If you have, sorry. 😉 http://crooksandliars.com/kenneth-quinnell/united-steelworkers-fight-voter-s » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 3:42 pm Oh, now this is a good one. Paul Ryan, “Ayn Rand who????” Boy, they are all trying to backtrack! Ayn Rand Fanboy Paul Rand Now Says He Rejects Ayn Rand’s Philosophy “The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand,” Ryan said at a D.C. gathering four years ago honoring the author of “Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead.” And now he is saying: “I reject her philosophy,” Ryan says firmly. “It’s an atheist philosophy. It reduces human interactions down to mere contracts and it is antithetical to my worldview. If somebody is going to try to paste a person’s view on epistemology to me, then give me Thomas Aquinas,” who believed that man needs divine help in the pursuit of knowledge. “Don’t give me Ayn Rand.” Nice try Sonny Boy but they have a video…….. http://crooksandliars.com/blue-texan/ayn-rand-fanboy-paul-ryan-now-says-he-r » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 3:32 pm Well, this shouldn’t be a surprise. For-Profit Colleges Swell Ranks of Alec Members in 2011 “Mitt Romney, by the way, is a good friend to for-profit colleges, and they would very much like it if he were President. They’re putting their money where their mouth is, too. Gosh, I wonder why?” http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/profit-colleges-swell-ranks-alec-members-20 » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 3:19 pm Bito, probably, huh? But, maybe their filibustering might just start working against them with voters. I sure hope that people see that it’s keeping from getting anything passed and who is at fault of that! » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 3:05 pm Bito, that is a powerful ad! You know, they (Repugs) may just shot themselves in the foot with some of these restrictions on voter IDs. There are older people that vote for them, too. Dumb AHoles! » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 2:57 pm I am sure the President will after the Student Loan vote is over. He has the Repugs on the run on that one and it will be good to see how they handle this coming at them. » Posted By SallyT On April 26, 2012 @ 2:46 pm CL, I have a problem with one of those ads. The one where the couple are at the grocery store and in the vegetable center. He looks at her and supposedly gets turned on. Ah, I don’t see it happening. If it did, I’d have a problem with wondering if it was me or the melons. Mr. T loves melons. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 7:36 pm CL, if it is working right, that is the purpose. Up, Up, and Away! » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 7:17 pm Military Shift Donations From Ron Paul to Obama in March! [I]n March, it was Obama that scooped up the most support from the armed forces — about twice as much as Paul, in fact. Romney remains an also-ran when it comes to backing from the military. Overall, Paul retains the lead. Analysis of OpenSecrets.org data shows that so far in this election cycle, members of the military who donated more than $200 have given Paul’s campaign about $333,134, versus $184,505 to Obama and just $45,738 to Romney. But in March, Obama and Paul switched places. Members of the military sent $36,448 to Obama and just $17,733 to Paul. Even though Romney solidified his position as the presumptive Republican nominee, military donations to his campaign remained anemic — only $8,630. http://thinkprogress.org/security/2012/04/25/470851/military-donations-obama-paul-march/ » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Bito, I don’t know if you have seen this article but it points out something I didn’t know enough about and those interest rates. In reference to student loans: “Konczal pointed out that the government makes a profit somewhere around 13 percent for each dollar of loans, and because the loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy and Social Security payments can even be garnished to make them up, default may even be more profitable for lenders than borrowers making payments on time. There’s almost no risk of losses, which are the reason for high interest in the first place. Keeping interest rates low won’t cost the government money, it will simply cut into its profit margin a little bit. While the big banks that crashed the economy continue to enjoy ultra-low interest rates, there’s no reason to let the rates get any higher.” » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 5:42 pm KT, if I told you, you would think I was drunk. But, I wasn’t the only one that saw him. He is our family’s ghost that lives in our 100+ yr old house. Of course if I am drinking, he can speak to me…. 🙂 » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 5:31 pm Johnson & Johnson really can’t break with ALEC because of the Tort Reform Bills. Johnson & Johnson, sells a host of consumer products such as its “no more tears” baby shampoo, Listerine mouthwash, and Tylenol brand pain killer, risk tarnishing its image by renewing its vows to ALEC? What does it get in return for its financial investment, besides one-stop shopping for legislators at ALEC meetings and the chance to vote as equals with elected officials on “model” legislation, away from the eyes of the press and public? ALEC’s corporate bill mill includes numerous templates that make it more difficult for American families to hold corporations accountable when their products injure or kill their child, partner, or parent. Backed by Big Tobacco, drug companies, insurance companies, and other global corporations, ALEC has long been pushing changes to the laws, so-called “tort reform bills,” governing claims by people injured by corporate products. And, just this month, on April 10, a jury determined that a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary had downplayed and had hidden risks associated with the antipsychotic drug Risperdal. The Arkansas Attorney General is seeking fines of at least $1.1 billion for the 250,000 prescriptions of this drug that the state’s Medicaid program paid for over three and a half years. Johnson & Johnson is involved in other claims about this and other products as well. http://truth-out.org/news/item/8718-breaking-up-with-alec-is-hard-to-do-for-johnson-johnson » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 5:27 pm That’s okay, KT, I saw one, too, and I was on Pepsi! 