Radioactive on the Saturday OPEN thread

“Perhaps most ridiculous of all is the suggestion that we ‘keep’ our radioactive garbage for the use of our descendants. This ‘solution’, I think, requires an immediate poll of the next 20,000 generations.”

    The republican strategy has been to never admit that they are on the wrong side of an argument no matter how many facts we throw at them. Unemployment rate is below 8%. The economy is expanding. The housing market is on the uptick. The President is a Christian. The President was born in Hawaii. The President called the attack in Benghazi an ‘act of terror.’ No matter what lies the RW propagandists at FoxNews spew; or fact-less screed of the Ghidorah like Rush Limbaugh-Ann Coulter-Glenn Beck; or the more than100 million dollars paid by the republican’s rich surrogates to distort and buy the election – the American people are beginning to catch on. Neither buying nor stealing this election will work. President Obama will lead us forward for the next four years.

    I wonder if Eric Cantor and all the anti FEMA crowd will accept federal help for their districts after Hurricane Sandy devastates the east coast then moves inland?

    I think there will be a lot of Romnesia going around next week.

    Speaking of radioactive news, does anybody have any concerns over the potential disaster in Ohio with the voting machines from this company?

    dave,

    Do you really think Romney would invest in a voting machine company for the purpose of stealing the election? I don’t.

    I think he’d simply hire Karl Rove, tell him, “I don’t want to know,” and leave it to Rove to figure out all the tricks in Ohio. That’s what won the election for Bush in 2004.

  5. dave | October 27, 2012 at 12:47 pm

    No Dan

    I don’t think Romney would invest in a company that provides voting machines for the specific purpose of stealing the election. I do however have serious questions about the ethics of the owners and opoerators of that company who have imporperly donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to his camaign and even served as bundlers for his fundraising efforts.
    Such vilations of common sense and ethical standards by a company which is supposed to be insuring a safe and secure method of electronic voting
    indicates to e that they mght do anything they thought necessary to influence the outcome of a clse election.

    “I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep— now owned by the Italians—is thinking of moving all production to China,” Romney told the crowd.

    Yet there was simply no basis for Romney’s claim, beyond a wildly misinterpreted Bloomberg News article about Chrysler’s plans to open factories in China to make Jeeps for sale in the Chinese market. A Chrysler spokesman mocked the rumor and offered a firm assurance: “Let’s set the record straight. Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China.” Indeed, Romney had the facts exactly reversed, because Chrysler is planning to add 1,100 new jobs in a third shift at its Jeep Cherokee plant in Detroit next week, according to Motor Trend magazine.

    This is an example of a fire bomb thrown by Mitt Romney in his attempt to win Ohio. It is a lie and Mitt Romney knew it was when he said it. This kind of statement needs to stop.

    Chevron Gives $2.5 Million To House Republican Super PAC

    WASHINGTON — Chevron is firmly behind the House Republican majority. The multibillion-dollar oil company’s support is so strong that it has donated $2.5 million to a super PAC working to maintain that majority in the next Congress.

    Chevron’s contribution to the Congressional Leadership Fund is the largest made by a publicly traded company this election cycle to a super PAC.

    The oil and gas industry has long been a Republican Party supporter, consistently sending GOP candidates more than 70 percent of the industry’s campaign contributions. But that support has increased further in the 2012 cycle: Now 90 percent of the industry’s contributions are going to Republican candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

    Ok. I’m cutting and pasting a letter from my oldest friend. I (maybe shouldn’t have)sent her an article from “The Nation” about M.Romney’s investment in an a subsidiary of GM and with his partners sent the jobs overseas. The following is what I got in return:

    You and I will have to agree to disagree on our support for the candidates in the presidential election. I know that no matter what I could send you that was anti-Obama even if it could be proven to be true you would still support Obama. You are a Democrat who will not change, and I am a Republican who will not change!

    I am not interested in socialism or communism; destroying the rich who provide jobs for people and donations for childlren’s hospitals, museums, and other good things; abandoning the Jews and our long time support of them; providing everything free for illegal immigrants no matter from what country they come; entertaining Muslims in the Wlhite House on their “holy day” with taxpayers paying for this while the National Day of Prayer was ignored; reducing government benefits for our military and their survivors under Obamacare ( Aunt Doris Fitzgerald included at age 90) while charging them more for these benefits; and trying to destroy Christianity within this country while encouraging Muslims (who are our enemies) and other religions. These are just a few of the reasons I will never support Obama and the Democrats.

    I have much information that I could send to you against Obama. Most of it checks out true on Snopes I think its called. I have seen a video of Obama addressing a meeting of Muslims and saying that he was born in Kenya but it didn’t matter. Our constitution calls for our president to be born in the United States of America. Also, there is information which has been researched that Obama’s current social security number is the number of a deceased person and is not from Hawaii which is one of the places he has said he grew up. The information goes on and on again much of it documented. Obama is a master of lies and deception.

