Romney, GOP Groups Pull Ads From Michigan and Pennsylvania
Post Date: 2012-09-06 13:21:38 by Brian S

Republicans signaled this week that they might have given up hope in two important swing states. The Romney campaign and conservative groups like Crossroads GPS have pulled TV ads in Michigan, Romney’s home state, according to the Detroit News. Nor are the campaign and super PACs running advertising in Pennsylvania, after unleashing a barrage there over the past five months. It is still possible for groups to purchase TV advertising in either state at a later date. The PollTracker Averages show President Obama ahead 48.9 percent to 45.4 percent in Michigan, and in Pennsylvania, where he leads 49.9 percent to 41.4 percent.
Top Ten Ways We Are Better Off Than In January 2009

It is breathtaking impudence that Republicans should try to campaign on whether we are better off than were were in the last six months of the Bush administration. I can’t believe we are even arguing about this. Seriously? The country had fallen off a cliff in the last years of Bush, or rather had been pushed off one by GOP policies. 1. In January 2009 we lost 600,000 jobs. In 2008 over-all, we lost 2.6 million jobs, the most in 6 decades! We’re now adding over 100,000 jobs a month. 2. Home mortgage foreclosures had spiked 80% in 2008! 3. We were at war in Iraq in January, 2009, with 314 American troops killed in 2008 in what had become a fruitless quagmire launched on false ...
Feds Probe Alleged Hacking Theft Of Romney's Tax Returns

The U.S. Secret Service is looking into claims that someone stole presidential nominee Mitt Romney's income tax returns and is threatening to release them if he doesn't pay up. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie told CNET today that the agency is investigating, but had no further comment. The claim was made in a post on the Pastebin site on Sunday that alleged that Romney's federal tax returns were taken from the offices of PriceWaterhouse Coopers in Frankin, Tenn., on August 25 by someone who snuck into the building and made copies of the document. The message author threatened to release the files publicly on September 28 and said copies of the files had been given to ...
Ron Paul Will Launch Third Party Presidential Bid On TuesdayÂ’s Tonight Show

Speculation is mounting that Texas Rep. Ron Paul will mount a third party bid for the presidency as pressure from his supporters builds ahead of his appearance Tuesday night on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno. According to a report, Paul’s supporters were deeply upset by how the libertarian Texas Representative was treated at the Republican National Convention last week. 300 of them joined in a conference call on Sunday night planning to urge Paul to launch a last-minute independent bid for the White House. In order for Paul to appear on the ballot in all 50 states, he would have to join the Libertarian party’s ticket — either as former New Mexico Gov. Gary ...
Ron Paul Says Republican Party Is Not My Party

Hearst Washington Bureau Last week, Mitt Romney wowed conservatives at the Republican National Convention, but one Texas representative remains unimpressed. Former presidential candidate Ron Paul, who was described by the master of ceremonies at his Tampa campaign rally last Sunday as a “clean boat in a sea of garbage,” still has not endorsed the Republican presidential candidate. In an interview with Bloomberg, Paul even went so far as to say the Republican Party was not his party — and is, in many ways, irrelevant. “I do not like politics at all. I think both parties are Keynesian economists, and support positions that I do not like,” said Paul. Paul, who ...

Tea Party Goes Missing At Republican Convention

TAMPA, Fla. — Only a handful of the thousands of delegates and guests at the Republican National Convention sported ‘Don’t Believe the Liberal Media!” buttons. Only one woman could be seen wearing tea bags attached to her hat. A few “Don’t Tread On Me” flags poked through the crowd, but they mostly belonged to Ron Paul supporters. Of the convention's 55 prime time speakers, only two really qualify as Tea Party figures. Not a single prime time speech included the words “Tea Party.” And so movement that dominated Republican Party in 2010, sending outspoken representatives to both chambers of Congress and state and local governments, was ...

Senior Romney campaign adviser Eric Fehrnstrom on Sunday defended his boss for not thanking U.S. troops or even mentioning the war in Afghanistan while accepting the Republican presidential nomination during the GOP convention on Thursday. During an interview on CNN, host Candy Crowley asked Fehrnstrom if Mitt Romney snubbed the troops on purpose or if it was an oversight. “Well, the day before the convention speech, Candy, Gov. Romney traveled to Indianapolis on Wednesday, and he gave a speech before the American Legion,” the senior adviser explained. “That was an invitation that President [Barack] Obama declined. … And in that speech he talked about ...

Matthew Dowd, President George W.

During a panel segment on ABC’s This Week, senior Romney campaign adviser Kerry Healey noted that the false claim that Obama gutted the work requirement in welfare reform had “become so central to this race.” “What we’ve seen is that a unilateral action by the Obama administration saying, ‘We don’t feel that we need to enforce these anymore, we ...

