(Washington, DC, 11/15) The bitterness of the neocons knows no limit.  They’re still having tantrums after being denied the unchallenged ability to pillage and plunder at will (and at our expense).  Never mind that the public doesn’t want to hear it.  The Congressional Republicans are jumping up and down over their big question:  When did President Obama know about the affair between General Petraeus and Mrs. Broadwell? Talk about a misguided salvage operation.  Their inquiries will spark some questions that they won’t want asked. (Image)

The real questions concern the behavior and motivation of General Petraeus in the aftermath of the murder of the United States ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, on September 11, 2012.

When did General Petraeus know the sequence of events that preceded the murder of United States Ambassador Stevens, indicating the likely motivation for the murder?

The Petraeus CIA provided inaccurate information about events on the ground to the Obama Administration, particularly to President Obama and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. Did they know it was inaccurate?

If the Petraeus CIA mislead or withheld information from the White House or allowed that to happen, was it in the service of the Romney campaign or those clamoring for an attack on Iran? Read the rest of this entry »

Repblicans to 47% – You are “parasites”

Sep 19

Michael Collins

These are possibly the most cruel and offensive words by a candidate’s surrogate in any election that I can recall.

“There are makers and takers, there are producers and there are parasites,” she said. Americans can distinguish between those who have produced and paid in through no fault of their own and because of Obama’s horrible polices who cannot get a job or are underemployed. That’s what the campaign is about.“  Mary Matalin September 19, 2012

Who are the 47%?

About half of those folks are basically exempt from federal income taxes because they are low-income and also may have large families, according to the Tax Policy Center, a project of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution.

The other half are exempted because of other provisions in the tax code, including seniors who live off Social Security or people who were able to zero out their federal income tax liability with itemized deductions such as charitable donations, or tax code features such as the child tax credit.  Life Inc on Today

So when to Mitt and Mary and all the rest of the callous, uninformed elitists apologize?

Never!  We are nothing to them.  They just need enough of us to swallow their fear tactics of divide and conquer and they’ll implement the final beat down on the citizens of this country.

Romney, ROFL, please stop, you’re killing me — middle class $200,000 a year

Sep 15

Posted by Michael Collins in Election 2012, Romney | 1 Comment

This guy is doing performance art. It’s a variation on Andy Kaufman’s angry at the audience routine. (or is it real?). It’s hard to tell what’s real. Romney is supposed to be the data-driven candidate. Well, here’s Mitt interviewed by George Stephanopoulos via The Young Turks:

“Is $100,000 middle-income?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“No, middle-income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less,” Romney responded.

Romney doesn’t know where the center is.  Here’s a chart on median income for 2009.  Only 21% of the households have an income above $100,000 and that’s a $100,000 short of the middle class.   Romney’s middle class must be really small.  At $100,000 a year in household income, you are in the 94th percentile for household income.

Totalitarianism in the US: An Accident Waiting to Happen

Listening to Paul Ryan’s speech at the Republican National Convention, I couldn’t place where I had come across something quite like this before. Then it struck me – Pravda! I used to subscribe to Pravda in high school and college, first to learn Russian, and second, to pursue a college program in Soviet studies. Pravda was a newspaper that specialized in the Big Lie – the Five Year Plan was always ahead of schedule, Soviet industrial capabilities exceeded that of any other country, people were starving on streets all across America. The newspaper was a non-stop stream of lies, just as Paul Ryan’s speech was studded with Big Lies – lies that were easily disprovable, such as Barack Obama did nothing about the Simpson-Bowles recommendations to reduce the budget deficit (Paul Ryan didn’t mention he voted against these recommendations when the House killed any chance of enacting them); or that Obama made it easier for people to live off welfare (the President altered the enrollment rules of welfare at the request of Republican governors); or the Romney favorite – Obama cut over $700 billion of Medicare benefits for individuals (the cuts were imposed on hospitals and insurance companies, not beneficiaries, and Romney has the same cuts in his economic plan).  (Image:  Wikipedia) Read the rest of this entry »

“Tampa has sort of transformed into a police state” NO KIDDING!

Aug 28

Posted by Michael Collins in Big Money, Censorship, Election 2012, Financial Crisis, Romney | Comments off


Here you go.  The Mayor and City Council of Tampa are all Democrats.  But there’s a national security state consensus of the “elect,” Three thousand militarized police making sure of what?  Caged protesters escorted by armed guards:  is this why we elected a constitutional law professor as President.  What more could the Republicans want?  It’s their script from the Houston Plan to the Patriot Act, both parties seek overwhelming power over citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Turnout the lights, the party’s over

(Washington, DC) Don Meredith blessed us with that song. It’s just about time to sing it regarding the 2012 Presidential Election. (Graph source)

Why? Because Mitt Romney’s pick for vice president, the ultra-fit Representative Paul Ryan, is tightly associated with a make no mistake about it misogynist of the very worst kind. Republican Representative Todd Akin of Missouri is running in the Republican primary to oppose incumbent Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO). At least he was until he revealed just how warped he really is at in an August 19 interview with Charles Jaco on the Fox local outlet in St. Louis, Missouri.

Jaco: In the case of rape, should that [abortion] be legal or not?

Rep. Todd Akin: … from what I understand from doctors, if it’s a legitimate rape, the female bodies have ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let’s assume that maybe that doesn’t work or something, I think there should be some punishment but the punishment should in the rapist… (Charles Jaco, KTVI Fox, St. Louis, MO)

This isn’t Ryan speaking but the slime may well stick to Ryan. Romney’s number two is cosponsor of pieces of legislation with Rep. Akin. The Sanctity of Human Life Act equates a fertilized egg with a human being. Any procedure, birth control or abortion that ends the viability of the egg would be considered homicide (see Center for American Progress). Ryan isn’t casual about this issue. In a joint press release today, the Romney campaign clarified that Ryan opposes abortion in the case of rape. Romney does not. Read the rest of this entry »
