Rachel Maddow Rips Mitt Romney For Lies
Posted by Michelle Moquin on September 29th, 2012
Good morning!
I’m sorry I have not been visible much here lately. It is the Fall season – one of my busiest times of the year. I will get a break on Tuesday so HOPEfully then I can check in and respond to a few of you. I do have to say that I do visually scan the comments when I have a moment to see what catches my eye. And I usually go to the last comment just for fun.
And the last comment from yesterday caught my eye. I have to say, Upworthy: That segment with Ann Coulter on The View was just crazy. She was getting it from all sides, and even Elisabeth Hasselback, a republican, whom I am no fan of and whom usually is very verbal, didn’t jump in and add much but didn’t say much in defense of Coulter either.
Coulter definitely deserves the title LSOS, and she knows it…makes tons of money being one, and is laughing all the way to the bank, with thoughts of what other lies she’s going to print in her next book to bring in more.
Okay….I saw this a few days ago but thought it was worthy of printing today. Romney continues to be the LSOS that he is and proves it time and time again. Rachel Maddow calls him on it.
Rachel Maddow Rips Mitt Romney For Lies In Campaign Ads (VIDEO)
Rachel Maddow laid into Mitt Romney’s campaign for failing to correct false claims made in campaign ads, even though the Republican presidential candidate recently told reporters otherwise.
Earlier this week, Romney told a CNN reporter that, when it comes to using accurate facts and figures, his campaign has “been absolutely spot on.” He added, “And anytime there’s anything that’s been amiss, we correct it or remove it.”
Maddow said that a campaign correcting inaccurate facts is a “normal process.”
“That’s what makes that statement so newsworthy, because they Romney campaign…hasn’t been correcting or removing their own false claims from the record when they are proven to be false, which is a strange decision for a campaign operating at the presidential level,” she said.
Maddow went through a number of campaign ads that included false claims that the Romney campaign did not correct or remove. For instance, Romney’s first general election campaign ad included Obama saying, “If we keep talking about the economy, we are going to lose.”
In actuality, Obama said that comment on the campaign trail in 2008, and was quoting then-Republican presidential candidate, John McCain. “Sen. McCain’s campaign actually said, and I quote, ‘If we keep talking about the economy, we are going to lose.’”
Maddow said the discrepancy between what Obama actually said and the way the Romney campaign presented it in its campaign add was pretty severe. “That’s a really big, really bad lie,” she said.
Despite the blatant inaccuracy, the Romney campaign kept the ad intact and on its YouTube channel.

I read this. It is appalling.
==========
Clayton Williams (credit: Tim Fischer)
Karl Rove’s American Crossroads super PAC reported Thursday that it raised over $9.4 million in August — $1 million of which came from Clayton Williams Energy Inc. in Midland, Texas.
That company’s chairman of the board, president, and chief executive officer is, unsurprisingly, Clayton Williams, Jr. Williams was the Texas Republican gubernatorial nominee who lost his 1990 race to then-State Treasurer Ann Richards (D) after making infamous comments defending rape.
At a cattle roundup on his Texas ranch, the oil and gas tycoon told ranch hands, campaign workers, and reporters that bad weather was like rape. “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.” His double-digit lead in the polls evaporated and he lost the election.
The contribution is indeed ironic, as Karl Rove has been among the most vocal critics of Senate nominee Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) after his August comments that victims of “legitimate rape” are unlikely to become pregnant.
American Crossroads and its affiliated secret-money Crossroads GPS cancelled all independent expenditures in Missouri after Akin’s comments — after having invested at least tens of thousands into the race.
Later, Rove had to apologize after joking “We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”
While Rove and Crossroads seem to want nothing to do with Akin and his comments, it is telling that they are willing to accept a massive sum of money from a man whose only rape comments were arguably even more offensive.

