and resurrecting AttackWatch for the 2012 campaign. “Truth Teams” will first launch in the “swing states” recruiting up to 2 million supporters for “grassroots communication teams”. These teams will be haranguing undecided voters and Independents and pushing for their vote. They will be using their campaign websites to attack their opposition. Since BO can’t run on a record of achievement, this is what they will resort to, campaign smears and tactics that undermine our political process.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said the initiative reflects a desperate attempt to spin Obama’s negative track record from his first term.
“The Obama campaign is organizing propaganda teams to deceive voters because Americans are catching onto the reality that Obama’s record doesn’t match his rhetoric,” Kukowski said in an email. “How else will they mask the broken promises like introducing another trillion dollar deficit or the fact that the president continues to recycle the same proposals without ever seeing results?”

the “Keeping GOP Honest” site “Keeping His Word” site and “Attack Watch” are zeroing in on Romney.
Good name for them….
Not to be cynical, but, how long do you think it will take for Team Truthers to roll out the class warfare card, race card and Mormonism card?
Team Truthers….LOL
Time to roll out the funny on the Team Truthers and Attack Watch!!
Since BO is rolling out the Team Truthers it would be nice of them to correct Lew and his lies to the American public on why a budget hasn’t been passed since BO was elected.
[...]Lew’s statement is patently false, however. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 prohibits filibusters of budgets, requiring only a simple majority, or 51 votes, for passage. In the event of a 50-50 tie, Vice President Joe Biden would cast the deciding vote.
As the left-leaning Center for Budget and Policy Priorities points out: “The budget resolution … requires only a majority vote to pass, and its consideration is one of the few actions that cannot be filibustered in the Senate.”
Democrats currently occupy 51 seats in the Senate. The number rises to 53 when one includes independents Joe Lieberman (Conn.) and Bernie Sanders (Vt.), who frequently vote with Democrats. Majority Leader Reid would therefore need exactly zero Republican votes to pass a budget.[...]
http://freebeacon.com/lew-doesnt-know-jack-about-budgets/
if you are implying that democratic members and Obama can and for some reason haven’t passed a budget, because of simple majority, you are wrong and you know it. Typical of right wing/teaparty groupthink from faux new. Read a book and educate your dumb ass.
HOT damn! A new paid troll! AND a vulgar one.
YES, they can, Reid refuses to bring any budget to the floor. The last one BO submitted got 97 no votes in the Senate….Who’s the dumb ass now…maybe you need to take your own advice instead of being a harpy….
From Politifact.com….seems Lew is one huge liar…and your outrage is ridiculous.
Notice the WH also says he’s wrong….sooooo, now you’ve learned something. Wasn’t that easy?

Calling their bluff…good on him…the last one failed with 97 votes against BO’s budget bill…Dem Senators running scared LOL

As soon as I find the new Attack Watch, I’m turning myself in as a anti-Oboma and that I do not believe that MO is a fashion icon. Also, I’ve been known to eat forbidden foods.
srdem65–did you get Lynn II’s email?
Hope so, sent the request twice….
send again please
OK…
Doing it now
Let me know when you get it. Thanks!
We’re good. Thanks, Lynn for your help.
Happy to….welcome
May as well, save the Obots all the confusion of doing it for you… LOL
Some of the dimmest bulbs on the planet are his supporters…others just want the Obamacashstash….
Sometimes all I can do is stare blankly at laid offorkers,in the process of foreclosure, still supporting Obama. Does it take him literally poising the heel of his dance pump directly on the napes of their necks to see what’s happening?
I call them simply what they are: Gushing Slobbering Zombies.
Still hoping for some of that Obama money….you know, the billions to bail them out…..
“offorkers”: (noun) evidently, slackers who thought their kiss up experience would qualify them to keep a job even if they were crap at it. They usually lose that bet.
I meant “Laid off workers.”
Thanks iPad and your strange, strange keyboard.
“President Obama’s budget plan calls for a bank tax twice as big as the one he proposed last year, a further sign he wants to make anti-Wall Street sentiment a major part of his re-election campaign.
The bank tax, also known as the “Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee,” first appeared in Obama’s 2011 budget and was projected to raise $90 billion over 10 years. A year later, in the wake of the mid-term elections and accusations from executives that Obama was “anti-business,” the White House cut the proposal by two-thirds to just $30 billion”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/obama-budget-would-double-bank-tax-size/2012/02/13/gIQA0bnJBR_blog.html
When will BO get it? Taxing/fining the banks means taxing the people. Sheesh.
Just heard a fascinating interview with the author of this article on Media Matters
“Yet those same interviews, as well as a detailed organizational planning memo obtained by The Daily Caller, also suggest that Media Matters has to a great extent achieved its central goal of influencing the national media.
…The group operates in regular coordination with the highest levels of the Obama White House, as well as with members of Congress and progressive groups around the country. Brock, who collected over $250,000 in salary from Media Matters in 2010, has himself become a major fundraiser on the left. According to an internal memo obtained by TheDC, Media Matters intends to spend nearly $20 million in 2012 to influence news coverage.”

