Charles P. Pierce (Esquire): Why Does Everybody Hate Mitt? …. I’ve cast my memory back as far as I can, and I cannot recall a major politician of either party who causes so many members of his party to spit (metaphorically, one hopes) at the simple mention of his name. And this is not a recent phenomenon. One of the few insights worthy of anyone’s time in that horrible Game Change book was the fact that, by the end of the 2008 presidential cycle, all of the other Republican candidates had come to despise Willard. (John McCain was apoplectic on the subject, even by McCain’s standards, which are considerable.) This now has seemed to transfer itself to the Republican electorate in general. Nobody likes this guy…..
On the surface, this elemental loathing seems disproportionate, even if you take into account how much of the GOP’s Jesus-jammin’ base distrusts the extended coven into which Romney was born …. Willard is something of a foof who spends all his time falling a few yards short of sincerity. He speaks a form of trust-fund English that can be off-putting. He is as utterly unprincipled as a politician can be, and he’s about as trustworthy as a puff adder… all Romney’s done is change his position on a whole host of issues, and talk like the guy who’s come to repossess the family farm…..

WH: Over the weekend, a report by the Associated Press detailed how the Affordable Care Act is dramatically reducing drug costs for seniors who hit the prescription drug coverage gap known as the donut hole. This year, seniors are benefiting from a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs in the donut hole. And the discount and other provisions in the law are saving money for seniors. As the AP reported:
The average beneficiary who falls into the coverage gap would have spent $1,504 this year on prescriptions. But thanks to discounts and other provisions in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, that cost fell to $901…
…. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, seniors will receive bigger discounts in the years ahead. By 2020, the donut hole will be closed completely.
And even if you don’t hit the donut hole, there’s still good news for beneficiaries with Medicare Part D. Prescription drug premiums will not rise next year, and thanks to health reform, seniors can get preventive services like mammograms and other cancer screenings for free.

