Bang a frying pan on your head!

TPM:

Bennett said he was following the lead of the state’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a fellow Republican who ordered an investigation into the president’s birth certificate last year and concluded the document released by the White House is a forgery. Bennett said he is now trying to get verification from state officials in Hawaii that the certificate is authentic.

CHRIST, I give up trying to figure these people out. They will drive you to drunk text Orly and we have better things to do.

Stop hitting yourself in the head.

Hillary Rosen was close when she said Ann Romney “never worked a day in her life,” but Hillary left out the good part. In addition to her nanny amnesia, Ann Romney is an above it all Mormon liar.

Sept 2012, Annie appeared on one of the morning news shows wearing a big fucking bird t-shirt that cost $990. She said she was supporting business by buying it. She said the designer, Reed Krakoff (the President of Coach, Inc.) employs over 15,000 people in the US. They run nearly a million square feet of retail store space, and manufacture all their products in the US. That contributes to a better and stronger US.

Coach Inc. has distribution, product development, and quality control operations in the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and South Korea.

Manufacture all their products in the US … AND …  Italy France, Hong Kong, etc., Ms Wannabe first lady lied on TV wearing a $990 big fucking ugly bird t-shirt.
She lied. She knew she was lying and it didn’t bother her Mormon conscience. Not one bit and her church doesn’t care. Romney lovers won’t care (they like that shit) Mitt doesn’t care cause he’s a moron and they don’t care, so why not just keep lying? All the nouveau riche hard working Republican moms do it

“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.” – Momma Grizzly lie.

“The vaccine to prevent HPV can cause mental retardation.” – Batshit bullshit from Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann

“There are no Americans who don’t have health care. Everybody in this country has access to health care.” – Republican Rep Virginia Foxx lied.
There are no Americans who don’t have health care! I guess the 40 million without health care don’t count in republican fabrication land! 

Republican Christine O’Donnell tried to cover her idiotic witch ass by claiming  that her infamous witch ad was leaked by a staffer of her admin, Fred Davis, without her permission. Unfortunately, O’Donnell was cc’d on an e-mail in which O’Donnell’s campaign manager approved the ad.

Republican Rep. Jean Schmidt she earned a Bachelor’s degree in “social studies-secondary education” that she never did. She was then cited unanimously for Reckless Disregard of the Truth by Ohio election Commission.

“Knowing that my father died fighting the Nazi regime in Germany, that I lost him when I was 11 because of that … and then to have them call me Hitler’s daughter. It hurts. It’s ugliness beyond anything I’ve ever experienced.” – Gov Jan Brewer.
WTF Jan? Are you kidding? .. That whole thing is a BIG FAT UGLY (like you) LIE.  Her dad worked as a civilian supervisor for a naval munitions depot in Hawthorne, Nevada. He died of lung disease in 1955 in California.

Ann Romney is in good company and has chosen the company of liars instead of truth but what can one expect when …
“Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant.” – Julia Roberts. 

What the front door is happening to Joe Biden? He’s being such a gay rights, IN YOUR FACE, biotch .. in a good way. Jazzy Joe is now saying stuff Nobama, no one else, could get away with. All full of gay love, and other happy marriage thoughts, our Veep is being a bit too rational militant and conservative as well as LAMESTREAM media is not liking it. Well, then fuck them

Joe is spitting hisself, fist pumping and screaming at rich people … for YOU!

One thing I do resent. I resent when they talk about families like mine that I grew up in. I resent the fact that they think we’re talking about – we’re envy. That it’s job envy, it’s wealth envy, that we don’t dream.

“You’re joking,” Irma Schimel said when she learned of her son’s plans.

The couple separated about a year ago after 32 years of marriage and two kids — but are not legally divorced.

Irma Schimel said she still considers Michelle her daughter-in-law and even received a Mother’s Day card from her this year.

“I love her very much,” Irma Schimel said. “I can’t believe he’d do a thing like this. I’m going to talk to him.”

