In its desperation to change the topic from taxes, Bain, outsourcing and Sununu’s no-no’s, the Romney campaign has officially let the dogs out. Bob Shrum, Democratic Strategist, and Richard Wolffe, MSNBC Political Analyst, join Ed to talk about the new attacks they’re launching on President Obama and why they won’t work.
The Republicans will not stop talking about President Obama’s remarks last week regarding small businesses. Problem is, they’re pushing a lie. And Romney, still desperate to get us talking about ANYTHING other than his taxes, has joined in on the game. (And you won’t believe how many segments Fox News has aired pushing the deceptive edit) E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist, joins us to (ONCE AGAIN) sort out the lie.
Yesterday, Ed brought you the story about the town of Freeport, IL and the 170 jobs at the Bain-controlled Sestana Technologies that are at risk of being outsourced to China. The community is asking Mitt Romney to help save their jobs. While the Romney camp (amazingly) claims to be for the middle class—it’s his business model that is responsible for situations like the one threatening the local economy in Freeport. James Hoffa, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, joins Ed to talk about the effects of outsourcing and how bills like the “Bring the Jobs Home Act” proposed by Senate Democrats, would encourage insourcing.
Susan Del Percio, Republican Strategist, MSNBC Contributor, Krystal Ball, Democratic Strategist and Former Candidate for U.S. Congress, and Keli Goff, Author of “The GQ Candidate” join Ed for the big panel tonight—we’re talking about former President George W. Bush’s “AWESOME” interview with the Hoover Institution and about whether or not his legacy is equally “AWESOME”.
**EXCLUSIVE** You won’t want to miss this! Tonight, Ed has an EXCLUSIVE interview with Wayne Powell, the Democratic Congressional Candidate from Virginia who is running for Congress in Virginia’s seventh congressional district… against Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor. And with the polls showing that only 41 percent of people in Cantor’s district say he should be re-elected (and 43 percent saying he should be replaced) Wayne Powell has the chance. Join us tonight to hear where he stands on the issues.
It's going to another packed @EdShow at 8pET on @msnbctv.

