LMAO @ ‘paid for by the Jewish council for education and research’! This whole election cycle has just been a showcase of dem creativity and ingenuity. There’s a playfulness to the focus, drive and hard work in this campaign that I have never seen in a presidential race before.
Inspired by a great leader of course.
Hey TOD villagers. *****waves frantically from a high branch*****
OT, but Jesus H. Christ, if this pic isn’t photoshopped, it should be used to hammer Scott Brown for his “meh” reaction to his supporters racist actions.
Jeez!

What, a classless creature scott brown is. Jeeez, can wiat to cast my ballot for Elizabeth Warren and Potus. We Dems in MA demand our Kennedy seat back.
Just got back inside with pugs, thanks you Chips. You know, these people have nothing. Sooo shallow, soooo low, soooo pathetic….all took their lessons from Rove. We need to BURY them and with the debatea around the bend I’m sure our President is on it. Re: Dinner with PBO & Clinton….I hope it’s someone from TOD…you all deserve it.
It would be so cool if musicians came out to play for those voters waiting in long lines……just saying. Make it a celebration of our right to vote. No matter how long it takes, we will be there to exercise our rights…and those musicians could get some really good PR. Just thinking out loud
deserflower – That is brilliant. Kind of like all the pizzas that were sent around to various OFA field offices in ’08, if I’m recalling that correctly.
Agree, wholeheartedly, except that – apart from Congress, which I know nothing about – federal workers and federal retirees (I am one) also contribute to their group health care benefits throughout their careers and into their retirements! There’s no free lunch for the 47 percent.
“UPDATE: A Democrat with ties to the Obama campaign e-mailed BuzzFeed to flag a 2011 vote by Romney’s running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, in which he opposed additional funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs.”
Yes. Nearly ALL Republicans vote NO for any funding for the returning and injured. They just like to use the military as a prop. When it comes to protecting our veterans, abroad and at home, this meme that Republicans are better at this…is FALSE!
Wow, I was def one of the people giving Jim Webb the SEOD for some of his statements about POTUS, but damn if Webb didn’t just bring a blade across Romney’s ‘nads!
Nice way of saying, not only didn’t Mittens speak about the troops serving, but he also a Vietnam draft dodger. good on Jim Webb, good on ’em.
Governor Romney and I are about the same age. Like millions of others in our generation, we came to adulthood facing the harsh realities of the Vietnam War. 2.7 million in our age group went to Vietnam, a war which eventually took the lives of 58,000 young Americans and cost another 300,000 wounded. The Marine Corps lost 100,000 killed or wounded in that war. During the year I was in Vietnam, 1969, our country lost twice as many dead as we have lost in Iraq and Afghanistan combined over the past 10 years of war. 1968 was worse. 1967 was about the same. Not a day goes by when I do not think about the young Marines I was privileged to lead.
This was a time of conscription, where every American male was eligible to be drafted. People made choices about how to deal with the draft, and about military service. I have never envied or resented any of the choices that were made as long as they were done within the law. But those among us who stepped forward to face the harsh unknowns and the lifelong changes that can come from combat did so with the belief that their service would be honored, and that our leaders would, in the words of President Abraham Lincoln, care for those who had borne the battle, and for their widows and their children.
Those young Marines that I led have grown older now. They’ve lived lives of courage, both in combat and after their return, where many of them were derided by their own peers for having served. That was a long time ago. They are not bitter. They know what they did. But in receiving veterans’ benefits, they are not takers. They were givers, in the ultimate sense of that word. There is a saying among war veterans: “All gave some, some gave all.” This is not a culture of dependency. It is a part of a long tradition that gave this country its freedom and independence. They paid, some with their lives, some through wounds and disabilities, some through their emotional scars, some through the lost opportunities and delayed entry into civilian careers which had already begun for many of their peers who did not serve.
And not only did they pay. They will not say this, so I will say it for them. They are owed, if nothing else, at least a mention, some word of thanks and respect, when a presidential candidate who is their generational peer makes a speech accepting his party’s nomination to be commander-in-chief. And they are owed much more than that — a guarantee that we will never betray the commitment that we made to them and to their loved ones.
I heard him say those words. Then I read what some said and I really got sad. Then I realized that men and women like Webb served and their service gave way for all of our rights. Then I held my fingers, tongue and my distress. Webb ran 6 yrs ago when Dems were looking for someone to go against Allen. Dems were not expected to win. He ran for himself, but most of all, he ran for his son who was serving, a second tour in Iraq. Then sen Obama went and campaigned with him in VA. Webb even when he didn’t see eye to eye with pres Obama, he voted to move the bill. He didn’t join the ranks of LIEberman.
Let us continue to be kinder to our Vets. May God Bless them all.
What some said about what? Do you mean the comments on Politico? Those are always cesspools. When I link to Politico and I tend to not link to them, I never recommend reading the comments.
If you are talking about general comments about Webb, then all I can say is that I thank him for his military service but I still was inclinded to give him the SEOD meaning thanks, but I’m watching you.
I think you misread what I said, unless your statement was meant as snark? SOED means, that you accept what people read, said, etc, but “I’m still watching you”, “you” meaning the universal “you”, not YOU Nena…personally.

