Meet Chris Christie, same old social darwinism:

We are the Party of the Super-Rich.

Translation:

If you made it up to the $$Top Tier with us - you deserve to be here.

If you didn't make it where we are, you are a moocher.

And it is entirely your fault for being where you are.

And because you are not up here where we are, will make it harder for you.

I love Feisty - 'America recognizes...'

Anyone care to tell the old gal that Obama is either tied or LOSING?

Too damn funny.

Next up is a lecture on civility.

Well actually Spanky Obama is either tied or winning in the national polls and has a lead just above or well above the margin of error in all the important swing states that Romney has to virtually sweep to get to 270 electoral votes. So I will ask the same question of you. If Obama is so terrible and Romney so great why is this not a complete blowout in Romney's favor?

Blueberry pancakes and rib eye steaks. Sounds very middle class America doesn't it?

I can just hear the GOP'ers as they whisper to each other that once they are out of sight of the public eye they'll go somewhere to enjoy 2lb lobsters, 20oz fillet Mignon's, caviar by the gallon and Dom Perignon by the barrel.

All will be served to them by a bunch of idiots who voted for them believing that they to could be wealthy and live the life of the ubber wealthy as the GOP'ers do. And all the while the elitist sitting at the table will smile, nod and then laugh like hell when the server is gone.

Class envy...gee, how original.

Sameo, it sounds like you are describing Empress Michelle and her penchant for lobsters, caviar, etc.

Willard seemed to be in a daze last evening.

He was flanked by Queen Ann and Condi....they stood and applauded for Gov Bully.....Willard refused to stand, even after Queen Ann seemed to be encouraging him to do so. She was not happy with his obstinance!....He just sat there!

O&Joe 2012

I see no one wants to talk about dissention in the Republican ranks. Party leaders decided to make the GOP just a bit more top-down and quite a bit less democratic than before...which fits entirely into their authoritarian mindset.

When loud booing broke out on the Republican National Convention floor in Tampa on Tuesday, it wasn’t just coming from die-hard Ron Paul supporters. An obscure change to party rules exposed a larger rift between Mitt Romney’s Republican establishment and the GOP grassroots. “Our party is a grassroots party and not a top-down party,” says Julianne Thompson, a Romney delegate and Georgia state coordinator for Tea Party Patriots. “Both of these rules undermine the very nature and the spirit of our party.” Republican officials from Nevada called it a “Marxist-style power grab.” Writing on Facebook, Sarah Palin called it “a direct attack on grassroots activists by the GOP establishment, and it must be rejected.” This was probably not the way the Romney team wanted the convention to begin.

The controversy is rooted in the battle between Romney and Paul, who still has plenty of devoted fans in Tampa. Because of quirks in the way delegates are chosen, Paulites were able, through their superior organization, to dominate the selection process in several states that Paul didn’t win, including Maine and Minnesota. There’s been a protracted fight over seating these delegates—on Tuesday, after the party stripped Paul of half of his 20 delegates from Maine, part of that delegation walked out.

In an effort to get more control over the delegate-selection process in the future, Romney’s people overstepped in a way that infuriated many conventiongoers who are otherwise supporting him. Yesterday, the Republican National Committee proposed a new rule that would allow the party’s nominee to overrule state conventions and choose his or her own delegates. This, many feared, would turn delegate slots into perks for insiders and donors, and further shut activists out of the process. The reaction was livid. In a widely circulated open letter to the Republican National Committee, Thompson wrote, “The audacity of creating a firestorm when there is an opportunity for unity and peace that is needed to win back the Senate and take back the White House is irresponsible and I seriously question the motives of those behind this attempt.”

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/08/29/rules-change-sparks-grassroots-boos-at-gop-convention.html

So much for the concept that the Tea Party has turned the GOP into a grass roots, led from the bottom organization. Oh, and if you think this is a phony controversy, a creation of the "liberal media" you weren't listening to Mark Levin last night. I was. He was livid. He quoted Michelle Malkin. She was livid. His special guest was Princess Dumb@$$ of the Northwoods herself. She was livid.

Congratulations Tea Partiers, Libertarians, and Social Conservatives. You just learned that you're no one special, just some of "those people" Ann Romney speaks of so derisively.

Ha Romney might have been served well by trying some community organizing at some point in his life, then he may lot be losing in every demographic but older white males. Lots of other voters out there in those communities, maybe it's not too late for Mitt to hang out with them and see if there is anything he can personally do for them.

Caesar -

But Mitt dresses at COstco, really - Ann said he just bought a three-pack of shirts, and they ironed up real nice!

I will take Michelle Obama over some finger-wagging scold trying to tell me how to raise my "boys".

Number one, I teach my son to tell the truth, apparently neither she nor Mitt learned that lession. The fact-checkers went into a coma trying to add up all the lies presented last night.

A few questions:

Will Paul Ryan point up to the big fancy debt clock tonight and say "I built that"?

Will they have a special presentation tonight or tomorrow where the debt numbers speed up dramatically to show the impact of the Romney/Ryan budget?