    I love you and still want us to be friends, but we are on opposite sides when it comes to politics. As far as I know, you and I still have being Christians in common. As Christians, we know that God is in control and that nothing happens that surprises him. He knows everything. He has told us throughout the Bible about the end of the world and what will happen then. Can man harm the world somewhat? Of course, but we will never destroy it. That is in God’s hands. Should we help our fellow man? Of course we should. But the Bible is full of the work eithic, too. Should churches stay out of politics? I believe Jesus was saying “yes” to this question when He replied to the scribes’ and the pharisees’ questions about paying tribute to Caesar, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s

    Supreme Court to hear arguments in case of student who resold books

    By Bill Mears, CNN Supreme Court Producer

    STORY HIGHLIGHTS

    o Case involving student who resold books bought overseas is a major copyright test

    o Supreme Court will consider competing views of law at oral arguments on Monday

    o Copyright appeal is one of the most closely watched business cases this term

    o Stakes could be high for those who buy and sell books, movies, music, art, other goods

    SNIP

    Corporate giants to yard sales

    The legal issue is whether copyrighted works made and purchased abroad can then be bought and sold within the United States without the copyright owner’s permission.

    Yet the stakes could prove enormous for those who buy and sell books, movies, music, artwork, perhaps even furniture, electronics, automobiles, and clothing — anything that may be considered “intellectual property.”

    Storefront and at-home secondary retailers, libraries, artistic venues, even the local garage sale could be implicated.

    Pick your celebrity president

    The road to the White House can be a long and lonely one, so if you can get there with a little help from your friends, the better. And if those friends happen to be world-class celebrities, you’re surely on to a winner.

    The celebrity endorsement has been a staple of presidential politics for almost a century, from Mary Pickford in 1920, to Clint Eastwood in 2012. But what if the tables were turned, and the celebrities themselves were candidates for the highest office in the land?

    We have gathered runners and riders from across the celebrity spectrum – from sports stars to celebrity chefs – for a more glittering election in 2012.

    I’ve not commented much in the last two days. The reason is that I have been on the road. I think I’ve said before that my wife works with special needs children in the public schools here. She’s done that her entire career. Earlier this year she made the decision to retire at the end of this school year. Thursday she took time to visit a regional office of Social Security to check that out and begin the process of starting to receive those benefits next summer. Yesterday, she & I traveled to Indianapolis so that she could officially begin the process of filing for and receiving retirement through the Indiana state retirement fund.

    I have to admit, eventhough my wife & I have discussed this stage in our lives several times in the last few years, I’m having difficulty. She’s been at this since 1969 with some time off for child bearing and rearing. I still carry a picture of her from one of our early dates at the Three Thieves Restaurant in Washington, DC.

    It seems like only yesterday that we were beginning our lives together. However, these last two days reminded me that its been 42 years.

    Now I have to start thinking about my retirement. :)

    And yet you nuts are silent about the hundreds of millions of free advertising and help the MSM gives 0bama. For example, how many millions is it worth to completely airbrush the Benghanzi scandal without demanding any answers here at election time?

    How many millions was it worth for Candy Crowley to stop Romney’s Benghazi questions in their tracks? How much was it worth the mods to help Democrats in all four debates?

    How much is it worth for Dan to run only anti-Romney stuff on his blogs?

    Let’s get back to the realm of facts:

    “The ascendancy of the U.S. capital markets” had yielded “enhanced stability of the U.S. banking system… more jobs and higher wages… less frequent and milder [recessions}… Later in the article: “The capital markets have helped make the housing market less volatile… ” Next, “Credit crunches… are a thing of the past… ” and my personal favorite, “The revolution in housing finance has also… been important in making the economy less cyclical.” ~Top Romney economic adviser Glenn Hubbard 2004

    I am tired of hearing RWers grouse that there is some kind of conspiracy theory regarding the recent decline is gas prices. According to the numbskulls who are espousing this, OBAMA is lowering gas prices in advance of the election, in order to “buy” votes.

    And I would like to praise Suzie for standing up to those crazy freakish RWers who are talking this BS. Thank you, Suzie, for pointing out that:

    1) the oil companies are in control of the prices of gasoline, NOT the president; and

    2) that they absolutely don’t support him in any way.

    Observations these past couple of days. We drove the 460 corridor to the coast and back in a 24-hour period and while, as expected, I saw more Romney than Obama signs, I saw more Obama than I expected AND I saw more on the way back than going. As if a bunch had gone up in a 24-hour period. Or maybe the north side of 460 is more Obama than the south side. I was particularly surprised at the number in Prince Edward County, given, well, you know.

    In another trip into North Carolina, I noticed that at least down 220 and into the general Greensboro area, signs for local candidates predominate. Much lower percentage of Romney/Obama signs than in Virginia.