The Obama Diary 
THE LAST PIC HAS MADE MY DAY…AGAIN! HAVEN’T BEEN IN A GREAT MOOD SINCE OUR PASTOR USED PBO’S THANKSGIVING ADDRESS ON SUNDAY FOR HIS SERMON. STILL ANGRY HERE!…:(
Hi Sue . . . What happened?
THE PASTOR SAID…WE KNOW WHO TO THANK…INTIMATING THE COMPLAINT AGAINST PBO THAT HE DIDN’T MENTION GOD. OF COURSE THE YEEHAAHS IN THERE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE USUAL IN SUPPORTIVE REPUBLICAN GRUNTS! I’M STILL ANGRY OVER IT.
How disgusting Sue, it must have been a miserable experience for you. And this guy calls himself a man of God? 🙄
how do you post without waiting for moderation?
Hi Amliss, usually if someone has had a comment approved here before all their comments after that show up automatically. Did you sign in with a different address this time? There might also have been an issue with the links you posted, I can’t remember but I might have blocked foxnation before because it’s just full of racist filth.
Ok I understand. The people there are pretty nasty. I mean very nasty
Your pastor’s action is the sort of thing that is driving the decline of the mainline church in our country. Before the politicalization of religion in the Reagan era such actions would never have occurred. This is another example of how Republicans are destroying the country.
Sue – Hi! I know that’s a tricky situation, but any chance you could write your pastor a note, to say how he made you feel? (Not sure I would, but that was my first thought, since it might make you feel better.)
I would definitely concur. My mother spoke to another priest at her church about a similar incident, and there was an immediate correction. It’s unacceptable.
Agree. The priest’s sermon was bent on the destruction of the Health Care Law and abortion. I stood up, just to let the fellow know I was listening, and sat down. After service, I let him know how disappointing it was to hear such words from a supposed man of God, and followed it up with a letter to him, his bishop, and the Atty General. Churches are allowed tax exemptions based on neutrality of political avenues. I also included areas where churches are not following the message of Jesus. To leave a correct impression, I’m not into any organized religion and went for Mom’s benefit.
good for you DoNoHarm
Wow – that’s inspirational. Next time I hear any nonsense going on in her church, I’m going to take action, as well.
I will say I was a very devout Catholic attending church every single Sunday, helping by teaching Sunday school classes then later by being a Marriage Prep couple with my late husband, and helping serve coffee after masses. My husband was ain the Knights of Columbus, and I was involved in Altar Society. Our children attended church with us, attended Sunday school classes, helped serve coffee with us after mass, were involved with youth group and activities, sang in the children’s choir and were altar servers. When my husband died I continued my involvements. My college children began to change their attendance and become twice a year Catholics. I am there now too, but for a different reason. My falling away from the church came after I witnessed many so called Christians attack this President time and time again. To me these attacks are not Christian and I cannot be part of a group of people that do not walk their talk. President Obama is an example of someone that desires to look after the poor as Jesus desires. In every way he portrays an example of what is asked for in the bible.
Sue – when PO was elected in 2008 – my pastor had the gall to use PO in his sermon as the example of why the congregation should not worship false idols.
Problem was — he didn’t anticipate me standing up in church and giving him a sermon of my own to include epithets that was not found anywhere in scripture and I was not leaving. lolol
Needless to say – he learned that it is never prudent to try to throw stones or bear false witness against PO in church again.
LOL. A friend of mine said that her pastor at her church (predominantly AA congregation) was still in Hillary’s corner during the primaries because he had some political ties to Bubba. Well, one Sunday he was going on about how he wasn’t sure yet who he was gonna pick because yada, yada, yada…..before he could finish his little discussion, the whole congregation drowned him out with “O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!” They were on their feet chanting. I wish I had been there to see and hear that.
PJ – My church is also predominantly black and I guess my Pastor also supported Hillary and that was the reason why he had a temporary mental breakdown and said what he said. But I have no idea why felt that he could even part his lips and think he could get away with it. Unfortunately, it was pretty bad. . . . for him. lol My temper and nose flared, I stood up, what came up came out. That poor man got what he got.
But I am sure I was forgiven by my heavenly father because God knows, that man pushed my buttons when he started spewing that bile and acted like he didn’t know. I wasn’t having it and in church no less. I have no tolerance for lying liars or the lies they tell. Those poor kiddies in the congregation did get an earful but one of them came by the pew and handed me a church fan with PO’s and Flotus’ image on the back of it and smiled. lol
The Pastor should have known better. Ain’t having it. lolol Sue brought back some beautiful memories. 🙂 A. W. Tozer was right when he said “the devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.” So I followed the scripture that calls us to – “speak the truth and shame the devil.” lol I still get tickled when I think about that day. After awhile I was able to calm down and talk things over with my Pastor and we now have an understanding. He won’t lie or try to unfairly degrade our President and I won’t go off on him during a sermon. 🙂
Rock on, no spin, rock on!
I enjoyed that TREMENDOUSLY! And I think two others might enjoy hearing it – POTUS and FLOTUS! I can see them smiling. 🙂
Great!
I belong to the United Church of Christ (Barack Obama’s church)! I have volunteered for him and OFA since 2007 after I heard him speak at our 50th Synod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ChF2Chjpd0&feature=related When I first read his books I was in awe of how his values matched my own. Now I know why.
If you watch the speech you can start at 6:50.
No you didn’t, Nospin?! Wow, I wish I had that kind of courage!
I was in seminary when PBO won in 2008.
