– Yay for parks; boo for the accompanying picture that I can’t put my finger on it but creeps me out.

– No question about why these creep me out.

– The attempt to elicit sympathy for Romney by anecdotal proxy is a poor enough of a play. The decision to do so via an anecdote about a tragic car accident in a debate with Joe Biden means you’re either a sociopath or possessed of an idiocy of immeasurable power.

– Biblical family.

– Merry Christmas, Yakima.

– I would like to see some random questions from children in the next debate.

    I didn’t think it sounded correct last night. Let Joe Be Joe.

    Biden said. “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, at the same time, put a prescription drug plan on the credit card, a trillion dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.”

    “I was there, I voted against them,” Biden continued. “I said, no, we can’t afford that.”

    Then Sen. Biden voted for the Afghanistan resolution on Sept. 14, 2001 which authorized “the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.”

    And on Oct. 11, 2002, Biden voted for a resolution authorizing unilateral military action in Iraq, according to the Washington Post.

    Yeah, that’s probably why we won’t hear The One discuss the tragic car accident that claimed his father’s life.

    Well, maybe the fact that dad was drunk-driving and hit a tree will factor into his decision not to mention it as well. But I digress.

    Obama up 7 in VA:

    http://www.mclaughlinonline.co.....-10-12.pdf

    Just fucking with Lib Despair’s mind. Romney’s up 7 in VA, and he’s up 11 with independents in that state.

    Add this to the FL poll data yesterday, and Suffolk isn’t seeming so silly for calling FL, VA, NC for Romney.

    Darryl’s right. Suffolk hasn’t been polling in those areas, not much, recently. But I’m sure pollsters talk. Why poll in an area that’s already been painted one color or the other?

    Cap’n Crunch sez…

    But I’m sure pollsters talk. Why poll in an area that’s already been painted one color or the other?

    New York Magazine sez, interviewing reputable pollsters…

    “I think all three of those states are still toss-ups,” Public Policy Polling’s Tom Jensen told us. “We’ve already polled Virginia since the debate and Obama was up by 3. I don’t agree with his assessment, and I don’t know why he would have made it without even conducting any polling after the debates.”

    Gary Langer, who runs the ABC News/Washington Post poll, quipped tartly, “With that kind of foresight, we should find out who he likes in the fifth at Aqueduct.”

    SurveyUSA CEO Jay Leve was harsher. “This guy from Suffolk is obviously a jackass,” he said.

    I’m sure pollsters talk.

    They sure do.

    Ouch.

    You keep lying, and the commercials practically write themselves.

    I wonder if Lib Despair is still holding out for the formal investigation so we can learn whether Benghazi was an out-of-hand protest or a terrorist attack.

    The video footage also supports the accounts of four diplomatic-security officers who were at the Benghazi compound and who initially responded to the attack. On Sept. 17, these officers told State Department investigators in formal briefings that there was no spontaneous protest the night of the attack, U.S. officials tell The Daily Beast. This information was what led the State Department to conclude there was no protest at the consulate on the day of the attacks, according to these officials.

    Nonetheless, White House spokesman Jay Carney continued to say until Sept. 20 that the Benghazi assault resulted from a protest over the Internet film.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/a.....ttack.html

  10. 10

    The State Department said flatly this week they never thought it related to the video, they always thought it was terrorism. The State Department said they asked for the security. The Ambassador’s own diary says that he had asked for the security. You want to talk about trust? Having an American ambassodor and three other Americans killed while the President lies to you is a pretty big question.

    Only place it’s getting bigger is in the self-contained universe of Faux News and right wing talk radio. Nobody else cares.

    Honestly, if we couldn’t make people care about Bush ignoring 9/11 warnings, do you really think you can make hay out of this? You are grasping at straws.

  16. 16

    @ 13

    Apparently people other than Fox and AM radio are asking questions, Rael:

    White House: Obama and Biden were never aware of requests for more Benghazi security

    Vice President Joseph Biden speaks only for himself and President Barack Obama, and neither man was aware that U.S. officials in Libya had asked the State Department for more security before the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a top White House official told The Cable.

    http://thecable.foreignpolicy......i_security

    Since the White House is insulating Biden and Obama, who does that leave as the ultimate authority?

