    More Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, a sign that progress in the labor market is faltering amid a slowing economy.

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/.....-high.html

    It strikes me that the August unemployment data will be released next Friday.

    That will work nicely into the GOP counterarguments about the DNC convention speech claims, I think.

    The Janesville GM plant was running in 2009, and was closed in May of that year.

    Here’s a little memory check for you HAers. Obama gave a speech at the Janesville plant in February, 2008.

    But through hard times and good, great challenge and great change, the promise of Janesville has been the promise of America – that our prosperity can and must be the tide that lifts every boat; that we rise or fall as one nation; that our economy is strongest when our middle-class grows and opportunity is spread as widely as possible. And when it’s not – when opportunity is uneven or unequal – it is our responsibility to restore balance, and fairness, and keep that promise alive for the next generation. That is the responsibility we face right now, and that is the responsibility I intend to meet as President of the United States.

    I bet we don’t hear much more about the ‘Ryan Lie’ about Janesville.

    Oh, except on HA, of course.

    Romney’s up 5 since June, while Obama’s up 2. Meanwhile, Obama’s approval there is lower than in June.

    Oh, and Obama lost 20% of his past supporters to Romney.

    That’s 20%.

    Which state? You might have to click the link.

    @ Serial Liar

    The plant was slated to be closed by the corporation by June of 2008. The massive increases in gasoline prices during the first part of 2007 killed it, it was a plant that built luxury SUV gas pig trucks for the soccer moms, so the market for those was already taking a dump by the end of 2007 and the Corporation saw the trend. The plant shut down in November of 2008, laying of more than 1200 people, but was kept open on a skeleton crew for several more months to complete an assembly contract for Isuzu.

    The Corporation made the decision to close the plant at the end of the fiscal year, nearly 6 months before it actually closed.

    So yes, Ryan is a liar. But you don’t care. It’s a big part of why you’re going to vote for him.

    @ 4

    You miss the point.

    Yes, it was slated to be closed. And Obama had four months, more or less, to keep it from happening.

    That was Ryan’s point. I guess with the black helicopter circling your house all day, every day, it’s a little distracting and you sometimes miss things.

    Interesting that even a CBS flunkee recognizes what a smackdown Paul Ryan delivered to President Obama last night.
    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-50.....-policies/

    Obama tries to laugh it off. Good luck when $600 Million goes to drumbeat that message to the American people when the Election is now a toss-up and there are enough Undecideds to sway it to Romney/Ryan.

  7. 7

    @5-You are absolutely right about the facts and timetable on that plant closure. President Obama was too busy celebrating his victory and swinging around in his new chair & playing golf to recognize he would be held accountable from Day 1. Using the excuse he only had 4 months won’t sell to those impacted by this.

    Child was bullied by students, teacher, say Kopachuck parents
    The video footage is six months old, captured from multiple angles by teens with mobile phones in a Kopachuck Middle School classroom. In the images, more than a dozen students drag a smaller boy around the room, holding him like a hammock, peeling off his socks, writing on his feet, stuffing a sock in his mouth, holding a pillow over his face and covering him with chairs.

    @ 5

    Why would it be up to the Government to maintain operations at a corporate-owned assembly plant that built an obsolete, unsaleable product? It wasn’t part of the March/2009 stimulus for the simple reason that it had no product to sell and had already been closed by the company. By the middle of 2008, several thousands of brand new SUVs and other low-mileage vehicles were being stored in Arizona and New Mexico, as there was no market for them in the light of $4.00+/gallon gasoline.

    See, now what you’re doing is rationalizing. When one tries to rationalize an open lie, one gets shit on ones face.

    GOP boss says Rob McKenna will do what Scott Walker did in Wisconsin
    When speaking before a group of Republicans, without knowing he was being recorded, McKenna said public employee unions are “dangerous.”
    http://www.thestand.org/2012/0.....-concerns/

    How can we have a dialogue and find a compromise that is good for the state of Washington with conservatives with they demonize what we value? And people wonder why we are getting so hard line partisan, cause the republicans are forcing us to be.

  12. 12

    It was a truly breathtaking display of brazen dishonesty. Paul Ryan looked America in the eye and without a hint a shame, lied to our face.

    Ryan lied about President Obama’s auto-industry rescue, blaming the administration for a plant closing orchestrated by President Bush. Ryan lied about Medicare, falsely accusing Obama of undermining the system. Ryan lied about the debt downgrade, falsely blaming the president for a downgrade caused by Ryan and congressional Republicans.

    Ryan lied about the Simpson-Bowles commission, falsely accusing Obama of walking away from debt reduction, and ignoring the fact that Ryan himself fought to ensure the Simpson-Bowles commission never even released a report. Ryan lied about his plans for the safety net, saying he intends to “protect the weak” when he budget plan intends to gut public investments that benefit the poor.

    And this part slammed SerCon without knowing it.

    Dan Amira called the speech “appallingly disingenuous and shamelessly hypocritical,” but added this gem:

    Most of the millions of people who watched the speech on television tonight do not read fact-checks or obsessively consume news 15 hours a day, and will never know how much Ryan’s case against Obama relied on lies and deception. Ryan’s pants are on fire, but all America saw was a barn-burner.

    Or is it worse that our trolls, who when show the truth, choose to vote against their self interests anyway?

  13. 13

    As for as the 4 months winow…Not sure how Obama could have prevented that plant closure, but in Romney’s world, you can “retroactively” do anything and change history. But wasn’t romney in favor of managed bankruptcy? That would have closed the plant anyway.

