O’Donnell slams Des Moines Register endorsement of Mitt as ‘magical thinking’

.
Reblogged from MSNBC:

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell accused The Des Moines Register of “adopting Mitt Romney’s magical thinking” by endorsing the Republican candidate for president.

In the Rewrite segment on Tuesday’s edition of The Last Word, he called their decision one of the “most embarrassing endorsements in the history of that newspaper.”
His bone to pick with the Iowa paper’s editorial board revolved around how they argued the case for Romney, not their specific choice of candidate.

O'Donnell rips the Register to pieces using what the rethugs fear and don't understand the most so they (rethugs) don't use them...facts and truth.



Mr. President! Mr. President! You did it all wrong!

This is no way to monitor a hurricane as President.

You need to take the ‘All Hat And No Cattle’ Bush the Lesser approach.

It was Aug. 29, McCain’s 69th birthday, and on the tarmac, Bush presented his old political rival with a cake. The two posed, holding the cake up for cameras, and within seconds, went their separate ways. The cake, melting in the 110-degree Arizona heat, was left behind, uneaten.

Here a fellow named George W. Bush is having a delightful time playing a guitar given to him by country singer Mark Wills after a visit to Naval Base Coronado in sunny southern California. It’s fun to be president.
So you see Mr. President? That is how you monitor a hurricane. I know presidentializeing is hard work. You need to relax no matter what is happening.
So take a few tips from Bush The Lesser.
Relax pretend to play some guitar, and have some cake. Even if you don’t eat it.

The Details Of Romney’s Tax Plan

.
My arthritis in my hands has been so bad for several days it’s been hard to press the stupid keys.
But I had to share this.
It will make the whole plan clear.

I can’t even take the most effective drugs because of reactions to them.
I think the worst thing that happens, is when my leg that has venous stasis, just starts oozing blood through the skin.
OTC works just as well as most scripts that I can take.
Well, enjoy the tax plan.

Pretty good debate tonight.
IMHO President Obama won. I don’t think Mittens was happy when he was called out on things he said that weren’t true.

That is not a happy camper.

Thanks for visiting.

Stupid Is, As Stupid Does

.
This is from a blog that I check out. I didn't add or change anything.
http://bearssoapbox.over-blog.com/article-stupid-is-as-stupid-does-111077340.html
 ------------------------------------------
This was sent to me in an email.
I got it after seeing the program FRONTLINE on PBS about Romney and President Obama.
I know that PBS wants to seem to be unbiased but this program, in my opinion, fell far short.
The following article mirrors many of my thoughts about the program.

We Have Got To Be The Dumbest Fucking People On Earth (PBS)

We've got to be. There's no other explanation.

For one, there's the idea that somehow we allow people to make the lunatic claim that the media is in the tank for the Dems or the left. Oh really? Romney tells Lehrer that he's going to fire his wobbly ass and we get the bullshit I'm about to detail below.

For two, there's this insane overreaction we have to the accusation of bias that makes us produce works of audacity (again, more below), that can only be described as... insane.

For three, I had a phone call earlier tonight with someone who seems to me to capture the essence of a political operative, in that she couldn't possibly understand her way out of a cardboard box, but that is another story for another time, and then, the other side has the same exact drone army filling out their own stooge-staffel.

Back to this PBS documentary.

I'm watching this shit, I'm 42 minutes in, and so far I've learned that Obama is a white black man, that during his New York years "he did the least" (that's right, the same New York years that would help him gain admission to Harvard fucking Law School) and that Romney's time in France was some sort of heroic, perilous journey.

And that France was awful tough.

Let me first point out that I was a kid in New York City when Barack Obama lived in Harlem. I saw it from a car window and from behind the bus windows, as we traveled out every day to Randall's Island. I have been around the world. The entire thing. Circumnavigated it. Been to some shitholes. Let me tell you, Harlem of that era is the scariest fucking place I have ever seen.

But back to Mitt Romney. This fucking asshole was dodging the draft, first in France, and then with a student deferment, and the PBS documentary not only never explicitly mentions that this asshole was avoiding the motherfucking Vietnam War by spending time nagging people in France, but presents it as a G**-damn hero's journey???

Are you fucking kidding me?

I will say it right now. I would rather spend two years a million times over in France, even getting doors shut on me for part of every day than spend a day in the jungles of Vietnam. It's not close. It's not close to close. It's described as "this difficult work." Not getting shot at and sweating and getting stung to death, but riding a fucking bicycle in France.

