Nice of this guy to reveal the real purpose the voter ID, aka voter suppression laws. But he’s in for a rude awakening if he thinks this stupid law is going to save Romney’s bacon in PA. OFA has been all over this for months. We are making sure that every voter contacted has a photo ID or knows how to get one. And I can tell you from ‘on the street’ personal experience that PA Democratic voters are hopping mad about the suppression laws and are more motivated than ever to get out the vote.
Bueatiful photo….especially the one with him holding that baby…what a keep-sake photo for that parent to pass on to their daughter…her with the man who help to make her future much brighter…
I’m reposting my last comment because I didn’t see the new thread….
It’s rare that I have a link for Politico on my TL but this is so pathetic….it’s the transcript of the exchange between Romney’s spokerman and journalists. There’s a lot more questions but I posted a few.
Reporters sought to get more clarity from the campaign in a Q&A with traveling spokesman Rick Gorka, but to little avail. POLITICO’s Ginger Gibson sends a transcript of the lengthy exchange [NOTE: this is a rush transcript.
QUESTION: So does he think it’s wrongly decided?
GORKA: “The governor supports the states’ rights to do this. It’s a 10th amendment issue.”
QUESTION: So he thinks it’s constitutional?
GORKA: “The governor believes the states have the rights to craft their own immigration laws, especially when the federal government has failed to do so.”
QUESTION: Does (Romney) support the law as it was drafted in Arizona?
GORKA: “The governor supports the right of states, that’s all we’re going to say on this issue.”
So if Mittens is such a strong supporter of states rights, does he support Montana’s right to limit corporate contributions, or does he support SCOTUS overturning that state law?
So we have a man, running for the highest office in the Federal govt, that doesn’t think that we should HAVE a Federal govt that works as it should? Morons
Christi, this Gorka guy sounds like someone in a police interrogation room who’s been told by his lawyer not to incriminate himself. How long do they think they can keep this evasion and doublespeak up. PBO eviscerated Robney on the offshore, outsourcing nonsense. They just keep giving the president fodder for his putdowns.
A wise person once told me…”if you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything”. Without a core belief, you’ll only reflect the belief of your strongest influence around you…in Romney’s case it’s the money talking.
Just gpt off the phone with OFA/Chicago. Asked a question about Latinos and deportations AND had a suggestion for messaging change for PBO. As I listened to the speech today, and every time he speaks, he says that the wealthy need to help pay down the debt. I think that the messaging on that is not good. They DO, but the REASON why, is not to pay the debt down, but because they have unfair tax advantages that most Americans DON’T have! When people like Romney can keep money in Swiss or Cayman accts….and pay an effect tax rate of 15% while the rest of middle America pays far more…THAT’S what’s wrong! They said they would pass that along
so why are those 5 slackers on the bench waiting till the very last day to release info on ObamaCare? What’s the purpose but to duck and cover? The question is, who will they be ducking and seeking cover from? The American people or the asses in congress who’s lead on the presidential ticket was the mastermind behind ObamaCare while pissing away the governorship of MA?
Here’s an OBG posted earlier today and a tweet to accompany it … some of them definitely want to get out of town, but I also think they think Roberts may really want to punt on this one …
Totally stoked TOD. I recently told you guys that Gov. Martin O’Malley was following me on twitter – ME?!?!?! AGHHHH!!!! – and now the Lieutenant Gov of Maryland Anthony Brown is following me also. I’m beginning to cautiously like Mondays. 😀 😀 😀
Ut you are a twitter star–the best of the best. If there were a twitter Academy Awards , I would give you and Bobfr, statues for best actress and actor in a leading role. I stand in awe of both of you!
Franken: Pro-Reform Bumper Stickers Have ‘Just Way Too Many Words’
January 28, 2010
———————————————
“The opponents of reform have found their bumper sticker, their slogan, their rallying cry, it’s one word: No. You can read that on a bumper,” said Franken. “Our bumper sticker has — it’s just way too many words. And it says, ‘Continued on next bumper sticker.'”
Because the RW lunatic machine whipped everyone into a frenzy with the ObamaCare thing…when asked separately about each provision of the law…THEY LOVE IT! Stupid Americans
Yeah, i don’t want to hear anything about “Obama doesn’t do messaging well.” The MSM broadcast the GOP talking points to the exclusion of PBO and the Dems.
According to Frank Sharry, Executive Director of America’s Voice:
What hypocrisy. Romney claims that President Obama has failed to lead on immigration reform when it is Romney who is failing the leadership test. In fact, he comes across like the school kid who says, ‘I know you are, but what am I.’
