pawlenty laughs off being in Romney's cabinet. MSNBC take your blatant pandering and biased to a Obama official reelection web site and quit pretending that you are news, have an journalistic ethics or skills.
You have Fix News We Have MSNBC, CNN, CBS and anyone other than the I hate President Obama talking heads
I live in Eric Cantors district and we hate him as much as you hate President Obama.
Solutions;: Your name is a misnomer as you really offer no solutions, just hate. I was speaking here about journalistic responsibility and ethics. MSNBC has none. I do not listen to Fox news as we don't have it up here and I never go on there web page. So first off you are dead wrong. Also to say I hate someone when you have no basis for that is actually hate speech in itself. All you need to do is look at where the US is now financially and ethically and morally and you can see that Mr. Obama is not helping any, the saviour (Obama) will need to be saved himself.
jj
don't you have some important things to deal with in Canada....track down some missing Moose or pay attention to your own problems?
btw - explain to everyone why you can't get FOX in Canada?
*Doesn't it have to do with their "lack of truth" in their broadcasts and in Canada "reporters" can be held liable for airing false stories?
Thank you!! Let us deal with the issues here in the good ole US of A!
B dune you are an ignorant hater also. I don't get fox because I choose not to have TV. To try and impugn someone just because they are in Canada is even more ignorant. Yes we do have moose her and deer and bears in our backyards. But we have fresh air, beautiful views, all the fresh from the sky water you could want and a Conservative government that has made Canada the envy of the G8. So if you really want to look (my guess you dont even know where Canada is, or any of the Provinces or anything about us) you will see a country way better off than your partially because of your so called leader and partially because of people like you.
You know nothing of our laws (probably yours either) you obviously no nothing about your constitution or the intents of your founding fathers.
And finally to highlight your ignorance "eh" is spelled "eh" no "A".
So come back and talk to me when you are anywhere close to being as good as Canada.
b Dune, hey dumb-dumb that's a leftwing myth...Fox is not banned in Canada, that originated with a liberal joke based on Canada's standards in a law they passed regulating journalism.
Good to see that left wing sheep get the same type of Forwarded Email lies that right wing sheep get. Yes, i admit some RW'ers are sheep, like lefties, but their heart is in the right place.
jj canada
U S of A....A as in America..... not.......A as in ah or eh?
I wouldn't spend to much time lecturing people - charity begins at home!
guess that closes this chapter of lessons from the Great North!
btw - can you tell me about the "great migration from the US to Canada"....I mean since the Viet Nam War?
If we become Socialist or completely fail financially, it will affect Canada. Anyone has a right to express their concern.
hey beav...
if JJ had said Romney was a POS you would have been on here telling him and Canada to mind his/their own damn business...
good grief....save the feigned outrage for those who have never read your posts before!
btw - if we become "socialistic" will Canada be forced to have Socialized Medicine....oh wait!
B dube= no substantive reason, hate full presumptions and ignorance of the North.
Also my family and kids at home were taught to work, respect themselves and others and take care of themselves so that they would not need your socialist charity.
Also the US is not America it is the United States of America. Canada is also in the continent of America as well as Mexico. Ignorance of outside your borfers is what has got you in trouble. Hey take a look at the Dollars Canada is woth more than yours. Ten years ago we were at 60 cents. Now tell me o great US Wizard, why is that?
For your information surveys have shown that more people from outside North America would rather choose Canada first. We are not leaving here to go there.! More wrong assumptions based on ignorance of the facts.
jj
Did I not say once, twice...THe US of A....which is the United States of America?
Learn to read - it was in Eglish not French!
As for the $
Jan 18/2002 $1.00 US got one $1.672 Canadian
Nov 6 2007 $1.00 US got one $ .9215 Canadian
Aug 9 2012 $1.00 US gets one $1.008 Canadian
Thanks for showing the decline of the US Dollar in Canada was the responsibility of the previous administration.
Thanks for showing the value of the US Dollar vs Canadian has increased during current administration.
You asked why the $.60 drop....guess you will need to check with the previous administration...../nice try though!
btw - Tell me Wizard....what is worth more today US or Canadian $
Thanks for your assistance
Thanks for asking about the dollar here is the last 90 days.
http://www.oanda.com/currency/historical-rates/
May 1 2012 US was par with Canadian. Canadian was above the us dollar until just yesterday. Oh and that differance and a $1.00 will still only buy you a $1.00 cup of coffe so what is your point. Divide your penny into 100 peices and you will have 34 extra peices.
My point being was this, since you so aptly missed it. Your fiscal policies and debt vs. ours have made our dollar sail upwards in the last 10 years. All this while you worry about partisan politics. Our dollar would be worth about 1.10 if our Government let it. It hurts our manufacturing becuase most of our stuff goes to the US. We buy US dollars to keep our from going to high. My guess is that once we start selling more raw materials to China and become less dependant than we will be at the 1.25 rate in 10-20 years while your stimulas spending and money printing come home to roost. You are just like your President Obam has had four years and he is still blaming everything on Bush. Now thats "Hope and Change" for you. You can Hope thingsd Change or you can make things change. that used to be the way of the US of A. Sorry to say those days are gone. It is all talk and phys-co-babble.
Now maybe Canadians dont seem so dumb. EH!!
We try for a weaker dollar. The same reason our Northern neighbors like shopping in the South.
Who's money I am glad you think that way. I hope you are kidding, but if not: there are 16 trillion reasons why your dollar is so weak. The Fed on the administrations lead just keeps printing more. Just think what it would be valued at if the European ways had not come back to haunt them and make them all insolvent. A strong Euro would have displaced the dollar. Now the Chinese money may or an amalgamation of the only good ones left. You think you got problems now wait till the US has to pay for oil in another currency. Instant chaos and revolution in the US.
By the way we don't go south that much anymore to much trouble. The cheapest electronic equipment in the developed world ie: computers and such is in Canada. Come North and try it don't just believe everything your think.
The music? How about the soundtrack to Dumb & Dumber.
FOX,MSNBC who carea? You are going to believe the one you have more faith in. Or that agrees with your political outlook. As for me, I believe in the Meadow and Flamingo Parties. No hate allowed there.
I consider that a good sign that the press thinks Romney will be president especially so much so that they think Romney should already to selecting his cabinet. Frankly I was looking at the same thing. I sure hope Pawlenty gets the VP spot and then Rubio can get a head cabinet spot that may lead him into a VP spot for the next new presidential after Romeny serves two terms. I hope this is all according to a succession plan based on recruiting new candidates for the long term. This country needs a long term plan.
Who are you getting the free dope from ?
You have an active imagination & your fantasy world is no doubt wonderful...
what I want to know is
are you going to be HERE & take responsibility for your own words
after Bishop Willard FAILS worse than Johnny War Hero & his cute Hooker ?
Will you be a QUITER like PALIN
or are you a cut & run conservative like the Bush family ?
I honestly don't know much about Pawlenty, but enough to know I wouldn't want him in any position that could result in him becoming POTUS. I watched him being interviewed on MSNBC a little over a year ago I think. It was soon after Congresswoman Giffords was shot and all the backlash against Sarah Palin's use of bullseyes on members of Congress who needed to be removed from office. When asked about Palin's tactics all Pawlenty could say was that it's not the method he would have used. Even after a US representative had been shot and almost killed Pawlenty couldn't condemn something like this as wrong. What a spineless creature. He should slither back into the muck he came from.
