“If the final week poll has Obama winning by ten in Ohio and Romney wins it, you got riots. If the polls tighten and they get real close, then I don’t–it was a legitimate question somebody asked because these people, if they’re told, these rabid leftists, if they are told this a slam dunk and it’s over, and Romney wins this thing, it could get bloody out there.”
–Rush Limbaugh, yesterday

Many give up looking?
… you can’t say the answer is that EVERY month it’s just workers giving up. The real answer: we’re not in the boomiest boom every, but jobs have been added consistently for a while now.
The last month for which we have final revised #s is March 2012, and per a 9/27/12 jobs report, average job creation for the year ending March 2012 is +194,000 a month — more than enough to yield steady drops in unemployment. Monthly reports since have been similar, with last month’s just revised upward.
I guess it’s back to peddling racial slurs about the President for Libertad, huh?

They’re in the tank for the GOP. Always have been, always will be. Check out my link for you above for a more objective analysis.
Bottom line: Things are getting better under Obama. Romney wants us to return to 2008.
http://www.cepr.net/index.php/…
trick of the extreme right, make you look at something else while you steal the country
Obama has overhauled the food safety system
Advanced women’s rights in the work place
Ended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) in our military
Stopped defending DOMA in court.
Passed the Hate Crimes bill.
Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court.
Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can’t afford it.
Expanded the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty [and rescissions] in health insurance.
Invested in clean energy.
Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly.
While Dodd-Frank bill was weak in many respects, it was still an extremely worthwhile start at re-regulating the financial sector.
He created a Elizabeth Warren’s dream agency: The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
He’s done a lot for veterans
He got help for people whose health was injured during the clean-up after the 9/11 attacks.

The problem with your list is it shows zero focus on jobs, which we know is accurate.
The President has failed to organically increase government tax revenue because his policies have deterred job creation and in many cases retarded basic efforts to create jobs.
keeps going down…of course.
You’re a knucklehead!
Coming from you, that is a complement.
… where Obama is a Kenyan Muslim, gas is $6, and thanks to Obama the economy has collapsed from the awesome state Bush left it in.
under Bush, and the turnaround and job gains under Obama? Thank you in advance.
I still can’t grab an image off the internet. Care to post those instrucions again. Many thanks!
I just returned from a week in CA. Gas is higher there then here in CO. I paid in the high $4 range. So fuck off.
$ 5.69 for a gallon of gas = over 6 dollars !
trillions in new tax cuts, more defense spending, plus I’ll balance the budget !
This is an article from the LA Times … its fairly well known to be left of center.
And certainly the Times is not talking about stations near Napa, The Pebble Beach COuntry Club or within the confines of Disneyland.
But speaking of Disneyland (and I own Disney stock), your world – Obama-Bidenville – is like Disneyland. Its faries & mystical dreams, its fantacyland.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/…
under Obama, the old GM went bankrupt, didn’t it ?
Then the federal govt stepped in and did a Bain Capital move, and gave the assets to the unions.
So, no, GM isn’t alive; it’s either a “zombie GM” back from the dead, or something other than the original GM.
The auto industry was in deep shit before the elections. A combination of weakining sales due to The Second Republican Great Depression, and way too many chiefs, and lots of old attitudes.
Obama did not pull a Bain. Not even close. Yes, many people holding stock lost money (All those overpaid job creators on Wall Street couldn’t see this coming?). Bain, by their own statement, is a harvester of companies. If they would have been able to raise enough capital to control GM, they WOULD have harvested it.
No, Obama and his team wrought close to miracles. The Cash for Clunkers was a bit of a start, but the total reorganization of GM was the ticket to success. Think about this turnaround in three years. Amazing.
Not a ghost/zombie GM by a long shot.
all wanted you to fuck off back when gas was down around $2.80.
Maybe someone should have told you sooner, but there’s absolutely no linkage whatsoever between the price of gasoline, and the fact that everyone you encounter soon wants you to fuck off . . .

