What the Romney types fail to really and genuinely understand is that the people are not jealous of them. The people are not coveting the chance to sell their soul for vast wealth. The people want something far more basic.

They want the respect that comes from working a fair job, and being paid a fair wage for doing so. They resent being used as expendable pawns by those who dismiss the very livelihood­s of the working people as though they were flicking away gnats. The people covet the chance to live a decent life, take an occasional vacation, put their kids through college, pay their bills, feed their family, provide medical care for their loved ones, and save for a modest retirement­.

And here’s the thing – the people WORK hard. They are sick of hearing about wall streets execs sitting in plush offices and getting million dollar bonuses and whining about their losses, while the “people” themselves work their butts off doing 2-3 jobs just to pay rent and try to feed their children.

The people…w­ant dignity…­.and they deserve it.

For a second there when Maher was talking about bling and bitches in a hot tub, I thought he was talking about the days he spent swimming around in the semen tainted waters of the Playboy mansion grotto.
http://brocrastinator.com/dozens-of-people-get-sick-after-playboy-mansion-party

I was thinking about the bitches……….. but your thoughts were semen tainted water… sounds like something Marcus Bachmann would say ;-)

This is a decent point. Williard counts amongst his faults a wealth that outmatches his contribution to the whole. Independent of the venture capital mechanics, folks likely understand that he is not a creative man, not a bold man and not even a mildly special man. Mittens inherited a social position and an arc in time that demanded only calculation and occasional discipline. He reorganized people and capital in a manner that begat the greatest degree of benefit to those already flush with capital. He is a narrow algorythm hoping that election might make him man… A pinocchio desperate for the flesh and emotion he sees in others. The money should provide eventual succor but a real man he may never be.

Bill Maher definitely provides some good ideas for possible campaign ads in that clip.

Oh yeah. I am rooting for Newt.  I wonder if he would be the first president to have been married three times, or whether Calissa would be the first 1st lady to have been shagging the future president while he was still married to his second wife.

We’ve had 22 straight months of private sector job growth, jobless claims are down to a 4 year low, the unemployment rate now seems to be going down month after month, we’re seeing a pretty nice rebound in new manufactur­ing jobs, and there are good signs that the housing market is starting to come back. I dare say the path Obama has taken us down is working, despite the stalling by the GOP of the recovery. Mitt has no chance.

Why isn’t anyone asking to see Gingrich and Romney’s birth certificate? Or does that double standard only apply to democratic candidates?

First Bimbo, more like.

Did you really just post that with a straight face?

… which is why had the fountain spurts feeding the grotto pools laced with contraceptives. 

(If you’re in the business Hef’s in, you don’t think these things thru in advance, you go dow… uh, under pretty quick, for peter’s sake.

Yes… prove me wrong.

You say the unemployment rate SEEMS to be going down. Either it is or isn’t. It’s not. You say there good signs the housing market is coming back. Either it is or it isn’t. Oh, the fact starts have been down last 2 months? It’s no coming back. What are these private sector jobs? Do you consider McDonald’s a living wage like your Messiah does? Wake up and stop being a blind lemming.

You still didn’t prove me wrong…

I love how “facepalm” is the third iteration of response. LOL!

Is their Marriage open?

The GOP wants to stop the Messiah from spending money we don’t have.

It takes a certain kind of simpleton nation that fetishizes having a job and earning a living. It’s why the US is probably the most powerful third-world country on Earth. 

It’s also why your retard politicians keep calling the US “the greatest nation on Earth”. 

Don’t bring up silly things like “facts”to “conservatives”. they tend to go even crazier!

President Clinton handed Bush a surplus, Bush handed Obama a recession….. end of story

Even Mittens admitted that today on the Laura Ingraham radio show. So, she followed up by asking him why he argued otherwise in the first place, and basically he said, Ehh – you gotta argue SOMETHING. 

