Valin Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 DNC Literally in Hock to SEIU DNC owes millions to union-owned bank, records show Andrew Stiles September 21, 2012 The Democratic National Committee (DNC) owes at least $8 million to a bank owned by one of the largest unions in the country, according to the committee’s most recent financial report. The DNC initiated an $8 million loan with the Amalgamated Bank of New York on Aug. 10, the report shows, accounting for the majority of the committee’s overall debt of $11 million. Amalgamated Bank, often described as “America’s Labor Bank,” is a national entity, the majority of which is owned by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a politically active union with deep ties to the Democratic Party. The SEIU is also involved with the Democracy Alliance, a shadowy group of wealthy left-wing donors founded by billionaire investor George Soros (Snip) Nothing to see here...move along now.

pollyannaish Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I wonder if giving details on things like this are tough on a guy like Romney. That's not an excuse, but maybe an explanation. His word is sacred to him, and he doesn't like making promises without knowing all the facts. This is typical of a good CEO isn't it? I wonder if once he has access to solid information he will analyze what is really there, figure out what can be done and then provide details. Until then ne only has vague sweeping principles. I don't see him as either naive or lacking in forethought. I guess I see him as fiscally conservative but very practical and not particularly partisan.

Draggingtree Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Romney Can Still Overcome Obama's Dishonest, Divisive Campaign He can get by his '47 percent' problem and beat Obama by outlining how he will get America back to work By MORTIMER B. ZUCKERMAN September 21, 2012 The problem for Mitt Romney right now is that he has put his entire candidacy at risk to the point where he may not even qualify for the dismissive equation of Barack Obama that Marco Rubio formulated for the Republican faithful: "Our problem is not that he's a bad person. Our problem is that he's a bad president." Is Romney also "not a bad person, just a bad candidate"? With his "47 percent" remarks at a Republican fundraiser in May, he has given his opponent evidence to initiate a new line of attack. "It's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustration." This week, Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, dismissed the condescension as something from the mythic past, not to be compared to the furor over Romney's "47 percent" remark. Yet even now, fully armored and protected by four years of 24/7 press scrutiny and an army of verbal bodyguards, the president stumbles. "You didn't build that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of worrying about all that, Obama was giving puffball interviews to entertainment magazines and having photo ops. http://wizbangblog.com/2012/09/21/as-embassies-burned-obama-more-interested-in-interviews-and-photo-ops/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that’s precisely what the Associated Press noticed in a new report this morning.

Draggingtree Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Romney the giver The big news from tax returns By JOHN PODHORETZ Last Updated: 12:35 AM, September 22, 2012 Posted: 11:23 PM, September 21, 2012 We learned yesterday that last year Mitt Romney paid $1.9 million in taxes on an income of $14 million — and gave $4 million to charity. The year before, he made $21.6 million, paid $3 million in taxes and gave $3 million to charity. So, to recap: Mitt Romney has, in the past two years, paid almost $5 million in taxes while giving away $7 million. And, as he said, he has paid the taxes he was supposed to pay according to the laws of the United States, which is all that is required — legally, morally and practically — of anyone. But the release of these tax records leaves no doubt about one thing: Mitt Romney is an extraordinarily, remarkably, astonishingly generous man. A good man. Maybe even a great man. That is all. There is no “but.” Anyone who says otherwise is ignorant, stupid or a liar. It’s important to talk about how charitable deductions work, because there is great confusion about them and their effect on the amount people pay in tax as a result. You will hear it said, by people who are either ignorant or have an Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobson Saturday, September 22, 2012 at 12:14pm From The Washington Examiner, Al Qaeda is alive and GM is half-dead: “Bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive.” That was Vice President Biden’s answer to the question of why President Obama should be given a second term. To this bumper-sticker slogan, the demonstrators who sacked the U.S. embassy last week in Cairo delivered their reply for the world to hear: “Obama! Obama! There are still a billion Osamas!” Yes, Osama bin Laden is dead, but recent events confirm that al Qaeda is alive and well.

Therefore when you say that we should take care of our elders, support our military, provide high quality education, give people access to healthcare, and insure equal rights for all, you are not talking about issues of contention, we all want to see these things addressed, the contention lies in how to best achieve them, and on that, history is on our side. http://floppingaces.net/2012/09/22/the-issue-with-the-issues-reader-post/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draggingtree Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Barack Obama: A President for “100% of the People” (–Unless You Live in One of the 11 States He’s Never Even Visited) By: conservativecurmudgeon (Diary) | September 22nd, 2012 at 11:25 PM Obama’s self-delusion was in high dudgeon the other day, when he let loose with a sanctimonious homily on Letterman about how a guy elected president represents “100% of the American People”. The subtext, of course, was that Mitt Romney –the cad– is only casting about trying to snare the 53% of Americans that might pay taxes, but only because they are millionaires and billionaires. But what of this President? Certainly, I’ve never felt the man has represented me. A quick look-see at these Official Trips draws the curtain back on who Mr. Obama thinks he “represents”: (Blue = Traditional Democrat Stronghold, Red = Traditional Republican Stronghold, Green = Battleground State) http://www.redstate.com/conservativecurmudgeon/2012/09/22/barack-obama-a-president-for-100-of-the-people-unless-you-live-in-one-of-the-11-states-hes-never-even-visited/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 President Dukakis September 22, 2012 - 6:28 am - by Roger Kimball How often have you heard a variation on this story? You’re sitting in the bar car of the train back from Washington to New York and bits of a conversation among some beautiful people waft their way across your double bourbon. Obama, they assure one another gleefully, has it “in the bag.” The campaign, they tell another another, is essentially over: it’s just a matter of hopping on the Hope & Change express and riding it — Forward! — to victory in November. It’s a nuisance that we even have to bother with the formality of voting, their conversation seems to suggest: the polls, the emotional weather of the country, God himself (except of course that there is no God) have ordained that Obama must win, has already really won, can you believe what a terrible campaign Mitt Romney is running? What a loser! Alienating 47 percent of the population by reminding them that they pay no income tax and are beneficiaries of government largess: what a moron! Imagine, telling people the truth about the Entitlement State! The man is a gaffe machine. Boy are we going to town on these losers when Obama starts his second term. . . . Et very much cetera.
