Obama and the Democrats are looking more and more like desparate losers every day.
Important White House announcement for immediate release for use by all Communists, Marxists, Socialists, Radicals, Liberals, Leftists, Administration Czars, advisers, and Democrats in general, and any other supporter of Obama.
1. If at first you don't succeed blame George W. Bush.
2. If all else fails blame George W. Bush and quickly think up a different lie to replace the one you were just caught in.

Here's a statistic that you might find shocking: one in four Black voters between the ages of 18 and 29 describes [himself or herself] as 'conservative.' Now, here's why you shouldn¹t find it shocking: African-Americans, as a whole, are conservative, favoring positions that could only be described as mainstream Republican. According to a recent study, 75 percent of Blacks favor school prayer; 73 percent favor a $500-per-child federal tax credit; and 72 percent favor three-strikes-and-you¹re-out laws. These are all conservative positions.
While the most liberal faction of the Democratic Party has held it hostage with left-wing ideas that are far from the mainstream, the Republican Party has remained steadfast, supporting the issues that a new generation of Blacks routinely rate among their chief concerns. Be honest: Black America often cringes with the Republican Party at the liberal secular attitudes Democrats have toward such issues as nontraditional marriage, gays in the military and education policies that continue to fund a failed system.[they want vouchers]
So, you agree with me that citing unsourced claims (like the Democrats are doing in this case) and not presenting actual evidence (again, like the Democrats in this case) is a game.
I thought you said ALL media outlets were in the GOP's pocket?
sure, olberman, ed, maddow, BECK---their shows are all the same
would olberman say the same?
oh, absolutely, barack hussein won the white house IN SPITE OF the conservative bias dominating the msm
he entered the presidential campaign with such an impressive resume of accomplishments and abilities
why, mere months after invesco field he won THE NOBEL
the coc operates in the exact same way and under the exact same rules of disclosure as moveon and the afl-cio
i wonder why the white house, with its doj and irs, hasn't ACCUSED, on the basis of "it appears" and "i can assert anything i want, bob," the activists and unionists of criminal activity
You mean foreign corporations like BP?
Every time you speak, you prove my point.