That’s the thing that has Republicans particularly in agonies over the presidential debates: yes, the Ging-grick has enough baggage to outfit entire states for vacation, but the suspicion is that the very first time Obama “zings” him with some line,  

Oh com’on Mitt, that’s not true & you know it,     

Mittens’ll break down and say,   

Heh heh heh heh I know I know, but this is a political campaign for Pete’s sake, I’ve got to argue something! Why else do think I did that ridiculous Who Let The Dogs Out Who Who song? I only did it because people expect politicians to show they’re hip to the jive talk. Look, I don’t even know any black people; even just being around Herman Cain makes me break out in hives. I do know some Hispanics, but only by their name tags. Why don’t people sink good old fashioned American music, like America The Beautiful? Look, I can’t sing, but I’ve been working on memorizing the lyrics, so I’ll just recite five or six verses right now, with commentary. Okay, listen up now, here it comes:

[Fellow Mediaite Heads, feel free to skip the rest of this - because when Mitt says smack like that - that he's about to recite the only song he can remember that doesn't have copyright, Mitt means it quite literally. So, if you read on, don't say I didn't warn you; & don't say you weren't warned if you ever think to yourself, Hey, why don't I go see a Mitt Romney stump speech today?]

It starts out so great: 
O beautiful for spacious skies,
Just like the skies today, okay maybe with a few less clouds and less buildings, but you get the idea.For amber waves of grain, 
Corn counts as amber waves, right?For purple mountain majesties
This is right on, if you haven’t been to any mountains, sometimes they really look purple, sort of. Above the fruited plain! 
Okay, I think that’s what they call “artist license”, because I’ve been to Iowa and I have a home in Utah and there’s aren’t any fruit trees there, so it’s some sort of metaphor.America! America! God shed his grace on thee 
And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! And then it goes on to the second verse, which has different words:O beautiful for pilgrim feet 
That’s an historical reference, to the first pilgrimsWhose stern impassioned stress
Apparently they had some tough times; some of them made it, some of them didn’t, but net-net, they did pretty well.A thoroughfare of freedom beat 
Across the wilderness!
Technically we don’t see highways through wilderness areas, but if that’s what you want, if that’s what’ll get me your vote, sure.America! America! God mend thine every flaw, 
This is a weak part of the song, in my opinion, because I’ll never apologize for America.Confirm thy soul in self-control, 
Thy liberty in law! 
I think this is mocking separation of church and state, something I spoke in favor of when I was governor but I didn’t mean it, I had my fingers crossed; you have to understand, those people in Massachusetts are liberals.  Here’s another verse; isn’t this great?O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife. 
Boy, that’s what beauty’s all about.Who more than self their country lovedAnd mercy more than life! 
And that’s words all of us can live by.America! America! May God thy gold refine 
See that? I don’t agree with Ron Paul on everything, but there it is, right there.Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine! 
Now – NOW do you see why I’ll never apologize for capitalism?That was great, wasn’t it? Here’s another:O beautiful for patriot dream 
Did you know the baseball team from my state calls itself the Patriots? And you know what? They’re a terrific team, they even won the Lord Stanley Cup last year. I’m a big fan & I follow them every day, well, not every day, but whenever I’m not shooting moose or varmints & I have the time. It can take up a lot of time to watch an entire game, you know, & you know – all the real action & excitement always seems to happen in last minute of the fourth quarter Oscar Robertson is controlling the ball. That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam 
Undimmed by human tears! 
See that? I’m not ashamed to say we should never apologize for our heritage.America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! Oh, now you’ve got it going; here’s another great verse.O beautiful for halcyon skies, 
Okay, I don’t think that means to refer to the kingfisher bird, or the hedge fund, at least I don’t think the hedge fund was even around in those days. It means prosperous – so it’s a message, that there’s nothing wrong with being wealthy, we should all be wealthy, and if we all made that choice, things would be a whole lot better. For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the enameled plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music-hearted sea! 
I don’t get that music-hearted soul part, it might be one of those artist licence things again, but doesn’t it all sound beautiful?O beautiful for pilgrims feet, Whose stem impassioned stress A thoroughfare for freedom beat Across the wilderness! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought By pilgrim foot and knee! 
Now this is a part I don’t agree with, I don’t think Americans are interested in bowing to anyone, but this song is pretty old, and people actually used to have to walk to places, so maybe this is a podiatric reference, which must have been a pretty lucrative job in those days.Oh what the heck, we’re right near to the end, let’s just push on.O beautiful for glory-tale Of liberating strife When once and twice, for man’s avail Men lavished precious life! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till selfish gain no longer stain The banner of the free! 
Those last two lines I have to admit bother me, because greed is, you know, or I think you all know; that’s a reference to a movie a few years ago, but that was fiction, not real life, not even based on a true story or anything like that. I think the writer really means we should work hard to keep our flags clean.And here’s the end with the best ending ever:O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee Till nobler men keep once again Thy whiter jubilee!  
What a message! What a song! “Thy whiter jubilee”; those are words to live by.

