No. But don't we have the right to know?
The right to know if we are a great country? :dontgetit
Or the right to audit the Fed? I'm all for that.

You all got his back, boo?

In other news, there's a new core constituency all sides should pander to. DJ's. And with that, Obama is one step ahead of the game. Introducing... DJ's for Obama

My favorite part: "One, know the issues, and learn about them. Form your own opinion. Two, go with Obama."

Haize, what are you doing reading infowars? Did the people living under the earth kidnap you or something? :shock:

I found this little nugget. So typical of conservative hypocrites.

Q. You said you canceled the presidential civil forum because of the negativity and a larger issue. What is that?

A. It is the crumbling of our constitution’s first guaranteed freedom: the freedom of religion. This issue is more significant and has far greater implications for America’s future. People have forgotten that America was founded by people who came here to escape religious persecution. Freedom of religion is the first freedom mentioned in the Bill of Rights – before freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble, and every other freedom.
And, naturally, what does Warren do because he's so upset about the censorship of religion? Oh, censor himself by cancelling his presidential faith forum. This is absolutely disgusting, and Warren has no right to complain when he does such things as this. You reap what you sow.

Secondly, I'm tired of all this :furious :furious about civility and politics. It's complete and utter garbage, and smacks of the fallacy that we as humans naturally believe everything is worse than it's ever been. I would love for these sorts of dopes to go back and read the personal attacks against Andrew Johnson.

Ever since the Ryan announcement, Romney has seen a slight bump up in the polls in the battleground states.

However, I would add those are just disgruntled Republicans finding their way back to the herd.

You should read the letter Warren wrote explaining this and you might understand a bit more.

Not at all surprising. Thanks for posting that Mallet. It just shows how low they will go.

For those who don't have me on ignore.....
So who is the 'Surprise' speaker going to be on Thursday. Besides the usual suspects of Palin and Trump, here are a couple of names that I thought were interesting
Joe Lieberman. Someone of his stature as an ''independent Democrat" would appeal to Reagan Democrats.
Clint Eastwood. He has already endorsed Romney and who can argue with him. Having a Hollywood type of that magnitude on your side wouldn't be to shabby. Plus, for those who don't pay attention to politics, seeing Eastwood supporting Romney would influence their vote
Tim Tebow. Its Florida. He has broad based appeal high Q rating and his parents were missionaries. Plus it would further innoculate Romney for the upcoming left wing attack on Mormonism.

Knowing Romney, and establishment Republicans, it's probably some Democrat.

Liberman wouldn't be a surprise. He's every Republican's favorite Democrat just because he believes in invading Muslim countries. Even though his view on abortion is absolutely disgusting, and he's even further to the left of Obama on most social issues.

He's an absolute hack, except for the war thing. Which I myself don't support.

He's a hack. You are a blow hard. Go get some coffe together!
Lieberman does have cross appeal though, but don't know if he has a big enough buzz. Now if it was Bill Clinton.....

Sorry, I did kind of turn into a blowhard. I just don't like Lieberman.

I can't quite understand this speech by Mrs. Romney. Its fine but why are we accepting the premise that women hate Republicans?

I was goofing. Please dont report me to the Monitor!
Loved the line 'Mitt doesn't like to talk about all the people he's helped. He sees being able to help people as a privilege'
The War on Women is a Dem talking point. What better way to counter it then with someone with MS and a cancer survivor who raised 5 boys?

It's sort of like the old, "Hey, do you still enjoy beating your wife?" fallacy. By answering the question, you automatically imply that it might be true, even if it isn't.

I just think its just such garbage. Like the whole "let's get the Hispanics" thing. Why don't we attempt to appeal to all lovers of liberty, regardless of ethnicity? Latinos are no different than anybody else.

'It doesn't matter how we got here, there is enough blame to go around. It doesn't matter how we got here, it's what we do now!"
'we need politicians who care more about doing something then being something'

I have never seen someone more embarrassed and uncomfortable with public praise then Mitt Romney. It baffles me. We seemed more elated with his wife getting the adulation then he does with him getting it.
