DAS Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Take a deep breath. Smell that? It's desperation from the Obama camp. "What an awesome idea - I can't wait to sign up!" - said no one, ever. I heard people are NOT signing up in droves! lulz http://www.barackoba...-event-registry I feel a little nauseous seeing this. Ask your friends and family to give a rich politician more money to run attack adds instead of gifts. I feel sorry for the kids of the three people in the country who might think this is a good idea who get nothing for their birthdays this year. On the up side it will reduce the amount of dumb voters in the next generation because the guy who celebrates his anniversary by giving Obama money instead of using it to do something for his wife will never get laid again.

planted Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 There is an old saying about sticking with the devil you know. Trouble is, I am from Massachusetts.

TypeO Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 From Wikipedia: Bowles was appointed in 2010 to co-chair President Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform with Alan K. Simpson. The commission deadlocked, and the co-chairs' report on a policy for budget deficit reduction was not adopted by the Obama administration. This is Obama's own guy speaking in support of how sensible the "dreaded" Ryan budget is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 2:13 - Obama: "As I said before, this is an entirely legitimate proposal. There is a political vulnerability to doing anything that tinkers with Medicare. And that's probably the biggest savings that are obtained through Paul's plan. And I raise that, not because we shouldnt have a serious discussion about it; I raise that because we're not going to be able to do anything about any of these entitlements if what we do is characterize whatever proposals are put out there as 'Well, you know, that's the other party being irresponsible... the other party is trying to hurt our senior citizens.' That's why I say: if we're going to frame these in the way that allow us to solve them, then we can't start off by figuring out a) who is to blame; how can we make the American people afraid of the other side. And unfortunately that's how our politics works right now." Do tell, Mr. President. It's certainly how YOUR politics work right now, now that Paul Ryan has been nominated as running mate for Romney. NOW his plan is RADICAL and DANGEROUS and threatens senior citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TypeO Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Poor MSM. Trying SO hard. They're dutifully going through the motions. There was a time when an obvious attempt to smear like this would have gotten a little traction. But that was before our current Inhaler-In-Chief admitted to "doing a little blow". Now we're supposed to care that Romney drank some fruit smoothies at a juice bar owned by a convicted felon? AP has vetted this juice shop owner more thoroughly in a couple hours than they did for Obama in the entire '08 campaign. http://m.apnews.com/...ntguid=npofzT24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These HD TVs are causing the media a lot of problems! Seems Soledad O'Brien of CNN - while substitute-hosting Anderson Cooper's show - claimed to be reading directly from a statement from Senator Ron Wyden's office, when in fact she was reading directly from a lefty attack blog. A camera operator happened to catch her "furiously flipping" through the pages, then quickly cut away. Looks like some camera operator will lose their job at CNN. Of course it's Soledad O'Brien who should be canned. What a hack. http://viralread.com...tack-ryan-plan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypeO Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Obama slamming Paul Ryan about a Farm bill that is being delayed.

Walter Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 10 Things to know about Paul Ryan 1. His economic plan would cost America 1 million jobs in the first year. Ryan's proposed budget would cripple the economy. He'd slash spending deeply, which would not only slow job growth, but shock the economy and cost 1 million of us our jobs in 2013 alone and kill more than 4 million jobs by the end of 2014.1 2. He'd kill Medicare. He'd replace Medicare with vouchers for retirees to purchase insurance, eliminating the guarantee of health care for seniors and putting them at the mercy of the private insurance industry. That could amount to a cost increase of more than $5,900 by 2050, leaving many seniors broke or without the health care they need. He'd also raise the age of eligibility to 67.2 3. He'd pickpocket the middle class to line the pockets of the rich. His tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse. He wants to cut taxes by $4.6 trillion over the next decade, but only for corporations and the rich, like giving families earning more than $1 million a year a $300,000 tax cut. And to pay for them, he'd raise taxes on middle- and lower-income households and butcher social service programs that help middle- and working-class Americans.3 4. He's an anti-choice extremist. Ryan co-sponsored an extremist anti-choice bill, nicknamed the 'Let Women Die Act,' that would have allowed hospitals to deny women emergency abortion care even if their lives were at risk. And he co-sponsored another bill that would criminalize some forms of birth control, all abortions, and in vitro fertilization.4 5. He'd dismantle Social Security. Ironically, Ryan used the Social Security Survivors benefit to help pay for college, but he wants to take that possibility away from future generations. He agrees with Rick Perry's view that Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" and he supported George W. Bush's disastrous proposal to privatize Social Security.5 6. He'd eliminate Pell grants for more than 1 million low-income students. His budget plan cuts the Pell Grant program by $200 billion, which could mean a loss of educational funding for 1 million low-income students.6 7. He'd give $40 billion in subsidies to Big Oil. His budget includes oil tax breaks worth $40 billion, while cutting "billions of dollars from investments to develop alternative fuels and clean energy technologies that would serve as substitutes for oil."7 8. He's another Koch-head politician. Not surprisingly, the billionaire oil-baron Koch brothers are some of Ryan's biggest political contributors. And their company, Koch industries, is Ryan's biggest energy-related donor. The company's PAC and affiliated individuals have given him $65,500 in donations.8 9. He opposes gay rights. Ryan has an abysmal voting record on gay rights. He's voted to ban adoption by gay couples, against same-sex marriage, and against repealing "don't ask, don't tell." He also voted against the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which President Obama signed into law in 2009.9 10. He thinks an "I got mine, who cares if you're okay" philosophy is admirable. For many years, Paul Ryan devoted himself to Ayn Rand's philosophy of selfishness as a virtue. It has shaped his entire ethic about whom he serves in public office. He even went as far as making his interns read her work.10 Sources: 1.
