What is so sad is how easily the american people are fooled, over and over and over. While we argue among ourselves, the richest and greediest people on the planet are stealing everything, we almost deserve it.

Mitts binders full of women not even true.With three separate competing websites, a Facebook page thats already received almost 250,000 likes, and a Twitter account that had attracted 13,000 followers before the debate ended, theres no question that Mitt Romneys comments about searching through binders full of women was the breakout viral star of last nights presidential debate. But the comment is as revealing as it is funny.The remark came in response to a question about what each man onstage would do for women, and Romneys answer was essentially that hes hired lots of women over his lifetime and has responded to their needs by providing things like a flex schedule so they could pick kids up at school. We took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet. I went to a number of womens groups and said, can you help us find folks? And I brought us whole binders full of of women, Romney said.But that story turns out to be not quite true, according to veteran Boston Phoenix journalist David Bernstein. As Bernstein pointed out last night, what actually happened is that a bipartisan coalition of womens groups came together to compile lists of eligible female candidates for office before the 2002 gubernatorial election had even occurred. Romney says he went to a number of womens groups and asked them for the binders, but the opposite is true they went to him. Bernstein also notes that many of the senior-level women Romney hired were given control of departments and agencies that were not a priority for the governor, while there were almost zero women working on the budget or businesses development, areas that Romney cared more about.Vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan defended Romneys comments on CBS This Morning, saying, All he simply meant was that he went out of his way to try to recruit qualified women to serve in his administration when he was governor. That claim seems to be undercut by the fact that the groups came to Romney, instead of the other way around. Ryan added, By the way, he has an exceptional record of hiring women in very prominent positions in his administration.But that too may be a bit overly boastful. During Romneys tenure in the governors mansion, the number of women in high-level positions actually declined by almost 30 percent, according to a 2007 study from the coalition of womens group responsible for the binders effort.Meanwhile, the Boston Globe noted last night that if Romney was really concerned about hiring women to senior positions, it seems to have started only when he entered public life. At Bain Capital, his private equity firm, Romney did not have any women partners during the 1980s and 1990s. Romney, the Globe added, did not have a history of appointing women to high-level positions.UPDATE: And now straight from the horses mouth. MassGAP, the womens coalition responsible for the effort to get more women appointed to state government, gives the Washington Post a statement saying Romney has it wrong they, and not Romney, initiated the process . The group also notes that female appointments actually fell off during Romneys tenure.

Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that.Not positive, but I think what Mitt wants to do is end the tax payer part of funding abortion. Not yanking tax payer cash for pap smears and cervical cancer screening and mamograms and such. Of course the hard part is keeping the planned parent subsidy and making sure planned parenthood does not contnue using that specific cash for abortions, you know? Kinda like the big Americans for prosperity bru-ha-ha a wile back where Americans for Prosperity was gettin cash from all sorts of folks and didn't make a specific account for that cash to make sure that cash didn't go to campaign advertisments.And this makes sense, to me. I have no problem with some of my tax dollars going to planned parenthood for non-abortion medical procedures, but I don't want my tax payer cash going to abortions. I'm pro-choice, barely, don't push it.Misty, the devil is in the details on this one.I suggest you go find the details, the youtube, or a transcript or sumpin from Mitt's site and prove to me that he wants to specifically end all support of planned parenthood and then maybe I'll come around to your side on this one issue.In other words... more horse, less monkey.

Mitt Romney flat-out lies about birth control because he's a flat-out liar.Let's not beat around the bush. We could call it a gaffe or a flip-flop or invoke some other euphemistic excuse from Very Serious Journalism dictionary, but let's not. The truth is, Mitt Romney is a liar.Yes, the latest pathetic Democrat Talking Point Lie is that Romney is a liar. Liberal Obama supporters can't win on his record or on the issues, so they lie about Romney.Planned Parenthood, we're going to get rid of that.He was referring to its government funding. It would survive on its own.Which has nothing to do with Romney allowing women the ability to buy birth control. However, they'd have to use their own money.He wants to end government funding of the largest abortion provider in the country.

