So now we’re to believe Barack Obama is responsible for chaos in the Middle East, according to Mitt Romney’s latest bid to present himself as something presidential?
Yeah right, give a speech before compliant military students, vaguely yak about getting tough on what your targeted wider audience think of as towel heads and suddenly American voters are supposed to think you’re going to protect us from terrorists poisoning our yogurt in our shopping malls.
We’ve heard this crap before, Mr. Romney. It cost us billions and billions of our money plus thousands and thousands of our young folks dead or wounded.
I’m betting there are enough voters out there who see through this jingoistic suck-up to Dick Cheney’s pals to recognize that this is one horror flick for which there should be no sequel.

I claim this wooohooo for Queen Isabella
And Pogo there is adult bullying and it is not pretty I believe Mittens is an adult bully --
Mr. Rmoney just which group do you plan on arming?
I’ll bet 10K (as soon as it trickles down to me) Mittens does not understand any of the issues with celebrating Columbus Day
We all know Willard doesn’t give a rat’s behind about us…he just wants the US to become a corporate Sparta.
I think it’s a dress rehearsal for the foreign policy debate depending on the reactions there will be an adjusted Mitt for the debate
Romney foreign policy advisors are moestly staunch neoconservatives.
What does Mitt Romney believe on foreign policy?
By Brian Montopoli, CBS News, October 8, 2012 2:43 PM
Republican candidate Mitt Romney lambasts the President’s record in the Middle East in a major foreign policy speech at Virginia Military Institute.
KC, I’m a lawyer. Bullying has a meaning these days, mostly in the school context. The adult analog in the employment context is harassment. At least it is here. That was the source of my question. No question that bullying takes place between adults -- it just isn’t called that in the legal system.
So is Romney ignoring the US-South Korean accord that is a rsponse to North Korea’s threats? He surely doesn’t think that was to protect So. Korea from Japan does he?
The exchange between the television personality and the shallow fan had nothing to do with workplace issues
the guy was a bully. It encouraged bullying behavior and he has since apologized
Has nothing to do with workplace harassment or legal issues -- this is about a cultural climate that allows or worse encourages this type of behavior no matter what you call it for legal purposes — it is still bullying
Romney is a social and workplace dogmatist. He tramples anybody whom be believes to be either a social inferior, or a dated corporate entrepreneurial executive. It’s either 100-pct of his program as he has articulated it, or get the hell out--no room for discussion prior to implementation.

Bullying occurs everywhere in people’s lives. Some people have parents who are bullies, teachers,coaches, scout leaders, neighbors and even their own friends.
Anyone who has spent anytime in places where people congregate has run into the universal bully who is usually both terrifying, rude and obnoxious and ruins the fun for every where. The worst cases are when they have the physical ability to back up their words.
The US culture has only recently taken a strong anti-bullying position. It used to be the victim’s responsibility to stand up to the bully to get any kind of community support. I think there is a lot of evidence that bullies are often bullied somewhere else
I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. Like I said, bullying occurs among adults. It also occurs between kids and between adults and kids. I see bullying between husband and wife with great frequency in my line of work. Outside the workplace it has different legal remedies than in the workplace. I don’t approve of it. As a societal proposition, it is reprehensible, and in some cases, leads to fatal results. Civilized society should do all it can to prevent bullying and to provide recourse to victims. Recourse is what I was addressing, and I was just making an observation from a different perspective.
“… I was just making an observation from a different perspective.”--Pogo
But, of course. Family law must be incredibly draining.
I’m betting there are enough voters out there who see through this jingoistic suck-up to Dick Cheney’s pals to recognize that this is one horror flick for which there should be no sequel
Craig… AMEN!
yeah… Rmoney wants us to go backwards toward Cheney’s bullying ways… like that worked out soooo well for us. fucking putz…
Flatus… that’s one bitchin’ car…
There are times when I think modern life is following the “Garbage In Garbage Out” principle of computer programming. Not to sound like a fuddy duddy since I’m a fan of many books, movies, and TV shows that easily qualify for R if not X ratings, but what has changed is for certain behaviors seem to have become socially acceptable.
Listening to the language of the young and in supposed comedies etc tells me that these people haven’t been taught that they may not be responsible for the behavior or others, but they are responsible for their own.
Simple common courtesy goes a long way toward a smooth running society and it may be that the steady loss of influence from mentor types either religious or public is now making truly ugly behaviors totally acceptable or at least unchallenged.
Ponder this…
We all have heard all the lies that have been spewed out of the mouth of $Rmoney as well as watched and heard him change every position he has taken over the last year.
We also know that he will not release his tax returns (where are the hackers when their needed the most?), because we all know that there is something in them that is so damaging he could never be elected President let alone dog catcher.
We know he does not like to talk about his religion either or the fact that he is a person of authority in the Mormon Church, he’s a Bishop.
We also know that there is no religious test for the Office of the President Of The United States.
One could very well argue that we would not elect a authoritative figure in any church to the Office of President. Be it a Catholic Bishop, Protestant Bishop, Rabbi high in the Jewish Faith or any religion.
The reason is that a authoritative leader in any religion would have the first duty to their church over the people of the county.
The argument was brought up when JFK ran since they all believed that his duty would be to his church and take orders from the Vatican. Of course JFK was not a religious leader in the Catholic Church so after JFK addressed this argument against him and he assured the American People he would not take orders from the Vatican it put the issue to rest.
However, we do know that a authoritative leader of a major Religion like the Catholic Religion (ie.. Bishop as a example) first duty would be to his church.
So how does $Rmoney convince the American People that his first duty would not be to the Mormon Church but to the people of America first?
If he is such a strong leader in the church as he says he is then renouncing is faith by putting the Country before his Church is not going to happen. He will put his church first and our country second. If he puts Country first then he is not as faithful to the church as he would have us all believe and therefore unfit to be our President.
So will we see another lie out of his mouth when he proclaims how strong his faith is, but that he would put country before church?
I bet he will if someone were to ask him.
Have a good evening all.
the mormians believe that it is perfectly ok to lie to anyone who is not a mormian.
It is at times Flatus, it is at times.
Speaking about the Pew poll showing Rmoney ahead by 4, Chris Cillizza points this out:
“That pesky party ID question: The Pew sample for this poll was 36 percent Republican, 31 percent Democratic and 30 percent independent. That’s a major shift from the organization’s September poll which was 29 percent Republican, 39 percent Democratic and 30 percent independent. In the 2010 election, the electorate was 36 percent Republican, 36 percent Democratic and 27 percent independent, according to exit polling. In 2008, 39 percent of the electorate identified as Democrats while 32 percent said they were Republicans and 29 percent said they were independents.”
That’s a 15 point differential in R v. D. -- from -10 to + 5. Imagine that the poll came out differently. who could have ever guessed that?
That’s a hefty chunk of important information
So from a random sample more people were willing to identify as Republicans giving Romney the advantage. Was there a shift? or statistical noise?