Will the theme of the Democratic Convention be "We Don't Like To Fire People", or "We Promise Two Cadillacs in Every Elevator"?

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

Mitt ROmney - "Big business is doing fine..."

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

More like oil & vinegar!

First we were subjected to a woman who even with all of her money cannot buy herself some warmth and charisma!

HAHAHAH!!!!

Yeah... this coming from the queen of warmth and charisma!

WHAT A PATHETIC JOKE!

(clown noses... get your clown noses... :O)

Forrest?

Obama is the incumbent who should be way ahead, particularly given Mitt is a dog killing felon.

See Forrest, the polls are tied, but the polls all over sample dems by at least 6 points and in some cases, 19.

No Forrest - reverse you question and answer it.

See, O shot his ad. wad, and has tried to paint Mitt as a bad guy all summer. Mitt is about to unload all over Obama [nice image, eh?].

Besides - new jobs and economic numbers out next week. And for an added bonus gas will hit a historic high for Labor day.

Hope and Change my man, hope and change.

CA - It doesn't matter where you buy something - it's how you wear it. But, you wouldn't understand that!

Obama/Biden 2012

seeking had a nugget of truth. So you are fine with Ann Romney then? besides i'd like to see Michelle wearing that Target dress but we both know she doesnt. Quit pontificating

Spanky -

How far ahead was Bush in August of 2004? Oh that's right, he was five points behind Kerry until the Swift Boat ads......but Bush was the incumbent and should have been far ahead, and all of the the independents should have swung for Kerry.... there's no way Bush could have won...

Electoral College, my man, electoral college.

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

I thought they did an excellent job, and I was glad they didn't waste time on bashing Obama. As far as Ann Romney, little nervous in the beginning, but got her message out.

FYI, that red dress, was to die for.

CA - I never put Anne Romney down for what she was wearing. It was a beautiful dress. I don't like the woman and certainly can't stomach her views - which are radically right.

Michelle Obama has worn items from Target and J Crew and looked beautiful in them.

Again, it's not where you buy it or how much you pay -it's how you wear it! Class will always show!

Obama/Biden 2012

"See, O shot his ad. wad, and has tried to paint Mitt as a bad guy all summer."

Spanky, Republicans have hammered on Obama for 3 and a half years, and Romney has already spent 1 billion on negative adds, what else can they say that has not been said, to the point of nobody even hears it anymore except for the people that have been in that camp all along. Republicans spent so much effort on ridiculous things like birth certificates, they discredited themselves, now even if they have legitimate criticisms, it largely falls on deaf ears, you know the old boy cried wolf thing. I also sense that republicans and there total allegiance to the oil industry will cause high gas prices to be least a big of a problem to them as it might be for the president. Romney has changed position on every single issue and that is very well documented, this should make the debates absolutely brutal for him, I know I could debate him and make him look like a fool with his own words, that is never hard to do with somebody who changes their story as much as he does is it. Lastly there is this little matter of him "taking the fifth" on his tax returns, what is it you always say about people who feel the need to "take the fifth". He will be twisted like a pretzel in the debates, he has said anything and everything, and he will not be able to sensibly reconcile that now will he.

Bottom-line is that he trails big time in every demographic but one, and those people are not polled as likely voters, or registered democrats, they are seldom polled at all, if they show up to vote on election day, Romney will never get the electoral votes he needs.

which are radically right.

no duh you prefer radically wrong. As for Michelle wearing Target dresses, yeah forgive me i dont buy it.

Anyone who wags their finger at me loses their finger and maybe even half the hand. What gestures reveal about people is amazing. Ann Romney seems to think she and her husband are so much better than anyone else. This is not a kinddom but a constitutional republic and a democracy, dear Anne. Your sociopathic husband is not the end all and be all of the world. It shouldn't be all about him but about how he is going to humbly do his job to help the people of this country live better. Sociopath Mitt only cares if HE lives better not about anyone else.

The same way I dont buy that Mitt wears shirts or anything else from Costco. Now that that foolishness is out of the way, question: will we ever hear the vaunted Romney plans for fixing the economy? And please dont give us the tax cuts for all BS...

Forrest - 'Trails Badly'?

Dude - the polls are at best tied for the guy.

Or is that one 'demographic' just that HUGE?

So Forrest - how about those jobs numbers and gas prices?

Sorry, but Obama has hammered Obama.

During the closing minutes of Andrea Mitchell's inteview with Marco Rubio today at noonish, Rubio stated that 'the last time we(the Repubs) were in power, we didn't do so well' - the understatement of this campaign, but at least Rubio admitted it. Rubio went on to say that now that the Repubs were united under Romney, they(the repubs), deserved another chance. Really? Another chance for Americans to re-experience the Bush years?

Not on my watch!

It will be interesting to see if Rubio goes there again during his speech.

" As for Michelle wearing Target dresses, yeah forgive me i dont buy it."

