Romney is a rich guy. I don’t hold it against him. Rich guys have accountants to handle their money. I don’t care.

The worst thing lately is this attempt to make the nice family vacation Romney had at a strange place: his OWN HOME and they played on his OWN BOAT.

Dozens of kids about and a couple still together who seem to like each other.

It was horrible.

These current attacks on Romney make me think they’re really not able to find much of anything against the guy.

I know several people who are now on SSD who are in their 20’s and 30’s. The biggest reason—Drug Addiction! Yes, you can get SSD for doing drugs now.

I recently taught a class for the regional Social Security office here. They told me they’ve been directed by the highest echelons of their agency to approve more SSD claims as quickly as possible!

They’re not happy. They told me fraudsters and ne’er-do-wells they’ve previously rejected are now getting approved in record numbers.

When they’ve brought up the costs issue and how this will further erode the deficit SocSec is currently under they’re told to shut up and not worry about it.

The thing about Fox News is that you need to start early in the morning.

I set my box to tape Fox and Friends. They have the news, 3 conservative hosts that I like and a little fun stuff along the way.

The next show is good also.

The further you get into the day, the worse Fox gets.

But it’s still the best of the news channels. I don’t watch it in the evening at all.

The Obamedia is has prepared the people to hate the wealthy and we will see if Americans are going to fall for it.

[Fishtalk]

My liberal mother-in-law, 82 years old, lives in Mass., makes me furious at times with her silly, silly....voted for Obamer in 2008.

She thought he had adorable children and I suspect she wanted to prove to herself how open-minded she is by voting for a black man. She loves that lesbian on MSNBC to get an idea where this dolt is coming from.

So last week I took keyboard in hand and wrote her a heartfelt email, as is my wont.

I told her that the SC had not repealed Obamacare, I reminded her how she declared with assertiveness that the silly health care law would never be passed, that now it is and then I stated, with all the skill of my fingers and mind.....

Betty, YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO OBAMACARE IS GOING AFTER!!!!!

A year or so ago she fell down and broke her wrist. She was almost 80 at the time. The treatment for this involves some kind of operation that makes the wrist heal better, I’m fuzzy about it.

However they seldom do this because older people’s bones don’t heal so well. Her wrist WOULD heal but it would heal better if she had the pins put in.

The doctor felt that since she was such a vibrant and healthy then almost 80 year old that she was worth the effort for the procedure not normally done for those over 75.

It would turn out that her bones were like “butter”, is how she described it, and the procedure wasn’t sucessful.

However her wrist did heal but you can see where it’s a bit crooked.

I told her that under Obamacare such a thing would NEVER, not EVER, happen.

Because she’s a wealthy woman but she’s on Medicare. I told her the Medicare people would never have allowed that decision made by her and her doctor.

It was a good decision as my medically naive self saw it. She is very healthy for her age and if nothing else, she’s very concerned about OBamacare, never mind that she elected the man for his blackness and adorable children.

She wrote me back, told me she very much was worried about the health care, and that she would vote her conscience.

Which means what, I don’t know.

But I honestly made a stab of trying to bring truth to one naive bit of a dimbulb.

She’s not a dumb woman; she’s a liberal.

She’s an Independent.

She and her ilk are very much part of the problem.

Until they realize this idiots like Obama will remain our president.

[Miss Marple]

I have been running the sprinklers from 6:30 in the morning until 10 at night, watering sunny areas in the early morning and dusk hours, and shady areas the rest of the time.

It is going to cost a fortune in water bills (last month’s was $200 and that is before I really started getting serious).

I have an established garden with roses, a large multi-trunk birch, a dawn redwood, and numerous perennial beds with heirloom plants from my late father and my late mother-in-law.

I do not spend money on fancy clothes, gourmet food, or luxury cars. My luxury is watering, and I am fortunate that due to my dear husband hauling himself off to Africa for work in the gold fields, I can afford it.

So I am watering until they tell me it’s against the law. It would cost me way more to replace the items, even if I didn’t have a sentimental attachment to the plants.

As far as annuals, I didn’t put any in this year (this is our 3rd year of summer drought) except a few patio pots and some hanging baskets on the porch. I can water those with 2-3 watering cans full.

I can’t stand Portman either. She was horrible in Black Swan.