Polling is always a little suspect. Just ask president Dewey.

WOW what is missing from all of your comments????
It is striking that no one can speak of a positive for Barack Obama, The fact is the only positive is Hillary. She is doing all of the work. This administration and President have been a no show.
Barack is also an Obama Nation in the foreign policy area. His apology tour was a disgrace and did not provide the rose color glass results that he expected.
Do not blame Barack -- He has been protected, coddled, sheltered as the chosen one in the past and by the fake journalist.
Barack is a good man just not a good President. Nice to have dreams but they must be able to meet the needs of our Nation and the World.
Where is the good news and the difference he made in foreign policy? He is GWB v2
The Koch Brothers, they don’t make paper towels from hemp.
The October crash happened must faster then I expected.
Maybe Barack does not want to be reelected?
And now that he is not sheltered and has a viable apposition for the first time in his life… It is a hot kitchen…

Ping,
Try not to let your optimism run away with you.
One debate does not a president make. Ask John Kerry.
Willard is just as much a failed candidate as he was a week ago. He still needs to win five of six swing states and it just ain’t in the cards.
But keep pitchin’ maybe you will walk in a run.
The climate deniers are like this now, up is down, failing is good, teachers are bad, death is life.
It’s like the 30 years war. Stupid never quits , and it never ever sleeps.

All that aid we gave to Egypt, we gave to their army. Which is the number one force in their economy. They got a cut, when you rode a camel.
They are now, the largest wheat importers in the world. Their wheat, once fed Roman.

I am sick to death of your principals, your theories, your world view. You believe that capitalism will save us all, I believe, it will strip the Earth of every last thing, that can be turned into a dollar.

Want to think clearly, as we leave South central Asia , we now know that the Afgans are sitting on the largest pile of rare earth minerals on Earth.
They wipe their ass with corn cobs, but they are sitting on the IPhone 10′s raw materials.
How do you cut this deal ? No one ever beat them . They are like everyone, they will never quit. If bombing is the answer, then Britain & Germany would have fell.
Only after a land army, attacked and destroyed everything on the ground, did Germany quit.
I find ever more amazing, that the right wing believes that if we can just shoot a few more bullets, our problems will be better.
If there’s one thing this world needs, it’s more and better bullets.
That’s our real problem, we still can’t make enough bullets.

Old Sea -
When this comes to your island , you will loose your drinking water first.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121001191531.htm
As the sea rises , it over takes the fresh water ‘lenses’ that island peoples use for drinking .
This means Chris Matthew’s summer house will be reduced in price , because fresh water from the grid, doesn’t flow from the pipes.
As the oceans rise, they will ruin all the small fresh water places we all drank from . And that will come first .
As the oceans rise, the first souls to leave their islands will go long before the sea takes their home. They will leave because there is no more fresh water.
Dr. Hansen says the Vineyard will see 3 meters of sea level rise, in 88 years.
About 9 feet. See what I mean about drinking water supplies on islands.
Dr. Hansen has made mistakes , everything is much more worse than his forecasts, from 30 years ago.
Every man and woman that is watching this, is sunned by the pace of the change we are seeing now.
Here’s the catch , that 9 feet, we could see 7 feet of that in just 5 years .
Everything in the North is melting like a Hershey Bar in your pocket.
There’s a town in Greenland , got themselves a brand new 1,000 year steel and concrete bridge. When the ice cap melted for 5 days this summer, the flood ripped out every trace of that brand new 1,000 year bridge.
Wait till 5 days of melting turns into 30 days of melting . Across the entire ice cap. The insurance people call this a ‘black swan’, I call it the near future.
As a direct result of the Thailand floods last year , the insurance industry is seriously rethinking their whole swan, black & white.
When the Greenlanders rebuild their bridge, the insurance billl on this bridge, will be insane. And nature just slapped a 1.000 year bridge , like it was made from noodles & sugar.
That means you engineer a 5,000 year bridge. Who’s gonna pick up the tab for these engineering problems ?
The large re-insurers in Europe are about to seriously limit what flood insurance they will underwrite, and where they write it.
Now, we all begin learning something about the real price of corn.