Mitt Romney flat-out lies about birth control because he's a flat-out liar.Doesn't look like the Propaganda is selling.Obama's Hope Fades in Virginia.... if the GOP can win the state by enough of a margin that the networks call it early for Romney, that encouraging news may have a ripple effect westward in Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa and Nevada.Not long ago, this hopeful prospect might have seemed impossible for even the most optimistic Republican to imagine. As recently as Oct. 2, a Roanoke College poll reported President Obama leading by 8 points in Virginia, but in the past two weeks, the Old Dominion has shifted sharply toward the GOP challenger. Romney has led five of the seven most recent polls and, although the RCP average for Virginia still shows Obama with razor-thin lead, the Republicans here sense a strong enough momentum to carry them to victory on Nov. 6.Anyone driving through this part of the state would notice the proliferation of yard signs for Romney, his running mate Paul Ryan and Allen's Senate campaign, while signs for Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrat Senate hopeful, Tim Kaine, are surprisingly rare.http://spectator.org...des-in-virginia

Misty, the devil is in the details on this one.Last Spring Mitt Romney said, "Planned Parenthood...we're going to get rid of that."Google it.He never said anything about de-funding only the part of PP that provides abortions.Under the Hyde Amendment it is already illegal for PP to use taxpayer money for those services, and Planned Parenthood is subject to routine audits to ensure that law is not being broken. Abortion is a small part of the services that PP provides.Every year they provide affordable contraception for nearly 2.5 million patients, nearly 1 million cervical cancer screenings, 830,000 million breast exams and nearly 4 million tests and treatments for sexually transmitted infections, including a half million HIV tests.

Last Spring Mitt Romney said, "Planned Parenthood...we're going to get rid of that."Google it.He can't "get rid of it" except to the degree he'll end federal funding of it.So? Liberals live off Other People's Money, and Romney to a large degree is going to end that. That's why liberals are bleating in outrage.Abortion is a small part of the services that PP provides.The country is going literally bankrupt. What's your plan to balance the budget?What's Obama's?Crickets.

Tagg Romney Wanted To 'Take A Swing At' Obama For Saying Mitt Romney Wasn't Telling The TruthIn an interview with North Carolina radio host Bill Lumaye on Wednesday, Mitt Romney's son Tagg said that he wanted to "rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at" President Barack Obama during last night's presidential debate at Hofstra University. Lumaye asked Tagg Romney what it was like "to hear the President of the United States call [his] dad a liar" nine times during the debate last night when Obama suggested that something Romney said was not true. You want to jump out of your seat, and you want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him, Tagg said in response to Lumaye's question. But you know you cant do that, because well, first, because theres a lot of Secret Service between you and him but also because this is just the nature of the process. They're going to try to do everything they can do to make my dad into something he's not."Something he's not? Newsflash Tagg, your Father IS a liar.That has been proven time and time again.I wonder if Tagg thinks it's okay that his Father's behavior during the debate was that of a bully?He was testy, rude and downright disrespectful to the POTUS.But it seems that to Republicans it's okay to disrespect this POTUS.Yelling out 'you lie' during his address to Congress or wagging your finger in his face is perfectly acceptable behavior.If the roles were reversed and Romney were the POTUS and Obama the candidate, and Obama was as rude to Romney as Romney was to him, saying things like,'you'll get your chance in a moment. I'm still speaking' the right wing blogs and talking heads would have been running around with their heads on fire.

Billy Graham Takes Mormonism Off Cult List (CNN) - Shortly after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney enjoyed cookies and soft drinks with the Rev. Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham on Thursday at the elder Graham's mountaintop retreat, a reference to Mormonism as a cult was scrubbed from the website of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. In a section of the website called Billy Graham's My Answer there had been the question "What is a cult?" Answer: "A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith." "Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesess, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spritualists, Scientologists, and others," the site continued. No longer. On Tuesday, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed that page has recently been removed from the site.Anything to keep the colored guy from being re-elected.
