The one-percent came out in support of Mitt Romney, wining and dining at three separate fundraisers. Ed Schultz discussed campaign cash last night with the panel, including Democratic strategist Keith Boykin, Republican strategist Ron Christie, and political comedian John Fugelsang.

Obama takes cash from the 1%ers as well, he is one by the way.
People are giving cash to mitt due to the fact they do not like what has been going on the past 3 years.
Obama has spent $1 trillion tax payer dollars every year in office. Funny when he was in the senate he opposed increasing the debt, guess that went out the window with all the rest of his campaign promises...
Then add the over 8% uneployment rate for the past 41 months

Hi, MD.....Do u thunk?
Hey TM - ♥♥♥♥♥ !!!! nananananaaaah !!! ♫-♪♫-♫-♪-♫-♪♪ !!!
Show off! :(
Sorry == ;>/
@Hole-E-$h!t,
I would love to be respectful of everyone, but you ...
WFT?
Reagan, Bush #1, and Bush #2 increased the deficit about $9 trillion WHILE raising unemployment.
Obama wanted to cut the military in order to save money as a result of ending the war in Iraq, but republicans are blocking attempts to reduce government spending (click here).
Homework assignment:
Why are republicans opposed to spending cuts now that we can cut $1 billion/week because of Iraq?
so both bush 1 & 2 added 9 trillion in 12 years...
obama has added over $4 trillion in 3 years do the math.
Ho-lee-cow, say it fast, your hours are numbered.
India - How can IT Say anything - When IT has Nothing to Say !!!!!!
LOL...
You liberals on this blogg are to funny.
You think you have all this power .
You think I even care?????
What is going to happen when:
Obama did start not any wars (QED.: easy to prove this is delusional).
Have you consulted your doctor about this? I understand they have new treatments.
When morons fly planes into bulidings in the USA you want your man in the white to go and kick some ass..
Next obama has sent troops into battal as well.
And bush is not in office any more did you forget that one little point.
Stop blaming the guy that has not been behide the wheel for the past 3 1/2 years.
haveacow = Ya JUST Dont Get It - Do Ya !!! No-Abla - No-Comprendo !!!! DUH-Da-DIT !!!
I get it, every time I pay my taxes on the 15th of April every year.
And I get it up the back side.
Well Geeeez haveacow == You Must Be the ONLY One - hey !!!??????
Notice always brag about things they can not prove.
ho-lee-cow: Well, since Shrub didn't figure his two illegal wars into his budgets-- no, every month they were "emergencies"-- and President Obama DID figure them into his budgets of course his costs would show to be more.
If you figure a budget, do you figure everything into your budget or do you leave out something so your budget looks real good? Shrub's budget looked real good because he left out a large expense. He didn't know how to figure a budget.
Susie...ok...so Bush didn't include them in the budget...next point. Should it have been included, yes. However, at this point what does it matter? The cost associated with the wars are included in the debt figures attributed to Bush as of the time he left office.
What does any of that have to do with the annual deficit that Obama is running up?
just saying...
No you are not just saying you are just ignoring anything that capt finds causes him to doubt his faith in the GOP.
Before the Bush Recession
Supply Side Tax Cuts Failed to Deliver Jobs and Income Growth between 2001 and 2007
By Joshua Picker February 2009
This and other efforts of the “Bush Legacy Project” to rehabilitate the last administration’s job creation image and defend its tax cuts ignore the stark reality that the Bush administration’s tax policies fostered the weakest jobs and income growth in more than six decades, and ignored alarming labor market trends in minority communities. This record of anemic job creation was accompanied by sluggish business investment and weak gross domestic product growth that characterized the period after the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 went into effect.2
Yet conservatives continue to argue for another round of permanent tax cuts similar to those of the Bush administration. Even if all of the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire as scheduled, the projected cost of the Bush tax cuts to the federal budget over the next ten years is $3.9 trillion, an average of 1.4 percent of the country’s total economic activity (GDP)3 per year. Those asking for more permanent tax cuts continue to justify the cost, claiming tax cuts create jobs.
But their analysis ignores what actually happened during the economic cycle that began in March 2001 and ended in December of 2007 —which almost exactly coincides with the Bush presidency and the implementation of the Bush tax cuts. This period registered the weakest jobs and income growth in the post-war period. Overall monthly job growth was the worst of any cycle since at least February 1945, and household income growth was negative for the first cycle since tracking began in 1967. Women reversed employment gains of previous cycles. And for African Americans, the worst job growth on record was matched by an unprecedented increase in poverty.

