Steve Benen: At the most recent debate for the Republican presidential candidates, Mitt Romney wanted to show off his understanding of international affairs, and told the audience that Syria is Iran’s “key ally” and Iranians’ “route to the sea.”
Iran, of course, has 1,520 miles of its own coastline – and doesn’t share a border with Syria….
Today he has an op-ed in the Washington Post, calling for …. shaping a U.S. policy towards Iran that’s “the same as Ronald Reagan’s.”
Um, Mitt? The Reagan administration sold Iran weapons, in violation of an arms embargo, in order to help illegally finance the Contras in Nicaragua…..

The Obama Diary 
hi everyone
Winner!!!! Hiya ourmanflint, evening everyone.
Suh-weet! You got a really good smile here, OurManFlint! 😆 This man ALWAYS lightens my heart. His and his wife’s smiles alone can boost the national health. I wouldn’t be surprised if there have statistically been fewer stress-related illnesses or heart problems in USA since their arrival in the WH
Evening!
I missed most of the President’s press conference today, but the part I saw was fabulous! His responses were masterful, so well delivered, just about one of the best – I think – he’s ever conducted, among a million bests!
Just saw a snipet with the ? from that moran, henry, the response was priceless. lol!
Gosh he’s gorgeous. Sorry. I can’t help it.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL….ME TOO…NAUGHTY MATTTT DROOL HERE!..:)
I’ll sit on the naughty mat and drool over POTUS with you any time, Sue. 😀
Better unfurl the wide mat, ‘cuz I’m scoonching right in beside ya!
The thoughts that flashed in my mind after seeing that picture should earn me an extra large corner and a bucket of ice! 🙂
LOL. Dirty mind! 🙂
Guilty as charged, Your Honor! 🙂
Make room for me also. HZ
Be a TOD pal and make room for me!
Thanks Chips. First time in the winners circle. Stepped away for a bit. Great pic of PBO.
I thought folks here might like this song form my blog “I Want To Be A Janitor” it teaches kids the Republican work ethic (or maybe not.)
http://www.richieville.com/2012/03/sing-along-with-laurie-1.html
Ha! Tweet that to Mankini! He’d think you’re a supporter!
Can a man get a prize for first for a change?
How’s that?
Ourmanflint should be VERY happy. And Japa…. you KNOW Japa is cheezin’ just like our lovely FLOTUS in this picture!! 😀
Who, me? Chips, you better add ourmanflint to me and yardarm on the list. And I am sure a few others woukld want to be on that list.
Yuper! He can join the squad.
Gorgeous photo! Gorgeous First Lady. Love that dress.
JOB, Chips Chica seems to have a secret cache of Obama pics that were not previously published to keep us salivating non-stop. Not that I’m complaining as I totally appreciate the new views, but I have to admit I wonder with whom she has behind-the-scenes connections. I lurve the happy, relaxed face AND the way the body wears the dress. 😉
vc – You are right about Mrs. Obama’s “relaxed face.” She always looks well rested. Reminds me that my grandmother used to say you’ll always sleep well, if you “have a clear conscience.” And you are also right about the secret cache or hidden treasure trove or personal stash of new photos that Chips keeps bringing to us: who care where she gets ’em, as long as she keeps sharing!
But the Obama’s BFF said FL Michelle is depressed and gloomy being in that big ol stuffy White House. Oh dear, who am I to believe; you or someone who’s trying to sell books????
Well TD, I “ain’t” selling anything, 😉 but if this is what gloomy and depressed look and feel like I can only say “May I have some?”
JOB, l am way past ecstatic that CC can Periodically Produce Previously ‘unPublished’ Pics of the Pres & his family from her secret cache, but I confess I also love to tease her at every opportunity. {She sometimes hits back so beautifully I watch in admiration. Of course it’s usually amk who stirs up trouble but he’s been sooo good lately….. /running to hide wherever amk hides out/
Please don’t hide. While you’re watching Chips’ hit backs, in admiration, I’m watching your hits! And I don’t think she minds all that teasing, eh? Not for the worthy cause that she’s taken on here, of initiating the meet up place for others in Obamaland!
Uh, me. 🙂
Very nice. This is for all the guys like LL. Yardarm.
I know I’m not first, since I spent too much time reading the goodies.
So did I LL. I saw Lovey and had to watch him first.
LL, I left part way when I noticed the new feed, which means I’m going to have to go back eventually. Can’t bear to feel I might be missing something important on either thread. 😆
Hahaha. Glad you acknowledged that.
Congrats on first, omf…. wtg! Great lineup tonight, as usual… thanks Ms Chips!
I wonder if Newt’s so tired because he takes sleeping pills so that he doesn’t have to have sex with Callista?
I know, that was catty. Meow.
That WAS catty, LL. Just the thought almost made me lose my dinner… EEEeeeeeewwwww
I still haven’t forgiven Chips for starting the whole “Mankini Newt” meme.
That’s one couple I’m SURE the talk is better than the act.
There’s no messing with that hair.
Ha!
Lib-e-ral! Ssssh! You don’t want to trigger CC’s 😈 twin.
Or is she slipping him the pills so she doesn’t have to have sex with him. After all, either one is enough to give nightmares.
LL, your piece on TPV was terrific. Thank you for delivering so many memorable essays.
Darnit, I guess I’m a pol fanatic then, cause I wasn’t gonna watch the returns, but now I’m watching it cause the coverage on MSNBC is not half bad it’s definitely way better than CNN. CNN in an effort to be “fair and balanced” relies too heavily onf wishy washy old school partisans on Dem side who just are NOT willing to go for the jugular and are too quick to be “respectful” to the other side. The only 2 people who actually put up a fight is Paul Begala and Roland Martin and unfortunately Roland’s out at CNN and there is only so much Begala can do. Donna Brazile I like because she’s a NOLA homegirl, but she is just too concilatory towards scumbags like Ari Fleisher and the like. Also, the anchors on CNN are not tough at all. They like to talk tough, but other than Wolf Blitzer occasionally the whole anchor cast of CNN are patsies.
So my predictions: Romney wins OH and possibly TN.
My hope just cause chaos is that Santorum wins OH and TN.
But I still think it’s Mitt’s night.
Uh oh, Pres. Obama said “I make no apologies for being chauvinistic.” Let’s see how long it takes for that comment to be taken out of context.
Damn, ya gotta HATE when the President is the smartest adult in the room.
I caught that also isonprize.
Fox News Exclusive “Obama hates women”. New unearthed secret video footage of the president admitting he is chauvinistic. Hannity will have details at 9, along with new details of the famous Michelle Obama “whitey” tape.
Hahahahahaha!!! 🙂
Sad that it’s so close to the kinda stuff they would actually say.
YOU’RE RIGHT…THEY’LL MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THAT COMMENT…I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF THOSE OBAMA HATERS. THEY DISGUST ME! WE HAVE THE VERY BEST PRESIDENT AND AMERICA IS BLESSED TO HAVE HIM AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY!
Wow, your right. That will be taken out of context. I had to look up the definition online. When I think of chauvinistic, I think of someone who is sexist. I didn’t even know it meant militant devotion to one’s country.
He said the same thing in the speech in NY the other night and I was like huh?? Had never used the word in that context before.
It’s because the only time we ever hear that word is in the phrase, “male chauvinist pig”, someone who feels superior to and demeans and belittles women. We rarely hear it in this other context.
POTUS said that?
Yes apparently it also means fanatical patriot and militantly devoted to one’s country. Did not know that whatsoever.
Neither did I. Always thought it was sexist. See, he can “school” us too. 🙂
Ah! So he used it in that context. Thanks!
Jessica, the use of chauvinist to mean “super patriot” was how I first learned the word in my high school days before the women’s movement. Oh how time does fly!!! People used to say of the proud and haughty Charles DeGaulle that he was a French chauvinist. Any president who can casually use the term “international fora,” as PBO did in a Newsweek interview, would be very familiar with the original meaning. Yes, PBO knew exactly what he was doing.
Yeah, he was talking about promoting America as far as wanting the country to have the best roads, bridges, broad band, etc. And as Jessica said it means a totally different thing. This will surely fail if the Repubs think they have something. Yes, the man who has 2 daughters, an independent minded wife (WHO HE WORKED UNDER) , who was raised by a single mother, and then a single grandmother, is chauvinistic. Yeah, good luck with that.
🙂
case closed.
Ok, now I KNOW hes screwing with them now. None of those fools would know the “other” definition for chauvinistic, and they will probably pounce like a cat in heat on that one.
Yup, he is totally baiting them. And like the fools they are, they will bite and make complete fools of themselves.
Aslyfox, it’s actually the first definition. It’s just that, somehow, it got tagged with “male chauvinist pig” He is really messing with their heads!! I think it’s hilarious!! 😀 😆 😀 😆 😎