Who Needs Cash or Credit Cards? Turn Your Smartphone into a Virtual Wallet
Your smartphone might not just replace your home phone—it also could replace your ATM and even your wallet before long. A range of new smartphone apps for “mobile payments”—some fairly well-known and others less so—enable consumers to use their phones to manage their bank accounts…transfer money to friends…and even scan credit cards, allowing a small business or even someone holding a yard sale to accept payment in plastic. And some stores are starting to accept payments via smartphone, although various kinks remain to be worked out before that practice becomes widespread.
BANKING VIA SMARTPHONE
Online banking has become mainstream. Now an increasing number of banks allow customers to perform many transactions right from their smartphones. That’s handy for people who spend a lot of time on the road or who often need to transfer money between bank accounts, pay recurring bills or check balances on short notice.
Some banks and credit unions even let account holders deposit checks though their smartphones. Just use the smartphone’s camera to photograph both sides of the endorsed check, then submit it through the bank’s app.
Examples:
Large banks that offer mobile check deposit include Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, PNC and US Bank. Credit unions include Alliant and Patelco.
Is it safe?
Mobile banking transactions are encrypted, and accounts are password-protected, so a thief who steals your phone should not be able to access your bank accounts. Still, digital accounts can be hacked.
What to do:
Confirm that your bank does not hold you liable, or at least limits liability, for mobile fraud losses. Avoid making banking transactions over public Wi-Fi connections. Monitor accounts, and report unusual activity to the bank immediately to limit potential liability.
PROCESS CARD PAYMENTS
Several companies now offer low-cost ways to turn smartphones into credit card–processing devices. That means smartphone owners can accept credit card payments at their yard sales, community fund-raisers and part-time businesses.
Examples:
Square, a company launched by one of the cofounders of Twitter, offers tiny credit card readers that attach to the headphone jacks of iPhones, iPads and Android smartphones. The card reader and accompanying app are free, but Square takes 2.75% of each swiped credit card payment.
The rest of the payment is deposited in the user’s bank account (www.SquareUp.com). PayAnywhere is very similar, but it works with BlackBerry smartphones, as well as Apple and Android devices, and charges 2.69% per swiped credit card transaction (www.PayAnywhere.com).
Is it safe?
For the seller, risks should be minimal. Buyers might have some qualms about handing over their credit cards to strangers to scan through their smartphones—though this really isn’t much riskier than handing a credit card to a waiter in a restaurant.
Buyers should use a credit card rather than a debit card for smartphone transactions to limit their liability if the account information does fall into the wrong hands—fraud losses for credit card users typically are capped at $50, assuming that the problem is reported promptly.
PAY FRIENDS
Maybe you dined out with a friend only to discover that the restaurant doesn’t take credit cards and you don’t have enough cash to pay your share…or perhaps you lost a bet on the golf course but don’t have sufficient funds on hand to make good.
If you don’t like to have debts hanging over your head—or you’re afraid that the debt might slip your mind—you could use your smartphone to transfer the money immediately.
Example:
With the PayPal Mobile smartphone app, you can send money from a BlackBerry, Apple or Android smartphone to anyone else—even someone who doesn’t yet have a PayPal account (though he/she will have to open one to retrieve your payment).
All you need is the recipient’s e-mail address or mobile phone number. PayPal will send a message explaining how to claim the money or saying that the money has been deposited in the person’s account if the phone number or e-mail address already has been linked to a PayPal account.
There’s no fee for transferring money this way within the US if your PayPal account is linked to a bank account or PayPal balance. If it’s linked to a debit or credit card, there’s a fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. (On http://www.PayPal.com, search for “Mobile” near the bottom of the page.)
Is it safe?
Using PayPal Mobile on a smartphone essentially should be as safe as using the well-established PayPal on a computer. Each PayPal Mobile money transfer requires confirmation with a personal identification number (PIN), so a thief who steals your smartphone shouldn’t be able to make unauthorized transfers.
PayPal promises 100% protection for unauthorized transfers, assuming that PayPal is notified within 60 days and certain other conditions are met.
What to do:
A high-tech crook who manages to load a virus onto your smartphone might be able to obtain your PIN and make unauthorized transfers. PayPal’s $0 liability guarantee should protect customers if this occurs, but consider linking the account to a credit card rather than a bank account to obtain the additional consumer protections that credit cards provide.
MAKE PURCHASES
We are slowly gaining the ability to pay for purchases simply by waving our smartphone in front of a scanner at the register or typing a PIN into an app on the phone. The credit card, debit card or PayPal account information that we have previously stored in a “mobile wallet” app in the phone is then transmitted to the merchant.
Smartphone payments such as these already are possible at a few retailers, including Foot Locker, The Home Depot, Macy’s and Starbucks. Trouble is, even if you patronize a retailer that accepts mobile payments and you have a mobile wallet app on your smartphone, you won’t necessarily be able to pay this way.
There currently are several competing mobile payment technologies and apps, including Google Wallet…Isis Mobile Wallet…and PayPal Mobile. Even retailers who accept mobile payments are unlikely to accept them all.
Example:
Starbucks has perhaps the most widely used mobile payments program—but it accepts only its own Starbucks app.
Many analysts expected Google Wallet to dominate the sector—Google dominates most of the sectors it enters—but thus far, it has found limited acceptance. Most smartphones lack the “near field communications” (NFC) technology that Google Wallet requires, and as of mid-2012, Sprint is the only major carrier that supports the Google Wallet platform for a variety of phones.
Mobile payments might become more widely accepted in the near future as an increasing number of phones equipped with NFC technology reach the market—Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 operating system, due out this autumn, will support NFC, and there’s been speculation that Apple’s next iPhone might as well.
But for most consumers, there’s little reason to worry about any of this, at least not until the technology sorts itself out in the coming years. The advantages of paying by phone are not great, at least for now.
It might save you a few seconds—particularly if you’re someone who has your smartphone in your hand much of the time anyway—but paying by credit card or cash is pretty fast, too.
Is it safe?
Proponents of mobile payments say that loading credit card data into a smartphone is safer than carrying around the card itself—because both the smartphone and the app can be password-protected and because a victim is likely to quickly notice if a smartphone is stolen.
But until mobile payments achieve widespread acceptance, we will have to carry our credit cards around, too, negating those advantages. Meanwhile, security experts have shown that mobile wallet apps such as Google Wallet can be hacked if the phone is stolen.
What to do:
If you do use a mobile wallet app, set passwords for both your smartphone overall and the mobile wallet application.
Load credit card—not debit card—account information into the app to take advantage of stronger credit card consumer protections, and monitor that credit card account closely. If your smartphone supports a “remote wipe” feature, install this and know how to use it so that you can clear the phone’s memory quickly if it is stolen.