Michelle Schimel, 54, is in her third term, having first been elected in 2007 to replace Thomas DiNapoli, who resigned to become state controller.

“He’ll never win anything against Michelle,” Irma Schimel predicted. “They (the voters) love her.”

A Democratic Party source accused Mark Schimel and the Nassau GOP of  …

“lowering themselves to any level . . . and allowing people’s personal issues to become part of political mudslinging.”

Allow me to begin this post by letting you know that i have a best friend who is currently a football coach and scout at a notable division 1 school, and a brother who is an analyst at a prominent and well known bank. I enjoy discussing wall street, banks, investments, and financial mechanisms with my brother, and i enjoy discussing football in all facets including: up and coming players, current famous players, offensive and defensive schemes etc. with my friend. I am always alert and willing to learn new information, and accepting of the things that they may correct me or enlighten me on. After all, they are my friends, and these are their chosen courses of study and profession. I would never think that these people would be intentionally throwing me off for their own personal gain.

Now, my chosen course of study and my chosen path toward profession happens to be Fiscal policy, Economic policy, labor policy, foreign policy, historical fact study, past public policy study, etc. basically, all things political, but forget the divisive term “politics”, its really more Public Administration. This is what it is. I am not a “fan” or a “side spectator” like most others. No, i spent YEARS studying, writing, researching, fact finding, and verifying to be able to understand and claim the set of “facts” that i have have at my disposal regarding these issues, and i was one of the most exceptional in a group of already highly intelligent and educated people (in these specific matters) . I plan to actually make an impact in the realm of Public Administration, for the benefit of everyone, not to the exclusion of those who hold opposing “beliefs” but “beliefs” and actual tangible facts are two different things after all.

Political “commentators” on the internet especially, remind me a lot of sports fans. Nothing more. Casual people who peer in every now and then, and usually blindly “root” for one side or the other, as if it was one football team or the other. They give little consideration to the actual real-world repercussions of their “ideas”, and pay no mind to how those same ideas have worked (or not worked) in the past. Further, these “arm-chair General Managers” (as we call them in the sports world) believe that they know more than the average scholar, more than the people running the world, more than people of the most elite intelligence, education, success, and experience. This is laughable (and i should laugh at it more), but it also depresses me.

All of the sudden, people’s core “beliefs” even though these “beliefs” are not even really their own ideas based on research and experience 90% of the time, but are just regurgitated mind-states instilled in them blindly by parents, radio hosts, folk tales etc. (my parents hold very different beliefs than me, i did not come to my current conclusions until heavy research and changing perspectives challenged me to open my mind, learn, and evolve), all of the sudden these peoples hollow “beliefs” lead them to completely distrust someone who they should confide in, and even seek out for information on these things, as i seek out the opinions and factual offerings of my brother and friend.

I go out into the “general public” in order to better educate people on public policy, historical fact, and the repercussions of proposed legislation, or passed legislation etc. I do this because i care deeply for my fellow citizens. These are people who have embarked on other life paths and provide vital services, goods, and advice to me. After all we live in a society, and everyones place in it is important and should be respected. I think that if i could better educate these people on the facts, then these people could evolve mentally and become more pragmatic, fair minded, and educated on public policy so that these people could vote for the right people, and we could maybe get this republic working again. I make no effort to hide that my political affiliation resides to the left on 75% of issues, HOWEVER, i never equivocate or lie to anyone jus to suit my own political agenda, and every bit of information that i disclose to my peers could be readily accessed by any of them at any time, in books, credible Internet sites etc. Case and point i actually am a Chris Christie supporter, and this is not for political or partisan reasons obviously, since Christie is commended by most on the right and despised by virtually all on the left. Of course my “right-winged” and “left wing conspiracy” friends completely ignore this fact when judging my overall “agenda” so to speak. They would rather dismiss me and the factual information that i provide, because it helps them cling on to their unjustifiable and ignorant truths without having to own up to the fact that they and their beliefs are fallible, ever-changing, and sometimes blatant fallacies. Why would a normal caring friend, decide to just lie to them to push some radical agenda? it is quite laughable the more you think about it really. They’d rather listen to strangers on TV than a person of the same socio-economic, geographic, and personality make-up of themselves. It really is quite an odd state of affairs.