What was the unemployment for the bush years???? answer 5.6%
americanprogress.org is a leftwingnutcase out let.
Obama wants to raise corporate tax to 45% in the mean time Canada just lowered there's to 15%!!!!!!
And guess what? JFK was a supply side president same for LBJ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^RE-REG^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And borrrrrringggg.
There are at least 2 re-regs we know for sure. Probably more.
@Whole-E-Jesus!,
Facts would be nice. I would like some. Ooohhhh ... wait ... here they are (click here).
Apart from president Alzheimer's, unemployment increased under every Republican and dropped under every Democrat for about 100 years.
US Department of Labor Statistics provides this information. Average unemployment is 0.9% better for each Democrat presidential term and about 1.5% worse for each Republican presidential term.
The last depression occurred during the Republican presidencies of Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. We are in another depression.
Do the math.
Obama over 8% for over 41 months..
Now try to remember his is the man in the white house not bush, reagan, nixon or all the rest you just posted.
This is obamas economy..
AVERAGE UNEMPLOYMENT BETWEEN 2001-2008 UNDER
PRESIDENT BUSH WAS
5.2%!!!
Under President Obama 40 STRAIGHT MONTHS OF UNEMPLOYMENT OVER 8%!!!
We should go back to the days of Rosie the Riveter. Back then there was no modern technology to take jobs from humans. Nowdays one machine can do the work of four people. So that's four people that don't have jobs.
Oh, lets have another World War and MAKE eligible guys and gals have to serve. That would reduce unemployment. One thing tho-- the sons and daughters of the rich HAVE to serve.
That wasn't what killed the industrial economy that was the doing of Reagans supply side bull@!$%# and Wal Mart who decided they could dictate to manufacturing what they would pay for the products they sold which many found impossible to do because they lost profits when Wal Mart demanded products for less then business could make them for. Then in came vultures like Mittens, who saw more profit from gutting businesses instead of investing in those businesses.
So true almost 6 trillion new dept and he still blames Bush. NObama doesn't take responsibility for anything, it's always some else's fault.
VOTE NObama 2012!!!!!!
Romney/NoHealthCare 1812!!!!
Since the beginning of the USA it was built by hard working Americans and many years ago we had a wealth of resources to help it on its way. With the onset of the industrial age this country was transformed into a giant and the envy of the rest of the world though invention and new technology jobs abound and many fortunes were made and to this day the relatives of the rich have had it made. Some of the resources have been depleted and we look elsewhere for them. Its been a monkey on the back of us. We need energy like no other country in the world. And time and oil is running out. We must reinvigorate the economy though what we have done in the past. Invest in new technology. Every past boom has been because of it and if we don't we will be lost in the dust of other countries that will. To make politics a race of who has the most money is no way for important positions to be filled. Its not wise even though its now allowed to do so. Me for one hates all the BS ads on the TV and radio. Its not the way to make choice for which way the country is to be led. Its like buying food do you just look at a picture of the apple you want to buy or do you look at the apple. If we must be subject to this barrage of propaganda it should be divided equally between all of the candidates if its PAC money regardless of party. It would end in a hurry.
xxxooo, I am becoming increasingly alarmed by these GOP governors refusing free coverage for Medicaid. PA has Tom (T-party) Corbett, who, if he refuses PA medicaid, my daughter-in-law could die. She has an expensive to maintain, fatal illness if not treated. She gets disability and medicaid. Her life depends on it. None of us together could afford her meds.
My God, they would let her die, and there would be no way to help!
Leave it to the compassionate conservatives!
TRC = That sounds like an Oxymoron to Me !!!!!! I Am Certain that,that was Your Intent !!!
Get a copy of the medical bills and proof of her condition and send it or bring it to Willard!
Chris, how did you manage to type "compassionate" and "conservative" in the same sentance? They don't go together. They don't fit. It had to have been a mistake or brain fart.
Are you lefties kidding me?
All you are worried about is who donates to Mitt Romney's campaign. This is ridiculous. It makes headlines.
Who is donating to Obama? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Obama has tons of fundraisers and he has his own millionaires and billionaries lefties...Soros..etc.
We don't care though. That is part of the system. Why do you nuts make such a big deal of who gives to who?
The left has the same opportunities for donors as the right does. What's wrong...you don't have people compassionate enough to give to the crazy left? Thats the problem...and you slam the right. You guys are nuts.