We know you don't buy it. But Mrs. Obama apparently does. Here, take your pick:

http://nymag.com/thecut/2011/07/michelle_obamas_dress_yesterda.html

As if watching the Romney baby maker trying out her new red wedding dress wasn't enough last night, we now have to brace ourselves for Ryan's follow up which includes showing us his baby maker balls are man enough to tear down Medicare. Hey Ryan, here's an idea, how about forcing the government into owning up to its responsibility to Medicare. Now that would be showing some gonads.

Adler,

Did you even listen to Ann Romney? Because it sure doesn't sound like it.

"Forrest - 'Trails Badly'?

Dude - the polls are at best tied for the guy."

I will say it again Spanky he trails big time in every demographic but one, and those people are not polled as likely voters, or registered democrats, they are seldom polled at all, if they show up to vote on election day, Romney will never get the electoral votes he needs.

Why isn't Romney walking away with this Spanky, as close as it seems he cannot seem to pull ahead of Obama, you think it will get better for him after the democratic convetion and the debates? Because the things are bad and it is all Obama's fault all day every day is just not quite getting it done for republicans.

How come you never address Romney's "taking the fifth" on his tax returns, I have asked you about that numerous times and you just seem to ignore it, your a lawyer can you explainto me the benefit for Romney of doing that. Why does a great guy like Romney have to "take the fifth" Spanky.

ok Joanne aside from the photo ops. See i can play partisan hack too. Kinda cool eh? So i will now turn it around and say since Michelle buys target dresses, she supports chinese sweat shops.

Did you even listen to Ann Romney?

Yup, and all I got from that elitist she-dog is an illustration of an elitist she-dog in a red dress.

hey RedDev does Fisty change your drawers for you?

RedDev,

People like you are hopeless.

Spanky why does Romney "take the fifth" on his tax returns, are you ever going to address this?

Will republicans ever address this.

Perhaps you are just being lawyerly, since I am sure they teach you to never ask your client a question in front of a jury, when you already know the answer to that question will be a disaster for him.

Now why would I vote for a man to hold the highest office in the land when he chooses to "take the fifth" on his own personal business.

Romney has hammered Romney, he makes it real easy for me not to even consider voting for him.

He might as well just come out and say I can't show my tax returns because it will ruin me, that's what it means when you "take the fifth" we all know that, Spanky sure as hell knows that.

America recognizes phonies when we see them...

As if Barack Obama is "Mr. Authenticity". "We" all recognized him for the fraud that he is, why didn't you?

Tell us exactly how the elected president of the US is a fraud Bitterhawk. Back that nonsense up.

Having met RedDev

I'd say he is FULL of hope.

I believe his main hope, right now, is that R$many and Robin Ryan don't get elected!

I mirror that sentiment!

People like you are hopeless.

Spoken like an Ann Romney 'you people' devotee, with a nose so far up her ass, the sun as no chance of shining. Recognizing a gold digger, whether male or female, from 10 miles away is half the battle. Alerting others is the other half.

Spanky are you gonna "take the fifth" on Romney's taking "taking the fifth" buddy?

RedDev,

Is that the standard insult given when someone might have a different opinion then yours? Last night was the first time I heard her speak. Sorry to disappoint, but I am not a devotee nor do I have my nose up her butt. I am not a worshiping type of person.

Clara,

I get it, Romney & Ryan no good. So why is it necessary to degrade Romney's wife? As a woman don't you find it insulting with his gold digging remark?

I thought the only one taking 'the fifth' these days was Boehner!

I kid.

No, I find Ann R$mney the Victim insulting. I find her comments about women heaving a sigh insulting. If her party would support Lily Ledbetter and Fair Pay standards - women would benefit greatly from economic security that men shouldn't be providing.

I find her constant victimization insulting. I find her demeanor insulting. I find her rhetoric silly. I find their known tax subsidies to be insulting. I find her using MS and Breast Cancer at times of heat from the media insulting. I find her position on women's issues insulting and quite frankly, I find her comment that she advises her husband on these issues down right FRIGHTENING. I don't believe she had a middle class moment raising her five children and I find her down right disingenous in pretending that she 'gets' it. She doesn't or she would stop running to the Victim card every time the media gives her some heat.

I have NEVER heard Michelle Obama make a comment like "It's our turn" or "You people have gotten everything we are legally required to give" or "...Costco..." 27 times in the span of five minutes.

So, sorry, no - I just can't abide the Vagina Voters who think every woman that enters the fray of politics needs to support all women in politics. Not all women are created EQUAL - the subservient ones need to shut up and TAKE the heat if they're going to continue to let the men folk tell them how it is.

Love story, my ass.

I'm glad you asked, though, thanks.

Love story, my ass.

WOW Clara!

Tell us how you really feel? lol

BTW: DITTO what Clara said!

Touche' Clara!!

Great observations Clara. My wife pointed out many of the same and is just as disappointed in Ann as she sets the bar so low for young girls in subservient roles only.

Ann is the epitome of the Stepford wives.

SO Steeler - tell us why a food item comes to mind when YOU think of Christie?