[Seriously people - four years of THIS?]

Face it Repubs you have 4 more years of President Obama…  The best family values candidate you got is already in the white house

Epic in the parlance of our time.

why don’t you and patsy just get a room and be done with it philby…

Possibly the worst politician in Western history

How bad are things in the republican camp when Newt is a viable candidate?

How bad are things when there is no challenger to the greatest Democrat sell-out in living memory?

need a Kleenex?

You called the GOP the “party of NO” and have talked about job growth. Let’s at least address these two points in relation to Obama’s position on the Keystone pipeline.

Not only is the GOP overwhelmingly in support of the pipeline, but SO ARE the democrats. Conservative estimates are that the pipeline will create 20,000 jobs. SHOVEL READY jobs. You remember how the president was so adamant of supporting shovel ready jobs? Where is he now?!

So not only do you have bi-partisan support for this legislation, no “party of no” here, but you’re looking at a pipeline that will create AMERICAN jobs.

NOW, because of Obama’s refusal to build the pipeline, not only is he refusing to act on a proposal that that has bipartisan support, he is refusing to create jobs in this country. For a party like the Democrats that talks about jobs being shipped over seas, you have a Democrat President who is REFUSING to let jobs be created here!

For all the talk about needing to get off Middle East oil, here is an opportunity with Keystone to further that agenda, and the President has said “NO!” HE is the person of “NO”, not the GOP.

Imagine his job approval and PR image increase if he said yes to a project that has bipartisan support and would create the shovel ready jobs for tens of thousands of Americans that he previously said he was working on and supported, AND we would get more of our oil from an ally like Canada!

There is NO GOP stalling of a recovery, as there is NO stall of recovery from the Democrats that support the pipeline. There is only the Obama “NO” to recovery by not allowing this pipeline and the thousands of jobs it would create.

Thanks to the Repubs and their clowns for the non-stop comedy they are providing the nation.

As long as there is no third party Obama will lose.  There is just too much good footage of Obama golfing while the country burns and Michelle going on Spanish and African holidays wasting public money for any advertising agency to screw up.

The Repubs are in a way lucky that all the bloodletting is happening now and it will be old news later rather than all the hair about Obama which will be exposed just before voting day. 

Of course Maher and his Real Slime show will do their best to pump up Obama but it will be a challenge.

Out Golfing and still got Osama… its over repubs 4 more years..

It was actually 6000 jobs but for two years so the GOP doubled that so 12,000 is the true total. I guess that their might be 4000 for each year up in Canada. But again why build a Pipeline for the Canadians when the Diesel that will be produced won’t be for sale in the US. It’s to polluting. Unless you want your children to grow up wearing face masks like they wear in China.

The Truth about the Keystone pipe Line:
1. Claim: 119,000 jobs would be created and $7 billion will be spent of the Pipe line.

Fact: It actually LOSES 72,000 PERMANENT jobs in exchange for 500 to 1,400 local TEMPORARY jobs. Another 2,500-4,65­0 temporary jobs would be created IN CANADA:

M>South Dakota = 333
Nebraska = 248
Kansas = 18
Oklahoma = 113
Texas = 470

Actually spending in the US: $3 billion. The rest goes to Canada.

2. Claim: 20,000 jobs will created in manufactur­ing.

Fact: All the steel manufactur­ed for the pipeline will be manufactur­ed in Korea. Steel fabricatio­n are the only manufactur­ing jobs that could created by the project.