YEP, Soros is also behind it…he’s a Nazi collaborator..hated in 7 or 8 countries because he crashed their economies….just can’t say enough about his influence and money…he makes me sick.
http://freebeacon.com/george-soros-misrepresents-political-activities-on-cnn/
Funny how George Stephanopoluos knew to ask about contraception at one of the Repub debates….call me cynical, but I think he got a memo…
We really have to pay close attention to the LSM….68% think they’re biased.
and to back up my claim of Soros money….
[...]According to one source with knowledge of what happened next, Brock was “terrified” that news of the gun would leak. “George Soros and a lot of groups connected to gun control are funding this group, and they wouldn’t be too happy that an employee of Media Matters was carrying a gun, especially when it was illegal in D.C.”[...]
Remember when Bin Laden was killed, and every single story on the news referred to the decision as a “gutsy call”. Somewhere I saw a clip of 12 to 15 talking news heads praising the gutsy call…I can’t find the clip now. I betcha’ the origin was MM. (I did find, however, that “gutsy call.com” redirects you to an Obama campaign web site.)
So, BO’s team listens to a druggie, who’s manic depressive and filled with paranoia and delusions of grandeur…..doesn’t say much for the losers at the left leaning news channels or the journolists.

Golly, for a minute I stuck an “a” between the B and the r in Brock.
He’s the nightmare in all our heads..
One and Done!!
Not surprised…both seem to be suffering the same sort of mental defects… LOL

YOU??? Give up? LOL not you!!
Thought for sure you woud find something to say about the Team Truthers….
Just got news that four months after foot surgery, I am heading for shoulder surgery. I was talking about pay for it (I am lucky becuase I have social security, but still what is left to pick up is not potato chips), and a relative said I could always go on SSI.
And then I realized. I have lived a thrify life for many years, denied myself many pleasures that others take for granted, so that I could handle “rainy days.” Now I face a rainy day that may drain every dollar that I have — and the happy news is that once I’m beggared I can go on SSI.
I thought, “Why did I bother to be thrifty?” I could have spent my money much faster, had many more indulgences, and when it was gone parade myself onto SSI so much the sooner.
It reminded me of my realization that I did not buy a house because I could not afford one — but the people who bought houses that they could not afford are getting $ help from the government — so who was the fool? them or me?
And when I go on SSI and welfare, I suppose I can at last have a cell phone like everyone else.
What is wrong here?
I’m sorry to hear about your many troubles. I hope all goes well.
.
Why you were thrify?, because you had pride and were not afraid of hard work. You saved, gave up some pleasures because you were responsible.
During the housing boom, we were amazed at the young families with small children who could afford to buy $350,000 homes and new cars. They had all the bells and whistles, gizmos and we were struggling to pay our electric bill. Where did these young people work that they made such big incomes, we wondered.
Well, it turns out that they couldn’t afford those homes, or all the gizmos but simply wanted them..Now, not later in life.
Nobody forced them to sign those loan papers, they just went blindly into debt.
Now, we, who saved and scrimped, paid our taxes, paid our bills are expected to bail them out.
The young people today have bought into the new gizmo..the super cell phones that do everything and cost a lot of money to buy and a lot to keep going each month. And, when the NEW cell phone comes out, they wait in line to buy it.
Don’t despair, don’t feel bad. The government can’t keep bailing out the ones who want everything today.
Take care.
And you will continue to vote Republican. The same people who plan to eliminate ssi and other social nets.
After explaining your situation, you get a reply that says, “I’m sorry to hear about your many troubles. I hope all goes well.” Not, what can I do to help you or any other offers of assistance.
Enjoy your cardboard box and cat food. I’m pretty sure most Republicans will think that the situation that you are in is really all your fault. You should have gotten a better education, better job, married better, saved more money, invested better, blah, blah, blah.
Who woke him.her/it?
Most of us on this board are Democrats…..now Independents….. LOL
We watched the 2008 race…..we are not a forgiving lot.
As for “how can I help you”….what do you know of anyone and their circumstances
Grow up and show some respect!!
ditto…
Word of warning…you can disagree…you do have the chance to post…but personal attacks will not be tolerated.
We don’t tolerate flaming.
You have the opportunity to come here and disagree, but it is not a “right”.
That is a VERY sweet distinction, Lynn II. Think I’ll steal it.
Go right ahead…