Talk about how easy it is for the Right to delude their ignorant flock. This is so revealing. For Huff Post:
=========================
When you live inside a bubble, denial comes easy. And for conservatives in the media searching for an explanation for why President Obama seems increasingly well positioned to win re-election, denial comes way to easy.
After four years of relentlessly condemning Obama as an historic failure and all around bad person, conservatives are desperately trying to explain the disconnect between their dire Obama denunciations and the on-the-ground political reality about Obama’s polling surge. They need a scapegoat, and pollsters have been cast in the role.
Just as left-leaning community organizers at ACORN were selected as unlikely scapegoats for John McCain’s loss in 2008, pollsters today have been tapped by the far right as conniving conspirators in cahoots with Democrats to seal another election for Obama.
Recall that four years ago little-known ACORN was allegedly trying to flood ballot boxes with fraudulent votes. The rhetoric was so persistent that a 2009 poll found a majority of Republicans believed ACORN “stole” the election for Obama, who defeated McCain by more than nine million votes.
======================
This begs the question, Is there anything this brain dead base won’t believe?

Howie, so much is going on. Where are you? Have you left the planet?
September 29th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I am hoping – and praying – that come October 3rd the country will see a side of Mr. Romney that we’ve been hoping for. A gloves off, in-your-face, Mr. President, about Obama’s failures, lies, ineptitude and ignorance when it comes to our safety, our economy and this country’s future.
September 29th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
The Republicans can’t help but show their colors, can they?
Now, they are supporting Todd Akin.
September 29th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
If Romney is a mouse during the debates… he will lose! He has to go large. He has to put Obama and his administration in their place as idiots.
I really can’t believe this country elected a monkey to run our government.
September 29th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
For the life of me I can’t understand how any woman could vote for this guy.
September 29th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Patti, Precisely. That shouldn’t be too difficult, however. They ARE idiots (and that’s giving them the benefit of the doubt).
September 29th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
I agree with you Joan. I’m surprised to hear that Todd Akin thinks that being ladylike is a requirement to be elected as a United States Senator. I wonder when he will start being more ladylike himself.
September 29th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
I am so with you Doug!! Romney has got to stop with the cutesies! He needs to display his oomph and soon!!!
September 29th, 2012 at 1:14 pm
He needs to display some GUTS!!!!!!!!!

