Displaying 3,301 To 3,330 Of 16,275 Comments Good work Sue and thanks. I’ll have to take a look at that article. BTW, those are exact percentages. đ » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 1:58 pm fivethirtyeight Nate Silver Amazing, the anybody but Mitt followers will take people like Cain and Gingrich over him. I wish I knew if this poll was a US poll or a New Hampshire poll. Registered voters, likely voters… No link. đ Now that I think of it, I should scrub it đ » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 1:41 pm KT, they were pretty funny, weren’t they?

Huh? Their going to roll into Iran in their tanks and ground forces, what along with US ground forces? » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 12:39 pm Newt Gingrich may have done well, but he is a dog whistle only Republicans can hear. The press loves him because he abuses them and he seems like a more intelligent breed of bad candidate than Cain or Perry. Funny and true, the same can be said about Romney, the only reason he “looks and sounds” moderate is the rest of the class. » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 12:27 pm I don’t think that the immigration fluff-up by Newt helped or hurt his chances, it just generated more talk. I think I’m agreeing with KQ on this, the fix is, and has been, in for Mitt. Will the TParty/RR voters upset the Karl Rove/Chamber of Commerce voters in the primary? » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 12:16 pm From the news widget: Medicare chief steps aside in political impasse WASHINGTON â The point man for carrying out President Barack Obama’s health care law will be stepping down after Republicans succeeded in blocking his confirmation by the Senate, the White House announced Wednesday. Berwick’s fate was sealed early this year when 42 GOP senators â more than enough to derail his confirmation â asked Obama to withdraw his nomination. His resignation takes effect Dec. 2. http://old.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20111123/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_medicare_chief Amazing that after all this time in PBO’s first term he has never had a fully staffed executive branch and that includes some key positions. They won’t approve his staff, but when he uses “advisers” he’s called out on appointing “czars.” http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/nominations-and-appointments » Posted By bito On November 23, 2011 @ 11:28 am Who’da thunk?

And she’s “one wild and crazy girl.” » Posted By bito On November 22, 2011 @ 5:01 pm Can this be anymore wrong? đŻ The defense spending bill currently under consideration in the Senate would authorize the indefinite military detention of Americans suspected of terrorism, mandate indefinite military detention for non-citizens apprehended in the US, and make it almost impossible to transfer detainees in Afghanistan out of US custody. The Obama administration has already threatened to veto the legislation. Seems like to some, that just ain’t enough though…..Gotta repeal that Obama ban on torture! Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), who won her seat in the 2010 GOP wave, has spent much of her time in the Senate trying to militarize all counterterrorism operations and reinstitute Bush-era interrogation policies. [….] The amendment, which purports to authorize “lawful interrogation methods,” actually rescinds Obama’s 2009 executive order banning torture. It directs the secretary of defense, attorney general and director of national intelligence to adopt a “classified annex” to the Army Field Manual, complete with a list of interrogation methods that could be used by the inter-agency High Value Interrogation Group (HIG). Lawful, OK, fine, but whats that phrase “classified annex”? Key here is that although Ayotte’s amendment states the methods must “comply with all applicable laws,” including laws against torture, the methods under consideration are classified. Republicans reject the idea that the Bush-era interrogation techniques were illegal, and the Obama administration’s obstruction of accountability for Bush-era abuses means that there is no definitive ruling from the courts on which methods actually constitute torture. The amendment thus leaves a gaping loophole allowing for the return of Cheneyesque torture policies should a torture-friendly Republican administration take office. Can’t make up my mind on this,is this from Orwell, Heller, Kafka or is this a whole new creature, the Republican neo-con mind? Sure it’s legal, it’s the law, but only we now that it is because we can’t tell you, it’s classified. Trust us!

Fighting for Veterans Jobs: Keep the Pressure on Congress to Pass the President’s Jobs Plan http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LVo_3dttdnk Mike talks about the veterans portion of President Obama’s jobs plan — the piece that Congress passed earlier this month thanks in part to your work, and that the President signed into law today. But the fight for American jobs continues, and many in Congress — including almost every single Republican — still refuse to do the right thing for teachers, cops, firefighters, and middle-class families like they did for our vets. Here’s what’s next: After Thanksgiving, the Senate will vote on extending President Obama’s payroll tax cut, which puts $1,500 in the pockets of the typical middle-class family. It’s the provision that Mitt Romney called a “little band-aid.” But $1,500 wouldn’t be a band-aid for me or Mike McCarry — and probably not for you either. Our job right now is to make sure Congress does the right thing again. http://www.barackobama.com/?source=primary-nav » Posted By bito On November 21, 2011 @ 6:11 pm I guess I could lie and say I figured that out myself, but AdLib clued me in when I took over the twitter account. đ » Posted By bito On November 21, 2011 @ 4:21 pm KQ, and others: To copy a permalink to send or use on twitter is easy, right click on the time stamp under the name of the person who made the comment and click the “copy link location” in the drop down.

Meanwhile: How Republican Tax Intransigence Sank The Super Committee: A Timeline The notion that both sides share in the blame is an easy line for commentators to repeat, but it isnât true. Time and time again, the only thing preventing an agreement on long-term deficit reduction has been the Republicansâ absolute refusal to consider any tax increases on high-income households as part of the solution. Michael Linden and I created a timeline of major events in the past six months of deficit talks: And this is the last Republican proposal that is “fair and balanced.” November 11, 2011: Democrats agree to Republicansâ top lines including just $400 billion in revenues and $875 billion in spending cuts, but refuse to accept the GOPâs tax cut for the rich. Republicans reject it and make their final offer: $640 billion in spending cuts and $3 billion in revenues. The R’s turned down a deal like this: “a 83:17 ratio of spending cuts to tax increases. Republicans said no.” And the Dems were the problem for there not being any agreement? I’m glad they failed, bring on the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/11/21/373979/republicans-taxes-timeline/ » Posted By bito On November 21, 2011 @ 3:05 pmComments Posted By bito
I don’t like Bibi as PM, or his politics, never have and think of him as more of ‘The Problem’ as ‘The Solution.’ He is barely even the PM and except for his slim coalition with the extreme RW he wouldn’t be, so he appeases them to stay in power rater than doing the correct and just thing. His bomb Iran talk is 70% for domestic consumption and 30% for the US neo-cons IMHO.
Economist/YouGov poll has Newt with biggest lead yet. Gingrich 31%, Romney 20%, Cain 15%, Paul 8%, Perry 5%, J-Hunts 4%.
Thinking of all these debates, 95+% of what they say they would do as president can’t be done with out congress, yet they keep telling voters “This is what I’ll do as President….”
One of the best things that the #ows movement could do is have voter registration at all their sites along with how-to “teach-ins.”
Anyone have a source on what he said exactly?
Why do I say that? I was looking at some of the more establishment Republican sites yesterday, before the debate, and they all had as many “anti” Gingrich pieces at they did anti PBO pieces.
As always, it depends on the GOTV efforts doesn’t it?
Another, what should be a routine appointment, is blocked by the R’s in the Senate.

Last night, Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Bill OâReilly attempted to defend a UC Davis police officerâs use of pepper spray against nonviolent protesters. âI donât think we have the right to Monday-morning quarterback the police,â OâReilly said, âparticularly at a place like UC Davis, which is a fairly liberal campus.â
He didnât explain why the abuse of violent force might be more necessary or justified against liberal students. Kelly went even further in dismissing the suffering of students attacked by the pepper spray, speculating that itâs not that harmful because âitâs like a derivative of actual pepper. Itâs a food product, essentially.â
Great find Cher.