But, I was away from school ,the week he was elected, for a medical procedure.When I returned,the dorm maid told me that it was like a wake in Chapel, the day PBO won! She said the minister/professors were so obviously upset about it, that the African-American students started to leave the service.
I was so glad I was not at school during the election and the inauguration- it was really dispiriting to sense that so many of my Christian professors were so virulently against PBO.
It made me very sad, because I expected better from them.
Sue, so sorry you had to listen to that. Apparently some of these ministers have forgotten this: Jesus said, “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen of them. If you do you will have no reward from your Father in heaven” …
PBO did thank God in his proclamation;they don’t mention that. Anyway, He is not trying to impress men with his piety. Good for him.
hi eveingeorgia – One thing I cannot abide is someone who calls themselves a representative of Christ and stands there with lying lips and a hateful heart. These are the people who expected to bring folks to know Christ?
And then to use the election of PO that I still believe was a testament of how good God is to degrade this man and to minimize his struggle as if it was worth nothing and that the win was undeserved? Was not having it. That is why it is a struggle for me to bind my tongue when I hear folks who are supposed to be followers of Christ make hateful statements or twist scripture to match their personal agenda. Not having it.
Nospin, I think I love you. Actually, I know I love you!!
don’t encourage me Chips. 🙂 This is one of my traits I am seriously working hard to control. lol It is a constant struggle especially now in the days of Obama. But I try. I really do.
Ah, I know the feeling nospin, I’m trying to reduce my volcanic eruptions from one a day to about one a week, but it’s a real battle …. I blame President Obama, I was a calmer person before he came in to my life. Well, before his enemies came in to my life, to be more precise!
EXACTLY!
Isn’t Thanksgiving for all people to give thanks – not just the religious ones? I don’t understand why they’re treating it like a religious holiday? If people want to give thanks to God for their blessings, then why can’t they? And if they don’t want to, then they should be free to do that, too. These right wingers are going too far. If you don’t pray the way they want, or you don’t do Christianity the way they want, or you don’t look the way they want, then it sounds like they classify you as a unworthy – all the while, they uncharitably steal food from hungry children, deprive those same children of a good education, and exhibit all manner of immorality as their example of Christianity.
I’m sure people of all faiths and no faith expressed their thanks this weekend for family, friends, good health and fortune – in whatever manner they chose, and they didn’t need the President to tell them how to do it.
Amen, theo67!!!!!! Thank you!!!!! These are the actions that turn so many people off about Christianity.HZ
GETTING VERY TIRED OF REPUBLICANS!
That is really despicable, Sue.
Hi Sue, just opened my computer, and read your comment. I and sick of their ugly ways as well. It is shameful that your pastor brought POB into a sermon at all. The scriptures as you well know that we are to pray for our leaders. It never said to preach to them about how many times they use the word God in a speach etc. In fact, remember when they all came to Him and said, Lord, Lord, and He said, depart from me, I Never knew you.
I do not hesitate to tell my friends of the faith, “You better be preaching the Word.” That was commanded of you as a Pastor. These are hypocrites, snakes, and of their father, the devil. So there to them. There is no Christ love in what these shameful people are constantly saying black and white pastors. I tell them to their face. Yes, I do. I say , show me in the scripture where it says that. Then please do not do that again, Pastor.
Remember Sue, the wheat and the tares will not be separated until He does it. A lot of these people who are sitting up in church each Sunday including the pastors, are not true believers. Look at their fruits.
(((((((HUGS)) )))))))) my sweet spirit, Sue.HZ
DITTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ooooooooh Chips you’re back with a bang! Awesoooooome. Lovely twitterific stories. As for the tweet between myself and Me4obama… do we now get relegated to the naughty mat? 😆 😆 Thanks for bringing back the wet picture. 😉
Well UT, fortunately I’m not responsible for you or M4O’s behavior on Twitter – do they have a naughty mat over there? I suspect the pair of you would be permanently on it if they had. Kind of ‘Occupy Naughty Mat’.
‘ONM’ TOO FUNNY!
It’s a whole new movement Sue, and UT and M4O are its leaders!
Hmmmm…guess I’ll be writing a diary about that new movement and it’s origins real soon!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
“Occupy Naughty Mat” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would be a damn crowded mat here!
I’ve got 4 LARGE pictures of the Wet One on my desktop. When I need a smile, I’ll minimize what I’m doing and look at those pictures.
SHAME ON YOU CHILDREN!..LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Hey UT, I responded to you and Chips on the last thread……Glad to have you back.
I want to add my name to the chorus UT. Holy moly what a bruising work load…..I always thought of you as a brainiac, but I think I was underestimating your brilliance.
By the way thanks for the ‘eye-candy’……UT you deserve lots of time on the naughty mat….think of it as a well deserved reward for all your hard work 😉
Chips I have been caught red handed and I am proud to plead GUILTY as charged. I LOVE MY PROFILE PICTURE. I smile everytime I look at it. #TheWetOne. 😆 : lol: 😆
#TheWetOne
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
You crack me up, woman!
The Wet One is on my desktop 🙂 Every morning…first thing, it’s my coffee, The Wet One, and TOD 🙂 Great way to start the day, If I don’t mind saying so myself…
‘The Wet One’ makes me weep ….. lurkers here must be hopelessly confused!!! Especially when they read desertflower is another high profile member of the “Occupy Naughty Mat” movement. 😆
I don’t think their is a ‘sexier’ picture in the universe. Fully clothed and smoking up the screen……yowwwwzzzzer!
He would look fabulous with an earring…….reminds me of Ed Bradley, may he rest in peace.