3. Claim: The pipe line will reduce gasoline prices.

Fact: The pipeline will divert oil from the midwest refineries so it can be sold at higher prices in Gulf Coast or exported abroad. This will increase midwest gas prices by 10 to 20 cents per gallon. The extra transporta­tion costs will reduce jobs in the midwest by 72,000.

Not with any of the inept clowns the FOX/GOP are running. Obama is the luckiest man in the country with these imbeciles as opponents.

Obama won’t even have to campaign…all they have to do is play Newts soundbite ads…

The idea of a First lady who was a mistress for 8 years is as repulsive as it gets.

My daughter, who is 12 but still politically aware, said it very well when we were talking about who should lead us for the next 4 years; “Obama has been the best president in MY lifetime”.  So true…..do we want to go back to the people who absolutely destroyed this country between 2000 and 2008 – while choosing between a corporate fat-cat Mormon weirdo or a cheating 3rd marriage scumbag -  or let Obama have 4 more years?  I think the answer is obvious.

The GOP have ‘jumped the shark’ and should focus on 2016 or better yet 2020 and try to find some new blood that can relate to the average American not these lobbyist/Wall St stiffs and skirt chasers.

ROMNEY 2012

I’M RICH BYAAAAAAAAAAATCH!

Right, because footage of presidents playing golf always means they’re going to lose. George W Bush, Bill Clinton, & Ronald Reagan NEVER played golf as presidents.

Hey I’m not a weirdo, at least not by Mormon standards.

OSTL or maybe they could use your trailer? You don’t seem to mind when I give the business to your wife in there while you’re around. Of course you’re too drunk to notice.

Nothing wrong with selling out. I do it all the time.

Did you guys see this tweet from Rupert Murdoch:

“Romney tax uses long-term legal loophole. ‘carried interest’ makes all
fund managers rich. Time both parties stopped selling out to Wall S,”

http://money.cnn.com/2012/01/20/news/economy/murdoch_carried_interest/index.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fmoney_latest+%28Latest+News%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

P.S.
Will the Fox News sheep fall in line, now that Murdoch has spoken?

I would gladly give you my b.c. if I don’t have to release my tax records.

Do I really suck more than Newt? C’mon!

…Well put!!

There is a palpable appetite for Newt Gingrich by Republicans.

It’s Romney, Gingrich and Santorum. The last two, the right of Republicans would be happy with, while pragmatists think Romney.

…They are all flawed with baggage!

More like 3rd bimbo.

Calisa Gingich is a classy lady. I heard she likes i thru the backoor.

Note that the proposed pipeline is directly over the country’s largest aquifer which supplies groundwater to Nebraska and seven other states. This was a major concern and hindered the approval process. 

The XL pipeline is based on the Keystone pipeline technology and there were significant spills in the past with this (see for examplehttp://www.forbes.com/sites/os… ) 

More here: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/01/18/six-reasons-keystone-xl-was-bad-deal-all-along/

This simpleminded greasespot thinks you should make money by squeezing workers for their dues and requesting donations from suckers.

There is no doubt about it: Mitt Romney is the perfect face of the 1%. 

He does not work and gets the yearly wage of a MainSt worker in one DAY if it is true what I heard and  I calculated right.
When I immigrated to the USA somone told me, welcome to capitalism central. Yes, welcome to a country that blinds its people by boasting about being the land of the free. A groundless claim because one truth is not considered but valid. The rich rule over the poor and the borrower is servant to the lender, as Salomon says.

So what went wrong? You cannot serve both, God and riches says the Bible.

And in this respect the 99% of the USA are responsible as well. As long as they refuse to accept Christ as King of King, supreme lawgiver and head of all governments, they will not have a free society. Democracy is a smoke screen. It is ruled by the rich. Currently more than ever because of the huge national debt.

Watch: German preacher’s thoughts on 2012

“Bill Maher: People Don’t Like Romney…”

The only people Maher speaks for are the dolts that are buying Obama’s class warfare demagoguery and his fellow slimeballs.

It’s not just an Obama speaking point, the other Republicant candidates are using it too.  I understand that it sounds better when you say it’s coming from the Left.