Steeler, are you prejudiced against fat people? Are fat people less valuable as human beings to you?

HOw very progressive of you Steeler.

Why so discriminatory Steeler?

Fat is a regressive state of health and costs the nation billions in healthcare insured or not.

What about that global warming thing Spanky? Alaska is about to open beach front properties in the Arctic.

Gotta love that drill, drill, drill @!$%#, what? Leave the country good and dirty for the grandkids?

got any proof man is causing global warming? hey bcwc, was the world covered in Ice until oil came along? gotta love Al Gore, he invented global warming and the internet.

Caesar Augustus-

got any proof man is causing global warming? hey bcwc, was the world covered in Ice until oil came along?

Question is Caegar, why after science came along are you still ignorant? But then the Koch's are your source for information. World still flat for you? Still only 6000 years old? WTF do scientists know. Denial is a disease.

I was told not to pick on Christie because of his weight, I was told that deep him there is a skinny man that wants to come out, I said really, just one.

so BCWC a simple no would have sufficed. you know there was a mini ice age less then 200 years ago? drill baby drill. you are aware that the roughly 200 year ago mini ice age is considered part of the D-O event? Science, I have Bacchus to guide me.

and BCWC the romans knew the world wasn't flat.

Well Caegar, I'll put my money on the growing 97%, you can put yours on the shrinking 3%.

and BCWC the romans knew the world wasn't flat.

caesar -

The RW bible thumpers will give you an argument about that.

Well Caegar, I'll put my money on the growing 97%, you can put yours on the shrinking 3%.

I'll put my money on the record level of a proven greenhouse gas is actually causing a greenhouse effect.

bcwc - Finally, a democrat implies that next on the Obama target list, after he gets done with the rich, are the obese. After all, a tax on the obese will help pay for Obamacare.

After all, a tax on the obese will help pay for Obamacare.

How much in health-care costs (not to mention lost productivity) do the obese cost this nation every year? I'll wait.

Global warming? You all lost that one.

But let's play - tell me what O has done in the last year about this crucial and terrible issue?

Too bad about the volt factory shut down, eh?

Of course none of you libbies have bothered to get a VOlt, so there is that.

"Finally, a democrat implies that next on the Obama target list, after he gets done with the rich, are the obese. After all, a tax on the obese will help pay for Obamacare."

I don't know if it will pay for the AHCA, but Christie could finally take full credit for single handedly balancing his states budget.

I don't know if it will pay for the AHCA, but Christie could finally take full credit for single handedly balancing his states budget.

so Michelle then could balance the national budget? sounds stupid, but what you said was no different bigot.

Spanky-

Global warming? You all lost that one.

I'll play ball when you tell me how we lost that one. Come on councillor, line up your experts and try not to use the ones who work for the industry. You know they don't go over well with a jury.

Tell me fella, how does that sad trick of making an unfounded statements and then following it up with unrelated questions work in the court room. Get slapped a lot by the Judge?

Um, Spanky--our FR hosts made the pancakes/ribeye analogy, not me. They could have said feathers and bowling balls or whatever else struck their fancy.

And what makes you think I was making a fat remark about Gov. Christie when I said that ribeye steak wasn't a food I would associate with him?

CA,

gotta love Al Gore, he invented global warming and the internet.

Did he make up the scientists too?

Looks like Spanky's owner took him for walksies. Hope they use poop bags in SD.

my little toad devie, im sure he'd take credit for it. all though the D-O event might not fight your lefty global warming agenda or does that science not count?

cute, bcwc talks about poop bags when the feral little kitty, like an occutard, just goes where ever

Stupid Caegar, cats are very neat, they use the dig and bury method. You should try it out with your comments before you click on post.

YEAH... very neat indeed! Except for those NASTY HAIR BALLS! (disgusting creatures!)

:OP

What up black cat? Just drafting some amended Articles of Incorp. And you? Staring intently into the screen? How profitable that must be.

So what you are saying is Global warming will be a big topic at the DNC convention, yes?

Sure it will.

Shoot - maybe you can tell me the last time O even said the words global warming?

Bias against heavy people is no different than bias against people of color or who are different regarding sexual orientation or anything else. While I may not agree with Gov. Christy on many things his weight is his problem and not yours or mine. If people in the US worried half as much about their own back yards as they do others we'd all be better off. People are fat for a variety of reasons. It isn't always because they are lazy or gluttons but could be due to medication that causes the weight gain. It could be a genetic condition or a disease like any other. We simply don't know about all, each and every case is different. So descrimination is descriminationn and it is wrong no matter what the reason. This I'm perfect and anyone who dares even think about being anything, even slightyly different than me is inferior and should be criticized stuff has got to stop.

devie

Did he make up the scientists too?

No... but to support their preconceived conclusion, the 'scientists' made up the results... (go figure)

VERY SCIENTIFIC wouldn't you say?