wish the ladder wasn’t blocking the view of his, er…….buns of steel.
😯 (Runs away to re-check pic)
I’m guessing the photographer didn’t think we were ready for that jelly. PBO is too bootylicious, for us. 😐
those women were horrible. they should be ashamed of themselves. ugh! the nerve of them drooling at a happily married, sexy, good-looking man with one fine ass backside! Hrumph! Shame on them!
Hahahahahahahahaha. Lisa. Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? 😆
hehehehehehehehehhehehhehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehe!!! :snort: :snort: hehehehehehehhehehhehehhehehe
😆 😆
:snort: hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehehehehehe!!!
ps- it’s okay for us at TOD to do it, but not so for those other shameful women, after Miche, we get dibs. Shameless huzzies shouldn’t drool at our man. 🙂
Chips – So funny! (You, too, lisa!)
LOL 😀
Chips where did you get this one? I thought I had all of the pertinent photos in my scrapbooks. Wow!!! I am adding this one now. 🙂
COS, http://images.google.com/ is your friend!
Thx Chips.
Ms. Chips, you are too quick!lol
Ah no fancieful, just too much time spent hanging around Google Images!
All of the sudden I’m feeling a little thirsty….hmmhmmmhmmm.
😳 😳 😳
Lawdhamerceeeeeeeeeee!
Have you cooled down now PJ? 😆
It works —– for a leetle while. That pic just doesn’t make any damn sense. Even the rain loves him. Eat it Willard! I’m sure his hair dye would start running if he was caught in a similar predicament. 😆
Ooops:
Herr 999 is still making news? What an azzhat 🙄
Ha Lisa, it’s the only way the fool can make news now, this kind of junk. Oh, how the mighty have fallen 🙄
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that it is a 13 year affair. Herb denies an affair, but not a relationship. Her says he will not comment until he knows what is to be reported.
I’m shocked that anyone would voluntarily sleep with him.
I was thinking the same thing. But he did say she needed a job
Ummm, I guess we could say 13 years is 999-extended period of time: “a woman will step forward tonight and claim that she had a 13-year affair with the GOP candidate.” 🙂 Why do they say “claim”? Anyhoo, this is not a surprise. That’s why that lawyer tried to intimidate any other women. Why is Mr. 999 still in the race? Ahh, nevermind! 🙂
I AM SO DISGUSTED BY ALL OF THIS….
THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION…XTINE….WHY IS HE STILL IN THE RACE….WHY ISN’T HE BEING LAMBLASTED BY THE MEDIA AND THE CANDIDATES…
IT SEEMS THAT A MAN CHEATING ON HIS WIFE AND HARRASSING/ABUSING WOMEN IS ACCEPTABLE….
Mr. Cain is a troll candidate, we are all being trolled!
Chips, thanks for this! You are amazing and I just posted this on Pragmatic Obots! I just read the Cain statement about this accusation and he basically said “It ain’t nobody’s business that I was cheating on my wife with this woman.” In which world does he think this does not matter when combined with the sexual harassment accusations AND the fact he claims to be a Christian family values Republican.
Here’s the statement from a larger article about the accusation and pic of the woman from My FOX5 Atlanta:
Mr. Cain has been informed today that your television station plans to broadcast a story this evening in which a female will make an accusation that she engaged in a 13-year long physical relationship with Mr. Cain. This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault – which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate.
Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public’s right to know and the media’s right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door.
Mr. Cain has alerted his wife to this new accusation and discussed it with her. He has no obligation to discuss these types of accusations publicly with the media and he will not do so even if his principled position is viewed unfavorably by members of the media.”
Think about Jon Edwards. He became public news for his affair. Why not Cain too? Why do we not have the right to know that he does not keep his marriage vows?
Herman Cain is just like the rest of the repub candidates who all lack good character. They are a bunch of liars. They are not the presidential calibre. Herman Cain should have never even thought about running for this office. His behavior is just atrocious. He think he is a smooth talker, is an under the cover ho perpetrating as a legitimate business man, used his position to take advantage of women who he lacks respect. He has gotten away with so much bullshit that he has has lost a sense of what is right or wrong. He is rotten and has a subjection to sexual sin. Women are his weakness. And his wife probably know of his behavior.
Just so freaking flabbergasted that Newt the redeemed one, who has asked for forgiveness from a man. But if he has not prayed to the Almighty then he has not repented. He is a has been.Anybody who commit adultery is a liar also Ed Schultz. And he is no better than Herman Cain.
Willard is just as worthless. He is a liar as well. A man without conviction. He is a fake.
I’m too old, and my nerves are too bad to look at that picture for very long! Help me, somebody!!
Yikes, do you need a doctor Eve?
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
(chorus)
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can’t you see I’m burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I’m feeling?
Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light
Please don’t go no please don’t go
Cause I don’t want to stay here on my own
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love)
Take away my name (take away)
Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love)
Never be the same
(REPEAT CHORUS x 2)
Come with me and make believe
We can travel to eternity
Lisa, I am hollering in here. You have me in tears laughing soooo hard!!! 🙂
Oh, Lord! Gotta go, Chips. Didn’t I just tell you I have bad nerves?!
😆
You guys make my day! The picture on my desktop is Obama in the Rain. I love it and I ditto all the comments here!
New poster, long time lurker/reader. I am looking forward to joining the conversation.
Welcome brook water we hope to hear from you often.
WELCOME TO THE FAM BROOK
welcome aboard! 🙂
Hi brookwater, thanks so much for dropping in, looking forward to you joining in on the chat 😉
Welcome! Do we need to order a new naughty mat for you? Glad you’re here 🙂
Welcome to the family brook water!!!!!! This is a place of great conversation and some good laughs too!!!!
Good afternoon, Team Obama. I see Chips is helping us move the day along!!
Uh oh, here comes another Occupy Naughty Mat member. Helloooooo Meta!
Hello, good friend! Yes, I’m one of the 3 MuskaMateers!
I’m inclined to call you the Naughty Mat-riarch!
Ok I need to share something. I m truly affraid for the president and his family. I dont know if any of you have ever visited foxnation.com or foxnews.com. But I need to tell you those people are klansmen straight up. I have documented for three years the vile racist shti they say about the presidnet and especially the first lady. There is a thread about the first family t hat is closed to comments because it was just too much even for fox. Fox will post just irrelevant stories about the flotus just to bring those people out. the monkey and animal references are well liked. But this one is the worst Ive seen on fox. There is a story about Wyclef Jean and boy are the commentst nasty. Here is a link to newshound’s documentation of today’s vile fox behavior. http://www.newshounds.us/2011/11/27/shocking_racist_comments_on_foxnewscom_article_about_wyclef_jeans_haiti_fund.php#more.
Here are the comments from fox about the first lady and her daughters. http://nation.foxnews.com/christmas/2011/11/25/white-house-christmas-tree-arrives They are so disgusting and they don’t even care anymore how it looks. The media is very happy to give them a pass. When are we going to stand up and say we are not going to take it anymore? How can a “news” organization get away with this? It’s madening.
We don’t need to see them to know that they are there, Amliss. I’d bet you my right foot that the Secret Service is on this. Please, for your own peace of mind, don’t go back to those sites and definitely don’t read the comments. All the comments on the site you’ve provided aren’t unique and they aren’t original. I’m not even going to click on the links but I can already tell you what they all say. Please ignore them. The SS are all over those sites and tons of others.
Completely agree Lisa, I used to read that kind of stuff and end up clinically depressed, but there just isn’t any point – we know these scumbags are out there, but we’ll only knock the life and energy out of ourselves by reading their bile.
Thanks Chips. I will not subject myself to that vile hate. When I click on something and then start to read the comments, I can’t handle it and will not share that hate and vile conversation with anyone. You are so on point, Chips about the ‘clinically depressed. This mess will take you there, so Amliss, I would say, “We know that this dreg is out there, and we do not need it here nor do we feast on it. It will cause you much pain. Dwell on those things that are good, gentle, true, respectful, of a good heart, and peaceful. Keep yourself energy at a different dial tone. HZ
Ok good advice. cause man it hurts
Don’t bother with rabid, right-wing sites.
Yesterday’s Michelle Obama Quote O’ The Day:
Awesome quote PJ.
♥ ♥ ♥ UT ♥ & hearts; ♥
Lovely quote. it should be a mantra for everyone.
I just used Michelle Obama’s quote this morning, on myself! Not only can I not go to these vile comment sections – it’s like deliberately jumping into the middle of a vicious Klan rally and can wreck my fragile emotional state for hours at a time. So I avoid them. But, even some of the comment sections in the the Obama-supportive sites allow these nasty folks in. They don’t add anything but hostile and demeaning commentary masquerading as intelligent critique based either on unrealistic expectations or on willful ignorance of policies already enacted. This blog that Chips has made is such an informative curative. I keep coming here because it’s giving me the courage to become politically active again. Even if I don’t re-engage politically, I’m becoming well-informed enough to combat the lies inundating my neighbors who don’t surf the net as compulsively as I do.
For my fellow geeks, allow me to put out another quote on fear. From Frank Herbert’s “Dune”:
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain
Amen.
extremely good advice!
I do not understand the GOP’s thing about PO not using God in his Thanksgiving proclamation. He only did the one, right? I have a printed copy of it right beside me. He uses God twice…..first time talking about George Washington and how ….”he praised a generous and knowing God for shepherding our young Republic through its uncertain beginnings.” Later,……..”we give thanks to each other and God for the many kindnesses and comforts that grace our lives.” I am confused. Did he do two?
Whatever the number, it will never be enough because that’s all they’ve got is empty baseless claims.
What you said Meta. This was such a nonstory.
Thanks Meta. (((((((Hugs))))))) HZ
Bravo meta! Indeed if he used God ten times they will still bitch that he didn’t specifically mention Jesus.
Um, I’m a foreigner but I seem to recall that there’s something in the US Constitution about separation of Church and State?
Ding, ding, ding….you are correct, Ms. Esmerelda! Congrats for having a better understanding of our constitution’s First Amendment than many Americans.
Co-sign on your comment, AJ. Besides the First Amendment, there is also Article VI of the Constitution which says: “… no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
You are correct. All these religious references annoy me to the max. Should have no part in our politics or government.
Those who criticize are referring to his televised Thanksgiving address. In that one he used the phrase give thanks, but did not use the name, God.
I guess they think he was thanking the Tooth Fairy.
yup, eve. It was definitely the tooth fairy. You know those Kenyan socialist mau-maus. they don’t believe in God but they sure as shit loves them their tooth fairies. 🙄 Have I told you lately that I despise the GOP?
“Have I told you lately that I despise the GOP?” You are not alone Lisa!
To that I say — Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
So the GOP can sthu and sthd on that one.
hallelujah, nospin! And the church says AMEN!!!!!
Amen nospin!!! Thanks for posting the scriptureHZ

