Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that’s how it’s done by the 1% it seems, no big deal. » Posted By bito On October 27, 2012 @ 4:31 pm First Lady Michelle Obama’s Plan to Get People to Vote » Posted By bito On October 27, 2012 @ 4:23 pm Some background on this snake who is running for President: A report on the gossip news website TMZ.com could codify the perception of Romney only caring about the rich and willing to screw over others. The story goes like this: Staples founder Tom Stemberg was in the midst of a nasty divorce with his wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan. Romney, a friend of Stemberg’s who invested in his company, testified in court that Staples was not worth very much. Staple’s stock was “overvalued,” Romney said in court, adding, “I didn’t place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company’s future.” [….] Romney’s testimony helped ensure that Maureen received very little money when the divorce case was resolved. But the controversy comes from this: “We’re told just weeks after the divorce ended, Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune. Short story — Romney allegedly lied to help his friend and screw the friend’s wife over.” And then there is this kicker: TMZ doesn’t stop there. They also report that as Sullivan was suffering from cancer and multiple sclerosis, Stemberg canceled her health insurance. The kicker is that Stemberg was then working with Romney as a health care adviser.
» Posted By bito On October 27, 2012 @ 3:12 pm A GOTV music thread message A get-out-the-vote PSA from Lesley Gore. Women constitute more than half of the population. In 2008, 60% of voters were women. It is estimated that 10 million more women than men will vote in this election. Despite this, women make up only 16% of Congress. Women earn only 70 cents to each dollar men make. Women of color and undocumented women make less than white citizens. Mitt Romney and the Republican Party are determined to overturn Roe V. Wade. Romney has not supported equal pay for women (The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act). Romney has vowed to defund Planned Parenthood. Romney has vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Romney doesn’t want health care to cover birth control. Romney says same sex marriage should be banned with a Constitutional Amendment. Women, let’s rise up. Our vote alone can win this election. A vote for Obama is a vote for your health and your right to choose. It is a vote for equal pay and equal rights. A vote for Obama is a vote for our families. It is a vote to marry who you choose. It’s a vote to start a family when you choose. A vote for Obama says that we won’t stand for violence against women and that rape is rape. Our vote ensures that our daughters will grow up with the same rights that we’ve had. A vote for Obama sends a message: This war on women must end. We will not go backwards. more>>> » Posted By bito On October 27, 2012 @ 2:17 pm Just to remind you people:
Ann Romney: “I get more tax write off for my horse, than you women do for your children!”Ahhhhaha And to put some frosting on top od that AdLib: Revised study: White journalists wrote 93% of front page presidential election stories, but… The overall numbers were more or less correct. The original version – which was published Thursday morning – said white journalists wrote 93 percent of the stories, while Asian Americans wrote 3.3 percent, African American journalists wrote 2.9 percent and Hispanics wrote .7 percent. The new version, published Thursday evening, lists these figures as 93 percent, 4 percent, 2.1 percent and .9 percent, respectively.

Just saw part of the eulogy by VP Biden, quite moving and the credibility that Senator McGovern had makes most politicians to today look like Pygmy’s in the moral and ethics world. He fought and was a hero in one war, staunchly against the Viet Nam war, but you know he was telling the truth when he said he would vote for a military budget that would keep the US and it’s service people safe, no questions asked. Not wasteful but safe. And you knew he meant it, he wasn’t a chicken hawk or a draft dodger like Mitt.

Dueling Visions » Posted By bito On October 26, 2012 @ 2:18 pm I do my best to find and follow some intelligent. hard working investigative sites but it seems I find a few every few/days weeks. To put it succinctly, Ohio had outsourced their 2004 Presidential Election electronic vote-counting network to a die-hard Republican working for Karl Rove. In the end, President Bush beat Sen. Kerry, but barely. Bush nearly lost the key state of Ohio, winning with 2,860,000 votes to 2,740,000 – roughly 120,000 votes short. Bush won the state’s 20 electoral votes, which pushed him ahead on the total electoral vote 286 to 251. But was the Ohio vote flipped in the middle of night with the help of Mark L. Connell? A number of independent journalists say ‘yes’, and if you doubt them, at least consider the evidence. Bob Fitrakis, an attorney, journalist and activist based in Columbus, Ohio, runs the FreePress.org website and for eight years has chased this story with journalist partner Harvey Wasserman. Now with just days before the 2012 presidential election, Fitrakis and Wasserman are working overtime. In their newest book – Will the GOP Steal America’s 2012 Election? – they wrote about what happened in the middle of that fateful 2004 night: I don’t remember ever reading this: In Ohio 2004, at 12:20 election night, the initial vote tabulation showed John Kerry handily defeating Bush by more than 4%. This 200,000-plus margin appeared to guarantee Kerry’s ascent to the presidency. But mysteriously, the Ohio vote count (being tabulated by Mark L. Connell’s GovTech) suddenly shifted to SmarTech in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lo and behold, in SmarTech’s basement were servers used by the Republican National Committee and the White House. Fitrakis and Wasserman added: With private Republican-connected contractors processing the vote, Bush jumped ahead with a 2% lead, eventually winning with an official margin of more than 118,000 votes. Such a shift of more than 6%, involving more than 300,000 votes, is a virtual statistical impossibility. Amazing!