It does look like he is whistling, doesn’t it. FLOTUS once said in an interview he walks around the house singing all the time, now I see he whistle too. Cool Mr. President.
In a speech to the American Legion today, Mitt Romney leveled fresh criticism against President Obama, accusing his administration of cutting the benefits of veterans who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and going so far as to call plans to cut the Veterans Affairs Department budget a “crisis.”:
Romney charged that the defense budget cuts would affect services for veterans, including the men and women returning from conflict overseas who need psychological counseling. Romney invoked the rising number of suicides – “This is a crisis,” he declared – as he sharpened his attack on the Obama administration’s proposed spending cuts.
But Romney’s claim — that veterans’ care will be negatively impacted by sequestration — is not grounded in reality. Earlier this month, the White House announced that virtually all of the Veterans Affairs Department budget will be exempt from mandatory cuts if and when sequestration goes into effect in January 2013. The only exception, according to VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, would be possible cuts to administrative costs. That means health care, vocational, and education services will remain fully funded while cuts are made elsewhere within the Department of Defense, despite Mitt Romney’s claims to the contrary.
Of course, if Romney were actually concerned about the possibility of losing funding for the Veterans Affairs Department, he probably wouldn’t have embraced Paul Ryan or his budget, which could lead to reductions in veterans’ benefits.
In MN, in Minneapolis……2 dead due to shootings at a work place. MN is a conceal and Carry state. Once again, another senseless killings somewhere in USA with guns.
That’s excellent. We’ll have to devise a drinking (or ice cream eating) game to acknowledge his lies during the debates. Get drunk or gain a few pounds. Hmmm
I’m getting a rather nifty HP. My first non-Dell computer ever. It has a nice 750 gig HD, 8 gigs of RAM, bluetooth, and Beats Audio speakers. I’m stoked!
You are a *little* bit responsible for me buying mine. I saw a post where you commented that you have a new shiny machine, and I was in a buying mood, so it didn’t take much for me to take the plunge. I was at Office Depot last night and salivating over the shiny new laptops.
Way to go Iowa. I am wishing I lived in one of those states with early voting. Oh, wait a minute, I thought all white people are not to vote for Potus, and most of them look like they fall in the age group that would be for mitt as per the lame msm!
Sorry. Thought I notified most everyone. I was hacked. Phishing scam got me and sent fake DMs out in my name. Please don’t click on the link. Delete the message. If you clicked on the link, you’ll need to change your Twitter password.
‘ Tonight at 7:40pm Eastern, I’ve agreed to be on “Showdown 2012″ on Sirius XM Satellite Radio’s POTUS channel (#124) with Charles Ellison to talk about prediction models and my calculation that the Democrats might retake the House. Tune in! ‘
that’s right–he’s the princeton pollster, and he thinks the dems can take back the house!
I just want PBO to have the opportunity to fully work on creating JOBS. He needs Nancy and we need a cooperative Senate, for crying out loud. Can you imagine if we were rid of the RWNJs? What a nation!!
Then I read this paragraph
“Responding to criticism from the state Supreme Court on lack of access to free IDs, the Department of State on Tuesday unveiled a voting-only ID for registered voters. The new ID does not require proof of residency or a birth certificate but can’t be used for things like cashing a check or boarding a plane.”
I could guarantee that the ID will be used – or folks will try to use it – for reasons other than voting. To catch non existent voter fraud, it seems Pennsylvania may be providing photo-id that could well be used for other types of fraud in the future. If this is the only photo id someone has & they are asked to produce same – seems obvious (to me) they would show it.
what makes this new voter’s ID different from the ID that someone might already have…esp if you are not required to prove residency or citizenship to acquire this ID to vote!..i do not get this at all..
PF, the state is scrambling to show how liberal they are in the face of the PA Supreme Court decision. It’s a classic example of all the half-baked, ill-thought-through ideas they’ve had for implementing the voter ID law. We have to hope that there is an injunction on the whole thing and the state is sent back to the drawing board to devise a better plan for future elections.
