Romney tells Naacp "if they want stuff for free vote for the other guy"

[The Sponge]

This kind of stuff works with the mentally challenge and the racist of our society but lets take a real look at where the really huge big amounts of "free" money goes. And people wonder why we have racism. :facepalm:

As far as free lunches go, we of course just witnessed the biggest government handout in history, one that Romney himself endorsed. Four and a half trillion dollars in bailout money already disbursed, trillions more still at risk in guarantees and loans, sixteen trillion dollars in emergency lending from the Federal Reserve, two trillion in quantitative easing, etc. etc. All of this money went to Romney?s pals in the Wall Street banks that for years helped Romney take over companies with mountains of borrowed cash. Now, after these banks crashed, executives at those same firms used those public funds to pay themselves massive salaries, which is exactly the opposite of ?helping those who need help,? if you?re keeping score.

That set of facts alone made the ?free stuff? speech shockingly offensive. But the problem isn?t just that Romney?s wrong, and a hypocrite, and cynically furthering dangerous and irresponsible stereotypes in order to advance some harebrained electoral ploy involving white conservative voters. What makes it gross is the way he did it.

I find romney's approach refreshing in that He is not sugar-coating or pandering to his wildly liberal audience.

Who said that?

It is disappointing to me.

1. Who doesn't like free stuff?

2. Nothing is free.


It is a complete and utter bullshit statement and really has no place in US politics.

I guess I'm sick of the BS and name calling and no substance crap that has become the US political system.

Show me what your plan is, what it will accomplish and why. Compare it to his plan and let me decide which is better. Quit with the first grade name calling and note passing, please.

Read a great article about taxing wealth over taxing income. If I can find it again, will post.

On This Day in 1964, Democrats Filibustered the Civil Rights Act

Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, June 10, 2012, 7:11 PM





June 10, 1964, was a dramatic day in the United States Senate. For the first time in its history, cloture was invoked on a civil rights bill, ending a record-breaking filibuster by Democrats that had consumed fifty-seven working days. The hero of the hour was minority leader Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen (R-Ill.).
On June 10, 1964, Democrats filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
Grand Old Partisan reported, via DANEgerus:

On this day in 1964, Everett Dirksen (R-IL), the Republican Leader in the U.S. Senate, condemned the Democrats? 57-day filibuster against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Leading the Democrats in their opposition to civil rights for African-Americans was Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV). Byrd, who got into politics as a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan, spoke against the bill for fourteen straight hours. Democrats still call Robert Byrd ?the conscience of the Senate.?
In his speech, Senator Dirksen called on the Democrats to end their filibuster and accept racial equality.

Obama and His Jobs Council: There in Spirit

<ADDRESS class="byline author vcard">By PETER BAKER</ADDRESS></HEADER>

Richard Perry/The New York TimesPresident Obama waved as he arrived in Jacksonville, Fla., for a campaign event.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ? The White House wants it known that President Obama is listening attentively to his jobs advisory council, even if he is not meeting with them all that often.
Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday as Mr. Obama embarked on a two-day campaign swing to Florida that the president had adopted the vast majority of the council?s ideas that were within his power to enact.
?I want to be clear,? Mr. Carney said. ?The president is extremely appreciative of the initiatives and ideas that have been put forward by his jobs council.?
The comments were intended to defuse criticism that the council, composed of corporate executives, labor leaders and other outside advisers, has not met in public for six months, as first reported by Politico.
After the report, Mr. Carney was asked at a briefing Wednesday if there was a reason why the president had not gotten together with them lately.
?No, there?s no specific reason except that the president?s obviously got a lot on his plate,? Mr. Carney said then. ?But he continues to solicit and receive advice from numerous folks outside the administration about the economy, about ideas he can act on with Congress or administratively to help the economy grow and help it create jobs.?
The response fueled the controversy because it sounded like Mr. Carney was saying the president was too busy to meet with the jobs council at a time of intense focus on unemployment. Republicans quickly pounced on the comment.
Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the speaker, told reporters Thursday that Mr. Obama ?hasn?t lifted a finger to work with Congress on jobs? and ?doesn?t even have time to meet with his own jobs council.?
?He?s just out there campaigning every day and looking for somebody else to blame,? Mr. Boehner said.
Hoping to douse the furor, Mr. Carney raised it unasked during a session with reporters on Thursday. He noted that a plan announced by the administration on Wednesday to streamline the review process for permits on major infrastructure projects actually came from the jobs council, including for ports in Charleston, S.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Miami; New York and New Jersey; and Savannah, Ga.
He said the president had acted on 90 percent of the ideas put forth by the council that could be advanced through executive authority, but Congress had acted on only 20 percent of those that require legislation, including a jobs act that he said, citing economists, would create 1 million jobs.
?The president is focused on job creation and economic growth, and he is using every tool in his toolbox to advance job creation and economic growth through his executive action,? Mr. Carney said. ?But we need Congress to act, too.?

You need to BUY a CLUE.

TIA

Well if you read the whole article, a stretch I know, it says that Obama has presented 90% of the councils recomendations to congress but they have voted down 90% of them.
Obama does not have to meet with the council. All he needs to do is to see their recomendations.

So why are your Republican friends voting all this stuff down? :shrug:

 

[StevieD]

nevermind!!!!!!!!!!!!.
