‘Kiss My Ass’: Fear and Loathing in the Romney Campaign
Post Date: 2012-08-03 11:02:00 by Brian S
4 Comments
If Mitt Romney’s purpose in traveling abroad this summer was to prove his credentials as a potential world leader, the verdict is mixed at best. Neither his tendency to utter bizarre insults nor his shallow, ideological approach to policy inspired much confidence, although he managed to garner support from Israel’s right-wing prime minister and an eccentric former leader in Poland. (Our allies in the United Kingdom may never want to hear from him again.) On the trip’s final leg, the world saw the most unattractive side of the Romney campaign, when the traveling press secretary loudly told reporters to “kiss my ass” and “shove it,” in a display of the ...

Romney’s Worst Nightmare: Palin and Paul
Post Date: 2012-08-01 19:51:14 by Hondo68

If it weren’t so tragic and there weren’t so much at stake, the tiptoe strategy of the Romney Tepid Team would actually be funny to watch. Here you have a group of archetypal RINOs who were clever and tough enough to figure out how to destroy the relatively weak Republican primary field while Romney patiently waited his turn — next in line behind John McMush — to be anointed by the Republican establishment.Since the Republican debates ended, however, Romney has been so weak-kneed that he’s barely been able to keep pace with a president whom everyone but the most naïve among us now realizes is a dedicated Marxist. Romney and his Tepid Team apparently feel ...

Obama Is Leading in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Poll Find

President Barack Obama holds an advantage over Republican Mitt Romney in three swing states critical to the outcome of the presidential election, according to a poll conducted by Quinnipiac University, CBS News and the New York Times. The telephone survey of likely voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania also finds support for the president’s plan to increase income taxes on upper-income Americans. The swing-state polling finds Obama supported by at least 50 percent of the voters surveyed in all three states, with the president leading Romney by 51 percent to 45 percent in Florida, 50 percent to 44 percent in Ohio and 53 percent to 42 percent in Pennsylvania. According to the ...

Texas Gop Chooses Tea Party-Backed Cruz For Senate

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Tea party darling Ted Cruz convincingly defeated the Republican establishment favorite, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, in Texas' runoff election Tuesday, capturing the GOP nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison as fiercely conservative voters shook one of America's reddest states to its political core. The race had been closely watched nationally as one of the nation's most-vivid contrasts between the GOP mainstream and grassroots, conservative activists. But as results began to pour in, it turned out to be no contest. Cruz grabbed early leads in key cities around the state where Dewhurst had once enjoyed stronger name recognition, ...

Dems Pick First Hispanic For Convention Keynote

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Marking a first for Hispanics, the Democratic party has chosen the mayor of San Antonio to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention. The party announced Tuesday that Mayor Julian Castro will deliver the high-profile, prime-time address on the convention's opening night, Sept. 4., in Charlotte, N.C. First lady Michelle Obama will also address convention delegates - and a nationwide television audience - on the same night. Castro, 37, is the youngest mayor of a major U.S. city and the first Hispanic selected to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic convention. President Barack Obama is banking on Hispanic support in battleground ...

White House Wants Romney To Explain Israel Remarks
Post Date: 2012-07-31 11:55:37 by Brian S

WASHINGTON — The White House called Monday on Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney to explain recent remarks including his apparent endorsement of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a position that counters US policy. Romney, in the midst of a three-nation tour, gave a speech Sunday in Jerusalem where he hailed the city as “the capital of Israel,” in apparent support of a position held by the Jewish state but never accepted by the global community. The comment was swiftly rejected by Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat as “unacceptable” and “harmful to American interests in our region.” But after Romney made fresh controversial statements Monday ...

Ron Paul Supporters, GOP Continue to Bicker

The infighting is getting worse between supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul and some state leaders of the Republican Party as the GOP national convention approaches. The latest developments include the decision by establishment Republicans in Maine to challenge the roster of Paul delegates from that state. The Republicans filed a challenge last weekend with the Republican National Committee, arguing that Paul forces used unauthorized procedures and broke party rules at the state convention when they captured more delegates than presumptive nominee Mitt Romney. Paul forces are also embroiled in a fight with establishment Republicans over who is entitled to the most delegates from ...

Unpleasant Electoral College Math For Romney

With less than 100 days to go before the election, President Obama has a decisive advantage in 12 swing states that would give him a comfortable margin of victory in the electoral college if the election were held today. The Hill: The crucial battleground states number about a dozen: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.  Taking the polling averages used by Nate Silver in the New York Times, the president is ahead in 10 of the 12 vital states. If those polls were borne out on Election Day, Obama would coast to victory with 332 electoral college votes. Only 270 votes are needed to win the ...