NC GOP Joins FL in Firing RNC’s Romney-Tied Voter Registration Firm Accused of Fraud
UPDATE: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ‘CUTS TIES’ WITH FIRM AFTER DEAD PEOPLE FOUND REGISTERED AS NEW VOTERS
———————————- http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9592
[See BREAKING UPDATE at bottom of story. NBC News now reports the RNC has also cut ties with Strategic Allied Consulting.]
The North Carolina Republican Party has fired the shady voter registration firm owned by Mitt Romney’s paid political consultant and longtime GOP operative, Nathan Sproul. The firing came as Democrats in the state were on the brink of denouncing the Republicans’ tie to the operative’s firm.
The state GOP joins the Republican Party of Florida, which also fired Sproul’s company (who accounted for the party’s largest 2012 expenditure, some $1.3 million over the last two months) after more than 100 apparently fraudulent voter registration forms were turned over to the FL State Attorney in Palm Beach County on Monday for investigation. The BRAD BLOG first reported the emerging story in detail on Tuesday.
The firm, Strategic Allied Consulting, is the latest creation of Sproul, a longtime, high-level GOP operative whose companies — including Sproul & Associates and Lincoln Strategy Group — have been accused of destroying Democratic voter registration forms and changing information on them in election after election, in state after state, year after year. He was hired for similar operations by Bush/Cheney in ’04, by McCain/Palin in ’08 and by Mitt Romney’s campaign late last year… [more in the article]
Worked 15 hours yesterday. Have to say the navy can have some mouths on them! Lol!
Some were saying that PBO is a great president which was nice to hear considering it was difficult work.
I am watching The Princess Bride until goes off then I will watch LO……Rachel ran out of Robme stuff to talk about so now she’s gonna batch the president over a war he never started.
It was bothering me too. She was like this yesterday too. It is like she finds something to criticize PBO for and beats it to death, like gay marriage, but I never heard her apologize.
Found Rachel to be very irritating too! (had to mute her several times) She drives me nut with her undercover tactics to bash PBO. There are only two MSNBC hosts that have PBO’s back for sure: Rev Al and Martin Bashir Although, I like Lawrence too.
She irritates me 90% of the time. Which is why I only watch clips I hear were good on line. I tried to listen the other night for first time in a while, and turned her off until Nancy Smash came on. Then turned the TV off when Nancy (yeah we’re on first names basis) was done.
Maddow is smart but there’s something severely off with her.
It amazes me that the Republicans is blocking a bill to increase benefits for decease veterans spouses and their kids. And for the G.I. bill. Nothing should surprise me about what the Republicans do now adays, because they are a bunch of right wing crazy extreme S.O.B.
He either has his head in the sand or is stupid. Heck, PBO just did a rather long speech 2 days ago at the UN that started with the Ambassador’s death and ended with it. In between he covered just about everything under the sun in that part of the world, from Palestinians and Israelis to Iran nukes to Egypt to Russia.
Maybe he got thrown off by PBO talking about all the good people that rejected the violence.
How do these people convince anyone to give them a mic as if they know something, when all he had to do was pay a smidgeon of attention to the largest gathering of world leaders this year. It was almost an hour long speech on the topic. SMDH
@Squarepeg, I don’t remember her apologizing about all that hell she raised about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, either. She was pushing for an executive order or some limited thing, and PBO was busy working on a permanent solution. She covered the historic nature of it, but never an admission that she was so wrong.
And now, after PBO is bringing home all of his surge troops, he gets no credit for what he is doing, but she isRSI ging him for what she feels he isn’t doing fast enough. Sometimes she is like a petulant child.
I mean seriously. She JUST played a clip of PBO saying that we’re getting out of Afghanistan RESPONSIBLY. And then a few seconds later she goes “well he said we got a new tower going up but we’re not out of Afghanistan yet” HE JUST SAID WE’RE GETTING OUT Damn! Sorry Rachel gets on my nerves sometimes
Rachel is really pissing me off tonight. Bill Burton is on and she is giving him shit. She is either having her time of the month OR needs to get laid! WTF!