I cannot believe the left media, left nuts like Ed, etc...are making this big a thing about Ronmney supporters. Where are the Obama supporters.
Why don't you idiots concentrate on getting more people to give to Obama.
Do you know how stupid Debbie Whatshername Schlitz looks when she is talking about secret bank accounts and companies. What an idiot. I'm tired of hiding it. You all are...for making such rant and raves about bank accounts, donors.
You lefties cannot win on anything else, your record, obama's record, NOTHING. so you rant about any lie you want to spin out.
Man, I cannot wait until November when you guys will finally get yours handed to you.
I will shout it as loud as I can on this blog. Romney is the man for the job.
Obama has had almost 4 years and the country is going down. Debbie is proud though. What a nut she is. She must drink the same water as Grayson down there in Florida. She is a pure idiot.....just like Grayson...She better be careful or she will be gone too.
Man, I am sick of the way you lefties dwell on crap. Just looking everyday trying to find something bad about Mitt Romney....just because you know if you don't....Obama's days are numbered. Well let me tell you. Obama can be the king of the negative ads now....but if Romney decides to get negative on Obama....that will be the end. Obama has more reasons for someone to run negative ads than anyone so he had better be careful the way he treats Romney.
It will come back to bite him....I guarantee it.
Duh-Dip-Da-Dip-Duh !!!!!!!!! heheheeeeeeeeee !!!!
What's he gonna do snap him with is magic underwear?
Jhonny:: You had the gall to say "but if Romney decides to get negative on Obama....that will be the end. " What do you mean by him deciding to get negative on Obama. He has been negative on Obama since day one-- probably since the day Obama became president. On what planet have you been hiding?
Mittens went so far as to demand GOP governors to stop talking about their state economies because it made it hard for Mittens to lie about Obama's record. Rather telling Mittens is trying to run on Obama's record while trying to bury his records.
Q24: How much has Social Security paid out since it started?
A: From 1937 (when the first payments were made) through 2009 the Social Security program has expended $11.3 trillion.
(See detailed tables of annual Social Security payments 1937-2008.) (See also detail for Q26)
Q25: How much has Social Security taken in taxes and other income since it started?
A: From 1937 (when taxes were first collected) through 2009 the Social Security program has received $13.8 trillion in income.
http://www.ssa.gov/history/hfaq.html
From this info I guess if we took all the money every collected up to 2012 we could pay off the national debt. The healthcare Obamacare will really help keep cost down and keep SSI solvent.
Congress has been raiding SS for years to pay for things they don't have the money for.
That's the only reason they might ever be insolvent. Same as the Post Office.
Reagan and Bush #1 raided social security so they could reduce unemployment by hiring more government employees.
Bush #2 raided social security, de-funded public education, and borrowed from China to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan.
Crackhead, OMG, and the polls still show this election to be TIED!
When will these people wake up?
It will probably be a rude awakening.
Time to get rude!
They won't.
Health care professionals recognize extreme racism as a mental illness that is just like any other irrational phobia, like fear of rodents.
Brains have departed from that side of the discussion.
That is why Steel is no longer chairman of the RNC and a white supremacist is.
They only stop the BS after they realize their own statements become an argument in favor of the opposition.
India- you point out the polls show it's tied. What is unbelievable to me is that Romney would be up there with Obama. He isn't one of my faves by any means. Obama must be just as weak outside the MSNBC crowd.
Or you hope to give that impression but reality is Mittens is a turd and you know it.
Guess it comes down to an egomaniac turd verses a clueless egomaniac
No that to would be your turd who has the ego the size of China. Really rusty you need to get a new play book the one you have is all worn out from over use.
So tell me what is the difference between Hampton money and Hollywood Money
Question:
Answer :
What an ignorant answer. Now I know why you have the name you have. Crackhead.
TRFjr...you are right on. These leftie nuts don't know the difference. They are so desperate........the talking points that Debbie Whatshername Schlitz delivers on TV and all of the other lefties...they all say the exact same thing....like they were handed a goofy memo.
The left is done. So long Barack.
Koch money came from the old man, he invented a better way to crack gasoline.
The other oil men of the day got so mad due to the fact he did not share it with them so the all gang up and got him kicked out of the country.
Next what does it take for your car to run??? oil & gas..
@Johnny-3188986,
Didn't click the link, did you?
Tea Party claims are the biggest lie of all time.
Proof?
Conservative news organizations claim billion dollar military technology is being used to spy on corn fields, pigs and chickens.