  14. 14

    Speculation is that Clint Eastwood will speak tonight at the Convention. That would be terrific. Clint kept Carmel afloat when he found that all the deadbeat Art Galleries were avoiding taxes by mailing purchases to out-of-state addresses. The deadbeat Progressives weren’t collecting or paying their fair share. He was highly respected by all and many were Democrats.
    Clint Eastwood would be a great choice.
    Can’t wait to hear Mitt Romney’s speech.
    President Obama is in huge trouble. He broke the Democrat bank way too early. Now he will pay.

  15. 15

    The Democrats repeatedly blamed President Bush for issues caused by a lack of Democrat oversight,,like the mortgage disaster when it was Chris Dodd and Barney Frank who were charged with oversight by the Senate and House the Democrats controlled.
    Life ain’t fair is it?
    I mean, when your guy is dishing out the unfairness, that’s ok. But what goes around, comes around.
    Payback is a bitch.

    No one thinks Romney will win, because he won’t

    by kos for Daily Kos

    Winning.

    Yesterday, Chuck Todd on MSNBC talked about how Republicans wanted to refocus on Wisconsin as they see Ohio slip away.

    They. See. Ohio. Slipping. Away. I’m not sure how Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes makes up for Ohio’s 18, or Pennsylvania’s 20. Even if Republicans surrender both those states, winning Colorado, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia—states Obama won in 2008—that wouldn’t be enough for Mitt Romney to get to 270.

    Fact is, Republicans are losing. Just watch their convention and note the utter lack of energy. Nothing. We all hated Sarah Palin, sure, but she lit that convention hall on fire. George W. Bush knew how to amp it up. Zell Miller had the place rocking. On Tuesday night, Chris Christie had to order people to stand up.

    It’s only going to get worse for Gekko/Galt.

    The movement morons like the serial liar, puddypussypissypants and the Montana goat fucker will vote for the billionaires boy’s club, but the rest of America will vote for President Obama.

    Actually, Clint Eastwood ran for Mayor of Carmel promising to keep large chain stores and restaurants out of the town. He kept that promise.

    While he was Mayor, he kept local businesses in business, while keeping the chains out, and blocking the building of a huge Mall on the outskirts of town that would have killed the central business district.

    @ 5

    Why would it be up to the Government to maintain operations at a corporate-owned assembly plant that built an obsolete, unsaleable product?

    Good question. Why would it be up to the government to save that corporation from a normal bankruptcy, now that we’re talking about obligations? After all, if GM had gone through a normal bankruptcy, the unprofitable, obsolete stuff would have been stripped out, a leaner corporation unburdened by severe debt load would have emerged, and the taxpayer wouldn’t have been stuck with the bill.

    You don’t get it both ways. You don’t get to cheer-lead Obama for ‘saving GM’ if you don’t acknowledge that the government could have stepped in and kept everything from closing, and elected not to do so.

  22. 22

    Even Fox News criticized Ryan. (Course it was a token democratic writer (See, we have liberal freinds!), but still)
    Get the link quick before they pull it
    http://www.foxnews.com/opinion.....ree-words/

    Fact: While Ryan tried to pin the downgrade of the United States’ credit rating on spending under President Obama, the credit rating was actually downgraded because Republicans threatened not to raise the debt ceiling.

    Fact: While Ryan blamed President Obama for the shut down of a GM plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, the plant was actually closed under President George W. Bush. Ryan actually asked for federal spending to save the plant, while Romney has criticized the auto industry bailout that President Obama ultimately enacted to prevent other plants from closing.

    Fact: Though Ryan insisted that President Obama wants to give all the credit for private sector success to government, that isn’t what the president said. Period.

    Fact: Though Paul Ryan accused President Obama of taking $716 billion out of Medicare, the fact is that that amount was savings in Medicare reimbursement rates (which, incidentally, save Medicare recipients out-of-pocket costs, too) and Ryan himself embraced these savings in his budget plan.

    Wow. Now that you have facts and truth, when will you change your mind on Ryan?

  25. 25

    @ 21

    So you have no problem throwing 5 or 6 million people out of work to prove how your economic principles should work?

    The Plant was closed before Obama took office, that is NOT in question.

    Not sure how Obama could have prevented that plant closure, but in Romney’s world, you can “retroactively” do anything and change history. But wasn’t romney in favor of managed bankruptcy? That would have closed the plant anyway.

    Agreed that the plant likely would not have survived. So make that argument. Go ahead. What that argument acknowledges, though, is that a decision was made not to step in (they could have stepped in – here’s $10M as additional float capital, to be used to keep plants A, B, and C running) because there was an understanding that a lot of plants would have to be shuttered.

    It’s an acknowledgement that Obama could have, and chose not to. It’s the point Ryan made.

    Having a reason for making that choice does not make Ryan’s point a lie.

    @ 34

    To keep producing products that don’t sell?

    Like, er, the Chevy Volt?

    Strip out the sales to California government entities, to GE, you have a total bomb.

    We give billions to GM and billions in subsidies for the Volt, which sells so few vehicles that they’re closing the Volt plant for the second time this year.

    GM is perpetuating the same unsustainable model post-bankruptcy that they did before the bankruptcy.

    You missed my point @ 26, which was that since we were handing billions in float money to GM and to Chrysler, we could have saved a few extra plants by putting restrictions on some of that money – like saying that some of the plants scheduled for closure would be kept open in exchange for the monetary transfer.

    The right business thing to do would have been to permit a normal bankruptcy to occur. That would have saved the US taxpayer perhaps as much as $30billion or more when all of this is said and done. As long as we’re going to hand out $50+ billion in assistance, what’s $10M or so more?