Romney will become the poster boy for campaign finance reform.  The stories of how he made his money and is able to keep it are beginning to trickle out.  Read on… 
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2012/0120/Why-does-Mitt-Romney-have-money-in-the-Caymans-Two-potential-reasons

This is what an “informed” poster posted over at Business Insider – “Mitt Romneys out of touch but a self righteous Kenyan whos never had a job, lives like a king while the little people starve, his hideous beast of a wife vacations all over the globe on other peoples money hes in touch. Massive difference between mitt and the punk, mitt earned his money. Obama stole it then gloats about it.”  See the white guy made his money honestly;  the black guy stole it.  Yep, that’ll work.

The Republicans are screwed no matter who wins, at this point. All they had to do was find one candidate who is as sharp as Gingrich but doesn’t come with the baggage of years of hypocrisy. In a national contest, that should’ve been easy but somehow they completely failed. It’s true there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Obama, but when you hold him up against the remaining four candidates (really two, if you look at the poll numbers), he looks much, much better.  

The pipeline would create temporary American jobs and profits for a Canadian company.

What about landowners in the path of the pipeline? Conservatives say they value private property rights. Now they believe Obama should spread the wealth. Taking private property for Canadian profits and some jobs is redistribution.

Why can’t American corporations create green energy jobs?

Mark, you’re supporting the party that would lower or end the minimum wage, the party that gave us the recession after Clinton walked away with a budget surplus, and the party pushed the regulatory changes that led to the S&L crisis in the 1980s and the mortgage bubble. The Republicans promised that the Bush tax cuts would bring more money to the government and to the average person, when instead we’ve seen the budget go into the red and the disparity between the rich and poor grow. That was all by January 19, 2009, before Obama could do anything. Look at the numbers. Once the stimulus kicked in, the economy started to grow. 

You guys also derided the auto bailout, calling it a Stalinist takeover, and saying it was proof that Obama was a dictator. But the gov sold off its share and left the industry back on track. GM, for example, is back to number one worldwide: 
http://www.gobankingrates.com/auto-loans/gm-rebounds-bankruptcy-auto-industry-leader/ Don't get me wrong: the Dems can be awful, but you’re supporting the party that tanked the economy. 

…You’re right!

The Republicans can look past Gingrich baggage, but the country won’t. Far too much for a President…

…President Santorum? Maybe on The Simpsons. So that leaves Mitt ‘Well Lubricated Wind Vein’ Romney, whose politics Republicans are clearly suspicious about…

Right, because the hateful apparatchik we have now is not…idiot.

 http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m70/hugh_jardohn/Obamamilitant.jpg

Bill Maher is just another partisan political pundit who profits from making personal attacks. His net worth is estimated at $23 million which puts him in the 1%. He needs to pay more tax and help pay the debts of the nation that gave him the opportunity to do so well by not doing much.

I was in agreement until the Christ as King part.

Wonder if Maher cares about how George Soros ‘earned’ his money?

Yes he should pay more in taxes he said he did not mind either but you republicans don’t want that.

Dead Osama boners are so hot

1.  Soros isnt running for president.   2. Soros has has given over 8 billion to human rights, public health and education causes. 

They are not even in the same league. 

Soros owns Obama, so it’s relevant!

And the Brothers Kock own all the Repugs…

Did Henry Ford, Walt Disney, and Steve Jobs run for President?

We can go back to the Clinton tax rates as long as we can go back to Clinton spending levels. You ok with that?

23 million for a man who has had an entire career as a well known comedian? That sounds low. Bill O’Reilly makes closer to 40 million a year. Glenn Beck? 30 or 40 million a year. Even Hannity makes over 20 million a year.

You have to throw out the entire GOP congress then…

Newt is her backdoor man.

Good question? I love Bimbos. Just for fun.

And you have to throw all the dems out if we wanted to return to those spending levels. I am willing to bet, you would get enough GOP behind Clinton tax rates if we took our spending back to Clinton era levels. Something tells me the Dem’s would never dare to reduce spending like that.

Henry Ford sold vechicles to the Nazis.
One Hell of a great American!……NOT!

What does Henry Ford, Walt Disney, and Steve Jobs have to do with this?

Obama is giving American technology to China.

Brilliant, I could hear his voice throughout!!