Riding a fucking bicycle in France!!!

And what was his great accomplishment? He converted TEN people. I suppose if you really think you're saving someone's soul, that's quite something, but presumably he was converting them from Christianity to Christianity and fuck this bullshit I can't be bothered with bending over backwards to shove something up my own ass in the service of being fair anymore.

DRAFT DODGER!!!! PROTESTED FOR THE WAR! HID IN FRANCE - FUCKING FRANCE - FOR TWO YEARS! AND THEN TOOK A STUDENT DEFERMENT! AND SAYS "SOMETIMES (HE) WISHED HE WAS IN THE WAR!" SO DON'T TAKE A STUDENT DEFERMENT YOU CHUMP-ASS FUCKING CHICKENHAWK!

AND HE WANTS TO FIRE BIG BIRD! DON'T YOU GET IT?

HOLY SHIT, PBS, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

I can't take it anymore. I just can't take it.

The next election, I'm doing whatever the fuck I want, and anyone who tells me no, or can't understand shit, or doesn't understand the "why" behind shit like, I don't know, reality, is getting a punch in the fucking jaw.

That's right. They're getting dropped.

I just can't take this.

And btw, his friend and fellow missionary admits what they don't run in the PBS documentary:

  • Most of the missionaries, though, were also relieved that their service meant a draft deferment. “I am sorry, but no one was excited to go and get killed in Vietnam,” Mr. Hansen said, acknowledging, “In hindsight, it is easy to be for the war when you don’t have to worry about going to Vietnam.”

  • Mr. Romney, though, said that he sometimes had wished he were in Vietnam instead of France. “There were surely times on my mission when I was having a particularly difficult time accomplishing very little when I would have longed for the chance to be serving in the military,” he said in an interview, “but that was not to be.”

  • While many Mormons — and eventually, some of his fellow missionaries — enlisted, Mr. Romney got a student deferment after returning from France.

Read paragraphs two and three together. Now do it again. Breathe in the insanity.

And that chickenshit bullshit is not getting this man hung?

We have got to be the dumbest fucking people on Earth. There is no other explanation.

My only consolation is the hope that nobody watches PBS.
~~~~~~~~~~

I wasn't happy with the way that PBS covered the RNC or the DNCs'. While they were the more fair of any American coverage, it seemed that the slant was toward the right. I say that because the democrats didn't seem to get the chance that the republicans did when it came time to analyze the conventions at the end of each day or the end of the convention.

I don't know if it's money or what but I think that the country is being set up for President Obama to lose. With the electronic voting machines controlled by republican backed interests and big money from Super PACs buying the media...
WE COULD BE ROYALLY SCREWED!!!!

If that happens God help the poor, sick, women, children and elderly.

That asshole is a sociopatic liar, coward and a bully. He shouldn't be within 1000 miles of the nuclear codes.

A Joke I saw on the Internet today…

.
Snow White, Superman and Pinocchio are walking along.

They see a sign: “Contest for World’s Most Beautiful Woman.” Snow White goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing a crown.

They walk along and see another sign: “Contest for World’s Strongest Man.” Superman goes in, later comes out smiling, wearing the belt.

They walk along and see a sign: “Contest for World’s Greatest Liar.” Pinocchio goes in, later comes out with his head down crying.

“Who the hell is Mitt Romney?” Pinocchio sobs.

But I thought there was something missing.

Romney campaign worker says parents on welfare should be executed.

.
From this article;
http://www.progressive.org/meet-romney-extremist-in-virginia

"I'll tell you what really need to do with these illegitimate families on welfare—give all the kids up for adoption and execute the parents."

"Yes, I mean it. Get rid of all of them, give the kids up for adoption, execute the parents, and you get rid of the problem.” (When I call him back to revisit the issue, he elaborates: “put the children up for adoption and execute the parents, and word would get out soon” that poor people shouldn’t have kids.)

Yup. That will solve the problems of the country.
While we are at it , lets give everyone IQ tests, and everyone that doesn't test out at say...100, they get executed too.
Or if they are on social security/medicare/medicaid and don't have a part time job(20+hrs./wk) until the age of 75, they're put down too. If you're to disabled to work and your family can't help you and you have no insurance, you're history.

I wonder how many "poor people" that rat bastard SOB has killed or had a hand in killing under the guise of white sheets and a pointy white hat?
