First, a little story.  I went into one of those month-by-month cellphone places which are outrageously expensive but are generally all poor people can do because they have no credit or bad credit.  I needed cell phones for a month for phone banking so I bought some and got a one month plan.

The young woman behind the counter, who was holding down the fort on her own, was efficient and pleasant.  We, of course, got to talking politics.  She confessed to me that she got paid $7.50 an hour and worked 10:00 am until 8:00 pm six days a week.  No overtime, no benefits.  And she had held the job for three years with no raises.  She gets Christmas Day and Thanksgiving afternoon off, but she gets paid for neither.  She said she doesn’t complain because her boss says that cheap labor is easy to find.  “I need the job,” she shrugged.

She is working 60 hours a week and she is the 47% Mitt Romney doesn’t care about.  Screw Mitt Romney.  Screw this woman’s boss.

Screw the Koch Brothers.

Koch Industries, the Wichita, Kan.-based company run by the billionaire Koch brothers, sent a voter information packet to 45,000 employees of its Georgia Pacific subsidiary earlier this month.

In it was a letter, dated Oct. 1, from Koch Industries president Dave Robertson implicitly warning that “many of our more than 50,000 U.S. employees and contractors may suffer the consequences” of voting for President Obama and other Democrats in the 2012 elections, a list of conservative candidates the company’s political action committee endorses and a pair of editorials: one, by David Koch, supporting Mitt Romney, and the other, by Charles Koch, condemning Obama.

That’s political extortion.  It’s economic terrorism.  It should be illegal.

Republicans are the only people on earth who never have to be worried about being threatened by compassion.  Well, them and maybe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Y’all, I hate these people.  I do.

Thanks to PolishSpring for the heads up.

You know that lying thing that Mitt Romney does?  It’s contagious.

The 6 Studies Paul Ryan Cited Prove Mitt Romney’s Tax Plan Is Impossible

Romney’s tax plan is a three-legged stool that doesn’t stand. Here’s how it works — or doesn’t. Romney wants to 1) cut tax rates across the board by 20 percent, 2) cut tax expenditures to pay for these tax cuts, and 3) maintain progressivity. The problem, as the Tax Policy Center pointed out, is there aren’t enough tax expenditures for the rich to pay for all the tax cuts for the rich. Romney’s plan only works if he cuts out the tax cuts for the rich, raises taxes on the middle class, or explodes the deficit.

No wonder Ole Joe was grinning from but butt to this eyebrows.

If the three choice for Romney are:  cut taxes for the rich, raises taxes on the middle class, or explodes the deficit, I’ll give you one dollar down bet on which one it will be.  Hint:  It won’t be the rich.

I hear Romney is holed up getting ready for the debate.  Getting his batteries changed and transplanting Dick Cheney’s old heart into his chest.

Fulshear, Texas.  An Obama sign that I helped raise the money to buy.

.

Yes, the police were notified and took a report after we assured them that we would prosecute if the rude jerk vandal was caught.  We replaced the sign and put a camera on it.

If I hear one more Republican in this county talk about personal responsibility, I am going to spit.

Thank you, Linda, for the heads up.

Think of all the really confused people and nutty people you’ve seen in your life.  When you get to the absolute  bottom, add this guy.

In New Jersey, a man who displayed a photo of President Obama dressed as a witch doctor is wondering what all the fuss is about. Bill Skuby, a shop owner, says the image just represents his political position…

“It always comes down to the race card,” Skuby, 66, told NJ.com of the backlash he’s received.

The witch doctor picture shows President Obama naked except for a headdress and loincloth, with a bone through his nose.

“If this is racism, then it’s reverse racism,” Skuby told the Asbury Park Press. “I think they’re as racist as they accuse me of being,” he said.

Somebody call in the medical examiner.  This guy’s brain is dead.

The picture?

Nope, that’s not racism.  That’s a political position.

Really?  It did?

This is a long local story but I suspect you have the same Republican crapola going on in your county.

Our local Republican Party is such a mess that it’s not even speaking to itself.  One judicial candidate isn’t speaking to sitting judge because she thinks he supported her opponent in the primary and nobody can carry grudge like a Republican can.

Rick Miller: Thug

The former party chair, Rick “Thug” Miller, stepped down as chair while he runs for state representative but refuses to relinquish anything other than the title.  He installed a woman he thought would be a puppet and when she wouldn’t, he and the Belles of Heaven  began a vicious gossip attack about her.  She resigned but carefully documented it for all to see.

Bruce Fleming, the felony chronic fraudulent voter, took $10,000 from the party and is refusing to give it back, claiming he’s going to win, walk on water, and drive Santa’s sleigh this Christmas.

Nehls: NOT wearing a Nazi uniform

And then there’s Troy Nehls, who was Fleming’s mentor.  Nehls is running for sheriff to keep the tradition of short white boys who are damned and determined to keep the sheriff’s department as political as possible. His degree is from Jerry Falwells’s Liberty University.

So this trio of fellas, who are so white and so entitled,  took over the local GOP.  They gave large campaign contributions to Fleming and Miller and not to any other candidates.  They are oh so entitled.

But, here’s where the story gets fun.

After the Fleming story broke, they all decided that what they needed to do was send a six page full color mailer touting themselves to everyone in the county who had not voted in the Democratic primary.  That’s a whole mess of people.

So, next we hear that they had to get the State Republican Party to pay for the mailer.  We wondered why the state party had to pay for it when the local Republicans had a cool $81,418.46 in the bank.

And that’s when we heard what they had done with the money.  They rented a whole damn baseball stadium for their victory party.

Since it is highly unlikely that Mitt Romney is going to give them something to celebrate, this appears to be a very expensive Holy Coronation of a sheriff and state representative.  Hell, a royal wedding would be cheaper!

I have no idea what it costs to rent a whole damn baseball stadium, but I’m gonna call and ask what it costs to do a fly over with a little airplane waving an Obama banner.  Wouldn’t that be cool?  And what if local Republicans are so damn disgusted with the Three Amigos selfish takeover of the local GOP that they just don’t vote in those three races?

And these guys want us to trust them with taxpayer money?

The bottom line:  the Oh So Entitled Boys are getting a bailout because they didn’t spend their money wisely.   I do believe that includes them in Romney’s 47%.

Yes, I do.