I think you’re right, slyfox. He was testing just how good their vocabularies were. I’m sure they’ll prove deficient.
Yep, it just chaps them all the more when he shows off that durned Book-Lurnin’ of his.
Why, that uppity-so-and-so! Who does he think he IS?!! Ejmakayshun is for SNOBS!!
Well, ASF, the man has got to have some fun!
I here by declare Anotherslyfox as this evening’s winner of the best witty comment on TOD! Can I please get a second?
THANK YOU FOR THE ACCESS CHIPS…WAS ABLE TO CATCH PBO ON CSPAN…THIS PRESIDENT NEVER WEARS DOWN…JUST LIKE A TIMEX…KEEPS ON TICKIN!
Where the hell are all the Democrat Senators and Congress memebers, and why must President Obama have to fight all these battles by himself?
HELLO! WHAT’S NEW? THEY’VE ALWAYS LEFT HIM OUT THERE ALONE…THEY DON’T HAVE THE BACKBONE OUR PRESIDENT HAS! THE OTHER ONE WHO HAS DONE SOME TERRIFIC FIGHTING IS DNC CHAIR..DWS…NOW THAT’S A REAL WOMAN. I LOVE HER!
A rift?
That’s why I only identify myself as an Obamademocrat. I really get pissed off with most of the democrats in Congress (with a few exception) with their lack of visible support for President Obama. They’d rather stayed in the background talking to useless reporters about their disappointment in PBO, and how he doesn’t call them on the phone or invite them to the WH. Basically they want PBO to babysit them and do their jobs for them at the same time. So disappointed with the lot of them spineless and not fit to be called democrats. I don’t know what I’m going to do after President Obama serves his final second term in office.
FOR SURE…I NO LONGER IDENTIFY AS A DEM EITHER…I AM DEFINED AS AN OBAMACRAT….THE DEMOCRATS HAVE REALLY DISAPOINTED ME THESE LAST 3 OR SO YRS. THEY HAVE NOT STOOD UP FOR THIS PRESIDENT IN THE SAME WAY THEY STOOD SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH OLE BILL CLINTON…YEAH, AN’ OBAMACRAT I AM!!!!! 24/7….AND I AINT ASHAMED OF IT EITHER!!!!!
BTW.. I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER ON THE OTHER POST…WERE THOSE OBAMA SNEAKERS REAL AND IF SO…WHERE CAN I GET THEM?
I want ’em too!
Keep asking, Sue! I wanna know too! My son would LOVE them!!
You know if I were to buy one I don’t think I’d be able to wear it. I’d just put it in a place of honour. 😆 😆 I suspect if you bought one for a child it would cause problems at school. I remember there was a time here when a certain popular brand name sneaker caused all kinds of theft, fights, etc at school. This Obama sneaker, I think, woud have the same potential.
That’s why I’d buy one pair to wear and one pair for the kids to look at behind 2-in thick plexiglass. 🙂
Oh, I didn’t say anything about him WEARING THEM!! 😆 😆 😆
D & Ison – 😛 😆
No Sue, they weren’t real. I did a Google image search and all the results were about art, artists and drawings. No stores or online retailers came up.
THANKS FOR THE INFO GOBROOKLYN…MAYBE I’LL HAVE TO DESIGN MY OWN!…:)
Not political, but of interest to a lot of people
Here’s a small clip of Oprah’s interview with Bobbi Christina. The whole interview airs Sunday on OWN.
http://www.oprah.com/own-oprahs-next-chapter/Sneak-Preview-Oprah-Interviews-Whitney-Houstons-Family-Video
Thanks for posting that. I really wanted to hear what Bobbi k has to say about her mother’s death.
I have not read anything on this blog of late about why Sen. Brown is ahead of Elizabeth Warren in a poll of late in MA? I would think with the women’s rights issues he would be lower than she is in the poll.
I wondered about that too, OG. 49-41 was that last one I saw. What’s up with that?
Yeah, I’m confused. I thought everybody was in love with her. Has she always been running behind? Is it money or did she make a mistake?
No, the emoprogs were hyperfocused on her when they were still in the “OBAMASUX” mode. Now that she and PBO are clearly in the team, the interest is gone. But the true Democrats are going to vote for her come November.
Elizabeth Warren will have the great good fortune to be running in an presidential election year when turnout will be very high in a blue state like Massachusetts where Dems outnumber Rs. It’s early days.
It’s very early still and voters aren’t paying attention to the senate – yet. Once Elizabeth Warren starts to campaign and debate scott brown, you will see those numbers change.
PM Carpenter had a post on this, saying that once she was branded as liberal her support fell in relation to his. It was more a post about how we let the word liberal get away from us, so there weren’t a lot of details about the race. Sorry I don’t have the link — haven’t figured out how to cross link on my iPhone. I have a lot of faith in Warren, though!
LL, I agree with you. It is so hard to be first when there is so much to savor here. Thank you, Chips for everything! I just viewed the whole press conference of the WH pool of fools. That was so wonderful from beginning to end. He keeps taking those wannabe journalists to school and back.
I just love to watch him chew them up and spit them out.
The lady in red is so “hollywood”. She sits as she has arrived and everyone there should be glad that she showed up. Why do the same ones get the front row seat? They are so disgusting. While watching them ask questions, I could not believe that they get paid to do this and was hoping that Sandra Fluke would pop inand ask an intelligent civil question.
There was no interest or mention of the devistation of the victims of the tornados nor any follow up question of the President’s plan to support homeowners and especially the armed forces families. They were so busy trying to setup the President with aha questions.
I had the pleasure of meeting Congrssman Payne at an event last year. What a wonderful man and an avid supporter of the President. It touched my heart that he expressed his condolence to his family. We have true gentleman for a President.
‘There was no interest or mention of the devastation of the victims of the tornadoes nor any follow up question of the President’s plan to support homeowners and especially the armed forces families.’
THIS is what I was hinting at when I popped in on my lunchtime. Whenever I check out a press conference I get the distinct impression the so called reporters have absolutely no interest in what is being said. They never seem to at least reference the current point/s raised by the speaker before launching into their prepared GOP questions. IMO they do not take anything new to their own audience because they are never open-minded during the presser. I once asked Jay on Twitter why these guys are not rotated out of the front, or something similar, but got no answer. 😉

I’m watching MSNBC for awhile and see Tamron Hall and remember hearing Lawrence O’Donnell and she are dating on this blog the other day. Interesting! I had been wondering if Nora O’Donnell or Kellie O’Donnell either one might be married to Lawrence. So guess not.
None of them are related.
Man, WAY TO GO LOD!!
All the men on twitter are going nuts about whatever dress she’s wearing.
I wish I’d seen it. She’s scrumpdelicious. Go Lawrence!
I think this would qualify as “awesome sauce”…
Regina King to Play Shirley Chisholm in Biopic of First Black Presidential Candidate?
http://madamenoire.com/143447/regina-king-to-play-shirley-chisholm-in-biopic-of-first-black-presidential-candidate/
Please, please, please, let it be true!!
Well, I was going for her to be Michelle Obama first, but Shirley Chisholm is good too. Who will play Barbara Jordan?
Hmmm good question.
I read that Saundra McClain (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0565619/) just recently did a one-woman play about Barbara Jordan and got good reviews. Apparently in one scene she played both Chisholm and Jordan. Intriguing. If it comes to Atlanta, I’d go see it.

