Is it ‘Possible’?, that the GOP has not had a ‘Nomal’ convention since the ‘ENRON’ convention and that the main themes have all had to been avoided due to conflicts of the “theme?” Just all white toasted bread and Mylar balloons? Amazing! No scandals, no climate changes, no Iran/Iraq shake-up-ups……? The list goes on….? Convention, Scandal, Cover-Up, Mylar…. Seems the money maybe Mylar! » Posted By bito On August 27, 2012 @ 8:56 am Dear Planeteers, I’m sure you’ve heard about Mitt Romney’s refusal to release multiple years of tax returns — a tradition that all viable presidential candidates have followed since Romney’s father set a precedent in 1968. On Friday, President Obama’s campaign manager Jim Messina sent the Romney campaign a letter offering a compromise: Release just five years of tax returns and, in exchange, the Obama campaign would stop criticizing Romney for his lack of transparency on the subject. I’ve just co-signed Messina’s letter because it’s unacceptable that Mitt Romney expects us to put him in charge of our taxes, but he refuses to be transparent to us about his. Will you join me? https://my.barackobama.com/release-the-returns-share Thanks, bito » Posted By bito On August 19, 2012 @ 8:43 am President Obama: “We’ve Come Too Far to Turn Back Now.” Help build this campaign: http://OFA.BO/nHAK2p » Posted By bito On August 19, 2012 @ 4:32 am k’es,that was a good column by Ms. Dowd, and thanks for noticing it off our twitter time line, an extra bonus, we’ll have to figure out a bonus system one of these days, or not! 😉 It seems the paper doesn’t fully appreciate either Romney’s or Ryan’s opinion on Medicare. Perhaps that’s wrong, they’re just not sure what their position is. Republican attacks on President Obama’s plans for Medicare are growing more heated and inaccurate by the day. Both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan made statements last week implying that the Affordable Care Act would eviscerate Medicare when in fact the law should shore up the program’s finances. Both men have also twisted themselves into knots to distance themselves from previous positions, so that voters can no longer believe anything they say. Last week, both insisted that they would save Medicare by pumping a huge amount of money into the program, a bizarre turnaround for supposed fiscal conservatives out to rein in federal spending. One thing that can be said, a close eye needs to be kept on Ryan in the future! Edit: One thing I do need a verification on, because I can’t believe she said. Did Ann Romney actually say that fewer women were running for office because they didn’t want to do tax disclosures on the earned income any more? Poppycock, balderdash and bull shit! Did she just make that cow cake up using whole shit or skimmed? » Posted By bito On August 19, 2012 @ 3:39 am Nope, not quite ready Mr.Romney, were not ready to fight your dirty little war!

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Voter ID Laws (
Editor’s note: This post, which was first published July 23, 2012, has been updated with new developments. Voter IDs laws have become a political flashpoint in what’s gearing up to be another close election year. Supporters say the laws — which 30 states have now enacted in some form — are needed to combat voter fraud, while critics see them as a tactic to disenfranchise voters. We’ve taken a step back to look at the facts behind the laws and break down the issues at the heart of the debate. I say and use the term “a wonderful personal gesture from helping my Dad during his last election, I was glad I could help him, and he was glowing from being able to “vote one more time when they attempted to make some simple tech adjustments on his voting many years ago.

NBC had no problems with calling Scientology a cult last night, however they wouldn’t even get close to addressing Mormonism as a cult or a religion, it seemed. Face it it’s a big money cult, always was, always has been since Joe Smith and this tithing scam!

He can like whatever bands he wants, but his guiding vision of shifting revenue more radically to the one percent is antithetical to the message of Rage. » Posted By bito On August 17, 2012 @ 9:35 am “Clean for Gene,” Khirad? » Posted By bito On August 17, 2012 @ 8:20 am ❗ AdLib, I don’t know who runs the website, but your right, whoever it is, they are some really smart people! » Posted By bito On August 17, 2012 @ 8:15 am says what what so many times?