As always, you refuse to do basic elementary school research. You’re incapable of learning anything. Are you off your meds?
I’m not going to do your work for you. Provide the link or GTFO.
http://www.energyalmanac.ca.go…
Oh wait, that must be the wrong link. It says the CA avg price for regular 2 days ago was $4.18.
Typical.
Wow! MSNBC is going to spin out of control today trying to knock down the news from the west coast.
http://seattletimes.com/text/2…
note from the same times article
Then Tiffany had this to say about the California gas prices ….
Check this out for current Miami gas prices. Note that even the high ones don’t come close to $5.30.
http://www.miamigasprices.com/
That article quotes a tourist returning home to CA from FL. And that’s ALL they report – no fact checking there. Not a surprise – I lived in Seattle and the Times has a very conservative editorial board, infamous for their distorted and contorted opinions on politics. Elections routinely go for the people the DON’T endorse. It wouldn’t surprise me that they let a whopper like that pass unchecked.
One (from your link):
Two: $4.27 is significantly cheaper than $6.
Three: It hasn’t even risen above $5.
I know this shit excites you like porn, but like your $5 milk fantasy, it isn’t true.
Here is what started the $6 headline.
A single station in Calabasas, CA
A broader look at CA, CO, TX prices shows what happens when a local refinery shuts down.
Libby, you are a liar.
Wait- is that possible?
I’m guessing the lead time is a little longer. ANd Exxonn has all the refinery capacity they want.
A judge in Texas is preparing for war if Obama wins and causes civil unrest and a UN invasion.
Limbaugh predicts riots if Romney wins.
Republicans are lynching empty chairs to symbolize Obama.
Romney supporters are threatening an owner of a mexican restaurant in west Denver because he didn’t want to be used as a campaign prop.
Romney suggests that Obama sides with the terrorists that killed our Ambassador in Libya.
Is being scared and seeing the worst in everyone a prerequisite to being Republican? Cuz apparently no matter what happens, violence will break out!
Its all they have, subtle (or not so) threats of violence and mayhem.
If election in hair’s breadth close and if election improprieties happen in OH, FL, IN, VA, or any other tinderbox state then the hard Right has well prepped their loonies.
LaPierre has his 2nd Amd idiots sitting on dry powder and plenty of shot. Koch bros ready to airlift in legal shock troops enough to overwhelm any little clerks office, and Faux News already has the Chyron loaded with lying, inciting screen bottom scrollers.
Hell, a Bureau of Labor Statistics report months in the making turns Zapruder inside of 6 hrs — proof enough they’ll turn any American failure or success political.
sequester his blathering trollings in his own room?
He can play with himself all day and not take up valuable Pols real estate.
that keeps buzzing around your head.
used to have a useful “ignore” button./ If you clicked it on a troll , his messages would not show on your screen. If we had a tool like that here, we could all get rid of the tad and he and arapagop would have a wonderful time talking to each other. Any hope of getting that feature in our software, Pols?
{ignore doesn’t make the message vanish to anyone who doesn’t click ignore on that poster.]
How about it Guvs?…Pleeeze?
In addition to my opposition due to free speech concerns, the entertainment value is priceless. I say let ‘em flame on……
but the shear volume is the thing that oppresses me. Wading through post after post until you get past seven or eight is really too much. The turd takes threadjacking to a completely unacceptable level…in my view.
And it’s usually pretty high quality.
if dukeco clicks ignore for Libertad, then Libertad posts vanish from his screen. But they would still be there for allyncooper if allyncooper wanted to see them. Free speech has nothing to do with it, because Libertad is still free to post anything he wants — except for common sense, which he is incapable of. But he just can’t compell dukeco or any other unwilling recipient to read him. Note that all replies to Libertad would be readable by dukeco or anyone who clicked ignore. And if you were really curious as to what prompts them, then you can unignore Libertad and read his parent post, before clicking ignore and hiding him again if you are so moved.
Ignore is a free choice from all users.
I am perfectly willing to have an ignore button next to my posts. Unlike Libertad, I don’t really care how many responses I get, or, for that matter, how many people choose to ignore me.
If I never see another word he posts, it won’t break my heart.
‘turd is good bizness for Pols. Masochistic ‘turd generates more postings per thread than any other GOPer. For some reason, the reasonable and sane are compelled to respond to this troll’s daily BS hash.
How many times can a Polster call BS on this troll.
How many responses rebutting $6/gal gas & $5/gal milk.
How many SSDD cut & paste “snips” that say nothing.
How many times must U requests links, sources, facts.
Insanity = doing same thing, same way over & over expecting a different outcome. ’turd will NOT change so why play with him? He’s pretty much said he gets off on tracking responses to his bullshit posts. Responding to ‘turd just gives him a woody — so do you really want to be the thing that excites him?
Please heed.
You guys just don’t get it. Ignore him. He’ll go away. It took me a couple of years, but engaging this lying idiot with his Republican lying talking points each morning is, well, pointless. If you ignore him, he will go away.
used to tell me about the monster that lived under my bed . . .
Without challenging his bullshit…we leave it out there for those who don’t know the turd to actually buy into.
It’s sort of like the Ohio strategy that resulted from the swift-boating of John Kerry. The turd is obsessed…note the amount of time he spends on amassing his copious quantities of crap. I don’t think he will go away until the Guvs put some kind of restraint on the sheer volume of his insane drivel.
When I see a big box quote coming, I quickly glance at the bottom for the poster, then slide on down to the next post. Doesn’t work every time, but it sure saves a lot of disgust. (Not that I don’t have a good supply.)
It’s amazing how many posts one can catch a few starting lines and immediately and accurately understand it’s from Tad or the Bot.
We had ducks when I was growing up… spoiled rotten pet ducks that outlived any egg-related usefulness. Makes me miss them.
Mondale-Reagan in 1984.
This is relevant for a couple of reasons. One, I believe Mondale won it, or at least delivered a very, very good point @ 5:58. (Reagan recycled his famous “there you go again” zinger earlier in the clip, around 1:45 I think, and it took a few minutes before Mondale’s turn came up.) Two, it shows how long the whole Medicare and Social Security are IN DANGER meme has been around. Very similar arguments were made in the debate the other night.