This all boils down to one of my favorite phrases – “You are entitled to your own OPINIONS, but NEVER your own FACTS” it is very simple. I know more than many other people when it comes to history, politics, political theory, economic policy, economic history, etc etc etc. And no, no university “brain washed” me, that is a cop-out and a poor excuse. I suppose business people are not actually educated about how to be successful business people than either – they are just “brainwashed by business” it is a quite silly position to take really. Just another convenient way to duck out of a confrontation with facts, and cling to your silly and hollow comfort beliefs. I do this every day, all day, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Other people peer in and self-proclaim themselves as “experts” but really, they are like a washed up middle aged man who never played a sport in high school, trying to get on the football field at the pro-bowl. Watch, observe, learn, listen. I know more than you in this particular area. Learn and apply the knowledge to your own beliefs, alter them, fit the facts to them, make better decisions as a voter, etc. use my facts and knowledge to your benefit.

I know more than you, i know more than you and that’s OK.

Soon you’ll be hanging from a steeple yelling “sanctuary.”

“1. Facing a “disorderly conduct” arrest
This story first surfaced in Romney’s doomed 1994 bid to unseat Sen. Ted Kennedy, Kaczynski says: In 1981, Romney was putting the family boat into Lake Cochituate, an hour outside of Boston, when a park officer told him he couldn’t because the license looked painted over. If he launched, he’d face a $50 fine. “I was willing to pay the fine,” Romney told The Boston Globe. But the officer returned as Romney put the boat in and, visibly angry at being ignored, handcuffed Mitt, who was “dripping wet in a bathing suit,” and booked him for disorderly conduct. Romney contested the arrest in court, threatened to sue, and got the arrest dismissed and sealed. “He did not have the right to arrest me because I was not a disorderly person,” Romney told The Globe. Right, I guess “laws are [just] for little people and suckers, aren’t they?” says Kaili Joy Gray at Daily Kos.

2. Tangling with a traffic cop at the Olympics
During the 2002 Winter Olympics, says Alec MacGillis at The New Republic, Romney, who was the Games’ chief organizer, pushed local sheriff’s deputies out of the way to personally manage a traffic snarl outside the downhill ski area. He also lit into an 18-year-old security volunteer, Shaun Knopp, who told reporters that Romney rudely asked “who the fuck” he was and “what the fuck” an amateur like him was doing at the Olympics. Romney denied dropping f-bombs, saying the worst he broke out was “H-E-double hockey sticks.” I find the idea of Romney directing traffic and dropping f-bombs “immensely humanizing,” says Tommy Christopher at Mediaite. “I like that guy” — why isn’t he running?

3. Putting Rick Perry in a “Vulcan neck pinch”
In a GOP debate last October, Romney had an “odd and unexpected moment” with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, says The New Republic‘s MacGillis. Perry interrupted Mitt, and Romney appealed to the moderator. But “when no help arrived, he turned on Perry, his voice rising to a shout and his eyes flashing with anger.” He even condescendingly put his hand on Perry’s shoulder, shocking observers used to Mitt’s “robotic self-control.” Romney’s “attempted Vulcan neck pinch on Rick Perry” was actually “a very strong bit of power politics,” says Mediaite‘s Christopher, except for the part where “he tried to complain to the ref.”

