Well…I am just appalled at the stupidity or the willful lying about the auto industry that came out of ole Mitt’s campaign yesterday….if it’s stupidity, then ole Mitt is not the sharp businessman that he purports to be, and if it’s lying…yeah, I know, he lies all the time so what is the big deal? Yesterday, in a speech in Ohio, ole Mitt came on stage and attacked Obama by saying that Chrysler is going to move all Jeep production to China because of too much regulation, yadda, yadda….but in the report that he quoted for his information, it was clear that Chrysler said no such thing…they said they were going to look at restarting Jeep production in China for the Chinese market….and they came out with a letter to ole Mitt saying that it was just an overheated fantasy that they were moving any production…and then stated they were ADDING 1,100 jobs in Detroit…something that ole Mitt didn’t want to hear since those jobs are a direct result of the auto bailout that he vehemently opposed. As always, ole Mitt didn’t think about the workers in those plants in Toledo that he said were closing…he didn’t think about the shock that would come from losing everything…he only thought of them as a prop for his campaign and as a way to get votes…what an amoral piece of crap ole Mitt is…geez…

The no values party…
Well…I find the contortions that ole Mitt is doing to try to make himself palatable to the general public really laughable…or, I would if the shape-shifting wasn’t such a dangerous thing….what message does it send to the world and the bad actors in it on foreign policy? If they just wait long enough, that a new policy that they will like is tried? This kind of crap just emphasizes the cynicism that runs rampant through today’s modern repub party…that even the tea partiers and their rigidity on their supposed “American Values” don’t have one word to say when ole Mitt abandons the party’s principles and platform to try to get votes…these supposed values must not mean too much to them…at least not as much as power does, the power to imposed their views on the entire country when all the polls show we don’t want what they are selling. The lack of any core values combined with the embracing of public lying is the biggest threat to this country that we face…geez…
Another inconvenient fact for the Republicans…
Well…with the new attack on Obama on the oil lease nonsense, they are again lying through their teeth as I explained a couple of days ago, but the new, inconvenient fact that the repubs don’t want to talk about is the trend in domestic oil and gas production. Over the past four years (you remember those years of the over regulatin’, socialist president) oil and gas production in the US has soared and is on pace to rise another 7% this year…if these trends continue, the US will be the largest producer of oil in the world in just a couple of years…surpassing even Saudi Arabia. So, either the regulations didn’t have any effect on rising production or they actually spurred more oil and gas production…either one just blows apart another lie by the repubs…maybe the truth will win…at least it looks like it has gotten up off the canvas and is ready to go a couple more rounds…
Let’s climb down from the ledge….
Well…there has been much consternation from the good guys that Obama has not been able to pull away in the polls with Romney being exposed for the shallow idiot that he is…and plenty of us have been on the ledge, ready to jump…but there was a good article that just came across Twitter from the WAPO today that does the right math, the electoral math, not the popular vote math the repubs are pushing. In the popular vote, ole Mitt has been crowing that all he needs to win is 50.1% of the vote to become president, again exposing that he is just not too bright…when we look at the electoral math and map… even with being tied, Obama has almost 240 votes that are essentially locked in of the 270 needed for election while ole Mitt has around 190…of the 110 left, Obama only needs to win 30 more but ole Mitt needs around 80 to get the job done…basically, he would have to run the table and take all of the remaining votes, something that does not look possible with the leads that Obama has in many of those states. So, climb down from the ledges folks, it still looks good for the good guys and with today’s new rape controversy sparked by another stupid repub…it will look even better tomorrow…especially since ole Mitt just did and ad for this idiot. Geez…
No contest…
Well…even though I was out for quite a while last night, I did get the chance to watch a good portion of the debate last night…I wonder if I should even call it a debate? I mean, Obama just mopped the floor with ole Mitt and exposed him for the know nothing hack politician that he is. I am glad that Obama finally pointed out to the public how ole Mitt’s stands change form day to day, not a good thing for a president, especially in a dangerous world…can you imagine ole Mitt going up against any of the bad guys in the world? After watching the gerbil on meth look he had again last night with the smirks, the blank stare, and the excessive eye blinking, it looked like he was having a stroke as he tried to regurgitate the standard talking point nonsense. The most striking thing for me was the fact that he agreed with almost everything that Obama has been doing in foreign policy…so why should anyone vote for ole Mitt? I just think there is no depth there….geez,,,
I think my brain has stopped working…
Well…I’m not sure what the heck the problem is with me lately, but I have been having real problems getting to these and having something to say…but, I have been blocked before and I’m sure I will be again…so, let’s go…I just love the word mendacity and I have been getting to use it a lot lately when I have been describing the repubs and their actions…from voter suppression to just bald faced lies in the debates across the country, I have never seen a party that is so far distanced from the truth…the latest example comes from the senate debate in Montana where the repub candidate denied vehemently that he voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program….the only problem was that he did…and it was in the congressional record…but with these guys, it just doesn’t matter, they just move on and their supporters don’t seem to mind they are being lied to….maybe it’s just not my brain that has stopped working…maybe everyone’s has…geez…
A short comparison..
