If Willard Romney wins the election next week, the world will have a great opportunity to laugh at us. Repeatedly
Chrysler CEO Latest In Long, Long Line of People To Call “Bullshit!” On Mitt Romney
October 31st, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
Never before have the lies been so blatant, and so brazen. The Romney/Ryan camp has been called on the carpet numerous times, and this latest scuffle with the truth they're having over Jeeps being made in China truly underscores the tactic they've been taking all along. Lie, and when you get caught, double-down on the lie. One of the right-wing dominated message boards I lurk on to get the wing-nut perspective on things is actually full of people defending Romney's lie, saying that he was going on information he had at the time. But when it's pointed out that the Bloomberg correction was in place before Romney made his speech, there is simply no other conclusion to draw than Romney intentionally floated the lie out to the Ohio crowd to chum the waters with red meat
5 Things We Can Assume About Republicans Who Vote For Romney
October 31st, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
"...in order for real, genuine Republicans to vote for Romney, something has to be off. They have to swallow their ideals, hold their nose, and hope that Romney plays ball so that Ryan and the NeoCon cabinet that a President Romney would most certainly install can get to work turning us into the model of Austerity for the New World. I can actually hear the erection forming in Paul Ryan's pants over that prospect, can't you?"
Remember When Mitt Mocked Climate Change?
October 30th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
I don't want to politicize Sandy. It's a major storm that will likely cause millions in damage and may very well cost some their lives. But there's no shame in politicizing the fact that these storms are indicative of a warning sign that more and more people are awakening to, but perhaps not at a rate that's fast enough, and that we have a political party who eschews science in favor of profits. It shouldn't be surprising though, of course. The Republican party has shown they're willing to choose profits over everything. Obamacare? Too expensive, says the right. What will all those insurance companies do when their profit margins allegedly shrink (this is of course absolute nonsense considering the millions of new customers they're going to all be getting hand-delivered to them thanks to the ACA's mandate)
5 Possible Upsides of A Romney/Ryan Victory
October 30th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
I of course am openly rooting for an Obama victory. I happen to think he's easily deserving of a second term. However, being the eternal optimist that I am, I've been trying to figure out if there are any upsides to a President Mitt Romney reality. And I think I've got give upsides here that we should all be very thankful for, should Romney win in a few days
Counting Down To…?
October 29th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
Do we want to be a society where a group of adults are not afforded the most basic of human rights, to love whatever consenting adult they choose to love? That question is on the table. Do we want to be a society that still undervalues the economic contribution and therefore compensation a woman is entitled to simply because she has breasts and a vagina? That question is on the table. Do we want to be a society that approves of corporations, whose sole intent are to make as money for their shareholders as possible, regardless of the damage done to the rest of us, to have unlimited say in who our leaders are? That question is on the table
It’s Okay To Call People Like Ann Coulter The C-Word, Really It Is
October 29th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
Someone has to be willing to fight fire with fire. But the difference is, we have to be armed with the truth. My choosing to call Ann that word came from the realization that a lot of people think it, but they never say it. They want to be polite, they don't want to stoop that level. I don't mind stooping. I'm not that tall to begin with. And I'll gladly stoop because when you make millions and millions of dollars spreading lies and hate as truth and intellectual thought, you don't deserve to be treated as a regular human being, because you're not. You're a fucking sociopath at that point. And I chose the "C" word instead of "sociopath."
Time To Put the GOP On a Time Out
October 26th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
When one of my two sons is misbehaving, we like to give them some leeway before we step-in. We warn them. We tell them that they're inching close to a disciplinary action and if they don't stop, they're going to be sorry. So I think we're at that point with the GOP. It's time to put them on a time out.
Mitt Romney: Awesome Friend
October 25th, 2012 | by James Schlarmann
So I ask you, what kind of woman wouldn't vote for a man who for no other reason than to make sure his old friend gets to keep as much money away from his ex-wife as possible, lies under oath about the value of a company that would go on to become a household name? What kind of woman wouldn't vote for a man who stood by a friend who would later dump his very sick ex-wife from her insurance?