Bill Clinton will receive a plum speaking slot at this summer's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., a senior Barack Obama campaign official confirmed to Yahoo News. "There's no one better to cut through on economic issues and lay out the choice in the election because he understands the consequences of the policy differences-- he knows that with its top down approach the GOP turned a record surplus into a record deficit leading to the worst economic crisis since the Depression," the official said. "He'll lay out the case to continue building the economy from the middle class out." Clinton will be competing for viewership against the NFL ...

Romney Backs Israeli Military Strike On Iran & Declares Jerusalem As Capital, Wants To Move US Embassy

In a speech in Israel on Sunday, which can only be described as ‘hawkish’ (chickenhawk if you’re Romney), Mittens put his ‘WAR MODE’ on and spoke very aggressively on Iran. He also declared Jerusalem to be the capital of the Jewish state and said the United States has “a solemn duty and a moral imperative” to block Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability. The United States, despite its close ties with Israel, has refused to locate its embassy in Jerusalem out of its effort to be a trusted voice by both sides in efforts to negotiate an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal. “Make no mistake, the ayatollahs in Iran are testing our moral defenses. They ...

Pro-Ron Paul Delegates Challenged In Maine

PORTLAND, Maine—Members of Maine's Republican Party have filed a challenge to a pro-Ron Paul slate of delegates from Maine who were elected to attend next month's Republican National Convention. Peter Cianchette, a prominent Republican leader, and Janet Martens Staples, a Maine representative on the Republican National Committee, filed the challenge to 14 pro-Paul delegates and alternates on Saturday, the last day they could be challenged. A letter signed by Cianchette and sent to the counsel for the RNC in Washington claims there were illegal votes at May's state Republican Convention, that a quorum wasn't present when votes for delegates were case, and that ...

Romney Praises Israel’s Health Care System With Individual Mandate

Mitt Romney had kind words for Israel’s health care system Monday, even though, as ThinkProgress reports, it resembles the recently passed Affordable Health Care Act, which his party has been trying to repeal. The presumptive Republican presidential candidate said he admired Israel for spending less of its gross domestic product on health than the U.S. “You spend eight percent of G.D.P. on health care,” he said. “You’re a pretty healthy nation. We spend 18 percent of our G.D.P. on health care, 10 percentage points more.” The country’s health-care system includes an individual mandate clause, requiring citizens to buy one of four HMOs offered by the ...

Does Barack Obama Expect The Upcoming Election To Spark Rampant Civil Unrest? (most heated and divisive election in U.S. history)

What is Barack Obama preparing for? What does Barack Obama actually expect to happen in November? Does he believe that the upcoming election could actually spark rampant civil unrest inside the United States? The conditions are certainly ripe for civil unrest in this country. A multitude of recent polls and surveys have shown that Americans are angrier and more frustrated than ever. Sadly, we are taking a lot of that anger and frustration out on each other. America is more divided today than at any other time since the Civil War era. The left absolutely hates Mitt Romney the Republicans, and the right absolutely hates Barack Obama and the Democrats. If you doubt this, just surf political ...

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and wife Ann arrive in Tel Aviv, Israel. (Charles Dharapak / Associated Press / July 28, 2012) JERUSALEM -- Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who has committed more than $30 million to independent efforts to defeat President Obama, is expected to be among the donors mingling with Mitt Romney on Monday at a fundraiser in Jerusalem. But the Romney campaign has decided to bar reporters from that event -- breaking the protocol of an agreement developed with reporters and the campaign months ago. The presumed Republican nominee's campaign opened fundraisers to a small pool of reporters in May, as long as they were ...

Romney Woos Miami Via Tel Aviv, Registers US-Israel Vote

When Mitt Romney touches down in Tel Aviv tomorrow evening, he’ll have one eye cast toward Miami, Florida. The Republican presidential candidate will arrive in Israel as escalating violence in Syria is prompting a strategic reassessment of the region. Yet, for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, the stop has more to do with domestic politics than international anxieties. “Israel is basically another campaign stop, just like New Hampshire, Iowa or Florida,” said Mitchell Barak, an American- born, Jerusalem-based political consultant. “It’s voters, it’s money, it’s almost like a hechsher, a Kosher stamp of approval.” While Jewish voters ...

Mitt Romney and the New Gilded Age
Post Date: 2012-07-26 14:52:06 by Brian S

The election of 2012 raises two perplexing questions. The first is how the GOP could put up someone for president who so brazenly epitomizes the excesses of casino capitalism that have nearly destroyed the economy and overwhelmed our democracy. The second is why the Democrats have failed to point this out. The White House has criticized Mitt Romney for his years at the helm of Bain Capital, pointing to a deal that led to the bankruptcy of GS Technologies, a Bain investment in Kansas City that went belly up in 2001 at the cost of 750 jobs. But the White House hasn't connected Romney's Bain to the larger scourge of casino capitalism. Not surprisingly, its criticism has quickly ...