RobME == What a GOMER - The Dodger of ALL Things Far and Wide - Especially Far-Off-Shore - hey !!!!! Does France Ring a Bell by Chance - China !!!!! How about the Caymen Isles and Switzerland etc-etc-etc !!!!!
Oh boy just what the US needs another lying republican in the white house. Did they really think we forgot GWB and his lies.
thats right imp, lil scotty walker is all you'll have after nov.....maybe you should try with him after robme gets his ass kicked. sad, pathetic ppl
You better take the mouse out of your pocket because that is the only way you would be a we.
eo = OH =Listen To You - Nice Try At Being a Chameleon - Just Like RobMe Attempts to Do !!!
GOMER !!!!
MD eo does about as good at playing liberal as Dennis Miller does playing comedian.
I freaking HATE Dennis Miller.
Sorry it put me to sleep.
Hey- quick question. Dou you libs think the Nobel committee is proud of their naming Obama as a peace prize recipient before he did anything but promise to vacate Gitmo, before the Obama Doctrine (plug'em before they can get their arms in the air), etc?
and why was gito not closed rusty? i can't wait to hear this....
the president has killed more terrorist leaders in three and a half years than your boy bush did in eight, including obl. once again the dems have to clean up the teabagger mess. damn you ppl are dumb...sheesh
The “Hope and Change’ president is now the ‘Attack and Smear’ president! His attacks on Governor Romney are merely a ruse to get the willfully ignorant and the just plain ignorant (like John in Texas) to ignore his terrible record.
obama said, at the beginning of his presidency, if he doesn't get the economy going in three years he will be a one-term president. Since then, we've had an unemployment rate of over 8 percent, despite adding $5 trillion in new debt. Job creation numbers have fallen every month this year while foreclosure-related home sales account for 26 percent of sales. One-third of the entire national debt has occurred on Obama's watch and we have little to show for it.
And as the world watches the slow-motion economic train wreck unfold in Europe, obama's solution for America's economic ills is to tax the rich. But according to Congressional Budget Office estimates, if the Bush tax cuts expire on those earning over $250,000 (what obama keeps insisting on), it would only cut the deficit $849 billion over 10 years, or about what we are now overspending in eight months! Share the wealth sounds great, but shared poverty is usually the result.
A second term for Obama would most likely give us a more debt, unemployment, taxes and a slide into a deeper recession which he will of course blame on George Bush.
Is Obama Ripping Off the Mask?
The Obama campaign may be committing felonies while accusing others of being felons. Hardball politics isn't new, but crazy hardball tends to be self-defeating. It reflects rage and desperation rather than cold calculations. Obama now seems to be playing crazy ball.
In 2008, Obama ran as a messianic figure, come to bring peace and love to earth. But in 2012 he is tearing off the mask bequeathed by Saul Alinsky and his other radical left mentors.
I think there might be two reasons. First, Obama really is an ideological radical -- there's no honest doubt about it anymore, given his expressed anti-capitalist and anti-constitutionalist views, his solid phalanx of radical associates throughout life, and his repeated assault on everyday Americans. And while Obama is the most convincing liar since Bill Clinton, he has essentially given up on hiding his radicalism.
That is hugely important.
A second reason why Obama seems to be wandering off script is his genuine rage and anger toward those who dissent from his radical orthodoxy. Early in his administration, Obama gave one of those televised White House seminars on the economy. Congressman Paul Ryan was there, and instead of listening obediently, the way Republicans are supposed to, he presented a clear and articulate argument against federal overspending. Obama was caught unprepared, and right there on live TV, he suddenly looked enraged. That used-car salesman smile was gone. For a moment, we could see the man behind the Carteresque grin. He didn't look kind and compassionate.

Americanstinker you mean. Wheres Mittens taxes, why won't Mittens do what his daddy done, whats Mittens hiding, is Mittens lying again, Why didn't Mittens settle this in 1994, is Mittens guilty of some type of crime. See that is the problem when you lie, people want to hear the truth, Mittens wants to run on his record at Bain but when asked about that record Mittens says I don't want to talk about it. To bad for you tea bagged republicans you can not protect Mittens by making this about Obama and your nutty right wing conspiracy's. We haven't forgotten about the last lying republican that was in the white house and lied to US while destroying the economy with his war lies.