    Hillary.

    No, this ain’t going away. Not if Romney’s got a chance to make Obama throw Hillary under the bus in front of 70 million viewers Tuesday night.

    And you KNOW Hillary and Bill aren’t going quietly.

  17. 17

    @ 15

    Who is Thomas R. Pickering?

    My first thought is he’s from a Mississippi political family. I think I read he’s leading some Benghazi review committee set up by State.

    Haven’t googled him yet.

  24. 24

    @19 Cap’n Kornflake,

    For someone who is so concerned about finding out the facts and assigning blame as necessary to ensure such things do not reoccur like they did in Benghazi, you sure don’t know too much.

    The distinguished Ambassador Pickering has been asked by the Obama administration to lead the investigation in to what happened in Benghazi.

    As Vice President Biden said last night, “Tom Pickering, a leading diplomat in the — from the Reagan years, who is doing an investigation as to whether or not there were any lapses, what the lapses were, so that they will never happen again.”

  26. 26

    @ 24

    Well, MBS, that’s all well and good. From what I have read the report is expected sometime in early Spring. Problem is, the election’s in less than four weeks.

    So ‘scuse me if I prefer to review facts available now, rather than waiting until April to learn that some career diplomat has rubber-stamped what we already know.

    We were hit by an Al Queda affiliate on 9/11. There was no video stirring up the locals. It was a planned, coordinated, armed attack.

    And State, for whatever reason, chose to ignore an awful lot of information that clearly indicated that Libya is not a safe place for our diplomats.

    Pickering? Too little, too late. CNN and Eli Lake are running with this. Let’s see what they can tell us before November 6th, while it matters.

  27. 27

    @16 Cap’n Kornflake – serially abusing those who serve and protect this country and it interests said:

    Hillary.

    No, this ain’t going away. Not if Romney’s got a chance to make Obama throw Hillary under the bus in front of 70 million viewers Tuesday night.
    And you KNOW Hillary and Bill aren’t going quietly.

    You did not seem to understand that the Obama administration takes the attack that killed four Americans, including the US Ambassador to Libya, very seriously and has appointed a distinguished career State Department veteran who has served both Republican and Democratic administrations with honor to investigate the attack and how it could have happened; Ambassador Pickering.

    So, it comes as no surprise to me that you don’t know who announced the appointment, Sec of State, Hillary Clinton.

    You see, asshole, there is one side which takes its responsibilities seriously, and there is YOU and your side which has done nothing but attempt to make political hay on the deaths of Americans doing what you have never done and will never do because you don’t have the nutsack – serve and protect!

  28. 28

    @ 24

    After what DOJ did when Fast and Furious first surfaced, do you really think you have any credibility with an official investigation regarding Benghazi?

    You don’t.

    This is a BFD. It’s why the moderator led with it last night. It’s why it will be front and center on Tuesday night. We are projecting weakness, and those who would do us harm are taking note of it.

  29. 29

    @ 27

    So, it comes as no surprise to me that you don’t know who announced the appointment, Sec of State, Hillary Clinton.

    Um, I knew he was appointed by State @ 17. Does it matter that I didn’t specify that he was appointed by Hillary?

    MBS, Hillary’s reputation is at stake if she’s going to have a shot at dethroning Romney in 2016. I really don’t give much credence to a report that has been requested by Hillary, about a major fuck-up that may have her fingerprints all over it.

  31. 31

    At least one newspaper in OH isn’t joining you @ 27 on your knees before The One, MBS:

    Preventable tragedy
    Obama administration can’t spin its way out of blame for Benghazi

    Even as military and intelligence officials flatly stated the obvious as early as Sept. 13 — that the attack was a planned terrorist operation — the statements of those closest to the president, including Press Secretary Jay Carney, vacillated. On Sept. 18, Carney said, “Our belief … is it was the video that caused the unrest in Cairo… and that precipitated some of the unrest in Benghazi and elsewhere.”

    By Sept. 20, finally, Carney was declaring, “It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”

    What is equally evident is that, despite repeated concerns by diplomats working in Libya, the administration shortchanged security. And when the worst happened, it wasn’t willing to tell the truth to the American people.

