I guess Dear Leader has every right to be worried about being the first president to be out-raised and outspent by his opponent. But let’s NEVER underestimate dumocrat chicanery, deceit, and outright theft when it comes to doing whatever it takes to win steal elections via voter fraud.
To those libtard losers, the ends justify the means. I mean, c’mon. How to you think that imbecile Al Franken ended up in the U.S. Senate? Or Christine Gregiore beat Dino Rossi to became the governor of Washington?
But that being said, the interesting thing to me is not that Romney raised more than Obama, but what an Obama hack/spokes-idiot named Ben LaBolt actually said after being told about the $100-million month:
“Mitt Romney is trying to distract from a week when he took contradictory positions on the freeloader penalty in the Obamacare Act and we learned more about his offshored finances in Switzerland, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.” (Note to Ben, it was not Romney who changed his position, it was Romney who corrected what one of his spokespeople mistakenly said). Anyway, back to my main point-
“FREELOADER PENALTY”???
Newsflash to Ben: Don’t you realize that the freeloaders, leeches, and parasites of America you seem to disdain are Obama’s and the rest of you dumocrats’ (and LGF’s, but I digress) core constituency? And that the “gimme more Obama money” crowd of lefty parasitic losers, along with the blacks, are the only group you can actually count on as dependable dumocrat votes every election (if they remember what day they’re supposed to vote)?
I wouldn’t doubt it if Je$$e Jerk$on, Al (Not-so) $harpton, and the rest of the libs’ race-baiting dumocrat poverty pimps would like to have a word with you for insulting their people.
And about Romney’s “offshored” finances, who cares? First of all, there’s no such word as “offshored”, and secondly, again, who the hell cares? My savings account at US Bank used to pay me a whopping .10% interest, yep, one tenth of one percent! And some saps only get half of that- .05%! Then I wised up and moved it to an IRA.
Tags: Mitt Romney, obama
When Romney is asked to provide more details about his finances, he should ALWAYS respond that he would be happy to do so just as soon as Obango releases his high school and college transcripts. That issue must be brought up whenever he is accused of hiding something.
The notion that the supreme court decision about Obamacare is somehow a liability to Romney is ridiculous. It was not his program, he did not vote for it, and whether or not it is a tax is immaterial.
That said, the GOP had much stronger candidates than Romney on this issue, ones who would be in a much stronger position to oppose this outrageous entitlement which will further bankrupt our nation.
Good piece and quite on-topic:
The Real-World Middle Class Tax Rate: 75%
The Left is so fond of “national conversations”, let’s have one on the REAL tax rates we’re paying. We can also have one about the REAl unemployment rate.
The contempt they feel for their core constituency is natural. After all, it takes a great deal of stupidity to still be for Obama, and Liberals consider themselves to be the smartest of the smart (ignore the basic contradiction here). They despise their supporters for being stupid enough to swallow the nonsense that democrats spew when running for office. I feel the same way about them.

I used to call lotteries “A tax on the stupid”.
Electing democrats takes that title by far.

Don’t forget unions, especially state employee unions and the DNC whom the unions kicked back some of the funds to. Rush Limbaugh has referred to the stimulus as a vast money laundering scheme. I have seen stats of the money spent versus actual jobs created, and it would have been vastly cheaper to just send those people who actually obtained a job, even though temporary a check.

If so, what he was either an outright lie, or a partial truth twisted to serve his ideological ends.
Sigh, but I am sure you and all of us here realize that.
I caught something the other day on France 24 where they were discussing Hollande’s plans.
He’s proposing to reduce what the government spends from 56% of GDP down to “only” 53%.
Think about that for a moment…

Do they still have that stupid website up where you could see all the great things they were doing with the money, sorted by Congressional district (some of which were non-existent)?
I remember one project they listed in New Mexico that involved an interchange on I-25 north of Albuquerque. According to that site, it was supposed to create something like 28,000 jobs.
I guess they were going to build it using hand tools or something…

I remember when that wife of an engineer said her husband can’t find work. Obama was stunned and asked for her husband’s resume. He still hasn’t found work.
OT, but a funny, true story:
Before Dawn this morning, I was out on my lawn setting the sprinkler as is my wont during this string of 102+ days we’re having. A woman walked by the house and I smiled and nodded in a neighborly fashion. She proceeded to upbraid me for my water usage and literally blamed “selfish people like me” for failing crops around here and wildfires out west.
I explained that, in this part of the country (Louisville KY), water is a very plentiful resource and the failing crops are due to a lack of rain -- farmers generally don’t have manual irrigation systems and it may well be cost prohibitive even if they did. As to the West’s dearth of water, I said “you know, of course, we don’t pipe water across the country and our local water situation has no impact whatsoever on the West”
Her reply was “you’re clearly one of those people who make up your own facts to cover up you’re irresponsibility” and, on that, she walked away.
No, I didn’t hose her down though it was tempting as hell.
@ MacDuff:
It only stayed at 8.2% because they dropped people from the unemployment rolls.
@ Calo:
Green Energy is the biggest scam to come along since Ponzi was a kid. It is at best just a way for Obama cronies to skim millions from the public coffers. I think it is also designed to leave us bankrupt of power as well. They want electricity to be expensive and rare.

When I bought mine in 2006, I was commuting a long distance daily by myself in heavy traffic. Getting around 50mpg was a selling point. Also at that time Toyota had been putting a heavier amount of enginering into the Prius and it showed when comparing it against other cars in it’s line-up.
I have 82K on mine, and it has been a pretty good car, so far.
Maryland has a pretty moderate climate. I would look again if I lived somewhere much hotter. When I lived in Dallas I found my car batteries did not last very long due to the heat. I would also look at it again if I lived somewhere averaging very cold. I noticed a drop off in my miles per gallon when it was very cold here.

A better question is how much of our tax money is going to al Qaeda so that some of it can be skimmed off and kicked back to Obama’s campaign coffers?

If it was just Obama it could be undone. But the GOP also backs the creation of an Islamic state in Syria. Both parties are guilty here.