Well…there are so many things that people need to remember for the election in three weeks…I’ll list a few of them here..first what party wants to give more tax cuts to the rich and pay for them by taxing the middle class? Yep, you guessed it, the repubs…second, who wants to take away a woman’s right to control her body and her healthcare? Yay…you got two right, the repubs, of course…Who is the party that is doing it’s best to make sure your neighbors and mine can’t vote? Three for three, the repubs…the last one is just a general thing…who are the people who lie like rugs every time the open their mouths? That’s 100%…the repubs again…how can this election even be close? Geez….
The true republicans…
Well…just read of one of the most shameful things I’ve heard in a long time that exposes the true nature of today’s republican…I’m sure you know of the fake photo op where Paul Ryan forced his way into a St. Vincent DePaul’s homeless shelter and washed clean dishes to make it appear that he gives a damn about the poor…never mind that he has never visited one in his own district and has proposed a budget that would cut services to the poor, and now we have the thugs and troglodytes in the repub party blaming the shelter for the bad press that ole Ryan got….and going so far as withdrawing donations that the shelter depends on to survive and making threatening phone calls to the staff there…this is it folks, the clearest picture of what a country run by the repubs would look like…a vicious, winner take all society devoid of morals where the poor are ignored or pilloried for being poor…after all it’s their fault they are not rich…what a bunch of crap….geez…
One last thing…I’m sure that ole Paul can read the papers and listen to the news and knows what is going on and the pain is being caused by his actions…it’s time for him to step up and stop this nonsense, to tell his supporters that St. Vincents is doing good work in the community and to increase their donations…but that sound you hear is the silence of an amoral coward….
Is Romney violating the law?
Well…I know I’ve been doing a bunch of these today but a new revelation on ole Mitt’s sketchiness surfaced on Twitter and I thought I’d write a short one about it. As you probably already know, there has been an epidemic of repub business owners telling their employees that they should vote for ole Mitt with dire consequences if they don’t, with one idiot in Florida telling his thousand employees that if Obama wins he is going to close the business and fire everyone. Ole Mitt was caught talking to donors and giving them the same advice, in direct violation of the 1965 voting rights act….so, he is either too stupid to understand that you can’t intimidate people to vote for you or he just doesn’t care…after all, laws don’t mean much to the repubs unless they can use them for their own benefit…geez…
A short one on oil leases…
Well…I just wanted to do a short one on the crap about oil and gas leases that ole Mitt tried to hit Obama with last night saying that the number of leases have gone down under Obama…but, he conveniently ignored the fact that the oil companies are sitting on over 7,000 leases right now that they certainly don’t plan on using any time soon…you can issue a million leases but if the oil companies like the supply and price the way it is (which they do), they will never do anything (like bringing more supply to market that will lower prices) to upset that balance that they now possess. The other fact that exists here that ole Mitt conveniently ignores is that any new supply can be sold into the world market to go to China or anywhere else…just like the tar sands oil that will come through the Keystone pipeline and it will have no effect on our energy independence. Unless, of course, ole Mitt would pass a law saying that any new supply must stay in North America…which he would never be allowed to do by his oil company masters…and, if by some miracle he grew a spine and passed such a law, the oil companies would just stop drilling here to maintain low supplies and high prices in their largest market. I know ole Mitt doesn’t show that he understands economics at all…but I learned this stuff in Econ 101 many years ago and still remember it…maybe he could go back to Harvard for some remedial classes? Geez…