    And as of Wednesday, administration officials continued to insist that the consulate had adequate security.

    http://www.dispatch.com/conten.....agedy.html

    Ohio’s an important battleground state in the presidential election this year, isn’t it, MBS?

    Oh, yes. This will get worse.

  32. 32

    @29 Cap’n Kornflake,

    “if she’s going to have a shot at dethroning Romney in 2016”

    You want to up your wager with me that Slick Willard will win this election to a Rmoney respectable amount of $10K, big talker?

    No? That yellow belly of yours giving you trouble?

  34. 34

    For the enjoyment of Team Victory here at HA, the OMG Liberal! Charles P. Pierce has this nugget

    On domestic policy, his alleged wheelhouse, he was vague, untruthful, and he walked right into a haymaker he should have seen coming from a mile off, when he started bloviating about Biden’s role in the “failed” stimulus program, only to have Biden slap him around with Ryan’s own requests for stimulus money for his home district back in Wisconsin.

  37. 37

    I know Steve has been pounding our mentally incapacitated Cereal troll for months to post why anyone should vote for Slick Willard, International Harvester. Well Cap’n, I’m going to answer part of that question for you.

    Slick Willard is a genius businessman from the private sector, so he knows how to manage money!

    Wait. What?

    Mitt Romney’s unusual in-house ad strategy

    Voters in Columbus, Ohio, saw 30-second television ads for both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney while watching “Wheel of Fortune” on their CBS affiliate over three days in September. For Obama’s team, the order per spot cost $500. For Romney’s, the price tag on the order was more than five times steeper at $2,800 per ad.

    Pure f*cking genius businessman Slick Willard is. He pays 5 times as much for the same thing as the Community Organizer.

  38. 38

    “I bet you would love to know whether he swallows or not.”

    “the Republican closet is well known to be crammed”

    For some strange reason Bob, obviously in fits of projection, is always talking about knee pads. There have been other unusual comments as well. And now this. My guess is that he’s hiding in a closet and won’t come out. Something to do with self-loathing, no doubt.

  39. 39

    @ 38

    Whatever you say, Doctor Steve.

    If Romney were president and a major fuckup occurred two months before his re-election opportunity, would HA be OK with the naming of some blue-ribbon commission, whose report would be expected the following Spring?

    No?

    Then why the dismissal in this case?

  40. 40

    Bob’s given us five reasons why he lives in a closet, but he can’t seem to come up five reasons why a Romney presidency would be good for America.

  41. 41

    @39 Serially Misremembering things,

    A major security fuckup? You mean like September 11th 2001, the deadliest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor?

    Would we, Democratic law makers and the American public be OK with a blue-ribbon commission to investigate it? Like …. the 9/11 Commission set up over a year later?

    No! Obama appointing a commission to investigate weeks after the attack is a historic OUTRAGE!

  42. 42

    “Then why the dismissal in this case?”

    If you don’t mind Doctor Steve asking, Mr. Self-loather, just how many times a day do black helicopters buzz around over your head and how long has this been going on?

  43. 43

    @ 39

    No, not like 9/11/2001, but you would think that the original 9/11 experience would have us on our toes on the anniversaries, since we know that anniversaries mean something to the terrorists.

    Lemme put it this way. On 9/11/12, you’ll sure expect it of President Romney.

  44. 44

    In all seriousness, Bob, your concern for US embassy security is quite touching.

    How about you give me your address and I’ll send a town car over to pick you up to take you to the nearest Marine Corps recruiting office so you can enlist today? You up for it?

  45. 45

    @43 Serially Mentally ill-equipped,

    On September 11th 2012, candidate (not president!) Rmoney did do something about the deadly attack on our people in Benghazi.
    On 9/11/12, Rmoney jumped to the podium to attempt to make political hay on the event.

    And he’s been doing it ever since.

    So you’re overweight and drink too much, huh? Like that’s a big surprise to Doctor Steve. No wonder you won’t stand up to me like a man. You’re too fucking fat and drunk to even get off the sofa.

  53. 53

    “Hey, gotta run”

    As usual, you keep posting comments. Every. Damned. Time. What a spineless, fat, drunken, gout-ridden fucktard you must be, Bob.

    Dayum, I leave for a while and FlubScout goes bonkers nutzo.