Exit polls-
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/super-tuesday-exit-polls-ohio-voters-divided-over-most-electable-versus-most-empathetic-candidate/
Jovie, it does boggle the mind that people think Rick Santorum shows empathy with their problems–a man who can’t see beyond his own nose. As for Mitt, he skipped that word empathy in the dictionary and throughout his whole life. It takes a human being to feel empathy for another and, with Mitt, one part of that equation is missing.
I am so proud and happy to be on the winning Presidential team. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 IN A LANDSLIDE!!
So let it be written, so let it be DONE!! Press on!!
I WANT ROMNEY TO BE THE NOMINEE, I WANT THAT LIAR CRUSHED.
Here’s what will happen…President re-elect Obama will defeat Willard in approximately 44 states or more in a landslide from each state and that way there will be no way that the voter intimidation can take effect. Willard will be run over and all that will be left is a greasy spot of his former self.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO WINS IN THE GOP CIRCUS…PBO WILL CRUSH WHOMEVER!
It’s so obvious from twitter and the on camera folks that Romney has won Ohio. It’s like when POTUS was gonna announce that we had caught and killed Osama Bin Laden. You could tell that the reporters knew what the news was, but they had to try their damndest to keep it mum so as not to upstage the POTUS.
This is exactly how is seems to be going right now in terms of Ohio.
Tennesse and oaklahoma looks like Santorum!
They’re all wearing sweater vests? 🙂
LOL!
Rimshot!
Romney is leading in Ohio by 3 points. The fact that Romney cannot beat Santorum in Ohio by double digits bodes poorly for Romney in the general. Romney only beat Ron Paul by 12 points in VA – when he should have swept Virginia with at least 70% of the vote.
Indeed, hf! And, the ‘turnout’ in all these places is the deep bad news for the Republicans and they know it.
#LandslideOBAMA2012 ……. Let’s Get It Done!
Bobfr, Think we should ask for the election to be brought forward (to June, maybe) so that we can get it done and get on with the business of cementing the economy? It sure would save a lot of wasted time and money, and take these no-ideas Republican politicians from the public sphere. Maybe I should drop the suggestion of a specific new voting date on social media like the OWS original instigators did? /just kidding. I do know – I think- that the November election date is governed by law.
Unfortunately, nothing can be done about the date of the election as it is regulated by law – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election
However, vcprezfan I could not agree more with your sentiment!!! I wish it could be tomorrow 🙂
#PRESSON
Lack of enthusiasm in Ohio-

But…
OT, but a little brevity on this “super” night, this is why the people like Prince Harry better than William:
“Prince Harry Races Jamaica’s Usain Bolt”
He is such a ham.
That was cute! 🙂
Got me thinking about the upcoming Olympics in London. Sure wish I could be there in person. Will have to settle for sleepless nights at home in front ot the Telly chanting U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A this year!!!
Of course, one will be King, and one has to be the one who married Wallis Simpson. Hell, if I were second in line, you know I would be more hammier too.
yeah, I understand the difference in their standings, but still I suspect that even if Harry were to somehow become heir apparent, that he’d still not lose that precocious side. I think both boys show the 2 sides of the same of their mother. Harry’s all Diana id, and William is Diana’s conscious.
Good stuff. That’s my country or should I say countries? Got tons of family both in JA and England.
You know, that Newt video reminds me of the scene in Fresh Prince where Will says you’ll meet some fool named Grady. Just replace the name with Newt.
Oh, it was this one.
I heard that somehow Elizabeth Warren sort of messed up on the birth-control issue. Don’t know how, but I heard that on MSNBC last week.
Elizabeth Warren used to be a Republican. She probably has very conservative views in certain areas even though she seemed
“progressive” when it came to economic issues.
Well, she has fallen way behind Scott brown. Something happened in the past month.
She fucked up.
Didn’t Scott Brown vote for the “Blunt’ amendment? I am heartbroken over Ms. Warren’t drop in the polls. We need that Senate seat. I hope she is able to make a comeback. Scott Brown may have voted with the dems a few times but not much.
I’m thinking its still early. Right now, its still a primary fight. Plus, unlike in the soon to be general, the focus is on just the Republican candidates. Just make sure her campaign gets her supporters out on election day and registers supporters, and its all good.
Interesting discussion on the word “chauvinist”…..yes, the way the President used it is the original meaning….the only one I knew until the past twenty years. Those stupid FOX people will twirl themselves crazy until someone defines it for them. Oh, the pleasures of ignorance!
I just heard my first “It’s good news for Mitt Romney”
Ding! Time to take a swig of Guinness! Glug, glug, glug! Pace yourself, now. It’s gonna be a long night. 🙂 : -)
I was watching Romneys victory speech earlier and could not stand the lies about PBO and hearing the crowd cheering so I turned on my Presidential Concert that was shown on PBS last week. I had not watched it yet. You know the BB King, Mick Jagger one at the WH. Watching the whole thing with Prez Obama chiming in on Sweet Home Chicago at the end of it cheered me up. I will need to limit my watching of Mean Romney’s speeches.
@billmaher: Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout
The only one who’s looking bad is Rush Limbaugh………what a stupid comment by Bill Maher.
He is feeling the fire as well.
I just read that The Quitter is saying PBO should give back Maher’s money because Maher called her the c-word.
that’s how stupid she is. Bill Maher gave money to a Dem SuperPac NOT the Obama campaign.
Stupid…
Setting aside the fact that he was accurate becuase she is a c-word, Governor DOLT is in the public domain and gives as good as she gets.
Exactly, Dave. Whereas Ms. Fluke is a private citizen who was speaking out concerning a public issue.
Saw a Yahoo news title when logging onto the site tonight saying Palin is staying open to being the GOP candidate. I guess she figures she can wait until all the hard work is done then get nominated at the convention. I have not figured out why she has not come to the realization she cannot stick with anything to completion. In researching her during the ’08 Primaries I discovered she had quit many things in her life besides later the Governorship. She quit as Mayor, then the energy job she was appointed to before the election to AK Gov. It seemed like when I read her online info that she might have adult ADHD. I had had a student teacher in my classroom with it once and recognize the symptoms.
You know, its shit like this that makes me wish McCain to get severe oily diarrhea. Then again, he could already have it the way he looks at everyone now.
Remember, he’s media. ALL MEDIA WILL PROTECT EACH OTHER, LIBERAL AND CONSERVATIVE!!!!! Media will always trump political leanings in the media world.
A couple of times you guys have posted Bill here he’s said some really coarse/crude things IMO, to the point where I stopped following links to him. So I certainly see why he’d defend Rush.
Just when maher does someone decent he comes back with something even more STUPID. If he read the “aploogy” than he’s an idiot and if he didn’t read limpdick’s “apology” than he’s a dumbass. You look bad maher so just stfu.
From Williards’ press conference. So whatever the Question is, say you have been clear and/or straightforward and then bash the President and lastly wrap it up with some nonsensical gibberish. Oh yeah, and don’t answer the question, Rinse and Repeat.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Question: You said you stand with the Syrian people. Would you support airstrikes like John McCain has suggested, or barring that or other direct involvement from the U.S., how is your position different from that of President Obama?
Romney: My view is that we should state very clearly our opposition to Mr. Assad. The president took a long time to reach that conclusion. I also believe that it is essential for us to work with Turkey, as well as with Saudi Arabia who are of like mind with us in certain respects with regard to Syria to encourage the arming of the Syrian rebels.
I also believe it’s important for us to recognize that the Alawites should receive communication from us and from others — that there is a future for them in Syria after Assad. Our — in terms of military action I have not taken a step at this point to encourage military action on our part. That’s an option for us, but have not reached that point at this stage. I’ll continue to be briefed week to week as to the developments in that country and uh, and that could change at some point in the future, but at the current stage I’m not favoring military involvement, direct military involvement by the United States.
Question: John Kerry went on the Senate floor today and denounced your op-ed statement on Iran as empty rhetoric. What’s your response to that?
Romney: My view on Iran is pretty straightforward — and that is, this president has made some extraordinary errors. This president did not put in place crippling sanctions when he came into office. He has dawdled for three years to finally get sanctions in place. Secondly, when the people of Tehran went to the streets to protest a stolen election, he had nothing to say. And then with regards to military action, he seems to be more concerned about Israel potentially taking a military action than he is about Iran becoming nuclear. I think it’s very important for us to make it very clear that a nuclear Iran is not acceptable to the United States, is not acceptable to the world. And believe that is something that I should continue to speak about and I hope the president picks up the same refrain.
Source: Politico
Question:Why are you trying to sound like Barack Obama in this press conference. Saying straightforward over and over again still makes you sound like a jackass.
My thoughts on Mitt Romneys foreign policy speeches is that I want my President to be cautious in reviewing the situation before acting or saying something. What I have seen with Romney is he just says whatever comes to mind and then sometimes even within an hour he will say he didn’t understand the question and has a different opinion. That has happened repeatedly and I would like it tallied so that it can be brought up by the President when Romney accuses him of acting too slowly. I’d rather have a complete review with thorough understanding instead of the quick unstudied response that Romney tends to give.
shameful.
GOP depravity knows no bounds.
Are you kidding me? That Breitbart was a lying bastard. Lord forgive me for speaking ill of the dead. But just when you think these Republicans couldn’t be any crazy, they show you that oh yes they can.
The gop congress are fooking assholes and will go down in history as blathering idiots. They pay tribute to a creep who liked to ruin lives but won’t pay tribute to those who did away with bin laden who was responsible for killing over 3,000 American citiizens on 9/11. What does Mr 9/11 ghouliani have to say about that? “Good job, assholes”.
Ohio’s Black population is ~ 12.6%
Turnout in this GOP primary 1%
I hope Ohio is ours! It’s only fitting with Kasich as their mean spirited governor.
What. In. The. Hell
Wow. That’s just, wow.
Ick. That’s just ick! (Also.)
Wowee—Kazowee! Yikes! Ay yi yi! What in the world? And how can that be real? Like from another planet. And I’m not a snob.
I’m not a snob, either, dotster, but if they’re going to be dense enough to support someone like newt who would kill our country then I will call them out for the brainwashed star spangled idiots they are.
Kelly O’Donnell must be so proud of herself for digging up that crew. UGH. I detest the media.
Oh dear…..And Newt was caught falling asleep on camera today. What a train wreck.
Folks, that’s Newt’s base! Exactly as Cynthia Tucker called it on Jennifer Granholm’s show yesterday. Need I say more?
Yep, old, ugly, dried up white women who gasp and clutch their purse when they see me in Acworth. YEP, I know who and where these people are with those godawful shirts.
I just tweeted their comments. Unfreakingbelievable. I swear we live on different planets.
And Lil Rickey came in SECOND!!!! YOWSER, WOWSER!!!
Twitter warriors we need to tweet this:
Hah!
WOOOOOOTTTTT!!! GOOOOO OFA!!!!
That’s awesome!
Just in-
Joe Biden to give major Campaign speech in Ohio next week!
Ben Smith @BuzzFeedBen
We need to tweet this to the high heavens!!!
Huge turnout so far for PBO voters.
Tweety Mathews’ new thing is to keep repeating that the Republicans are blowing an election “they can win”. I’ve heard him say this at least three times in the past few weeks (I swear I try not to watch him but he’s always on MSNBC) This “they can win” stuff (of course they could win theoretically) is Tweety’s way of digging at the president like he kept doing when he was pimping his JFK book. It’s like he’s saying that PBO is such a failure that the Cons should be competitive. This is total garbage coming from racist Tweety. PBO has done a phenomenal job as president and the Cons have absolutely nothing to offer but hate and incompetence.
I am really tired of Chris Mathews and his disrespect of the president. I ‘m certain if PBO was white, CM would not be spewing this nonsense. I truly believe this and I’m white, btw. F that lying Tweety.
I’m also sick of Tweety saying that the Obama PAC’s and President Obama will run the same kind of nasty and negative ads that Romney ran. He said some Dems told him this and they can’t wait. He sounded like a junior high school kid running home to tell tales.
No President Obama will not run the same kind of nasty ads, he will answer the lies the GOP put out and the lies their super pac puts out there.
He can’t handle the fact that PBO is a success. Despite the “chill up the leg” thing, Tweety has never respected the president. I’m so tired of old-white-men like him. I remember his endless blathering in 08′ about how then candidate Obama could never win PA because of the “rural white voters”. Tweety just loved that. Haha, PBO ended up winning PA against McCain. Now, I loved that.
President Obama will only have to tell the facts about willard and tweety would know that if he would just get his head out of his a$$ for 5 freaking minutes.
Such bullshit. Whether Pres.Obama is up or down, no one in the GOP can beat him.
This!
THIS:
Robney opening up a 6 point lead in Ohio.
Oaklahoma and Tennessee looks good for Santorum and Santorum might finish 2nd in Georgia.
MSNBC is calling Tennessee for Rick Santorum.
Wait is it against Palin’s contract to appear on CNN? She was at a caucus in Alaska and CNN is actually covering it and Palin actually had an extended interview on CNN.
BWHAHAHA.
Even Greta Van Susteren tweeted “Gov Palin on CNN???”
That’s “1/2 gov palin”, Greta!
Awhile back we were told on this blog that Governor and Senator were titles not to be used after that person is out of office. It was also noted that the press ignores that ettiquette ruling.
BWWAHAHAAAA!!