It's all about getting DBM passes. As long as O’Kardashian is able to twist numbers and the truth in almost everything he does/says he will keep doing it.
There are however a couple of hard to twist details coming up. They are here.

Is zero using a bogus SS #? We shall see

Seems the Globe has discovered some discrepancies in the bc ozero claimed as well as other problems like the guy who phonied it pt to begin with.
......................................................
Also a lady in Ohio, don't have the link handy, has challenged ozero being on the ballot(she's an expert PI by the way) since the sequence in his ss number does not match. Sounds a bit familiar like his bc #’s in Hawaii.
Cumulatively, its all hitting the fan and very well could blow up.
Zero may have not alternative but to resign.

They could explode at almost any moment.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

1,547,000 initial [+revised] claims for unemployment vs. 80,000 [not 84,000 as Obama claimed] new jobs for the month.

Not to mention, 85,000 new Social Security Disability claims for the month!

[kabar]

Romney is WEAK. The moderator on FOX News asked WHY is Romney so WEAK and not rebutting Obama. Why is Romney not being more aggressive against Obama’s ads, FOX News wanted to know.

Romney is rebutting Obama, but the MSM narrative would like to ignore it. Murdoch is not happy with Romney over the immigration issue. He wants Romney to walk back his tough stance during the primaries. Romney refused.

Romney at Langone, Murdoch, Blankfein meeting: I won't be 'flip-flopper' on immigration

Regardless of the polls, positive or negative, the real race won't begin until after Labor Day. Most Americans are not paying attention. This election will be a referendum on Obama, as are most elections dealing with an incumbent. Do the American people want four more years of Obama?

There is plenty of time for Romney to craft his message prior to the convention. I can't get excited over the MSM's "concern" that Romney is not responding sufficiently to Obama's attacks. This coming from a MSM that has failed to vet Obama and acts as his propaganda machine. The fact is that Obama, the incumbent, is running well below 50% approval. I don't think the MSM can save him. Widespread voter fraud might.

[Fishtalk]

Oh dear Lord, drug addiction?

Never thought that would qualify as a disability.

You mark my words, this disability thing is going to be a real problem.

It’s being used as a kind of welfare as I see it.

[Alas Babylon!]

Sweat was pouring off of me, stinging my eyes and making me cuss.

We have this down here until October. It's called "Alabama".

If Chris (but-but-but-but-but) Wallace had the same righteous aggressiveness towards rats as he does with conservatives then I'd agree with you. As it is, he softly coos and pets the rats while interrupting and DNC talking pointing the right.

[altura]

LOL.

On Facebook, there is a little thingee that says ‘post picture’. If you click on it you are sent to browse where you can select a pictue and then click post.

I can master that.

Vote your conscious means vote for the Black guy and eliminate your White guilt. For the wealthy they believe they are not going to be hurt like working people and she may be right except on the Medicare.

[Morgan in Denver]

It shouldn’t be a surprise. Democrats use the same mind set running a war that they use running a country.

[rodguy911]

Try and understand this sore loserman:

1. Get rid of commies.

2. Get rid of Rinos.

Simple enough for you?

Miss Marple:
"Romney HAS answered many of these charges,
and there is also a saying about
“Not firing until you see the whites of their eyes.”

Miss Marple, It is so good to see you here.
First, the saying comes from a time of limited ammunition,
and where the reloading might take too many
minutes, even for a jouneyman in the militia.
The saying was the command from William Prescott,
at the Battle of Breeds Hill (Bunker Hill);
and Prescott's tongue specified "color” rather than “whites.”

Second, such behavior in the fight for America
(SSDD?) hardly holds in the time of electrons and keyboards.

Second, Mr. Romney has answered nothing.
He never does. He FLEES. He HIDES.
He shouldn't.

He has his wife protect him. Even this week.
And he shouldn't have let her interrupt him if he wanted to be taken seriously.

FAST and FURIOUS [Romney is silent and hiding]
He should have been and be outspoken. Where is HE?

RomneyCARE/Obamacare [Romney is silent, on the defensive, and hiding]
He should EXPLAIN ... and RECANT Socialized Medicine and STATISM.

Miss Marple, the time for him to speak up is NOW
as the following cartoon truly does note;
a 'barometer' of this moment in time.

It IS against the law here in my town in Irving.

We have serious water restrictions. One can only water at certain times.

The only way one can water during daylight hours is with a soaker. I have moved soakers until I can scream.
