    So Mitt the shit raised 40% of his startup capital for Bain by recruiting Salvadoran death squad financiers and a cocaine smugglers bank for cash. No wonder he doesn’t want anyone looking at his finances.
    He got his money from laundering money from oligarchs and murderers.

    @5: I don’t think it matters for Gov in the primary (just the judges). Top 2 advance regardless. The good news is Inslee pulled this out in a far more conservative election than the general and there are a bunch more KingCo ballots to count where he is winning 2 to 1 (another surprise).

    Ds kicked ass last night. The trick will be not getting complacent for general.

    @Darryl: Hungry for analysis of where the leg looks as of last night (hint).

    The 35th appears to be Ds all around. It’s not close.

    Haigh beat Teatard Griffey 54-46. This is a rematch — Haigh won by just .5% in 2010.

    Ring-Erickson (D) beat her D opponent Davis 28-22. The R (McEwen) got 41%. My candidate was Davis, but I’ll take the apparent general win.

    Sheldon was not up this time for Sen. Sheldon will face Reed (an actual D) for his MasonCo Commissioner seat in the general. This is a rematch and is likely to have the same result, unfortunately.

    @11 “Nobody” isn’t the right word here. The tactic works if “no Democrat” wants the veep to become president. Ryan’s the man, he’s perfect for this job, and the media hype is focusing on him.

    It’s called “impeachment insurance.” Here’s how it works. If you
    know before you’re elected president that you’re going to commit impeachable offenses after getting in office (e.g., Iran-Contra), you pick as your veep someone so odious that even your most ardent enemies won’t dare throw you out of office for fear an Agnew, a Quayle, or a Ryan will become president.

    @12 You may be right on this one–it sounds a little too big for Rove & Co. to find a rug to sweep it underneath. Aside from that, it seems more and more like the only hope the GOP has of winning is to somehow jack their own convention to nominate someone else, or to find a way to super glue Mitt’s mouth shut.

    I believe he meets the definition of those, yes. I also believe he’s not sorry for what he did, and that reform and rehabilitation do not require regret for one’s prior actions.

    @ 26

    I’m not much up on conduct insofar as vetting is concerned, although I suspect there is an assumption on both sides that absolute secrecy is guaranteed, forever.

    It would concern me if someone DID come out and say something about materials provided during vetting.

    It concerns me that Supreme Court deliberations become public knowledge for the same reason. Secrecy minimizes potential for outside influence.

    I think that some things should be secret. If the president finds it necessary to order an assassination, I believe that should be done secretly and should never be divulged. It’s one of the reasons we have a Commander in Chief. If Obama feels the need to drone someone to a state of room temperature, I assume he had a pretty good reason for feeling that way.

    Republican house members are a bunch of fucking bastards.

    Are canned pears the nutritional equivalent of a juicy fruit off the tree? House Republicans seem to think so. And their proposal to tinker with a program that serves fresh fruit and vegetables to children in select schools has touched off the ultimate food fight.

    As Congress debates whether to renew farm legislation, the Senate is pressing to keep the program limited to fresh produce. The House, however, has proposed making room for frozen, canned and dried produce — agitating program supporters and pitting factions of the food industry against one another in a bout of frenetic lobbying.

    Since its creation a decade ago, the tiny program has been distributing free fresh fruit and vegetables as snacks to elementary schools that have a high percentage of low-income children, a group that typically has less exposure to fresh produce and does not consume anywhere near the amount recommended by national dietary guidelines.

    @29 Cereal for the Constipated,
    So let’s wrap this up, shall we?

    In response to Deathfrogg’s comment @4 above about the story that Slick Willard raised money in 1984 in Miami from Salvadoran families associated with death squads and drug running, you trotted out the 2008 McCain/Palin Bill Ayers bit. Then you went just a tad further and admittedly created an unsubstantiated financial tie between Ayers and Barrack Husein Obama. OK.

    If the best you can come up with is false equivalences, well that’s your best.

    But in case you are not old enough to recall, or wise enough to find out, let me give you a little context.

    First off, I have not researched the HuffPo story yet so I’m not defending it. But let’s assume that Slick Willard did go to Miami in 1984 to raise cash for Bain Capital.

    What everyone knew well before 1984 was that if one was willing to launder money, there was lots of drug money in Miami for the taking. Anyone who went to Miami to raise money knew that. You may question this assertion.