Another part of that caustic satire you posted above:
OF COURSE. "Read more" of this regrettable writing by James Lewis on the American Thinker.
Sully, this is filth. It is a by-product left over from 2008-2009 propaganda. President Obama doesn't care what some lying liar has penned about him. This may surprise you. A President-every President- gets a hefty measure of media "vomit" spasmed out of some writers...end quarters (lips) since George Washington was our first President.
The Question: Are you better than some filthy propogandists, who wish to use your mental "space" to pack their puckering "wind" in? Man, I hope so. I really hope so.
Tex- he has killed a lot of terrorists, etc? You've hit the nail on the head. My question deals with whether you think the Nobel Peace Committee that fell all over themselves in awarding the peace prize to Obama based on his hope and change and peace platforms is sort of kicking themselves now due to the reality that he has increased elements like drone attacks, lack of due process for terrorists, etc?
Take yourself, for instance- I can't imagine you would have supported tremendous increases in drone attacks had it been a GOP administration. I can't imagine you supporting the killing on the spot- targetting specific people (assassinations) versus death in battle had it been a GOP administration. I am in full support of Obama on these issues. I have been surprised that liberals back these results as well. I would be interested if the Nobel Group backs it as well?
Poor rusty just don't get it Bush started wars on lies Obama was elected and started ending those wars while Hailburton and the rest of the war mongers who were whining and crying about ending their money making scam. To bad for rusty long on talking points short attention span. Here is a clue rusty after 8 years of GOP lying for wars Obama was and is a breath of fresh air, so go back to free republic and whine there.
Tex- I guess Gitmo wasn't closed because Obama wasn't committed to closing it.
I can't wait to hear your theory- most likely the one that claims Obama is totally powerless to achieve anything- like economic policy, budgets, social policy, etc- he is totally powerless to affect anything there according to the vox populi on this site.
Wrong again there you go with that selective memory problem you have. Republicans whined that US prisons weren't good enough to safely house terrorists, even though they claim US prisons are safe enough to hold drug dealers murders and other types of criminals and in fact we already have terrorist in US prisons. So the GOP blocked funding to close Gitmo. Without funding and a place to put terrorists what was Obama supposed to do set them free. Yeah right if you are whining now we know you would be screaming like little babies if terrorists were released.
How many times do we have to explain it to these simpletons?
Till you get tired of doing it. They aren't going to learn. Would be too big an admission that they've been hoodwinked most of their lives.
lol- you're probably right. All the whining about Obama can't get anything done because of the evil GOP-and that is by Obama himself, let alone all the minions who just can't explain it any other way.
So- you think Obama will win the Nobel Peace Prize for a second time?
If you libs want anything done in the government, you should vote GOP. Obama can't get anything done, per Obama, because the GOP won't go along with him. Dems won't gain anything in Senate this year, most likely lose there. House is a toss up. A vote for Obama is a vote for nothing but whining for the next 4 years.
I couldn't help noticing in that picture (like all of Romney's ads and speeches) that there isn't a single black, hispanic or asian in it.
Mitt Romney-The other white meat.
White meat and Burnt toast..Humm Sh!t on a shingle!
A sea of white faces, not a person of color in sight. This audience is laughing. Usually Mitt's audience is sitting there stone-faced, like they were forced to be there. This looks more like Obama's audience. Maybe Mitt wandered into the wrong crowd! I do pity those poor little kids being subjected to all the lies and BS. Hopefully they will be smart enough to think for themselves when they're grown.
xo = Dont Forget the Fresh Wind-Burned Dog Meat !!!!!
Hey eo it is clear you don't get what racism is here is a clue, pointing out that there are only whites at Mittens events is not a racist statement its a fact, minorities are avoiding Mittens like he is the devil himself. And pointing out Mittens is white is not racism either.
eo = What a Goofball !!!!! Geeez just Duck-Down and Maybe No-One Will Notice You ????? Ha Ha haaaaa !!!!!
xxx, White on white.....If they were laughing www must have had a warm up act. It isn't necessary to duck, MD, no one will notice him in that crowd. A bigot is the last to know.
They all had X-ray glasses....
So SAD to see how DESPERATE President Obama has become
Spending almost 100 million on attacking Bain and what was his return in his money
ZERO ZIP NADA
the polls have not budged
LMAO
That is what you have to do when you have no RECORD to run on
Went from "HOPE" and "CHANGE" to the Three D's
DISTRACT DIVERT and DIVIDE
Latest poll numbers for Latino voters-70% for Obama, 22% for Robme.
itis =ZERO ZIP NADA = that explains you - doesnt it !!!!! he he heheeeeeeee !!! itis - That Sounds like some kinda disease - Dont It !!!!!
Mitt Romney argues he would be a good president because of his experience at Bain Capital. However, evidence is piling up that he made millions at Bain by firing American workers, outsourcing jobs, and keeping his money overseas.
Romney could shed some light on this by releasing multiple years of his tax returns, as every major presidential candidate has done for decades. This practice was actually pioneered by Romney's father, George, who released 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in 1968.
However, Mitt Romney has only released one year of his tax returns, increasing suspicion he got rich mainly by dismantling the American middle class. He is starting to take a pounding for it in the media, too. We can help fuel that media narrative with this petition, and put Romney's campaign in a hole from which it can never recover
and after a 100 million in attacks by president obama
where is the national election polls???
a dead heat
lmao
Tissue ????
I don't think Robme's tax returns will show anything illegal. I think it will permanently cement him in the public's mind as a 1 percenter.
His problem is, at a time when the country is completely fed-up with the 1%, the Republican party's candidate is the poster boy for everything they hate.
They couldn't have picked a worse candidate.
Thanks, Repubs!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Nl23nB5w90&hd=1
Tricky Mitt
your own party hates that prick, why are they pushing for him to release more tax info? because they don't care if he gets killed in the election, thats why.
Hey eo here is a clue at 250 million Mittens is not one of you 7/11 clerks living in mommies basement 250 million puts him up in the we don't have to do anything but party on our yachts 1%. Who knows if that 250 million is not lots more I'm mean really who knows accept Mittens how much wealth he has hidden in off shore accounts, Mittens should be showing you tea bagged republicans a valuable lesson, if you lie about everything then no one believes a word you say.
John in Texas-3114519-
They also know the only thing worse than releasing them is not releasing them.
exactly chris, either way robme is cooked
Emp your are a bagger.
that coming from a kock bro wannabe....lol
And, I can't help adding, IT WAS EXACTLY LKE THIS WITH MCCAIN!
Coincidence? You decide.
Tissue - or an Entire Roll of Toilet Paper ????
After President Obama has blown thru 100 million dollars this is where we are
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 46%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) more are undecided.