1. Global Rights for Women 2. Reproductive Freedom For a mind-bending trip through Romney’s lies, switches and obfuscations on pregnancy termination, check out a video by Slate’s William Saletan Mitt has pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, appoint only the most anti-women judges, and reverse Roe v. Wade . He has lately taken to pretending that he cares about contraception, a necessary part of women’s healthcare, and in the second presidential debate, he said he didn’t believe Washington bureaucrats or employers should tell a woman whether to use contraception. Don’t buy it. Mitt backs the Blunt Amendment , which would allow employers to refuse to cover things like – contraceptives. To see the rest with some details, please go to the article at: 3. Equal Pay for Women 4. Social Security 5. Work/Family Balance 6. Binder Full of Bullshit » Posted By bito On October 24, 2012 @ 4:37 pm KQ, And the disturbing part about that is it will be considered “just another lie” from Romney and his crew and that hurts to even think about it. As you mentioned in your reply to me on a different thread ( https://planetpov.com/2012/10/22/live-chat-tonight-600-pm-pst-the-final-obama-romney-debate/comment-page-1/#comment-190807 )Mitt is on way to making Nixon look like an honest pol. Nixon’s dishonesty really didn’t show it’s full colors until after he was elected and he ended up paying a price for it. With the Romney situation he has blatantly lied before he is even elected and forty plus percent are willing to swallow it to get the black man out of office. If he were to get elected and when he lies the first month in office, How can anyone complain? He can easily say “fuck you, I lied through my teeth to get elected and you didn’t care, you voted for me and you got exactly what you saw., Quit your bitchen…” » Posted By bito On October 24, 2012 @ 3:21 pm Another day, another GOoPster hearing God: GOP U.S. Senate Candidate Calls Rape Pregnancies A ‘Gift From God’ I believe life begins at conception.

The company, Armstrong Cable, operates in six states including Pennsylvania and the critical swing state of Ohio. The move comes just days after the Armstrong’s Chairman of the Board donated tens of thousands of dollars to the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee. The film, “2016: Obama’s America,” has been widely panned by fact checkers. Written and narrated by conservative author Dinesh D’Souza, it claims Obama’s “worldview…was largely shaped by the anti-colonalist, anti-white and anti-Christian politics of Obama’s supposedly radical Kenyan father,” who was largely absent from his life. The point of the movie, according to a review in the Washington Post, is to convince viewers “that Obama hates America.” » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 5:23 pmComments Posted By bito

What a far cry from what comes out of Mitt Romney’s mouth. He has the honesty and statesmanship of an amoeba. His whole life is nothing but deceit. He hides everything in his life and that may be why he has no core beliefs, because he can’t and still exist in his little world. It’s impossible!

One of our members, Nomad, ran a 3 part series on Mormonism on his site and the more I read the weirder it got to me. Mitt says that the two most important things in his life are family and church. If he uses his religion for guidance in his governing —- look out!
You may like this one, it’s close to stand-up comedy from an ex Mormon:

I sure do wish I knew about this group a long time ago:
CEO warns employees of ‘personal consequences’ if they vote for Obama
Mitt has vowed that his first order of business as president would be to reinstate the devastating “global gag rule,” also known as the “Mexico City policy” — a restriction originally hatched by Reagan that has been used to block federal money for family-planning work abroad to any organization that provided information, advice, referrals or services for legal abortion or supported the legalization of abortion — even using its own funds.
