Yeah Feisty--I can hear the TPGNOPers screaming "FOUL" even while their uberwealthy patrons pony up for Romney's campaign against our president...just how much is Sheldon Adelson willing to sacrifice...about $100 million? I can hear their heads exploding even as we speak! Hypocrites!!!!!

Thank you, Mr. Soros for supporting our President.

This will send the Right wing wackos off the bridge. I hear the teachers union gave him 4 million hahahahahahaha idiots

Out of curiosity, I went and looked up how much Pimp Daddy has doled out so far, as of 9.24!

From New York Magazine;

What motivates Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who has so far donated $70 million of his vast $21 billion fortune to the cause of defeating President Obama, an already record-breaking sum that could further climb to $100 million by the time all is said and done? Politico robot-hobo reporter Mike Allen finally found out: Adelson just wants a goddamn potato latke.

Adelson said he recently told Romney: “I want to tell you something: I’m not looking for an ambassadorship. I’m not looking for anything, except if I’m fortunate enough to be invited to another [White House] Hanukkah party, I want two potato pancakes, because last time I was there, they ran out of them.” He explained that he went “to all the Hanukkah parties for the eight years of Bush … but the last time I was there, they ran out of … latkes

$70 million ought to buy this chump plenty of latkes! *wink wink*

I'm sure there are plenty of strings attached!

"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly

Ah, the conservatives won't even notice this story. They're too busy coming up with preemptive excuses why it's the media's fault that Mitt lost the presidential debates and they're trying invent bogus reasons they can use to blame President Obama for the whole GOP voter fraud thing. They'll be tied up for quite a while...

Maybe it's a case of easy come, easy go? Adelson is a gambler, and he's about to lose big. :)

I'm just waiting for all the 'Soros is a socialist' talk from the RWNJ's.

One Internet donation from a struggling poor man: $2.

A big donation from Soros: one more million dollars ...

Our common cause to re-elect Obama and revive the American Dream ... priceless.

I'm just waiting for all the 'Soros is a socialist' talk from the RWNJ's.

KayBee,

Where are the little "dears"... anyway?

Actually the little righties have their hands full right now dealing with the voter fraud in - of all states - Florida!!!

Obama/Biden 2012

@Feisty,

The funny thing is, it wasn't that long ago that no one knew anything about Sheldon Adelson or the Koch bros.

Now they are household names... and the Republicans can no longer use the Soros argument that they've been on about for YEARS.

Another "unintended consequence" of Citizens United?

Or just plain old Karma?

Or just plain old Karma?

I like to believe it's Karma coming back to bite them in their flabby, white butts, BaliBob! lol

Actually the little righties have their hands full right now dealing with the voter fraud in - of all states - Florida!!!

Seeking,

The little dears don't know whether to @!$%# or go blind over there! It's a beautiful thing! lmao!

@Feisty:

"Where are the little "dears"... anyway?"

Sorry, most people don't spend their days sitting on the computer waiting with anticipation for the next NBCNews story to come up like you do. Especially "little dears" who are smart enough to realize that NBC is extremely biased and most the articles are very distant from the truth.

Bob-2711464, how nice of you to show up, little dear.

Sorry, most people don't spend their days sitting on the computer waiting with anticipation for the next NBCNews story to come up

Actually, we're all waiting to see how FOX spins the GOP Voter Fraud scandal. Some of us think they'll blame Obama and others think they will pretend it didn't happen. Personally, I'm betting they'll deliver the news in Pig Latin in the desperate hope that the American public is too stupid to understand it. You do know pig latin, don't you, Bob?

Wonder how much Soros doesn't pay in taxes. I'm pretty sure he doesn't pay his fair share. He hates Capitalism. But he does support Obama. Does that say something? Guess this election goes to the highest bidder. Very sad.

uaw-779887

...I hear the teachers union gave him 4 million hahahahahahaha idiots.

Unless I'm misunderstood, you just said that the teachers union is full of 4 million idiots.

Soros obviously doesn't hate Capitalism, 14th Richest man, he likes to give back to the Country that nurtured him, and he gives a hand up instead of a slap down.