One of the pundits on MSNBC today said the reason McCain didn't pick Romney for VP was because it wouldn't look good to have two guys with nine or ten houses between them!
And no balls.
rasmussen- the 'fox news' of political polls
Pew poll Obama leads Romney
President Obama holds "a significant lead" over Republican Mitt Romney, said a Research Center poll released Thursday. The national survey by the independent polling operation, completed July 9, showed Obama outpacing Romney by 50 to 43 percent. That's a more substantial gap than most recent surveys have registered.
The economy: When it comes to fixing the economy, "Romney has not seized the advantage," Pew concluded. "In fact, he has lost ground on this issue over the past month." Voters were asked which candidate was best suited to fix the U.S. economy, and by a six-point margin they favored Obama over Romney, 48 percent to 42 percent. That's a turnaround from June, when Romney held the advantage by eight points, 49 percent to 41 percent.
Battleground states: In the 12 states considered most competitive at this point, the president holds a seven percentage-point edge, 51 to 44, the Pew survey found. It was on track with results from a Wall Street Journal survey last month.
Young voters: Obama has a 24 percentage point lead, but that's down from 34 points in the 2008 election.
Independents: 46 percent favor Romney and 45 percent supporting Obama, a statistical tie.
Working white-class voters: White voters with less than a college degree favored Romney by 58 percent to 38 percent over the president.
College-educated whites: The group split: 50 percent Obama, 47 percent Romney.
About the poll: The latest survey, like most polling at this stage of the campaign, did not attempt to narrow the contest down to likely voters. Obama's lead, Pew found, stemmed from the fact that more voters currently identify themselves as Democrats than Republicans, and that virtually identical proportions of each say they will back their party's nominee. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.1 percentage points.

LIBERALS ARE SO FUNNY
Hopefully, Americans haven't completely lost their minds.
Gee, justspamming, if it isn't your poll, it isn't correct.
Real Chris Take that Pew Research and Shove it!!!!
LMAO
Some conservative pundits attacked the survey for a sample they said included too many Democrats. A correspondent quoted by National Review contributor Jim Geraghty took the critique a step further, claiming that "every" final pre-election poll conducted by Pew Research since 1992 "appears to lean to one direction -- always toward the Democrat, and by an average of more than 5 percentage points."
its an independent poll, something the fox news poll aka rasmussen can never lay claim to.
AN INDEPENDENT POLL SLANTED TO THE DEMOCRATS YOU MEAN!!!
lmao