    To let you know how prevalent the knowledge of drug money in Miami was in 1984 you can look to pop culture. For example the wildly successful 1983 Al Pacino movie, Scarface. For example, the 1984-89 TV show Miami Vice.

    Cereal, anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knew in 1984 that large amounts of money raised in Miami from non-US nationals was bound to be tainted.

    It is telling that the man who wants to be your president, Slick Willard Rmoney, the man with a Caribbean tax sheltered IRA worth in excess of $20 million (and maybe $100 million!) was so driven to make money that he that he went to drug riddled Miami to get his seed capital, and likely “palled around” with Serial murderers to obtain it.

    2. I was talking about how the federal bureaucracy does it’s job regardless of who’s in office.

    3. There are local programs out there that use local money and local fruits and veggies to feed school kids. Programs that eschew the federal government. The best way to get fresh fruits and veggies to school kids is to do it locally and insulate them and your local communities from the bastards on the right in the house.

    For those that are interested….

    Air cargo figures for the month of June show that the markets are more or less in a “holding pattern”, while industry which normally transports by air waits for some signal as to which direction the economy is heading. The fist half of 2012 was down 2.6% from the same quarter in 2011, but the figures for the last month in that period (June 2012) shows a 1.1% total rise in air cargo volumes.

    A closer look at the June 2012 numbers show that a lot of the legacy players in the game in Europe and China are suffering heavily. with Air France-KLM and Lufthansa showing 8+% drops in volume, and Cathay Pacific showing a 10+% drop. But the gains in June came from the newer Gulf carries such as Etiad and Emirates, which took up the slack and then more so. It’s hard to make sense of these numbers right now.

    A handful of small all-cargo carriers which operated only a few freighters have gone out of business over the past few months. The major legacy carriers can probably hang on for a while longer, but a full year of such losses would be hard to survive.

    One of the things we are definately seeing is the impact of the 777-300 aircraft and it’s incredible belly-load capacity for carrying cargo in addition to passenger luggage. Airlines flying this airplane and accepting air cargo freight to fill the belly are taking over a large amount of the freight market that used to be dominated by cargo-only carriers.

    # 77: I’ve forgotten the specifics (it was a long time ago), but I remember in a court case – I think it was in the Miama area in the 1980’s – where the state tried to introduce a chemist to testify that a suitcase full of $100 bills must have been drug profits because the bills tested positive for cocain residue.

    The defense countered with their own expert who did samples of $100 bills taken at random throughout the area, and testified that a large majority of them tested positively for cocain residue.

    The judge excluded the state’s chemist from testifying.

Rmoney also knew that very large sums of drug tainted money was available for a steep discount. Rather than working hard and getting untainted ca$h, Rmoney cut corners and “palled around” with criminals.

    And that’s relevant because he’s doing the same GD thing in this election. Rmoney is “palling around” with Adelson, a crooked money grubber whose contributions to Rmoney affiliated PACs account for more than 10% of the total contributed.

    Sad state of affairs from my hometown

    “There was a disappointment tonight. I was very embarrassed. I was in this parking lot and there was a man looking for a space to park, and I found a space for him. And I felt badly — he looked like he was sort of in distress. And I said, ‘Sir, here’s a place.’ And he said, ‘That’s a handicapped space.’ I said, ‘Oh I’m so sorry, I saw that Obama sticker and I thought you were mentally retarded.”

    The crowd hollered and clapped, and then Roddey went into the the usual thanks at political events for grassroots supporters of the winning candidate.

    Roddey has long been a vocal supporter of Mitt Romney, even before the GOP presidential field was settled, and has joined GOP voices supporting the state’s strict new voter ID rules — at a Romney event last month he joked he had re-done is will so he could be buried in Philadelphia and vote from the grave.

    “It was clearly not one of Jim’s better jokes,” he said. “While no one can condone a joke made at the expense of the handicapped, I think he was probably caught up in the euphoria of the moment. Jim’s longtime involvement with civic and charitable causes is more indicative of the kind of person he is than one unfortunate, off-color remark.”

    @99 the used colostomy bag,

    How does the WA budget stack up to Slick Willard VP sweepstakes finalist Bobby Jindal‘s?

    BATON ROUGE — With the stroke of its budget-cutting pen, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s administration made a sweeping policy decision against maintaining Louisiana’s system of safety-net hospitals for the poor and uninsured.