    Now we have CubScout covering for the Benghazi fiasco? Apparently this isn’t going to go away, escpecially with CarneyBarker on record and ABC’s Jake Tapper making CarneyBarker reiterate what he originally said.

    For your reference Flubscout, Puddy placed the LIBERAL, REPEAT LIBERAL British press articles which said this was a terrorist attack not some video movie issue. It was Obummer and Clinton who rushed to judgment over some video. Now we have this congressional hearing video FlubScout.

  57. 57

    So FlubScout… let’s refresh your memory so you can see the lies and disinformation being put forth by your vaulted leader…

    This is gonna hurt now!

    Of course the truth hurts the FlubScout. Facts and libtards are like oil and water, respectively! Facts float, water sinks!

    Remember actional intelligence. We learned they had that intelligence way before Susan Rice went on the Sunday shows. Sept 11th was a Tuesday, Sept 16 was a Sunday!

    I’m 6’0″ 197, Doctor Steve. How much should I lose? As far as cutting back, you’re right, on the beer, anyway.

    Beer is high in purines, increases production of uric acid, and interferes with its excretion, so it’s a triple whammy.

    Mostly it’s probably because I worked a lot on the property this weekend and drank far too little. Probably pushed up my uric acid level to the point I became clinical.

    I wish I could act like a Dem and blame others for my woes. Nope. It’s a diet and fluid management issue. My fault, and mine only.

    I hate to say it. The death of 4 Americans in Benghazi mean nothing to me. Social Security and Medicare mean a lot more. War is War. Thousands of lives lost to Afghanistan and Iraq wars and we have to focus on the four lost in Benghazi, boo hoo hoo.

  69. 69

    @64 Cap’n Kornflake,

    Having misled your life to such a degree that in the 21st century you’re belabored by gout, you really should retire from arguments.

    Barrack Husein Obama is serving right now. During his younger days his service was to his community as a Community Organizer. Have you forgotten?
    Obama has never been a saber rattler like you and the chicken hawks.

    I’m not even going to go into Sec of State Clinton. That’s just too stupid.

    Regarding “We’re entering an era in which military service will be in the background of fewer and fewer of our candidates for office“, I suppose you think this is true because there are so few Veterans after 11 years of war?

    Gosh, you are thick as a brick!

    The death of 4 Americans in Benghazi mean nothing to me.

    Hey, let me clue you in on a little secret, Gman. They mean nothing to Obama, either.

    Regarding “We’re entering an era in which military service will be in the background of fewer and fewer of our candidates for office“, I suppose you think this is true because there are so few Veterans after 11 years of war?

    Well, I would attribute it to no draft in 40 years and the rise of women in the political arena, but you did bring up a perspective I hadn’t considered. We’ve had, what, 2000 deaths in Afghanistan, and 4000+ in Iraq? That’s 6,000 deaths out of around 180,000 troops that have served there. So, only around 174,000 veterans left to run for office.

    Slim pickins’, indeed.

    Look at how many guys we lost in Vietnam. We still had plenty of veterans in office after that.

  73. 73

    Since Krugman won’t touch them in a follow-up…

    Republican could care less about the lives of Americans living in America. You mean to tell me they care about the 4 dead in Benghazi, please tell me more.

    You care more about a fetus before coming out of a vagina, then after it comes out. You are a bunch of hypocrites. After birth, you could give two shits about a baby.

    Well, then I’ll digress as well and remind you of the time Laura Bush ran over her boyfriend and killed him on a deserted crossroad in the Texas Badlands.

    And, unless you can find some heroic effort that Laura Welch made at that time to save his life, I’ll thank you to stop mentioning Chappaquiddick every time you get a chance.

    Indeed, my game has suffered of late. And there are no doubt some here who wonder why I hang out with you! I’m sure my Dear Ms. Wingnut gets it, if no one else. Speaking of which, Darryl got in touch with me the other day and it’s possible that you and Max will receive my contact info soon. I hope we three get in touch and that we can get together one of these days. Best wishes.

  77. 77

    @74 Gman, you nailed it. Gekko/Galt are only ‘interested’ in the Benghazi attack because they believe they can use it against the administration to further their election possibilities.