Angry Over Unfair Mortgage Practices, Churches Pull Money From Wall Street Banks

that’s great Linda thanks people are making a statement and taking concrete action!
My mother just called me, I guess her and my tea bagger brother had a big argument.
My mom was arguing about the millionaire tax and saying they should pay for the jobs bill.
My libertarian brother went off in her, protecting the milliOnaires and billionaires as tax creators, suggesting the President does not know anything being a community organizer and he took bribes from Solyndra.
I told her to let it go, you are not going to change a tea baggers mind…
Anyways, she is pretty upset. Poor Mom!
Your brother should be told to stop watching Fox News.
He is a tea bagger, what can I say?
Oh, Jovie! You are so funny. “He’s a teabagger, what can I say?”——- Jovie, you are one of a kind. 😆 😆 😆 😆
HA! Maybe she should ask your brother WHERE ALL THE JOBS ARE?! Those tax cuts have been going on too long now…if THEY were creating so many jobs…WHERE ARE THEY? Big lie…they create nothing but deeper pockets and jobs moved over seas…..the greed is plentiful for those “job creators”!
TPM has a good article about why those Republicans are walking back the criticizism of Solyndra…maybe you should send it to him 🙂
poor Mom 😦
you know what you just reminded me of Jovie? That video that chips published a few weeks ago of elizabeth warren and why everyone should be paying their fair share of taxes to support the forward motion of this county here’s the money quote;
http://front.moveon.org/the-elizabeth-warren-quote-every-american-needs-to-see/?rc=tw.fol
I used this argument on my republican brother in law and it gave him food for thought.
Roseanne Barr is full-blown NUTS. She called PBO a murderer on twitter, thinks Nader is a hero and PBO is against pot and whistleblowers and guess what? She’s running for President with the Green Party!!!
I guess she needs something to do since her reality show was canceled.
And it appears that anyone of these nutz who wants attention MUST invoke PBO somehow.
LOL!Her reality show was a failure. She also a PUMA, which says alot.She’s out for attention. The PUMAS need to get over it that Hillary lost.
She has always been nuts. Does any one even pay attention to her anymore?
Good grief, I’ve just been reading her tweets …. she’s even more unstable than I thought she was.
Yeah, I had the same reax. I knew she was off, but she sounds completely crazed in her tweets.
And there’s some seriously weird attention-seeking going on there ….. scary.
Ok, you all convinced me to head over to her Twitter feed. Apparently, she has a platform. And it involves “barter and exchange”. Yes, because barter and exchange is such an efficient economic system. The fact that it hasn’t been used since the Sumerians in any advanced civilization doesn’t deter her. If she actually gets the Green nomination, it’s one more indication of why the Green Party is nothing but a spoiler working for GOP interests.
I actually gave up reading her feed LL, she just seems …. deranged? Barter and exchange? O….kay.
And the conspiracy theory stuff is too much.
Didn’t she grow nuts? That “nut” didn’t fall far from the tree!
hahahahaahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahhahhahahhahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahha
hahhahahahahahahahhahhahahhahahhahahhahhahahhaahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahahha

Yeah, roseanne barr was bitchugly to Obama during the primaries too, being a Hillary supporter. Could she be anymore irrelevant?
For those of you who don’t know about the girl in Kansas who talked smack about Governor Brownback on Twitter, apparently the Governor has apologized:

The judge threw out a 285 million dollar settlement with Citigroup, for unfair Mrtgage practices.
Yeah, how dare the SEC go after the big banks. Lol!
Actually I believe it was thrown out because the settlement was too low. Basically the Judge slammed both Citi for being criminals and the SEC for thinking such a paltry sum was punishment or a deterrant in any way.
Oh good! Thanks for the info!
I like your version! Sounds good.
“Doesn’t the S.E.C. have an interest in what the truth is?” Rakoff reportedly asked at the hearing.
“Last time I checked, correct me if I’m wrong, anyone can make an allegation,” said Judge Rakoff. “The mere fact that you say it’s so does not make it so unless it’s proved.”
“I won’t be cute and ask what percentage of Citigroup’s net worth is $95 million because I do not have a microscope with me.”
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/11/09/judge-in-citigroup-mortgage-settlement-criticizes-s-e-c-s-enforcement/
Correct!
“A federal judge Monday rejected the SEC’s plan to settle a major case against Citigroup and ordered the two sides to prepare for a trial.
In a powerful rebuke to a federal agency responsible for policing Wall Street, U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff said that if the charges against Citigroup are true, the SEC settlement is too weak to hold the bank accountable.”