    I also saw my first Goode signs, including a handful as far away as the Windsor area.

    considered a threat by DHS and cannot expect support or justice from the

    Confederacy ruled by big government

    By: CHARLES F. BRYAN JR. |
    Published: October 28, 2012

    It was a central government that incurred massive debt while imposing heavy taxes on its citizenry. It had a virtual monopoly on foreign trade. It maintained de facto control over raw materials, labor, transportation systems and much of the manufacturing sector. It mushroomed into a huge bureaucracy to keep these controls in effect.

    Was it Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal or perhaps a country under socialist rule? In reality, it was the Confederate States of America.

    One of the Civil War’s great ironies is that the Confederacy was formed with the belief that states’ rights were supreme; yet the new government ran roughshod over that very principle.

    #47 suzie (and Bush) should be such a laughingstock. Clinton is highly regarded around the world and the driving force behind organizations using tens of billions to help hundreds of millions needy people. Meanwhile, Romney can’t run far enough from the embarrassment that’s Bush even four years after he left office.

    She/he couldn’t or he/she would have long ago dissipated into putrid air not thin air.

    Yes Clinton…the guy who beat “Bush’s dad” like a redheaded stepchild.

    #50: dobbs, think about just how much “A” would have to be there in the first place for it take so long to “LM_O”

    No doubt the RTEB is struggling with participants on the Round Table blog. It is true that the moderators are inconsistent and confusing, but it is readily apparent from here that right wingers simply and literally cannot discuss or debate civilly. The few left there trying are always whining about the moderators, just like Suzie does. Blaming the refs for your loss consistently, just might mean you are a sore loser.

    I will not abandon the blog, because I enjoy all three (RT, DC, BRC), but thoughtful, civil, capable right wingers would be a very rare find, there or here.

    “All citizens if harmed by the coming storm have a right to expect equal treatment relative to aid and assistance by FEMA”
    Comment by Leon — October 28, 2012 @ 9:52 am

    You mean like the Bush administration’s treatment of victims after Hurricane Katrina? People left on roof tops, crammed into an arena in the hot sun with mo bathroom facilities, water, or organization? Like, “Heck of Job, Brownie”? – Boy what a high bar that group set…

    BTW
    “…the budgets assembled by Mr. Ryan and warmly embraced by Mitt Romney severely cut spending for emergency preparedness, exactly the kind of money needed in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and scores of other states for this and future storms.

    Between 2010 and 2012, House Republicans forced a reduction of 43 percent in the primary grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that pay for disaster preparedness. That is $1.8 billion that will not be available for evacuation equipment and supplies, communications gear that lets first responders speak to one another, and training exercises. (House Republicans tried to cut $354 million more in this year’s homeland security spending bill, but Democrats restored the money in a conference with the Senate.) ” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/28/opinion/the-storm-again.html

    “My facebook friend and original klatsch member …”

    Oooooo….ORIGINAL klatsch member! Does that mean she gets to wear the funny hat with the gold tassel and bang the gavel every now and then?

  58. Kristen | October 28, 2012 at 7:34 pm

    When I see “klatsch”, I envision those gatherings of women in red hats and purple feather boas.

    Contrasuzie:

    “Oooooo….ORIGINAL klatsch member!”

    It’s Suzie’s equivalent of OG. Or, perhaps a small gossip club for 60-something narcissistic white female bigots who have ONLY one another because no one else can stand them. Yeah, I’m betting on that one.

    I have know a couple of those ladies and they would never associate with the likes of Suzie.

    I’m betting of totally imaginary friends.

    Rather another Shakespearean type of “protest.”

    The more repetitive, passionate and fervent her fantasies, the greater likelihood the cause is a suppression of contrary facts and the subsequent confirmation of the (actual) truth.

    hey ron may,regarding post # 7,

    you act as though you are either sooo such a lib partisan…, or, not smart enough…, to grasp the idea that just about all politicians are hypocrits at times convenient to them.

    Frank,

    You are beginning to make me think you are SuzieQ posting from a different computer or her/his spouse posting from the office. The truth is that both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have hypocrisy down pat.

  64. Frank | October 29, 2012 at 8:13 pm

    Hey ron may, here’s another one from obuma:

    here’s the FLIP…..”I will never question the patriotism of others in this campaign”–Sen. obama, June 2008.

    here’s the FLOP…..”The way Bush has done it over the past eight years is….(he) added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt to pay back…That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic”.–Sen. Obama, July 2008.

    Just about ALL politicians, ron may, are hypocrites….including your guy obuma…even a lib like you should be able to see that…unless you’ve been taking more than your fair share of dud’s kool-aid these days. sheesh, you even try to pass yourself off as a “moderate” republican. Right, you and brooks. HaHa!
