Or does he believe anything? Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 4:07 pm Murph, not just the Koch’s but all the major corporations– because, in Senator Brown’s words, the get something out of it. Something instantly tangible–Profits, Power and Wealth. What do Dem/Libs get out of it, the big spender libs get higher taxes and what a warm feeling for helping those that have the least? Their wealth may actually get hurt, while the corps is helped through campaign donations. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 3:58 pm Sue, all you have to do is take Sheriff Joes actual words, videos, records, actions and who he pals around with to prove his racism/cruelty, that’s all, no need to add or embellish the story. Newt commenting on someone’s character is a joke in itself. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 3:20 pm The EPA is now using spy-drones on feeding lots and how they treat the waste concerning drinking water and Faux went into a tizzy over it. “Spying on citizens!?!” (corporations actually) That hardly seems legal, to make it a crime , but then it is the ‘smaller government’ Republicans and didn’t Oprah get sued by the beef industry? This thing of them putting a poison pill in everyone of their 30+ jobs bills is such a fraud. Then they hold a presser, praise their bills, frame the story, and never say a word about the health and safety deregs in the bills. My nurse just said that they aren’t Republicans/Conservatives, their some kind of (while making a cringing expression) some sort of rabid, obsessed people not caring about others health. She’s not even a newsie, but she can see right through them. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 3:12 pm Quiz me this: Did your local paper/news have anything on D-Day in their paper? Mine didn’t. I lit a candle. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 2:07 pm 15 feet tall, electrified and with gator filled moats? » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 2:02 pm k’es, I drool with envy even thinking about having a senator like Sherrod Brown instead of John McCain, what was he doing today; calling out for war with Syria? Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Reporting on the stock market by the MSM is like what they do with most news, simplify and dumb down. You can’t just pick the one data point, the one that “proves” your premise and call it fact. The market rises and falls daily from multiple points, many not even reported. What happened to the price of rare earth minerals the day Walker won? I don’t know, but was that a data point? China did adjust their monetary/interest rate, was that a factor? Like I suggest, Walker’s winning as a single factor? Meh. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 2:00 pm Drill, baby, drill (and BTW, get rid of all those environmental laws/regs.) House GOP Unveil Energy Package Of 7 Bills Mandating More Drilling And Rolling Back Public Health Standards Yesterday, House Republicans led by Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) unveiled the “Domestic Energy and Jobs Act.” It combines seven bills passed by House committees that include measures to block public health safeguards from smog and toxic air pollution, mandate drilling public lands, and punish citizens for raising concerns about harm from oil and gas production on places owned by all Americans. It is specifically designed to increase oil and gas development. More drilling less regs required? – Oil and gas production in the United States is the highest since 1998 – Oil imports are at their lowest since 1997 – There are more drilling rigs in the United States than the rest of the world combined – Associated Press research concluded that there is “no statistical correlation between how much oil comes out of U.S. wells and the price at the pump.” – Oil and gas companies are sitting 7,000 unexplored or undeveloped leases on public lands There are 30 some bills passed in the Republican controlled house that are called in one way or another a “Jobs Bill.” Every one of them has a component in it of killing/defunding a regulation on corporations which the house considers not debatable. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 12:09 pm “Voting for Walker on principle they didn’t like recalls”…. I think that we were misled, I was, that this is how the Walker campaign framed the recall early and often and I didn’t hear that until after the election that that was the main angle used by Walker. Group think news has me to believe that it was about collective bargaining, huf-uh, it was about the value of recalls and was it too severe “just because my side lost in 2010. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 10:30 am k’es, I question the rise in the market and the Walker win have little to nothing to do with each other, that may be someones spin but in the global markets it was but a blip. The markets had a large sell off, “an adjustment,” last week and they saw a buying opportunity. Add news from Europe and rumors of a QE3 stimulus by the Fed also fueled the rise. Walker’s win? Meh. PS: The fund raising against Senator Brown will probably top the money that the pro-Walker people raised, amazing. The really want him out of the Senate. » Posted By bito On June 7, 2012 @ 10:20 am 54% to 47% with 97% reporting, not bad when one considers 5 – 18 % voting for Walker on principle they didn’t like recalls and the 1-2% (?) robo-calls/ voter repression. » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 9:56 pm Exit polls say that 5% voted for Walker because the didn’t like the idea of recalls. » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 9:02 pm Barrett staffers are angry that NBC (and others) have made the call while people are still in line in heavily Dem areas. I have the JS online ht.ly/bo0hW up set at 60 second refresh and Barrett has picked up 2% in last minute, while Dane and Milwaukee have been barely counted. This still could be very close. » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 7:27 pm Still a lot of counting left, but so far NOT a good night for Dems right now. Money talks? » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 6:58 pm I like these Pew polls/studies and give trust them more than any other poll. I will look at this latter, fer sher! » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 6:03 pm Those robo calls have the smell of Karl Rove all over it! » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 5:56 pm They should make them all guess the number of beans in the jar before they are allowed to register! Too many voters can ruin an election in a democracy! » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 5:54 pm The woman who could spoil Wisconsin Updated: She is the nation’s most notorious election clerk — and Dems worry that she’s out to help Scott Walker For months, progressives have raised the alarm over what role Kathy Nickolaus, the nation’s most notorious county election clerk, would play in counting tonight’s Wisconsin recall results. Their fears were echoed by the pro-Walker editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, which wrote in April that Waukesha County’s voting snafus on her watch had “damaged her office’s credibility beyond repair.” In a closely watched judicial election in April 2011 – seen as a referendum on Scott Walker’s agenda – a seeming Democratic victory evaporated when Nickolaus announced she’d found 14,000 misplaced ballots from her deep-red county two days after the election. In April’s GOP presidential primary, issues with Waukesha County’s election computer system led to more delayed results, as paper voting slips were gathered from across the county and put up on the walls of an office to be counted. http://www.salon.com/2012/06/05/the_woman_who_could_spoil_wisconsin/singleton/ And from Karoli on twitter there are reports of a large police/sheriffs presence arriving in Waukesha. » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 5:26 pm I totally agree funnk and national Dems should take notice of this “old fashioned” way of doing GOTV especially with independents. This: 2 GOP sources say Dems/Barrett preparing lawsuit to keep polls open late in Dane & Milwaukee counties. GOP will fight it. via twitter » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 4:50 pm Much too early to be counting chicks, but it is confidence building. The one thing I really like is the great GOTV effort by the Dems and Unions. The old “feets on the ground” and red sore knuckles at the end of a day of door knocking. The only way to do it when being outspent 25 to 1, something to keep in mind for the fall. PS to all, keep an eye on our Twitter timeline, news is coming in fast and furious about the recall. » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 4:25 pm High Wisconsin Turnout Sends Republicans into Panic Mode Some Wisconsin precincts are reporting higher turnout than they had for 2008 presidential election. In Douglas County which went for Obama over McCain by a 65%-32% margin, turnout is estimated at 60%-65%. The Douglas County Clerk in Superior says that turnout could even get a little higher than 65%. Turnout is also high in the La Crosse County, which went for McCain in 2008, 49%-48%. Milwaukee, where Democratic candidate Tom Barrett is the mayor, has had to send in extra poll workers to handle the wave of voters. In Dane County, turnout is estimated to hit 80%-88%. This development has sent The Weekly Standard into full blown hysteria, and they are already trying to spin the increased turnout as not big enough to put Barrett over the top. […] The right has taken to Twitter to claim that this is evidence that Democrats are cheating and voter fraud is everywhere, but thanks to same day voter registration it is entirely possible to turnout go over 100% as people who show up and register the same day are not counted in the initial voter registration numbers for a precinct. In fact, CNN is reporting that polling places are running out of same day voter registration forms. http://www.politicususa.com/high-wisconsin-turnout-sends-republicans-panic-mode.html » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 3:19 pm Throw all those pre-recall polls out the window! Madison City Clerk: Turnout Is On Pace To Reach 119% A local