The Gift.
Author: Raine    Date: 11/15/2012 13:49:54

I am now officially waiting for my gift...
In a conference call with fund-raisers and donors to his campaign, Mr. Romney said Wednesday afternoon that the president had followed the “old playbook” of using targeted initiatives to woo specific interest groups — “especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people.”

“In each case, they were very generous in what they gave to those groups,” Mr. Romney said, contrasting Mr. Obama’s strategy to his own of “talking about big issues for the whole country: military strategy, foreign policy, a strong economy, creating jobs and so forth.”

Mr. Romney’s comments in the 20-minute conference call came after his running mate, Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, told WISC-TV in Madison on Monday that their loss was a result of Mr. Obama’s strength in “urban areas,” an analysis that did not account for Mr. Obama’s victories in more rural states like Iowa and New Hampshire or the decrease in the number of votes for the president relative to 2008 in critical urban counties in Ohio.

“With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest was a big gift,” Mr. Romney said. “Free contraceptives were very big with young, college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents’ plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.”


Actually, I'm not waiting for anything, we got a gift November 6 when the world was told that NO, we aren't electing a sour bitter greedy nasty man and his younger mini me who seems to think the only reason they lost is because older white men didn't vote for them.

You want to know why Mitt Romney lost? He's Mitt Romney. You know why conservatism is failing in this country: It doesn't take responsibility any more, It only blames. It's always the poor, the blacks, the immigrants, the women -- the lessor among THEM that are to blame. They've blamed this loss on everything from Bid Bird to the weather, and never once -- not once -- has anyone one of these people, from Mitt and Ryan, to Fox news pundits and campaign advisors -- have they taken a look at themselves and thought: Hey -- maybe it was Mitt being Mitt that is the problem.

You know what? It's not a playbook to actually give a damn about the people of this nation. It's not a tactic. It's called caring about people who aren't rich like Mitt and his 1% crowd. It's called governance. It's called campaigning to promote a vision to the nation. One Side came out victorious, Mitt Romney lost. I know the election is over, but clearly the hate and the bigotry and misogyny is still there, and if you think for one minute that Mitt Romney actually gives a shit about anyone but he and his-- your proof is right there in that NYT article. The title says it all: Romney Blames Loss on Obama’s ‘Gifts’ to Minorities and Young Voters

Phuck Mitt Romeny. He lost because he's exactly who he is. Barack Obama is the President of the United states because that is who the majority of this country WANTED as president. That's not a gift. It's not bribery. This is an informed electorate that made a decision to elect a man that actually said he cares about the middle class. A majority of us voted FOR the re-election of President Obama. It wasn't because of gifts, like cell phones or free healthcare -- it was because he presented a preferable vision for our future.

Phuck Paul Ryan. He lost because he's a selfish little prick Ayn Rand worshipper who wants power and fame. He doesn't give a shit about people. Joe Biden is Vice President because not only did Barack Obama make a wise choice in choosing him as a running mate, Joe Biden cares about people. He and his boss actually care about making this nation better for everyone -- as opposed to just a few.

I would like for Mitt Romney to take his millions of dollars and all of his secret off-shore holdings and leave -- just go away. He's got the loving embrace of his wife, he's has a family that loves him-- he will never want for anything. His help is not something we need or want. I want him to simply leave and let the grownups that were elected to work this out. They are people who are mature enough not to blame us for the nation's ill's.

Go Away Mitt Romney -- just go away, that is the greatest gift I could receive. Well that and the free contraception... that was pretty cool.

The person said BP will plead guilty to obstruction for lying to Congress about how much oil was pouring out of the ruptured well. The person declined to say exactly how much the fine in the billions of dollars would be.

VIA THE BBC:
It will be the biggest criminal penalty in US history, BBC business editor Robert Peston says.

The settlement with the Department of Justice involves BP pleading guilty to criminal charges.

It is thought that up to four BP staff may be arrested, Robert Peston says.

BP is thought to be relieved that it has reached a settlement, because the potential liability was unlimited ”

Details of the settlement are expected to be confirmed by the Washington-based Department of Justice later.

and this:
BP has booked provisions of $38.1bn to cover its liabilities from the incident, but the company has said the final cost remained highly uncertain.

I may have been premature in my celebratory coffee and cheesing earlier this week.

Been feeling a bit icky since Monday when I had actual cheese in my sandwich and a cuppa mud. Cereal for breakfast Tuesday likely didn't help, either.

Ya know, all my side effects except the cold behaved themselves this past weekend in the field....freakin' cancer, playing mind tricks on me now.

Tony Hayward wanted his life back... well, he got it, but that didn't bring back the lives of the 11 people -- human beings -- who died that day. It didn't make the gulf cleaner. It didn't bring back business' that closed... the countless animals that died... the ongoing environmental mess wehave.