Where was your sledge hammer for justice when G.W. Bush admitted to taking drugs
On September 4, 1977 (age 30), Bush was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol near his family's summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine. He admitted his guilt, was fined US$150, and had his driving license in the state suspended for two years,
n December 1966 (age 20), he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he and some friends had "a few beers" and stole a Christmas wreath from a hotel.
Hatfield reported that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and that his father pulled strings to have records of the arrest expunged

no, it just shows once again what hypocrites you morons are.... like we didnt already know it...lol
I guess when there is absolutely nothing left to pick over will the GOP finally shut the hell up.....tear up the Constitution, burn the flag and annoint emperor Romney to the throne and be @!$%#ing done with it and us........then sit back, fire one up and watch it all implode cause until that happens we will continue to hear nothng but lies, inuendo, more lies and just plain out @!$%# from the right...they put us in this mess and absolutely have refused to help fix it and have only one desire...to finish what they started and if the squidbillies on the right get away with it.....its only because we let them.....call em out everytime they show up, shout em down cause its all they really understand....facts don't mean a thing to these squishees so don't bother......if they want a mud fight..then lets give it to em...

NObama's Green jobs: More wasted Tax dollars....
LAS VEGAS (AP) - A solar manufacturing plant in North Las Vegas that received millions of dollars in federal grant money has closed after only 14 months. Amonix, a company that designed and developed concentrated photovoltaic solar power systems, received a $15.6 million federal grant and a separate $5.9 million tax credit from the Treasury Department in 2010 under the stimulus law.The company's closure was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal Wednesday, when the newspaper said Amonix began selling equipment from its facility.
The project was hailed by politicians and economic development officials when it opened in May 2011.
Vote Nobama 2012!!
over 7 billion...more zeros than you can count were spent by Bush for a so called electronic fence that was supposed to be built by lockheed at the border....guess what fool..it still doesn't work and most likely never will but its only 7 billion right...
Oh they don't want to mention that because it was a Republican wasting money.
And who is MSNBC to try to tell some one about deceptive editing
ED wasnt you the one who got caught in the Black Cloud edit
Or lets talk about the Zimmerman 911 tape edit that you used that NBC had to apologize and fired a editor over or Mitchell editing the Romney speech she had to retract and show the full speech the next day
Ive watched Fox and seen those segment about Obama disguising anti American speech and they played the full portion where he talked about where business didn't build that
You can go to the Fox news web site right now and watch the full speech where Obama talked about it
OK ED why don't you have the speech on your site why don't you show us where FOX news edited anything
look....over there....................squirrel.
Romney is a troll he wants to derail the conversation. As Ed said he pulled after everything this morning even the kitchen sink. Desperation has set in.
Moveon.org says:
Explosive news broke last week that Mitt Romney may have been in charge of Bain Capital well after he claimed to leave in 1999, as Bain continued to outsource American jobs.1
Romney's own tax returns could help clear up his actual role at Bain during this time and his responsibility for what happened to those workers, but he's refusing to release them.
Even Romney's Republican allies, including two governors, are now calling on him to release more of his returns.2And guess what?
The one complete tax return Romney did release details massive offshore investments in the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account.3
Enough's enough. It's time for Mitt to come clean. Public pressure is building and we have the opportunity to pour it on with a MASSIVE petition, because even Mitt's Republican friends (and your conservative uncle) understand that Americans need to know the basic truth about our presidential candidates.