Mostly we hear on this blog about how dumb white republican women are. Well how about gay male republicans?
Truly there is nothing dumber on the planet that a gay republican white boy.
=============
This week’s issue of Huffington ventures inside gay Republican organizations, spotlights America’s mountain lion enthusiasts and goes deep into the creative, mischievous mind of China’s famous dissident artist Ai Weiwei.
Lila Shapiro puts the spotlight on the small but robust gay contingent within the GOP, which includes a rivalry between the Log Cabin Republicans and GOProud.
The stylistic differences between Log Cabin, which was founded in the 1970s, and the three-year-old GOProud were evident in their convention events:
Log Cabin, with its white wine and crab cakes, and GOProud’s male go-go dancers sporting skin-tight shirts reading “Freedom is Fabulous.”
As Lila shows, the debates within gay Republican circles are more nuanced than many observers might expect. And the results are not what you’d expect, either.
For example, it’s the more restrained Log Cabin members who are unsettled by Mitt Romney’s stance on gay issues — including his pledge to ban gay marriage — and have so far refrained from endorsing him, while GOProud’s co-founder Jimmy LaSalvia endorsed Romney by saying, “Gay people are living in the disastrous failed Obama economy too.”
====================
It is hard to imagine anyone from the gay or black community NOT voting for Obama.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
Miss Nellie please show me where that can be found in these United States? Guts has taken a hike. The very reason obama has his way on every thing.. Sorry no guts no spine can be found.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:28 pm
GOProud is 8 people, half of whom are heterosexual. No wonder they chose to have go-go boys. A visual distraction – ANY distraction – over sound policies.
And the Log Closet gays are hardly any better, sticking in a party that ‘PROMISED’ to change the Constitution in order to forever enshrine anti-gay discrimination into it.
Shame on the lot of them.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
I prefer white wine over go-go dancers any day, but these two groups are too self depreciating for my support
September 29th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
The Republican party, Romney, Ryan, and many others who jumped on the bandwagon to bash Akin BLEW IT. I’m not a big fan of Gingrich, but he had the most rational reaction to Akin’s poor choice of words.
This has nothing to do with “party loyalty”, and everything to do with “common sense”.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
You know, Don……you’ve got me there. America has lost her spine….good lord your are right….who the heck elected Obama?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Akin has my support and I contributed through two groups fundraising for him. He apologized and he is such an improvement over Sen McCaskill who finds no problem with murdering innocents.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Where was Akin’s common sense when he said that women have spermicidal anti-rape vaginas?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:34 pm
Don, How right you are.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Romney needs to get in those debates and kick some black ass. You don’t beat an alley fighter with Marquis of Queensbury rules! Legendary baseball manager Leo Durocher said it best: “Nice guys finish last.”
September 29th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
It would be pretty unpatriotic and a dirt throwing challenge for Rove & his GOP buddies to attack an Hispanic, decorated, disabled veteran, doctor, and SWAT team officer who served under President Bush. Attack Carmona because he’s a Democrat? That’s about all that Rove would be able to come up with.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
The one big difference between the Romney broken Back and McCain Spineless is that Romney actually wants to win. If he sees that he will lose playing tiddle-winks with Obama, then he will start to play bigboy ball.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
Juanita, Where was YOUR common sense when you felt it was necessary to totally misquote his words?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Juanita, you reacted to Mr. Akin’s word like the ignorant wet back you are, for your information his words were based on some Medical research that indicated as much you dimwit.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Brian, Romney had better get in there and kick some nigger ass. The world will be watching the debates.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:44 pm
Seems to me… Mitt’s always defending some nonsensical gibberish tossed in his court buy the ‘Chicago mob’… the guy really needs to figure… ya don’t make points on defense!!!
For “CHRIST’S” sake Romney… get on the OFFENSIVE and whip some Kenyan butt… And articulately brother!
Amen
September 29th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
I think this is proving more historic than the current view reveals – I think this is the last gasp of a radical-conservative-billionaire-owned white-guy Repub Party.
And for their sake, it better be unless they want to go the way of the Whigs and Bullmoosers. It’s one thing to look fondly on what visualizes as “the good-old days”.
It’s bucking the hard truth, however, to ignore that “life keeps on turning” unavoidably, inexorably, inevitably, unstoppingly – always and always. Time never goes backwards.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
OK if the American people will listen to anyone it is Madonna. She says we have a Muslim in the white house and is celebrating the fact. She sees it . Is she that much smarter than the rest of the people in the world???
September 29th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Pamela, I choose to ignore your racist attacks upon my race because I want to stick to the issues. You claim that Akin’s remark about a woman being capable of “shutting that whole thing down.” If it is a legitimate rape comes from medical research.
What medical research?
Am I a dimwit because I’ve never heard from any medical source of authority that women have spermicidal anti-rape vaginas?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Juanita, Where was Obama’s common sense when he said that if one of his little brats got knocked up, he wouldn’t want to “punish her with a baby?” And where’s your common sense inasmuch as you support that hustler and con artist?
September 29th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Juanita, No doubt he read something off of some slip-shod blog; is it his fault that the MSM is such a bunch of liars that we all have to go to bloggers to get info and that some of that doesn’t fact-check?
Many things taught in our childrens science books are based more in political science than in good research; for instance we now have better studies on the effects on children raised by same sex households and it shows that to be a bad situation (unlike the studies done earlier with political science methods)
September 29th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
There is a lot of hand wringing on the posts today. Missouri…you can either believe the polls and stay home, or make this your best day…your greatest day at the voting booth…and vote for Mr. Akin.
With everyone looking at Rasmussen, Gallup etc.–it is all BS. The only poll that counts is where you cast your ballot. All of these pollsters have hornswoggled the US public into thinking they can use statistical analysis to predict what you are going to do next.
Defy them and their odds by getting out the vote. Remember 2010…the pollsters are using sampling data for comparison from 2004 and 2008…forgetting the 2010 onslaught that cost the Democrat Party dearly in local/state/federal elections.
It is going to happen again if you all do not lose heart, and refrain from voting. Make it happen, Missouri!
September 29th, 2012 at 2:57 pm
Todd Akin is running against a socialistic nihilist candidate!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
As a Canadian who is only able to get info online or on tv, it is apparent that the GOP is radically different in their beliefs than mainstream America.
All I can say is that I hope the coming election will reduce substantially the obstructive power they wield. Your country is, to me, at a crossroads.
It is more than time that all eligible voters made themselves heard in the next election . To not do so will mean the loss of your country and it’s society to those whose ideological stance is far removed from the majority.
We made the same mistake here in Canada at our last election and we are paying big time for it . Democracy in my country is only a pale imitation of what it should be. Please don’t follow our lead. You cannot afford it, nor can the world .
September 29th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
It will be a sad day and a display of incredible stupidity if McCaskill is reelected because of a single gaffe, bad as it might be, by Akin.
No matter what his faults, Akin does not mean four more years of regulation piled on regulation infiltrating into every aspect of our lives. It does not mean more trillion dollar a year spending sprees, the destruction of domestic energy, higher gasoline prices, continued job loss and high unemployment.
The final destruction of the middle class, Obamacare becoming so imbedded it can’t be removed, educational curriculums being produced and directed from Washington.
Controls on the food you or your children eat, a more brutish Homeland Security, continued rule by executive order and total disregard for the Constitution.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
VOTE the GOP Congress and Senate OUT !
September 29th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Since it looks like President Obama will be reelected handily, Americans will just get more of a paralyzed government if they send the same old stonewalling GOP House members and GOP Senate filibusterers back to Congress.
Replace them for the good of us all. Dump them into the nearest landfill.
Our Constitution requires that our representatives “promote the general welfare of the people.” So do it.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
What does this all tell us? We all know the amoral liberals would not have done this in the first case but when the GOP and even “conservatives” like Ryan throw a conservative under the bus because of PC and then when it looks like he has enough voter support to win without them they want back in or claim the devil made them do it.
With all the baggage he carries I still say the voters/establishment made a big mistake by not going for either Newt who is smart and can at least appear like conservative is not a second language or someone with principles like Santorum.
I don’t think the problem is as much with Mitt as with all the sissy boy advisers. I believe Rick and Newt have enough self confidence to do what they think instead of being lead to defeat like McCain.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:09 pm

Well, maybe so. The RNC didn’t do to good of a job getting
McCain/Palin elected to the presidency four years ago, did they?
September 29th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Assuming that the liberal “moderators” will allow it, Mitt needs to HAMMER Obama during the debates. McCain played nice.
When it was clear it wasn’t working, he “took the gloves off,” which, for him, meant bringing a water pistol to a gunfight.
First, Romney points out the OBVIOUS disjoint between Obama’s promises and his results.
Then, when Obama repeats his “the economic situtation was worse than we realized” whine, Romney points out that SOMEONE THAT CLUELESS SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE RUN.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
It is not Mitt’s fault that we complain about his so-so campaign. It’s the fault of GOP establishment who decimated all GOP candidates except Romney.
Now the Rove-s, Kristol-s, etc. can see their failures. GOP did the same in 2008.
If GOP candidate can not defeat Obama-2012 then GOP should resign from politics.
Enough incompetence is enough .

