John Kerry Costs U.S. Defense Industry $400 Billion

STORY HERE

Gotta love The Onion!

“Responding to initial reports that Syria may relinquish its stockpile of chemical weapons following Secretary of State John Kerry’s assertion that doing so would decrease the likelihood of American military strikes, representatives for the domestic defense industry complained to reporters Tuesday that the top-ranking diplomat may have cost them $400 billion in revenue. “We were ready to produce and sell tomahawk missiles, advanced combat systems, and more unmanned predator drones, but instead our Secretary of State had to run his big fat mouth about options for averting war, and now we’re out hundreds of billions of dollars,” said a visibly upset Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn A. Hewson, who along with her fellow executives at Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and General Dynamics complained that because the initial invasion would have more than likely led to a protracted, wide-ranging international conflict, Kerry might have even cost them trillions.”

I wouldn’t put it past the companies to bitch about it. They’re probably doing it anyway behind closed doors.

The Boehnering Of America

.
Or more aptly, 'The Boehnering(Boning?) Of America ', under his leadership as The Speaker of the House.
 *

*

*
A prime example of the GOP's disconnect with reality.

*

*

*

*

*

*

*
By now isn't it up to 40 times?

*
The hell of it is, President Obama will probably negotiate more of the middle class, poor, disabled and elderly benefits away under the guise of "bipartisanship".

*

*

*
 I can only hope that President Obama and more democrats find a spine somewhere.

Then when they do, now what to do with it.

Peace.

Atta Boy Darrell!!! Keep Those IRS Investigations Going!

.
The Grand Obstuctionist Party in action.

The jackholes aren't going to stop trying to get that 'uppity boy' out of "THEIR WHITE HOUSE".

And this is the guy that is going after him? With a rap sheet like this he couldn't get a job at McDonalds.


 STORY HERE

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday became the latest Republican to reject Darrell Issa's comments that White House press secretary Jay Carney is a "paid liar" in relation to the IRS controversy. But Graham went further than his Republican colleagues, saying there's no evidence that the White House ordered the tax agency to target conservative groups.

During an interview with "Kilmeade and Friends" on Fox News Radio, Graham said Issa, a California Republican, was a key player in investigating the matter as the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. But, he conceded, "you can go too far" with personal allegations.

On Sunday, Issa accused the White House of ordering the IRS to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status in 2012, even though a 48-page report by the IRS Inspector General and testimony from multiple IRS officials cleared the White House of any involvement. Issa has nonetheless insisted IRS agents were being "ordered from Washington." He specifically directed his criticism at Carney, who has maintained the administration played no role in the targeting and only learned of the matter once an investigation was complete.

One can only hope that they keep investigating, even in the face of evidence that there is or was nothing to warrant such an investigation.

To bad the republicans have been taken over by the teabaggers.

What a bunch of putzes.

Over 400,000 votes in Az have NOT yet been counted! Maybe 600000+

.
The story broke this morning and the estimate was 400,000. It’s now being predicted that it’s up to 600,000+
http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/free/20121107provisional-ballot-woes-swamp-county.html

Petra Falcon, executive director of Promise Arizona, said she was told that 200,000 provisional ballots were cast, as well as 200,000 early ballots. She said counting of those votes will not even begin until this morning and she feared the Maricopa County sheriff’s race would be called before then. And it was, with Sheriff Joe Arpaio beating Democrat Paul Penzone to win his sixth term in office.
“Four hundred thousand ballots — that’s a lot,” Falcon said. “Even if it’s an Arpaio win, those votes should be counted.”
Roopali Desai, Promise Arizona’s attorney, said the number of provisional ballots is “unprecedented” in Arizona — or anywhere. “Nobody can explain it,” she added. “We’re trying to get to the bottom of it.”

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.

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.