CUE THE OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From CBO.gov:
Actual ARRA Spending Over the 2009-2011 Period Quite Close to CBO's Original Estimate
January 5, 2012
key points
ARRA Spending by Year
Through September 2011, 78 percent of the expected total spending through 2019 has been recorded. As CBO expected, spending started relatively slowly in fiscal year 2009, with $114 billion in outlays stemming from ARRA that year. The peak effect of the legislation was in 2010, when outlays totaled $235 billion; about $145 billion was spent in 2011.
ARRA spending began to wane in late 2010. The slowdown continued during 2011, as the law's assistance to states through the Medicaid program ended and as assistance in the form of unemployment compensation and refundable tax credits declined. (Subsequent legislation extended some benefits to the unemployed and aid to states for Medicaid, but it also limited the duration of benefit increases in SNAP; the effects of such changes are not included in this analysis.)
Bravo maphi at trumping this poor deluded soul yet again with the complete facts, something he has a history of not fully disclosing.
juststating, VOICEOVER?? Seriously? You actually took the time to type in a Romney commercial? Bless your heart. That's priceless.
@care
There is a web site that @just copied it from. No work involved.
I should have known. Thanks for the headsup, maphi. Since he didn't reveal that bit of info, would that be considered plagiarism?
Yes.
One thing you right wing minions want people to ignore that Romney can produce 23 yrs of returns when he wanted to try to be vice president but it's ok to keep everything secret now that he wants to be president. And this whole foolishness of pretending outrage at deceptive editing is laughable given Romney is out there quoting the latest deceptively edited footage from an Obama speech. So give me a damn break with the pretense at outrage.
keep posting the same old crap guys...facts remain....where are the damn tax returns?
Ed some of these people are so blind with hate that they are willing to put a liar in the WH. Romney said that he will be getting dirty now he ia already dirty.So far as Pres.Obama taking crack I dont give a two cent as long as he is not taking it now. Three or four people came out and said that Romney was a bully. LOL the WH is only for white men and this is the reason people now a days act they are smoking crack.

Opie Obama claimed in his book that he smoked a little weed back in his college days and Rush the pill head expanded it to say he did coke, stereo typing at its best. Kind of a moot point as GWB not only was alcoholic he was also a weed smoker and there had been reports from people that claim they saw GWB snorting coke.
b113, he admitted to trying marijuana. The whole cocaine baloney is one of those embellishments Republican boneheads want to keep bringing up and actually repeating from the Grand High Bonehead Rush Limbaugh who shouldn't be talking given he was arrested on felony drug charges and plea bargained his way out of going to jail and got rehab instead. Not to mention whatever drug dabbling on Obama's part happened the one time in his youth and is old news from the last presidential election. One he won quite handily on the Electoral College count by the way. And Dubya isn't totally clean of any drug use in his past with it happening mainly in his adult life but he managed to get in the White House twice but nice try though dude.
"When I was a kid, I inhaled." Obama went on to say that inhaling ‘was the point’. Most people would second and third that motion. After all, if one does not ‘inhale’ than is there a point to drug use? Most would say no. Obama even goes as far as to detail the drugs he used before entering politics in his book, “Dreams from My Father”, written in 1996.
During Obama’s teenage years, like most, kids he chose the party going on down the block over studying. That being said, Obama still remained a solid B student until late into his teens. In fact, until his senior year, Obama was a good student. At this point, he began drinking a little more beer, smoked marijuana and tried a few rows of cocaine.
And, once again, reliably, no source indicated.
By now, we just assume you make this @!$%# up.
READING IS FUNDAMENTAL

BUT I GUESS YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO READ
He was in High School and He wrote in his book "I had learned not to care; I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though." President Bush abused Alcohol until he was close to 40 and he was elected to 2 terms. Mitt Romney bullied along with three others one teenager got him on the ground, held him down and cut his hair. President Obama admitted to it way back when - so now what.

No, I would have to care about READING YOUR POSTS.
Are you a little cranky today Real Chris - you seem upset. I do not care if you read my post(s), just skip over them.
Isn't your post Lorr the one above it.
Lorr-That was to Justspamming.
This is off the subject, but with what Michelle the "Coo Coo Bird" Bachmann said about immigrants in this country, I want to know when Romney picks a VP, will John Sununu born in Havana Cuba, the son of a Palestinian and Greek descent parents be disqualified and will his citizenship be questions? What about Bobby Jindal born in Louisiana who parents were born in India, will he also be questioned about his citizenship and be labeled some kind of communist non-American?