The President’s record is clear: 1) he tried to move comprehensive immigration reform but was blocked by Republicans; 2) he fought for the DREAM Act but it was stopped by Republican opposition; 3) his Justice Department sued Arizona even though it was unpopular to do so; and 4) he provided relief to DREAMers in a bold executive move.
Romney’s positions are anything but clear: 1) he says he’s for immigration reform but has yet to articulate anything close to a coherent, comprehensive plan; 2) he says he wants to help DREAMers but promised to veto the DREAM Act; 3) he opposed the litigation that led to key parts of the Arizona anti-immigrant law being found unconstitutional; and 4) he says he opposes Obama’s executive action to protect DREAMers but won’t spell out if, as President, he’ll rescind it or maintain it. Nor will he spell out what and how his secret “long-term solution” for the DREAMers might look like.
Let’s just say that on immigration, Mitt Romney is no profile in courage.
Remembering this day 3 years ago is bittersweet for me. I was in the airport awaiting my flight to London to attend the middle weekend at Wimbledon when I heard the news about MJ. Cried all the way across the ocean.
I found out from my brother, TMZ broke the news. I didn’t cry until days afterwards when I told my mama thank you for taking me to the Jackson Five concert when I was little, I broke down. Later my sister told me she (mama) had to leave the room because she cried. It was a very bad day.
hush your mouth, DF!!!!! He is no leader, he’s something better than that! Willard Mitt A-hole R-money is a pioneer!!! A pioneer of Outsourcing er, “Offshoring.”
And the funny thing is that even his “working hard” for the 1% isn’t real work either way. God. Can you imagine that cretin as president? Norquist and the rest will be doing all the work and Willard will just lie back like a good little Victorian hothouse flower, thinking of England China while his puppeteers screw Americans out of life, liberty and their pursuit of happiness. what a fuckwit.
Reported: PBO and crew stopped at an ice cream shop and PBO bought our Jay a banana split and got a hot fudge sundae for himself. They’re like kids! LOLz.
I’m loving the look on the guy’s face. he looks like he’s having the time of his life!!! If it were me, I’d be slobbering all over him and SS would have to lock me up toot sweet!!
ps- like my ‘Murikan butchering of the french language? Git ‘er done!!!
Lisa, you are pure medicine to my spirit. You bring such wonderful laughter into my space. My neighbor probably thinks that I have gone crazy for sure. My laugh is sooooooooooooooo loud. Thank you, Lisa. You are the best. Love you, HZ
My heart is melting at seeing PBO with this little princess and the girl at the UNH ice cream shop. I love the little boy with the sign reminding people that this is our America, too.
I think people are simple…the majority of Americans don’t want to have to “think” about anything…they need a side by side comparison of what each candidiate stands for, and would enact, if they were elected. Mittens side might be blank, since he won’t say…or it might be a hot mess because he’s flip flopped so often!
Hi love, I notice that there’s a whole lots of really happy faces for me to look at today. Thanks. They perked me right up as I scrolled down quickly. I didn’t see any title about the ACA, so I assume SCOTUS is striving to create suspense? Ah well, they don’t know that whatever they decide, and whenever they release the news, we will still be #PRESSINGON.
I’m doing really well! I have three more days of work, then I can return to keeping a closer eye on you during the day. 😉 😉 Woooot! I’ll go check out ‘Rise & Shine’ after I finish this thread. Did you notice I was waiting for you this morning before I actually had to call it quits and go to work? 😆 😆
Chipstick please please please we need video of PBO and Carney at the dairy bar. I hear it was a good time and full of laughs. AP reporters are having fun teasing Jay Carney about the way he eats and the way he ate the banana split. 😆
Booman has some interesting and optimistic analysis on the ACA ruling. Here is his post and his response in comments. It’s a good read for those of us fretting over SCOTUS ACA decision. Any legal guys who agree/disagree with Booman’s analysis?
…The Affordable Care Act decision could be written by anyone. If Chief Justice Roberts is in the majority, he gets to decide who will write it. If he is in the minority, then the most senior Justice in the majority gets to decide. If Roberts joined with Kennedy to uphold the law, he probably wrote the decision himself. If he joined Kennedy to strike it down, he probably let Kennedy write it. If Kennedy split from Roberts to uphold the law, he also probably wrote the decision himself. So, the most likely authors are Roberts or Kennedy, which means we won’t hear the decision first…
So someone in comments wrote that they were nervous after finding out that Roberts wrote the ACA decision (can anyone tell me if this is true?). Booman wrote a longer more detailed explantion of his reasoning:
We are almost certain that Alito, Scalia, and Thomas will vote to destroy the ACA in part or en toto. Roberts and Kennedy, however, are the wildcards. Here are three likeliest outcomes.