I thought it was put your lips together and blow? Or was that from another movie?
I believe you have it right, Nena. And cookemom? To the naughty mat with you!
Thanks LL. Do you remember which movie?
Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart in “To Have and Have Not.”
Thanks again.
Lauren Bacall to Bogart ?
Yes. I thought you went to bed? Up so soon, amk?
Up early to finish off a project report in bsl. Will be going to back to bed shortly.
Okay, then…..don’t over do it…..Sleep is Good for the young and the not so young. Be well.

This patriotic guy showed up to “Be The First” to vote in Iowa too
Is the donkey voting?! VOTER FRAUD!!!!!!!
In MN, in Minneapolis……2 dead due to shootings at a work place. MN is a conceal and Carry state. Once again, another senseless killings somewhere in USA with guns.
More important to let people have guns than to let them vote, doncha know. So sad…thinking of those families tonight….senseless
PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hoooooooooooooooooowling!!!! 😆
🙂 It had that effect on me, too
Lost for words, truly … have no idea how this video could ever have been made …
lmao big time. Perfect ad! I’m telling you, we’ve got some real creative genius’ working this election cycle.
They never use the mushroom clouds or sinister music but boy do they sock it to ’em with smiles and ridicule!

Hey, how about a Cheesy Puffs-eating game, LunarSea? 😎
How many puffs for every lie? 2, 3? You know we can’t eat one at a time. But then with the way he lies that shouldn’t be a worry, no?
Ok, I’m like a little kid at Christmas. I’m so excited to get my new laptop. God, I’m a geek.
LL! I got one too last week – great over-spending minds think alike! Enjoy your toy 🙂
What’d you get? Make and model please?
I think I will weigh in. I bought myself a new mac book Pro last month. I am like a kid in a candy shop. 🙂
Cool.
WAY TO GO, COS!!
I’m getting a rather nifty HP. My first non-Dell computer ever. It has a nice 750 gig HD, 8 gigs of RAM, bluetooth, and Beats Audio speakers. I’m stoked!
Sweet!
Yep, heading to Best Buy to pick it up in literally 1 minute.
My hubby gave me the latest IPAD, which I am still learning about. I love it so far. Discovered Pandora last night and the Sunday is amazing.
Oops, meant the sound is amazing!
There is nothing like a brand new laptop!!
You are a *little* bit responsible for me buying mine. I saw a post where you commented that you have a new shiny machine, and I was in a buying mood, so it didn’t take much for me to take the plunge. I was at Office Depot last night and salivating over the shiny new laptops.
Bought a new tv tonight. Last one I had for 7 years so you know its ancient. One of those with the huge hump on the back.
kidz/smh
Hey old man, I’m probably not much younger than you are. I have the rather dashing flecks of grey in my beard that the ladies love to prove it.
Well, my hair has gone half white. Ha.
What little hair I have is still black. Waiting for that first grey hair.
To each, his own. Wifey unit sill has jet black hair and she is only 2 years younger. Sigh.
I just bought a new TV . Going to pick it up on Saturday.
Oooohh that is exciting.
Way to go Iowa. I am wishing I lived in one of those states with early voting. Oh, wait a minute, I thought all white people are not to vote for Potus, and most of them look like they fall in the age group that would be for mitt as per the lame msm!
Yes, those were all actors who came in a bus to the polling site. Oh, wait a minute, that would be Romney’s crowd!!
lol, yes that would be the Robme crowd
Hehehe.

Speaking of fraud – I was catching up and read this link from Meta
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/171451531.html
Long lines, long waits to get voter IDs
Then I read this paragraph

what makes this new voter’s ID different from the ID that someone might already have…esp if you are not required to prove residency or citizenship to acquire this ID to vote!..i do not get this at all..
PF, the state is scrambling to show how liberal they are in the face of the PA Supreme Court decision. It’s a classic example of all the half-baked, ill-thought-through ideas they’ve had for implementing the voter ID law. We have to hope that there is an injunction on the whole thing and the state is sent back to the drawing board to devise a better plan for future elections.
One more…
Off to bed again. Say gunnite folks.
Oh, I love that “#BeTheFirst” !
Yes!
Oh, nice! Very, very nice.
NC GOP Joins FL in Firing RNC’s Romney-Tied Voter Registration Firm Accused of Fraud
UPDATE: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE ‘CUTS TIES’ WITH FIRM AFTER DEAD PEOPLE FOUND REGISTERED AS NEW VOTERS
———————————-