I think Obama mentioned the need for more time to explore the ramifications of the pipeline, I think the Republicans demanded a fast answer.  So they got one.

The Republicans have had plenty of time to produce a viable candidate, the fact that they don’t have one is their responsiblity.  If you all think that Christie and Jeb  could save you, dream on.

Has anyone here heard of Ike, a beloved Republican president with an actual brain, who played golf twice a day?

Oh, now I remember, Clinton didn’t start two wars, that went a long way toward a balanced budget.

Fact : You can neither read or understand your own  your own talking points . It’s not 72,000 jobs it’s 72,000 person-years

Think Progress……. lulz
You’re not even a good parrot.

Clinton era gov’t spending was $1.7 trillion.  (adjusted for inflation 2.3T)
Current 2012 gov’t spending $6.2 Trillion.

Government has estimated the entire cost of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan at $3.2 Trillion dollars. Over a 10 year period That would be $300 Billion per year.

So if we lose the war costs this year that brings our spending down to 5.9 trillion vs the adjusted 2.3 trillion in Clinton era spending. Something tells me we are spending money elswhere as well.

Don’t get me wrong, the wars cost a lot, but they don’t explain the full additional annual spending we see. There is still a gap of approx. 3.6 trillion.

A member of the Romney family will never be homeless. His kids are born millionaires. There will never be the same opportunity for all. It´s impossible. 

The facts show that the advantage of being born to a big earning father continues with theirs sons in 47% of the cases here while in Australia it is only 17% or in Canada 19%.

Social mobility isn´t great here compared to other countries.

http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/2/7/45002641.pdf

Daddy was a dirt poor Mexican migrant. He got a job washing cars and eventually owned the business. No one gave him anything but the opportunity.  Nothing stopped your parents from taking advantage of the same education process. That’s why your who you are today. Unfortunately, that education process has drifted to social arenas and other useless diplomas like journalism.

I doubt it.  Maher is one of “those” people who thinks he is smart and he makes his living by making “smart aleck” remarks on television to an audience who worships anything that this bigoted jackass as to say about matters related to their own political predjudices.  George Soros is closed associated with the Muslim in the White House and therefore he is not on Maher’s hit list.  I will admit that Maher and others like him have a ready made audience that buys his kind of snarky ”humor” in the same way they buy anything put out by the Socialists and Communists who run the Democratic Party, so his limp wristed sick humor doesn’t really have to be in the same ballpark with the political jabs by Bob Hope and Johnny Carson to be accepted as “humorous”. 

Talk about a talking parrot,go back over to Faux Noise and drink some more WHINE!! The more diverse American population,who don’t reside in that conservative cave, have seen just about enough from a bunch of NO-NOTHINGS and IDEALOGUES.They can offer America ABSOLUTELY NOTHING,and believe they deserve everything.With all your tea baggers,America has figured out your long on mouth and short on substance.

ME TOO!! SHOCKED!!SHOCKED!! I TELL YOU!!!!!

I applaud Romney senior for his success as I also respect his son Mitt for being a savvy businessman. But that´s just anecdotal evidence.

My point is that your statement that everyone has the same opportunity is factually wrong. It´s a myth.

Believe it or not, my parents owned a business, too, didn´t do as great as Romney senior, but not bad at all and that gave me opportunities others don´t have. Again, that´s just anecdotal.

Look at the cold facts. There´s plenty of it to look at.

Zzzzzzzzz……….

Alice67 can read , MrPorkchops can’t .
You support illiteracy ?

That’s silly. Same opportunity? Mitt and the guy who is born into the ghetto? There are literally not enough jobs that pay a fair wage for our nation to approach full employment, so as a matter of math, or musical chairs, if you prefer, some people are destined for unemployment. Thus your premise is in error.

You don’t have all the information to make that judgement.  You need to look at the big picture.  The President is looking out for all Americans and doing what is best  for all of America.  He has shown sound judgement.  He can be trusted to do the right thing.  That is what you should look for in a President.

@SizannDiaz
You’ve come to the right place.
Lot of idiots will click here.

A-Men !

