Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Weekend Music Thread – Romney Roasting I think about half of Pink Floyd’s songs speak in some way to Romnulan types. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 4, 2012 @ 1:59 pm This song always comes to mind when I think of chickenhawks like Romney and Cheney. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 4, 2012 @ 1:57 pm 😆 good one. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 4, 2012 @ 1:55 pm Time for the GOPTEA Anthem
» Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 4, 2012 @ 1:55 pm President X – Will Americans Really Elect a Man in Hiding? I love how the MSM fools like Mark Halprin look at this election. They think if Romney just performs well in the convention and debates that Romney will win. They forget people vote for people not performances. I guess he thinks Americans are so stupid that if Romney performs a few circus tricks without having a vision or being transparent that all will be forgiven. Again I warn Obama supporters that many Americans are as brain dead as Halprin. You can already see that his ilk is going to play the expectations game during the debates and as long as Romney doesn’t have a huge gaffe they will say he won. The MSM wants this election to be close and will do everything they can to make it so. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 3, 2012 @ 4:58 pm Great to have you back 2 belinda. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 3, 2012 @ 4:51 pm Agreed the weak minded swing voters tend to sail the political winds. I’m just not so sure they would follow such negative political winds. There simply is no positivity in the GOPTEA cause or the Romney campaign that can attract swing voters. For the most part Obama supporters are still positive. They like most of the change Obama and the Dems were able to achieve and know the GOP will go backwards. I think there is a bit of apathy on the purist left but those people don’t vote reliably anyway. From what I can see the Dems’ real base is fired up about Obama and some of this is starting to flow down to down ballot races. Also don’t discount that the left has built up a pretty good hate for Romney as well because of the way he lies about Obama and has shown disdain for the working class and poor. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 3, 2012 @ 8:58 am Yeah AdLib you are right. Romney is definitely a toaster. Courtesy of ABL’s website. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 2, 2012 @ 9:30 pm Don’t give right wing lunatics any ideas. I could see some red neck working on a rig in the gulf causing an oil spill just to make Obama look bad. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 2, 2012 @ 9:16 pm Great point. That’s exactly how human nature works when someone lies. Maybe Mittens is human after all. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 2, 2012 @ 8:54 pm The Romney campaign is such a friggin’ disaster. So now Romney has hired Michele Davis who is a PR consultant that defended BP after the spill with Hillary Rosen to resuscitate his image. She was also worked for Paulson and was a top regulator at Fannie Mae from 2002-2006 which would make the right wingers’ heads collectively spin IF she worked for Obama. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 2, 2012 @ 8:46 pm Wow excellent summary of the most opaque presidential candidate in modern history. Romney had the nerve to say Reid needs to come out and name the source from Bain that told him Romney paid no taxes for 10 years. For fucksake you’ve got to be kidding me. Romney need only release his tax returns to prove Reid wrong. But that’s the way Romney views the world. Everyone else is wrong but he’s right because he says so. But as bad as the opaque campaign is no doubt a Romney presidency would be worse. His obsession with secrecy would make him a modern tricky Dick. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On August 2, 2012 @ 8:14 pm Brilliant retort to the almighty. I echo allot of your inquisitions. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 27, 2012 @ 2:35 pm The Right Wing’s Psychotic Version of God One of the conservative who contributed in making the original ‘contract with America’ said it best about the modern GOP and I paraphrase because I can’t find the original link. ‘The GOP is more a party of orthodoxy than a party of ideas.’. That’s why he said he was voting for Obama instead of McCain in 2008. I think religion is just one plank that the GOP once relied upon that is corroded. Their whole reason for existence now is a perpetual hate machine that just wants to keep power. I may get their appeal more than most here only because I can see how their message sells well to the middle aged white guy who’s afraid that their control over this country is slipping away. This will not be a country controlled by just one demographic group in 50-100 years. It just won’t because of demographic changes and these people, like the Rush Limbaughs of the world are just scared to death that they will lose control. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 6:19 pm Like I alluded to above I think the prophet Jesus did indeed exist and taught those teachings. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 6:10 pm Oh I should have specified. I did believe Jesus existed as a person. I just don’t believe in the biographical creed that he was the son of God and that he resurrected. I don’t even believe he was born in December. That is just an old myth that ancients used to time the Winter Solstice like his ressurrection was used as the time to describe when crops should be planted. In fact many religions before and after Jesus used this biographical info like the Egyptians and Druids which is based on the movements of the Sol. For example Horus the Egyptian had a biography very close to Jesus including the time of birth, having 12 disciples, being resurrected, Horus was aka the light etc… I think the church just attributed these old myths to Jesus’ life. Even the idea of Ages (the period the earth wobbles around it’s axis is approximately 26,000 years broken up into 12 Ages) is built into the story of Jesus because when Jesus was born we went from the Age of the Bull into the Age of Pisces (now we entered the Age of Aquarius). So basically the timing of biological Jesus has a hell-of-allot more to do with astrological movements than a person’s biography. But I think it shows how the ancients were more brilliant than modern man ever thought about the stars. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Ditto excellent summary of the way the right uses religion as a cudgel to control weak minded Americans. This is a big way they indoctrinate middle America to vote against their personal interests. I’m drastically less eloquent than AdLib I call it pushing bullshyte values for political purposes. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 10:04 am I’m not Christian because I don’t believe in most of the biographical stories of Jesus but I believe in Jesus’ philosophies a hell of allot more than your average GOP bible beater. I wholehearted believe in things like tolerance, charity, not worshiping money, doing good works, being a good example etc… I also know Jesus was just one person who espouses these altruistic values. Most cultures have a ‘profit’ for lack of a better term that espoused teachings very similar to Jesus’. Adam’s was 100% wrong if he did not mean and/or in that statement. You don’t need to be religious to be a moral person. In fact the intolerance of some religions is counter to being a good person IMO. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 9:35 am AdLib spot on as usual. I’ll never get the cognitive dissonance between today’s GOP and Christian values. Jesus was a straight up peace and love hippie who time and time again said greed is not good in his teachings. Yet the Republican Jesus says greed is good, in fact now they are teaching that money is a blessing. For example do you really think Jesus would take the earned income tax credit away from low income working families and give it to the rich? or be against everyone getting access to affordable healthcare? Ironically it’s just not the doctrines of Jesus the GOP perverts. They even twist around what their true patron saint Adam Smith was all about. Adam Smith believed in high wages for a prosperous society and that businesses have as much a fiduciary responsibility to society as they have a responsibility to their stake holders. I’m sure he’s spinning like a top in his grave watch the GOP call what we have today capitalism. It’s nothing but a a collection of oligarchies in every captive market segment. Adam Smith thought you regulated your way to a free market by restricting plutocracy. If you are a Republican today you simply have no core values. Even things like being fiscally conservative is a big lie for the GOP. Watch as they try to EXPAND an already bloated military budget and increase tax cuts for the rich. Their whole ideology is not so much failed as bastardized. Andrew Sullivan points out true conservatism and it includes many aspects the GOP has abandoned and actually the Dems of today stand for like pay go, increased revenue to balance the budget, no expansive wars, defense cuts and even personal responsibility in a universal healthcare system. The GOP on the other hand is radical, expansive militarily, does not pay for two wars and drug benefits, etc. This is not close to being conservative. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 9:24 am The Inevitable Romney Campaign Theme: Hate the Black Man Good to see your moniker leafsfan, my fellow hockey fan. My Devils almost did it but ran into an LA team that was playing lights out, especially Quick in goal. Maybe if Quick is on the US Winter Olympic Hockey Team he’ll give you cannucks something to think about in 2014. McCain has his moments but I’ll never forget he started all this nonsense by selecting Sarah Palin to run with in 2008. There was no way McCain was going to win and he could have been honorable but he picked the most divisive candidate he could. The sad part is all Americans would be better of now save for the insane obstructionism of the GOP. GOP policies are already responsible for Americans losing hundreds of thousands of jobs in the states for example. A new study says the employment rate would be down to less than 7.5% without the GOP cutbacks. The worse part is the obstructionism has paid off for the GOP in it’s efforts to take back the House and now it looks like they have a good chance to take back the Senate. President Obama therefor becomes our only hope to maintain any sanity. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 19, 2012 @ 7:28 am Many of us who watched Romney’s behavior and lack of integrity knew it would come down to this. It’s just a little surprising how soon Romney dove in the gutter with his race baiting politics. He obviously is so desperate not to release his tax returns that he is trying to do anything to deflect. It’s more and more obvious that if Romney did release his tax returns he may not even get the GOP nomination because they are fatally flawed. Most likely he payed little or no taxes some years and the American people will not accept that even in this greed is good age. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 18, 2012 @ 11:06 pm The Apple Fell Far from the Tree Murph excellent article. They could not be two different people when it comes to how they each conducted their public lives. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 16, 2012 @ 1:04 pm Excellent point about how George had the empathy his son does not possess. I would not be as tough on George being a bad father though. The paradigm of the time that prevailed in most American culture was that the mother took care of the kids and the father worked to support the family. Not just Mormons. If anything I would blame the mother, especially if I knew her better for not instilling those important values on little Willard. But then again I don’t think Willard played very nice with others from a very young age. In fact I think the only thing that gives him a civil face at all is how he was raised because he seemed to have chosen not to take those traits to heart. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 16, 2012 @ 1:02 pm This is just more Romney hypocrisy and mendacity. He said we need a stimulus back in 2008. Republicans keep on forgetting GWB did a stimulus in 2008 and two previous stimulus efforts. Then again if you are in the GOP that automatically makes you a hypocrite and liar now. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 22, 2012 @ 9:38 am Oh I agree. I’m just speculated why Romney and Bain did it. It’s really just another instance where the legions from Wall Street think they don’t have to play by any rules. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 15, 2012 @ 9:35 am This is one of the best defenses I’ve heard in response to weak kneed Democrats who think Obama is taking the Bain attacks too far. This is the kind of hand-wringing that makes the Democratic coalition unable to govern effectively. This is politics, not a peer-reviewed research essay. Is Obama’s insinuation not 100% above board? Sure. But it’s a half-truth that’s in the service of a much larger and more important truth: that Romney is the very epitome of financial sector’s arrogance and lack of accountability which is largely responsible for destroying the US economy, and the American middle class, while preserving the gains of the rich at any cost. You can worry about Obama’s fidelity to detail all you want. The guy isn’t a journalist; he’s a politician, and the argument he’s making against Romney does reveal Romney’s true core as another arrogant Master of the Universe who takes it for granted that he lives by a separate set of rules from everyone else. If Obama has to exaggerate and oversimplify to get there, then so be it. This is the most important presidential campaign in modern history FFS. Liberals lose everything if Obama loses. Liberals need to stop acting like this if friggin’ badminton or something. It’s hardball with an opponent that will tell every lie they have to about Obama just to win the election. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 14, 2012 @ 8:59 pm Exactly at minimum Romney and Bain wanted to have it both ways. Romney wants his tenure to now end in 1999. But in 1999 he was fine having Bain use his name and reputation to secure future deals. What Bain and Romney says now does not matter squat now because in at least six SEC filings Romney signed them. Believe me if Romney thought it helped him politically to say he stayed at Bain until 2002 he would be telling us about all he did to run the company. That’s what slimy opportunists do. Romney is showing in interview after interview that he is your typical weak jellyfish when it comes to taking responsibility. It reminds me of when Congress lined up those bankers on capital hill and none of them took responsibility for the financial collapse of 2008. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 14, 2012 @ 8:54 pm AdLib you are spot on. We simply have not seen a candidate this queer (using the 19th century use of the word) in modern history. Mittens does come from a fantasy world and is running a campaign as surreal as Lewis’ most quirky works. I remember before the campaign started that one of the strategies the Obama campaign considered using against Romney was to point out his ‘strangeness’. Of course the right wing cried foul and said this was some kind of dog whistle argument against Romney’s Mormon religion. But Romney has shown with his own statements that he is indeed a very very queer fellow. Nothing more exemplified that than his obsession with proper tree heights before the MI primary. Then again in Romney’s fantasy world the trees are probably talking back to him. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 13, 2012 @ 3:27 pm Figuring Out The Far Right Republicans Spot on with ODS! » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 11, 2012 @ 8:55 pm In reality Goldwater was a true Libertarian especially in his late years because he was more socially liberal. Unlike Ron Paul who is right wing on most key social issues. » Posted By KQµårk 死神 On July 11, 2012 @ 8:54 pmComments Posted By KQµårk 死神