Thank You Mr. Soros

Feisty, they are beginning to slither in, a bunch is chewing on ACORN. They'll be here,

Obama 2012

Soros? the first two letters are s and o if you add a c an i an a.......... oh come on repubs you get it! c'mon out and play! You know you want to call him a socialist/marxist/communist!

Gee...a mega-wealthy paying to an evil super-pac...my gosh...I thought Obama swore those things off... So much for keeping promises...

Where are the little "dears"... anyway?

I'm not sure, Feisty... but my best two guesses are: getting really drunk somewhere, or hiding in the woods. (Or maybe hiding in the woods, getting drunk...)

It's been going badly for them ever since Clint had that little chat with an empty chair.

Romney hired this jackazz and Romney needs to be investigated. He knew what he was buying. I used to just dislike Mittwit, but now............................!!!!!!!!!!!

Lately watching him stumble around has been funny, but this isn't funny. This is corruption of the republican party at its highest level. Romney makes Nixon look like a choir boy!

He had better go live with his money in the Caymen Islands and forget the whole thing! We don't need him!

I honestly feel I am watching the disintegration of the republican party. They will join the Whig party in extinction.

Funny, I wasn't posting on the Sorros article. I was posting on the Sproul article.

he said what ?

For the first time in his 60-year career, Soros, now 81, admits he is not sure what to do. “It’s very hard to know how you can be right,

*yawn

still waiting for some new ideas from you lefties ...

Sheldon Adelson...

The Koch Brothers...

Do Republicans really want to go there?

Da Noid, they can't help themselves from going there.

No whining...just showing the hypocrisy on the left..."I'm not going to take that kind of money..." Well...gee...guess he is no different than Romney... Who would have thought...

as feisty said a million dolla aint chit

JK, the president is not a fool he cannot sit back and not compete with all the big money. As long as Citizens united stands we need to use it too.

If you can't beat em' join em'.

Don't you see that if the argument is always about somebody else's money you have already lost ...

Sorry photo won't show up, but I'm sure Feisty follows Obama on twitter so you can ask her about it.

Dangerfield: yes, and people said that Saddam Hussein kept the lights on, Hitler brought full employment to Germany and Mussolini made the trains run on time...

So they had mental and personality issues that they felt only a good genocide could cure, nobody's perfect, right ?

At least with the Republicans, we don't have that right ?

Not yet......

Excellent rebuttal, dirp!

Nobody's perfect. We don't even expect Obama to be perfect.

But we know he's a giant compared to the midget that is Mitt Romney.

Hitler, Il Duche, Saddam Hussein, and two American citizens, spending their own money to support the things they believe in....

Your reply/sad analogy shows that your conception of freedom of speech and expression has more in common with the three guys you named first, than the two objects of your ire...

phark Koch Boys, Adelson, Rove and finally, ta da...................R/R

Obama 2012

What do I get for 5k? I’m only thinking of the good he has done, and
the personnel connection he shows to all. Remember the Barn, where he spoke, the couple’s wedding after. What did he send them? Now he could have forgotten them? But he didn’t. Now that’s someone that cares….

The only voter fraud that has occurred has been done by the GOP establishment, no ID laws will prevent them from not counting the votes or appointing the next President.

Candice, there you go telling us what we think, and getting it wrong, again. We on the left are not saying there is never voter fraud (we don't deal in absolutes like the irrational people), but that there isn't a level of fraud (it's less than .1%) that would justify disenfranchsing legitmate voters. See, we recognize a false choice, and a flawed argument, when we see one.

You may want to just concentrate on explaining what you think.

For anyone interested in the truth, try this;

Fraud by individual voters is both irrational and extremely rare. Most citizens who take the time to vote offer their legitimate signatures and sworn oaths with the gravitas that this hard-won civic right deserves. Even for the few who view voting merely as a means to an end, however, voter fraud is a singularly foolish way to attempt to win an election. Each act of voter fraud risks five years in prison and a $10,000 fine - but yields at most one incremental vote. The single vote is simply not worth the price.

Because voter fraud is essentially irrational, it is not surprising that no credible evidence suggests a voter fraud epidemic. There is no documented wave or trend of individuals voting multiple times, voting as someone else, or voting despite knowing that they are ineligible. Indeed, evidence from the microscopically scrutinized 2004 gubernatorial election in Washington State actually reveals just the opposite: though voter fraud does happen, it happens approximately 0.0009% of the time. The similarly closely-analyzed 2004 election in Ohio revealed a voter fraud rate of 0.00004%. National Weather Service data shows that Americans are struck and killed by lightning about as often.

