The Slingshots – Flying Saucer Baby Gotta love the “dirty” sax and “muddy” sound. Funk Yeah! Toe tapping sit-down-dancing music. I dare you to sit still and listen to this Johnny Reno – My Mistake » Posted By bito On November 18, 2012 @ 11:36 pm John McCain Demands Investigation of His Own Sanity Excellent take funk, excellent. His whole Mr. Maverick was part of the blueprint before he even ran for office, it was part of the “get the Senator Goldwater people” after first shopping for a state with a vacant seat he could run in and dumping his wife for younger, healthier and wealthier model. McCain was a package ready to sell. His being a poor student wasn’t because he was just that a poor student,nope, it was because he a maverick, his demerits and and poor discipline, same thing, crashing planes, you got it not poor pilot, maverick…… Might help he had two admirals in the family, eh? » Posted By bito On November 18, 2012 @ 9:36 pm AdLib, I totally agree 110% 😉 I don’t think he is senile at all. After he lost to Obama, many of us in AZ didn’t think he was even going to run and when he did run that he took such a hard right turn. Yes, there always loud anti-McCain faction in AZ, but they have never been that strong. Almost like JD Hayworth loud but that’s all, loud. We thought it was a joke that the national pudnuts were giving JD any chance. The election proved it. When he got elected, I wrote him and said that he had a great chance to become a statesman working with Obama his last term. hi legacy. You can see he took my email to heart and did the exact opposite. 😆 » Posted By bito On November 17, 2012 @ 3:09 pm AdLib, I stole that story from a RN who specializes in Gerontology mostly Alzheimer’s. She said it’s not bad to misplace your keys and forget where you put them, it’s a worse sign when you are consistently forgetting where you put them, daily or more. The real sign is when you find you keys and say what are these for? He came close to that when he asked for hearings, got hearings, then didn’t go to the hearings. Did he not know what the hearings was for, or what the newser was for? There seems to be something lose there and I think people are starting to hear something rattling around. » Posted By bito On November 17, 2012 @ 1:28 pm I’m afraid AdLib that McCain has gotten to the point where when he does find his keys, he doesn’t know what their use is? » Posted By bito On November 17, 2012 @ 10:53 am Wow Murph, you sure are putting a bunch of his past into the mix. Is this just for background sake or does all of this have some impact on his rude, grumpy and wacky behavior that has done nothing but get worse since he lost to Obama? » Posted By bito On November 17, 2012 @ 10:03 am What the GOP Would Have Said if They Helmed the Titanic Welcome eportlow to the Planet, Hope you enjoy it and become a regular. » Posted By bito On November 10, 2012 @ 12:21 am The GOP Attempt to Resurface…As The Tea Party Pulls Them Down This could very well be the poll that many R’s followed and why te election was so surprising to them, because I saw quite a few praising this poll before election day while ridiculing 538. He also bragged after the election that he was so very close to Nate, just about one state different! 😉 Mitt Romney 52 percent 342 electoral votes projected at UnSkewedPolls.com And this is the map that many R’s were following, I’m not kidding: [img]http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/7c/ab/7caba30758ef25ca706a54b4d500c622.jpg[/img] Now if you followed those two and fully believed them, I can understand why some were so very angry. I mean if i believed that the map and electoral numbers were accurate, I would be very angry also. » Posted By bito On November 14, 2012 @ 11:17 pm Where does one start with a statement like that Kalima, that voters of color suddenly decided to vote Democratic this time or that he is surprised that the R’s have lost their appeal to the people of color? Did he even look at the returns and notice that they didn’t do all the hot in the suburban areas too, like his own district? Seems he doesn’t think that the voter suppression didn’t have any backlash either, did he? Gotta love this” Some of Mr. Ryan’s aides said that as a candidate he had hoped to spend more time in poor urban areas to explain his theories of fighting poverty, and was restrained by his schedule. He gave an antipoverty speech in Cleveland, one of a handful of such events. Well I did give one speech, guess that wasn’t enough, huh?” Perhaps “those people” in urban areas asked the same question that workers living anywhere asked “What have the Republicans done for the working people, what have they ever done?” and decided to vote Dem? » Posted By bito On November 14, 2012 @ 6:39 am Of all the excuses that the R’s have given is that their polling was wrong. Really, their internal polling was that far off? Do the public a service and list who you hired, they should never get hired again. Or is it that they just couldn’t bring themselves to believe their own pollsters? » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 11:39 pm Interesting look at some of the Republican excuses of why the election was lost and in their words . If you think anyone took personal responsibility, “you be thinking wrong.” Conservative Explanations for Romney’s Loss (Saw this one coming, didn’t we? Proponents: American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer, Robert Walsh of National Review, Erick Erickson of Red State The American people are a bunch of lazy, stupid mooching jerks. Proponents: Robert Laurie, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Judge