    The Jindal administration levied two-thirds of its recent round of $523 million in Medicaid cuts on the LSU network of public hospitals and clinics.


    How does the WA budget compare to Teabagger favorite and one time leading Republican GOP presidential candidate and nation’s longest serving governor, Texas’ Rick Perry?

    Texas Governor Rick Perry is getting set to return to his official residence in downtown Austin after a $25 million rebuilding, even as he asks state agencies to say how they can cut spending 10 percent in the next budget.

    Perry, the former Republican presidential candidate who in 2011 signed a two-year plan that reduced school funding by $5 billion, will decamp this month from a rental home to resume life in the high-security governor’s mansion.

    How does the WA budget compare to that of the state run by the fattest and grossest looking politician since Howard Taft, Ruth’s Chris Christie?

    Last week reality hit: David Rosen, the state’s independent, nonpartisan budget analyst, told legislators that the state faces a $1.3 billion shortfall. How did the governor respond?

    First, by attacking the messenger. According to Mr. Christie, Mr. Rosen — a veteran public servant whose office usually makes more accurate budget forecasts than the state’s governor — is “the Dr. Kevorkian of the numbers.” Civility!
    By the way, even Mr. Christie’s own officials are predicting a major budget shortfall, just not quite as big. And the two big credit-rating agencies, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, have recently issued warnings about New Jersey’s budget situation, which S.& P. called “structurally unbalanced” because of the governor’s optimistic revenue assumptions.

    Yeah, we should be more like them.

    Dayum! Another lie percolating. Remember yesterday? ylbuttspigot called Jody a liar. Another ylbuttspigot premature diarrhea ejaculation!

    Looks like the CBO has scored ObummerCare again. http://cnsnews.com/news/articl.....-obamacare

    A new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report says that under the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare, 30 million non-elderly Americans will remain without health insurance in 2022.

    …

    Currently, accoriding to CBO, there are 53 million uninsured persons in the United States, including uninsured illegal aliens. The CBO estimates that in 2022–8 years after the Affordable Care Act has been fully implemented–30 million people will remain uninsured.

    Butt butt butt we were told this is the greatest thing since sliced bread!

    Uh-oh, looks like the Slick Willard campaign has come upon a tactic to lure likely Obama and ObamaCare supporters to it’s side.

    In response to the accusation that if a worker gets laid off loses his health insurance and can’t afford the care required to keep him or his family alive, the Romney campaign told us today

    “To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care,” Andrea Saul, Romney’s campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News.

    So, Vote for Slick Willard and he and the Republicans will repeal ObamaCare and you can move to Massachusetts.

    With that, I think Slick Willard won the internets today.

Heck, a few more revelations about Miami and El Salvador and before the end of the month the Romney clan could be fleeing America and taking up residence south of the border again.

    Let’s review his previous statement…

    there are some monkeys that you can never change. I never believed he could, so I didn’t fall for it like simple minded people. I got all the change I wanted on the first day of Obama’s Inauguration, it was plenty of change just on the first day.

    As all can see Puddy highlighted the pertinent information. He most definitely called Obummer a monkey.

    Gee rujax, being the HA house neeeeeeeeeegro calling everyone a racist, where are you? MIA! Steve, all I see are the sounds of silence. rhpee6033… no screaming and shouting last night. No calls from any on the HA libtard freakazoids! I guess when you are libtard you can say what you want without any repercussions from your “friends”.

    So when Serial Conservative says something misconstrued as racist it will get a pass from now on. How quaint you libtards are.

    As all can see he thinks most HA freakazoids are simple minded people. Well, on that one point Puddy can agree with gman. Low intelligence voters just like the Tennessee DUMMOCRAPT Party claimed.

    Where is the standard cacophony of libtard screaming when someone calls Obummer a monkey. Oh… wait… gman is one of yours… a libtard! So he gets a pass!

    I used to think all lawyers are evil-doers, suing the beejeepers out of anybody with money. But, in truth, there are lots of lawyers out there engaged in good things like fighting seizures of private property for “public” use, drafting wills and trusts to facilitate the preservation of wealth from one generation to the next, or fighting these ridiculous drug laws and the “Stalinist Enforement Brigade (a.k.a. the DEA).

    Not all lawyers are bad, but there are enough evil trial lawyers out there to tarnish the reputation of good lawyers. If we go to a loser-pay tort system like the Brits, we’d have far less abuse of the legal system by trial lawyers.