To reiterate the simple message:
FREE BIRTH CONTROL REDUCES ABORTIONS!!!
The more complex message, which is missed by the idiots who like to crow that pills are less than $10 at WalMart, or condoms are cheap (if you can make your man wear them), is that the most effective contraception is the most expensive, and cost is a significant barrier to those methods.
Any intervention will be more successful when there is less chance for user error. Pills must be taken every day. Condoms must be put on correctly before the start of intercourse. Every action required of the user is a chance to mess up.
This is why the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology has started their LARC (long acting reversible contraception) program to raise awareness of implants and IUDs even in adolescents, and partnering with other websites to make women aware of the full range of options that are now available without copay thanks to the Affordable Care Act.
Thanks, Obamacare!!!
And if you’re pro contraception, you must be pro sex. So if you’re against abortion, you’re a horndog. Maybe righty religionists aren’t so bad after all.

“Media” is plural, dingbat.
I can see that you know how to copy and paste a hyperlink. Where’s that alleged LA Times link? We’re waiting…
Boy, what wasn’t said was shouted.
as he compared the president to them and their unreliable truth telling. Actually there was a lot of high pitched base calling in his performance. He was good, really good.
Is this man sick? Barack needs to muzzle this guy, but wait, there’s a VP debate comig up in a week.
Joe’d be smart to catch a cold 4 days beforehand, then hospitalize himself 2 days beforehand … there always a way to “skip school” if you really need to.
The second quote in particular is accurate.
I have not seen that last quote. Given the GOP propensity for freaking the fuck out on this topic, I’d believe that this would have them shrieking from the mountaintops. Since that’s not happening, and since it’s being posted by a hysterical and seldom accurate polster, I’m not accepting that as a true quote at this time. (I’ll look it up later, but I’m not going to bother now.)
It’s kinda different from Lib’s version (duh):
You’re right, it is different. What a surprise.
Anyone else notice Rmoney’s lie about gas prices being under $2 when Obama came into office? The same talking point that Libernuts refuses to stop disseminating despite the fact that the last time gas was $1.80 (his price point) was under $2 was 2002 with GW?
Republicans can’t win on the truth. So, lie,lie,lie, and steal the elections.
Note to Libertad: If I’ve not mentioned it, the last time gas was under $2/gal was under GW in 2002. What’s that, the fourth time you’ve been informed?
Gas bottomed out at the end of the Bush administration when the economy was grinding to a halt. It rebounded to historically, inflation-adjusted norms fairly quickly once the recovery started, but Romney isn’t lying about how low prices got in late 2008 and early 2009.
http://www.GasBuddy.com/gb_ret…
Like parsing, I didn’t believe that when I first heard it (over a year ago IIRC), but found that it did. I honestly couldn’t remember it being less than around $2.40 after topping $4 for the first time in the summer of 2008.
But then there was an incredible dip right around Inauguration Day, an anomaly that was quickly corrected. It made me wonder, conspiracy theory style, if the oil industry did that temporarily JUST for the purpose of creating that talking point – that gas rose by that much more since he took office. The brain dead wingnuts like to trot it out, as though this wasn’t the textbook definition of statistical anomaly.
I can’t recall if the site was government or private, I lean to gummint. It wasn’t a daily reckoning, nor graphic. Maybe weekly. And the lowest price it showed was about $2 in 2002.
So, if it was much lower at the very end of GW’s reign, it was of very brief duration, I’d guess.
It has weekly averages back to 1996.
Looks like $1.78 when Obama took office.
You know damned well the only leverage the POTUS has is his control of the strategic reserve, which is actually no leverage at all.
This is price manipulation by the industry, plain and simple. They have done it before (remember Enron?) and they are doing it now. There is no shortage of oil or gasoline except as manipulated by those who, like that idiot Jack Welch, are desperately trying to find ANYTHING to beat that hated black man who has sullied our White House.
