However it does effect the US i.e the employment rate. Their struggles with their money rates gives the US a huge opportunity with the flow of Euros into the US for developing an infrastructure bank because money is so cheap for the US to borrow. And in time help Europe pull itself out of it’s doldrums. Sounds all so good, except for one small problem–Republicans in Congress. Remember austerity is the path that Romney/Ryan choose even though they can look at Europe/UK and see it’s not working. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 1:39 pm Did Scott Walker admit he was now a “target” of the investigation through his own actions; transferring 100,000 bucks into his legal defense fund just before Schuester broke the story? On Wednesday, newspapers reported that Walker had transferred an additional $100,000 from his campaign coffers to his legal defense fund, after an initial transfer of $60,000 earlier this year. According to Wisconsin state law, a legal defense fund may be created only by “a state government official who is being investigated for or charged with a violation of campaign finance laws or prohibited election practices” for expenditures “supporting or defending the candidate while that person is being investigated for, or charged with, or convicted of a violation of those chapters.” Total Recall: John Doe investigation in spotlight as Wisconsin recall enters home stretch » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 12:00 pm I still not heard or seen anyone else reporting this except David Schuester. He calls it his exclusive and his work product. https://wfc2.wiredforchange.com/o/8788/images/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-01%20at%209.23.47%20PM.png If this is true, I have always found David Sshuester credible, and it is reported by the bigger MSM it could have some devastating effects on Walker and the recall this Tuesday. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 10:37 am Weekly Address: It’s Time for Congress to Get to Work President Obama speaks to the American people from a Honeywell manufacturing facility in Minnesota about his proposal to make it easier for companies to hire our returning service members for jobs that utilize their skills and help grow our economy. » Posted By bito On June 2, 2012 @ 10:19 am Republican theory of voter suppression » Posted By bito On June 1, 2012 @ 10:42 pm Long Read: Covert Operations The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry—especially environmental regulation. These views dovetail with the brothers’ corporate interests. In a study released this spring, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States. And Greenpeace issued a report identifying the company as a “kingpin of climate science denial.” Read more http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/30/100830fa_fact_mayer#ixzz1wbIjmrEz » Posted By bito On June 1, 2012 @ 7:53 pm AdLib, I fear I have to agree with you and I find this one especially sickening. Not only is he Reps staffer but he names both method and target. If he isn’t fired (he won’t be)it’s open season. Remember, I lived less than 4 miles of the Gabby shooting (and if I had opened my email, I may have been there) and they said “Yeah, but he was mentally unstable” but he was also anti-Gabby and he didn’t need any explicit instructions from a staffer. This is a blatant threat! Some where today I posted a comment on a skinhead being elected to a county GOP REC and he has been convicted of violent raciest acts, what will it take for someone “on the edge” to follow this staffer’s suggestion? Call in the Secret Service and FBI on him! » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 10:32 pm food, I’m a half-full kinda guy (most times) however the 2012 election has all the potential to turn me into a doom a gloomer, that is how important I find this election, we can’t let this insanity spread. » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 9:44 pm Sue, “constitutionalist and a christian.” Two undefinable qualifications for running for office and a bit ironic since the constitution says that the shall not be a religious test to hold office. 😉 Fantastic that you are a poll worker, a supervisor, no less! » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 9:35 pm Sue, it has also long been a frustration of mine, too much divisiveness and lack of coordination. When I was active there were way too many cat-fights in the county DEC’s that I was a member. Liberal Dems, conservative Dems, Blue Dogs and Clinton’s DLC’ers. One I was a member of, a fellow called me “too hippie” 🙂 Some meetings we spent more time on our own arguments than GOTV and organizing for the next election. There is something about the ease of lying that the GOP can do, that I have never been able to do Like Will Rogers said: I don’t belong to an organized party, I’m a Democrat.” True 50 years ago and true now, I guess. Frustration! » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 9:20 pm Where is the Taliban? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector. “Let’s throw some acid at these female Democratic Senators” says a GOP spokesman.

Cured! 🙂 » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 8:02 pm Sue, agreed and agreed. I have heard that there is a new/same organization already being formed to replicate the most nefarious parts of ALEC being formed. One thing about the Koch’s, they aren’t short sighted, they have been working on zero corporate taxes/no regulations and corporate control of government since the 50’s–They cut their teeth on “Impeach Earl Warren” because of his socialistic ideas. They ain’t quitters! They don’t take their ‘eyes off the prize.’ » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 7:25 pm BREAKING: Walmart Ends Financial Support For ALEC The world’s largest retailer, Walmart, has become the nineteenth group to leave the American Legislative Exchange Council. Walmart’s departure from the right-wing legislation-crafting group is particularly salient because the big box chain is also the largest purveyor of firearms in the country. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/05/31/492732/walmart-drops-alec/ The real goal now is to get all he legislators to quit/ not attend their conferences. » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 2:00 pm Keeping it in the open? at least we now know where the GOP in that area stands. White Supremacist With Ties To Neo-Nazi Groups Elected To Pennsylvania County GOP Committee Republicans in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania have elected Steve Smith, a lifelong white supremacist with close ties to neo-Nazi groups and groups like Aryan Nations, to the county’s GOP Committee. […] The Southern Poverty Law Center has documented Smith’s participation with known skinhead organizations like Keystone State Skinheads, (now Keystone United) which he co-founded in 2001. And his racist activism extends far beyond violent rhetoric as well, into actual violence:….. [….] Luzerne County is hardly a small rural county either. According to the 2010 census, over 320,000 people live in Luzerne, many in the county seat of Wilkes-Barre, a large city of over 40,000 people. And in an interesting juxtaposition with the election of an anti-immigrant bigot, Luzerne County saw the nation’s largest county-level increase of Hispanics between 2000 and 2010. » Posted By bito On May 31, 2012 @ 1:51 pm Word is they are going to call it the “Galileo was wrong” bill or the “Developers Know-Nothing” bill, it’s undecided.

NC Considers Making Sea Level Rise Illegal [….]In 2007 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gave a hesitant estimate of up to 59 centimeters of rise —but even two years later that estimate already appeared low and scientists began to expect a rise of a meter or more.

Because otherwise it’s against the law. http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/plugged-in/2012/05/30/nc-makes-sea-level-rise-illegal/ There must be a lot of “illegal smiles” down there in North Carolina because they have escaped reality. 🙂 » Posted By bito On May 30, 2012 @ 7:44 pm @JeffersonObama My #Poll Tracker of 23 National Polls —- Obama 47.13% Romney 43.08% —Obama + 4.04% » Posted By bito On May 30, 2012 @ 7:18 pm k’es, I think all the yelling and rage is used to cover up their lack of facts.

The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama.

Of course he wasn’t sane, sane people don’t do this.
Keep them straight, Sue!
The Union was doubly frustrating. When I was working on a workers comp bill, I needed letters and a full 1/3+ didn’t know their rep or senator nor were they even registered. Instead of doing our door to door GOTV/registration drives, we should have made sure all our members were registered. That was a real pisser for me.
I was taught that there were 3 things one had in their wallet: Union Card, Voters registration card and drivers license, (oops 4, beer money 🙂 )
My guess.