……………….they began their surgical odysseys with lobotomies at an early age….
LOL!
Hahahahahahaha. So true.
Why is Callista giving Newt’s speech?
probably because Newt decided it’s time for a nap… just like at AIPAC.
you could be right. He finally started on his own speech and he is coming off a bit strange.
Maybe he is tired. burned out.
Because he is napping?
he could use it. He seems a bit “off”.
As in rank, or as in putrid?
lol as in mentally unstable.
Probably because of the heat he took about the comment he made when she said she was giving up her opinions for Lent. He said, in essence that that didn’t count. She probably went upside his head.
you may be on to something because he did his best to try to look at her adoringly. But he couldn’t quite pull it off. His smile was strange and he was staring past/through her. Maybe they were testing the waters to see if she could be his secret weapon. I dunno. It was just weird.
Why is Newt talking about he survived a rough two months as tough as June/July 1958??
He was probably ready to dump a wife for a later model and was thinking 2 months was way to long to move on.
lololol too funny.
I couldn’t listen to his entire speech. It was too weird and too embarrassing.
Maybe he fell asleep and when he woke up he thought he was transported to 1958? I watched the movie, Midnight in Paris, over the weekend and I enjoyed it. I am not a big fan of owen wilson but he was good in it….Woody Allen found his replacement.
The United Steelworkers union is endorsing President Obama for reelection.
“This is the right time to do the right thing for a man who has proved he is right for the job,” said USW International President Leo W. Gerard. “The President has turned around an economy he inherited that was nose-diving towards a depression by focusing on jobs, manufacturing and enforcing U.S. trade laws.
Aren’t we a bit late, jovie ? I saw this 10 hours.
Tch, tch, tch.
🙂
Came home a short while ago, pretty worn out, but those cartoons above have me ROTFLMAO, now feeling energized enough to put a dinner of sorts together! Thank you for the boost! Btw, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I heard Rachel say he has a gas pump in his logo now. Pffft!!
amk, check out the spangly red, white, and blue ladies up screen. These are the Newt supporters. Do they look or sound like they follow politics and even know what he said about gas? The only gas they know about is the kind their husbands emit after eating dinner. I live around these folks and it can get to you.
LOL!!!!!
Thanks amk, I’m gonna send this to my large family (all my cousins) in Georgia to fill it up on Newt!!!
🙂
What was turning out as A Robney night, has Santorum and Gingrich keeping this thing going.
Very good news for John McCain!
But but Gallup…
He is very bad in their poll today! Very! Weird!
BREAKING NEWS!! It’s looking good for President Obama in the Democratic Primary in Georgia — with 44% of the precincts reporting (as of 8:48PM), the incumbent has 100% of the Democratic votes cast! Yaaaaayyyyyyyy!!
[…and she ducks for cover as the pillow cannons fire up!] 🙂 🙂 🙂
He also has 100% of the DEM votes in Ohio!!!
Yes. People who don’t need viagra for erectile dysfunction came out for President Obama today here. It was the old raisinettes above and their cohorts that came out for NewtGrady.
Yep, 56% reporting now. Some big counties in Metro Atlanta, still aren’t even in yet.
So far the count is over 44,000 Georgians went to the polls to make a statement today. They didn’t have to. No one else was on the Democratic ballot. But it was important to them. Look at that, Friends! Wait til November when people are REALLY motivated — YOU JUST WAIT!!
YES… WE…CAN RE-ELECT HIM!! 4 MORE FOR 44!!!
Hell yeah, lets turn this BIATCH blue so those wigs will just melt off those Flagpole lamps at Gingrich’s campaign headquarters.
YES!!!!! lets do it, so we can see those Daniel Boone style wigs melt off those Flaglamps at Gingrich’s headquarters above.
Tee hee hee!! 🙂
I waited until my daughter came home, and she and I cast our votes for PBO. We felt good about it, too!

