Displaying 61 To 90 Of 16,275 Comments The Media Empire Strikes Back (with post-election memes)! I wouldn’t doubt that Rove keeps his spot as the GOP guru because he will spin he work just like he spins everything else. He will fall back on his ‘reputation’ while very few look at his actual results. Take away his dirty tricks, his spin and BS within his FOX bubble and his SCOTUS decision, what has he actually won or done? He’s raised a lot of money from idiots that have a lot of money, big deal. Wonder what the GOP’s cost per vote (a losing vote, I might add) was this year? The GOP shake-up will be interesting to watch this year unless they are dumb enough to not make any changes. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 9:50 am Now this is weird, what I wrote above is what I thought were all my thoughts, it had to be, because I hadn’t watched any political talk shows nor read anything today. Now I hear that my theory was what the Obama campaign followed and it was in the Wall ST. Journal today. Strange… » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 10:25 pm And if you recall, AdLib, Rove said that one of the Obama campaign’d biggest mistakes was them spending so much money (on ads) so early. Rove has the reputation of being a smart campaign manager and seventy-four percent of that is right–he has a reputation. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 4:11 pm Hello Kalima, I just got home from the Country Club so I may be interrupting or off on my comment. The majority of Obama and the Union’s early ads, which I agree proved to be brilliant were ads framing Romney as big money liar, thief of pensions and jobs and scoundrel. They drew the picture of him in voters minds before he could. Of course the “Belt-Way” crowd wanted them to stop picking on him and his equity funds and his vulture capitalism. Not only was it a smart move to run them early, it was great that the Unions and his campaign kept using them against some of the big money Dems/Wall Street Dems. They painted the picture of him being crooked early and it stuck especially in the Mid-West, exactly where he won in the swing states. That’s the way I see it. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 3:45 pm Election Day 2012 – Open Thread Today – Live Chat Tonight! Nirek, I find the timing of it interesting, why after the election? Do they expect to find some secret and illegal plans on the laptops? A list of dirty tricks? » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 3:59 pm There is one main reason I want the reelection of Obama and Biden to happen and one reason I fear the election of Romney and nearly every Republican and that is HealthCare and I say this as a nearly complete selfish reason. I frequent medical facilities at least once and as many as four times weekly. I am not the only person there that is in need of lower cost medical expenses, better more coverage lower insurance and being able to be covered with previous medical problems, I see hundreds of people a month and with the passage of the ACA, it has given many people, along with their families, hope. I suppose my position is not that selfish, I have reached the bottom, but what the ACA promises people in the future is inspiring. To think of Mitt getting elected is almost too much. To see people sick and with Mitt’s plan without any hope is frightening. What is one to do when they run out of “Medical Stamps” like food stamps and unable to cover the total cost? Isn’t that what a voucher system is? Sorry about my rambling but the ACA offers so much promise and to see it suffocated before it get’s a chance to work, one might as well slowly suffocate the patients. We need four more years. Please! » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 3:54 pm haven’t voted yet? Here’s another reminder from [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A6vIKpRCAAAkR6P.jpg[/img] pic.twitter.com/b3oCxyNB » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 3:28 pm Can’t say I remember anyone ever calling him that, Murph, but he certainly needed more experience than he had to make the network. You’re right he does usually get run over by the GOP even after taken their position and I don’t recall any hard hitting questions let alone follow ups. How,s the turnout in your area? Any word? » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 3:14 pm Speaking of the Northwest: Democrats report break-in at Seattle headquarters Police are investigating an overnight break-in at the Seattle office of the Washington State Democrats. The office was the state headquarters for President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign and Democratic candidate for governor Jay Inslee. Police were called after a campaign staffer who arrived at the office early in the morning found a broken window and open door. At least two laptop computers were missing from the office and some property was damaged, according to Democrats. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014293430?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 3:02 pm Here’s another one in PA: Voting Problems in Pennsylvania I took this video with my iPhone while trying to vote this morning. This is in Union County, Pa. As I mention in the video, after I mentioned the problem, election volunteers took the machine out of commission and contacted the Union County Board of Elections. I just want to let others know this sort of thing is happening, and make sure that, no matter who you intend to vote for, your ballot accurately reflects your choice. » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 2:38 pm I don’t know KT, I have never used a touch screen ballot. If that’s how it works, it seems people would notice. » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 2:36 pm The article said that the machine was taken off line later, but at first the clerk say no big deal. I then called over a volunteer to have a look at it. She him hawed for a bit then calmly said “It’s nothing to worry about, everything will be OK.” and went back to what she was doing. I then recorded this video. HUH? Nothing to worry about? I wonder how many people voted on that machine before anyone noticed that it was flipping? I’m pretty damn sure I would notice something like that happening to my vote, don’t you? » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 2:23 pm Here’s the Video of the machine flipping votes, pretty freaky, if this happened to me I would be raising all hell.