    That’s obviously pathetic, but more interestingly it brings the lie to their very hypothesis.
    As Biden showed with Ryan last night, Gekko/Galt have no foreign policy plans they will admit to that are in any way different from the current administration.
    And furthermore, a Commander-In-Chief should have some grasp of strategy. Romney’s best shot at winning has always been the state of the economy and how voters perceive it.

    Choosing to go down the foreign policy road at this point in the cycle, less than 30 days left, without being able to present anything different, let alone better, is prima facia that Slick Willard doesn’t have the chops.

    And mark my words, Obama is going to slaughter Slick Willard in the 3rd and foreign policy debate.

  79. 79

    If Romney wins, it will piss-off a lot of arrogant jerks like Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. It will also bring out demagogues like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson screaming “racism” all over the place. While it would give me great pleasure to have Chrissy-boy and Brunhilda Maddow pissing and moaning about a Romney victory, it’s not the best thing for the country.

    You see, Romney intends to keep trying to continue the American overseas empire. Folks, we just can’t afford it any more. We’ve got $16 trillion on the credit card, and that number is growing! It’s time to end the empire, first by withdrawing entirely from the Middle East, then Europe. Sorry, Israel, but you’re on your own when it comes to dealing with your Muslim neighbors. Germany, I know you’ll be gald to see us go, as will the rest of the Europeans.

    As for South Korea and Japan, it’s up to you to contain the crazy bastard in North Korea. Good luck to all, but we can’t afford to “protect” you any longer.

    Once we get out of the rest of the world’s affairs, we need to shrink the Department of Defense by about 40% and devote our forces to the defence of our homeland only. That means a lot of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who will be unemployed and a lot of defence contractors having to look elsewhere for sales. That’s just the price we have to pay to get this damn debt under control. We shouldn’t stop until we get the debt down to $0.00.

    So you want to keep the guy in who didn’t halve the debt but massively added to it?

  82. 82

    I hope we three get in touch and that we can get together one of these days. Best wishes.

    Sure thing Steve. It will have to be around either of the two holidays as my schedule is really busy right now. I’d further elaborate but dunceman will object. I can see if Mrs Puddy would like to meet Ms. Wingnut!

    “So you want to keep the guy in who didn’t halve the debt but massively added to it?”

    No, what I really want is somebody like Ron Paul. Given the constant Hobson’s Choice we face every four years, the Milk Chocolate Messiah will do less damage than the Mittster, particularly if the Republicans keep control of the House and gain in the Senate.

    Gman, you nailed it. Gekko/Galt are only ‘interested’ in the Benghazi attack because they believe they can use it against the administration to further their election possibilities.

    Really FlubScout… So libtards don’t care about two of America’s finest… Navy Seals, an Ambassador adored in the Middle East for being a friend to non-fanatical Muslims and another State Department employee?

    Down right amazing… Thanks for stating your “case” FlubScout. Your esteem value is at the same level as ylbuttspigot and his loser pal rujax, the dumbest brick in the pile.

    Also regarding caring for the baby gleeeeeeeeeeeman, please tell Puddy what Planned Parenthood has done for my people except provide easy access to their extermination AKA black donkoinfanticide?

  85. 85

    As I said @45 and elsewhere on this thread Gekko/Galt and the Republican party’s only interest in the deadly attacks on our consulate in Benghazi is to use it for political advantage.

    Never mind if that means Romney using the murdered victim as a talisman in speeches despite being asked not to by the poor man’s mother.

    Surely Republicans would never think of using US Ambassador Chris Stevens’ lifeless body in an anti-Obama campaign ad?

    Florida GOP group uses ambassador’s dead body in anti-Obama ad

    Have you noticed how FlubScout ignores the facts above? This sadministration lied to America over Libya. Lower level State Department employees have told us

    1) No budget cuts affected security
    2) Pleadings for more security went unheeded
    3) Pleadings for more security were ignored
    4) The security detail was reduced
    5) The ambassador worried for his life.

    Yes, these libtards running the show are “special” and the HA peeps who support them are “really special”!

    Parse this statement of Ly’n Ryan last night

    Ly’n RYAN: — it makes us more weak. It projects weakness, and when we look weak, our adversaries are much more willing to test us, they’re more brazen in their attacks, and our allies are less willing to —

    with what his side is doing with “it” to “project” what?