:o)

Stupid Caegar, cats are very neat, they use the dig and bury method. You should try it out with your comments before you click on post.

never said they werent neat. try reading before you comment. however cats do go outside right (outdoor ones?) so do Occutards? where ever they please. what a dumb cat

devie said:

Right now I am taking care a very old gentleman ... lunch and stuff. Thanks for the list of experts. Wow did you win that one.

Sicko, you are just a nasty bag of puke to begin with. :0)

Spanky -

I can answer that one, too easy.....

President Obama mentioned climate change several times in his speeches over the last few weeks in Iowa in regards to tax credits for Wind Power and other alternative energy sources.

Mitt Romney mentioned it in his 2003 speech in front of a coal plant - the speech where he said “I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that (coal) plant kills people”.

spanky your the genius here. Please answer this question. In your opinion is climate change real on not?

Brianb

No he didn't make up the scientists that disagree with him... in fact ... their numbers are shrinking at the same rate as the Arctic ice cover.

Fixed it for ya.

Adler- this type of speech around here is rampant. I can say I don't like Obama's policies and before you know it, someone who is an Obama supporter will call me a racist. It's a card they pull out when nothing else works. I tend to believe that morons who use that as a crutch, can't think for themselves.

Please answer this question. In your opinion is climate change real on not?

sure, we have fall, winter, spring, summer. The climate changes everytime. what a dumb question. Maybe on planet moonbat you guys dont

tell ya what ladies. Its totally irrelevant. unless the climate change is going to change the debt, unemployment and the over all economy.

bcwc - show me the link. Some proof please... you can't just make up facts on your own. Nobody believes it. I guess you haven't figured that out for yourself yet.

sure, we have fall, winter, spring, summer. The climate changes everytime. what a dumb question. Maybe on planet moonbat you guys dont

Uh...the changing the seasons isn't climate.

bcwc - show me the link. Some proof please... you can't just make up facts on your own. Nobody believes it. I guess you haven't figured that out for yourself yet.

There was an article yesterday on whatever this news site calls itself now. Record low sea ice in the arctic.

caesar augustus Good answer you really made me laugh. your right it does change just like you said. That makes you the genius. Let me reword the question. This is for you caesar, In your opinion is global warming real or not?

Bb ... who is that nobody? You, Spanky and that knuckle dragger Caegar. Let's see I could send you to the EPA site but that's just a bunch of pinkos and you could retaliate with carbon funded studies which are just a bunch of Kochs. Point is, Brianb your ass is owned by someone elses wish to drill, drill, drill, dig, dig, dig, frack, frack, frack. Great for the economy short term ... but long term cleaning up the mess? You do know that methane gas is bubbling up from the ground in peoples backyards in PA polluting the drinking water through fracking. Let's have more of that @!$%#? Spanky has whole firsty fleet of hogs. How about you?

Xabre

sure, we have fall, winter, spring, summer. The climate changes everytime. what a dumb question. Maybe on planet moonbat you guys dont

Uh...the changing the seasons isn't climate.

does the climate not change or are you on planet moonbat?

is global warming real? There are trends of cooling and warming throughout earths short history. now get to your point.

poor bcwc go back to talking about marble busts. knuckle dragger that slaps you around. guess you're lower on the food chain after all. Keep talking about the Koch brothers, such a sound argument

Black Cat

Not sure if you saw this one; but the Global Warming study - funded by the Koch brothers - well the results came back:

Poor Dubya has been kicked to the curb, along with Cheney and Sarah...what happened to all those 'super stars'?

Can't wait for the 'revenge of Sarah'!..I think Dubya doesn't care, not one bit!

Kicked to the curd?

So then the DNC will be trotting out Carter?

And let's see Palin was a VP candidate, so then the DNC will certainly be trotting out John Edwards?

You all are too funny.

Hey chilled - new job numbers will be out next week - care to offer a prediction?

Or would you rather stick with abortion?

Yeah, Chilled - I didn't think you'd want to touch them jobs numbers.

So, how about the cost of gasoline? IT's going to hit a new record this weekend.

"Skyrocket."

Spanky -

Pres. Carter has been at almost every Democratic Convention I have seen, so he has not been kicked to the "curd" as you call it.

President Clinton will be there, why not "W"? Actually Clinton has a better chance of being mentioned positively in Tampa than Bush!

I predict the job numbers will be better than the job losses caused by GW Bush.

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

Mitt Romney - "Big business is doing fine..."

Where is Dubya? I'm sure the fine people of Louisiana would like to see him address the convention on the seven year anniversary of Katrina. "Brownie, you're doing a helluva job!"

The fine people of Louisiana? You mean those idiots that keep going back and reconstructing their town BELOW SEA LEVEL? Those people?

The people who, every year when the hurricanes come, expect the rest of the nation to rebuild their homes and businesses when they flood out? Those people?

The people who continually make conscious decisions to live and work BELOW SEA LEVEL? Those people?

I hate to tell you, but those people are fools and as such should be left to their own demise the next time the floods come!

(clown noses, get your clown noses... right here... :O)

I hate to tell you, but those people are fools and as such should be left to their own demise the next time the floods come!

SOB, You're all heart.