So yeah!

I wonder why the sudden urgency to fix something which isn't broken...?

I wonder why the sudden urgency to fix something which isn't broken...?

And therefore, today's voter registration fraud scandal is a non-issue.

Thanks, Feisty.

And welcome back. Posters really missed you when you were out of commission.

RTFS,

but that there isn't a level of fraud (it's less than .1%)

or let's use Feisty's number of .0009%.

100 million votes at .0009% = 90,000 people's votes cancelled out by fraud. Diluting the vote of 90,000 people is okay with you?

The truth according to some liberal website...gee what's next?? They are going to tell us the world is flat?

dont forget republican thaddeus mccotter who was made to resign months ago leaving his staff to face 13 felonies & 23 misdemeanors.

Liberals and conservatives alike need to consider the consequences of this election so we will not be surprised by them.

Last week the Obama administration started its third round of printing fiat money (currency that a government has declared to be legal tender, despite the fact that it has no intrinsic value and is not backed by reserves). $600 billion is the current estimate. That's almost $2,000 apiece for every man, woman, and child in the country!

In the past, when governments have printed fiat money to cover their own expenses, there has been a short-term economic bump, but then inflation is always the ultimate result. To us, personally, that means that, if Obama is reelected, the buying power of our savings and income will be severely reduced within about 18 months. Think about what you will need to do in order to survive inflation - other than "blame Bush" - it will happen.

Romney, by contrast, is a proponent of fiscal conservatism. That is, he recognizes the ill effects of deficit spending.

Under Romney, inflation may be relatively mild; under Obama it will be brutal. If you are lucky enough to still have a job, your salary will not go down, but it will buy a lot less gas and groceries.

per etcha sketch "its not his job to worry about the 47%" (22% elderly, the rest, his own supporters, those who may have voted for him, military, the disabled, students) because "he recognizes the ill effects" of trying to "convince them to take personal responsibility & care for their own lives".

and romney wind up to for the Koch Boys=adelson=rove.

Obama 2012

Kannin,

I hadn't thought of it that way, but you make a good image!! You just have to love how all those on the left are now trying to "justify" their greed to the almighty Soros by of course drawing comparisons to those on the right. It just goes to show that Obama is no better than Romney...

a good way to cheat is to disenfranchise voters you believe more likely to vote for your opponent.

You mean the way the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit to block a new state law allowing men and women in uniform to vote up until the Monday right before an election, while the cutoff on early voting for the rest of the public is three days earlier.

However, the National Guard Association and other military groups have fired back, saying it's "offensive" for Democrats to suggest in the lawsuit it's arbitrary for service members to get special consideration.

Men and women in uniform typically get more time than other voters to send in absentee ballots since they may be serving in an overseas or domestic location that is not close to their home polling station.

Kannin, you might want to Google the difference between "absentee" voting and early in person voting. One you mail the ballot in and it has to be received on or before election day. The other allows you to go to a voting booth in person and vote early.

PS, The Democrats never asked that the veterans not be allowed to vote early those three days. They only asked that everyone else be allowed to vote early as well. So much for your cheap shot argument.

I need to emphasize: Obama Campaign and the Democratic National Committee have filed a lawsuit to block a new state law. A lawsuit - and you think that they are concerned with fairness? Tell me what other lawsuits have they filed just for goodness-of-their-heart "fairness". The only possible purpose to their lawsuit is to disenfranchise military voters.

Kannin, Al just explained it to you but you are a typical con with a closed mind. Obviously Jesus Christ could tell you with one hand on the Constitution and the other on a stack of Bibles and you wouldn't believe it if it didn't agree with your pre conceived notion.

As usual, Kannin is full of it.

http://www.politifact.com/ohio/statements/2012/aug/06/mitt-romney/mitt-romney-says-lawsuit-filed-president-obamas-ca/

And we get a seat in the front row to see the hypocrisy show of the left!!

i'm sure Obama enjoyed his front row seat to the failed disastrous comedy show that was the republican convention reiterated by his tweet "THIS SEAT'S TAKEN!"