Why would any sane person believe total fiction?
P.T. Barnum was the first person to exploit that phenomenon for fun and profit.
The Barnum Effect describes gullibility as a measurable phenomenon. Television became a constant influence in most elections during the 1950s.
No space alien abductions were reported before science fiction television became popular during the 1950s - the Barnum Effect is the reason this has become so popular that documentaries have become common.
Lower intelligence makes voters more gullible, and delusions are strongly associated with conservative beliefs for that reason.
P.T. Barnum used fraud to become wealthy because "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute".
Dictators have been using fraud to convince voters to end democracy for millennia.
Conservatives are less educated. Less educated voters are susceptible to delusions, and delusions are defended using the following logic.
Health care professionals even recognize extreme racism as a mental illness that is just like any other irrational phobia, like fear of rodents.
About 20% of the US population has a diagnosable mental illness.
Mental illness is a voting block that includes 50 million people in the United States.
Conservative media organizations are convincing that segment of the population to believe outrageous lies.
Marketing uses Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) to sell inferior products based on this technique.
Joseph Stalin used FUD to maintain control of the Soviet Union after it became clear that communism is a failed economic system.
Now lets look at how this will end democracy in the United States.
Gold is the preferred currency of former communist countries, like Russia and China, where money is nearly worthless.
The Tea Party claims Ayn Rand as the ideological source of their beliefs, and Rand champions the use of gold for currency.
Rand claimed to be anti-communist to avoid prosecution by Joseph McCarthy after World War II. But her beliefs about gold indicate she is actually communist.
The Tea Party is funded by the Koch Brothers.
Joseph McCarthy did not prosecute Fred Koch as a communist while the Soviet Union obtained nuclear technology from the United States because Fred Koch founded the John Birch Society that claims to hate communism.
Fred C. Koch created the John Birch Society so that he could safely dine with the leader of the communist world as communism made him wealthy.
Fred C. Koch spent decades working with Joseph Stalin.
Joseph Stalin created the Tea Party indirectly through the Koch family.
The ultimate lesson learned by the Tea Party is how to gain total control of government using the Soviet strategy of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
Communism is the basis of Tea Party beliefs that are being popularized by Romney, Cantor, and McConnell.
Conservatives even used Citizens United to legalize ulimited foreign influence on United States elections, while claiming immigrants are a threat to the nation.
The entire basis of the Tea Party is a mass hallucination based on funding provided by the Soviet Union.
Brad Pitt builds homes for the homeless in New Orleans. Angelina Jolie is the Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), a UN agency that currently assists 20 million refugees in approximately 120 countries. Sean Penn is still in Haiti, helping the earthquake victims as he has been for the last 2 years.
What are the Hampton's people doing with their money?
Off the rails, and into the ditch.
Move to Greece, Cuba, France, etc, then.
We ain't "Socialist" in this country.
Absolutely.
That's the whole point.
Put Ken Langone in your google machine.
He does more in one day that brad pitt will every do.
I guess that means you are going to:
Really?
We are not communist. That was invented by Carl Marx.
The US became the first democratic socialism in 1776 when we adopted the constitution.
The US is socialist. That was invented by people like Benjamin Franklin and George Washington.
There is a significant difference between communism and socialism that is covered in high school civics and world history.
There is a subtle but significant difference.
Ayn Rand did not attend those classes. The Tea Party queen was born in Russia.
Its a proven fact that conservatives give way more to charities then
liberals
Don't believe me google "who gives more to charities conservatives or liberals"
What ? ---- Do You call giving $25.000 per Plate to robME - A Charity ?????? LOL !!!
Well that proved liberals are to lazy to do a simple search for the truth
All they can do is parrot the same lies Big ED spews every night
Really?
I had no idea republicans had so many charities like this.
Thank you. Nice list of charities.
All full of god and everything like that :-)
I don't know where you live, but where I live the public school system is funded with property taxes, and I have no problem paying my property taxes every year.
You can not refuse social security, you get it automatically. And they take out your medicare payment.
Thanks for playing.
Like the way the easter bunny climbs down my chimney at Christmas?
The federal government provides funds to schools where I live.
I've never met anyone that pay any property taxes to the federal government.
Click here to see a nice article the link between home schooling and racism.
Click here to see a nice article about the link between racism and low IQ.
I saw a picture of Mutt Robme's favorite charity. Him, his wife, his kids and all their brats. A good picture that explains where the family's brains are!
the fed gives cash to school systems, then why is the Chicago system going down the drain?