4. Sparring with party rockers LMFAO
In February 2010, Romney was on a flight from Vancouver to Los Angeles when he had his “most unusual altercation,” says MacGillis. He and wife Ann were seated behind Sky Blu (Skyler Gordy) of the party-rock duo LMFAO. Gordy leaned back before takeoff, Romney told him to return his seat to an upright position, and Gordy wound up being escorted off the plane. As Romney tells it, after he politely asked Gordy to sit up, then “tapped him on the shoulder,” Gordy “gave me a good swat and he broke my hair.” In Gordy’s version, told on YouTube, Romney yelled, “Sir, sir put your seat up!” then reached up and “put a condor grip on me. … It was pretty hostile.”

5. Yelling at a radio host over his gay marriage record
In March 2007, when he was starting his first bid for the GOP nomination, Romney met with about a dozen conservatives in Chicago. Things were cordial until talk-radio host Sandy Rios asked him about printing gender-neutral marriage certificates when he was governor of Massachusetts, Rios told MassResistance. “At that point Romney lost his temper” and accused me of lying, Rios said. “He asked if I was an attorney and I said, ‘No, sir, I am not.’ ‘I am a graduate of Harvard Law School,’ he stated.” It wasn’t the only time Romney got snippy with a radio host in 2007. Watch Romney get mad on video, via Politico:”

Hat tip to – The Week

“America is facing some of the most significant economic challenges since the Great Depression.”

Cole’s solution to a scary situation is a much needed tax reform which, as all should know, is one piece of the pie. But then Tom goes wild and says,

“My personal preference is for the Flat Tax.”

That’s very interesting to say the least. Why does Cole want a flat tax? Beats all, yet that’s the question Americans should ask Tom, and not just Oklahoma voters in the 4th Congressional district. From his website we gather what Cole says about taxes, but what if we check out what a few economists have to say, just for second opinion’s sake?

What about Paul Krugman? Krugman is Professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, and Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics. In 2008, Krugman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his contributions to New Trade Theory and New Economic Geography. Krugman has stated that,

“A flat tax almost by definition is going to be a big tax increase for the poor and middle class.”

So if Krugman is correct, then maybe we should think twice about what Cole says. What if Krugman is right? Perhaps the flat tax is not a great idea for the most of us. The Flat Tax might not be Tom’s answer for America–the America that ”is facing some of the most significant economic challenges since the Great Depression.”

Another economist we might call on is Robert Reich who is currently Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. He was formerly a professor at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and professor of social and economic policy at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management of Brandeis University. Robert Reich says about the same thing as Krugman but is a bit more blunt,

“The flat tax is a fraud. It raises taxes on the poor and lowers them on the rich.”

So why would Cole want something like that? Is he just plain mean?

Proponents of the flat tax claim that a flat tax would make everybody’s life as well as filling out tax forms easy. What they fail to convey is that the horrible filling out and reporting everything will not go away. Maybe the only substantial thing missing would be that oh so evil capital gains tax. However, the last I checked I have no capital gains tax to lose. With two leading economists saying that I stand to be shackled to the lions share of taxation under the flat tax, I smell something. Do you smell anything? I don’t know about anybody else but I smell rats. I think traps are being set and not for the real rats.

Tom Cole wants the Flat Tax. Here’s what economist Michael Hudson says,

“The notorious Flat Tax which would fall only on wage income (paid by employees and employers alike) and on consumer goods (the value-added tax, VAT), while exempting returns that accrue to the wealthy in the form of interest and dividend income, rent and capital gains.”

Is Cole wanting to be exempt from paying tax?

Tom Cole wants the Flat Tax. He says so on his website plain as day and without embarrassment. On the first reading of it, I imagined a rouge staffer slipping the flat tax bit in as a joke when Cole wasn’t looking. But the thing has been up there for several months now and nobody’s laughing, Exactly why that is is probably clear for the few. Tom Cole wants the Flat Tax. Yet, for anyone who has seriously looked at the flat tax thing, it is what Reich says, “The Flat Tax is a Fraud.” I will have to e-mail Reich to see if the same may be said of Mr. Tom Cole.