Thank you Judge Rakoff!
Magic and Shaq on Piers Morgan Tonight. Maybe we will find out about the nba fundraiser? Is it still on, due to the NBA lockout ending?
Ten bucks says he asks them about President Obama and Religion.
More money says he tries to get both Magic and Shaq to bash President Obama, that way he can say, “look, even blacks aren’t supporting the President, how the hell is he going to get re elected?”
one quick correction, nin:
“look, even more articulate, intelligent blacks aren’t supporting the President, how the hell is he going to get re elected?”
Why are they Muslim?
Asking is their religion Muslim or something that piers can demagogue?
He always asks about the guest’s ” faith “…it is odd to me.
Actually I thought he did a superb job with interview of Mark Kelly, Gabby’s husband. Lots of positive Obama references included. It was just a great interview.
Oh…I missed that one….
Any Twitterers here…be sure to ask Leers Morgan in advance, “U ready to ask yer patented ‘Y do U hate Obama so much?'” question.

Tweety and Howard fineman have a lovefest for Obama. Build Gingrich up, tear Obama down. Check! Lol! Lmao.
You mean a lovefest for Gingrich.
They are building Gingrich up – bad news for Gingrich!!
Howard got the inside scoop from his ” Sources “….
Is this for real?
😆
Is this for real? Only if she was a Latina…
saintroscoe, what am I missing: “Only if she was a Latina…”???
Meant nothing by it other than play off the name Cain being a African American with his lover being named Ginger White. Probably a lame attempt I’d like to have a delete button for.
Sounds like a “professional” name.
Yes it does sound “professional” LOL
😯
stripper/hooker
Yep. Yep. Ginger White? Whaaaaaaat??? You can’t write this stuff. 😆
Atlanta is the capitol of “upscale strip joints”. I guess we know where Herb spends his time between pizza deliveries.
True HF, but at least it’s not Kotten Kandi, or Good ‘Nplenty, or Honeypie Jones or Brown Sugar or Coco Bunch, or White Cho-co-laaate or Cukoo Magoo. Thank heavens for small favors. 😐

Cain’s Lawyer To Media: An Alleged Consensual Affair Is None Of Your Business!!
As much as I dislike Herman Cain because of what he stands for, I totally agree with his attorney that “An Alleged Consensual Affair,” between two adults, is none of my business as a voter. This is a matter for Mrs. Cain and her husband to deal with. I am also deeply concerned with the media’s double standards: Why aren’t the media asking Newt Gingrich about his out of wedlock affairs? If Gingrich’s consensual out of wedlock affairs do not disqualify him from running for President neither should Cain’s affairs disqualify him from running for President. Only sexual harassment or sexual assault, which are crimes, should be subject of public discourse. The country already elected a President, for two terms, who was constantly accused of having affairs. I vigorously defended President Clinton over the Lewinsky affair, not because I condoned his behavior, but because it was none of my business. His affair had nothing to do with governance. Thomas Jefferson was alleged to have a long running affair with his slave, yet he is still valorized. President’s Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and John f. Kennedy, are rumored to have had affairs, yet those rumors have not diminished their statures. Once again, in this instance, where it appears that two adults had a consensual affair, I think it is none of my business as voter. It may be the business of tabloid media which thrives on such stories, but should not be the business of the so called mainstream media.
Nathkatun7, I think the only time these exposes are justified is when the the guy at the center has spent his time preaching ‘family values’ – and all these GOPers do just that. If Newt ever won the nomination – and I doubt he will – I think his hypocrisy on the issue will finish him off.
Perzactly! Hypocrites to the max..get no reprieve. Nothing is off the table. Wonder why the woman came forward? I saw her pic and it says she’s an Atlanta Business woman.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/herman-cain-reveals-a-woman-to-accuse-him-of-a-13-year-affair/2011/11/28/gIQAxnPu5N_blog.html
Oh, Lord, Cain just broke the news to Wolf Blitzer that a woman is coming forth to allege she had a 13-year affair with him. A Fox station in Georgia is breaking the story and apparently has a pic of the woman on its website.
These republicans have no morals.
Sorry didn’t read the posts up thread. Knew you folks would have the scoop. All I can do is shake my head at Cain. What a slime.
Wonder why she’s coming forward now? Seriously, he has to be the dumbest egotistical guy in the universe.
I feel so bad for his wife and children.
Just go away Herman, just go away:mad:
You mean “Blitz”? Isn’t that what Cain called him in the debates/ what a jackwagon..
I gotta ask? Why are the democrats wanting to tax millionaires to pay for the jobs bill?
It has zero chance of passing! None- nada.
Is it just to placate the base?
That is a fundamental principle and I’m glad they keep going at it. They must be on record as trying again and again no matter what.
That makes sense! The right has been doing it for a year!
As long as we are clear, that is what they are doing!
Well, just imagine if they start backing off now. Everyone will interpret that as caving. This issue is like an anklebone to a chihuahua!
True! Sadly, that is how dc works and why nothing is getting done!