5-4 to uphold the law. (Kennedy with the liberals)
6-3 to uphold the law. (Roberts and Kennedy with the liberals)
5-4 to kill the law.
(Kennedy with the conservatives) The ruling could be more complicated depending on issues of severability, but that’s the basic framework we are looking at. Now, if Roberts is going to stay in the conservative camp, that eliminates the 6-3 scenario above. But, as you can see, the 6-3 scenario is the only one where Kennedy isn’t the deciding vote. If Kennedy is the deciding vote, it is very likely that he wrote the opinion. You can maybe say his authorship gives a 50-50 chance. But Roberts authorship is a little more likely if he’s with the liberals in a 6-3 decision. And to go over this a little more, since you claim to be dense, my reasoning is based on how opinions are assigned. Go back and look at the three scenarios above.
If Chief Justice Roberts is in the majority then he gets to assign the opinion. If he is in the minority, then the most senior member of the majority gets to assign the opinion. In the scenario where Kennedy sides with the liberals in a 5-4 decision, Kennedy would be the most senior and could assign the opinion to himself. In other words, the liberals don’t have to woo him. He can choose to write the opinion for the majority simply by siding with the liberals.
This makes it highly likely that Roberts would grant Kennedy the right to write the opinion for the conservatives, too. In other words, if Roberts wrote the decision, he did Kennedy a discourtesy and kind of took his vote for granted. Perhaps he did that, but I take his authorship (which is still uncertain, by the way) as a good sign for these reasons.
Orange Julius believes that the law will be struck down. He knows the House has enough votes to sanction Holder. They’re hoping to go for a double whammy. two pieces of bad news in one day. Little stinker.
Had predicted last Wed., that that was very much the sub-text of Issa’s actions, apart from being really, really upset that AG Holder would not provide them a gratuitous ‘scalp’ of one of his Asst AGs and, even more so, because of his pressing forward on blocking obvious voter suppression efforts.
It would be rather remarkable if they actually vote AG Holder in contempt only to have President Obama pardon him and keep him on the job – which I have no doubt the President would do!! 🙂
If these idiots want confrontational theater they’ll get a dose of it that they’ll never forget. They do have no idea just how pissed most Americans are at Congress and that if anything is to be held in contempt it’s the Congressional #KOCHSTERS
Where is the Media on this information? the Democratic need to put this in an Ad. asap!!
Pennsylvania state House Republican leader Mike Turzai said this weekend that the state’s new voter ID law will “allow” Mitt Romney to win the state in November,
maybe there’s a secret code, like the one used to get into the Mormon temple. Speaking of that, I heard Petunia wants to deploy his fellow Mormons out across battleground states to get out the vote. I’m sorry, but the image of a bunch of young boys going out in their short sleeved white shirts and black pants well pressed and pleated and their hair conservatively cut, knocking on doors with a LDS bible in one hand and a pic of Petunia in the other has me cracking the heck up!!! 😆
I don’t think they know, but I suspect they fear that ACA might be upheld, in which case they will attempt to distract by pushing this contempt of court nonsense. Some think that they are aiming for a double whammy, so I say let them…they will find out.
from eugene robinson: ‘the supreme court struck a rare blow for freedom and justice on monday’ in it’s ruling on the arizona immigration laws. ‘analysts who see this as a split ruling with something for both sides are wrong. the obama administration won across the board on its central contention, which is that arizona was trying to usurp a federal prerogative.’ http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-one-country-one-immigration-law/2012/06/25/gJQAPy4A2V_story.html
Looking at PBO cradling those little mites so carefully I suddenly thought he would have been a great pediatrician. The kids and parents would have loved him. Oh, not matter, they already do.
Bain put up $10 million and raised $300 million in junk bonds through Milken while Milken was under investigation. Milken sold the bonds to mutual funds and institutions which lost their investment. The department store chain that Bain purchased with the money went bankrupt, and Bain made millions. And this guy wants to be POTUS.