FYI TOD family and Chipsticks,
On the other thread, there was a post from Gail. I just want everyone to know that was NOT me.
I always have been and always will be GGail 🙂
Well now, I’m just gonna have to go back and read that…
‘k, now I see why you wanted everyone to get the two of you straight, GG.
So sad to hear that Other Gail lost a loved one in Iraq and now these idiots are playing political games drumming up talk of war with Iran.
Politics are supposed to stop at the shoreline even in an election year. The Republicans have no soul and they are NOT patriots. It’s hurtful to our military families and dangerous for our country. I pray that America doesn’t get jaded or complacent by the time November rolls around so we can put the adults back in charge of Congress and keep our brilliant President on the job!
thanks Dudette for getting my message. I didn’t want y’all to think it was me who had lost a love one in Iraq.
The unbridled self angradisement and ARROGANCE of this gawddamnmutherfuckin’deeesgustinglyingcheatin’sackOshit FRAUD Leroy Mankini…. REALLY makes me wish I wasn’t a political junky with this crap ON all the time.
Ok…OK….deep breath…PERSPECTIVE. POB WILL WIN!POBWILL WIN! POBWILL WIN!!

You’re on a roll tonight! [snort… snicker…pun intended] 🙂
When we these bufoons grow up? Teleprompter…reallly? didn’t they see the press conference, or does willful ignorance rule the day? The Grinch talking about bowing, debating, $2.50 gas, yet nothing about what he stands for. Now he’s lying about what PBO said in terms of gas prices. ‘Cuse me while I go find a soft shoe at the television.
wow, that post was about as coherant as Newt’s rant. If you can understand it, thanks for your patience. If you can’t, that’s ok, I was suffering from Newt on the brain. ughhh. and who told this nut he was a comedian?
That’s ok, I didn’t watch Newt, but unfortunately was screaming myself hoarse at Robmey and Sanitoram. Liars all,..
I have Newt on mute. i can’t believe he is still talking. Did he actually make another crack about President Obama and the teleprompter.? There GOP pols are such juveniles.
lolololol I had to put him on mute too Ladyhawke. It was just too crazy.
Nothing IS what he stands for.
And THATS WHY HE WON GEORGIA!!!!! These people elected a man THEY NEVER HEARD OF OUTSIDE OF GAINSVILLE to the Governor’s Office. They are prime real estate for assbackward low info Republican voters (STUPID, SCARED, BIGOTED,and FAT)
Dave!! Did you hear that Newt Gingrich? Did you hear him! I cannot believe this crap! He needs to win so that Obama can mob the floor with him.
I volunteer to be part of that mob. Then as PBO says, ‘grab a mop’ then flush.
Count me in!
Good Evening Everyone:-)
There’s nothing more inspiring than listening to our President!!!!
an oldie but a goodie 🙂
Oooooo, good one Kasai! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
You welcome…I refuse to listen to these idiots….they bring me down
but I can listen to PBO…all day long 🙂
Thanks kasai, we needed a rush of Fresh Air !!!
You welcome Gail….:-)
Thank you, Kasai, God we love him!
Yes we do…..
You welcome 🙂
Thanks K! I can never listen to PBO without being moved one way or another! We have to keep these spirits picker-uppers close by, especially after summer. They never fail to work.
Popcorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! How long is this speech gonna be????
I don’t get how Paul could be so anti-government but he is running for President.
He’s a con artist.
Need. Food. Now.
Do you think Clarrisa takes her helmet off at night and lay it on the dresser or anchor it to a bald head mannequin? I think she has 1000s in a special closet that she grabs on her way out the door. It’s held in place by a spike in the top. I think she’ll crack if she makes a sudden turn.
She sleeps sitting up straight. Newt has never ran his hand through that hair in the throes of passion.
Breaking- Saul alinski wins GOP primary!
Yes we can!
just watched ed fucking henry vid.
lmao at this pox tool opening and losing mouth like a fish when PBO took him to the tool-shed.
what a fucking pathetic pos for a journo. pahdon my FF.
I have other things to do, so why, why am I watching this foolishness in my home state of Georgia? I wish I had the self-discipline not to watch iike PBO.
Oooh, I am growling, right about now.
Choos the OFF power button! Your mind will become calm and serene, but it takes a while to disengage. Much less aggravating to just read about it here, the silence is soothing.

So Palin tells CNN she’s on standby and ready to swoop into the GOP convention to save the Repubs and America? Wow—-just wow.
yeah, why do all the hard work ? just crown me at the convention. what a fucking twit.
dotster3, did Palin really say that?
Ok, not a fan of David Frum, but his twitter feed is hilarious, very snarky. Wonder if he’s been drinking?

Obama’s back to being the whiz kid that causes his enemies to destroy themselves. Breitbart’s heart exploded, Limbaugh’s spleen exploded and Henry’s brain exploded.

whoops
BTW, How smart was the Obama admin to do that press conference today? So now in every speech so far, the MSM plays POTUS answers to each issue brought up by candidates as comparison to the speech.
yup. I commented about this coupla threads back.
Talk about kicking mittmentum in the nutz.
Have I not told you all time & again how RED ND has become? I just read on MSN that Santorum has 52% of the vote here.. isn’t that about the highest vote percentage he’s had throughout this primary?
The good part is that mitt has already lost 40% of the states today.
They also let the Bison run free and loose there. A few probably moseyed into the voting booth and just couldn’t stomach Mitt after learning about how he treat animals.
Wow does it freak anyone else out how much Santorum’s daughter looks like Rick himself?
It’s kinda freaky right.
So his kids aren’t going to college….hmmmm….wouldn’t want his magnificant 7 to grow up to be all snobbery doncha know.
Poor thing.
Sometimes when a daughter looks exactly like her father she can be beautiful. Look at Malia. But sometimes it just looks scary like the Santorums! LOL

wow, sick rantorum’s lead is increasing. will OH upset mittmentum today ?
wait, wait, Santorum’s own kid is yawning during this speech. He’s young though, but still.
Seriously guy, David Frum is really snarky tonight.
Oh and Romney may have won VA tonight, but Ron Paul seems to be getting 40% of the vote totals…WTF!!!
You know you’re boring when you rown kid stands reight behind you and yawns. Poor thing, he’d rather be anywhere else. He’s gonna pull a Newt in a minute and fall asleep standing up.
OK so I got this new compputer today and the learnign curve for the new keyboard is gonna take awhile. ‘cusie the typos, but I hope you get my drift.
Does soporific mean Fired Up in republican?
S.S. GOP is sinking
100 years ago.
Has all of Romney’s counties in OH come in yet?
I think it’s hilarious that over 150,000 people came out to the Ohio primary and voted for PBO (I believer there was some state-wide/local elections, but still)…wow!
lamh35, is it on the msm?, I must have missed that.
WOOT!!!!
74% of precincts reporting in GA — 76,000 votes cast for PBO! We’re on track for 100K!
Btw, Clinton got Primary 95K votes in March 1996 for his re-election
HI everyone! thanks for cracking me up as usual. 🙂 🙂
We’re all on a roll tonight, gobrooklyn, I feel as if I’ve been away for ages! Really must do some logs now, will try to get back in a bit, if my head does not roll off my shoulders!
Wow at least the speeches will be finished early. Wow Nate Silver says now Santorum is a slight favorite in OH. He’s maybe about 60-70% likely to win…
Holy crap.
Holy crap indeed. If it were closer to St. Paddy’s Day, it’d be the St. Paddy’s Day Massacre. If Rickie holds on and wins OH, expect a mass sphincter explosion all across the GOP.

