Romney not concerned with 47% of the votersPosted By Dave Snope |
C'mon Jim, let's be a little more fair with this mudslinging stuff. He's not worried about getting their votes. He's not worried about having to campaign to them, because he knows it's a lost cause. This has no relevance to whether he cares about them as people.
You don't really want to start a debate about which candidate has personally helped more people in need, do you?

Why Israel?Posted By Dave Snope |
Aaaah, it's the old zero sum game of the liberal mind. To give money to any one thing is to take it from some poor pituful thing.
And why did you pick Israel for this game? Why not the billions given to other countries? We give as much military aid to arab countries as we do Israel. Why not use one of those countries to phrase your question?
Seriously, I don't think you will understand the answers, when you have to ask the question. It makes me believe that you have no understanding of the values of freedom and the benefits that democracies bring, and have brought, to world, or any understanding of the threat of islamic domination in the middle east. It makes me think that you have no understanding of the history of world conflicts and the track record of how peace and stability came to regions of the earth. So just take the easy and stupid way out that most liberals take and say "It's all about oil for big fat Exxon" or something, and rest easy.

No, there's no indoctrination going on...Posted By Dave Snope |
There's no escape from these people. They've got the schools, the newspapers, the TV stations, most of the cable news, the radio news, the universities...
In California they're going to make TV shows indoctrinate their fans to the benefits of Obamacare. They plan to do it with "exchanges" which to me sound a lot like "carbon exchanges", so although it is voluntary, there is financial coercion in place. But you don't have to coerce the Hollywood crowd.
Officials in California plan to use popular network television shows to market the state’s new health care exchange, established as part of Obamacare, according to a marketing plan drafted in June.
“Individuals from California’s robust entertainment industry will be approached at the most senior levels to engage in California’s effort, to enroll residents in coverage, many for the first time,” the report states.
It continues, “A number of popular television programs and personalities such as Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family, the Biggest Loser, Dr. Oz and others will be approached and pitched to incorporate story lines or mentions of health care reform that would reinforce campaign messages.”

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Reaches Record HighPosted By Dave Snope |
Never one to let facts get in the way of his ego, yesterday Al Gore stupidly posted on his blog about the profound changes that are taking place in Antarctica. He wants us to think that a glacier's natural calving process is a sign of man-made global catastrophe.

Joe Bastardi tweets his take on Gore's post. I think he's being generous by saying the Gore is incompetent, given Gore's history as a cynical liar. Maybe it's some of both?

Obviously...Posted By Dave Snope |

Obviously the cabby was not a republican...
A Democrat would tell the old lady how to get government transportation vouchers so he can get paid by the taxpayers to drive her around all afternoon.
Obviously this driver was more likely an R than a D, as charity and donation of time to aid others in is higher by as much as 30% in R's over D's.

Not looking good for RomneyPosted By Dave Snope |
Very quietly, Obama’s chief financier, Penny Pritzker, has entered the Hawaii housing market to buy a retirement home for the president and his family that will be available not in 2016, but in January 2013, according to a confidential source within Pritzker’s Chicago organization
Pritzker, a wealthy Chicago business executive and heiress to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, served as national finance chairman for Obama’s 2008 campaign and is the co-chairman of his 2012 effort.
The source told WND that highly confidential internal polls conducted by the Obama campaign indicate Obama cannot win re-election, despite public surveys that show him in the lead.
“The public polls are mostly political,” the source argued. “Obama radicals want Romney supporters to feel discouraged and give up. Truth is that Romney’s winning.”

The source further told WND that Pritzker is experiencing frustration in her fundraising efforts, as wealthy donors who contributed generously to Obama in 2008 are not even returning her phone calls.
The source said Pritzker is “reminding everyone how generous to their supporters the Clintons were when they left office.”
“Everything is for sale. Ambassadorships, government grants, stimulus money – you name it,” the source told WND.
“There’s nearly three months between the Nov. 6 election and the Jan. 20 inauguration – plenty of time to hand out goodies to friends from the Oval Office.”
Pritzker is telling potential donors that the Obamas have no intention of returning to Chicago when they leave the White House, according to the source.
She is also raising money for the Obama presidential library and museum, which also are slated for Hawaii.
Pritzker’s search for a developed property, suitable for occupancy four months from now, instead of property where a custom-designed estate might be built, is further indication that insiders believe Obama will not be re-elected.
Kevin DuJan, founder and editor of HillBuzz.org, first reported Pritzker was acting as a proxy to purchase a $35 million oceanfront estate in Kailua, the “Beverly Hills of Hawaii,” on the northeast shore of the island of Oahu.
DuJan reported billionaire Pritzker herself may contribute up to half the $35 million purchase price of the future Obama residence.
The property that appears to fit the description is an estate seen in a recent episode of the popular television show “Hawaii Five-O.”
As featured recently in Honolulu Magazine, the property consists of a main residence and a guest home located on 1.5 acres in an area called “Beachfront,” just before the Lanikai neighborhood in Kailua on Oahu’s Windward Coast.
Jeff Kerr of Kerr Michaels Design told Honolulu Magazine he designed the estate to replicate properties constructed in Hawaii in the early 1900s.
The interior of the house is 8,419 square feet, with another 5,359 square feet of lanai area. The main house has five bedrooms, five baths, two powder rooms, a professional media room and a cabana adjacent to the pool and spa.
A panoramic tour of the world-class, beachfront property can be taken on the Internet, allowing the viewer to “walk through” the home and see its expansive views of the Pacific Ocean.
DuJan at HillBuzz.org has been reporting that Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, who is currently living with the Obama family in the White House, has been bragging about moving to Hawaii.
“It was fun while it lasted,” HillBuzz.org quotes Robinson as saying, “but wait until you see the place they’re buying for Michelle and Barack!”

LOL. A folding chair on a string is now "a racist public display".
Congrats, Tony. That's about as deep as you can dig. Although I could probably do you one better if I went outside and interviewed the guy who cuts my grass wearing his "repent or die" T-shirt. He's got it all figured out. And it includes aliens.

A New LowPosted By Dave Snope |
Your interpretation about unsubstantiated Republican claims is preposterous. "There is no plan" is one of worst weasel phrases in in political use. The Egyptian government asked for his release. The admin will not say "never", they only say "no plan". So naturally, they are being pressed by a Republican to make a stronger statement.
