Displaying 1,141 To 1,170 Of 16,275 Comments Sue, I just saw a guess by the wonkette saying the same thing, that they were thinking about divorce. http://wonkette.com/487573/trump-bombshell-ii-michelle-hates-barry-wanted-a-divorce » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 5:00 pm Thanks Sue, at least it’s been taken down, sorta, the damage has been done. You right people in their position feel that they have no need to apologize no matter how much they may hve offended people. Twitter is working fine with me right now, but that doesn’t mean much. It seems it can go down in different areas and not in others. Try the ‘ole refresh and see if that helps. » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 4:26 pm This from Raw Story: MSNBC host shuts down Romney surrogate: ‘I fact checked the apology tour… it didn’t happen’ But sorry I can’t give Mrs. Greenspan much credit on this at all, looks to me like former Sen. Jim Talent (R-MO) pretty much got his talking points in and Andrea’s “scolding” was pretty damn weak and ineffective. I guess her saying anything close to a correction probably threw The Raw Story off in to a tizzy since she rarely admonishes anyone. Watch and tell me what you think, does she remotely “shut down the Romney surrogate? » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 4:12 pm Like k’es, I chose not to look at the garbage that some believe is proper to use in politics. Well it’s not OK at all and Mitt should demand that is be removed and make an apology to the diplomatic corp in the State Dept. If he doesn’t, does that reflect what he thinks of them, the respect he has for them? Shame! » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 3:47 pm Nirek, I have absolutely no idea what the details are but you can bet it will be a whopper of a lie. Someone on the intertubes pointed out that the more Trump talks about PBO the better the President’s numbers get. I don’t know if there is any truth to that, but bring it on Donald keep making the R’s look like idiots. » Posted By bito On October 23, 2012 @ 2:12 pm Sue,he was quite the man who was far cry from any chickenhawks that the Republicans ran then and still do today imposing their hypocrisy onto the America people. Parts of some speeches that struck a chord that I saw today. That notorious speech became, to the neoconservatives, emblematic of American gutlessness. The neocons, then and since, did not pay so much attention to this line: “In 1968 many Americans thought they were voting to bring our sons home from Vietnam in peace, and since then 20,000 of our sons have come home in coffins.” Or this, in a reference to Nixon’s campaign of lies in 1968: “I have no secret plan for peace. I have a public plan. And as one whose heart has ached for the past 10 years over the agony of Vietnam, I will halt a senseless bombing of Indochina on Inaugural Day.” Or this: “There will be no more Asian children running ablaze from bombed-out schools. There will be no more talk of bombing the dikes or the cities of the north.” Or this one: “From secrecy and deception in high places; come home, America. “From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation; come home, America. “From the entrenchment of special privileges in tax favoritism; from the waste of idle lands to the joy of useful labor; from the prejudice based on race and sex; from the loneliness of the aging poor and the despair of the neglected sick — come home, America. “Come home to the affirmation that we have a dream.”
From “A Real American Hero” And now what do we have running against a very honorable man this year but another candidate with “secret plans” on what to do with Iran and Afghanistan along with anther secret on how to fix the economy. How did those secret plans work with Nixon? » Posted By bito On October 21, 2012 @ 4:29 pm Nirek, Yep, I kinda figured that was the case and lucky you to have such a good a thoughtful Senator who listens to his constituents. I’m not sure if a majority of Republicans from 1990 and back could fit in the Republican party of today without changing many of their positions… and that would include Senator Barry Goldwater. » Posted By bito On October 21, 2012 @ 9:41 am R.I.P.

They are are using taxpayers money to put out bad/wrong information and then say it will take them 2 weeks to fix it!?! Close to the election day? » Posted By bito On October 21, 2012 @ 7:27 am Looks like close to the same conclusion that k’es, C’Lady, KT and I (and others) came to the other day. Ask your self exactly how did this happen? Because Mitt flew off with some accusation, Fox reported it and then soon others were doing the lazy “reporting technique” with out having to do any work of: “According to reports at Fox… the Romney camp is claiming…” If anyone would have bothered to check, Hillary pointed out that at the end of all State Dept. reports, it was said that ” not all the facts are in and we will report then as they change. » Posted By bito On October 21, 2012 @ 7:22 am What a bloody fraud!

It will be fun watching the GOP fall all over themselves trying to justify raising taxes/cutting the rich. quite the name dropper there guy! He and I talked afterwards… 😆 » Posted By bito On October 20, 2012 @ 4:56 pm Nirek, This is quite the turn of events, eh? Almost what one could call an October surprise, except that i was proposed by Iran (will Mitt claim that it was Obama’s and he did it for purely political purposes?) Will Romney refuse to negotiate calling it appeasement and bowing to Iran’s “demands”, that he will only do it under his conditions alone and only his? Hard saying what his neo-con advisers tell him to do. His way or war? In other foreign policy news from today, did you read this?