Ok, can we call the 2012 Republican Super Tuesday primaries BLOODY TUESDAY?
Ok, watching the results come in on TPM, reading your comments, and can I just say that I have a huge shit-eating grin on my face right now? I think this’ll call for a cocktail once dinner gets here.
@The Fix
But robots do. Why do you hate robots? Luddite!
Saw a clip today that showed why Ann Romney said she was going to speak for Romney from now on. I had seen that clip before but had not seen what preceded that comment as I did today. Her husband introduced her as his heavy weight secret weapon or some such phrase. I do remember the heavy weight part. He caught himself in midstream saying he didn’t mean it the way it sounded. Apparently he has problems with saying unthinkable things in his own life too as who would call their wife their heavy weight weapon? I know if my late husband ever called me that in public or private I’d be a weapon alright but he would be on the receiving side.
Okay ODF what’s the latest on OH HI O. I can’t bare listening to the lying weasel’s voice.
I’m starting to really like David Frum, as much as I can like any Republican.
Ditto. I actually feel the same way about Steve Schmidt.
They fully realize just what a cesspool of pathology the GOP has become, but can’t quite quit the party like John Cole and Charles Johnson.
😆 True, true.
Speaking of Kucinich..I wonder what’s up between him and Marcie?
Don’t you wonder, just who are these people? It’s like Scottie beamed them down, instead of up. BTW, I think Mitt and Clarissa are better suited. They both have helmet hair heads. They could set them on matching wig mannequins and maybe trade them for a little kinky time. Then again, we know Clarrisa is up for that, and Newt won’t mind. Anne, well she’d probably go along just to keep Mitten’s paws off her.
I swear it makes me think of that movie They Live (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live). Perhaps there’s your answer.
Great movie! Encapsulates the 1980’s Reagan Era perfectly.
why does Romney’s eyes always looked red-rimmed like he had a big cry right before he came out?
Because he did.
Since it’s not fashionable in high society to hold his nose, he’s holding his breath so he won’t breathe the same air as the sweaty masses. The build up seeps out through his eyeball sockets, thus the redness.
I really think there is something wrong with Mitt Romney. How is it possible to have someone running to be the leader of the free world and everything he says or quotes is a lie? He just makes stuff up. And he lies with such ease? This is so dangerous. He is a pathological liar and I think he needs help. This is not normal. I have no idea what Romney stands for and on top of that I don’t believe a word he says about anything. The thought of him being anywhere near the White House is just horrifying.
I have said before that I think Mitt is a pathological liar too. I think it is dangerous in that the person lies about absolutely everything without even having a reason to lie. It goes into not even knowing they are lying. How would foreign leaders ever believe anything he says? I am amazed how many of our own believe him.
Caught part of Romney’s speech tonight and noticed something wierd – what’s up with all the rapid eyelid blinking? Cannot bear to listen to him – so muted him and just watched for a few seconds. To me, all his body language looks like a child caught lying, seems to reflect someone out of his element just trying to keep afloat.
with almost 40%, sr (not that SR) leading in OH 38.7 to 35.8.
loving this.
Mitt Robney you are a lying sack of dung ! “Just you wait, ‘enry ‘iggins, just you wait!
You’ll be sorry, but your tears’ll be to late!
You’ll be broke, and I’ll have money;
Will I help you? Don’t be funny!
Just you wait, ‘enry ‘iggins, just you wait!
Just you wait, ‘enry ‘iggins, till you’re sick,
And you scream to fetch a doctor double-quick.”..He makes me steam..and not in a good way
That’s AWESOME.
And it’s my wish for all the 1% who mock everyone else, and have no clue.
I want them to –
– not have bus fare.
– worry about paying rent/mortgage and not know if they’ll be evicted.
– have to choose between medicine and their next meal.
– not be able to find a job that pays all their expenses.
– live paycheck to paycheck and still have to do without things because they don’t make enough to cover the basics.
– know what it’s like to eat a lot of Ramen.
– understand what it’s like to be homeless.
I want them to understand we are all our brothers’ keeper.
Eventually I want them all to really understand what Jesus meant by, “What you do to the least of your brothers, you do to me.” As well as the entirety of The Sermon on the Mount.
I want them to be ashamed in their hearts and know that President Obama walks the walk of a student of Christ, and that they are more like the hypocrites Mathew speaks of in 6:5.
These monsters are as far from grace as I think is possible.
OMG.
Accidentally caught Newt McSumgerson on MSNBC and was almost violently ill.
I cannot watch these monsters, I just can’t. I bow to all of you here who have stronger stomachs than I.
Fear not Sister Tally. Scroll up and watch the video that Kasai posted (around comment #212). It’ll soothe you.

Former Mossad Director: Romney ‘Is Making The Situation Worse’ With Iran
======================
Mitt Romney’s oped in today’s Washington Post claimed — without offering any evidence — that Iran has a “nuclear-bomb program” and that the Islamic Republic is “racing to build a nuclear bomb.” Currently, U.S. intelligence and the IAEA do not believe either of these

how the heck is Ohio ‘ too close to call’ with 56% of the state’s precincts in?
they just need to gird their loins and call it for Little Ricky.
56% in? What site are you on?
I’m watching MSNBC live…now it’s 61% in
I expect Ted Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugent will switch his endorsement to Rickie if he wins OH.
47% in, Santorum (naughty giggle) is up by 2.

Romney is such a loser. I want PBO to crush him.
PBO might not get the chance. Caribou Barbie may parachute in and snatch the nomination. At which point I may just have to start believing in Divine Providence again.
Oh, that will never happen! the establishment will not allow it.
The “establishment” has lost all control of the Brown Shirts. Mittens should have had this sewn up long ago. The fact that Rickie is on the verge of winning OH is just proof that the loony base has taken over the asylum.
Ahhhhhhh, democracy! Tastes good.
That would be freakin’ amazing.
Holding your hand and giggling uncontrollably, ck!! 🙂
Can’t stand the man!
THIS guy is winning in OH??
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/03/06/438790/santorum-single-mothers/ In 1994….wonder if he feels the same today?
“What we have is moms raising children in single-parent households simply breeding more criminals,” he said. When Santorum wasn’t comparing single mothers to animals, he still pressed the issue of out-of-wedlock births and crime. He told the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1994 that “we will never solve the crime problem unless we solve the welfare problem. They are deeply intertwined.” […]
BREEDING more criminals??????????????
Did Dennis the menace win! I heard it was really really close! Whatsup?
Marcie has a “small” lead, according to TPM. A “small” lead of 8%.
Unfortunately LL I think it’s the opposite – the Menace has an 8 pt lead. I hope I’m wrong.

Go, Sicky, Go!!!!! I was bummed when Willard won Michigan — if Sicky hadn’t self-destructed, he could have taken it. On the other hand, if Sicky hadn’t detoured into his crusade against contraception, we wouldn’t have the Limpballs takedown, so The Universe is working it all out, I guess.
Anyway, I digress… Go, Sicky, Go! Ohio, you can do this!!!!!
If Rick Santorum wins Ohio, does he just get bragging rights for winning the state or a lot of delegates too?
Santorum didn’t qualify for delegate counts in some counties in OH, so he may win popular vote and therefore “bragging rights” but Romney may still win the most delegates.
Brit, this article is much longer and has a detailed description of how Ohio delegates will be awarded. Santorum’s lack of organization will hurt him here.
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/rick-santorums-ohio-delegate-problems-pile-up/
In the three districts where Santorum did not submit a delegate slate at all, he will not be able to receive any delegates. In the six where he submitted only a partial slate, he is eligible to be awarded only the number of delegates he submitted, assuming he wins a particular district.
Chris Maloney, a spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party, said the leftover delegates will be considered “unbound” and the campaigns will be able to file a petition with the state party to claim them. Once such a petition is filed, Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine is required to impanel a “committee on contests” composed of three members of the Ohio GOP’s central committee to sort out the delegate awards.
What’s clear is that Santorum will be competing in Ohio on Tuesday handicapped by the fact that he is ineligible to receive nine delegates and perhaps as many as nine more, or more than one-quarter of the state’s delegates.
Dan Amira:
To summarize: Romney has won his home state (MA), a liberal state that borders his home state (VT), and a state where his only opponent was Ron Paul (VA). He’s lost everywhere else.

As I said upthread, mass sphincter explosions all over the GOP.
Fun!
Santorum didn’t qualify for delegate counts in some counties in OH, so he may win popular vote and therefore “bragging rights” but Romney may still win the most delegates.win the most delegates.
This is true. But no one will be talking about delegate math. The only topic of conversation will be the raw numbers.

Ok, damn you to Hades for putting those two awful songs in my head!! Quick, someone put on Adele!
Here ya go!!
Hahahahah!!! Genius!
Sorry LL…here’s this one is for you:-)
Mmmm, sweet Adele.
MSNBC just said 65% in…..Santorum ahead 14,000 votes…..heads are exploding there…
lol….:-)
Just passed Clinton in Georgia…
85% in; 96,255 so far. Gwinnett County is still out.
sweeet!
70 percent in and Little Ricky’s up by 15k!!!
go Little Ricky!
67% votes in for Ohio, St. Torum ahead by 14,529 votes. There’s still a heavy favored Mitt county unaccounted for so they still won’t call it. Poor Mo’money, can you imagine how much he’s spent in $$$ and time (years) running this race, only to be taken out by one of those knock down clown toys (you hit them, they tip over, then bounce back up)?
PBO now has over 400k votes in OH. Sweeet.
Santorum is ahead by 12% in ND caucus. Just over 50% approving!
Just a little walk down comparison lane:

