Romney spoke in front of the NAACP this morning (I give him props for that), and told them he would repeal Obamacare. How well did that go over? About like you would expect… In truth, Romney knew that saying that would generate boos, which will help him with his (racist) base. That's why he said it.
Quotes From The Romney Fundraiser Held In The Hamptons
The multi-millionaire Republican — dodging questions about his controversial shell corporation in Bermuda, hidden cash in the Caymans, and inexplicable Swiss bank account — thought it'd be a good idea to spend the day in the Hamptons, attending several posh fundraisers with the hyper-elite, including an event at David Koch's home. Romney may be avoiding questions, but his donors aren't. … Read More
Unseemly and Disgusting
The Romeny camp's response: “The Obama campaign’s latest unfounded character assault on Mitt Romney is unseemly and disgusting. Mitt Romney had a successful career in the private sector, pays every dime of taxes he owes, has given generously to charitable organizations, and served numerous causes greater than himself,” said spokeswoman Andrea Saul. “Barack Obama has become what he once ran … Read More
They Say You Can’t Get Re-Elected If Unemployment Rates > 8%
Obama's had a couple of good weeks with the immigration issue, and the Supreme Court uphold of the ACA. And Romney's team has been playing those issues badly. But today came the jobs numbers for last month. The U.S. economy added 80,000 jobs in June, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 8.2%. The number was below economists’ expectations. April’s … Read More
WSJ Rips Into Romney
They don't like Romney's flip-flopping and vagueness over whether the mandate is or isn't a tax, but they also hit upon a deeper problem: Perhaps Mr. Romney is slowly figuring this out, because in a July 4 interview he stated himself that the penalty now is a “tax” after all. But he offered no elaboration, and so the campaign looks … Read More

Something Republicans Would Never Do
Obama shuts down a crowd of people booing Romney, saying that "Romney is a patriotic American."
I Love Soledad
The Romney campaign thinks they can talk about immigration by not talking about it. Soledad O’Brien isn’t buying what this guy is selling. This is typical of the Romney campaign — don't answer, don't stick your neck out, don't say what you would do for president.
Romney Responds To The Immigration Ruling
Mitt Romney's only comment on today's Supreme Court ruling against SB1070 is this written statement released a short time ago: “Today's decision underscores the need for a President who will lead on this critical issue and work in a bipartisan fashion to pursue a national immigration strategy. President Obama has failed to provide any leadership on immigration. This represents yet another broken … Read More
All You Need To Know About Romney
So both Presidential candidates are speaking before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, a very important Latino group if you want to woo crucial Latino voters. Obama, of course, brought immigration issues to the forefront earlier this week, by making an executive decision (i.e., no Congressional approval required) not to enforce deportation laws against immigrants who came to … Read More
Quote Of The Day And Maybe The Dumbest Thing Ever Said
So "Joe the Plumber", who is neither named Joe (his name is Samuel Wurzelbacher), nor an actual plumber, is running for Congress in the Ohio 9th District. He made some wave (well, laughs) a few days ago when he came out with a campaign ad whoing him shooting vegetables and tauting his Second Amendment rights, saying that Hitler disarmed the Jews, and … Read More
The GOP Tax Plan
Tax breaks for the wealthy; greater tax burdens for the lower and middle class. And EXPLODE the deficit. Why isn't that "class warfare"? WaPo: The report, prepared by Senate Democrats and reviewed by nonpartisan tax experts, marks the first attempt to quantify the trade-offs inherent in the GOP tax package, which would replace the current tax structure with two brackets — … Read More
Obama Ahead Of The Immigration Curve
Last week, Obama announced an amnesty of sorts (although he took pains not to call it that) when it comes to immigration. Essentially, he made an executive decision (one he can make without Congress) not to go after "illegal" aliens who came to this country at a very young age, and have stayed here, grown up, paid taxes, served in … Read More
Mitt Romney’s Secret Plans To Fix Everything
Mitt Romney admitted that he is being vague about his plans for sweeping cuts to federal programs. Why? Because he feels that if he laid all his plans out, he would lose the election. One of the things I found in a short campaign against Ted Kennedy was that when I said, for instance, that I wanted to eliminate the … Read More
