In the process of defending Mitt Romney's campaign against a powerful Priorities USA Action campaign ad today, Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul unintentionally validated the Affordable Care Act... and conservatives are fuming about it. One conservative even said this is the moment when Mitt Romney lost the election. Watch it.
I agree the voter suppression is not being covered enough by the media......in my opinion voter suppression is the real voter fraud.........and it should be criminal with severe punishment for elected officials who strategically disenfranchise voters by throwing out obstacles that make it more difficult to vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope Ed talks about the fact that early voting in republican districts is longer than in democratic districts in Ohio. This absolutely STINKS. There must be something that can be done. Rachel called them out on her show tonight. Ed and the rest of the progressive personalities need to call out the GOP in Ohio and all the other states in which the conservatives are playing dirty and possibly illegally. Philosophy of the GOP: if you cannot win illegally, do whatever it takes to win. Don't worry about the legality of the actions.

Corporations Are People My Friend???????????
Mitt Romney was asked this: If Romney were to invest in a company that touted its management skills and "fiscal know-how," would he not want to see five years' worth of that company's financials?
Mitt's Answer: "I'm not a business"................but Mitt did you forget that Corporations Are People My Friend???????????......so which is it Mitt??.......corporations are or are not people?????

I enjoyed watching Anne Coulter shreiking at Hannity about this. What a show. Her little adams apple was bobbing up and down and Hannity was all like whoa, you really are a meanie aren't you. Old Sean was looking like he was just waterboarded, oh yeah, that's right, he never did live up to that promise, did he?
TAX THE RICH, and forget about waterboarding, Sean. Having to listen to Coulter scream at you is toture enough.

I know that companies are using people in part time jobs that should be full 40 hour per week jobs. The reason for this is they dont have to give benefits of any type to the workers. Sears is one I know for sure does this, and the employees dont get health care, paid vacations, sick leave, and other normal 40 per week worker gets. Also had a Sears worker helping us and then he just said he had to leave and would try to find somebody to help us. The reason for this he would lose his 15 minute break and couldnt take it after finishing helping us. This is the new world of the 1% who will do anything and everything to make a bigger bottom line.
My daughter and son in law own there own business and they have about 35 people working for them. They have part timers who are students, housewifes, unemployed men who need work, and they also have full timers. They give all these people a chance to get into the group health insurance if they want, they make sure they get their breaks, but dont deny it if the person is busy with a customer and takes the break a few minutes later. They give part timers the same benefits as full timers.The people get sick leave, paid vacations, and other benefits, and at the end of the year they have a party and give bonus to all employees full timers and part timers,They are not 1%ers by a long shot and they remember what it was like when they were just workers and not the boss. The only thing that does bother them is that if they fire people for not doing their job or for flunking a drug test that they have to pay cobra for people who have broken major rules, and this I agree with as if you dont play by the rules you shouldnt benefit for breaking them...
The truely informed voter needs to keep going after the uninformed voter and show them how they will lose if they allow the radical right wing to take control of our country

We have a huge billboard in downtown Houston that I smile at every time I pass it. It is the Texas flag in the background and the message says: "Tell Rick Perry to stop messing with women's healthcare." Following the "don't mess with Texas" theme.
Incidentally, Perry has become the new global death squad. He has killed more people by lethal injection than any other state or country in the world.

Alan Grayson said on the floor of Congress that the Republikkkan health care plan was to die quickly. How psychic was he? He took a lot of flak over the statement but it was so true. The 1% will never look out for the "little people". Ann Romney said it--- "you people" I am surprised they did not catch her rolling her eyes with disdain. Tinkle down (or trickle down, as they like to say) has NEVER worked. There is too much greed in the top 1% to look after the rest of us.

The health care issue alone highlights the essence of Romney's phoniness. He was for it in Mass. now he's against it for the rest of the country. He's claiming he will repeal healthcare like a dog trying to please it's master. This guy is spineless, period. If you lose your job, you should lose all healthcare too? Some employers offer a Cobra or something else that is so expensive most people can't afford it because, well, they lost their JOB. How are you going to cough up $700, $800, $1000 or more a month? Or, you can get low premium plans that cover nothing, and have such high deductibiles, you can't afford that either. Healthcare is badly broken in this country, and the righties just can't let it go. The repub plan is screw you buddy, I've got mine.
The pubs could care less who dies because they aren't rich enough for coverage. Healthcare has just become another wedge issue for the myopic right. Guns, God, Gays, Healthcare, abortion. As long as they can keep their good soldiers marching to these issues, they can keep reaching into your wallet telling you what YOU need to sacrifice next.

The Great Karnack guesses that after Mr. Soptak lost his job and health insurance when Mitt and Bain closed GST steel company his wife continued to be employed for 2 years. Karnack believes that his wife was employed part-time w/o health insurance at a company the supplied GSTdirectly or indirectly and that her employer was left holding the financial bag and forced to close down after the court bankruptcy settlement let Mitt and Bain skate with $millions. Switzerland! Switzerland! Are there any investigative journalist out there that can confirm Karnack's vision?

In the normal world getting caught making up untrue facts & telling a lie is a bad thing.............In the Radical Republican world getting caught telling the truth through facts is a sin...............just ask Andrea Saul what it is like being a Republican who spoke the truth based on factual information...................they throw you under the bus!!!!!!!!!!