    The point about Ryan and the Janesville plant is that you have no point, and you won’t see organizations outside MSNBC trying to call him a liar for bringing it up. Not after the news items and video now available that show the plant functioning into May 2009.

    Time to go back to the magic underwear, Seamus, Ayn Rand, and the tax returns.

  36. 36

    Like, er, the Chevy Volt?

    We give billions to GM and billions in subsidies for the Volt

    Another lie.. There goes the Faux News tape running..

    Next thing you’ll say is that the Electric Focus and Nissan Leaf, not hot-sellers by any stretch, are also Obama plots..

In stead of frequenting tity bars you would think they would try to shut them down like shutting down the freedom to marry who you wish. They not only have no family values, them Nazis are also against freedom and liberty for all. And heck they’ll ruin the economy at the same time.

    Greed and Debt: The True
    Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital

    How the GOP presidential candidate and his private equity firm staged an epic wealth grab, destroyed jobs – and stuck others with the bill

    By Matt Taibbi
    August 29, 2012 7:00 AM ET

    Mitt Romney illustrationIllustration by Robert GrossmanThe great criticism of Mitt Romney, from both sides of the aisle, has always been that he doesn’t stand for anything. He’s a flip-flopper, they say, a lightweight, a cardboard opportunist who’ll say anything to get elected.

    The critics couldn’t be more wrong. Mitt Romney is no tissue-paper man. He’s closer to being a revolutionary, a backward-world version of Che or Trotsky, with tweezed nostrils instead of a beard, a half-Windsor instead of a leather jerkin. His legendary flip-flops aren’t the lies of a bumbling opportunist – they’re the confident prevarications of a man untroubled by misleading the nonbeliever in pursuit of a single, all-consuming goal. Romney has a vision, and he’s trying for something big: We’ve just been too slow to sort out what it is, just as we’ve been slow to grasp the roots of the radical economic changes that have swept the country in the last generation.

    Here’s an important follow up.

    Personal note:

    I have been an independent businessman ALL my working life, like my father before me. I have sold goods and services to businesses and individuals. I have bought and sold companies. I have worked for others. I have had others working for me.

    I have been in or around the financial services industry (highly regulated with strict government accoutability) for the last thirty years and I have seen an apalling amount of corporate greed and entitlement.

    I have seen an entire industry…one that employed literally millions of people destroyed by the machinations of a relative few…and no one went to jail.

    I have seen millions lose their pensions, their retirement investments, their homes and/or the equity in their homes and no one went to jail.

    I watched a beloved 120 year old Seattle financial institution destroyed by personal greed in five years.

    No one went to jail.

    You’re a liar “bob” or whoever you are. You’re a liar, a thief if you support these crooks, a racist if you support these racists, a misogynist if you support thses woman haters and a cruel and inhuman individual if you advocate implementing this hideous budget.

    Just so those with enormous amounts of money can have more? Bush’s BASE?…the Haves and the Have More’s??? At the expense of…STOLEN FROM…average working Americans?

    You are disgusting.

    You and your “fellow travellers”: Mr. Cynical or “Red” or “ev” or whatever the coward like him calls himself today…and the supposedly uber-religious and super-pious puddybuddy…

    President Obama is far from perfect. The President and Democrats in Congress were/are complicit in some of these detestable activities. He and they must be held to account…after his/their re-election.

    But these thugs and theives and liars and haters…these miserable characters in Tampa YOU support and cover for and excuse must not be allowed nearer the reigns of power than they already are.

    The biggest of all Paul Ryan’s big lies

    by Joan McCarter

    How can you tell Paul Ryan is lying? The open mouth.

    Paul Ryan speech last night was a veritable lollapalooza of lies, mostly about what President Obama has done and what his own policies and proposals will do.
    But there’s one lie that he’s been using since he got the veep nod from Mitt Romney that is different. It’s different because it’s about an action that had the potential to do real damage to the U.S. and because Ryan is personally responsible for it. That’s the Standard & Poors downgrading of the nation’s credit rating as a result of the House Republicans’ taking the debt ceiling hostage.

    Last night, Ryan said that the Obama presidency “began with a perfect Triple-A credit rating for the United States; it ends with a downgraded America.”

    And here are the facts, from the actual statement from S&P at the time:

    Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act. Key macroeconomic assumptions in the base case scenario include trend real GDP growth of 3% and consumer price inflation near 2% annually over the decade.

    A liar and a hypocrite Bob, just like you.

  41. 41

    Here is the insanity of the Republican Healthcare Plan. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would give an 80-year-old with heart disease and high blood pressure a coupon, and tell him to go find his own private insurance. I’m sure for-profit insurance corporations are just going to line up to insure that guy.

  43. 43

    @ 36

    Gas guzzling full-sized SUV’s are dinosaurs and people aren’t interested in buying them.

    They are less interested, true, but a lot of them still sell well.

    Know what else sells well? The Prius.

    Word is Toyota will spin off Prius and we’ll be seeing Prius showrooms in a year or so.

    Know what’s not selling? The Volt.

    Strip out all the sales that require unsustainable incentives and it’s a complete dud.

    No incentives on the Prius. None. I own one. Amazing technology. No guts but still so much fun to drive if you spend way too much time looking at the screen. Mid $20s.

    The Volt? It’s a brick. A taxpayer-subsidized brick.

  46. 46

    Looks like we’ll continue to hear about the Janesville GM plant.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/.....9386.story
    Multiple news outlets were particularly dismissive of Ryan’s attempt to hold Obama accountable for the closure of the Janesville auto plant — which he had hoped during the last campaign would remain open for another 100 years. Politifact.org was among the many to rate Ryan’s barb “false,” since the plant closed a month before the Democrat took office.