Or what we call “earmarks” which we do! “After having these letters called to my attention I checked into them, and they were treated as constituent service requests in the same way matters involving Social Security or Veterans Affairs are handled,” Ryan said in a statement.

But since she had the nerve to speak out on behalf of Obama’s health insurance mandate for contraception – and Rush Limbaugh verbally raped her – Fluke is firmly on the Fox News enemies list. Enter Ann Coulter – with a black brastrap sticking out from the white straps of her low-cut dress – on Hannity last night. After her attack on a Romney campaign spokeswoman, The 50 or 48 year-old Coulter was ready for more of her childish streams of invective against liberals in general and, in this case, Sandra Fluke and single women in particular. Sean Hannity engineered the attack by playing a clip of Fluke speaking at an Obama campaign rally and asking for Coulter’s reaction – surely knowing it would be inflammatorily negative. Sure enough, she took the cue: I think it probably is a good sign that Obama is so desperate just to get the base Democratic voter – stupid, single women to vote for him. This is good news that he needs to lock up that Democrat vote. » Posted By bito On August 11, 2012 @ 11:09 am OBAMA CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON ROMNEY VICE PRESIDENTIAL PICK August 11, 2012 CHICAGO – Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina released the following statement in response to Mitt Romney picking Congressman Paul Ryan to be his presumptive nominee for vice president: “In naming Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney has chosen a leader of the House Republicans who shares his commitment to the flawed theory that new budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy, while placing greater burdens on the middle class and seniors, will somehow deliver a stronger economy. The architect of the radical Republican House budget, Ryan, like Romney, proposed an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires, and deep cuts in education from Head Start to college aid. His plan also would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system, shifting thousands of dollars in health care costs to seniors. As a member of Congress, Ryan rubber-stamped the reckless Bush economic policies that exploded our deficit and crashed our economy. Now the Romney-Ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same, catastrophic mistakes.”>/blocquote> http://www.barackobama.com/press/release/obama-campaign-statement-on-romney-vice-presidential-pick » Posted By bito On August 11, 2012 @ 6:48 am 😆 😆 😆 » Posted By bito On August 9, 2012 @ 9:24 am Joplin Mosque Burned To The Ground: Second Fire There This Summer The Islamic Society of Joplin, MO was destroyed in a Monday morning fire. “A blaze at the same building July 4 (pictured) caused minor damage and was determined arson.

Canadian regulators announced last week they would reject efforts by Canada’s right-wing Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, to repeal a law that forbids lying on broadcast news. [….] Canada’s Radio Act requires that “a licenser may not broadcast … any false or misleading news.” The provision has kept Fox News and right-wing talk radio out of Canada and helped make Canada a model for liberal democracy and freedom. As a result of that law, Canadians enjoy high quality news coverage, including the kind of foreign affairs and investigative journalism that flourished in this country before Ronald Reagan abolished the “Fairness Doctrine” in 1987. [….] Harper’s attempts to make lying legal on Canadian television are a stark admission that right-wing political ideology can only dominate national debate through dishonest propaganda. Since corporate profit-taking is not an attractive vessel for populism, a political party or broadcast network that makes itself the tool of corporate and financial elites must lie to make its agenda popular with the public. http://www.skepticmoney.com/fox-news-banned-from-canada-law-forbids-lying-on-broadcast-news/ CRTC ditches bid to allow fake news » Posted By bito On August 5, 2012 @ 9:22 am Again, anything could happen in the next 90 plus days, and after the GOP convention, Romney will probably, if briefly, pull even or ahead of Obama in the national polling, as usually happens after party conventions. But national polls don’t decide presidential elections. Fifty statewide elections do. And barring a major flameout by the Obama campaign, or a broad failure of his base to turn up at the polls, it’s likely that Obama will still be president on inauguration day, 2013 Is the election really over? » Posted By bito On August 5, 2012 @ 8:54 amComments Posted By bito