Ruh-roh…
we’re at 72%, and Little Ricky’s still leading 🙂
St Torum wins No. Dakota. Yowza, the deer and the antelope play!
CNN is trying with all its might to give Ohio to flip flop.
So is chuck Todd! They must have gotten the word from GOP HQ!
So yeah lil ricky won North Dakota
Senator Santorum just won North Dakota, Ed must be excited!
It’s 10:30pm. It’s 2012. Why the hell can’t they count the votes and call the election in Ohio?!?!? Absolutely ridiculous. 👿
90% in/104,727 votes in Georgia!
That’s what I like to call a Peach-flavored BOO-YAH!!
No wonder the President told Mittens “good luck” this afternoon. It’s been a tough night for Willard. Still neck and neck in Ohio.
sick rantorum wins ND.
Ooooops! Tweety is back to the Bradley effect for the President.
Really? Tweety, come on man!
🙂 Short version 🙂
The Bradley effect? Really??? What in the heck is wrong with Tweety? I just heard him say that. He is pulling that crap out of his a$$. So he has that feeling that the Bradley effect is going to happen in November. Why does he come up with all of this negative s&&&. No one responded to him.
I wish Rev. Al would say something when Matthews says that crap.
I just heard Tweety talking about the under reporting of Santorum as far as favorablity….and then he said something to the effect that PBO will have a problem with that in Nov …did I hear right? He made it sound as if whoever the R is, that PBO will have a hard time because the polls will show less favor for the R than is really there. WTH?
Tell Tweety Pat Buchanonis on line 1!
It looks like Robney is going to win Ohio. He is finding votes in his ass!
Amazing! 1 minute ago, he was up 15k now he is up 2k!
Regardless, he has already been damaged by this evening. He’s barely eking out a win after outspending Santorum 4:1 – there is no reason why he should be still struggling to wrap this up.
Yep, he was in his concern troll mode. In 2008 I was ready to throw my mug at the TV because he would not let up on the Bradley Effect! Well, he is at it again!
Time to head for the harbor. Between the East Cobb Kickers above and Chukie Todd on MSNBC, i’m done For a minute I thought I would see parasoles and bonnets and some dude serving up mint juleps. CYA!
Via the AP, Marcy Kaptur is growing her lead over Dennis Kucinich, winning 56% to 40% with 62% reporting. The race has not yet been called.
I hope MK win. Kucinich is way ti fickle to retain that seat.
Maybe they’ll give him a spot on Current TV.
Ohio:
Santorum 37.57% 323,487 votes
Romney 37.27% 320,906 votes
myth and ricky only separated by 2k votes! wow!
Martin Bashir rocks!
I love Martin. I just started taping his show last month. Boy, I have been missing a lot. I love his accent and his sense of humor. 🙂
Martin Bashir rocks, but I hate Chris Matthews.
I am sick of Matthews and his Bradly effects, he don’t like President Obama so why don’t the ugly bastard just say so. And then shut his freaking mouth. I hate Chris Matthews.
I just tweeted Chris….about that Bradley effect crap…we need to stop him..
I told him why would he want to bring race in the mix? He really makes me sick
I sent the hardball fool a email.
Ohio fact: remember that diebold is based in Ohio and is used for voting here.
diebold is the vote-stealing voting machine owned by a stauch rightwinger who promised that he would guarantee that OH) would go to shrub and it did after the tampering in key precints around Cincinnati.
the Ohio gop will use diebold to see that willard win here! Ohio votes will be manipulated tonnight to get the desired establishment result
Yeh and the guy who put the fix in on Dibold rerouting votes was on his way to Washington DC to testify and what do you know, the plane he was flying crashed and killed him
Good article describing Ohio delegate votes:
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/03/rick-santorums-ohio-delegate-problems-pile-up/
….In the three districts where Santorum did not submit a delegate slate at all, he will not be able to receive any delegates. In the six where he submitted only a partial slate, he is eligible to be awarded only the number of delegates he submitted, assuming he wins a particular district.
Chris Maloney, a spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party, said the leftover delegates will be considered “unbound” and the campaigns will be able to file a petition with the state party to claim them. Once such a petition is filed, Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine is required to impanel a “committee on contests” composed of three members of the Ohio GOP’s central committee to sort out the delegate awards.
What’s clear is that Santorum will be competing in Ohio on Tuesday handicapped by the fact that he is ineligible to receive nine delegates and perhaps as many as nine more, or more than one-quarter of the state’s delegates…..
ok wow, Martin Bashir was hilarious just now on MSNBC. Ya’ll should get the video.
He called Mitt Romney the “Prince Charles” of the Republican party.
He’s next in line to sit on the throne, but people in UK would rather his sone Prince William take the throne than Prince Charles.
It seems weird, but the way Bashir analyzed it was awesome!
Yep, he would know. Go Martin, Go Martin, Go Martin!
The Prince Charles of the Republican Party!!!LOL!!! Loved it. Bashir is a treasure.

Are You A Slut Flowchart

Hahahaha!
500 people came out to vote in Wyoming-
Robney is ahead by 100 votes or 24%!
Yikes!
I’m beginning to think that the last OH vote numbers are taking so long because they are trying to “find” enough votes to put Romney over the top.
How can they give vote totals to reporters, but not the state elections dept?
Oh and I like Steve Schmidt he seems to be genuine, but I think he was being a loyal GOP when he said that even if it really close in OH but Romney “wins” then Romney still goes ahead to the next contest with the wind at his back.
It’s amazing what you can rationalize when you want your team to win.
I agree. There has been a lot of vote fixing going on in Romney’s favor.
I agree, too. Myth has been stealing votes this entire primary. Iowa, Michigan and now Ohio.
Mo’money’s is going to pull out Ohio and win, but not by enough to make it feel brag worthy. St. Torum gets the bragging rights cause this was a must win for Mitty. Oh well, are the primaries over yet? Can we just proceed to the general, just annoit somebody and get on with it.
The Lying Flip Flopper has taken the lead in Ohio. He out spent Sick Rick 10 to 1 they say and still he just manage to win.
Happy Super Tuesday folks! I can’t believe it has been 4 years since I became an Obamabot. 😆 Until Super Tuesday 08, I had assumed that Hillary would be the nominees, and that I would be able to cast a vote for her in November, against the Republican. As a woman, I thought it would be great to cast a vote for the first national female nominee for President. She was familiar, if not a bit *too* familiar in my mind ( I had more than a bit of concern about about the idea of 20+ straight years of alternating Bush/Clinton executive power). I knew Sen. Obama had potential, but I honestly didn’t think he would be able to overpower the Clinton Machine, at least not in 2008. When he did so well that night, I paused and let reality fall in; Barack Hussein Obama may be the nominee. It was an almost giddy realization, and I wouldn’t even let my mind go to a possible “President Obama” at that point. I listened to his victory/stump speech, and I nodded in full agreement. For the first time, I felt I was seeing a person and a movement that spoke directly to people like me. I felt like he was someone I could be FOR, instead of just voting AGAINST someone in an election. The next 9 months was such an adventure, and I became a complete political junkie. Nothing will be able to duplicate the emotion of that time, but now I am proud to be a supporter of the most successful and productive president of my lifetime.
Speaking of Obama, have you guys seen this video. It’s Chris Rock, trying out new material in LA, and talking about going to the President’s 50th B-day party. Warning, typical Chris Rock language:
Love me some Chris Rock!!
Perfection >> “For the first time, I felt I was seeing a person and a movement that spoke directly to people like me. I felt like he was someone I could be FOR, instead of just voting AGAINST someone in an election.”
Thank you, QuietObserver.
I hope Ms Chips features your comment sometime tomorrow.

Ribney just went ahead by 2k votes in Ohio.
Lol!
Okay, I’m tired of hitting the Refresh buttton on the Georgia Sec of State Election Results page…
We’re up to 92% precints reporting, with 108,000+ votes for PBO. Well done, I say!
I will NOT let the 824,000 votes on the Klown Kar side dampen my spirits. [Can you believe more than 1500 people each went ahead and cast their votes anyway for Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and John Hunstman? By the way, everyone and I mean EVERYONE was still on the ballot, inclding Roemer and Johnson EXCEPT Mr. 9-9-9!]
TPM says that Palin voted for Newt in Alaska. No surprise there.
Love Chris!
NBC says Mitt has won Idaho!! Let’s get those peelers out. Tater tots for all!
We pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of Diebold, and to the kleptocracy, for which it stands, one nation, under Norquist, indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for some (but not even for them).
Yep, that sounds about right.
I’m off to bed I gots a job to go to, but I think Romney’s gonna pull this one out in OH.
I’ll leave ya’ll with the video of Martin Bashir calling Mitt Romney the “Prince Charles of the GOP”
As far as I’m concerned, Romney was the biggest loser of the evening – when you consider the amount of $$$ that he spent and how the media was readly declare him the nominee after he swept all the races tonight. He’s been weakened going to the next primary this Saturday where it will be mostly Southern States, and Santorum might win most of them.
Myth bought this election. He outspent ricky like 14-1 and still can’t get a clean win. pathetic
That’s interesting since all Oh. news outlets were reporting very light turnout all day.
Breaking News: Capital One Drops Rush
March 6, 2012
By Silence Dogood
Capital One joins the ranks of 34 sponsors who have dropped their advertising on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
There are more than one million repubs in OH ? Guess kasich isn’t enough of punishment for these people.
Double Woot!
Over 16,0000 signatures since Mar 4 on the petition to Flush Rush off the American Forces Radio Network
Sec. Panetta, Get Rush Limbaugh Off Armed Forces Radio NOW! No tax money for abusive, divisive, insulting language.