  47. 47

    Just in time for the DNC convention. Oh, and Elizabeth Edwards!


    (CNSNews.com) – The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – the “supreme leader” of Iran – praised America’s “Occupy Wall Street” movement on Thursday, calling it a reflection of people around the world who are “losing their patience” with the dominance of the United States and Israel in the international community.

    http://cnsnews.com/news/articl.....y-movement

    That’s right, HAers. Iran’s Ayatollah, Nancy Pelosi, and Elizabeth Edwards are on the same page.

    Aren’t you glad that Occupy will be a force in Charlotte next week?

  49. 49

    No incentives on the Prius. None. I own one.

    Oh why Bob? Are you an eco-freak? Do you know the main motivation of the Prius was not so much to save gas – it was to limit emissions of CO2 which are mostly produced when a vehicle accelerates to cruising speed. Prius uses the battery for this. Kyoto protocol in a nutshell.

    Why didn’t you buy an Janesville, WI gas guzzler Bob? There’s plenty of oil Bob according to the right wing. Look at all the bitumen just north of us in Alberta..

    Why did you give your money to Japan Bob? Where’s your patriotism?

    Did you use the cash for clunkers? Just the other day you were claiming it was an Obama plot to enrich Toyota and Honda.

    Nice going Bob.

    Did you know the Volt was a pet project of a right wing GM CEO who believes global warming, like you, is an Al Gore promoted “hoax”?

    But no, you say you don’t watch Faux News but you sure read those unhinged right wing twirp sites and I see one link to foxnews.com that you’ve left here. Like it or not you’re towing the Roger Ailes line.. Good job Bob.

    Bought the Prius used. Gave the money to a German immigrant named Uwe.

    If the Volt was a bad idea, do the political leanings of its early supporter matter? Bad is bad. Kill it. License Prius technology instead.

    The internet is on fire, documenting the width and breadth of Ryan’s lies

    As Time’s Michael Grunwald, who has just published a new book about the stimulus, points out, “Experts had warned that 5 percent of the stimulus could be lost to fraud, but investigators have documented less than $10 million in losses — about 0.001 percent.” Solyndra has been the exception, not the rule.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/....._blog.html

    Conservatives, to be true to your god, many days before you stop supporting Ryan?

  56. 56

    If Obama had intervened that specific plant do you think you would have said this? Especially if it had still folded….

    a line from Ryan’s attack on Obama’s stimulus:

    The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst

    .

    So he’s damned if he saved it, and damned if he didn’t.
    Conservatives, tell me how you can support Ryan after learning the truth?

  57. 57

    That’s right, HAers. Iran’s Ayatollah, Nancy Pelosi, and Elizabeth Edwards are on the same page.

    Elizabeth Edwards died in 2010, perhaps you meant Elizabeth Warren?

    The right in this country are on the same side as Iran’s Ayatollah, Hugo Chavez and a bunch of other evil fuckers when to comes to the UN small arms treaty.

  58. 58

    More fact checking

    It’s true that the plant didn’t last another year, as Ryan said. In fact, the Business Journal in Milwaukee wrote that the assembly plant shut down on Dec. 23, 2008, at the tail end of the Bush administration, a victim of the financial crisis and dwindling demand for the SUVs produced at the plant. That’s nearly one month before Obama was sworn into office.

    About 100 workers were kept on in 2009 to finish a truck order and help shut down the plant, according to the Associated Press.

    @46. How are we supposed to have a dialogue, a dissension, to find common ground when you repeatedly demonize the left?

    In It’s Even Worse Than It Looks, congressional scholars Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein identify two overriding problems that have led Congress—and the United States—to the brink of institutional collapse. The first is the serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a governing system that, unlike a parliamentary democracy, makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. Second, while both parties participate in tribal warfare, both sides are not equally culpable. The political system faces what the authors call “asymmetric polarization,” with the Republican Party implacably refusing to allow anything that might help the Democrats politically, no matter the cost.

    “They say our political dysfunction is largely because of the transformation of the Republican Party into an extremist force that is “dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.” You can’t get cooperation to serve the national interest when one side of the divide sees no distinction between the national interest and its own partisan triumph.”

    Poor little cunt

    See Bob? This is how your fellow travellers here on this website “debate”..

    By hurling misogynist taunts at their opponents.

    Any wonder why your side made a war on women a top priority the last two years? They hate women having the same autonomy as men. Your side believes women should submit to men and that’s why they call men who don’t believe this “cunt” “fag” “bleeder” and the like.

    They’re just acting out what they believe is the “ideal” relationship between men and women…

    Dig beneath the surface a tiny bit and you see insecure, emasculated men – terrified of the world changing beneath their feet..

    In the case of the asshat troll “little maxee”, we see a guy who was clearly bullied and berated most of his life by his short stature mother – a lifelong victim of short woman syndrome.

    Therefore, he comes here for “comical distraction” (at least 6000 comments worth, as his life is so full of meaning) – he imagines the people he hates are “cunts”, “fags” (i.e., effeminate men) and “bleeders” (menstruating women). He fantasizes injuring the uterus of those he hates with his penis – a rape fantasy.

    It’s documented here in the threads.. I report you decide, Bob..

    Leftists blame stuff on the right. Film at 11.

