Old news... http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0901/02/cnr.06.html (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They are about to become instant partners in trying to cure what's been called the 100- year headache. The effort to find some kind of lasting peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians. This week, that headache may have turned migraine. Whether Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton can easily approach the two sides with one voice is still unclear. JON ALTERMAN, CTR. FOR STRATEGIC AND INTL. STUDIES: I think that the Israelis look at President-elect Obama and they're a little uncertain. It s not that they don't have a strong supporter, but they're not as sure where this is going to go. TODD: Mr. Obama has been seen alternately as sympathizing with the plight of the Palestinians earlier in 2008 saying quote "nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." And expressing airtight solidarity with Israel. BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE UNITED STATES: Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. [...or] TODD: A remark he backed away from the following day. OBAMA: Obviously, it's going to be up to the parties to negotiate a range of these issues, and Jerusalem will be part of those negotiations. [...or] http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/world/middleeast/20speech.html?pagewanted=all ...A day before the arrival in Washington of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Mr. Obama declared that the prevailing borders before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war — adjusted to some degree to account for Israeli settlements in the West Bank — should be the basis of a deal. [Hey Barry, how's that platform working out?] Edited by kbp, Sep 6 2012, 01:22 PM.

Speaking of dumb-azzes DNC Features Speaker Who Was Victim of Bain-Owned Steel Company . . . One Problem, He Never Worked For Them… Via ABC News: The Democratic National Convention on Wednesday featured three speakers billed as “former employees of companies controlled by Bain Capital.” They each told compelling stories about jobs lost, allegedly because of the actions of Bain under Romney’s leadership. But it turns out one of those employees never actually worked for a company controlled by Bain Capital. David Foster was supposedly one of those former employees on the convention schedule. He told the story about 750 steelworkers who lost their jobs when the Bain-controlled company GST steel filed for bankruptcy in the early 1990s. “In 2001, with GST bankrupt and Romney still CEO of Bain, I stood in front of hundreds of steelworkers in their 50s and 60s, and retirees in their 70s and 80s, and told them Romney and Bain had broken their promises. Jobs, vacation pay, severance, health insurance and pension benefits that were promised — they were all gone,” he said. But Foster, according to a former spokesman for GST Steel, never actually worked for the company. “David Foster was never an employee of GST Steel’s Kansas City plant. He was employed by the United Steelworkers of America as their regional union director to represent GST Steel, but was not employed at our facility,” according to BC Huselton, who was head of HR at GST. |

Last night I heard a whopper of a lie being told by one of the speakers. He was saying how GM "Government Motors" had repaid their entire bailout loan in just a short time. My dad was buying this crap hook, line, and sinker. I spent less then a minute on google and found out that government motors still owes us tax payers almost $30 BILLION on their $50 BILLION bailout loan. This wasn't the only thing I called BS on last night.

. Which brings up an excellent point. If the Bailout was so successful, we would've already been paid back. The UAW didn't have to shed a thing. They still have a Ultra-Luxury Golf Course and club. It's easy to spend other people's money. . |

Sandra Fluke: I’m Looking Forward To An America Where Women Need The Federal Government To Tell Them What To Do… AHHHHHH hahahahahahaha THIS is the war on women...by sander fluke For Sandra Fluke, an America where Mitt Romney is president is entirely incompatible with women’s rights, according to her speech during the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night. [...] Fluke’s free-America is an America where citizens have to pay for the life choices of others, even if they disagree with them. An America where women are talked into the life-changing decision of abortion without any education or information about the negative consequences. What Fluke wants, in her own words, is, “a country where we mean it when we talk about personal freedom,” not, “one where that freedom doesn’t apply to our bodies or to our voices.” It looks like Fluke needs a few lessons on what freedom looks like. Because at the moment, she’s looking forward to an America where women need the government to tell them what to do and how to behave with no choice or information, instead of a government that trusts women to make their own informed and independent choices. And the worst part? She’s calling it freedom. Keep reading… Credit: weaselzippers Edited by chatham, Sep 6 2012, 03:42 PM.

Have any of you watched any of the Interviews with Dems attending this convention? Let's just say, I don't think many Mensa meetings had to be canceled due to drop in attendance. |

They need a little time delay in the broadcasting for Bite It ...judging from the display of management skills there with the "God" issue, I think a 3-4 day delay should be sufficient. |
