And there is more!

Rick Perry channels his inner George W. Bush at the “Cornerstone Action Dinner” in New Hampshire – his “drunk” speech! UDPATE WITH FULL SPEECH!

k’es, the ” grinning, and mugging, and simpering and giggling” was struck me. And the sweetener’ was at the very end when he was given the maple syrup. He was like a little school girl. And this man wants to be president?
Truly bizarre.

Cher, that is some baggage! To add to it did you see this one?
Cain Smears Planned Parenthood: Accuses Group of ‘Genocide,’ Says Its Goal Is To ‘Kill Black Babies’
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/10/30/356754/cain-planned-parenthood-genocide-black-babies/


Both of Cain’s proof points are demonstrably false.

Cain’s statement about the location of Planned Parenthood clinics is wildly inaccuate. According to a study by the Guttmacher Institute from January, “Fewer than one in 10 abortion clinics are located in predominantly African-American neighborhoods, or those in which the majority of residents are black.”

Politifact previously evaluated the Cain’s claim that Planned Parenthood was created to “kill black babies” and deemed it “a ridiculous, cynical play of the race card.”

In 2004 and 2006 Cain led a radical group that produced radio advertisements accusing Democrats of wanting to kill “black babies.” Cain himself provided the voiceovers for some of the ads

This crew shoot themselves in the foot daily and they soon should be walking on crutches. 😉

Here’s The Bizarre Video Of Rick Perry That Everyone Is Talking About

The edited video of the Friday speech was posted to YouTube on Saturday by an anonymous user, and shows an extremely expressive Perry talking about his flat-tax plan and other issues.

One Republican operative who watched the video called it “strange and peculiar,” and said it could prove fatal to Perry’s campaign like Dean’s 2004 scream, another questioned whether he was on any medication.

Sue, If not Romney, who does George think is better in the GE or is waiting for Jebby (or someone else) to ride in on his white horse?

I moved it Cher. 😉

Good catch Sue, Gregory’s opening question was a loaded question and he deflected it quite well. “So, when did the President stop beating his wife?”

Any guesses on who said this?

Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable, he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate: Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the tea party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming. Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from ‘data’ … Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for THIS?

Em, Is there any major bill (except going to war)that the GOP has been bipartisan?

I agree that the Dems in Congress need to bring it up at every chance that the R’s are the Party of no. I have read that they are doing it more but the media still wants to blame congress as a whole.

RE: Sue’s post on the DOJ, because of the GOP in the Senate blocking appointments to the DOJ, I’m not sure that they are fully staffed even today.

Great post with charts and numbers via Sabreen on Twitter:

The Republicans’ Unprecedented Obstructionism by the Numbers

http://crooksandliars.com/jon-perr/republicans-unprecedented-obstructionism-by-numbers

This is just one of the very telling graphs:

One thing I often wonder about is the polls taken and reported are mostly on “approval/disapproval of Congress” and rarely do they do it by party in congress.

Watch Team Obama Define and Destroy Mitt Romney In 30 Seconds

The most impressive thing about Obama adviser David Plouffe’s appearance on Meet The Press was that he was able to define and destroy Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney in 30 seconds.

I thought that rubber bullets were supposed to be aimed at waist level or lower. Did they look that way to you?

k’es I’m not sure if his idea of “givers/takers” is more, transparent or baffling.

» Posted By bito On October 27, 2011 @ 6:50 pm

food, that is funny, “stealing the training treats. My last pup wouldn’t do anything, she just sat there, begging, because she knew I had more of those “training treats” in my pocket. 🙂

k’es, and he is thinking of not doing anymore debates because the time limits are too short for him? I’d say the opposite, the more times he has the bigger buffoon he sounds like.

With him, I’d make it a 13 lb 8oz’er 😉

KT, I saw this comment-again- and it still makes me chuckle:

” There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs”.

Paul Ryan didn’t read “The Lord of the Rings.”

I have often wondered exactly what Tim Geithner legally did or did not do as treasury secretary.

And as to your

But both parties have sold out and we’re run by corporations

I find a bit strange, seems to me that there is a party that attempting to reverse the corporate power and one attempting to increase and enhance their power. If they were both the same, why aren’t all bills in Congress just passed by unanimous consent?

KT, I really am not sure about Paul Ryan at all, his blind faith in the Ayn Rand religion is contrary to his actual life. His family spent some time in that ‘hammock” and he has been snoozing in it for much of his adult life, on the public dole working for government. Did he find is “Randism” through self loathing or hanging around with his contributors from the corporate 2%.
Who exactly are his “givers” and “takers”? If he thinks that the hedge fund folks, the Koch’s and other speculators are the givers and the person building a car or drilling for oil are the takers, I would say that is convoluted.

When he studied economics and the ‘history of’ I think he stopped at the feudalism section and went no further.

I know that this is dated but I had to post as an excuse just for the illustration. 😆
