Mitt Romney Talks Vice Presidential Picks (VIDEO)
Mitt Romney praised his rival Newt Gingrich Wednesday on MSNBC but stopped short of saying whether he’d consider the former Speaker as a vice presidential pick.

Let us talk about winning the lottery.
No doubt…..how funny. See you and I need to rule the world…that’s just what needs to happen.
Still waiting on a lefty to comment on the fact the Senate Bill steals money from SS but puts a new tax on FHA loans that are put into the treasury instead of SS???? How many evil rich people have FHA Loans? How many single mothers and elderly people have FHA loans?? Hmmmmmmmmm!!
“Never give a sucker an even break.” Congress, um ur P.T. Barnum
Not holding my breath.
Good, because you are still playing word games. The FACT is come January, 160 MILLION Americans will get LESS in their paychecks, courtesy of the Tea Party.
Thanks…………..thanks alot.
Are you a coward? Serious question. Why are you refusing to answer the question why you feel they should raid ssi? Because you know it is wrong.
Wasn’t the first choice. Wanted to end the tax breaks for Big Oil, but you whiners killed that. Then maybe a small tax on those making millions, but nope, you whiners killed that one as well.
So WHO gets stuck with the bill AGAIN……….the Middle Class and Working Poor. No, you Conservatives fought tooth and nail not to harm those in the Top Tier, but as this ONLY affects the umemployed and those making less than $106K a year, who cares right.
Once again, the rightwing shows they are ONLY concerned with one segment of America. Good, the PEOPLE needed to see this………………..and guess what they are……….in technicolor. They saw you all dig in when it came to defending tax breaks to the top tier, but when it only impacts the Middle Class, you punt.
Thanks for all the fish.
And if the Senate Bill Passes for the next 2 YEARS MILLIONS of low income people will pay the $40 in extra mortgage payment!!
Give with one hand , take with the other!! “A sucker is born every minute”!!

Huh……………dude, that made no sense……….unless of course you are letting your Mom currently exist with only a $40 saftey net. If so, let her have a little more Scrooge.

Really, need me to quote from the SS Trustee report again or do you want to stipulate they are stealing from a program heading directly into bankruptcy???
Cue generic repeat comment blaming Repubs. Answering questions – not happening. zzzzzzzzz

Yeah, what he said…………………………………….
His relatives say his death came after months of physical and mental abuse from fellow soldiers, including being pelted with rocks, forced to hold liquid in his mouth without swallowing, and hearing his name called out in a “goatlike” bleat day after day.

=======================
is the army getting soft? why was this tolerated?
Ok guys, according to LB in jan 160 americans will have to contribute to their own retirement. Oh the horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep in mind that 47% of these 160 million americans DON’T PAY ANY TAXES AT ALL.
Hold on, my socks are damp………..can dry them on that spin.
Right, those people getting smaller “PAYCHECKS” do not work. Classic.
If you pay zero taxes how can your paycheck get smaller. You feeble attempt at raiding and bankrupting ssi is falling flat.
And chances are those under the age of 40 will NEVER see SS. So basically they are FUNDING the retirements of the old, bitter Conservatives who rather than say thank you………bitch about it.
Make that 50 years old now that they have accelerated the train heading for the site of the wreck!!!
BTW, this is another lefty numbers game!!
Total number of WORKERS in the country is 160 million!!
The $40 is based on median HOUSEHOLD income that in most cases includes more than one worker!!
So not only are they stealing from us, they are lying to us too!!
I for one am shocked lefties would lie about something in politics!!
Politics baby politics……………I love this. Even the Conservative Senators are telling the TP House they are full of crap on this……..and you all still defend it. Thanks for the election. Come January, when people see smaller paychecks, I am quite sure they will be comforted by your words and rationalizations.
Politics baby!! Do what is best for the party and your next election, FOCK the country!!
Sad you would cheer them on their way to destroying the country!!
He’s a moderate, remember?
Hey Robin (or anyone). Have you seen Dolphin Tale. Looking for a gift for someone who is as big an animal lover as you. Did you see it? If yes, how was it?
I did not see that one , sorry . I don’t go to see animal movies as much as you might think . The animal ends up in danger , and my emotions get too pushed around ..?
( I was not allowed to watch them when I was a girl , I would worry about them after the movie was over
Thanks, and you know what……that is a very good point.
Even makes it overseas………figure it is appropriate since you righties post every Niles Gardiner Op Ed.

For the trivia question earlier…………the Box Jellyfish.
I saw this in remarks at another site. This pretty much sums up the issue in congress today.
********
Dems: We want a 2 month extension.
Repubs: We’ll give you a 12 month extension.
Dems: No, we want 2 months.
Repubs: A 12 month extension will give more money back to the taxpayer.
Dems: You’re being unreasonable. We want 2 months.
Repubs: You do realize that 12 is larger than 2?
Dems: We won’t back down until you give us 2.
Trolls: Yeah, we want 2 because… because… uh, Obama said so.
show more show less
Nope, we wanted 12, but you wanted to ADD all this other crap like drug testing unemployment recipients, and the usual rightwing hogwash add ons. Then to fund it, how dare we talk about ending tax breaks for Big Oil or the Top Tier. No your way is SO MUCH Better………stick the middle class and the working poor with the bill.
Get it right………but again……….thanks……..this will not end well for the GOP.
Show me the bill that requires drug testing. I can’t find it.
if you’re pissed about a few months of SS not getting funded. . .why are you for a year???
No sh!t………and their supporters will play stupid right along side them.