    OTOH:


    Mann and Ornstein have gained the most attention for their claim that Republicans are more to blame than Democrats, a charge which seems unfair. As Chris Cillizza explained, many of the extreme ideological Republicans in the House are doing exactly what other members of the House are doing: representing the interests of the constituents who elected them. The Tea Party crowds who pushed for more extreme legislators got just what they hoped for. It is not only the legislators who have a strong ideological, no compromise attitude: The voters who elected them do, too. And Democratic legislators have shown they can throw up roadblocks as well as Republicans.

    I got to listen to NPR a bit this morning, while driving between one work site and another. They were having a panel discussion about Ryan’s speach. Since I didn’t hear the beginning, I don’t know who was on the panel.

    I heard them spend some twenty minutes quickly listing Ryan’s comments and pointing out that each had been repudiated by every independent fax-checker. But one commentator pointed out that Ryan’s speach-writer was very good, but his delivery average. The speach was designed to give short talking points which would appeal to the low-information voter, who was unlikely to investigate the truth or falsehood of Ryan’s claims. That, in effect, is their target audience – those who don’t know any better except to trust Republicans and vote for them, the truth be damned.

  74. 74

    At another occassion this morning, I caught up with an interview of the producer of the “2016” movie, which the Tea Party folks are advertising on Facebook and banners on the freeway overpasses. It’s apparantly a movie financed by some Republican supporters (Koch brothers? Rove?) which is designed to make you fear Obama.

    In the interview, the producer argued that after four years of Obama as President, “we still don’t know who he is”. He then seeks to fill that void by making up an entirely fictional account of who Obama.

    I’m not sure how much is in the movie, but in the interview the producer said Obama’s agenda for the next four years, which apparantly includes turning the U.S. over to the U.N., arming Iran and Arab states with U.S. nuclear weapons so they can attack Israel, and making the U.S. a socialist nation enforced by fascist totalitarian policies. He dismissed the lack of evidence by claiming Obama “wants” this – a tactic used by Limbaugh and other right-wing commentators over the next five years. (Ignore what he says and does, and simply say he “wants” it!).

    When forced into a factual discussion, he claims that the U.S. unemployment level when President Obama took office was only 7.2%, compared with (he claims) 8.9% today, and that U.S. jobs have actually decreased under President Obama’s policies. When it was pointed out that his figures were ridiculous, he changed topics.

    I think we need to find a new word for liar. The word simply isn’t strong enough to cover the current crop of Republicans.

  75. 75

    Seriously, trolls, I have a question. Doesn’t it hurt to lie like this so often? I’d be sick to my stomach if I had to repeat the Republican talking points every morning with a straight face.

  76. 76

    @66. If I have time, I will find where you first started using the republican theme of “By any means available”. I remember it being within the first couple of weeks of you starting to post here and before your insulting of the President’s daughter. Because you were justifying your ridicule by referencing previous posts where you were talking that anything was acceptable if it helped get your party back in power.

  77. 77

    @1 I saw in this morning’s Republican Times that Ryan promised 12 million jobs over the next 4 years. He’s not setting his sights very high is he? We need 159,000 jobs a month just to keep the unemployment rate the same. So that’s only about 50% – 60% more than bare maintenance level.

    The reality, though, is the next president — Republican or Democrat — won’t have much influence over job creation. Even if Romney succeeds in cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, that won’t create jobs, because the weak hiring is due to lack of consumer demand, not lack of investment capital. Corporations are already sitting on $2 trillion of cash they can’t put to work in their businesses because they don’t have customers for their products.

    But the biggest reason presidents can’t keep jobs is because the economy is going through a deleveraging cycle. As fund manager Ray Dalio wrote in this paper,

    http://www.bwater.com/Uploads/.....ewater.pdf

    it took America 60 years to leverage up, and it’s going to take 15 – 20 years to deleverage. The only way to speed up that process is by writing off debt; but, as others have pointed out, one man’s debt is another man’s asset, so you can’t do that without destroying wealth — and most of the debt is owned by pension funds, investment funds, endowments, and other institutional investors in which many of us have a stake.

    I’m not saying the Republican ticket, if they get into office, can’t deliver 12 million jobs in 4 years. I’m saying that’s not a very ambitious goal and the economy will deliver most, if not all, of those 12 million jobs by itself under current conditions. In other words, if Obama gets re-elected and sleeps through the next 4 years, we’ll probably get most or all of the 12 million jobs Ryan is promising. So Ryan really didn’t promise very much of anything at all.

  78. 78

    it took America 60 years to leverage up, and it’s going to take 15 – 20 years to deleverage.

    Yep!

    Re Michael @46 pointing out the Janesville lie that Ryan told again last night.

    Spent the day in a business meeting with clients today. All of these guys are white successful business men making more money than the median. Their demographics would put them as at least leaning Republican just by default.
    When I’m with clients trying to make more money myself I steer clear of politics.

    Well, today before the business discussions began, on each of the breaks, at lunch and after the meeting ended these guys talked about nothing but Ryan’s lie and the Republican ticket’s complete and utter dependence upon lying.

    I don’t know if it means anything, but in 40 years I’ve never heard anything like it in the wake of a speech at a convention planned to inspire folks like these to vote for the ticket.

    oh, and knowing most of these guys for 15+ years, I know them as apolitical.

    – Fuck all of these hurdles to the Burke-Gillman Trail missing link. It might make it harder to get to 0 road fatalities.

    Astonishing as it may seem, after more than six years, the battle over completing the “Missing Link” of the Burke-Gilman Trail—the 21-block section that stretches from east of the Ballard Bridge to the Ballard Locks—just entered yet another phase on Monday, when a city of Seattle hearing examiner ruled that the project will have to go through a full environmental impact statement (EIS), a lengthy and expensive process.

    http://publicola.com/2012/08/2.....sing-link/

    A couple years back I decided that it’s quite silly to require EIS’s on fairly low impact projects in areas that are already highly impacted. Now, I’m starting to wonder if we need them in in large cities at all.