Schemes of the Rich and Greedy by Michael Hudson

“There is a way the nomination can be given to Ron Paul,” he read aloud. “There is a way to fix the situation we currently face with Obama versus Romney. Romney needs to die.”

Kokesh read an anonymous email saying it came from a 19-year-old in Mississippi.

Kokesh continues says of the email, “I have never endorsed such a plan. I have never suggested such a plan. But I cannot deny that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind as well as so many other libertarians and Ron Paul supporters of late.”

Adam’s then puts in his own 2 cents and goes on to daydream having the Secret Service deposit themselves at his door..

 ”Obviously this raises some interesting moral issues” and “it sure is tempting isn’t it, to think that you could take out one life and prevent the deaths of so many others.”

“Whatever you do, please please please don’t forward this video to the Secret Service.” 

Kokesh ran for Congress in New Mexico in 2010 and received Ron Paul’s endorsement however they have since reversed course.

Jesse Benton, then the head of Paul’s Liberty PAC and now Paul’s campaign manager, said Kokesh was a “terrific candidate” at the time.

“Mr. Kokesh is a deeply troubled individual with whom we cut off contact a long time ago,” said Benton when told of Kokesh’s video. “We have a very cordial and respectful relationship with Gov. Romney and his campaign and reject anyone who would think or talk this way. I hope the Secret Service investigates and takes all appropriate action they find necessary.”

After the ass whooping Romney took in the press over his utterly stupid comments on same sex marriage, he said this … While he opposes same-sex marriage, he is “fine” with gay couples adopting children.
Huh?? Oh no he didn’t!! Oh yes he did so therefore it is now confirmed Mitt Romney has Palin-esk Disease. That’s it. Mitt Romney has proven he is afflicted with “dumber than a bag of assholes”  disease.

OK, so let’s get this straight (no pun intended,) Romney is now condoning same-sex families with children as long as the parents do not marry! Call me crazy, but that comment has Palin disease written all over it.

“I believe that my record as a person who has supported civil rights is strong and powerful. At the same time, I believe that marriage has been defined the same way for literally thousands of years by virtually every civilization in history, and that marriage is literally, by its definition, a relationship between a man and a woman.
And if two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a loving relationship, or even to adopt a child — in my state individuals of the same sex were able to adopt children. In my view, that’s something that people have a right to do. But to call that marriage is something that in my view is a departure from the real meaning of that word.”

Hopefully Mitt’s dumb ass is temporary, or it’s just Mitt going a little rogue. Either way, he’s fucking up big time.

One lucky schmuck who coughed up $23.00 to the Obama campaign ,was picked (awarded/won) in a lottery, a seat at George’s house. 1 ordinary American was picked from a pool of thousands (@ $23.00 a pop) to sit at the right hand of the Hollywood gods. All tolled, the shindig will rake in around 15 million. Chump change in what Obama will need to lead us on women rights, equal rights and civil rights.

On the flip side, planet Kolob’s favorite son, Mitt Romney will host his own solid gold evening on Star Island. The 1% will pony up $50,000 a piece to bask in Mitt’s glow, with the campaign accountants huffing and puffing on campaign contributions being over the top. They will denounce class warfare while munching beluga and kiss Mitts ass telling him how the media is too liberal. Translation = when you loose, we all have an out for supporting you. The big topic will be …? Romney’s failures? How the Neo Nazi Rush cons can’t stand him? His lapse of memory on his own hate for gays?

Romney’s night of bling will be a perfect example of how clueless Mitt the puppet, is a hypocrite. He denounced the fact that insurance plans would now be required to cover Plan B, a form of emergency contraception that he falsely referred to on numerous occasions as “abortive pills.”

However, Dr. Phil Frost, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Teva Pharmaceuticals, a major manufacturer of contraceptives of the “abortive pill,” will be in attendance.

The only ordinary Americans in attendance will be the wait staff.

Let’s see if I had $50g’s … Clooney’s or Star Island? Equal Rights or Gay hate?