The ungrateful snot. He reminds me of kids that were raised in Union households and enjoyed the higher wages and better benefits giving them a middle class life an eduction, then bad mouthing unions.

More snots that needed to be slapped » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 1:19 pm Cute story AdLib and reminds me of my parents, they took me in to vote many a year and the years they were poll watchers I got to just hang around a watch all that was going on in the poll. » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 1:11 pm Those are great Patsy has buzzy put them up on the twitter machine? » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 12:44 pm Yep, it is a handy and a keeper,AdLib » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 12:35 pm AdLib, looking at the videos and pics of the long lines from around the country, they look like most of them are in urban or mixed areas from just looking at the buildings and the mix of AA’s in the lines. It gives me more confidence that the early voting was mostly for Obama. An anecdotal observation from our twitter timeline tells me that the suppression acts have ticked off many blacks and they are making sure that they and their families are voting. We will see, but first glance, it looks good to me. » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 12:34 pm Another FYI: If you are seeing “official” early balloting results from Cincinnati that are being pedaled by RW site they are erroneous. Early votes not yet counted in Ohio A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning. It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet – by law counting doesn’t start until the polls close.

I had even posted a link to it last night about it being a major poll. But likie you said when Ohio poll was reported this morning, they didn’t even use their own poll! Instead they reported Ohio using another poll showing that is was virtually tied/within the margin that Obama only led by two. A word about Romney’s lies. Lucky for all of us, whichever side of the argument, Ole Mitt just obliged us by telling a new lie, prevarication or misleading one almost daily, he just couldn’t stop giving. » Posted By bito On November 5, 2012 @ 8:35 pm The Greatest Worsts of the 2012 Presidential Election – Vol. 1 AdLib, KQ, BTW: You may be interested in the fellow that sent us that tweet re; Lincoln.

Your child may not be old enough, but I have been seeing quite a few young voters celebrating their first vote on twitter. Not just their vote, but their vote for Obama. That’s great to see.
Gotta milk it to the last second.
I do remember some of the discussions we had about them in the very beginning of his campaign and some saying “Oh, it’s way too early to say much about his lies, people will forget it/them come November, and I remember some saying we have to keep reminding people or it has set the doubt in their minds that’s he’s dishonest.
And while the Dems have run a very good campaign, I can’t but thank Mitt for starting and then closing his campaign with lies. His biggest gift may have been his last one about Jeep, Chrysler, dem Italians and GM closing in the us and shipping everything to China. It ended up being one lie too many.
Had the media done a better job reporting his whoppers, it may not have been needed.
I have no idea how many more presidential campaigns I will see in my life, but his lie, then doubling,tripling, down on it will be one blunder I won’t forget.
One more day GOTV!

I just heard that over half of Mitt’s ads have paid for by PACS/SuperPACS many being as obscure as the one that did this ad. The Obama campaign’s ads, 1/3 of them have been paid PACS.