You know what I’ve found interesting? In 2008 and now, the press is still interested in the relationship between PBO and Miche. No so much interest in Petunia and Mrs. Dances with Horses aka Mrs. Dancing Horses.
no, that was just me being snide about Petunia and Dances with Horses. it’s also just a general statement. How’ve you heard cooing over Petunia and his wife? Nobody cause they aren’t sexy, they aren’t the type of people you’d like to get to know and they aren’t interesting. They’re both the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.
By one count, Romney’s overwhelmed spokesperson was asked literally 20 times what the candidate thought about today’s ruling, and literally 20 times, the spokesperson refused to say. Even Byron York called the evasion “excruciating,” which is as good an adjective as any.
Remember, all of this follows a press release this afternoon, in which Romney spent 104 words talking about the Supreme Court ruling without taking a position on it.
Cowardice is an unappealing character trait in a presidential campaign, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Romney, to borrow George Will’s line, “lacks the courage of his absence of convictions.”
So he supports lying, cheating and stealing? I see…those “family values” showing again!
Nice of this guy to reveal the real purpose the voter ID, aka voter suppression laws. But he’s in for a rude awakening if he thinks this stupid law is going to save Romney’s bacon in PA. OFA has been all over this for months. We are making sure that every voter contacted has a photo ID or knows how to get one. And I can tell you from ‘on the street’ personal experience that PA Democratic voters are hopping mad about the suppression laws and are more motivated than ever to get out the vote.
So the Republicans finally admitted what we knew all along.
Typical Severely arrogant Stupid gopper.

Just gpt off the phone with OFA/Chicago. Asked a question about Latinos and deportations AND had a suggestion for messaging change for PBO. As I listened to the speech today, and every time he speaks, he says that the wealthy need to help pay down the debt. I think that the messaging on that is not good. They DO, but the REASON why, is not to pay the debt down, but because they have unfair tax advantages that most Americans DON’T have! When people like Romney can keep money in Swiss or Cayman accts….and pay an effect tax rate of 15% while the rest of middle America pays far more…THAT’S what’s wrong! They said they would pass that along
Good point, df. I think feedback is so important, whether we call Chicago or talk to our local organizer. That’s what makes a strong campaign.
Really great photos of what an Obama rally looks and feels like. Love the baby whisperer shots!
Love the NH photos!
Love that last pic of the back of POTUS’ head and the woman who looks to have tears in her eyes.
Tears in her eyes, indeed, I salute her remarkable self-control being that close to PBO… I’m sure I would have fainted! 😆

Mittens: NOT THE DECIDER!
Of course Mitt Romney is not the decider, the billionaires and millionaires who are putting money in his pockets would make the decisions.
yes–and that’s why he’s so slow to respond to new info. he has to wait for them to feed him his talking points.
Boom! http://thepoliticalcarnival.net/2012/06/25/poll-itics-president-obama-leads-in-new-hampshire/
Willard will lose three states where he has homes, Mass, NH, and CA. Hopefully he has a home in Utah to save a bit of pride.
Maybe he can quickly build a home in PA so he can lose there, too.

I had it on—-I didn’t note any change at all—-what was the prob?
Upthread,
People were complaining about Him!
So someone in comments wrote that they were nervous after finding out that Roberts wrote the ACA decision (can anyone tell me if this is true?). Booman wrote a longer more detailed explantion of his reasoning:

No one knows if Roberts wrote the ACA decision or not. That was just media speculation.
oh ok thanks. Either way though, this still seems ke good analysis based on actual court protocol, even if it’s a bit optimisic.
No one knows who authored the opinion.
oh, ok. thanks.
Is this in effort to distract from the SCOTUS ruling?
Orange Julius believes that the law will be struck down. He knows the House has enough votes to sanction Holder. They’re hoping to go for a double whammy. two pieces of bad news in one day. Little stinker.
bastards always overplay their hands. Cantor is such a disease ridden pig.
Orange Julius also said he got 98% of what he wanted – and we know that nothing was further from the truth.
They’re hoping to go for a double whammy, and yes, they will get one – straight in their faces.
AMEN. Him and Cantor need to take a very long walk of very short piers.
with rocks in their pockets
Looks like we get a double whammy on Thursday.
Looks like the GOP is trying to distract from the SCOTUS ruling which they might fear will be “good news” for PBO.
Had predicted last Wed., that that was very much the sub-text of Issa’s actions, apart from being really, really upset that AG Holder would not provide them a gratuitous ‘scalp’ of one of his Asst AGs and, even more so, because of his pressing forward on blocking obvious voter suppression efforts.