    Rachel Maddow:

    Perhaps the clearest indication of who won and lost the VP debate came quickly on the heels of the event itself: the Democratic post-debate message was that Joe Biden scored a clear win; the Republican message was that Joe Biden was too mean to Paul Ryan. The former is a boast of success; the latter is an excuse for failure.

    An interesting read on the debates.

    BREAKING —-
    Romney Proudly Explains How He’s Turned Campaign Around

    BOSTON—For weeks many Beltway insiders had written off the Romney campaign as dead, saying the candidate had dug himself into too deep a hole with too little time to recover. However, with a month to go before ballots are cast, Romney has pulled even with President Obama, and the former Massachusetts governor credits his rejuvenated campaign to one, singular tactic: lying a lot.

    “I’m lying a lot more, and my lies are far more egregious than they’ve ever been,” a smiling Romney told reporters while sitting in the back of his campaign bus, adding that when faced with a choice to either lie or tell the truth, he will more than likely lie. “It’s a strategy that works because when I lie, I’m essentially telling people what they want to hear, and people really like hearing things they want to hear. Even if they sort of know that nothing I’m saying is true.”

    “It’s a freeing strategy, really, because I don’t have to worry about facts or being accurate or having any concrete positions of any kind,” Romney added.

    Romney said he is telling at least 80 percent more lies now than he was two months ago. Buoyed by his strong debate performance, which by his own admission included 40 or 50 instances of lying in one 90-minute period, the candidate said he will continue to “just openly lie [his] ass off” until the Nov. 6 election.

  95. 95

    Never mind if that means Romney using the murdered victim as a talisman in speeches despite being asked not to by the poor man’s mother.

    And his sister doesn’t feel that way FlubScout… She’d rather rightly blame the terrorists instead of Romney! Golly that sucks eh FlubScout?

    Glen and Kate’s mother, Barbara Doherty, recently released a statement asking for Romney to stop mentioning her son, adding that, “I don’t trust Romney. He shouldn’t make my son’s death part of his political agenda.” Burnett asked Quigley if she felt the same way.

    “You know, I don’t,” she replied. “And my mother is angry, and she’s grieving. The fact of the matter is what Governor Mitt Romney said about Glen is true, and he called him a hero and we’re honored by that. And we’re honored by what Obama did for their homecoming. The fact of the matter is, is being an American hero can be completely bipartisan and everybody wants to point fingers and play the blame game – let’s blame the terrorists because that’s who’s at fault here and that’s where we should be focusing our energy.”

    Butt a Navy Seal’s widow has cheered Romney on the use of her husband FlubScout!

    Really sucks to be you today!

    Ly’n Ryan?

    Let’s go to the tape last night

    Ly’n RYAN: This is a plan that’s bipartisan. It’s a plan I put together with a prominent Democrat senator from Oregon.

    BIDEN: There’s not one Democrat who endorses it.

    Ly’n RYAN: It’s a plan … our partner is a Democrat from Oregon.

    Will the Honorable Senator from Oregon care to comment?


    The Vice President is right, Romney/Ryan moved the goal post on Medicare and I strongly oppose their plan because I believe it hurts seniors. The Romney/Ryan plan raises the age of eligibility and repeals the ACA leaving millions of seniors with no health coverage. The Romney/Ryan plan on Medicare pulls the safety net out from under the poorest and most vulnerable seniors, taking away the opportunity for nursing home care from seniors who need it and have no other options.

    The Wyden-Ryan white paper strengthened the safety net for these dual eligibles. The Romney/Ryan version shreds it. The republican ticket knows that neither I, nor any other Democrat, would support these policies.

    The Romney/Ryan plan on Medicare is further proof that Mitt Romney is singularly unfit to end gridlock and bring bipartisan solutions to Washington.

    Republicans Lie cuz that’s all they got.

    Oh no BiteME lied again

    Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement saying that Vice President Joe Biden’s assertion in Thursday night’s debate that Obamacare’s sterilization-contraception-abortifacient regulation does not apply to Catholic and other religious institutions is not true.