Hope this helps a bit, Dudette:

Is that number 1.28 mill just Republicans, or the total vote?
Just the repubs.
Looks like willard might eek out a ‘win’ in OH.
Overall, it’s dismal failure for him not to land the knock-out punch.
Losing 40% of the states today qualifies you as ‘teh preemptive nominee’ how ?
mehmney.
Dismal. Failure. Stop. End sentence. Goodnight amk!

Gunnite Pamela.
Looks like Mean Jean may lose her primary!!! OH, that would be so so so SWEET.
Who’s Mean Jean? And from where?
She’s that idiot winger from Ohio who is always badmouthing dems and PBO but is the first to shove her SOTU program in his face for an autograph.
http://www.house.gov/schmidt/
jean schmidit (spelling) is one of the most extreme republican members of congress in Ohio. this would be her fourth or fifth term but she is one of the nastiest ones
I just read about the dude who defeated her—–who is even more conservative than Mean Jean—–and that makes him really, really, really conservative—-extreme—–Iraq war surgeon, failed Cinnci mayoral candidate, wants to rid the country of evil “Obamacare”, thinks we should still be in Iraq etc. etc. etc.
from very conservative area of Cinnci
Apparantely she lost, so did kasinich.
Sorry if this was mentioned upthread, just joined in & was cracking up @ Martin Bashir. Totally paraphrasing here. He said that Mittens is the Prince Charles of the R’s, wanting it for so long, desparate to succeed to the throne but people would rather have Prince William. Mitts is emasculated by his past, can’t convince anyone, and the longer this goes on, people become less interested. He’ll go battered & bruised & fall over the finish line , and then have to face POTUS. Martin! Dude!
LOL! I don’t know how it missed it earlier, but I just watched the video of Noot falling asleep while waiting to address the AIPAC convention. That was freakin’ awesome! The crowd was stunned to silence! Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Thank you Chips! 🙂
it is hard not to believe that the gop machine in Ohio just STOLE the final votes to make sure that willard wins.
One can paraphrase: Willard winning in Ohio, it is the Diebold voting machine “stupid”!
Twitter Brigade, you can raise questions about the role of diebold voting machine in the willard election vote totals
Well, then, in the Bashir mode, Prince Willard just got a taste of the throne. Just a tantalizing taste!
I got so dam tired of Chris Matthews and the crap he was talking about that Bradley effect. I usually don’t watch the GOP primary, but I tried to watch some of it last night and I wish I hadn’t, why you ask? Chris Matthews. Next time I will go right back to not watching.
A right-wing birther extremist who openly calls the President “The son of Satan” is the new mayor of Clovis, NM. His opponent, the current mayor, came down on the wrong side of the “licenses for illegal immigrants” issue and she paid the price. I want to feel sorry for the people of the town, but I can only feel bad for some of them. Actually, I feel like I want to throw up. We must fight hard to keep the President in office…we can’t be complacent, not with lunatics like this guy out there!
What is wrong with the people of Clovis, NH? Crazy .
Lord have mercy. More whitebred than “Hillary for You and Me”, more eerie than “Its Raining McCain” here is….
LOLLOOOLLLOOOLLOOL!!! Aww….bless their little hearts….Thanks slyfox. I needed a laugh to kick off this morning.
Kucinich looses. Kaptur beats him out. Wonderful.
Thanks Yard for that good news. On that note, I’ll bid a fond good-night!
Good, no more fundraising off of stabbing PBO in the back. At least not until he tries to resurface.
SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks mate, for the news 🙂

Here’s The Woman Rush Limbaugh Is Attacking Today; ‘Totally Bizarre,’ She Says
Limbaugh spent the entire first hour of his program today discussing “The American Way of Eating,” a new book by journalist Tracie McMillan, who logged almost a year working low-paying jobs at Wal-Mart, Applebee’s and other places to learn about the food industry. Despite the backlash he’s faced for branding law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and “prostitute,” Limbaugh didn’t shy away from the matter of McMillan’s sex. On the contrary, he referred to her as an “authorette” and attempted to tie her to a broader trend of “all these young single white women” who are threatening Americans’ freedoms.

Mitt Romney was projected the winner of the 2012 Ohio primary on Super Tuesday by the AP.
This is a developing story… More information to come…
By .84% of the total vote. Well done!
We missed you Ms Chips..Hope you had a good Evening:-)
Night Everyone…….Sweet Dreams….
I am watching Jon Stewart right now interviewing Julianne Moore about Game Change. I wish I got HBO cuz I want to see it. She just said Alaska does not have an accent like how she talks and I can testify to that having lived there for ten years. She said it was more of an Idaho accent from her Father but with her own embellishments on it. The clips look like she has it down.
Kucinich lost his seat in Ohio. Sorry but I really don’t feel bad for this jackass anymore.
GM, I tried posting this twice last night. Let’s see if it works this morning. Former Congressman not allowed to vote yesterday. Story is from The Tennessean: http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120306/NEWS02/303060082/Former-U-S-Rep-Lincoln-Davis-says-he-denied-right-vote?odyssey=mod_sectionstories
INDEED…JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE POLITICAL DECEIT WE WILL BE FIGHTING THIS YEAR! EVERYONE NEEDS TO CHECK ON THEIR VOTER REG. TO PREVENT LAST MINUTE GAMES SUCH AS THIS!
Tweety is really pissing me off! He cannot stop talking about the Bradley effect fir the President!
He says people are so mad at the President that the polling is better than what it really is, and people just are not going to vote for this President.
He is a fucking scumbag. All night long and now the Morning, Bradley effect, Bradley effect.
Omg!
He is totally back to shilling for the GOP!
Now, he is saying that nothing about Robney will matter in the fall, that it will be a referendum on this President.
He is a Prick!
Also, Robney speech last night convinced one Person- Tweety!
No speech last night convince Chris Matthews of anything, Matthews is a man with some issues. He have long been turning against President Obama, now he has just come up with more bull sh*t, this Bradley effect. Why is it that everyone sits there and let him speak such crap and don’t come back at him. Not even Rev. Al.
GM jovie, I see you’re in good mood this morn. 🙂
I am always in a good mood, sometimes not to convincingly!

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden is stepping up his efforts to help President Barack Obama win re-election, kicking off a series of speeches in states critical to the Obama campaign.
Biden will speak at four events in the coming weeks on key issues in the presidential campaign, including an address next week in Ohio, a campaign official said Tuesday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy.
The vice president has been a top surrogate for Obama, appearing at fundraisers around the country and courting voters in battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire. The speeches are expected to mark a more pronounced role by Biden in the campaign as Republican presidential contenders compete in primary contests this spring.

Rise and Shine 😉

To change the subject, because I am darn sick of C. Matthews. I saw a Lays Potato Chip commercial, and guess the song they were playing? Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together. Thanks to our President singing that that line from that song, Al Green music have gotten alot of attention lately. Al Green owe the campaign a big donation. 🙂
Good Morning TODville! I have risen, but am not sure about the shining part. Just got a late phone call for work just after I’d settled myself in for a day in the cyber work field. Humph! Called back to verify if the robocall system made a mistake and am awaiting a call back from the live body responsible – she is currently on a break. Till then I’ll go see what was said upstream, though I may have to leave abruptly.
Hope you are all enjoyng a good Wednesday, ruminating on Willard’s ‘victories’ last night. 😆
Phew! I am now enjoyING my Wednesday morning more as the ‘live body’ just called and my robocall was a mistake. She asked if I wanted to come in since I had reflexively accepted the job, but I said a pleasant ‘no, it’s okay’. 😆 Now I can meet my girlfriend for lunch as we’d arranged earlier. 😆
