Displaying 301 To 330 Of 16,275 Comments Not one Romney has ever served in any military branch of any generation. Mitt in 2008 said his sons were serving by campaigning for him. BS. I don’t like chicken shit-chicken hawks, not at all! He was a bishop much later in his life. » Posted By bito On May 22, 2012 @ 5:33 pm fc, and that maybe why Mitt doesn’t want to get near Rev. Wright. Mitt was a bishop in the church and that opens a whole new can-o’-worms for Mitt. He may have had ‘uber special magic underwear! 😉 The Obama camp wouldn’t bring it up but you can be assured that some lefty bloggers would. What exactly DID he do as bishop? » Posted By bito On May 22, 2012 @ 4:42 pm BREAKING: Romney Announces Support for Corporations to Marry But Mitt has changed his views on adoption 3 times in the last 24 hours, maybe we will have to try and pin him down on this. Possible? » Posted By bito On May 12, 2012 @ 4:06 pm Funny stuff, C’Lady! 😆 » Posted By bito On May 12, 2012 @ 3:57 pm Funny stuff AdLib and a joy to read (does that sound like a book blurb or do i need “breathtaking in there someplace?

At least up to the national average of 50%, especially in the banking/insurance/investment/gambling bidness. I wouldn’t mind seeing a rate of 85% in that sector.

All three, a conglomerate? 🙂 Obama spending binge never happened WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree. As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.” Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future. Even Democrats seem to think it’s true. But it didn’t happen! I/we have seen this story multiple times, often with the same or similar graphs, online but never on the MSM and the GOP people are allowed to perpetuate their “Obama’s runaway spending” go unchallenged. If The President wasn’t saddled with UI (of course the R’s are getting rid of that) and food stamps, all caused by W’s near depression and financial meltdown, his spending would be even less. And last month’s ledger was in the black, first time in a long time.

Americans See Obama as Solid Favorite to Win Election PRINCETON, NJ — Fifty-six percent of Americans think Barack Obama will win the 2012 presidential election, compared with 36% who think Mitt Romney will win. Democrats are more likely to believe that Obama will win than Republicans are to believe Romney will. Independents are nearly twice as likely to think that Obama, rather than Romney, will prevail. http://www.gallup.com/poll/154670/Americans-See-Obama-Solid-Favorite-Win-Election.aspx I am getting a bit weary of polls and just assume that it is 50-50. Too many polls with different methodology, questions and sampling to make any comparison. The main thing for Dems, as usual, will be GOTV!

