Florida State Seminoles

It kinda looks like Elvis has cocked on foot up on the desk, like farmers do on the back of their pickups when the gate is down, way too high to be comfortable, but they do it anyway...

[aTm]

I hope that guy is getting some good notes.

[eCat]

like Nixon didn't record all of it anyways

[AugustWest]

Romney claiming to be the candidate that will protect our freedoms while wanting to outlaw pornography and shut down dispensaries insults what little intelligence I have.

[Bklyn]

Romney knows what real freedom is, much better than you.

[Saint]

the freedom to buy whatever the fuck he wants instead of whatever's on sale, like augie does

[hedge]

He wants to free us from our porn addiction...

[Owlman]

Does Mormon porn always include at least 2 homely women?

Take your ass back to 8 Mile!

Those videos are stupid yet im guessing half of North Carolina & Tennessee will take them as the truth.

Where Are the 47% of Americans Who Pay No Income Taxes?


Mitt Romney says citizens who don't pay income tax will never vote for him. But eight of the top 10 states with the highest number of nonpayers are red states.

[aTm]

That doesn't really tell us who they vote for.

[Bklyn]

No, but since the national election is not based off of popular vote and we know how all the states vote historically (and by what margins), then we can comfortably say that many of those states shaded in red have voters who pay no federal income tax and still vote GOP. I'm sure McCain won Mississippi by more than 5 points in '08 and I'm sure a couple Obama voters in MS paid fed taxes.

What did I learn in my week imbibing the current installment of the Reagan revolution? I came away with empathy for those in the right’s base, who are often sold out by the GOP Establishment, and admiration for a number of writers, particularly the youngish conservative commentators at sites like the American Conservative and National Review Online whose writing is as sharp as any on the left (and sometimes as unforgiving of Republican follies) but who are mostly unknown beyond their own ideological circles. What many of the right’s foot soldiers and pundits have in common is their keen awareness that they got a bum deal in Tampa, a convention that didn’t much represent either their fiercely held ideology or their contempt for the incumbent. They know, too, that their presidential candidate is the Republican counterpart to Al Gore - not only in robotic personality but in his cautious hesitance to give full voice to the message of his troops. Even Paul Ryan, the right’s No. 1 living hero, let many of his fans down with his convention speech, not because he fudged facts but because he soft-pedaled his "big ideas" about small government once in the national spotlight. Ryan left some conservatives wondering if the only thing they gained from having him on the ticket was his name on a lousy T-shirt.

ok, so I think this Mitt Romney video is doing more damage than I initially thought

"these people think they are entitled to ....food"

c'mon Mitt,

[hedge]

Can you believe that military personnel thought we were actually going to feed them? I mean, come on. We're already paying for their travel to Afghanistan, you'd think they could pack their own lunch. The arrogance of "those" people...

[eCat]

the man has been running for president for 8 years now and still hasn't figured out how to talk to the nation.

[hedge]

But he's OK with the $50K-a-plate dinner crowd. Just one of the homies, shootin the shit...

[hedge]

Man, the rich have really been suffering during these hard times. And, well, just always. They can't seem to catch a break anywhere. If only Romney can get elected, I'm sure he'll turn things around for this lagging sector. They've been put-upon for far too long...

"Forbes launched its definitive ranking of the nation’s superrich in 1982. Back then the price of admission into this most exclusive of clubs was a mere $75 million of net worth. Even after adjusting for inflation, this year’s entry fee ($1.1 billion) is roughly ten times what it was thirty years ago. There were just 13 billionaires at the time and the total worth of the 400 club was a mere $93 billion. Today the combined net worth of the 400 richest Americans is $1.7 trillion, up from $1.5 trillion a year ago. The average net worth of a Forbes 400 member is a staggering $4.2 billion, up from $3.8 billion, and the highest in at least a decade, as two-thirds of the individuals added to their fortunes in the past year.