This oil spill was a manmade disaster. This time, people will be held accountable, and when I say 'people' I'll quote Mitt Romney:

Corporations are people my friends.

That sword can cut the other way.

What I want to know is if they are going to be any sanction on BP from getting contracts with gummit. That is what happened to Toshiba when they sold turbines to the Chinese.

Comment by trojanrabbit on 11/15/2012 16:00:42
Thanks, Raine.

IANAL, but because of the sheer size of it, at what point could we consider it a "capital crime"?

Because corporations are people, too.

What would be the proper way to give a corporation the death penalty?

Liquidate it? (sell it off to the highest bidders)
Have the government take it over?
Execute the Board of Directors?

The question is serious, some of the answers are not (though in thinking a bit more....)

BBC is saying they set aside 38 billion... I think they are scared.

That 2-4 people may be going to jail is fairly significant to me. They are going to jail for lying to congress.

That should send chills down the spines of more than a few people -- and possibly people like Darrell Issa.

DOJ is doing its job.

Good morning, bloggers!!

I am getting ready for my holiday retail job interview, and tomorrow have the maternity leave sub interview.

I must ask where my gift is? Also, considering the hatefulness and absurdity of Mitt Romney's statement, I have to ask if I am getting a gift or a payment from the world Jewish conspiracy. Yes, Mitt Romney's statements reminded me of some of the most hateful rhetoric that I have seen, impugning entire elements of our nation.

Still, I guess we must presume that Mitt Romney is a man of his time. Mitt, it is not 1212 and you are not a feudal lord!! Wake up!!

I know that being relieved from having to talk to people of questionable intelligence would be welcome. As for myself, I am hoping that I get offers from today and tomorrow -- and ideally a full time job interview with an offer from out of the blue.

Plus they have a big NASA rocket testing base that my brother-in-law works at.

Missed a Space Shuttle engine test by one day when I visited Stennis Space Center a long time ago.

Land was bought up for miles around, because the vibration set up by the rocket engines would destroy normal housing.

Oh, I'm sure NASA could find some other land to test things in the non-seceded States of America.

I'd be all for secession, but as enemies of the United States now, we should isolate any such state and see how they make out. (No trade, withdraw any and all US assets, don't allow them to use our currency, Travel restrictions like Cuba, etc.)

I still say the President should call all their bluffs with these petitions and issue a blanket statement, "OK, You can go.".

They all have to pay their debt.

and we grandfather in those blue pockets and blue people. and all those people that may disagree with Obama but still like to be a part of the USA.

Comment by TriSec on 11/15/2012 18:17:16
Well, there would be amnesty of sorts, or "All ashore who's going ashore". I know not everybody in every state wants to secede, but logistically that could be difficult.

I suppose the secessionists never thought of that, or maybe they were planning on herding all the "Obamists" into concentration and resettlement camps?

My big issue is that THEY PAY THIER DEBT.

Seriously. how much $$ from *blue* states goes to *red* states?

We subsidize enough these days, I;min no mood to subsidize new countries.

There was a thing posted GOP Meme to FB about this. It is a couched as letter to Texas explaining that all US troops will be withdrawn from the country of Texas, all citizens of Texas will need leave the US unless the they have valid country of Texas passports, that the FAA will no longer be monitoring Texas' airspace and the FCC will no longer regulate TV, radio, internet etc in Texas, The Coastguard will no longer being doing rescue, drug interdiction or harbor safety inspections in Texas. And by the way, here is your portion of the national debt.

There's more, it is pretty funny.

That's kinda what I'm getting at. This isn't 1860 anymore, it will be a little more difficult this time.

There's also something out on Newsvine about how they should secede, and in turn we'd be able to quickly balance the Federal budget, since the southern red states get oh so much more than they contribute to the United States in terms of real dollars. I love how they complain about the redistribution of wealth, but a significant portion of the Northeast's tax dollars go to subsidize their way of life.

McBitter McCain too busy hammering Susan Rice for the cameras to attend briefing on Benghaziby Meteor BladesFollow .
Tweet permalink 154 Comments / 154 New

Sen. John McCain was so busy Wednesday attacking Susan Rice over statements she made in the aftermath of the murderous attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that he skipped an official briefing on the attack. While he was in high dudgeon before the cameras together with Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Kelly Ayotte making threats to filibuster the rumored nomination of Rice to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and calling for a select investigative committee to look into the matter, the classified, closed-door briefing was being held by a Senate committee on which he sits.

From a veteran (Posted on Newsvine)

I wonder if the people signing the petitions realize they are being used as pawns by those wishing to destroy America ?? To me when they sign those papers and affirm that they are now against America, they have become domestic enemies of America and deserve to be treated as such.

Today's Irony from New England...

So, I got an email from our corporate trainers about joining a session to learn about our Cancer Support Program.

The meeting is on a treatment day. I will be actively receiving chemotherapy at the appointed hour.

Cancer Sucks.
