The Affordable Care Act and the Supreme Court KQ, as I wrote in TO/OT 60+% of people don’t even understand how the law effects their lives. 80% of all people already have Health Insurance so the ACA Mandate wouldn’t effect them at all, however it, the ACA, would vastly improve their coverage. I completely understand and agree with your rant having watched most of the mark-ups. » Posted By bito On March 26, 2012 @ 9:36 pm Thank you and every one else that greeted my return. Consider my return as “part-time” for now however. » Posted By bito On March 20, 2012 @ 9:36 pm Happy B’Day C’Lady, and if I could gift wrap it, my gift to you is GOOD HEALTH! (and maybe a new hat 😉 ) » Posted By bito On March 20, 2012 @ 7:26 pm Huffington Post Openly Launches Campaign to Attack Obama AdLib, if you remember in one of our many posts on HP and/or Ariana, there was a Brietbart “leaked memo” on making a story “your story” when those two were together in the beginning. They even gave that “style” of “reporting a name. From the very beginning HP was looking for the ‘New Squirrel’ attepting to make it their story to generate more clicks. Did it get worse over time and make it more noticeable? Yep, they have perfected it but they have been always doing it IMHO. » Posted By bito On March 20, 2012 @ 7:42 pm My problem is that when completely bogus stories like this one one the new CBO report are reported on “serious” tv and Santorum declares it in a speech the same day that the cost of ACA has been doubled–it’s the same fiction as ““Obama is the Father of My Extraterrestrial Baby!”, yet it will be believed by millions of GOPers even though it’s a complete lie and Fox/Santouium aren’t challenged on such a complete lie. Obamacare Haters Angered by Facts http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2012/03/obamacare-haters-angered-by-facts.html » Posted By bito On March 19, 2012 @ 11:36 pm WATCH & LIVE CHAT: President Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address Heard a pudnut say this morning that PBO should have set strict regulations on the bankers before they got bailed out or as part of the deal and not wait for the Dodd-Franks bill. Huh? » Posted By bito On January 25, 2012 @ 12:47 pm Welcome vivificguy to PPOV, and yes, all your points have some validity. If you notice the very name of GWB is persona non grata in both by the Repubs and on the MSM. Saw this wag on MSNBC, who is a Gatling gun of Republican talking points, say “oh GWB is old news why bring him up, the recession is PBO’s.” Huh? How many years did they blame everything on Clinton, well more than 3 years. GWB is news. » Posted By bito On January 25, 2012 @ 10:53 am Night Nirek, I like to listen to speeches on the radio also, less distractions. » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 5:43 pm GottaLaff @GottaLaff RT @fivethirtyeight: Obama at 55.8% to win re-election on Intrade. The #SOTU could send that as high as 55.9% — or crashing down to 55.7%. Which is probably true, SOTU speeches have rarely had much effect on polls » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 5:40 pm AB, that was a little too graphic wasn’t it? 😆 😆 😆 » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 5:34 pm I did too Nirek, I had to clean a two story washhouse at US Steel, the chemicals used there were toxic! I had to wear long rubber gloves/boots and goggles! Newt thinks it’s easy, because he has never done it! He probably has some one to wipe his butt, let alone clean a bathroom. » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 5:24 pm Exactly AB, a photo! He was putting whites (socks and undies) the rest still goes to the dry cleaners! » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 5:17 pm 2012 State of the Union: Behind the Scenes

My suggestion: next time they forget the questions and just hold a “Yo Mama” Slam. Mitt, Yo Mama was so “country club” she wore hats! 😉 » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 10:09 am Another thing to remember is the payroll tax. With the money coming from “unearned income,” FICA taxes can be avoided. » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 10:00 am Nirek, » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 9:55 am Nirek, according to this author, yes, it is possible by doing what he calls “roundtriping.” Romney’s Cayman Explanations Don’t Tell the Whole Story http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2012/01/20/romneys-cayman-explanations-dont-tell-the-whole-story/ » Posted By bito On January 24, 2012 @ 9:48 am Sally, quick, do the math, how much of an investment would take to make 20+ million in one year? My guess, a whole hell of a lot! And then According to his 2010 tax return, Romney paid about $3 million to the IRS, for an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 9:57 pm For the sake of comparison, here’s what the Obamas and Gingriches paid in taxes: Tales of the 1040s » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 9:44 pm Mitt Romney’s tax returns shed some light on his investment wealth Mitt Romney offered a partial snapshot of his vast personal fortune late Monday, disclosing income of $21.7 million in 2010 and $20.9 million last year — virtually all of it profits, dividends or interest from investments. None came from wages, the primary source of income for most Americans. Instead, Romney and his wife, Ann, collected millions in capital gains from a profusion of investments, as well as stock dividends and interest payments. The Romneys gave away $7 million in charitable contributions over the past two years, including at least $4.1 million to the Mormon Church. Romney’s family has for generations been among its most prominent members. They sent somewhat less to Washington over that period, paying an estimated $6.2 million in federal income taxes. According to his 2010 tax return, Romney paid about $3 million to the IRS, for an effective tax rate of 13.9 percent. For 2011, Romney estimates that he will pay about $3.2 million, for an effective rate of 15.4 percent. That’s in line with his earlier estimates, but sharply lower than the rates paid by President Obama and Romney’s closest Republican rival, Newt Gingrich. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 9:31 pm That goes along with this tweet: When Newt Gingrich was asked what he’d have done with Terry Schiavo. Well, duh! He would have divorced her! Yep, I posted that earlier, but I thought it hilarious. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 9:03 pm Probably both, no reason that it was one or the other. Weird that they spent time vetting Mitt and only spent 39 seconds vetting Palin. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:53 pm I/we need to check into this: BWD @theonlyadult Tweet of the day. RT@AriMelber Romney gave 2 decades of his tax returns to the McCain Campaign for VP vetting, and then they chose Palin. Did Mitt have too much baggage on his taxes for the McCain staff or was he too moderate for them? » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:41 pm Sue, our page sure did, yours may latter, I’ve seen other tweets remarking on it. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:33 pm I think that this primary contest may last longer than any R wants. As KQ pointed out the other day, the longer it goes and the further right they go, the bigger contrast will be obvious when the have to get back to the middle for the GE. How many “beep-beep-beep” backups will the electorate be able to not see/hear? Meanwhile, over at Fox, they are complaining. LOLGOP @LOLGOP The lack of Vuvuzelas was un-American! MT @foxnation: NBC Muzzles Audience, Ruins Debate Not enough cheering about anti gays and Mexicans for them I guess » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:22 pm AdLib, have you seen our twitter page, the latest version? I don’t like it at all! » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:08 pm Are you really shocked about Gregory at anything he says? #pudnut! » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:04 pm Sally, I read a lot of tweets tonight, but that one really was Laugh_Out_Loud. » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:02 pm Only if he wants zero chance of winning. Those two have enough dirt on them to build their own island! 😉 » Posted By bito On January 23, 2012 @ 8:00 pmComments Posted By bito

Short term (3 years) Memory loss? It seems like the 8 years of GWB chip has been removed from some people’s memory banks.

Hey no reason to feel ignorant, there are many that people don’t understand, so many that there are dedicated sites just for that.