[See BREAKING UPDATE at bottom of story. NBC News now reports the RNC has also cut ties with Strategic Allied Consulting.]
The North Carolina Republican Party has fired the shady voter registration firm owned by Mitt Romney’s paid political consultant and longtime GOP operative, Nathan Sproul. The firing came as Democrats in the state were on the brink of denouncing the Republicans’ tie to the operative’s firm.
The state GOP joins the Republican Party of Florida, which also fired Sproul’s company (who accounted for the party’s largest 2012 expenditure, some $1.3 million over the last two months) after more than 100 apparently fraudulent voter registration forms were turned over to the FL State Attorney in Palm Beach County on Monday for investigation. The BRAD BLOG first reported the emerging story in detail on Tuesday.
The firm, Strategic Allied Consulting, is the latest creation of Sproul, a longtime, high-level GOP operative whose companies — including Sproul & Associates and Lincoln Strategy Group — have been accused of destroying Democratic voter registration forms and changing information on them in election after election, in state after state, year after year. He was hired for similar operations by Bush/Cheney in ’04, by McCain/Palin in ’08 and by Mitt Romney’s campaign late last year… [more in the article]
I thought I read that Romney KNEW about this, and hired him anyway
Season premiere of Scandal is on tonight at 10PM ET!!
WOOOOTTT!!
Yes, 9:00 my time, going to be good. Scandal!
Worked 15 hours yesterday. Have to say the navy can have some mouths on them! Lol!
Some were saying that PBO is a great president which was nice to hear considering it was difficult work.
that is nice to hear Jeff. Thanks for sharing.
Okay so Rachel is on the War soapbox tonight. Am I wrong to be irritated?
No. I had to turn her off.
At least she’s giving it to the republicans for blocking the laws that help veterans. She’s shaming them big time.
I must admit I got tired of Rachel and her war soapbox too.
I am watching The Princess Bride until goes off then I will watch LO……Rachel ran out of Robme stuff to talk about so now she’s gonna batch the president over a war he never started.
It was bothering me too. She was like this yesterday too. It is like she finds something to criticize PBO for and beats it to death, like gay marriage, but I never heard her apologize.
Good evening,
Found Rachel to be very irritating too! (had to mute her several times) She drives me nut with her undercover tactics to bash PBO. There are only two MSNBC hosts that have PBO’s back for sure: Rev Al and Martin Bashir Although, I like Lawrence too.
I agree totally although I have been enjoying Chris Matthews lately even if he is totally erratic at times.
She irritates me 90% of the time. Which is why I only watch clips I hear were good on line. I tried to listen the other night for first time in a while, and turned her off until Nancy Smash came on. Then turned the TV off when Nancy (yeah we’re on first names basis) was done.
Maddow is smart but there’s something severely off with her.
Some Jerk from buzzfeed is on Rachel talking about neither Obama or romney wants to talk about violence in the middle east. FOH
It amazes me that the Republicans is blocking a bill to increase benefits for decease veterans spouses and their kids. And for the G.I. bill. Nothing should surprise me about what the Republicans do now adays, because they are a bunch of right wing crazy extreme S.O.B.
He either has his head in the sand or is stupid. Heck, PBO just did a rather long speech 2 days ago at the UN that started with the Ambassador’s death and ended with it. In between he covered just about everything under the sun in that part of the world, from Palestinians and Israelis to Iran nukes to Egypt to Russia.
Maybe he got thrown off by PBO talking about all the good people that rejected the violence.
How do these people convince anyone to give them a mic as if they know something, when all he had to do was pay a smidgeon of attention to the largest gathering of world leaders this year. It was almost an hour long speech on the topic. SMDH
THIS!THIS!THIS!
The $10k question
@Squarepeg, I don’t remember her apologizing about all that hell she raised about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, either. She was pushing for an executive order or some limited thing, and PBO was busy working on a permanent solution. She covered the historic nature of it, but never an admission that she was so wrong.
And now, after PBO is bringing home all of his surge troops, he gets no credit for what he is doing, but she isRSI ging him for what she feels he isn’t doing fast enough. Sometimes she is like a petulant child.
I mean seriously. She JUST played a clip of PBO saying that we’re getting out of Afghanistan RESPONSIBLY. And then a few seconds later she goes “well he said we got a new tower going up but we’re not out of Afghanistan yet” HE JUST SAID WE’RE GETTING OUT Damn! Sorry Rachel gets on my nerves sometimes
Go Iowa! My home state, if I was there I would be voting early for PBO, guess will just have to wait for my mail in ballot here in WA.
She is dinging him!!
New post everyone:

Rachel is really pissing me off tonight. Bill Burton is on and she is giving him shit. She is either having her time of the month OR needs to get laid! WTF!