As I look at the Electoral Map, I am still amazed at the South, some polls giving Romney a 30+ point spread. It says a lot about the social, financial, educational and racial divisions that remain entrenched in the US.
I love to hear when one speaks of “American values”. What exactly are those values? The ones I feel are important, I.e. personal freedom, opportunity for all, fairness, religious freedom, environmental concern, multiculturalism, etc.? Not apparently shared by the south.
Although I live in the South in a red state, I can’t help but feel that I’m a lone wolf when I hear some of the vitriol, racism, false religiosity, and Bitherism, that affects my neighbors, here and in some of the Mid West.
It’s shocking and dismaying and motivates me more than ever to make sure that I vote for the Candidates that represent the America I believe in and want to live in. Those candidates overwhelming reside in the Democratic Party at this time.
My vote may not make a difference in my red state, but my influence and money must might help nationally. I am dedicated to a “Blue Nation” because that is where I live, only “residing” in a Red State.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Arnold, Although I agree with your criticism of the Republican establishment I do see some hope on the horizon. The mistake the GOP seems to keep repeating is the next guy in line is up.
The game changers in the party will come from people like Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Mia Love, Allen West and Bobby Jindal etc.
These are the next generation of GOP that the youth of this country can get excited about. The next man in line practice has to end.

Newt Gingrich would have been a great candidate… and a great Reagan like President. He’s very intelligent and not afraid of telling it like it is.
He would have stomped all over Obama… and would have killed him in the debates. But the Republican Party destroyed him.
Who cares if he was married 3-4- or 6 times. Who cares. It’s a stinking shame he lost. We lost a great president.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
The American people have, for the most part, had their fill of regurgitated Reagan-nomics being tauted as a viable economic theory and jingoistic bellicosity being passed off as good foreign policy. That, my friends, is why Mitt Romney is losing.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Patti #49, I overwhelmingly agree. It sure would have been a lot of fun watching BO and lefties go nuts trying to keep all the fires down.
The MSM wouldn’t be big enough to protect him. Oh well, we don’t have Newt and we have to hope for the best with what we’ve got – and that’s saying a lot!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Whatever you are smoking Patti #49, I know people who will pay good money for some of it. Newt Gingrich is a dumb man’s smart person.
Anyone else can see through that LSOS every time.

William, your in a dream. the media would have tore him up an spit him out. its the whole of america we must change., don’t you see a pattern ?
September 29th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Couldn’t agree with you more, Patti, I’ve been a big Newt fan for years,even arguing with my own Republican family over him.
Romney is too weak and mild to slug it out with the Socialist.I’m afraid we missed our chance,God help our U.S.of A.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
AMEN!! Mitt Romney, play GUTS BALL! Obama will lose!!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
I agree. All that you listed, Chuck will be great in 2016 if it’s not too late. Love Allen West
September 29th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Obama is a terrible president. Anyone who loves this country and wants it back knows that Romney is a much better qualified man for the job.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
I completely agree- in 2008, McCain in fact, seemed to be running to lose, as if there had already been an agreement – just like Dole in ’96.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:29 pm

Rex, “I completely agree- in 2008, McCain in fact, seemed to be running to lose, as if there had already been an agreement – just like Dole in ’96.”
Could almost be an exact quote from me. I have said as much so many times in the last three years. That’s exactly what it looked like to me too. That he was just there because there is supposed to be two candidates. He didn’t even try.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Sorry looks like the same race just 4 years later. Hell Mitt got some of the same handers that McCain had. Telling him the same shit that they told McCain.
Please lets get out of this rut.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Romney has accumulated tons of cash for 30-second ads. But unless they’re placed on the scaffolding of serious speeches making the larger argument, they will be treated as nothing more than tit for tat…GoldenChance.notlong.com
September 29th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
It is not what Romney is not it is what obama is. Obama is a muslim and we have more in this country than you would ever imagine.
The next war will be on the streets of this country. We have rahm emanuel choosing one of the worst people in the world to so called cleam up the streets of Chicago.
I can’t think of his name, oh yes Lois Farakahn. One of the most likely to incite to riot people in this country.

The Obama Administration also made four significant accounting changes to more accurately report the total spending by the federal government. The four changes were:
1.accounting for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (“overseas military contingencies”) in the budget rather than through the use of supplemental appropriations;
2.assuming the Alternative Minimum Tax will be indexed for inflation;
3.accounting for the full costs of Medicare reimbursements; and
4.anticipating the inevitable expenditures for natural disaster relief.
According to administration officials, these changes will make the debt over ten years look $2.7 trillion larger than it would otherwise appear.[46]
September 29th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Prepare for 4 more years of the dark ages. Frankly, the GOP establishment are a bunch of gutless pussies.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
If it happens that Romney does not become a lion instead of a mouse, expecially during the debates, he will lose. If that happens I will start to wonder if the Republican Party is in cahoots with the Liberals in destroying this country.
McCain did nothing to help himself win and told Sarah Palin to stop being so agressive in her speeches. He lost.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Stop and think about this: former Bill Clinton was impeached for lying to the Senate about his affair with Lewinski, but Obama has been lying to the American people for 4 years with a main stream media protecting him all the way.
WHAT??? NO impeachment of Obama…YET???
NO, Ted up is right….We have a GOP establishment that are a bunch of pussies. All keeping queit under the radar so they can keep their high paying, great medical benefits and position.