Picture of Ginger White. . .
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/ginger-white-claims-affair-herman-cain-20111127-es
Okay, Ms. White…tell us your storeh!
Herman keeps boobooing in his diapers!
No wonder the GOP and the media hate our President. They recently went scouring thru the Internets, Googles, Youtubes, etc..to find perhaps a picture or video footage or any credible evidence of our President misbehaving, and all they came up with was a video of PBO in 1991 paying homage to MLK in Black history month. So now instead of talking about PBO in sex scandal, Tapper, Toad and Knoller are reduced to grumbling about PBO “campaigning on tax-payer dime.”
No wonder the GOP and the media hate our President.
Cain will drop out the race this week or next month there is no way he will stay in. Gloria Cain has to be humiliated. I wonder what evidence Ginger has on her affair with Herman.
I’m hoping for a stained dress.
(Zap! Zinging Hermie and Big Dog at once.)
Nahhh I doubt it. He will keep on keeping on and the Right will claim it was personal and has nothing to do with politics. You see moral behaviour only relates to Dems. Repubs are immune to that sort of thing. Did you hear that audience in the debate given by CNBC when they booed the debate moderator for asking a question about Cain’s character? They only care about this stuff when its one of ours.

I wouldn’t want any of the GOPer hopefuls around my Storytime kids. (Of course, the kids at my library are wise beyond their years, and would just laugh at them.)
No way! My mom was just polled! Say it ain’t so.
Some questions are pushed polled, as they ate trying to sway her answers!
Interesting!
Which one? Gallup? Quinnipiac? NBC/WSJ? ABC? CNN? CBS? 🙂
Do you know which polling company it was Jovie?
If it was Rasmussen the first question was probably:
“Do you approve of President Obama? Here are your options:”
1 Hell no!
2 Absolutely not!

3 No way Jose!
Lol! She says it was a Floridian push poll strictly on governor Scott and casinos bring built.
She says she disapproved of Scott!
Lol!

What an imbecile!

‘Here We Go’ dedicated to Herr 999 from all the Good Wives
I can’t even watch the video, but in those 13 years of the affair, did Cain ever wonder if this was going to hurt his family? When he decided to break it off so he could run for President, did he really think that his Koch-masters would be able to hide this from the media? Very naive and selfish.
What is with this it is the third woman? I thought it was up to five now?
Members of the GOP populace , this song is dedicated to you. Thank you,Gangrene and Herr 9.9.9.
So true, Lisalovesobama. This song is a perfect tribute to the Repugs, especially the likes of Herman Cain. In the words of Antoine Dotson: Mr. 9-9-9, “you are so dumb. So really really dumb. For real.” Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Not to pile on Hermie, but this, from his lawyer (and, really, can’t Cain and his lawyer coordinate their messages?):
…this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public’s right to know and the media’s right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door.
Translation: GOPers can fuck around all they want and keep it private. If a Democrat does it, it’s an impeachable offense.
LL also herb Cain wants his bedroom affairs to be private, hello women’s right to choose, gay marriage is all what conservatives talk about trying to invade people private lives.
Superb!
+ 1,000,000,000
And if gay consensual adults conduct affairs, it’s a sin. And if a woman gets pregnant, it’s the church and state’s business. #hypocrisy
Yes, in the R universe, anything– lying, outright crimes, perversions, affairs, etc— are AOK and not subject to discussion. But if you’re a Democrat, you must be a Puritan in all things or be viciously vilified in a 24-hour FOX news cycle.
I wonder if he’s regretting that original ad he did where he hit all the stereotypes about African American women? What a hypocrite.
I suspect that Karl Rove pushed Ginger White to come out against Mr. Cain. Rove is not a Cain fan and wants Willard as the nominee.
We are witnessing what happened to John McCain in 2000, when the story of his black non American daughter leaked and cost him the nomination, giving it to George W. Bush.
Now, onto Gingrich! How will rove take him down?
This is funny!
I like:
Send him some love!
Great Alec.. &, that goes for those Liar Pants on Firebaggers, too!
Thanks Chips!~
I feel bad for Gloria Cain. Ginger White said her and Herman were still sleeping together as recently as eight months ago.
What never ceases to amaze me is the hubris of these people. You’re running for President of the United States. Everything you’ve ever said, thought, and done will be exposed. And yet they never think that their skeletons will come out. Not John Edwards, and not Herr Cain. I think that’s why I’m in a never-ceasing state of bewilderment over PBO. Most people who run for President are narcissists of the first order, and run to fulfill some inner, ego-driven need. But PBO seems to be the exact opposite of that. A lesser man would say “Screw you all, have Willard as your President”. Not PBO. He believes in the innate goodness of the citizenry, in working to make their lives just a bit better on what is a long trajectory of justice. I just shake my head and think “no one can be that good, that selfless.” And yet, and yet, there he is, plugging away and making it seem effortless.
I can’t believe how stupid and naive these guys are.
This is part of the reason why I love PBO. He’s a decent, hard-working, sincere, honest man. He’s in love with his wife and would never hurt her. He has morals and believes in keeping them and in holding trust. Everything in Dreams from My Father is his confessional. Our country doesn’t appreciate how unique he is, especially in this climate.
Well said, LL, our PBO is one of a kind and a marvel. The surprising thing is not so much that Cain thought he could hide his sordid past, but that R voters actually thought he would make a good president. He has sleazebag written all over him in giant letters.
I love what you say and you say it so well. History will shine the bright light of greatness on this man. Wish I could be around to see it. We are witnessing greatness.
I totally agree. We ARE witnessing greatness.
Oh Dennis is at it again-
Kucinich wants to disband NATO after what happened this weekend.
He sticks up for the poor Pakistanis, who are harboring terrorists.
God, I hope he loses to Kaptur.
I really hope the aliens come and take him away. He’d be much happier, I think.
OH! You got that right, LL! I think he’d be perfectly fine with with that, too ….I think he sees them…what a flipping fruitloop he is.
A bit of a break from the Herman Cain sideshow:
John McCain On Daughter Meghan’s MSNBC Move: ‘She Went Over To The Dark Side’
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/28/john-mccain-meghan-msnbc-dark-side_n_1116527.html?ref=politics
Sorry again for the HuffyPuffy link
I read that…. I wonder what he says about Nicole Wallace ( regular guest ) and Steve Schmidt ( paid analyst ) also going to ” The dark side.
I’ll say she’s gone to the Dark Side..she supports mitt freakshow romney. John McCain knows all about the Dark Side..I mean how much light can there be talkin’ outta your ass all the time. One true thing he’s said is about waterboarding being torture..disagreeing with the rest of his facist friends.
McCain elevated the dark tone in today’s political environment (started by Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker) when he didn’t do anything about Sarah Palin’s nasty rhetoric. His “dark side” comment just perpetuates that. He’s so divisive.
State of Play: As a December deadline for the Obama administration to finalize power plant air pollution standards approaches, House Democrats are pushing back on GOP claims that the new rules will threaten electric reliability by forcing large numbers of plant closures.
Democratic staff on the House Energy and Commerce Committee circulated a memo Monday night pointing to two recent studies that they say “provide substantial assurance that the nation can achieve significant air quality improvements from cleaning up old polluting power plants without threatening the reliability of electricity supplies.”
The memo comes as Republicans are working to derail the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Maximum Achievable Control Technology” standards for power plants, which would require operators to install equipment to reduce mercury and other air toxics.
Republicans and some moderate Democrats argue that the standards, which are due to be finalized by Dec. 16, will force the closure of a slew of plants, threatening the stability of the country’s electric grid.