wow, there are hundreds of thousands of your neighbors who WILL find jobs if and when the reports improve
the greater significance of the jobs report, in this context, is it's gonna cost ms pelosi HER job
such an offhand declaration, so cavalierly tossed, such a neat little formula
keith olberman, rachel maddow, shrill and thrilled chrissy matthews and mister ed schultz represent right leaners, all of em still bemoaning the precious surrender of their prized public option
And a negative jobs report is the result of hiring having not occurred, or having occurred to an insufficient extent.
In one way at least, the fight for control of Congress is grossly one-sided.
Just five weeks from midterm elections, groups allied with the Republican Party and financed in part by corporations and millionaires have amassed a crushing 6-1 advantage in television spending, and now are dominating the airwaves in closely contested districts and states across the country.
The extra firepower on the conservative side comes as some key Democratic-leaning organizations are experiencing unexpected trouble raising money or motivating supporters.
The advertising mismatch, reflected in campaign documents obtained by The Associated Press, is hampering efforts by President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders to sway a shrinking number of undecided voters. Early voting has already begun in some states, and Republicans are positioned to win a number of House and Senate seats, placing Democratic control of both chambers in jeopardy.
coke and pepsi---LOL!
welcome to the ignore list Troub... when you stop injecting koolaide into your veins, maybe we can have a rational discussion.
I posted a piece on another site at the time titled (with admitted hyperbole) The Empire Strikes Back - Judicial Coup d'Etat Imminent in which I predicted exactly this sort of thing happening. I also wrote a more recent piece, Corporate Imperator.
Democrats have canceled all of their ad reservations in at least six districts where their odds of holding the seats appear to be shrinking with three weeks to go until Election Day.
According to sources, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has canceled all of its remaining reservations for districts held by Reps. Suzanne Kosmas (Fla.), Kathy Dahlkemper (Pa.) and Steve Driehaus (Ohio), as well as open seats in Indiana's 8th district, Tennessee's 8th district and Kansas's 3rd district, and the DCCC's decision to pull out completely suggests doom for the Democrats running.
The Democrats are also likely to lose four open seats that the committee has yet to invest in: Tennessee's 6th district, Arkansas's 2nd district, Louisiana's 3rd district and New York's 29th district.
The DCCC canceled ad reservations all over the country early this week, but the scope and the intention of many of the cancellations remains to be seen in many cases.
The DCCC has canceled some time in districts held by Reps. Leonard Boswell (D-Iowa), John Spratt (D-S.C.), Rep. Larry Kissell (D-N.C.), Chet Edwards (D-Texas), Steve Kagen (D-Wis.) and Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), as well as the open seat held by retiring Rep. Marion Berry (D-Ark.).
Some of the DCCC's cancellations come in markets that span multiple districts. Here's a recap of where they could be aimed at:
Boston - These are likely for one of two Democratic seats in New Hampshire that Republicans are targeting. But the open seat left by retiring Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Mass.) is also in play.
Cleveland - There are slight cuts for both Reps. John Boccieri (D-Ohio) and Zack Space (D-Ohio), but the big cuts come for Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio), who the committee is now confident will win thanks to GOP nominee Tom Ganley's sexual harassment scandal.
Philadelphia - Besides the Delaware seat, there appear to be cuts in districts held by Senate candidate Rep. Joe Sestak (D) and Rep. Charlie Dent (R).
Phoenix - The cuts could affect Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) and/or Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.).
Chicago - The cuts could affect Rep. Debbie Halvorson (D), Rep. Bill Foster (D), and/or the open seat held by Senate candidate Rep. Mark Kirk (R). Halvorson's seat appears to be the toughest of the three for Democrats.
Seattle - The cuts could affect any of three Washington seats: Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) or the open seat of retiring Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.).
All of the districts listed above are places where the DCCC had reserved ad time.
House Republicans have drafted a go-for-broke blueprint for the final weeks of the midterm campaign that will bring them to $45 million in television ad spending, with spots reserved in 62 congressional districts across the nation.
POLITICO has learned that the National Republican Congressional Committee will take a bank loan of at least $6.5 million — but likely more — to expand its ad buys into seven additional districts beyond the 55 where the committee has already reserved time.
According to an NRCC source familiar with the effort, the newly added targets include five Democrats whose districts, until recently, were thought to be out of reach this year: Reps. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Sanford Bishop of Georgia, Phil Hare of Illinois, Zack Space of Ohio and John Salazar of Colorado.
Republican strategists say that the $45 million figure is far more than they expected the committee to have for the fall campaign and represents an effort to take full advantage of the Republican-friendly political environment by investing in as many potentially winnable Democratic districts as possible. The NRCC initially reserved $22 million across 41 districts in August before expanding to $35 million in 55 districts in September.
To help finance the effort, House Republicans are also leaning on members for a late flood of cash. At a conference-wide meeting last week at the Capitol Hill Club, members donated or pledged a combined $4 million to NRCC coffers, with $1 million coming from House Minority Leader John Boehner.
All of it is designed to stretch the map as wide as possible. In recent weeks, Republicans have also begun airing ads targeting Democratic Reps. Ike Skelton of Missouri, Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, Jim Marshall of Georgia and Jerry McNerney of California — a tier of races that were once thought to be less competitive but now are seen as in play.
The committee is searching for new targets of opportunity as party strategists come closer to finalizing their roster of races. The NRCC has begun polling in three additional districts, including the Eastern Iowa-based seat of Democratic Rep. Dave Loebsack.
Bolstering GOP efforts is a collection of outside groups attacking Democrats whom the NRCC will not have the funds to run ads against. Organizations ranging from the 60 Plus Association to Americans for Job Security to American Future Fund are targeting Democrats like Reps. Bruce Braley of Iowa, Ed Perlmutter of Colorado and Ron Kind of Wisconsin.

What's your point? We've already established that the GOP has virtually unlimited, untraceable funding from its corporate owners.
Yeah, Republicans are corrupt.
And if the Chamber of Commerce were spending only on the level of competing organizations like that, it might be excusable - but they're flooding the campaign with vast sums of untraceable money in order to propagate bald-faced lies. It's a threat to the integrity of our elections.
We've already established that the GOP has virtually unlimited, untraceable funding from its corporate owners.
It's also been established with actual evidence that Obama/Dems have recieved the same type of funding.
Do you have evidence that supports your claim against said Republican upstarts?