SOTB-

What about all those fancy beachfront homes that get replaced every time a hurricane comes through?

The homes that keep getting built right on the beach, the ones that cost millions of dollars, the ones that get Federal Disaster money?

Should we abandon those, too?

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

So, how about the cost of gasoline? IT's going to hit a new record this weekend.

"Skyrocket."

where is steven chu?

Steven WHO?

HAHAHAAHAH!!!!!

:o)

SOTB-

What about all those fancy beachfront homes that get replaced every time a hurricane comes through?

As far as I'm concerned... yeah... Ever hear this definition:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

You get one shot... after that... if you keep doing the same STUPID things... you are on your own!

;o)

Caesar-

You do know that speculation is responsibile for about 40% of the cost of oil, right?

And that Democrats have proposed several bills to reinstate the regulations on speculation, but they have been filibustered by the Reppublicans?

So you can thank your Tea-Party Republicans for 40% of the price at the pump this weekend.

TNSEVOL you do know who said we need gas prices to that of European levels (to that effect).

Please bring the regs back, didnt seem to help prevent BP when they dumped tons of oil into the gulf. try not being a libtard

Oh yeah... because there are no rich dems trading speculative contracts...

WHAT A DORK!

8-P

Caesar -

Three basic influencers of gas prices:

1) Supply & Demand - not controllable in the short term (even with "drill baby drill")

2) Exchange Rates - not controllable in the short term

3) Speculation - can be regulated and or eliminated

Try to not be an idiot.

1) Supply & Demand - not controllable in the short term (even with "drill baby drill")

Keep in mind this is global supply and demand. The USA doesn't have enough oil to sway global supply that much.

Try to not be an idiot.

you first. but yes Sick of, in libtardia there is no such thing as a rich democrat and they all care about humanity.

Steven Chu also said that gas prices would have to be at European levels before consumers would make changes, however he never advocated for gas prices to be that high.

Another distortion - I would expect no less from followers of Mitt Romney.

Who said anything about rich dems or republicans? I thought we were talking about the cause of high gas prices - I believe you were trying to blame President Obama?

I apologize for confusing you with facts and basic economic theory.

I should have said that as Secretary of Energy Steven Chu never advocated for higher gas prices.

He did recommend gradual increase in gas prices - in theory, as part of a strategy to eliminate dependence on foreign oil, before he was appointed.

“Somehow,” Chu said, “we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.”

why did he then apologize? facts pfft

CAn any of you conservatives EVER quote correctly? Are you capable of reading and understanding more than one sentence at a time?

It would seem that you are not because you are constantly taking things out of context.

The USA doesn't have enough oil to sway global supply that much.

No, but since we consume over 20% of the supply we have immense impact on the demand.

It never ceases to amaze me that "conservation" isn't "Conservative." How is it that spending less of your money on energy so you have it to fund other parts of your life isn't responsible?

If you look at where the money that funds the Conservative Movement comes from it all becomes clear.

Yeah, if only he could evolve like O, right?

Say, where is President Evolve on Gitmo or cutting the deficit?

Or gas prices? You do remember those commercials he made in '07 blaming Bush for high gas.

Man of conviction is he.

Say, where is President Evolve on Gitmo or cutting the deficit?

A) Congress made him keep Gitmo open.

B) Congress never passed a budget.

A brief summary of Romney’s Flip/Flops:

Minimum wage

Campaigning for Governor, 2002: Romney stated "I do not believe that indexing the minimum wage will cost us jobs. I believe it will help us retain jobs."

As Governor, July 2006: Romney stated "…there's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs, and the loss of jobs is at the entry level."

Stem Cell Research

Campaigning for Governor, 2002: Romney expressed broad support for embryonic stem cell research, and said he would lobby President Bush to support it.

As Governor, 2005: Romney vetoed a Massachusetts bill to fund stem-cell research.

Abortion

Campaign, 2002: Romney stated "I will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose and am devoted and dedicated to honoring my word in that regard." Romney's platform - "As Governor, Mitt Romney would protect the current pro-choice status quo in Massachusetts. No law would change. The choice to have an abortion is a deeply personal one. Women should be free to choose based on their own beliefs, not the government's."

Governor, July 2005: Romney criticized Roe v. Wade in a veto message in rejecting a bill mandating access to access to emergency contraception. In February 2006, Romney stated that his views on abortion had "evolved" and "changed" since 2002 such that he then considered himself a "pro-life governor" who wishes "the laws of our nation could reflect that view".

2012: Romney said: "I support the reversal of Roe v. Wade."

Gun Control

Senate campaign, 1994: Romney said his views on Gun Control were "...not going to make me the hero of the NRA.."

Campaign, 2002: Romney supported the federal assault weapons ban.

July 1, 2004: Romney signed a permanent state ban on assault weapons, saying "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts. These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." The law covered weapons such as the AK-47, Uzi, and MAC-10.

April, 2012: Romney addressed the NRA's national convention and said "We need a president who will enforce current laws, not create new ones that only serve to burden lawful gun owners."