2008 vs. 2009
In October 2009, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) gave the reasons for the higher budget deficit in 2009 ($1,410 billion, i.e. $1.41 trillion) over that of 2008 ($460 billion).
The major changes included: declines in tax receipt of $320 billion due to the effects of the recession and another $100 billion due to tax cuts in the stimulus bill (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or ARRA);
$245 billion for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other bailout efforts; $100 billion in additional spending for ARRA; and another $185 billion due to increases in primary budget categories such as Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, Social Security, and Defense – including the war effort in Afghanistan and Iraq.
This was the highest budget deficit relative to GDP (9.9%) since 1945.[44] The national debt increased by $1.9 trillion during FY2009, versus the $1.0 trillion increase during 2008.[45]
Again FY 2009 was a Bush budget year starting on Oct 1 , 2008 before Obama was elected and Obama was handed a 1.7 trillion deficit and 12 trillion in new projected debt per the CBO. Note Bush was handed surpluses and 5.6 trillion in projected surpluses over the next ten years.

I’m afraid, too. I am not getting any warm fuzzies about how he’s going to pull this off in such a short period of time. I think he delayed past the point of no return.
The undecideds are starting to decide and it isn’t pretty. Laura Ingrham may have been right. If the republicans can’t win this one, handed to them on a golden patter, than the might as well fold up the tent and let a new party in that has some guts to get the job done.
Everyone has written Sarah Palin and the Tea Party off, but like the Phoenix, they may rise from the ashes. People may not agree with everything the stand for and say, but at least they are commited to the cause and actually perform by saying what they think, what they are going to do, and than do it.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
The Conservative Republicans, led by Sen Jim Demint, have backed Akin. The RNC went off half-cocked in reaction to Akin’s unqualified effort to answer a female anatomical question.
I figure he tried to satisfy with an answer, but such departments are not his forte. It doesn’t mean he won’t be a good Senator.
Therefore, I have donated to him through Sen. Jim Demint. Mike Huckabee backs him and I admire Mike Huckabee. Mistakes have been made, we can still correct them! Let’s win!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Yes, but: stupidity and self-absorbed unethical behavior has never kept liberals and other undesirables from re-electing a Democrat. Pelosi; Rangel; Dodd; Reid; potentially even Fauxcahontas Warren.
You have to pick up the winnable games to build a season. It’s nice to cheer for Bambi, versus Godzilla: but odds are, Godzilla’s going to be wearing Bambi on his heel one way or the other.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
Todd was supporting the things Conservatives believe in so I could hardly believe the party abandoned him so quickly.
As human beings, we don’t always apply the right wording, but that’s hardly unforgivable. I supported him and continue to do so. I was so disappointed at the party’s reaction.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
The RNC is high on my S*IT list! They will never get another cent from me. The fact that they are boycotting money from Akin is incredible!
They are choking on a gnat! We need to get Harry Reid out of the Majority Leader role, and get someone, anyone in there. Helping McCaskill is the last thing the RNC should be doing!
September 29th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Gingrich is a TRUE Republican.Those leading our party and our 2 leaders in Congress are not doing a job for US.
If we re-take the Senate and keep the house ;
We need new leaders . The 2 we have had had their chance.
If Odingbat wins It won’t matter much ,will it ?????
September 29th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Michelle, I love it. The nuts have come out in full force today. It is sad, but reading their ramblings fully explains why Obama is still running neck and neck to a guy dumber than Palin.
Ruth,SM
September 29th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Wow. What to do….what. To. Do.
Todd Akin is an idiot. That is indisputable, but I’d rather see Missouri send him to DC, noses held tightly, than let Claire McC stay on.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
When Mr.Akin wins in Nov.,the GOP will make a beeline to his office and Mr.Akin will be in the driver’s seat.
The dems will have to shut their pie holes about our war on women. The women don’t mind.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
Once again we see the republican establishment cower to the liberal democrats and lying media. Thank you Todd Akin for having the guts to continue the fight for us. You have the nations support againt the Obama suck up McCaskill.
September 29th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
I agree Ruth,SM. This lot is bat-shit-crazy!.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:04 pm
I remember when Congress changed all the media rules to allow Fox to form. It’s not that long ago that they did this to create a GOP friendly network. A dream of Nixon who wanted have greater control of the message. To fight liberalism he believed he saw in the big three netowrks.
They’ve never hid their intentions to sway public opinion to a GOP friendly point of view.
It’s just not truthful and honest. But then Fox took that question to the Supreme Court which decided that they didn’t have to tell the truth.