NObama the socialist: or Anti-American???
The president made the comment Friday during a speech to supporters in Roanoke, Va.
Arguing that business owners got help from others along the road to success and
suggesting they should pay more in taxes in return, he said: "If you've
got a business you didn't build that. Somebody else made that
happen."

LMAO
Learning to talk like us, eh justspamming? To bad you can't be like us.
You know, post your sources.
Clown.
well....ya know Romney is in trouble when old Bushy just wants to talk about himself............oh man............
OK - heard to whole thing in context on Ed Show {emphasis added}:
“If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help,” Obama said. “There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build THAT. Somebody else made THAT happen.”
The problem - that wouldn't be a problem if people were just reasonable - is what was meant by "THAT".
The text in bold is the quote that everyone is ripping out of context.
THAT does not refer to the business. He is referring to the "unbelievable American system" including roads and bridges.
Simple.
And who built those roads and bridges whose money was used to build those roads and bridges? the American tax payer did and don't businesses pay taxes? so yes the did help build those roads and bridges
There are aliens walking the earth surgically altered to look like human beings. Prove me wrong!
TRF, did the businesses do that all by themselves or was it taxes from the working people ALONG WITH businesses who ACTUALLY pay their taxes who built the roads and bridges?? Companies who send their money overseas to get out of paying taxes should never get credit for helping build this country. Companies who keep their money here (small businesses) definitely deserve some credit.
Wow I've tried to watch this show a few times and its just so one sided. At least Fox tries to put on another point of view. Ed is nothing short of a cheerleader for Pres. Obama. Just saw they dug up Jimmy Hoffa for an interview. Gee Mr. Hoffa who signed Nafta and sent all the frigging jobs to Mexico?
ohhh man....next you be telling me fox endorses liberal democrats.......ohhhh man....my ribs hurt..........for your eyes only.....Ed is a liberal progressive....been kept a secret from some I guesssssssssssss..........
tHEY SHOULD JUST STOP THE MASQUERADE AND FINALLY
change the call letters FROM NBC to "DNC"
We all know they are not a news station and just CARRY THE WATER FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RELECTION
darn another one that's been in the dark........dark in that box........
Every time a new right-wing idiot shows up on this blog, he says something old and stupid and thinks he's being insightful.
how many re regs does it take for a fox point?
Headcanon
Fox Lies is the most one sided network ever put together. Nothing but lies, half truths and twisted opinions. MSNBC at least has right wingers on their programs. Some even hosts. But sinse you like Fox Lies so much, I promise we won't miss you when your gone.
James Hoffa and the Teamsters are my heros! Why outsource, when we union workers have so few skills, work so few hours, and demand such high pay to produce absolute garbage? Gotta love having no value whatsoever and getting huge payments.
And the non-union workers, tax them so much that they also become unaffordable. That's the Obama-way. All the way.
Pass the German Shepherd and the Heinz ketchup!
You know nothing about unions. Do you enjoy a 40 hr work week? How about a paid vacation? Holidays off? Some work place safety? Thank the unions. Other than that, you are a complete idiot and Fox Lies talking head.
This guy is the most one sided cheerleader for Obama i have ever seen. He's almost sounds unbalanced, Dug up Jimmy Hoffa who is railing against Romney for sending jobs to Mexico? Gee I thought Clinton pushed NAFTA through? Sorry my first comment just popped up. Didnt mean to sound repetitive.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/dec/31/iraq.politics
ain't progressive somethin? just can't let go of the Romney no tax returns for us to see.............kinda same thing the GOP wants....hey how about that....bipartisian effort goin for a change........