Mitt Romney Bain Capital Claims Don't Hold Up To Evidence
Post Date: 2012-07-26 14:49:35 by Brian S

Mitt Romney has repeatedly insisted that he had no active role at Bain Capital after February 1999, when he left the private equity firm to take over the Salt Lake City Olympics. In a federal disclosure form filed last August as part of his presidential bid, Romney said he "retired" from the company on Feb. 11, 1999, and since then "has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way." That date has been repeated by Romney and his team throughout the presidential campaign. But a growing pile of evidence shows that Romney was involved in Bain's dealings far longer than he claims. From signatures on Securities and Exchange Commission filings ...

Mitt Romney's Olympics Blunder Stuns NO 10 And Hands Gift To Obama

Mitt Romney handed Barack Obama a priceless gift for the US presidential election campaign when the presumptive Republican nominee blundered on his first diplomatic outing by questioning whether London was capable of staging a successful Olympic Games. In a move that astonished Downing Street, hours before it laid on a special reception for Romney at No 10 he told NBC there were "disconcerting" signs about the preparations for the Games. One senior Whitehall source said: "What a total shocker. We are speechless." David Cameron wasted no time in slapping down Romney hours after his remarks were broadcast. On a visit to the Olympic Park, the prime minister said: ...

Sorry, Romney: Neither America Nor the UK Are 'Anglo-Saxon' Countries

When a Mitt Romney foreign policy adviser reportedly told the UK Telegraph, in advance of the candidate's trip to England, "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special ... The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have," the comment sparked exactly the sort of campaign mini-controversy you might expect. Dogwhistles about Barack Obama's race and partial African heritage brought some of the 2008 campaign's ugliest moments, and "Anglo-Saxon heritage" could be interpreted as code for "white." The entirely foreseeable firestorm was followed by a similarly foreseeable Romney ...

McConnell promises busy Senate if GOP retakes upper chamber By Alexander Bolton and Bob Cusack - 07/24/12 05:00 AM ET Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday said the Senate will be “much busier” in 2013 should the GOP take control of the upper chamber, criticizing what he said is the Democrats’ penchant for closing up shop at 6 p.m. In an interview with The Hill, McConnell detailed how he would run the Senate, vowing to pass a budget, repeal “Obama-Care” and reform entitlement programs. He thinks Senate lawmakers need to work harder, which means keeping longer hours and taking politically difficult votes. This might cause grumbling among his rank and file, but ...

TEA PARTY THREAT DEFUSED, HATCH WANTS TO DO A DEAL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rare is the Tea Party-tested Republican senator who hangs an image of the Kennedys' Hyannisport home over his desk and shows off the painter's personal inscription. "Orrin," reads the note, scribbled below a cobalt-blue sea. "We'll leave the light on at the compound for you anytime. Ted Kennedy, '91." The beacon of bipartisanship that defined their odd-couple relationship still guides Utah's Orrin Hatch. He didn't advertise it as he wooed and won over the tea partiers who, two years ago, toppled fellow conservative Robert Bennett from his Senate perch. But now, with his state's Senate GOP nomination in hand and ...

Obama: Under Romney, Nation's Seniors Will Be 'Out Of Luck' And 'On Your Own' So The Rich Can Get Still More Tax Cuts
Post Date: 2012-07-19 15:39:54 by Brian S

President Barack Obama says Mitt Romney and Republicans are set to make seniors pay thousands more for Medicare so the rich can get still more tax cuts. Campaigning in Florida, Obama declared the GOP plan would tell the elderly, "You're out of luck. You're on your own." Obama spoke at a convention center in Jacksonville at the start of a two-day swing across Florida, a pivotal state in a tight election. The House GOP plan _ backed by Romney _ would change Medicare from a fee-for-service plan into one where future retirees buy insurance using government subsidies. Republicans argue it would introduce competition and give seniors more choices.

Ann Romney on Taxes: We've Given All "You People" Need to Know

As both Democrats and some Republicans urge presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns, the wife of the former Massachusetts governor has brushed aside concerns that her husband may be hiding something. Ann Romney spoke to ABC yesterday, where she expressed her belief that she and her husband have “given all you people need to know.” “You know, you should really look at where Mitt has led his life, and where he’s been financially,” she said on Good Morning America. “He’s a very generous person. We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide ...

Chris Christie To Be RNC Keynote Speaker

With the Republican National Convention just a month away from convening in Tampa, Mitt Romney’s campaign team is starting to bring the details into focus as sources from the New York Post report that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be the nominating convention’s keynote speaker. The unnamed GOP source, who was described as a New Jersey GOP activist, told the Post early this morning that the word is quietly going out to Garden State attendees of the convention to be sure not to miss the evening of August 28. “We’ve been told that’s the night to be there, that’s when the governor is going to speak. They’re saying he’s the keynoter.” ...