They say Reverend Moon has invested 2 billion dollars into right wing conservative politics over the past 30 years or so, with 90% of it coming from Japan, where Moonies tell little old ladies that if they spend 50K on a marble vase their ancestors will go to heaven. I’m thinking Soros money must be cleaner than that.

Destroying a countries currency is very clean.

Bingo. Bill Mahar was spot on as usual. A good show to boot.

Thanks for the link. Excellent.

It’s obvious that she doesn’t have the gag reflex.lol

Conservatives have this fancy notion that Americans get first dibs on this oil.Canadians are just using the U.S. for their refining capacity.Then onto the world market that oil goes.lol.

OMG George Soros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George Bush  4.6% unemployment. 5.3 % is considered full employment. North Dakota has full employment because they’re drilling for oil. As soon as Obama is out of office the employment will improve.
Being born in the ghetto isn’t just a black thing. They’re are white ghettos and now the Mexicans brought they’re ghettos to every city. Justice Thomas was born in poverty lower than the ghetto. Daddy Romney was the poorest of poor when he came to America. He washed cars and went to the same schools as the ghetto kids of today went to. He became a car salesman then owned the business because he wanted to better himself, support his family and send his kids to college. Mitt made his money the same hard way. Daddy didn’t give it to him. He studied in school, not sold crack, joined a gang, or whored  himself for crack. I went to Vietnam to give every color in America the opportunity my parents gave to me. We gave everyone the opportunity to become a success, a freeloader or homeless. It’s your choice.

Look, besides the unemployed, there are like 60 million more who are working jobs at or near minimum wage without benefits. Even at 60 hours a week, that does not cover basic living expenses, let alone lend time for, what, going to college? LOL.. The reality is that despite earning the biggest profits ever, and paying nearly the lowest taxes, ever, the big corporations are not supplying the US with jobs because they make more money by manufacturing in foreign markets. All the conservative economic models presume a closed economy, where lower taxes will always lead to investment within the economy, and thus jobs. But there is a hole in both your theory, and your economic model, because that investment is not made in the US any more because we have a world economy now. So that indicates to me that we need to greatly increase taxes on big corporations, with credits being offered for creation of new US jobs. Otherwise, it is not an even playing field for US labor who simply can not compete with 3.00 per hour foreign labor.

You are not realistic, at all, about what a poor person faces in getting himself out of his poverty. And when you combine that with the actual and real lack of decent paying jobs, then simply as a matter of math, tens of millions are not going to have jobs, or have to settle for jobs that pay at a poverty rate. There is no possible way to blame the American unemployed worker for his plight. Capitalism, and the wealthy men who run it (not to mention all their water carriers), have dropped the ball.

Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies,

For amber waves of…offshored Gold

For Cayman Island tax havens,
To hide my riches untold
America, America, I hide my wealth from thee.
I’m too good to be understood­,
That’s why your jealous of me!

Offshore Mitt 2012

Companies are manufacturing in foreign countries because of regulations & the wacko environmentalist. If government would leave people alone there would be millions of jobs.
Obama is the Mc Donald’s job maker. Who want’s to invest in America anymore ? Everyone !  Canada would love to but Obama and the wackos just put a stop to it. He nearly closed down Las Vegas, he destroyed the boat, private airline business & housing.
 He killed $80.000 a year jobs in the Gulf, shut down small businesses all over the coast. He stole 734 car dealerships and gave the money to unions.  He lost millions of jobs and he’s only been there three years.
Did you get the latest insurance bill yet ?  If we opened cross state insurance sales your insurance bill would be cut in half or less. Nope ! can’t do that says Pelosi and Reid… Such garbage
Those that took advantage of the schools we provide and educated themselves to live up to their potential instead of waiting for hand outs are doing just fine. Those thinking we owe them a living  will suffer at their own demise. My three sons (late twenties) are doing just fine with high paying jobs. Not bad for three black kids. They didn’t sell drugs, they studied while we worked to put them through school. We didn’t choose to be free loaders we chose to build for our future.
People drop their own ball.