  82. 82

    @2 “The Janesville GM plant was running in 2009, and was closed in May of that year. Here’s a little memory check for you HAers. ”

    And here’s a little FACT CHECK for you:

    “December 23, 2008: SUV production ends, and more than 2,000 GM workers are laid off, according to the Gazette. Medium truck production continues.

    “April 23, 2009: The plant’s medium-duty assembly line, which produced an Isuzu line, closes, ending vehicle production at the plant and resulting in the loss of 57 production jobs, according to the Gazette.

    “But to fairly evaluate Obama’s statement, at least two pieces of context — missing from Ryan’s account — would be useful: First, that Obama wasn’t telling this plant that he’d save it from a pending closure. He wasn’t addressing a plant that he knew to be closing, because the closure announcement didn’t come until four months after his speech. Second, although the plant’s last bit of production stopped early in Obama’s presidency and the plant remains closed, the closure was planned before Obama became president.”

    In summary, most of the plant’s workers were laid off by December 2008 and only 57 production workers were still employed there in 2009. And, in summary, what Ryan said about it — and what you said about it in your post #2 in this thread — is still misleading. The decision to close this plant was made, and most of the layoffs occurred, before Obama became president. And he never promised to save the plant.

Try searching ‘by all means necessary’ although if that came out of, say, Maria Cantwell’s mouth one wouldn’t assume she included violence as one of the means. By the same token, if I said something like ‘We need to have a Republican Congress by all means necessary.’ it shouldn’t imply that I favor a violent takeover of Congress.

    I heard someone on the radio give the “Democratic Plant” argument about the yahoos who threw penuts at the black CNN camerawoman. He insisted he believed it was true because “both sides do it” and it wasn’t credible that someone would do that at a convention. He said he heard it from somewhere.

    The CNN camerawoman spoke out for the first time today. She said she didn’t want the incident to be used for partison purposes, but as a teaching opportunity about racism. She said she was told by convention security that they wouldn’t name the individuals, but they thought they were “alternates”, not delegates. Not that that makes much of a difference.

    It sounds to me like Karl Rove’s classic “whispering campaign” designed to nullify a potentially damaging problem. Interesting that they took two days to come up with it.

    So what is more credible – that at least a few Republican delegates or alternates are racist who reacted to an African American woman in a technical profession for a so-called “liberal” news media outlet with racist and sophomoric antics; or that Democratic operatives managed to work their way through the entire delegate-selection process for the GOP and get credentials which are only available to delegates, alternates, convention workers, and the news media?

But I had a different dream. My dream was to serve others, to make this world a little better place, especially for those most in need of a helping hand. Like countless teachers, cops, soldiers, and other public servants, I thought that I could best do that in public service. Marco Rubio is a fine young man but he is speaking for a political party that has taught two generations of Americans that government — their own government, our government — is their enemy, is evil, is a destroyer of the good things in life. And I have known too many fine public servants to believe that.

    P.S., public servants don’t get to live in mansions or drive Porsches; and that’s not their goal in life. Is that less admirable than people whose life goals center around the accumulation of personal wealth?

    …he is speaking for a political party that has taught two generations of Americans that government — their own government, our government — is their enemy, is evil, is a destroyer of the good things in life.

    To paraphrase Mitt Romney, “Government, my friend, is people.”

    It’s just that a democratic government is representative of and responsive to all citizens, and that’s what they despise, and must destroy.

  168. 168

    puddy, if you as a person in the real world are half as dishonest, stupid, malignant and snide as the persona you play here, you are a profoundly wasted life.

  169. 169

    @163 Maybe the reputable news media would treat Republicans better if they didn’t lie so damned much.

  171. 171

    Yes, cuz under Obummer they lost their high paying job so as Americans’ they took two jobs at lower pay because they believed in the American dream even though Obummer’s policies DESTROYED their livlihood!

    An utter and complete misapprehension of the experience of working people in the age of virulent Republican anti-unionism and the destruction of the American wage-earning family and their income.

  173. 173

    Yes, you buffoon, I used the word ‘NIGGER’. So what?

    That’s What? It’s you progressives who project your own loser immorality on your opponents. Per libtard progressive blacks such as Jackson and Sharpton you have NO RIGHT to use that word. Your fingerprints are all over this blog using that word! And it’s very telling the only two who came to your defense were the most stupid here… ylbuttspigot and rujax the reservation dweller. Not even ROGER SENILE Wabbit spoke to your defense Lib da schmuck. Very telling.

    Racist pig!

  175. 175

    puddy, if you as a person in the real world are half as dishonest, stupid, malignant and snide as the persona you play here, you are a profoundly wasted life.

    Hold that thought Lib da schmuck. Keep saying that over and over and over.

    And right on time ylbuttspigot drops another diarrhea load. Puddy going for #1 buttspigot. And I only post around work hours unless I am off that day!

  176. 176

    Ya see Lib da schmuck, Allen West and Tim Scott blow away your racist spiel. All you do is ambush others with your “glorious thoughts” of horse manure.

  177. 177

    It’s you progressives who project your own loser immorality on your opponents. Per libtard progressive blacks such as Jackson and Sharpton you have NO RIGHT to use that word..

    LibSci used it to illustrate right wing messaging.. The right wing is sending out racist dog whistles all over the place. He NEVER called you or anyone else that YOU MORON!