These are the same people who are running non-stop ads trying to convince America that natural gas is a “clean” fuel…and we all know that is a bald-faced fucking lie…don’t we?
I said it will be a cold day in hell before I fear my country.
http://www.cannabiswire.com/20…
(the question was not about fearing your country, whatever that could mean.)
I fear my government.
I’ve seen up close and personal how government officials can abuse their authority for personal gain and for petty vengeance.
I’ve seen courts at different levels render judgments that were unjust and contrary to law.
I have heard from friends and neighbors of how they were abused by law enforcement officials.
Our federal government has started wars in order to improve the reelection prospects for Presidents.
Our Congress recently repudiated key elements of the Bill of Rights.
It is now legal for the NSA to listen to my phone calls without a warrant, for the TSA to fondle me against my will, and for the President to designate me as a target for a drone strike.
To me, this is not a partisan issue: governments are run by people, and people will abuse authority. Reasonable people, ALL of us, fear government and insist on having checks on power.
How is it that I am the first to question WLJ on this ridiculous statement ?
Thank you, republicans.
Thank you republicans.
Thank you, republicans.
really…?
selling popcorn outside the grocery stores right now? Well, God love ‘em all — really, but my days of quietly putting up with this nonsensical crap have long since past . . .
Almost-Eagle Scout denied award because he is gay
http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_new…
. . . I’m handing copies of this article to any BSA kid or adult who tries to sell me kernels this year.
The Boy Scouts came to America from Britain in 1910, IIRC. Within a year or two the Mormon church looked at it and said, “Hey, a ready made youth program for Mormons!” NOTE: No comment on a youth program for the other half?
The Mormon church has been hugely influential in the national organization for a hundred years. Every Mormon stake (church) has a troop.
Mormon men are assigned to be scoutmasters, they have no choice. When I worked at the BS camp in 1999, one week was all Mormon troops. I never saw such bad leadership. The scoutmasters just didn’t care.
If you want to look at the issue of homosexuality and Boy Scouts, look to Salt Lake City.
one guy IIRC in the Pacific Northwest did it because of their policies towards gays. I wrote them all off anyway for me and my family when they had Dick Cheney as a keynote speaker a few years back.
Nice accomplishment. Like my dad, a Life scout.
it was a lot of work. I just wish Scouting would come out of the stone ages.
But he apparently felt that this organization was not the place to mainstream or normalize that orientation.
Microwave popcorn is crap anyway. I pop mine on the stovetop.
http://www.amazon.com/Presto-0…
It’s cheap as dirt — you buy your own kernels;
quick — because you still use the microwave; but don’t have any clean up mess;
healthy — because you don’t use any oil;
add your own post-popping seasonings, salts, herbs and/or finely grated cheeses.
You can find them online, as well as at Wal-Mart or Target or anywhere else that fine quality microwave corn-popping appliances are sold.
Our last pan got scorched (the risk you take with stovetop popping) and I haven’t replaced it yet. I’ll check this out.
The only microwave popcorn worth a damn is Pop Secret Home style, but it’s loaded with trans fat.
I think I’ll have to get me one of those.
I’m losing respect
hard not to promote ANY particular place — just recognizing realities.
hmmmmmm? . . . I know! I found this recently (h/t The Dark Lord of Sincerity)
I sure hope that clears that up.

Amazon is the sane alternative to Wal-mart and with my Prime membership, shipping is free.

The election season is so long – 3.9 years – and the media examination so intense with technologies we didn’t have in 1960, why bother?
The moronic undecideds won’t make up their minds due to the debates, the decided are, well, decided.
Can ‘em.
When his books went to audio, why did he deny his listeners every section of his book deal with Franck Marshall Davis?
What is he covering up?
Why did he censor his own work?
What’s he hiding?
Lotsa spitballs, eh, Annoying Boy?
Total spit ball …. but WTF is it with this guy, he strips out all references to Frank Marshall Davis from the audio book …. Come freakin’ on
is he the guy who designed “Falling Water ?”