Lester Thurow’s The Future of Capitalism, written mid-1990s:”History teaches us that the survival-of-the-fittest versions of capitalism do not work. The free market economies that existed in the 1920s imploded during the Great Depression and had to be reconstructed by government….It is well to remember that the social welfare state was not implemented by wild-eyed leftists. Its midwives were almost always enlightened aristocratic conservatives (Bismarck, Churchill, Roosevelt) who adopted social welfare policies to save, not destroy capitalism by protecting the working class…If one asked what must governments do in capitalistic socieities to make conditions better, the socialist answer was to own and run business firms. That answer proved to be incorrect. The right answer is to force a high level of private and public investment.”

Reagan (1981-1988)      14.8 million Jobs created when we had a manufacturing sector.
Bush 41   (1989-1992)      3.4 millionJobs
Clinton  (1993-2000)      23.4 millionJobs, raised taxes on wealthy and passed NAFTA
Bush 43 (2001-2005)       1.7 millionJobs, results from NAFTA and tax breaks for the rich.
Totals:  Democrats 23.4 in 8 years and Republicans 19.9 for 20 years, per the Bureau Of Labor Statistics, of free market politics and no results. Now you make the decision about Americas trade policies and tax polices.

Bush created 1 million jobs by his third year in office and Obama has created 1.6 million jobs. When democrats control the Congress and presidency we will prosper, but when Republicans take powere. the 1% thrive, and we go into debt every time.

When Reagan took office in 1980, the National Debt stood at about $1 trillion. Here’s what happened over the next 18 years:1980-88– Reagan total debt increase 3 trillion [300% -- 40% per year]1988-92– Bush 1 total debt increase 2 trillion [200%] — 50% per year]1992-2000– Clinton total debt increase 1.5 trillion — [150% -- 20% per year]2000-08– Bush 2 — total debt increase 4 trillion [400% -- 50% per year]

Revisionist history.

I wonder how much a political comedian such as Maher, Stewart, Colbert or even Ned Phillips, (whose Ned Phillips?) get paid?

I suppose, that by most American’s standards, Bill Maher is “rich?”  Despite the fact Maher and company appear to be on the side of the family guy, the Union guy, the working man and the student,  I suspect Mr. Maher would rather avoid losing some 75% of his income.

I’m sorry, but the US worker can not compete with workers in other countries earning three or four bucks an hour, nor will the US compete with other countries that have few pollution regulations because we have decided that we do not want to die drinking our water or breathing our air.

We said the same thing about illegals coming here and destroying the construction business. A roofer, framer dry wall installer used to make an American living until the invasion. They all made18+ $ an hour. Not anymore. They’re lucky if any of them speak English.
Everyone screams conservatives hate illegals, they’re right for this very reason

Mr. MARX,

I read the “Zero Sum Society” way back in 1981.  Thurow was and continues to be a proponent of Government/Business integration.  To a degree, I do too, but, my thesis is called “economic treason.”  Defined as: a personal or business decision that causes economic harm or diminished security of the Nation.

Thurow and others of his school of economic thought, desire a codified integration so that decisions and/or policies are scrutinized, by both government and business before implementation.  Anyway, I suggest that you have presented an ostensibly good case for such based on “facts” and “statistics,” however, I suspect you deliberately left something out of the historical economic picture?  No bother, as such methods are typical in a culture that has lost ethical consideration.  ”Everybody does it”?

Obama and company complains that they couldn’t get things done because of a recalcitrant Congress, so too did every administration you mention.  The check and balance of our Constitution can be difficult to overcome, or circumvent?  But, you keep trying!

Sooner or later, WE will have made such a large economic mess of things, that WE will have to commit to specific philosophy and go with it, hoping such solves the problem(s).

I’d like to remind the reader that America was founded on a Mercantilist, Capitalist, free enterprise system.  In such a format, there are winners and losers.Try to remember, that no matter what, we can’t save everybody…

Face it, most Republican backers don’t like or trust revenuers.

Wear the same underwear for weeks and it becomes magical.

Yeah, I bet it does.
How would that attract many wifes?

Were you one?

So, why DIDN’T your father make the right choices to become like Daddy Romney?  That isn’t ‘anecdotal’, more than 80% of the millionaires in America are FIRST GENERATION.

Obama, sure completely honest.  Just like Rahm Emanuel and the other Chicago linked cronies.

boo hoo!