"The "Crazy Conservative Court" of Judge Roberts had decided that this is just fine! Enjoy the results of "Jerky Judges" picked by your friend President "W."

the only good decision he made in 8yrs.

...we all know that Romney is the underdog, fighting an uphill battle...

Romney is a dog alright.

Mutt Romney.

Well...at least he didn't get eaten unlike Obama's poor dog...

@JK1963 "DON'T ROOF RACK ME, BRO!"

it is childish & insulting for you all to keep talking about this. you know this info because Obama volunteered it. all Obama has done & said has been in the public eye for years, unlike mitt, which is why nothing republicans use against Obama works & why they have to lie & cheat their way thru this election.

Obama ate dog in 1967 at age 6 when he had no control over what he was given to eat in a country where eating dog is part of their culture.

the romneys were 35 & 36 when they strapped their dog to the roof of their car in an airtight container on a 650 mile trip doing 70, 75mph down the highway where the dog had diarrhea that flowed down the windows of their car. why did you not mention that?

(The new DEVO song, "Don't Roof Rack Me, Bro! (Seamus Unleashed)" for your enjoyment (but not Mitt's).

@Michael Staker

you tell 'em! calling half the country moochers (the elderly, 22% of the 47%, military, the disabled, students) WHO "CANT BE CONVINCED TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY & CARE FOR THEIR OWN LIVES" behind closed doors where cameras were not allowed is as noble & honorable as it gets.

i'll give you the benefit of the doubt for if you knew the true characters of etcha sketch's donors, you would not have made this statement!

The only fools are the ones who support obama and his Muslim brotherhood !

the problem for mitt is mitt. if he is easily influenced now & faithfully does what he is told, he's also going to get pimped should he ever become president.

it is obvious that mitt is proud of romneycare, he biggest achievement as governor, but the right gets upset any time he mentions it. if he ran as the person that ran against kennedy, he would have had a good chance. mitt chose to be a sellout.

etcha sketch's approval rating is now lower than bush w's Obama is ahead in even fox polls. are fox polls bias also? where is the need for "someone put out a call for help"? willie is self destructing. all Obama need do is sit back, watch & laugh.

etcha sketch's approval rating is now lower than bush w's! just when you thought republicans couldn't sink any lower...

everyone should do research on mitt's doors. at least the ones we know the names of like sheldon adleson & the koch brothers if you dont know who these people really are.

like ralph reed:

"In 1999, Alabama considered legalizing various forms of gambling, including casinos and a statewide lottery. As the former national head of the Christian Coalition, Reed helped lead the charge to defeat those measures. What wasn’t known until years later was that Reed had a secret partner in his anti-gambling crusade — an Indian casino in Mississippi.

The Mississippi Choctaws had a vested interest in seeing gambling fail in Alabama, namely because passage might mean fewer folks from Alabama making the drive to Philadelphia, Miss., to place a wager.

It was a nifty little shell game. Reed rallied the unsuspecting faithful in Alabama while collecting more than $1 million from the casino. The money was laundered through an anti-tax Washington operation to place a fig leaf over the top of this sordid deal.

By the time these shenanigans were discovered, the issue of gambling in Alabama was dead and the culprits had moved on. Several of the key players went to prison. Reed didn’t serve time in what became known as the Abramoff scandal, named for the lobbyist/schemer Jack Abramoff who served more than three years in federal prison for his leading role in this episode.

Getting rich by cynically trading on the sincere beliefs of Alabama Christians didn’t land Reed behind bars. It did leave a crimson stain on an already sordid reputation of a man who once described himself as a commando political operative, “I paint my face and travel at night. You don’t know it’s over until you’re in a body bag."

like jack gilchrist & others in mitt's "we built it" ads that failed to mention they received thousands of dollars from the government that helped to build their businesses or the mine workers at mitt's rally & in an ad that called into a radio station to complain about losing a day's pay because the business was shut down for mitt's visit & they were forced to attend the rally though top officials say attendance was mandatory. they weren't forced.

& i suppose etcha sketch's closed door comment about how he really feels about half of the country was made up & when he said "I WILL NEVER CONVINCE THEM (THE 47%) TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY & CARE FOR THEIR LIVES" that was taken out of context.

the republicans have been bankrupt for a long time!