Press long enough and the truth comes out. According to lb it is ok to bankrupt seniors because only conservatives get old. Nice to know. putz!!

My GOD, do not tell me you also do not believe the right to vote is in the COTUS. You far righties are just plain amazing………..simply amazing. Guess the Voting RIGHTS Act, and the 15th ammendment which prohibit a citizen’s RIGHT TO VOTE mean little.
Simply amazing…………………come on November 2012.

So many incorrect lefty talking point and so little time!!
#1 – EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTES to SS so EVERYBODY gets this “tax” break you are pushing!! So by passing this BS the Dems are helping the evil top teir!!
#2 – What the fock does an oil tax break have to do with them stealing from SS!! See if they eliminate the tax break for oil the money goes to general revenue! When they steal from SS they are simply delaying the need to take money from the general tresuary to pay for this vote buying scheme! The only people who win in either case are the politicians taking advantage of stupid people!!
#3 – Working Poor, LOL!!! These people you are whining about DON’T pay SS contributions, they get them given back in the form of earned income credits!! So this BS is just another federal welfare program for those people!!
#4 – Just how many YEARS do you want to pay lazy people to sit on their asses and collect UI???? Study after study says these programs only delay many people from looking for work!! But hey, you stick to the whining lefty talking point, we don’t expect anything more from you!!
You laugh at the working poor like the do not exist, then go to your standard line about unemployed people being lazy…….then tomorrow you will accuse the left of class warfare……………classic.
Self-hate……………..so apparent.
Hey I understand the anger and frustration of the far righties here. If I had just shot myself in the foot, I would tend to be angry as well.
LOL, ignorance is bliss I guess!!
Cause people with an understanding of the issues facing the country should be pissed about the out of control spending, theft from SS accounts and vote buying by politicians that are apparently much smarter than YOU are!!
Ya know, my Aunt voted for Obama. Then she started reading information, doing research on her own and the other day she told me she wished she could go back to the days when she didn’t know what was going on, it was easier to be a Democrat!!
I am not angry. Right now either the dems come back to work or we will continue to fund ssi. I still think they should lower income tax and leave the ssi contribution alone.
How about the frustration of the regular righties with your refusal to answer legitimate questions? Do you understand that part?

Which elections are federal?? And what does the 15th have to do with “IT”????
Many people believed that the forest was a foreboding and dangerous place, but Red Riding Hood knew that this was an irrational fear based on cultural paradigms instilled by a patriarchal society that regarded the natural world as an exploitable resource, and hence believed that natural predators were in fact intolerable competitors.
Other people avoided the woods for fear of thieves and deviants, but Red Riding Hood felt that in a truly classless society all marginalized peoples would be able to “come out” of the woods and be accepted as valid lifestyle role models.
http://www.political-humor.org/little-red-riding-hood.shtml
The Wolf said, “You know, my dear, it isn’t safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone.”
Red Riding Hood said, “I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop an alternative and yet entirely valid worldview. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I would prefer to be on my way.”
Red Riding Hood returned to the main path, and proceeded towards her grandmother’s house.
But because his status outside society had freed him from slavish adherence to linear, Western-style thought, the Wolf knew of a quicker route to Grandma’s house.
Then, unhampered by rigid, traditionalist gender role notions, he put on Grandma’s nightclothes, crawled under the bedclothes, and awaited developments.
Red Riding Hood entered the cottage and said,

Sarah Palin Questions Obama White House Holiday Card

What an idiot, seriously……….like anyone cares what you think about anything. I think the card is quite nice……..warm, and speaks of home. This chick is unreal. Guess we need to add Halmark Critic to her resume.
“Last chance, sister! Get your hands off that endangered species! This is an FBI sting!” screamed the woodchopper, and when Little Red Riding Hood nonetheless made a sudden motion, he sliced off her head.
“Thank goodness you got here in time,” said the Wolf. “The brat and her grandmother lured me in here. I thought I was a goner.”
“No, I think I’m the real victim, here,” said the woodchopper. “I’ve been dealing with my anger ever since I saw her picking those protected flowers earlier. And now I’m going to have such a trauma. Do you have any aspirin?”
“Sure,” said the Wolf.
Pure Democracy
You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.
Representative Democracy
You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone to tell you who gets the milk.
Bureaucracy
You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.
Pure Anarchy
You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbors try to take the cows and kill you.

Granted we (AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE) collects intel via methods contrary to international law. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, and a spy is caught, or a drone is downed. It is a risk INHERENT in the world of intel gathering. But what you do NOT do is launch a OVERT act of war to try and cover …

Me, I’m pissed about BOTH!!! Either way it is a vote buying scheme that will make no difference in the economy! What it will do is take $7 BILLION a month from SS and end the program as we know it that much faster!!
Now I’m for ending SS through reform, not bankruptcy!! This whole fiasco only serves to show why people’s retirement should not be controled by politicians!!