of the Daily Caller, Walsh again It was the media’s fault. Proponents: Rick Noyes of the Media Research Center, Walsh again, Herman Cain We didn’t really lose. Proponents: Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, Karl Rove We only lost because of Hurricane Sandy. Proponents: former RNC Chair and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, Rove again http://www.thenation.com/blog/171212/conservative-explanations-romneys-loss# » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 10:17 pm It won’t be easy, will it KQ? Don’t you think that there are many of the kinks worked out or partially worked out after so many different attempts on different bills. » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 9:47 pm KQ, you’re right the CofC will go all out for immigration reform and the lower wages are promising to their larger members bottom line. What they really like above lower wages is the guest worker provision and their ability to deport them with ease, like what we have now and that’s why it isn’t used by migrant guest workers–too easy to get deported. And that is what has to be watched out for in any new bill. » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 8:53 pm I knew I read the union story somewhere today, it was in the Morning Blog https://planetpov.com/2012/04/23/morning-blog-4/comment-page-1/#comment-192355 I realize that the anger is still there, AdLIb, I’m just not sure the organization is still there. Even they are becoming fractionated from what I see on their sites. The “Boston t-party” is saying that the “patriot party” is saying that That the “real Boston patriot party… We shall see, but I just don’t think the Tea Party is a cohesive as they were in ’10 » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 8:20 pm Good article AdLib and on your point of their mea culpa’s and getting fooled I’m not sure that that is going to happen anytime quick this time. The President said that hw will gladly go no a “50 state tour” over the budget and the cards he holds this time are a whole lot better than last time, the debt ceiling fiasco. He also has the Unions backing him from the start supporting and saying that they will back him as if it was the same as a campaign, they are ready to take to the streets, and they owe him, even though the R’s tried their best to cripple them, they did an outstanding job on the GOTV, ask the reelected Senator Brown. As for as the Tea Party is concerned, I think that they are done, stick a fork in the D-O-N-E, they lost a lot in the house though reelection, they weren’t, some toned down their rhetoric and others have been become more like blue dogs than rabid Republicans. And now they have lost their collective voice and been marginalized, even Michelle got a scare. 11 newly elected R’s refused to take the Norquist Pledge and close to 2 dozen R’s haven’t renewed theirs (who’s a poopyhead now.) Their caucus in the next session may be down to around 50, which isn’t huge. I say write em off after January. » Posted By bito On November 13, 2012 @ 6:48 pm The Media Empire Strikes Back (with post-election memes)! Re: Demographics being the cause and dumb remarks: This remark by Tucker Carlson had me wondering: “The country is changing too fast,” Carlson and Patel wrote in their election postmortem. “Most people have the sense that America is different demographically from what it was 20 years ago. But unless they’ve been reading the latest census data, they have no real idea. The changes are that profound. They’re also permanent and likely to accelerate. In order to remain competitive outside Utah, the GOP will have to win new voters, and soon.” That statement had me shaking my head and thinking that it may be the most idiotic thing concerning the election that I’ve read. There’s nothing profound and nothings changed too quickly—it’s over 20 years! To my knowledge there has never been a time in history where it just jumped 20 years Tucker. All the changes you are suddenly worried about didn’t just happen. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Edit: Now that I think of it, I may have been to harsh because some on the right have been living and listening that long in their right wing echo chamber. » Posted By bito On November 9, 2012 @ 3:45 pm While reading many of the reasons that Obama won and the Republicans lost is almost as fractured and splintered as the leftovers at toothpick factory. Bush’s Brain, Turdblossom–Karl Rove has gone though about 5-6-7 just by himself, some why the Dems won and some why the R’s lost. There’s Texas Republicans calling voters against Romney flesh eating maggots and calls for secession “Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist terms about their state,” Morrison continued. “We need to do everything possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years.” But that wasn’t before saying this about Obama voters: the state should have an “amicable divorce” from the “maggots” who re-elected Obama. […] “We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.” http://www.salon.com/2012/11/09/texas_gop_official_maggots_re_elected_obama/ Trump is calling for revolution and marching on the White house while you have TeaParty Patriots blaming their losses on ‘other ‘ republicans and or different factions of the TeaParty. Herman Cain, Brian Fischer of the Religious/Social Right and Rush calling for a third party. And the question: “Were Romney and the GOP too conservative or not conservative enough?” lingering around in the halls. I wonder if a “convention” of some sort won’t be called by one or two faction’s this fall, or will the GOP stumble along into the same party with just a minor adjustment? What will it be? A complete make over or a hair trim and anew pair of gym shoes? Something in between? It may be interesting. » Posted By bito On November 9, 2012 @ 3:17 pm I’ve thought about that too KQ and i like all you choices. Watching how he gets along with Bill Clinton I wonder if he won’t pair up with him for awhile? I like SCOTUS the best. Next question, what happens to Mitt, is his public life over? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 3:26 pm Is this just math that make you republicans feel better or is this real! 😆 Meagan (?) breaks out of the Fox bubble!!! » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 3:02 pm Sue, KT, that may be one of the all time lines that come out of the whole election cycle: “Please Proceed….” 😉 You need to teach it to your grandson, meaning Go ahead keep talking , I caught you in a lie/mistake….. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 2:48 pm I want a recount! 😆 😆 I know my prediction is ‘spot on” but somehow AdLib has connections with some counting software! Think about it! Who’s the man behind the curtain here at PlanetPOV? Right it’s Adlib! so we know he knows how right!…. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 2:37 pm When was that,Sue? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 1:15 pm I had a senior moment one time but I can’t recall what it was about right now. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 12:58 pm And as crazy as it seems, one of Newt’s advertisers is using that meme as a money making draw, I’m not kidding, I posted it in TO/OT the other day. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 10:28 am AdLib. in your post you made this observation, and as bizarre as that sounds the echo is bouncing around in the Fox bubble: MEME 1. Now that President Obama has been chosen by Americans to lead the nation, he must bow down to the Republicans in Congress and do the things that they want to prove that he is “bipartisan”. They really did say it: (at around 4:40) » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 10:25 am 😆 😆 Brilliant or the blind squirrel stumbles again! » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 9:55 amComments Posted By bito
They did that to the guy on “Car Talk (he has a masters in math from MIT). One week he was so damn sure about the answer of the weekly quiz, a math question, that he boldly declared that “the answer is two! It has to be two, it’s always two!” Needless to say the answer wasn’t two So whenever he get’s cocky and full of him self, they playback “the answer is two…..” as joke. Now we have “the answer is five” from k’es. 😆 Sorry, girl, I couldn’t pass it up. Maybe it’s not funny if you don’t know “Clic ‘n Clack,” if you don’t forget about it. 😉
Let’s take the long way home tonight…..
if he’s not senile, I can only can come to on conclusion and that is he follows the McCain code handed down from his grandfather, a black man can’t be an Admiral no way, no how and he lost to a black man the first to do it and he is pissed! That won’t do for the two Admirals!
And don’t take all of his past as the truth the whole truth… take bunch of it as this is campaign truth, the whole campaign truth……
He was also a carpetbagging ladies man who left his one wife for a younger richer model. They always make a big deal out of it that he has never expoloited his service/POW status when the complete opposite is the truth. Same thing with his maverick and bipartisanship labels, both pushed and denied as deed be according to how his popularity polls are doing. He votes party well into the mid 90% 5-6-7. He’s got his big standbys he pulls out when he needs to the Maverick. Perhaps I see him quite differently because he is my senator and I’ve seen some of his campaigning.
Romney was too moderate.
(Also, too many of them are not white.)
I like your revenue side, perhaps a fine when found guilty of abusing the new law added to yours, like you say, I don’t think that there will be enough to fund the whole cost but some of the costs that are incured now by the INS may not be needed.
Making the rules where workers can be easily deported (like we have now), makes it easier to keep workers from unionizing, joining a union or complaining about employment laws,(overtime, workers comp, unemployment…) The lowered wages is the gravy.
Labor Leaders Have Obama’s Back, and Are Ready to Help
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/13/us/politics/unions-offer-support-for-president-obamas-tax-plan.html
There’s no doubt that they can’t form a vigorous primary against any Republican, but it’s not just the T=Party that is mad at McConnell, so are the independents and Dems for him obstructing and not working with Obama. Mitch has a lot to be scared of in his next election. He lost seats when he was bragging he would take over leadership while he was occupied with blocking Obama.
I could be wrong, won’t be the first time, but I’m not giving them much power next session, will they cause much ruckus until January, not if they expect to get the committees they want this time, because they wii have to act like regular congressman and not the new kid on the block.
How many new voters are there over the last 20 years Tucker, they didn’t just suddenly vote this election.
Starts around 1:30
I just know my 3.89% is right, fess up AdLIB, you’re just after the big cash money grand prize aren’t you? 😆
Need proof of my numbers? https://planetpov.com/2011/12/01/time-out-for-ot-vol-18/comment-page-195/#comment-191351