Wasn't Clinton that pushed NAFTA, I guess you conveniently forgot about the Republican controlled Congress Clinton had to deal with from 1994-2000. Y'know those Tom Delay Republicans who were setting up sweat shops and whore houses all over Asia.
NO gHwb Attempted to push NAFTA Thru at the End of His Term And It Was In Force When Clinton Got Into Office So ALL That He Could do Was Modify It !!!!!
I, for one, will make sure history shows George W. Bush was the WORST PRESIDENT EVER! (and those that voted for him are the worst kind of sucker FOOLS!)
Oh oH, here we go again, George W. Bush, war profiteers, big oil, right?
I know it's a stretch… but for arguments sake lets say Americans can conveniently forget about the 6000+ dead, 30,000+ wounded US soldiers and only GOD knows how many Iraqis and Afghanis. Forget that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove took the good will of the world after 9/11 and turned it to HATE and mistrust.
How these chicken hawks sent our troops into battle WITHOUT PROPER ARMOR or any clear cut plan beyond George W. declaring "Mission Accomplished". Never mind military strategists didn't think it was a good idea to get rid of the ONE dictator (Saddam Hussein) in the Middle East that had an IRON BOOT on the throat of fanatical Islam. Remember… the terrorist, Osama bin Lunatic, degenerates that caused 9/11?
Forget IRAN? Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove and Morning Joe can have victory in Iraq when they can stroll through Iraq WITHOUT an armored division and air support to keep them from harm… y'know like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has done several times since the USA got rid of Saddam.
FORGET the TRILLIONS of dollars wasted in Iraq or the 20 BILLION dollars missing or the 175,000 weapons misplaced or all the arms dealers and WAR profiteers that milked our national treasury. FORGET about all the Constitutional VIOLATIONS, domestic spying, bold lying, Justice Dept. bias, Walter Reed, Abu Ghraib, soldiers getting electrocuted in showers due to shoddy military contractor work…
YEAaaaaa… once again, imagine we live in a country where almost half the population is dumber than a tree full of monkeys. These citizens are so damn ignorant they allowed some of the worst criminals in history bend them over and #*~/ them in the *** for 8 years. Even worse these numbskulls LIKED IT so much they want MORE!
MORE of the waste, fraud, abuse, lies, incompetence, scandal, fear mongering, sexual deviancy, corruption, off-shore tax evasion, media consolidation, arms dealing, reckless economics, deregulation, war profiteering, Bush/Paulson corporate welfare, Constitutional violations and a Corporate Crime Wave of EPIC proportions.
IF THE READER CAN POSSIBLY FORGET ALL THAT… then the WORST thing the Bush Administration DID was NOT raise taxes to pay for the WARS, tax cuts for the rich and Medicare Part iDiot. You want to hear about Fiscal Irresponsibility GRANDE?
Instead, Bush/Cheney borrowed from COMMUNIST China and Saudi Arabia (at outrageous interest rates) AND put OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN under the thumb of MASSIVE FOREIGN DEBT!
If there's ANYONE out there who can explain away Bush/Cheney Administration CRIMES please reply because I'm NOT GETTING IT! Funny how we never heard any complaints from the so-called Tea Party crowd while Bush/Cheney were spending our national wealth like a crack HO with a credit card. I am somebody who fights back against the true enemies of FREEDOM cyberbitchslap.blogspot.com

Well neither GWB or uncle Dick will leave the US because they fear being picked up by at least 4 countries who want to try them as war criminals the only reason the US don't is because of the GOP who are protecting them.
Ever hear of the Iraq war? Ever hear of a reason for it?
Therealchris. Have you forgotten about all those WMD's we found there? and the $8billion dollars halibuterten stole. And the soldiers they elecricuted with their faulty wireing? Isn't that why we went to Iraq?
I hear Dennis Miller still thinks there are WMDs in Iraq. Maybe the Repubs should run him for president.
James Hoffa is an Asswhola.
What a creap this jerk is.
Just typing his name causes the need for a shower/bath.
bout time....holy cow is that an admission.........
It's not even Saturday night.
