You hold a presser and announce that “WATER IS WET! Walk to your office and Tweet or release an announcement: “WATER IS NOT WET!” » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 9:59 pm No, I meant the law suit, sorry I should have been more clear with my question. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 9:28 pm Boehner: ‘Obamacare Is The Law Of The Land’ Minutes later someone tweets on his account: Can this man be trusted? http://thinkprogress.org/health/2012/11/08/1168621/boehner-obamacar/ » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 8:23 pm Do you know anything else about this Murph? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 7:54 pm I don’t know, Kalima, I think I kinda like the grin (but then you have a spouse you ave to explain it to, I don’t. 😉 ) and I may wear it for a awhile. Yes, see a Senator Warren along with 16(?) other Dem women on the floor will be a pleasant change a I hope a strong voice for compassion in the laws that get passed. I still don’t know what the status is of the T-Baggers in the house, I heard some one say that 15 baggers either lost and someone guess the number to be around 51 left in the house (some got gerrymandered out, some had a change of conviction {more to it than T-Party} others, I don’t know.) If that’s true, it would be down from 87-8 people in the TP caucus. We may not know until after Jan 1 when they convene the new session. The number 51 is a nice number, 😉 that would be less than the AA caucus. That would mean that they have very little power! » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 7:47 pm First I heard about it Sue, I will check some local sources and see what’s up. Interesting. Thanks. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 7:05 pm They say that the super pac money didn’t do much to change minds, but then maybe it was the ads that they ran, this being an example. What if this ad had super pac money? Like you said the ad didn’t pull any punches, now put some nation-wide type money behind it? Difference? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 6:50 pm I can’t help it, just can’t! I find my self still having a small and silly looking grin on my mug when I hear anything on election returns. Not only the President Obama getting reelected to another 4 year term, but that after many months of hearing that it will be a struggle to not lose seats in the house that the Dems actually gained seats! Perhaps the biggest grin is the Senate! The number of seats that Dems had to defend was the largest it has been in many years and it will remain the largest. The next two election cycles the R’s will have defend more than the Dems, that’s the reason fir the grin, honest ociffer. 🙂 » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 6:11 pm Martin Bashir – GOP has learned nothing, forgotten nothing Nov 8, 2012 » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 5:55 pm Not that I’m going to bother or lose sleep over this but should we start the jail/death watch for Ted Nugent or is not until after the 2nd inauguration? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 3:18 pm Yep, those are good ones too. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 3:06 pm Patsy, you pointed out many times here at the Planet and Buzzy also brought it up on twitter and that was the how little climate change was even mentioned during the election. I never saw this ad, has anyone else? The most brutal ad you’ll see this election Much of the nation is still reeling from Hurricane Sandy. Our thoughts are with those who have been impacted. When Mitt Romney made climate change a punchline at the Republican National Convention, he mocked a real threat to the lives of Americans. We’ve turned this video into a television ad that is running in Ohio and Virginia right now! ……. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZENtH3psXl4 http://grist.org/politics/the-most-brutal-ad-youll-see-this-election/ » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 1:48 pm Anyone have any ‘fresh faces’ that have been added to the tube this election cycle? » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 1:11 pm Why do you dislike Porky Pig so much AB? Comparing him to Rove is downright nasty » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 12:35 pm I haven’t heard any of the pudnuts really say anything about Nate on the telly has anyone? Using his methods, MATH, sure ruins the horse race, at the wire, razor thin… and mystical magic mystery blather that the MSM has been selling for close to year. Can you imagine how knowledgeable the voting populace would be if half the time would have been spent discussing the actual problems, solutions, policies…. on the war, foreign policy, climate change, alternative energy, health care… than on the horse race aspect. Let’s go with a mathematical solution like Nate’s or someone else’s and be done with that portion of election reporting. Everyone in favor say ‘AYE’! » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 12:33 pm From the Office of the President-Elect: Smaller, Simpler, Smarter http://politicalwire.com/images/Screen%20Shot%202012-11-07%20at%208.16.28%20PM.png » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 11:47 am The more I think about it k’es it almost has to be “Sargent-At_Arms” doesn’t it? It would fit RNC’s stereotype of an Hispanic gangsta enforcing the rules, eh? That should prove to everyone that Hispanics are welcome to the party. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 11:20 am That’s a good idea, Sally we need a score sheet to keep track of how many left, number of employees fired, bushiness closing it doors…etc. » Posted By bito On November 8, 2012 @ 11:08 am What is it with this “traditional” talk, he a Bill O’Realy both like to use that term as if the traditions of the late 50’s early 60’s (the era that seems Mitt still lives in)were all that great. Some of them were, if you were a person of color or a woman not so much. The believing in Santa is a nice tradition but at some age one grows out of it. Poor houses were once a tradition, do they want to bring those back? » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 10:17 pm Yeah I guess so Kalima, they think that if they speak a little broken Spanish 101 or someone they know does than all should be forgiven and understood that you oppose the dream act. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 9:52 pm I’m fairly confident that these numbers shook up the Republicans that they will go so far as to elect an Hispanic the their national executive board, something like recording secretary or sergeant-at arms, can’t pick one a treasurer because … well you know why, that’s a lot of money. That should really show all the Latino’s that there are a big tent and are reaching out. Just look how well Michael Steele worked with the blacks. 😉 If the party doesn’t make changes they will be a minority party big time well before 2040. As a Democrat I hope they don’t do what they know what they have to do so that they become more acceptable to Hispanics (support and pass the Dream Act and Immigration reform….) that will soon put them out of business, as a humanitarian I hope that they do what is right for the good for the country and right respectful thing. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 9:43 pm Harry Reid Gets Set to Take a Flamethrower to Republican Obstruction Harry Reid is fed up and he’s not going to take it anymore. Calling out Republicans for wasting six weeks on contracpetion in the highway bill and filibustering at will, Reid said he is going to reform the filibuster rules. He also made it quite clear that the American people want the rich to pay more in taxes and we need revenue. Harry threw down the gauntlet, “How about six weeks on contraception in the highway bill, do they remember that?” Asked if he has plans to address the filibuster rules, Harry said, “Yes, I do. I’ve said so publicly and I continue to feel that way. I think that the rules have been abused and we’re going to work to change them. We’re not going to do away with the filibuster but we’re going to make the Senate a more meaningful place.” […] Republicans may not be good at math, but Harry Reid is. He knows that Dems don’t have as many seats to defend for another 6 years, whereas Republicans do. http://www.politicususa.com/harry-reid-flamethrower-senate.html » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 5:28 pm Another shocker: From our news widget: That’s the way the headline reads, now let me take a guess why before I even read the article…I couldn’t be becuse he said he would veto the dream act or the line about we’ll make conditions so bad “those people will self deport, is it? How about his support of the AZ law, it’s author and him saying it was a model for the nation, is that it? After just those it might be better to ask why Mitt got any Latino votes. http://news.yahoo.com/poll-latino-vote-devastated-gop-even-worse-exits-181922111–politics.html the poll concluded “Obama won by an eye-popping 75-23 margin” and that the Latino vote that “turnout equaled 10 percent of the electorate.” According to Segura, the Latino vote provided Obama with 5.4 percent of his margin over Romney, well more than his overall lead in the popular vote. Had Romney managed even 35 percent of the Latino vote, he said, the results may have flipped nationally. […] The effect was at least as dramatic in swing states, most notably in Colorado, which Obama won on Tuesday. There Latinos went for the president by an astounding 87-10 margin, an edge not far from the near-monolithic support he received from African American voters. In Ohio, with a smaller but still significant Latino population, Obama won by an 82-17 margin. And why did Latino’s vote so overwhelmingly for Obama it could be… “You’re not talking about an abstract immigrant, you’re talking about someone the respondent knows and cares for and may in fact be related to,”…. Some 60 percent of high propensity Latino voters say they know someone who is living in the country illegally. And the other percentage may have voted against the R’s because that even a full citizen could be stopped and detained until the “right people” got to see the correct papers. The “your papers please bill.” » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 3:16 pm Good analysis on Gallup KQ, Oh how the mighty have fallen. At one time the Gallup poll was the biggest best and brightest poll and news organizations went to them because trusted them. No longer does it seem that it can be trusted, more like they appear to be the poll that can be bought off by the conservatives. It is sad that there aren’t any repercussions because of their failures and not being able to trust them. There needs to be more publicity about their questionable work, as much publicity as is given them all during the election season when their poll is cited. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 1:14 pm KQ, thanks for posting this and the one above. I do remember that n the 2008 elections and the 2010 PPP got a the raspberries from many about their polling and they still always get the “they’re a Dem poll” from many, but when the singing and dancing is all over PPP has always been at or near the top. Now we see it’s true again. Luv it’s at the top and Gallup and Rasmussen is at the bottom. » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 12:52 pm That is amazing k’es. Then it was Prescott that started the long of them in office or running for office since sometime after after 1928? » Posted By bito On November 7, 2012 @ 9:31 am Swi8mming with them is the right prescription, I do know that! » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 4:03 pm All the twitter people, tweet these one by one all day long, can’t hurt, it may just get those 10/100 more votes. » Posted By bito On November 6, 2012 @ 11:07 am k’es, Kalima and others that missed The President’s speech, President Obama’s Final Rally in Des Moines Iowa – with First Lady Michelle Obama and Bruce Springsteen (40:32) President Obama Tells the Story of “Fired Up!

Martin Bashir has a message for House Speaker John Boehner: Let the investigation into the 9/11 Libya attacks proceed without the “Fast & Furious” tactics of Rep. Darrell Issa.
Romney vs Sandy
Off the top of my addled brain:
Joy Reid, Goldie Taylor , Martin Bashir, Dr.James Peterson and Ezra Klein. Anyone else?
“well it’s true he doesn’t show me any respect, but he does it in Spanish!
some days I waffle, I sure would like to see them out of business
Mitt Romney lost Latinos by unprecedented margins
— even worse than the initial exit polls showed