Pretty cool stuff. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151175311708700.469469.40102638699&type=3 The original card: [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A5lI50oCEAAwR4s.jpg[/img] » Posted By bito On October 20, 2012 @ 3:55 pm BREAKING ❗ WASHINGTON — The United States and Iran have agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, according to Obama administration officials, setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran. But there are conditions and this is just the first one: Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election, a senior administration official said, telling their American counterparts that they want to know which American president they would be negotiating with. And what will Mittb say about this, how will he react? For what’s best for the country or whats best for Mitt and the GOP? It is also far from clear that Mr. Obama’s opponent, Mitt Romney, would go through with the negotiation should he win election. Mr. Romney has repeatedly criticized the president as showing weakness toward Iran and failing to stand firmly with Israel against the Iranian nuclear threat. [….] Moreover, the prospect of one-on-one negotiations could put Mr. Romney in an awkward spot, since he has opposed allowing Iran to enrich uranium to any level — a concession that experts say is likely to figure in any deal on the nuclear program. Beyond that, how Mr. Romney responds could signal how he would act if he becomes commander in chief. The danger of opposing such a diplomatic initiative is that it could make him look as if he is willing to risk another American war in the Middle East without exhausting alternatives. “It would be unconscionable to go to war if we haven’t had such discussions,” said R. Nicholas Burns, who led negotiations with Tehran as under secretary of state in the George W. Bush administration. (I was just working on a post to publish later today on foreign policy and the debates, looks like this calls for a big “nevermind, BRB” 😉 ) » Posted By bito On October 20, 2012 @ 2:47 pm Slowly but surely many of the Republican plans are found unconstitutional. Judge blocks Arizona law that bars funding to Planned Parenthood PHOENIX (Reuters) – A federal judge blocked Arizona on Friday from applying a new law that bars Planned Parenthood clinics from receiving money through the state to provide medical care because the women’s health organization also performs abortions. District Court Judge Neil Wake issued a temporary injunction after Planned Parenthood sued over the law, which would have cut off Medicaid funding for family planning and health services delivered by organizations offering abortions. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that provides health care coverage for low-income people. http://news.yahoo.com/judge-blocks-arizona-law-bars-funding-planned-parenthood-002128026.html » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 11:22 pm That’s hilarious, k’es! » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 11:17 pm The twitter page using the hash #Romnesia l » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 11:13 pm ICYMI: » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 6:17 pm k’es, I was unable to comment or to even check with the “smart people” at PPOV were thinking and saying when the attacks in Libya occurred. I couldn’t see then why or what Mitt had his panties in a wad all about, still don’t see it, yet the many in the media due. What am I missing? The way I see it is that the Dems and the Obama Admin should be the ones that are outraged. Within eight hours Mitt was blaming PBO for what? not having all the facts straight, collected, presented and the perps arrested. All that and it happened a half a world away under the foggiest conditions. I mad a Mitt for even opening his mouth about something he had very little knowledge on. And as you point out below, trying to use it for political gain and without even mentioning those that had fallen in line of duty. What was Obama wrong about? He and the Clinton State Dept. didn’t “have the mystery solved” live it was some TV episode? Even today I heard someone ask the question o’day: “Is Obama losing the Libya question and will it reflect on the debates? I don’t even know what the “Libya question” is let alone Obama being wrong! » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 5:30 pm A little fun diversion for the day: How to Sound Like the Bee’s Knees: A Dictionary of 1920s Slang “elephant’s adenoids, cat’s miaow, ant’s pants, tiger’s spots, bullfrog’s beard, elephant’s instep, caterpillar’s kimono, turtle’s neck, duck’s quack, duck’s nuts, monkey’s eyebrows, gnat’s elbows, oyster’s earrings, snake’s hips, kipper’s knickers, elephant’s manicure, clam’s garter, eel’s ankle, leopard’s stripes, tadpole’s teddies, sardine’s whiskers, canary’s tusks, pig’s wings, cuckoo’s chin, and butterfly’s book.” http://news.yahoo.com/sound-bees-knees-dictionary-1920s-slang-203421465.html » Posted By bito On October 19, 2012 @ 4:19 pm That’s not just surprising to me Kalima, I find it weird.

You’re right Sue if that;s it it’s pretty lame.
Remembering George McGovern.
That is supposed to clear them? They were just reporting what other “news” groups are reporting with out checking anything–without having to do any actual work.

“There’s ample evidence that abortion doctors on any number of occasions have deceived women into thinking that they’re pregnant, and then collect money for a procedure that they don’t perform,” said Rick Tyler, a spokesperson for Akin’s campaign. “And I say they don’t perform it because obviously the women weren’t pregnant.”
Since I’m a big ol’ lefty, I can attest to the fact that, whenever I get bored, I go in for an abortion. It’s a swell way to make friends and get a little down time! Why, I had two over the weekend because I had a few extra hours to fill. In fact, I’m due for one now, because it’s my way of contributing to the evil Planned Parenthood abortion mill specifically, and the economy in general.