Victory Lapse On the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death, Republicans are unaware that the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex allows people the ability to store and recall past events. “A football stuffed codpiece.” 😆 A word about that “codpiece” that GWB was so proud to wear: It is part of the parachute harness and when talking to a friend who was in the Airborne. he said that piece had to be cinched VERY tight or some injuries were possible to a very sensitive area. He also said that if a jump was aborted that the codpiece was the first thing released because of it’s discomfort. Hmmmm, why didn’t it bother GWB, he even walked around with it cinched up, nothing there to hurt or just showing off? » Posted By bito On May 7, 2012 @ 12:36 pm New Romney Campaign Advisor is 8 Year Old Child I completely agree Sue, there was a time when politicians did not say a word when the President was in another country nor did they say anything when there was a crisis and the SoS was involved,and it usually is observed, or should I say was observed until PBO got in office. He didn’t even know the facts and he was running his mouth. Was he getting cables from the SoS? No! he was reading the bloody newspapers (more likely, his staff was) and that’s all knew. » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 5:57 pm Are you calling Mitt Romney a liar? Thanks Newt! » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 4:00 pm Put the chart and the numbers together and I think we have a winner! » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 3:38 pm The one thing that one has to remember that the public sector isn’t made up of just some bureaucrat sitting in D.C., they are our school teachers,nurses sewage and water plant workers, fireman, snowplow drivers–the workers that are he salt of the earth people that make everyone days a bit easier. PBO wanted more money for the sates and cities in the stimulus package and more for infrastructure but they were cut for the 3 Republican votes, a compromise. » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 3:26 pm Just one thing I want to know, was Dorfman the younger the point man that told Mitt to get involved in ongoing diplomatic problems (China) and politicizing them by just reading newspaper reports? Just pulling it out of his hat? This sure sounds like an 8 year old: “We’ve heard some disturbing things from across the world that suggest that, potentially, if the reports are true, some very troubling developments there,” Mr. Romney said. “If these reports are true, this is a dark day for freedom and it’s a day of shame for the Obama administration.” The reports suggest that “our administration willingly or unwittingly communicated to Chen an implicit threat to his family, and also probably sped up, or may have sped up, the process of his decision to leave the embassy because they wanted to move on to a series of discussions that Mr. Geithner and our secretary of state are planning on having with China,” he continued. “It’s also apparent, according to these reports, if they’re accurate, that our embassy failed to put in place the kind of verifiable measures that would assure the safety of Mr. Chen and his family.” Wow, if this report is true and verified Mitt probably may have or maybe not, stuck if foot or maybe more than than his foot into this what maybe a very sticky situation, depending if this report can be verified. Oh wait, what did Mr. Chen have to say? “I left the U.S. Embassy on my own free will,” Chen told a Washington Post news assistant who reached him by telephone shortly after midnight. “I wasn’t tricked into leaving. If I didn’t want to leave, I could have stayed, and no one would have forced me to leave.” […]“The U.S. Embassy helped me a lot,” Chen said. “I really appreciate their help. They did a good job. But I don’t think the Chinese side is obeying the agreement well.” Never mind Dorfman, you look a little ethnic! Are you gay? (Quotes taken from “”A dark day for freedom” turns into a black eye for Romney” » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 3:11 pm Those are some amazing numbers, when will they show them on the TeeVee? 😉 Oh, I forgot, we don’t talk about GW putting the world economy in the crapper, PBO should have fixed it all by now. » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 2:43 pm One of the problems so many talking heads do is that they point to singular points to make a sweeping conclusion. There are many reasons intertwined to get to a conclusion. But you know that already. China is trying to clamp down on their growth numbers to guard against inflation and Europe is still diddling around with their “Austerity will fix a recession” girlfriend not noticing that she is unfaithful. Both of those countries are our biggest customers and they aren’t buying. New house construction is still down and that cuts into manufacturing. Big corporations and banks aren’t investing, Republicans are obstructing any stimulus. All of those impede growth and I’m sure you can add another 10 to throw in the mix. My point may be that Government can’t control all of these but they could get on the same page. Short term stimulus works during a recession, austerity, especially on the middle class and poor doesn’t work, we have the to only look at the EU and UK and the R’s and Romney want to bring it to the US. While I am ranting, I really dislike when they compare this recession to those of Reagun (of course) Clinton and GW and how quickly they pulled out of it. Now what was you question? 😆 I think I went off on a rant. » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 2:36 pm And a companion piece: CHART: Economy Has Recovered All Private Sector Jobs Lost Since Obama Took Office, seems to be a Republican dream, more private jobs and the end to those (unionized)public featherbedders. http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/apriljobschart-1024×743.jpg » Posted By bito On May 4, 2012 @ 12:48 pm Weekend Music Thread – Deep Tracks Maybe not exactly a deep track-kinda, sorta- but I just learned that Stax bassist, Donald “Duck” Dunn passed away. Grab This Thing(Part-2) by The Mar-Keys on 1965 Stax 45. Stax 45 rpm record that is rarely heard on current digital audio formats or broadcasts Legendary Bassist Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn Passes Away At Age 70 » Posted By bito On May 13, 2012 @ 12:13 am Weekend Music Thread – Mean what You Say Robin Gibb, Bee Gees Co-Founder, Dead at 62 Robin Gibb, one-third of the Bee Gees, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer, his spokesperson has confirmed via a statement. Gibb was 62 years old. “The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery,” reads the statement. “The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.” » Posted By bito On May 20, 2012 @ 4:28 pm Injustice in America – A Petri Dish for a Virulent Culture AdLib, but as the OP-ED states, it is as much the fault of the MSM. Rarely do they report it that the R’s, the minority party, blocked another bill using the filibuster. What you get is “such an such bill failed in the Senate.” The MSM could if they wanted to make the word/action “filibuster” a chicken shit/low handed action and not just gloss over it as a common action. Shame the party that blocks even a debate of a bill via a filibuster. Remember it was an unusual vote and rarely used. Medicare and Medicaid weren’t blocked under LBJ and they were quite controversial. I lay some blame on the MSM. (Yes, it is a very good OP-ED!) EDIT: it might help if the MSM said that the R’s blocked debate and any amendments to the bill, not just that the bill was blocked. » Posted By bito On May 1, 2012 @ 5:24 pm AB, you have such a big heart your body can’t contain it. Lucky for us we get to share some of the overload. » Posted By bito On May 1, 2012 @ 2:59 pm AB, six Pulitzers? Is that all what does he do in his spare time? 🙂 That is astonishing. » Posted By bito On May 1, 2012 @ 2:47 pm AB, that was very interesting and helped me understand that Zell Miller should be behind bars. » Posted By bito On May 1, 2012 @ 2:05 pm Watergate, Dubya and now this version of the GOP are my three lowpoints. They don’t give a flying fig about this country and compromise is a four letter word. Looking at the number of filibusterers and going so far as to put the US at the brink of default are some of their lowpints. And why, because of “That Blackman in the White House.” » Posted By bito On April 30, 2012 @ 6:08 pm Sue, you may like this article and it fits right in with much of what AdLib is saying on the injustice and you only have to look the R’s for much of the reason due to the recalcitrance of the GOP and their hard swing to the right. Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem. Our advice to the press: Don’t seek professional safety through the even-handed, unfiltered presentation of opposing views. Which politician is telling the truth? Who is taking hostages, at what risks and to what ends? Also, stop lending legitimacy to Senate filibusters by treating a 60-vote hurdle as routine. The framers certainly didn’t intend it to be. Report individual senators’ abusive use of holds and identify every time the minority party uses a filibuster to kill a bill or nomination with majority support. Look ahead to the likely consequences of voters’ choices in the November elections. How would the candidates govern? What could they accomplish? What differences can people expect from a unified Republican or Democratic government, or one divided between the parties? » Posted By bito On April 30, 2012 @ 4:24 pm The GOP Cheat Sheet for Dissing Good News Do you mean to say: Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem. We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party. The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition. When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges. » Posted By bito On April 29, 2012 @ 3:37 pm Ha, wanna see real drops in GDP, Mitt, AOLHP, here’s a chart since you seeem not to have a memory http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/04/27/advance-estimate-gdp-first-quarter-2012 » Posted By bito On April 28, 2012 @ 2:46 pm Wanna bet the UK and EU wouldn’t be popping Champagne if they got 2.2% economic growth report for the quarter? Romney/Riley trickle on austerity plan would bring a double dip recession in the US. Would that make the Media happy? Give them something to talk about? » Posted By bito On April 28, 2012 @ 12:36 pm Another jewel in your crown, AdLib, great job! » Posted By bito On April 27, 2012 @ 10:45 pmComments Posted By bito

As much as the R’s hated FDR,during the Depression, they didn’t block every bill, they worked for the betterment of the country, not this Congress.