  100. 100

    Nails it perfectly about libtards…

    The morning after the vice presidential debate, Democrats are delighted. Vice President Joe Biden’s obnoxious display was exactly what was needed to cheer them up after a week of morose speculation about why President Obama was so passive and uninspired at last week’s first presidential debate with Mitt Romney. Indeed, the more Biden giggled, smirked and interrupted Paul Ryan, the better they liked it. While his condescending and bullying behavior contradicted liberal doctrine about conservatives being the ones guilty of polluting the public square with political incivility, it embodied their complete contempt for both Republicans and their ideas. Biden’s nastiness may have re-invigorated a Democratic base that wanted nothing so much as to tell their opponents to shut up, even if it may have also alienated a great many independents. But with the main focus of the election still on the remaining two presidential debates, it’s not clear that President Obama can profit from Biden’s example.

    DUMMOCRAPTS are thugs in every way shape and form!

  101. 101

    As you may have heard, Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.) is now known as the Republican who pushed his mistress, a former patient of his, to get an abortion. And the Republican leadership’s response? They hand him the gavel so that he could preside over a pro forma House session.

    Wow, that’s really harsh treatment. I can see why other Republicans might want to get their act together before some similar terrible fate befalls them as well.

  105. 105

    The comments are priceless here…

    Does Jay Carney understand what he just said? He’s trying to say that the US Commander and Chief did not have the information that is critical to National Security for more than a week after they FALSELY told the world that what evolved into a global uprising was because of a poorly made video about Muhammad loaded into Youtube that only had a few hundred views at the time. That’s a wee scary eh?

    Or this one…

    so the President wasnt informed of the request for more security?

    maybe Mr. Carney, he was informed via his daily intel briefings but since he was too busy fundraising he didnt know about the request…maybe? just maybe? hmmm?

    this Libya ordeal really drives home Clint Eastwood’s assertion of an Empty Chair President

    Poor Jay CarneyBarker… he must be paid a big time salary or promised some cushy job in a later life episode. Otherwise he’s clueless as his predecessor Robert Fibbs!

  106. 106

    re 6 — “I wonder if Lib Despair is still holding out for the formal investigation so we can learn whether Benghazi was an out-of-hand protest or a terrorist attack.”

    It’s a distinction without a difference. The news media portrayed it from the get-go as a terrorist attack that was launched as a protest was under way.

    It’s not either/or — it’s both — something that cannot be understood in the black and white world of conservotardia.

  107. 107

    My wife observed the other night as the vice presidential debate was under way that current conservative candidtes resemble smug mental patients.

  109. 109

    Is Ly’n Ryan human? Or a shapeshifter?

    A new report from the Associated Press highlights almost 9,000 pages of correspondence between Ryan’s congressional office and dozens of federal agencies and departments in which Ryan repeatedly sought millions of dollars for his own constituents, often culled from programs that Ryan is now campaigning to reduce or eliminate entirely:

    For 12 years as a member of Congress, Ryan has sought from the federal government money and benefits that in some cases represent the kinds of largess and specific programs he is now campaigning against.

    As Mitt Romney’s running mate, Ryan calls those kinds of handouts big-government overreaching. He tells crowds he supports smaller government and rails against what he calls Obama’s wasteful spending, including the president’s $800 billion stimulus program.

    Republicans Lie cuz that’s all they got left.

  110. 110

    “My wife observed the other night as the vice presidential debate was under way that current conservative candidtes resemble smug mental patients.”

    That’s what I thought Joe Biden looked like at the VP debate. Did he become a conservative recently?

  111. 111

    For 12 years as a member of Congress, Ryan has sought from the federal government money and benefits that in some cases represent the kinds of largess and specific programs he is now campaigning against.”

    Unfortuantely, that’s what ALL members of the House and Senate do. Each is elected to all bring home the pork to his or her state/district.

  112. 112

    re 110: “That’s what I thought Joe Biden looked like at the VP debate. Did he become a conservative recently?”

    No.

    All protestations to the contrary, you’re just another loyal Republican wingnut that falls into line with all the others when all is said and done.

  113. 113

    re 11: — “Unfortuantely, that’s what ALL members of the House and Senate do. Each is elected to all bring home the pork to his or her state/district.”

    Then why does he lie about it? Oh, it must be his ‘principles’. Too bad one of his pronciples isn’t to stop lying to the American public.