Gay Rights

Senate campaign, 1994: Romney stated “..I respect the work and the efforts he's (Ted Kennedy) made on behalf of the gay community and for civil rights more generally, and I would continue that fight. There's something to be said for having a Republican who supports civil rights in this broader context, including sexual orientation. When Ted Kennedy speaks on gay rights, he's seen as an extremist. When Mitt Romney speaks on gay rights, he's seen as a centrist and a moderate. …When Ted says it, it's extreme; when I say it, it's mainstream. I think the gay community needs more support from the Republican party and I would be a voice in the Republican party to foster anti-discrimination efforts.”

Campaign 2002: Romney's stated position was "All citizens deserve equal rights, regardless of their sexual orientation. While he does not support gay marriage, Mitt Romney believes domestic partnership status should be recognized in a way that includes the potential for health benefits and rights of survivorship."

Governor, 2004: Romney stated "If the question is, 'Do you support gay marriage or civil unions?' I'd say neither. If they said you have to have one or the other, that Massachusetts is going to have one or the other, then I'd rather have civil unions than gay marriage. But I'd rather have neither."

Healthcare

Governor, 2006: …Romney successfully pushed for incorporating an individual mandate at the state level. April 2006: Romney signed legislation that mandates that nearly all Massachusetts residents buy or obtain health insurance coverage or face a penalty in the form of an additional income tax assessment. The bill established a regulatory authority called the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority to implement the law and establish insurance standards.

2010: In a speech, Romney said of Obamacare "I hope we're ultimately able to eliminate some of the differences, and repeal the bad and keep the good." He applauded the individual mandate, which he says "works."

Campaign 2012: Romney promises to repeal “Obamacare” on Day One.

Taxes

Campaign 2002: Romney refused to sign an anti-tax pledge put forth by Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform. Romney presented a plan to balance the budget without raising taxes. Romney also favored gambling as a way to help balance the Massachusetts deficit.

2003: A windfall in capital gains tax revenue caused by a previously enacted capital gains tax increase reduced the deficit by $1.3 billion.

2006: The combined state and local tax burden in Massachusetts increased during Romney's governorship. Romney cut spending by $1.6 billion, including $700 million in reductions in state aid to cities and towns. In response, cities and towns raised property taxes by five percent to their highest level in 25 years. In 2005, Romney signed legislation allowing local commercial property taxes to be raised, which resulted in $100 million more in property taxes from local business owners.

Romney created new fees and increased fees for many state licenses and services. In all 33 new fees were created and 57 fees were increased, raising $501 million in new income in the first year of the fee increase program - more than any other state in the nation. Romney increased a state gasoline “special fee” by two cents per gallon, generating about $60 million per year in additional revenue. This made for a total effective state gasoline tax of 23.5 cents per gallon.

Blind Trusts

Senate campaign, 1994: Mitt Romney questioned Ted Kennedy over the then-senator's blind trust in a debate. He called Kennedy's blind trust "a ruse," arguing that it is easy to determine where one's money is going.

2012: "With regard to any foreign investments, I understand, and you understand of course, that my investments have been held by a blind trust, have been managed by a trustee," Romney said. "I don't manage them. I don't even know where they are. That trustee follows all U.S. laws. All the taxes are paid, as appropriate. All of them have been reported to the government. There's nothing hidden there." Romney’s “blind trust” also invested millions in his son Tag’s start-up business.

Coal

2002: Newly-elected Gov. Romney hires Douglas Foy, an environmental activist, and puts him in charge of supervising four state agencies. Mr. Foy will serve as the governor’s negotiator on a regional climate-change initiative and put emissions caps in place for coal-fired power plants.

2003: Romney joined Mr. Foy and other activists outside a coal-fired plant to show his commitment to the emissions caps. Romney said “I will not create jobs or hold jobs that kill people, and that plant, that plant kills people”.

2005: Romney implemented emissions caps but backed away from a regional climate-change agreement. He announced this decision on the same day he said he would not seek re-election as governor (and began his run for president).

2012: Romney stands in front of a group of Coal Miners and decries President Obama’s “job-killing regulations”.

Reagan

Senate campaign, 1994: Romney said “Look, I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush"..

2010 – Romney said "The principles that Ronald Reagan espoused are as true today as they were when he spoke them."

Xabre...

You mean that democratically controlled congress that he had command over for the first two years of his presidency prevented him from accomplishing one of his goals and keeping his PROMISE to the American people! Say it ain't so!!!!

Let me guess... 'congress' means republicans, right? Again... except for that whole first two years thing...

:o)

Damn TSNEVL - all that and O is still losing?

Why that's just terrible. :)

SOB: Here you go.

“During 2009 and early 2010, he is totally engaged in the struggle to get health-care reform,” a White House participant said when asked about the president’s engagement with the effort to close Guantanamo. “That occupies his mind, and his time.”