    GBS used it a few times. He was criticizing Mr. Klynical’s racist jokes. PL and others told him it wasn’t a good idea to use it like he did.

    Did you pipe up back then?

    No. You hadn’t YET thought to stab him in the back!

  178. 178

    puddy, if you as a person in the real world are half as dishonest, stupid, malignant and snide as the persona you play here, you are a profoundly wasted life.

    Project much Lib da schmuck? It’s a Psych 101 thing.

  179. 179

    What did Puddy say above?

    And it’s very telling the only two who came to your defense were the most stupid here… ylbuttspigot and rujax the reservation dweller.

    And look who arrives right on time; ylbuttspigot. Pavlov is always right!

    LibSci used it to illustrate right wing messaging..

  180. 180

    He NEVER called you or anyone else that

    Oh yes he did, though his implication!

    Man you are sooooo stupid buttspigot. You always talk out you arschloch. Clueless as always!

  181. 181

    This fuck isn’t smart, funny, or informative.

    And you are rujax?

    Bwaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaa

  182. 182

    Puddy recently posted this correct and factual statement…

    The job of many liberal journalists these days apparently is to discern veiled Republican racism wherever they can find it – or make it up.

    Lib da schmuck has taken that mantle here on HA!

  183. 183

    Mitt Romney tonight: “President Obama Promised to Slow the Rise of the Oceans. My Promise Is to Help You and Your Family”

  186. 186

    Oh yes he did, though his implication!

    BULLSHIT! YOU LIE you miserable hater!

    Racist right wingers are stirring up old resentments!

    THEY ARE PROMULGATING LIES! And YOU ARE SILENT!

    They say to a black woman: this is how we feed animals!

    YOU ARE SILENT!

    They say about Michelle Obama: “she doesn’t act like a first lady and doesn’t look like a first lady.”

    YOU ARE SILENT!

  189. 189

    And right on time ylbuttspigot drops another diarrhea load. Puddy going for #1 buttspigot.

    And right on time ylbuttspigot appears with

    433 comments or almost 62 comments a day or 2 and change comments an hour for a whole week!

    PWNED!

  191. 191

    Oh yes he did, though his implication!

    Moronic, self-righteous, dishonest. Not true.

    Fuck you puddy, and all your mawkish feigning of injury.

    You defend racists all day long around here. This pretend injury and insult you’re braying about is a figment of your imagination, or, more likely, what you perceive is a chance at a cheap shot and a way to win an argument.

    Fuck you. I’ll use any word I want and I won’t apologize to you. I’ll call Republicans out for their vile racist appeals to vile racists, and I’ll type the word ‘nigger’ all day long if I have to to make this point because that’s EXACTLY what they’re saying.

    You’re just trying to silence an opponent, and you’re doing it in the service of a pack of racists who want nothing but for all of us to be serfs, and will stoke the ignorant racist id to get that.

    You are a pathetic lackey, and a nasty, sad excuse for a human being.

  192. 192

    It’s not Republicans who defaced the black Utah mayor’s internet page.

    It’s not Republicans who attacked Artur Davis in public or on the internet.

    It’s racist DUMMOCRAPTS like Lib da schmuck who call people they dislike NIGGER haters when they demonstrate their NIGGER hatred front and center. rujax is silent!

    They say to a black woman: this is how we feed animals!

    YOU ARE SILENT

    Because onvention leaders took care of those two people ylbuttspigot. You are a moron as always!

  194. 194

    It’s not Republicans who attacked Artur Davis in public or on the internet.

    Arthur Davis is a turn-coat, and asshole, a narcissist. He deserves what he gets. Several days ago I posted a critique from a former colleague in Alabma, a BLACK man.

    God you’re stupid.

  195. 195

    Because onvention leaders took care of those two people ylbuttspigot.

    The most paper-thin, pathetic, ineffective apology/deflection ever.

  196. 196

    It’s racist DUMMOCRAPTS like Lib da schmuck who call people they dislike NIGGER haters when they demonstrate their NIGGER hatred front and center.

    What the fuck are you even talking about, you crazy ass, Jesus-rode-a-dinosaur Bibul-thumpin’ apologist for David Duke?

  199. 199

    What the fuck are you even talking about, you crazy ass, Jesus-rode-a-dinosaur Bibul-thumpin’ apologist for David Duke?

    Prove it schmucko. Ask the HA buttspigot for proof. Good luck idioto!

    Once again you’re an angry lying ASShole!

  200. 200

    Arthur Davis is a turn-coat, and asshole, a narcissist.

    Wrong again schmucko. DO you ever read and process factual data? Artur Davis strove for a higher office… one that DUMMOCRAPTS reserved for a whitey DUMMOCRAPT. Artur Davis got in their way and he was rejected by white DUMMOCRAPTS.

    So here it is again schmucko. I realize it KABLAMMO’s your well practice mantra…

    Ummm nope you dope…

    H Carl McCall… DUMMOCRAPTS didn’t want a black man leading NY State as governor

    Southern DUMMOCRAPT Political Blacks who were destroyed by DUMMOCRAPTS who didn’t want them in places of power in the South

    Kendrick Meeks
    Artur Davis
    Thurbert Baker
    Ken Lewis
    Anthony Foxx
    Johnny Dupree

    Puddy knows the historical rejection of blacks when they strive for power in DUMMOCRAPT WHITEY strongholds!That’s because when you look through the microscope you see DUMMOCRAPTS are racist and rujax loves the reservation!

  201. 201

    The most paper-thin, pathetic, ineffective apology/deflection ever.