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (L) is joined by vice-presidential candidate WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A modest bump in popularity for U.S. presidential hopeful Mitt Romney from this week's Republican Party convention looks to be short-lived, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. Democratic President Barack Obama regained a narrow lead on Saturday by 44 percent to 43 percent over his Republican challenger, former Massachusetts Governor Romney, in the latest daily installment of the four-day rolling poll. Romney was ahead by one point in Friday's online poll and two points in Thursday's survey as his campaign came under a blaze of media ...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- President Barack Obama lampooned the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and " trickle-down, you're on your own" economics Saturday, and declared that Mitt Romney "did not offer a single new idea" to fix the economy. "There was a lot of talk about hard truths and bold choices, but no one actually told you what they were," Obama said, chuckling, as he set out on a three-day tour of battleground states in the run-up to his own convention. Later, Obama said, the Republican gathering was so rooted in the past, there should have been a rabbit-ears antenna on the convention hall. ...
Huffington Post: Paul Ryan Admits Marathon Lie

Paul Ryan's campaign walked back comments the VP nominee made about running a marathon.
"I had a two hour and fifty-something" marathon, Ryan said last week an interview. "I hurt a disc in my back, so I don’t run marathons anymore."
But the Ryan campaign confirmed to Runner's World that he has only run one marathon, the 1990 Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, Minnesota, which he finished in just over 4 hours.
"The race was more than 20 years ago, but my brother Tobin—who ran Boston last year—reminds me that he is the owner of the fastest marathon in the family and has never himself ran a sub-three," Ryan said in a prepared statement. "If I were to do any rounding, it would certainly ...

TAMPA, Fla. — Even as Mitt Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan exhort Republicans to embrace their proposed Medicare changes and spending cuts, the party’s rank and file is growing less enthusiastic about the fight than the top of the ticket. Republican lawmakers and candidates are distancing themselves from the Ryan budget plan, which helped make the proposed changes a national issue. Republicans say the party now belongs to the more senior — and historically more malleable — member of the ticket, Mr. Romney, and not Mr. Ryan, the younger conservative firebrand who has become the subject of repeated Democratic criticism. “The plan is the Romney plan,” ...

LAFITTE, Louisiana — One day after he was named official flag-bearer of the Republican revolution, Mitt Romney confronted the limits of his small government rhetoric Friday in the storm-ravaged Louisiana Bayou. As Hurricane Isaac petered out and headed off northwards, Romney jetted in from his nomination convention in Florida to visit the desperate residents of Lafitte, a small flood-damaged community just inland from New Orleans. There, with the world's media looking on, he met 22-year-old mother-of-two Ashley Vegas, whose home was destroyed by a 12-foot (four-meter) wall of water, and whose bare feet contrasted oddly with Romney's suede loafers. His advice for the suddenly ...

Thursday night on Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” host Stephen Colbert discussed one of the hottest political news topics of the 2012 Republican National Convention, the steaming pile of lies in vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s speech from Wednesday. Ryan, known — like Newt Gingrich — as a Republican “ideas guy,” took the mic on Wednesday night to thunderous applause from the delegates in attendance. It’s too bad that, as Colbert said, the biggest idea in Ryan’s speech was “Lying is handy.” One of Ryan’s jobs, said Colbert, is to make the Republican ticket appeal to younger voters. To that end, Ryan ...

Clint Eastwood's heart may have been in the right place, when he accepted the invitation to speak at the Republican National Convention, Thursday (Aug. 30), but his mind was clearly somewhere else. Possibly at home with his daughters telling a story about "the good old days," because from the sounds of it, that's exactly what he thought he was doing.
Rather than firing up the crowd for Mitt Romney's acceptance speech, Eastwood confused and amused all while his chair (holding an invisible President Obama) taunted him in the distance.
The 82-year-old stopped in the middle of his speech several times, and turned to hold an intimate conversation with the chair, eliciting more nervous ...
Republicans Ignoring Signs Of Some Economic Gains

WASHINGTON (AP) -- You wouldn't know it from listening to the Republican National Convention, but the nation's economic picture seems to be slowly getting a little brighter. Not a lot, and not very fast. Yet there are some glimmers. But a steady drumbeat of gloom and doom is predictably being sounded at the GOP gathering in Tampa, Fla. - even by Republican governors who are quick to tout economic improvements in their own states. Nationally, the recent gains are modest and won't do much to push the unemployment rate down much below its present 8.3 percent level before the Nov. 6 presidential election. But economists cite some encouraging new data: - The government reported ...

In his barnstormer of a speech to the swooning crowd at the Republican national convention on Wednesday night, Paul Ryan laid a mound of misdeeds at President Obama's door. To sustained applause from the floor, the vice-presidential candidate accused Obama of raiding Medicare, lying to auto workers and turning his back on the poor. But the speech (transcript here) was not always at pains to adhere to the historical record. At times, we are disappointed to report, Ryan baldly lied.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is warning Republicans that the strategy of relying on “angry white guys” is eventually going to doom his party. This week, the Republican Party, which is reportedly 92 percent white, has struggled to find minority speakers to take the stage at their convention. While former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, former Democratic Rep. Arthur Davis and Utah congressional candidate Mia Love all performed well, they were speaking to a crowd of overwhelmingly white faces. In fact, only 2 percent of Republican delegates are black. Graham told the The Washington Post that it’s just a matter of time before changing demographics catch up with his party. ...

The personal parts of the speech were very personally delivered, especially the touching parts where Ryan talked about his father and mother and their roles in his life. And at the end of the speech, when Ryan cheered the crowd to its feet, he showed an energy and enthusiasm that’s what voters want in leaders and what Republicans have been desperately lacking in this campaign.
