Is that the same ambassador the Mitt Romney denegrated when he lashed out at the embassy for putting out an "apology"? You know, since the embassy and therefore the ambassador are "the administration"?

I didn't know the ambassdor, but I bet he grimaced at there being an apology!!

Talk about another big gaff!!!!!-------New Obama Campaign Ad: “Vote Like Your Lady Parts Depend on It”----The Obama campaign is, once again, reducing women to the sum of their reproductive organs — assuming that women voters have nothing else they are interested in other than abortion.------UPDATE: After massive criticism, the Obama campaign has removed the image from its Tumblr page.------ And this is our respectful President---How embarrassing!!--

I got my sample ballot and I don't like the order of the presidential candidates. The 2 major candidates should be listed 1 & 2. Here's how it reads:

Barack Obama
Jill Stein
Thomas Hoefling
Mitt Romney
Gary Johnson
Roseanne Barr

I think it's wrong.

U want to blame someone?? Blame the RNC for creating the process that ended up putting Romney near the middle.

Its their system. You get what you ask for sometimes.

It doesnt matter anyways moreluck, OBAMA will stomp Romney in California so it doesnt really matter where his name is. The outcome will be the same.

Peace

This is about how casual our politicians spend our money. It is something to remember the next time you hear one of them throwing around numbers.

I got this email and thought about a Congresswoman we FIRED two years ago. I live in the Democratic 1st District of Arizona. Ann Kirkpatrick was our representative. She walked out of a town meeting without saying a word back in 2010 when 2/3 of the people were upset about Obamacare. To show you how weak she was, in a Democrat controlled Congress, she failed to get a NON PARTISAN designation of National Scenic Area passed for the Sedona AZ area!!! Two days before she left office, she hired her campaign staff to her Congressional Staff and paid them over $100,000!



It is an outrage that this person is running again.


I am sure that you have seen this example before but it is tied to another politician’s request for $250 billion to rebuild New Orleans. The example below shows how outrageous the request is and why we have the deficit and debt we do.


The next time you hear a politician use the


Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.


A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases.


A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.


B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.


C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.


D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.


E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.


While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans ...
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.


Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
was asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
To rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
What does it mean?


A.
Well .. If you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman and child)
You each get $516,528


B.
Or... If you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets
$1,329,787
C.


Or... If you are a family of four...
Your family gets
$2,066,012


Washington , D.C.
..HELLO!
Are all the calculators broken??

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?


Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago...
And our nation was the most prosperous in the world.


We had absolutely no national debt...
We had the largest middle class in the world...
And Mom stayed home to raise the kids.


What happened?
Can you spell
'politicians'!

If 75% of Americans eligible to vote never vote for the winner of any Presidential election, why do we still call the process democracy?

If over 70% of Americans eligible to vote don't do so for the Presidential winner, why is he declared to have a mandate from the American people?

"On Wasting Your Vote"

[SIZE=-1]A disturbing number of Americans are going to end up wasting their votes in this next election. They’re unhappy with the status quo, but instead of changing it, they’re only going to reinforce it. I’m not talking about democrats who are so unhappy with Obama that they’re planning to vote third-party. I’m talking about democrats who are unhappy with Obama, but who are so afraid of Romney that they’re going to vote for Obama anyway and justify that vote by invoking “the lesser of the two evils” argument. It’s about time someone pointed out that it’s the invocation of that argument to defend otherwise indefensible political choices that has driven us relentlessly into our current position between a rock and a hard place.


Albert Einstein is reputed to have said that the greatest invention in human history was compound interest. I beg to differ. I think it’s the “lesser of two evils” argument. It’s brilliant. Give people two options, neither of which they find appealing, convince them that a third option, a genuinely attractive one, is just not practicable and that they must thus choose between the bad and the worse, and you’ll be able to get them to choose something they would never otherwise choose.


You can get people to do anything that way. You start by offering them a choice between something that is just marginally unpleasant and something that is really repellent. Once you’ve gotten them to choose the marginally unpleasant, you raise the bar (just a little mind you, you don’t want them to catch on to what you’re doing). Now you offer them a choice between something to which they have really strong objections and something that is deeply offensive. Most people, of course, will choose the former, if they think it’s either that or the latter. Now you offer people who’ve become inured to living under objectionable conditions a choice between even worse conditions and something that is truly unthinkable. It’s not mystery what they will choose.[/SIZE]

Nah, they didn't make it back across the border after visiting their families due to getting shot by all the guns Obama is passing out...Unfortunately too many Hispanics don't realize that Obama doesn't really care about them....How sad!!