    Is that schmucko’s response for the vicious Mia Love attacks by DUMMOCRAPTS?

    Did you write some of those headless dorky dorkman lucy? It has your imprimatur all over that page.

  202. 202

    “I think people should start to practice the words ‘President Romney. To assume that the other side are just a bunch of ignoramuses who are supported by people who believe that Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs 6,000 years ago is to completely misjudge the opposition.” – Michael Moore

    Looks like he must have read an HA smegma entry from schmucko.

  203. 203

    Those were great testimonial about Mitt Romney and how he quietly left a lasting impact on the small people. Puddy wonders who will they trot out next week to say something similar about Obummer?

  204. 204

    It’s actually sad to read these alternately desperate, grasping, delusional, bombastic posts by ‘puddy’, whoever or whatever he is.

    You go on, puddles, keep shilling for the party of Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy (which is alive and well), of Jesse Helms and David Duke, the party of Joe Walsh calling Obama ‘son’, the party that brought us the ‘Kenyan’ or ‘Indonesian’ president with a Birth Certificate problem, the party of wholesale disenfranchisement aimed squarely at people of color. Remember this? Or this classic? Here’s another good one. Debbie Spenditnow? Good Christian Sharon Angle makes the list, too. You do that.

    You keep coming up with your Arthur Davis sob stories to tell yourself, that the Democrats are the party of keeping people ‘on the plantation’. You do that.

  205. 205

    Is that schmucko’s response for the vicious Mia Love attacks by DUMMOCRAPTS?

    Cry me a fucking river.

    Someone called her a ‘whore’ for her pro-corporate policy positions. Nice? No. Unusual or vicious, race-based, sexist? Nope.

    She was called an ‘Aunt Tom’ for being a Black politician grasping for power in the confines of the manifestly racist, paternal, Confederate Republican Party. Sounds about right.

    Your (non)response to your RNC compatriots throwing peanuts at a black woman operating a camera for CNN and saying, “This is how we feed the animals.” remains…

    The most paper-thin, pathetic, ineffective apology/deflection ever.

  206. 206

    There Lib da schmuck goes again… painting conservative black women as Aunt Tom.

    Your true progressive black hatred colors are on full display now Lib da schmuck.

    Where is that cacophony of HA libtards coming to your defense? Only rujax and the buttspigot. Yes those two are a superb pair.

    You actually think Puddy is gonna answer your pathetic counter charges after your use of the n-word? You are a real moron!

    Is that how you teach your children to think about conservative blacks? Aunt Toms? Sell-outs? Niggers? You are progressive waste. Your kind need to be flushed!

  207. 207

    You go on, Lib da schmuck, shilling for the carpetbagging party, those who invented the KKK & Birth of a Nation, those who supported Margaret Sanger and her Planned Parenthood or Oliver Wendell Holmes

    Here are some quotes from someone you hold in high esteem

    “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro
    population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

    Or this gem from the same woman

    “As an advocate of birth control I wish … to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the ‘unfit’ and the ‘fit,’ admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feebleminded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation.

    Of course rujax and ylbuttspigot are on your side never comprehending the true magnitude of Margaret Sanger wanting to exterminate their kind as unfit!

    That’s just the tip of the iceberg Lib da schmuck. You wanna throw history on this blog? Well let’s get down!!!

  208. 208

    Wow.
    Puddles is reduced to quoting a woman who died nearly 50 years ago, and uses quotes that are nearly a hundred years old.

    Puddles will spin spin spin to defend ‘the massa’

    Since I assume puddles isn’t really really rich (the only people who actually benefit from Republican policy), it must be the culture war shtick that has him hooked on ‘thugs, and notably, has him twisting to apologize for manifest Republican racism.

    The religiosity, the longing for a paternalistic/misogynistic neofeudal theocracy.

    IT’S the NOAH, STUPID!

    Yes, the Republican pandering to the nuts who believe the earth is 6012 years old, and that Noah saved the velociraptors on his big boat, that’s what allows puddles to see past the Lee Atwaters and the Jesse Helms and the Birthers and the Kenyans.

    Taking away birth control and stopping any teaching of evolution is more important to him than his own self respect.

    Sad.

  209. 209

    Yes, the Republican pandering to the nuts who believe the earth is 6012 years old, and that Noah saved the velociraptors on his big boat,

    Just as Michael Moore said about Lib da schmuck…

    “I think people should start to practice the words ‘President Romney. To assume that the other side are just a bunch of ignoramuses who are supported by people who believe that Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs 6,000 years ago is to completely misjudge the opposition.” – Michael Moore

    See the similarities HA leftists?

    Is that how you teach your children to think about conservative blacks? Aunt Toms? Sell-outs? Niggers? You are progressive waste. Your kind need to be flushed!

    Bernanke: Spending Cuts Harming The Economy, May Lead To Further Fed Stimulus

    Brian Beutler-August 31, 2012, 1:19 PM3267

    In a speech delivered at a Federal Reserve retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Friday in unusually clear terms that spending cuts at both the federal, state, and local level have become significant impediments to economic growth, and made a public case for further monetary easing — remarks which have leading fed watchers predicting that the central bank will announce a new round of asset purchases (so-called quantitative easing) in September.

    A 1%-er leaving the reservation…oh noes!!!

    Gov. Sam Brownback Admits Romney Ads Lie About Welfare

    By karoli

    Thank you, Governor Brownback.

    Yes, he dodges and feints with the whole “dependency on government” thing, but he admits at about one minute in that the ads are untrue, leaving himself a tiny bit of wiggle room to back off, but not enough

    Ruh roh…
