"But when Romney eventually made his donation, he did so quietly, and through an unusual channel. Records filed by Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC with the Federal Election Commission did not include details of that $10,000 donation. Nor did NOM’s public 990 form. In fact, record of the payment was only uncovered Friday when the pro-gay rights Human Rights Campaign was sent a private IRS filing from NOM via a whistleblower. The Human Rights Campaign shared the filing with The Huffington Post."

Racist Teens Forced to Answer for Tweets About the 'Nigger' President

Sure the language is fucked up and these kids are a bunch of armchair revolutionaries, but what the fuck is up with Gawker contacting the schools of these kids?

Wow.  I mean, they may be the most offensive things ever said on twitter to some people, and that’s fine, but contacting their school to make them pay for it?  I don’t get the point.

And do you think their outrage extends to all the fuckers making “cracker” jokes on Twitter?

Yeah.  Of course not.  Coddle the black guy, fuck the white guy.

I love selective outrage.

Obama Wins 8 of the Nation’s 10 Wealthiest Counties - CNBC

If Romney is the one that loves the rich and Obama is a man of the people, why did so many rich folks vote for Obama?

Your messaging.  It fails.

"The bottom line is this: A party that talks a good game, and rhetorically touts laudable principles, isn’t worth a damn if it doesn’t put those principles to work to truly improve the state of the nation. I think the bare majority that re-elected Obama last night put little stock in Republican talk because they cannot recall meaningful Republican action to solve the nation’s problems. That’s surely unfair to Romney and Ryan, who aren’t responsible for the GOP’s failings of the past, but that’s how it is."

Romney Avoids Taxes via Loophole Cutting Mormon Donations

Now it makes sense as to why he didn’t release his tax returns other than the last year.  This is why he was so secretive; because he didn’t want people to see that he wasn’t paying any income taxes.

That’s not to say he wasn’t paying any taxes at all; of course he was, but that being said, we’ve always set dividing lines on income for the “people who pay” and “people who don’t” and frankly, Mr. Romney does not.

Romney isn’t the only one who uses trusts to avoid paying taxes.  The Kennedy clan has done it brilliantly ever since Joe set up a huge trust for all the kids to avoid estate taxes, and Gawker Media, one of the biggest critics of corporate tax payers, funnels their money through numerous European countries to avoid corporate taxes.

That being said, Romney’s credibility when talking about people who pay income taxes and the amount of skin they have in the game is greatly diminished when you have no skin of your own in the game.

Not that I was voting for Romney (or Obama) for that matter, but the people who do have a bit to answer for.

In my world, the solution is simple: no more tax deductions or tax credits.  Period.  None.  You have a flat 17% rate and everyone pays it with no “outs” for anything.  Lower the rate, broaden the base.  Then Romney and the Kennedys and Gawker can’t hide money because there’s no deductions.

Some day the so-called smart folks will come around to this.

People are dead-set against Obama’s policies as long as they think they’re Romney’s.

This kind of shit scares me.  I’m sorry.  And if it doesn’t scare you, you should be ashamed of your self.

Even David Letterman has had enough of the lies over the “Let them go bankrupt” thing that Romney never actually said.

The headline was written by the New York Times, not Mitt Romney.

The article itself talks about a legal structured bankruptcy as a way for the companies involved (Chrysler and GM) to come back from the dead as opposed to giving them taxpayer checks, buying up weak stocks, and screwing over investors (like Chrysler did).

That structured bankruptcy, however, is not what the Obama administration is referring to.  They’re clearly implying that Romney said “Let Detroit Rot,” which he clearly did not, he just had a different (and in my opinion better) way of handling GM and Chrysler sinking in quicksand.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Alternate Reality - By Nathaniel Botwinick - The Corner - National Review Online

DWS is a pathological liar.  Plain and simple.  For her to stand in front of a camera on television and say Romney never mentioned Israel is laughable, particularly in the age of the internet when video to contradict your stupidity is always just a click away.

"

The room set aside for reporters to watch Tuesday night’s debate erupted into applause after President Obama ridiculed the size of Mitt Romney’s personal wealth.

Mr. Romney was trying to make the point that both his and Mr. Obama’s investment funds probably include investments in China — something the president has attacked Mr. Romney for.

“Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?” Mr. Romney said.

“You know, I don’t look at my pension. It’s not as big as yours, so it — it doesn’t take as long,” Mr. Obama retorted. His reply prompted laughter in the debate hall where the two men were squaring off — but across the way in the separate room where the press was stationed, a brief round of applause broke out.

Candy Crowley: Romney ‘Right’ That Obama Didn’t Call Libya Terror, But Thought ‘He Picked The Wrong Word’ | Mediaite

Apparently Mitt was debating Candy Crowley and Barack Obama last night.  Incidentally, both Factcheck.org and WaPo agree with Mitt’s assessment that the administration was hesitant to call the attack terrorism, instead characterizing it as a protest over a YouTube video that spiraled out of control and into the attack on the embassy we’re discussing.

Nice one Candy.  Next time be a moderator and shut the hell up.

I don’t like Romney.  I’m not voting for Romney.

That being said, it’s hard to win a 2 on 1 debate.

And incidentally, Crowley did end up admitting Romney was correct.  Shame she stuck her nose in and then corrected herself when no one was watching.

"Romney may have been off base in suggesting PBS funding has much to do with the deficit, but that’s no excuse for the Obama campaign to declare that means the demise of a popular children’s character. According to the financials of Sesame Workshop, Big Bird should do just fine, with or without public funding."
