Certainly NOT the best... but she kicks the @sses of those Righties in the pic above... all by herself.


But I thought she was JUST a law student??? That's the way she was portrayed by the Dems and the press when she testified in front of Congress...

Turns out she was nothing but another Democratic operative...
BTW, she couldn't carry water for Condi...

Besides Romney hiding his income offshore and the Dems hiding their income to avoid taxes...
DO YA THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE RICH TO PAY THEIR TAXES?????????????????????????????????????

It amazes me that some people on this board will totally justify Romney cheating on his taxes, by showing
that other people also cheat on their taxes.

Isn't the point that EVERYONE pays their taxes... and NO ONE evades their taxes?????????????

It's like 3rd grade... "yea I did it... but they did it too", somehow justifies tax cheating.

LOL!  This coming from the guy who points to Reagan and Bush to justify Obama's continued wars and government spending.  Pot meet kettle.

Cicero cant run for office.  It's part of "THE GOVERNMENT" and Cic hates "THE GOVERNMENT".
He would have no one to hate but himself if he actually took part in "THE GOVERNMENT".

On this I can agree. Romney, Obama and the rest of the 1% to start. But in reality, the fallacy that the rest of us can skate while the rich get soaked has to stop. The Bush tax cuts have to expire...for everyone.
Then, we need to take a hard look at all aspects of the budget and make REAL cuts....Not fantasy cuts or cuts that assume a war will end or the economy will get better. In addition to making up 1 Trillion in deficit for current budgets, we have close to 20 Trillion PLUS interest to pay in overall debt. As for cuts, for starters  we need to stop being the worlds policemen, both in wars we start, like Iraq and Afghanistan, and wars that have started..Libya and Syria. We should only go to war when it is in our vital national interest...and yes, that can include things like Energy. Then there are entitlements, I'd rather spend a little more money policing these to making sure only those qualify for the benefits, actually get them.
Like I said before the only difference between us and Greece is we have nukes and also hold the worlds reserve currency. If we ever lose that reserve status, this time period will seem like the good old days.

Afghanistan??? The USA is fighting in Afghanistan???


"Mitt Romney said not a word about the war in Afghanistan. Nor did he utter a word of appreciation
to the troops fighting there, or to those who have fought there. Nor for that matter were there thanks
for those who fought in Iraq, another conflict that went unmentioned."

"Leave aside the question of the political wisdom of Romney's silence, and the opportunities it opens
up for President Obama next week. What about the civic propriety of a presidential nominee failing
even to mention, in his acceptance speech, a war we're fighting and our young men and women who
are fighting it?"

(Had Obama done this, the Right Wing Nuts would be shouting "Traitor" from the roof tops.  Mittens
gets a free ride ignoring our Troops.)

Don't know that this was posted anywhere on here, or maybe I haven't looked through enough.  Wanted to share Clint Eastwood's speech from the RNC in support of Mitt Romney.  He went teleprompter free, and you can tell in the speech that he did.

If you want to see the disaster that will be the Romney/Ryan administration... just look at this fiasco.  
Eastwood was the worst speaker of the entire Convention and the decision to put him there with only a opening
script... shows the lack of leadership on Romney's part.

A loose cannon misfiring on the convention stage... minutes before the Romney acceptance speech...
Elect Romney and expect much more of the same.

Lol - Inherited events.  Keep propping up those straw men and knocking them down.  Most of the public educated ignoramuses don't know how to identify a straw man argument.  You tell somebody it’s a straw man; they would think you are talking about a scarecrow.

Yeah, that's a real indicator  
Let's see the freak show the Dems put on stage next week.

Clint was there for his star power and nothing more. To have him be just another in the long line of speakers would have a been a waste. Did I like his skit? It had its moments, but I would have done something else.

It was the only misstep of the night. I was watching PBS's coverage of the rest of the speakers, and they were saying over and over, "why haven't we seen this before?"

Why haven't we seen this before???
HEY!  It ain't easy transforming Richie Rich into a semi human.  It took months of practice practice practice!
And he still blew the Afghanistan thing.

He's just part of the 1%, just like your pal Obama.
At least his blowing of the Afghanistan thing hasn't cost American lives, like Barry's has.

The POOR GUY!

Ann Romney says that her husband is “used to” passing up multi-million job offers and that the
“poor guy” didn’t even get paid for running the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

During an interview on Friday, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade noted that the former Massachusetts
governor had gotten a job offer for $30 million a year after he lost the presidential nomination to
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2008.

Yea Ann... the POOR GUY!  He's really just a regular guy... Right Ann?  The kind of guy who is used to
passing up $30 million dollar job offers... you know... a regular guy, just like you and I.

The power to tax makes you "the government".. Thanks for the info.
  That means the FBI isn't the Govt,
the EPA isn't the GOVT,
the Cop isn't the GOVT,
The IRS isn't the GOVT,
The Post office isn't the GOVT,
Obama isn't the government,
and about a few thousand others.

Glad you cleared that up Cic.


but their budget is your tax via legislation that you vote for.....



...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