Weight Loss in a Bottle?
Until this past July, it had been more than a decade since the FDA had approved a weight-loss drug.
Previous attempts to treat obesity with a medication haven’t ended so well. Remember “fen-phen” (fenfluramine/phentermine)?
It was pulled off the market in 1997, as was dexfenfluramine (Redux), because both were associated with heart problems.
Sibutramine faced the same fate in 2010. And the promising drug rimonabant was never approved in the US because it was linked to suicide.
The only other drug on the market right now that’s approved for weight control is orlistat (Xenical, alli), which blocks a fat-digesting enzyme in the intestine.
To treat obese patients, doctors have mainly turned to surgeries that alter stomach anatomy so fewer calories can be absorbed. But those operations can have serious side effects, including death. And they don’t always lead to long-term weight loss.
So the recent news that the FDA has approved two new weight-loss drugs got a lot of attention. Could these be the solution to America’s growing problem with….well, growing?
I checked in with a top obesity researcher to discuss these new drugs…
NOT MAGIC BULLETS
Belviq and Qsymia are the newly approved medications. Both are approved only for obese adults (a BMI of 30 or higher) or very overweight adults (a BMI of 27 or higher) who also have another condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or type 2 diabetes. Each drug must be used in combination with a low-calorie diet and exercise plan.
But they work differently.
Belviq (lorcaserin) helps suppress appetite by activating a part of the brain called the serotonin 2C receptor. In clinical trials that lasted one to two years and included almost 8,000 people, those taking Belviq lost about 3% to 4% more weight, on average, than those taking a placebo.
Qsymia is a combination of an appetite suppressant (phentermine) and an antiseizure and migraine medication called topimirate.
In studies that lasted up to one year and included nearly 3,700 people, those on Qsymia lost about 7% to 9% more weight, on average, than a placebo group.
Though neither drug was shown to harm the heart, neither is safe for pregnant women, and both have many potential side effects, including memory and attention problems, constipation, dry mouth and dizziness.
WORTH A SHOT?
Should those who are eligible consider taking one of these drugs? If so, which is better?
“Qsymia is more effective than Belviq, but it’s also more toxic,” said David Katz, MD, MPH, founding director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center in Derby, Connecticut.
“For example, the anti-epileptic drug in Qsymia acts directly on brain cells and is associated with suicidal thoughts.” So one isn’t clearly better than the other.
How do these two compare with the other approved prescription weight-loss drug that’s on the market, orlistat?
Serious side effects also come into play with orlistat, said Dr. Katz, including anal leakage, but Belviq and Qysmia are generally more effective at reducing weight.
Another advantage that the two new drugs have over orlistat is that they work best with a low-fat diet. Orlistat, on the other hand, doesn’t work well with a low-fat diet.
But all in all, Dr. Katz is not overly impressed by any of the drugs. “Their effects are modest, and many people will stop using them because of side effects,” he said.
Rather than prescribing drugs or performing surgery, teaching patients new lifestyle habits that help them consume fewer calories and exercise more is still the best solution, he added.
Dr. Katz would prescribe one of these drugs only rarely. “It depends on what you’ve tried before and what the stakes are of not fixing the problem,” he said.
“Among certain patients, I might use one temporarily to pull them back from the brink and jump-start weight loss while teaching them life skills that can eventually take over.”
Neither new drug is available yet—Qsymia is expected on the market in late 2012 and Belviq in early 2013. Prices aren’t known.
If you’re obese or overweight with a related health condition, ask your doctor whether one of these new drugs might help. But remember that neither is a panacea!