It would be rather remarkable if they actually vote AG Holder in contempt only to have President Obama pardon him and keep him on the job – which I have no doubt the President would do!! 🙂
If these idiots want confrontational theater they’ll get a dose of it that they’ll never forget. They do have no idea just how pissed most Americans are at Congress and that if anything is to be held in contempt it’s the Congressional #KOCHSTERS

OMG, UT!!! I just said that!!! That’s how transparent that toolbag is, {{SMH}}

Where is the Media on this information? the Democratic need to put this in an Ad. asap!!
Pennsylvania state House Republican leader Mike Turzai said this weekend that the state’s new voter ID law will “allow” Mitt Romney to win the state in November,
Don’t count on the MediaWhores to do their jobs, you’ll be waiting forever and a day.
Tweet to Lis Smith and ACLU!
So the voter ID is not for voter fraud, but to steal this election. Something we knew all along.
maybe there’s a secret code, like the one used to get into the Mormon temple. Speaking of that, I heard Petunia wants to deploy his fellow Mormons out across battleground states to get out the vote. I’m sorry, but the image of a bunch of young boys going out in their short sleeved white shirts and black pants well pressed and pleated and their hair conservatively cut, knocking on doors with a LDS bible in one hand and a pic of Petunia in the other has me cracking the heck up!!! 😆
Gonna piss some people off with that.
My comment or Willard mobilizing the mormons?

Yes WE Will
Them scheduling the contempt ruling the same day as the ACA is questionable. You think they know something we don’t?
no, i don’t think they know anything we don’t know. in fact, i think they’re scrambling.
I don’t think they know, but I suspect they fear that ACA might be upheld, in which case they will attempt to distract by pushing this contempt of court nonsense. Some think that they are aiming for a double whammy, so I say let them…they will find out.
The double whammy is what I fear, but I still believe the law will be upheld 6-3.
The way Scalia behaves I wouldn’t be surprised that he gave them a heads-up message.
Looks like Tweety is anti-repuke talking points today. How shocking.
from eugene robinson: ‘the supreme court struck a rare blow for freedom and justice on monday’ in it’s ruling on the arizona immigration laws. ‘analysts who see this as a split ruling with something for both sides are wrong. the obama administration won across the board on its central contention, which is that arizona was trying to usurp a federal prerogative.’

Ha! Cute!! 😆 😆
LOL!
Looking at PBO cradling those little mites so carefully I suddenly thought he would have been a great pediatrician. The kids and parents would have loved him. Oh, not matter, they already do.
Matthews talking about Milken and the other Bain articles!
Ok!
Bain put up $10 million and raised $300 million in junk bonds through Milken while Milken was under investigation. Milken sold the bonds to mutual funds and institutions which lost their investment. The department store chain that Bain purchased with the money went bankrupt, and Bain made millions. And this guy wants to be POTUS.
I think I saw a couple of TODers at that NH gathering—–the cheering, exuberant, standing gal and the one who was not going to be denied an Obama hug.
I’m not calling names, but I saw a TODer whose name starts with “d.”
You know what I’ve found interesting? In 2008 and now, the press is still interested in the relationship between PBO and Miche. No so much interest in Petunia and Mrs. Dances with Horses aka Mrs. Dancing Horses.
What are they saying now? Still worried about girlfriends from 1985?
HAHAHAHA!
no, that was just me being snide about Petunia and Dances with Horses. it’s also just a general statement. How’ve you heard cooing over Petunia and his wife? Nobody cause they aren’t sexy, they aren’t the type of people you’d like to get to know and they aren’t interesting. They’re both the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.
Lisa, did you see Tweety showing the clip with FLOTUS and POTUS talking about their first date? Tweety could not get over himself.HZ
Petunia and Mrs Dancing with Horses don’t look natural when they’re holding hands.
COWARDICE IS AN UNAPPEALING CHARACTER TRAIT
It wasn’t a trick question
By Steve Benen
————————————–
By one count, Romney’s overwhelmed spokesperson was asked literally 20 times what the candidate thought about today’s ruling, and literally 20 times, the spokesperson refused to say. Even Byron York called the evasion “excruciating,” which is as good an adjective as any.
Remember, all of this follows a press release this afternoon, in which Romney spent 104 words talking about the Supreme Court ruling without taking a position on it.
Cowardice is an unappealing character trait in a presidential campaign, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Romney, to borrow George Will’s line, “lacks the courage of his absence of convictions.”