😉 » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 5:11 pm More Americans Believe in Ghosts Than Believe the Supreme Court Was Right in the Citizens United Ruling. I have always thought Casper had more brains than Scalia. And, you can see through Scalia, too. Yet, Casper is more honest about it. A new survey by the Brennan Center for Justice shows just how out of touch the five right-wingers on the Supreme Court are. According to the survey – 69% of Americans reject the Supreme Court’s hard-right argument that unlimited corporate spending in our elections won’t lead to corruption. On the other hand, only 15% of Americans believe the Supreme Court ruled correctly in its Citizen’s United case. To put that in perspective – 34% of Americans believe in ghosts, 23% have actually seen a ghost, and 19% believe in witchcraft. That’s right – more Americans believe in witchcraft and ghosts than believe the Supreme Court was right with their Citizens United decision. » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 5:00 pm Mitt questions: http://www.truthdig.com/cartoon/item/oh_mitt_20120424/ » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 4:50 pm If you get a chance to watch this, it shows how ahead of everything Senator Obama (still running for President at the time). In fact they say that there were a couple of Republicans at the meeting with Bush, Obama, Senate Committee and McCain (who had called for the meeting on the financial situation) said, “After this meeting I might be voting for Obama.” Really shows how smart our President was even before he was. » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 4:31 pm Well, there you go. Good! » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 4:24 pm That is because Rush is hooked on downers. 😉 Oh, except for the Viagra…… 😉 😉 » Posted By SallyT On April 25, 2012 @ 4:23 pm Worth watching: FRONTLINE program “Money, Power and Wall Street http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/money-power-wall-street/ » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 10:58 pm Bito, this article says Romney still has problems with the TParty there in NH. “Presidential candidate Mitt Romney seems to be in a panic. This is likely why he has called a meeting in New Hampshire to try to secure support from the 60 percent who did not vote for him,” said NH Tea Party activist and Ron Paul supporter Jane Aitken of Bedford. “Romney is right to be worried. He knows 60 percent of us in New Hampshire didn’t support him in the primary and many of those likely won’t in the general either.” http://bedford-nh.patch.com/articles/mitt-romney-new-hampshire-victory-speech » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 7:54 pm Gee, I always wondered why they never showed his feet in all those pictures of him……. 😉 » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 6:14 pm And, then there are those other friends of Sean Hannity, like Bill O’Riley that claim the poor are bankrupting the entire nation. Gee, haven’t they talked to Sean about those on beans and rice???? http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/bill-oreilly-needs-tranquilizers-calm-down- » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 6:11 pm Sean Hannity has poor friends?? Well, they don’t go to bed hungry. They eat beans and rice. And, according to Sean, there are ways to live very, very, cheaply. Oh, come on, Sean, why aren’t you asking these poor friends to dinner once in awhile? I am sure they would return the favor and ask you to come to dinner of that beans and rice. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/04/sean-hannitys-poor-friends-eat-rice-and-beans.html » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Okay, who is going to make Ann Romney apologize for her wording to the poorer women that have to work???? Romney alluded to the fact that not all women can stay at home saying, “I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us.” http://thinkprogress.org/special/2012/04/24/469896/ann-romney-women-work/ » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 4:07 pm KT, I think you have to also consider that everyone right now is tried of all this with the Repugs having so any debates and how long they have taken to get to Romney when everyone knew it was going to be him long ago. They have worn people out right now. » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 3:39 pm Bito, thank you for posting that! Here is something else. The President admits that he and the First Lady just paid off their student loans 8 years ago: http://www.politicker.com/2012/04/24/president-obama-still-hasnt-paid-off-his-student-loans/ » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 3:34 pm New WalMart Greeter: http://www.truthdig.com/cartoon/item/wal-mart_bribery_scandal_20120423/ http://www.truthdig.com/images/eartothegrounduploads/cor_lk042412dBP-500.jpg » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 3:29 pm Wait, Ron Paul won Iowa and Minnesota Primaries? Is this a sign at how the actual election is going to go? I say that the media had better not declare anything for a month. 🙂 http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/ron-paul-won-iowa-and-minnesota-prima » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 3:20 pm I keep hearing that the youth enthusiasm is down like 20% for the President than it was in 2008. Are they comparing the same time of the year in an election year? Right now in this election year compared to 2008 Obama and Hillary Clinton were still campaigning for the position. I don’t think that this comparison is correct. Lets see the youth enthusiasm come this summer after they are out of school and not involved in their finals and graduations. I think we will see a difference in that percentage and closer to where it once was. I have a problem with this percentage at this time. Just me but thought I would share my thinking with all of you. 😉 » Posted By SallyT On April 24, 2012 @ 3:12 pm That is funny, KT. Thought you might get a laugh out of this one, too.