reporter in Wisconsin is reporting record turnout in Madison. Turnout in excess of 100% is possible because Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration. The numbers suggest that many people are registering at the polls. Heavy turnout in Madison, a liberal stronghold, would likely benefit Democrat Tom Barrett. I am hearing the the same thing for West Milwaukee, which is a heavily Democratic section of town! Barret by 10% 😉 #WIrecall #WIUnion » Posted By bito On June 5, 2012 @ 2:59 pm On MSNBC, Congressional Experts Ornstein And Mann Offer Damning Indictment Of GOP’s “All-Out War” On Obama Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy http://upwithchrishayes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/06/02/12022764-sundays-guests-june-3?lite&videoDate=20120603 » Posted By bito On June 3, 2012 @ 10:40 pm That is some exciting news and it gives hope to many a young person and parent. » Posted By bito On June 3, 2012 @ 10:17 pm That’s what he R pudnuts say but foreclosures didn’t pick according to political party, it did hit people of color harder because they were most often “offered” the worst terms. One thing that has always bugged me, those fly-by-night brokers got their money first including all the bogus fees. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 6:13 pm Some funny stuff from Will Durst Mitt Romney: The Potemkin Candidate. “The guy makes a void look cluttered.” Another potential mine in the Road to Tampa is the struggle to keep Willard from hanging out with the wrong crowd. You know, other Republicans. Especially distressing to see him palling around with Donald Trump. Again, Like being photographed at a clown convention. No matter how hard you try, some of that white face is bound to wipe off on the shoulders of even the most ghostly of political shadows. Donald Trump: a man who is to sober judgment what chocolate covered marshmallows are to quantum physics. Fueling more fickle furnaces that suspect he’ll say or do anything to get to 50.1%, Romney refuses to criticize The Donald, even when the reality show host spouts further Birther nonsense. “Obama was born in Kenya.” No, he wasn’t. He was born in Honolulu. In a manger. Everybody knows that. When asked why he continues to press on with this discredited charge, Trump said: “People on the street tell me not to give up on the issue.” Donald, for crum’s sake, you live in New York City. People on the street also say “My tricycle sprouted wings and is made out of plutonium.”….. H/T @GottaLaff » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 5:43 pm Oh how the mighty (?) have fallen! 🙂 From presidential candidate to the ranks of the unemployed (with a congressman’s benefits.) “McCotter ends write-in campaign for Congress” “U.S. Rep. Thad McCotter on Saturday said he is ending his write-in campaign for the 11th Congressional District, a decision that ends his re-election bid in a week that that began with the Secretary of State’s office determining he was ineligible for the Aug. 7 primary ballot with widespread invalid and tampered petition signatures.” http://electionlawblog.org/?p=35104 “I have ended my write-in campaign in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District,” McCotter said in a statement released Saturday afternoon. With about 87 percent of his nominating petitions tossed, McCotter, a five-time congressman, didn’t meet the minimum number of 1,000 signatures to get his name on the ballot. The Michigan attorney general is investigating the suspect signatures. From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120602/POLITICS01/206020388#ixzz1wgM8GxJQ » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 4:38 pm I certainly wouldn’t call this breaking news, Sally. I would imagine they started thinking about what they had to do about a court challenge when they were writing the bill. I do like the last line: “Republicans still have no idea what their strategy will be.” If it’s overturned and people realize what they lost/will lose, the R’s will be having to explain and attempt to throw together an HC bill of their own– and will pass congress. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 2:28 pm I hope that the President puts this Truman do-nothing congress argument in his reelection quiver and uses at least twice a week. As I mentioned earlier, there may not a better time to build/rebuild our transportation/infrastructure on the cheap using an infrastructure bank funded by the Euros coming into the country. it would put millions of people back to work at middle class wages. What’s stopping it? The party before country congresspeople. That’s the only reason, get that black man out of “our” house. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 2:15 pmComments Posted By bito

Well hell yes, it’s not their private aquifer, especially when it’s next to vegetable farms.
National media made little of this, but the that was THE Walker campaign.
Exit polls give Obama a +7 over Romney.

While your one liner on “the Kochs, Rove, Romney and the rest of the GOP” is quite funny, many thanks to the ones that do volunteer for clinical trials, they do it for the future.