States do not want the fed in their schools.
If you like socialism so much move to a country that is socialists, stop trying to change America into France, notice those country's are going down the tubes.
Baldwin's playing Words with Friends on an airplane right now.
There is a huge difference between the deep pockets that Obama communes with and those with whom Romney shares champaign and caviar at the Perelman 40 room mansion. Those in Hollywood actually want their money to enable good things to happen for the poor and the middle class. Those in the Hamptons say, as one such woman did, that those of us in the 99% just don't get it. She and her fellow Hamptonite Republicans think that we are undereducated and that we just don't understand how things work. That's what she said, I kid you not.
I know you aren't kidding. I heard that same statement. I can't remember, tho, if she was one of the broads in a Mercedes or another rich person's hoopiemobile. The nerve of that broad. She included college kids and the nails woman. She not only doesn't understand how things work, her brain isn't between her ears. I hope she has a relative who is one of those undereducated college kids and the kid stomps a new hole in her with a combat boot.
You folks are so funny! Enjoying a $40,000 a plate dinner with Obama is virtuous whilst one with Romney is evil? I'm always amazed at the arguments that hypocrites can develop to justify stupidness.
Why not just say it is stupid and not a good thing for stuff like this for either side?
The difference is not in the money. It is in the hearts of those who are giving it.
Finally!
The truth wins out.
Cheney gave us his old dead heart.
The people don't want a hand out! Just a hand up! Its time to ask Willard and all the Teapublicans "Why do you hate the middle class and poor so bad"
And obama gave us over 8% and 40 million people on food stamps less company's & banks than when he took office.
There are less manufactoring companys today than when obama took office.
Now he wants to jack up the tax rate on company's to 45%...
Yea that will put people to work.... In China
You seem to forget about the jobs created and how your obstructionist have done everything in their power to sabotage the economy. Also they wouldn't cut the oil subsidize and were responsible for the downgrade of our credit rating and the cuts in government employees or not letting the bush tax cuts for the filthy rich expire. on and on....
You are so correct, people that own company's want to "sabotage" the economy, face it when you do that you get rich right?
You do when you are selling the oil to China and other Asian countries, oil is bought and sold on the global market so there is no such thing as oil companies losing money, they sell to the highest bidder. Poor little hunter still stuck with a dog the won't hunt and mom only trusts you to handle a squirt gun.
Got to ask you liberals how did y'all like that Scott Walker slap in duh face?
I notice the ed show has yet to broach that subject again.
After spending countsless hours balsting Walker.
The people in that state must not get MSNBC..
babble-babble-babble-Babble !!!! Apparently there isn't a Whole lot of Intelligence in Wisconsin and the voting was Rigged AGAIN !!!!!
Shows what you know! You think austerity is a good thing! Scottie will soon be in jail.
The voting in Wisconsin was Rigged ==AGAIN !!!!!
I know this, 6.9% unemployment rate in WI.
Gee MD he is hunting all over the place with a dog that won't hunt and a squirt gun.
It was 6.7 what happened? Humm???
He just makes up numbers when it suits him?
Oh so it's 6.7% now..
Hum better than the national average and most states that evil Walker.
Scott Walker's goon squad pulled all sorts of dirty tricks to escape the recall. Like some of his goons calling people and telling them that if they signed a recall petition they wouldn't have to vote in the recall. Now that's dirtier than a mud hole full of hogs.
I hope the good people of Wisconsin can survive Walker's holy mess and will kick him to the curb at the next election. He and his goon squad are worthless as tits on a boar hog.
End wasting tax money on as for the military/Petition

MSNBC do you pay Ron Christie to say stupid stuff? Every time he opens his mouth he says something stupid and is in complete denial. It appears no matter the subject he is in complete disagreement to others. He is stupid. 99.9% of the time I agree with the President but there may an issue I might not agree with, but this man is a complete clown. The only thing missing is his clown makeup.
Haven't been paying attention? That is not a clown act that is todays GOP full of clowns that shoot themselves in the face every time they open their mouths.
a solution for our economy..... the corporations and wealthy are sitting on large amounts of cash. if they gave all their employees a 20 to 25% increase in pay, their employees would have more money to spend. this spending would increase the demand for products and services. then the corporations would hire people to meet the demand.
the corporations and wealthy would then make more money than they would get in tax cuts.
however, i believe the greedy at the top would never do such a thing to help our economy. they would rather see our country go down the drain then give up part of their huge salaries and bonuses.