If Obama wins the next term, America will become a country where poverty is enabled by government dependency; we will become a country where we are bullied by radical Muslims & the hostile Arab nations instead of defending our own.
If Romney wins, we will become a country where poverty can be eradicated by opportunity, where we don’t bow down to terrorists.
In an Obama future, we will still be a great country, but we will be an entirely different country. We won’t be the U.S., we will be Greece or France.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:02 am
I’ll bet $10,000 dollars Mittens does his annoyingly fake uppity rich white boy laugh when President Obama SLAMS him.
You can take that to the Bain!
September 30th, 2012 at 1:07 am
I wrote this to say, I don’t believe the Presidential Debates will be a slam dunk for President Obama — IF Romney “keeps it real.” And if Romney does manage to “keep it real,” people will have a choice.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:08 am
The mirror reflection of Mitt would have a better chance in beating Obama than the real Mitt. I am voting absentee next week(if not sooner) and I am voting for Obama because he is the only man who can bring America back from the abyss.
Romney/Ryan would send us back to the Bush years and I don’t think this country wants to go back to the days of nothingness and laziness.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:10 am
I don’t watch football but I heard even Republicans are demanded the return of union employees. Hahaaaa!!!
September 30th, 2012 at 1:46 am
One of the dangers of putting out phony polls that try to convince people that Obama will win in November is that this will cause further economic decline as employers prepare for another 4 years of Obama.
Virtually all optimism in the business sector today is based on the belief that Romney will assume office next year. Convincing people that Obama will win in November will bring bad economic news which will, ironically lead to a Romney win.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:48 am
The Republican Party seems to be losing 10,000 votes per day now…..the more the truth comes out about the Republican Party and what it stands for. And, it is ONLY for the POWER of the ONE PERCENT of all Americans.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:48 am
All of you dem’s keep believing the polls! You are in for a sad awakening! The only pollster who is all most dead on is Rasmussen! Rasmussen has it as within the margin of error.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:49 am
Personally I think that regardless of whether Romney would do a better job- he does not seem to care about small people. it is like an employee who could be technically competent but has not loyalty to the company , or no values etc.
With the 47% tape he has proven beyond doubt to others what those of us in MA know about him – and why he is 30 points behind Obama.
All he has is ambition and will not spend a sleepless night worrying about the man on the street. Given a chance he will send his job to China if that will add to teh bottom line.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:50 am
So this is the Obama strategy now. Never mind that BO put the economy in the toilet. He is nicer than Romney? Aside from being silly, that line of argument is false.
Obama is a high-mediocre non-entity that has proven that he cannot do the job he wants to be re-hired for. Aside from that, he is a liar who cares nothing about unemployed Americans.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:52 am
This unemployed African American female is rooting for Romney. But I cannot believe that with all the vitriol the GOP has for Obama, they couldn’t construct a more coherent and compelling campaign!
I hope the polls are wrong. It seems that all Romney has to do is cite the unemployment statistics and the business survey which shows that only 29% of businesses are planning to hire in the next six because of the uncertainty, taxes and regulation!
Instead Romney is responding to everything Obama says, making his message seem highly fragmented and incredulous.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:52 am
Doug, Uh, Who put the economy in the toilet???
September 30th, 2012 at 1:53 am
That’s funny, Doug, you claim President Obama put the economy in the toilet. It was President Bush who did that and it is his failed policies that Romney wants to emulate.
And now, the economy has recovered enough that there is now a net gain of jobs under President Obama, despite all of the Republican efforts to the contrary.
So, take your silly arguments elsewhere as you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:54 am
Van, That’s not all he has to do. Talking sense would be primary. Connecting with regular people, necessary. I could go on, but why?
September 30th, 2012 at 1:56 am
Ummm… did anyone notice the polls with Obama ahead in Ohio assume D+9 turnout? Even 2008 was only D+7. And in 2010, that dropped to D+0. That corresponds perfectly with voter enthusiasm in those years. 2008?
20 point enthusiasm advantage for Dems, with a +7 result. 2012? Dead even enthusiasm, with a dead even turn out.
So where is 2012? There’s now a 20 point enthusiasm advantage with Republicans. Logically, Republicans should swing the election their way.
The current polls which equal or even increase the Democrat turnout numbers are assuming that 2008 was the tip of a demographic ice berg: that the minority votes were collectively swamping the traditional white vote.
Not only is that a very racist viewpoint, it’s wrong statistically. There is a perfect correlation between enthusiasm and turn out. In an electorate split 50/50, turn out rules.
Watch the polls as they narrow away from absurd skews to a more standard model: they’ll do that as the election nears. And unfortunately for Michelle cheerleaders: they’ll show Romney ahead.
September 30th, 2012 at 1:56 am
Things won’t get any better for Romney, especially now that Romney has revealed that he plans to raise taxes for middle class Americans in order to pay for tax cuts for his wealthy friends and benefactors!
September 30th, 2012 at 1:58 am
All this education about polls is nonsense. Fox was towing your line until a Fox news poll showed the same thing. Romney is down, and it has nothing to do with polls.
If he believes its a conspiracy , instead of trying to turn his campaign around he will lose by a landslide.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:00 am
Michelle, they stole the vote in 2004 in Ohio. Rember Kerry in Ohio, it is still hard to reconcile the results when exit polls had him well ahead of Bush in ’04.
There was a Democratic campaign HQ in our building then and they were getting reports all day from Ohio that Kerry was winning handsomely an he somehow lost the state.
Of course, that was with the new Diebold voting machines that has so many problems. I am keeping fingers crossed that those same “problems” don’t go against Obama.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:02 am
As much as I like the polls, I do not like the complacency that it potentially causes. With the break out of the Dems, and showing strong Obama leads, the work still needs to be done to mobilize, organize, get out the vote (especially early voting and absentee ballots), only after Nov 6 is our work done.
Obama/Biden 2012.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:04 am
Maybe Romney is resolutely committed to creating new jobs — in China. That’s the Bain legacy people need to remember.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:05 am
Even the Columbus Dispatch … Ohio’s Most Republican Newspaper (has not endorsed a Democrat for President since Woodrow Wilson in 1916 … 96 years more or less) … even the Dispatch runs a poll showing Obama with a strong lead in Ohio.
The Dispatch has started to run articles critical of Romney and Mandel, as it attempts to tack a little toward the center to reflect the prevailing wisdom that it wants to have SOME influence with politicians and losing politicians are not worth influencing.
Other than the coalfields, Romney is going to be a big loser in Ohio and even his supporters there recognize his weakness and are starting to shun him.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:07 am
Did you see where the coal miners who were supposedly supporting Romney were told they had to be at the rally on their own or risk losing their jobs in a non-union company. How many of them will really vote for him?
September 30th, 2012 at 2:07 am
You are 100% correct of course. The Enquirer certainly is Very Republican and would no doubt be offended by the suggestion that the Dispatch is more Republican.
Cincinnati is almost in Northern Kentucky (its airport is) and only half an hour from southern Indiana … so the Enquirer has to pander to an even wider range of right wing Republicans than just the Taft machine. The Dispatch has no such excuse.
September 30th, 2012 at 2:10 am
In his 47% video Romney addresses the women of the View as “sharp-tongue women who are not conservative” and since there are five women:
Barbara, Whoopi, Joy, Sherri and Elisabeth he must have meant that one is a conservative. Hey Ms. Hasselbeck, Romney says you’re not sharp-tongued. I wonder if he thinks you are dim witted.

Late last night, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Senate Bill 1172, a bill to protect young people from dangerous and disproved efforts designed to change their sexual orientation or gender expression that have proven to inflict great emotional harm, which we believe to be child abuse.
We are grateful to Gov. Brown for his leadership by standing with California’s children. LGBT youth will now be protected from a practice that has been proven to have drastically negative effects on their well-being, but also has been debunked as junk science by all major medical and mental health organizations.
Nearly 50,000 of you signed our petition urging the Governor to sign the bill. This outpouring of support showed Gov. Brown that we will not tolerate these harmful efforts. We, along with our friends at the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and Equality California (EQCA) will continue our fight against these practices.
This newly signed law is now a model for the country, and our hope is that other states will adopt it in short order to end this child abuse.
Sincerely,
Chad Griffin
President