December 16th is when government stopgap runs out. Interesting!
The thing about Willard Mitt Romney is that he reminds you of that awful guy in high school who’d tell you anything to get into your pants and if you were fool enough to listen to his lies, then 30 seconds later, after the deed was done, you just wound up feeling used and stupid. I’m guessing the repug electorate is trying to offset those feelings for as long as humanly possible, hence Batshit Bachman, Herr 999, and Mr. Philanderer.
Yep…that’s the one! You gave him 30 seconds??? I’m thinking “Opps, sorry” from the git go! 3 seconds. MAX.

I wonder what happened in that case …..
CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq – The holidays are fast approaching and while many service members have redeployed home, those who are still in country enjoy one holiday event to give them a taste of home.
The main dining facility on Contingency Operating Base Adder hosted a Thanksgiving feast as the last meal for service members before closing its doors for good Nov. 20.
The DFAC was adorned with festive holiday decorations throughout, as well as a large traditional Thanksgiving display across from the serving line, including tipis, turkey and cornucopia carvings, ice sculptures, cakes and fresh fruit.
The turnout was impressive as the line extended out the DFAC doors as service members patiently waited for their turkey dinner. “The turkey was great,” said Spc. Dorothy Gray, information technologies specialist, Company B, 3rd Brigade, Special Troops Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division, from Las Vegas, Nev. “A lot of times turkey can turn out dry, but it was really moist.”
“It was nice to have this as the last meal here before the DFAC closed and we all go home,” said Gray.
The menu included the traditional turkey, steamship round, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetables, and a variety of pies for dessert.

It’s lame excuse like this one, that he had not had any rest and that’s why he appeared so ignorant and incoherent about Libya, that we should be focused on in criticizing Herman Cain instead of focusing on his affairs. Clinton had affairs and served as President for two terms. Newt Gingrinch had affairs but no one in the media is suggesting that he is not qualified to be President. I hope this blog that I love so much would get away from being sucked into sensationalism about Heraman Cain’s affairs.
After viewing this clip, my question to Mr. Cain is: “if you are so incoherent, just because you had a busy campaign schedule, how would you respond intelligently, once you are President, when you have to deal with a much busier schedule? Take for example President Obama’s recent visit to Hawaii and Asia that took him through three different time zones. Can the American people be assured that you won’t screw up and embarrass the country and the turn around and blame your idiotic statements –or non-statements — to the jet lag?”
Nathkatun7 – I’m not sure about everyone else, but what gets me about this nonsense with affairs and the like, is that the Republicans tout themselves as the party of family values, and look down their noses at everyone else. They lure in Latino voters, claiming that they are the only ones who are Christians, dedicated to family and preserving life and patriotism. None of these things have anything to do with qualifications to be President – otherwise, the 2012 elections would be cancelled, and the Constitution amended to allow President Obama to be President for life.
The question here is one of integrity. Whether this man, or any of the other hypocrites on the right, should be charged with holding the very future of the planet in their hands. This title “leader of the free world” has been fully realized by President Obama, but even the incompetent ones still hold everyone’s lives in their hands. One would hope that the person making decisions on war, foreign aid, domestic policy and international trade, international dispute resolution and strategic direction – that that person would have a clear conscience and pure intentions. That’s what this whole affair thing means for me. I asked the same questions about Bill Clinton at the time. I will ask the same questions about Newt – and the rest of them. It’s not a matter of being morally judgmental. The decisions the President makes are important and they last for generations, and personal character goes into decision making – it cannot be divorced from measuring the man/woman who will make those decisions, because they stand alone when the final decision is made.
Amen, Theo67.

Good one !!!
I am very passionate about content, but now that you mentioned it I appreciate seeing and listening to a “sane” and well “grounded” President who is not only “calming,” but is also a descent human being, who is not saddled by selfishness and self indulgence.