The horrid dress in a FL AM church event’
Today (Monday) National Medal of Arts & Humanities at WH
The second photo; nice dress. if she were to wear a SLIP under the dress it wouldn’t crawl between her legs. And, of course, she has to screw it up with those slutty boots.
She almost had me!! I thought, Wow, thatdressfits her nicely…butt then I looked down at the boots, they are boots, aren’t they? Then the dorkey hair…nope, she another mess, another nonicon moment. She doesn’t get it, she doesn’t get it!! Well, at least she covered the oiled up legs. She must have barrels of oil in the bathroom, this is mama oil slick of the White House.
The ONLY woman I know of who has camel toe in a dress…Sheesh!
The design of the first dress is horrible. The second dress is actually very flattering except it’s too short and the boots screw up the look.
Actually, most of the dresses by themselves are very nice, it’s the person wearing them who makes them look bad.
I think the 2nd dress flatters her, too, but as SrDem noted, can’t she wear a darned SLIP??!! And it seems that her makeup guy took the day off. I looked at several photos from that event, and even the eyebrows are barely sharpied.
I think we deserve some credit for her relatively new “trim” waist. If her paid sycophants didn’t find us constantly carping about her fitness hypocrisy, I think she’d still be shoving down the ice cream and lobster.
Oprah reduced to begging for viewers….how pathetic
http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/archives/51466
Never watched her before, and never will. I watched the view a few times, will never watch the 4 harpies of Obamahickville again. Any one that interviewed Mooch-Ella is also off my list. I love being here insted with the sane, bright and right-on Birdies!!
Nice work, Surber.
So that’s two, that I know of, whose fortunes have gone downhill since they aligned themselves publicly with the o’s: Oprah and Darden (Olive Garden). Serves ‘em right. Big HAH!
Think I’ll form a Vindictive Squad.

An article on voter registration, there are more voters than there are people. The article that links through Drudge lists Warren County, Ohio lists 106% voters per people.
My aunt worked for the Democratic Board of Elections, as did my sister. They would go to old folk’s homes, some of the oldsters were so far gone,, they could no longer speak. But yet the Dems cart them to the polls.
I was very young at the time, about 8 years old, but my mother would pull me out of school to hand out ‘vote for so and so” gifts at the retirement homes. Looking back, some of those places were inhumane, old women who could no longer communicate had their wheelchairs tied to the rails on the walls, Many of the older people smelled as if they hadn’t been bathed in a long time, there was food left on their trays from that morning. As a kid, I thought that’s how it was, as an adult, my mother and her vote farming cohorts should have seen something wrong, and reported it
Those people didn’t even know what day it was, much less know any of the political issues of the day, but they voted Democrat, whether they knew it or not.
Sorry this post is so long, but I was reminded of something else with this article. The Nyt articles brings up the florida Bush/Gore hanging chad fiasco,
There were many votes for Buchanan, which Gore got apoplectic about. Recall that On the ballot, Buchanan was listed in the space usually taken by the Democratic party.
I know the Votomatic machine enough to see that if you took a stack of blank ballots and put them through a Votomatic to save time, some of the ballots at the bottom would not be punched through, thus resulting in a hanging chad.
I theorize that a Dem worker prepunched a load of ballots, using past ballots listings as a guide, not realizing that Buchanon would take the Dem place on the ticket, and handed out the prepunched ballots to the ’roundups’- the old people from homes which I spoke about, the indigent, the homeless, etc..
The hanging chads, I theorize, were a result of the ballot puncher being fast and lazy,and stacking too many ballots in the machine.
I recall at least one Democratic rep having a Votomatic machine in the trunk of his car, ” for demonstration purpose”.
