"If my circle of friends is any indication, a lot of people thought Romney got his clock cleaned, didn't like it at all, think the election's lost. I'm not kidding you."

That quote is from Rush Limbaugh.

Happy Quacking Wednesday!
Don't celebrate too soon RLE
I see on CNN this morning that on Sept 11 embasy attack that emails were recieved from the attackers and the US officials have had the information.
I'd say the One is going to be handed his butt due to his administrations lack of leadership.

Rush the gush says it's over the election is lost.
The Cons know that Rush is never wrong...as he's stated on many occasions.

Any way Grace,just yanking your chain a bit because at the end of the day, I don't care about the U-All election

On Nov 6 I plan to watch re-runs of Pawn Stars,American Picker and The Big Bang Theory or alternatively reading a book on the Joys Of Watching Paint Dry. All of which will be more exciting and probably more important

Oldie Goldie,

My point with Gitmo wasn't that the should close it. My point was that Obama promised to close it, signed and executive order to close it, and still with the Democrat Majority in the Upper and Lower House when he was first elected still didn't close it.

He can't even keep the promises he makes as president.

Oh wonder what he has on him this time?
flyhawk25 10/24/2012 9:04:08 AM Report

RW...your point about Gitmo is well made.
It was the Democratic weenies in the house and senate who caved on President Obama's proposal. They were reflecting the wishes of their constituents.
And they still got hammered in the election.
In my view too many Americans just give lip service to the rule of law and justice for all - and then buy another gun and join the NRA out of paranoia.
The country is in deep trouble because the people are in deep trouble.

I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It's interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough love
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!

Great song from another Geordie.

Well I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlights
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
Flying away from you
Look out world take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

The Benghazi massacre cover up is unraveling for the O at a most inopportune time.

The lefty media is reporting the WH and OPUS knew in real time about the terrorist attack that O denied ever happened. He lied about it even a week later when he was hiding behind the skirts on the View.

He also blamed a film and then apologized for the film at the UN and denied it was a terrorist attack.
He cant hide anymore from this one, even behind Hilliary's ample skirt and string of pearls.

By the way, didn't a certain lefty Prez get impeached because of lying to the American people a few years ago? I think there was a skirt, or a dress involved in that one too...

Romney is supportive of water boarding as a regular torture to get information from suspected terrorists and/or criminals. So where do you think that Romney will put these suspects so he can get them tortured ? Guantanamo, of course.

Gloria Allred will be making public (today hopefully) that Romney lied under oath.

Romney allegedly lied under oath about the value of Staples to prevent Stemberg's wife from walking away with her fair share.

Romney told the court that Staples — a company Bain Capital had invested in early on — was "overvalued," and referred to Stemberg as a "dreamer."

"Partly as a result of Romney's testimony, Maureen got relatively little in the divorce, but we're told just weeks after the divorce ended, Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune. Short story — Romney allegedly lied to help his friend and screw the friend's wife over."
Right Winger 10/24/2012 1:16:17 PM Report

If someone says a stock is overvalued how is that lying. If I own a stock and think its overvalued, that is when I sell it. When I see a stock that is undervalued, I buy it.
bluesslinger 10/24/2012 1:20:57 PM Report

Robert Jones, an attorney at the Boston law firm of Ropes & Gray, who is representing Romney in this matter told TIME in a statement, “This is a decades-old divorce case in which Mitt Romney provided testimony as to the value of a company. He has no objection to letting the public see that testimony.”

Tough moral question - what is worse ...getting an intern to to engage in a sex act and denying it ...or creating Watergate and lying about it?
Take your time.
Part 2 - do you believe the Bush presidential win was legitimate or rigged?
Take more time.
Part 3 - do you believe the latest poll by Cable 6 News in Terra Haute - of 1000 people in South Possum Trot Indiana outside a gun show - that had Romney leading 88% to 12% is empirically accurate?
Part 4 - do you believe in Santa Claus?
I'll wait. 1000 is a big number to cypher.
TankGirl 10/24/2012 2:08:41 PM Report

Right Winger - when you are dividing assets in a divorce, you can't declare that something is "overvalued" to prevent the other half from getting their fair share. This isn't a discussion on which stocks to invest in. It's a dividing of assets where Romney helped lie under oath so he and the ex husband could walk with more than their share.
shakespeare 10/24/2012 2:16:07 PM Report

I have a feeling that any last minute tactical mudslinging from either party will backfire, unless we find that Mitt's sons Tagg, Biff, Wuff and Hogg are really Bill's.
Right Winger 10/24/2012 2:25:06 PM Report

Don't see how that is lying under oath. If the stock is publicly traded, and the husband owned the stock its value would be found in the newspaper. If Romney said it was overvalued, that is not lying, that is an opinion. The day he made that statement, her lawyer could have gone to the paper and calculated its worth and asked for half on that day. This might have been for future payouts if the company were sold, but at the time Romney may have felt it was overvalued. Gloria (probably has a hammer and sikle tattoo) Allred is reaching on this.

As is Trump by the way.