Obama has conceded that Guantanamo will not close anytime soon. “Obviously I haven’t been able to make the case right now, and without Congress’s cooperation, we can’t do it,” he said this month in an interview with the Associated Press. “That doesn’t mean I stop making the case.”

Administration officials lay blame for the failed initiative on Congress, including Democrats who deserted the president, sometimes in droves. The debate, they said, became suffused with fear — fear that transferring detainees to American soil would create a genuine security threat, fear that closing Guantanamo would be electoral suicide. Some Democratic lawmakers pleaded with the White House not to press too hard, according to administration officials.

I can't give a link, but it was from Washington Post article titled: "Guantanamo Bay: Why Obama hasn’t fulfilled his promise to close the facility".

Spanky -

President Obama is losing? Was there a new poll released today that reflects that?

Every poll I have seen that takes the Electoral College into account shows President Obama with a clear lead.

Again, as Bush/Kerry 2004 shows an incumbent can still win with a slight electoral college advantage.

Is that all you got, "counselor"?

Chris Matthews, under the podium.

Wait til the Dem Convention, the First Read coverage will be all warm and fuzzy...

And all of you conservatives, you who have been squaealing about liberal insensitivity, you will be the absolute models of decorum, correct?

pretty classy there byrd...

you are obviously focused on the REAL issues!

:o)

SOTB -

The REAL issues like birth certificates, stolen social security numbers, or college transcripts?

Or did you mean the REAL issues addressed in the Romney ads by lying and taking the President's words out of context?

Paul Ryan - The Deficit? I Built That!

Two wrongs make a right in your world?

HYPOCRITE!

Two wrongs make a right in your world?

Nope, just pointing out the HYPOCRISY of your post......

REALLY? 99% are struggling to put food on the table?

Man... I must be one of the 1%'ers because I'm not struggling to put food on the table... nor is anyone that lives on my street.. or in my neighborhood for that matter.

(nothing like a little liberal over-exaggeration)

look at me and my big ol' CLOWN NOSE! :oP

TR ROSE; "its time for blueberry pancakes & steaks - vote 100% democrat"

Didn't you have both houses of congress from 2006 to 2010, then the White House since Jan 09? How did that work out for ya? You should be eating some really fine & tasty steaks by now shouldn't ya????

Didn't you have both houses of congress from 2006 to 2010

This has been debunked so many times. Look it up and learn. It didn't work out for any of us because the re was no control plus the Republicans filibustered everything that came before them.

By continuing to repeat a lie, you negate anything else you have to say.

In The Know - your entire post - where you don't call out any of the far righters on this site for their hate filled comments, even about the First Lady...

Pathetic!

Obama/Biden 2012

Suuure you have a black friend.

And yes, I would say to his face that he's a fool for being a republican.

Chris Michel be careful he might you up.

Why is it that black people have lots of white friends

but white people only have ONE black friend?

ITK...another tidbit to learn about left wing chicago "mafia" and other dem...hysterics and assertions that don't hold up to simple scrutiny. i.e. SS above cries out about hateful posts, "even about the First Lady." In rereading all posts through this 100+ thread, the worst I found was Empress Michele. (#1.9) And the irony of that is in the immediate following lefty post (Chilled), there was reference to "Queen Ann." All that hate posting was followed by "dress" warfare...oooooh, the inhumanity.

ITK...if you're from oklahoma and your friend represented your state...i envy and respect your friendship.

While George Clooney and the rest of Obama's "rich hollywood friends" held a 20K a plate fundraiser in Switzerland (in secret, I might add). At least Mitt has the grapes to raise cash out in the open....Obama, a man of the people...what a joke?? More like, Barry and the Choom gang of the naive......

squeeze those "grapes" and he makes whine....

thanks, detroit

was going to grab it myself; but I see you were ON IT!

thanks detroit and Clara!

buc'sdad--you seem to have missed the point--the obtuseness of someone who has Cayman Island accounts and who doesn't want to explain those accounts--having a party on a ship flying the Cayman Island flag--don't you see the irony? Wouldn't you have made sure that that party was on a ship flying a US flag---Mitt is running for the presidency, after all....Mitt, I know Ann wants us to trust you; but, we're going to have to see those tax returns!

I know....poor lib tards....desperately clinging to tax returns while Barry and the choom gang "smoke" (no pun intended) the economy....that's OK though, all of you nit wits are all over it. BTW, did you see Ryan speak tonight?I'm afraid that Barry is going to keep slipping in the polls. Please don't get too testy....its unbecoming!!!

Plus...I might add....really SUCKS when your candidate is outspent. In 08 the unions spent more than the entire McCain campaign. I think it speak volumes that Obama is running in the red now while Romney gets to TAP that juicy 160 mil campaign fund when he says "I do" to the GOP tomorrow night.....Debbie WasserMAN and the rest of the "clown car administration" are going to have to put the "LIE MACHINE" in overdrive....I just love making fun of you self-righteous" LIB TARDS....it makes me smile. Keep up the good work you FREAKS.....HA HA HA.

OMG!! You people just whine incessantly....why don't take a break from your constant blabbering every now and then.
