Nice try but Hillary didn't stoop to that level....

But look where she is now.... Can you picture Bachman, Newt, Santorum or Paul in a Romney administration?.....

Its so hilarious.



It's just too funny...

[weskurtz81]

ROFL!!! Yeah, this kind of thing has NEVER happened before!!!! This is literally a first!!! I can't believe my eyes!!! And, we know it ONLY happens on one side of the isle, never happened to a Democrat before!!! Simply amazing.

You are TOO funny man.

It doesn't matter who supports who imo. Romney is on the downfall and Obama is going to come up against someone he is going to literally fear. You all think Ron Paul is out but none of you are seeing much of anything because all of you are only seeing what the mainstream media is putting out. Ron Paul has garnered much more support than anyone ever could have dreamed of. The days of the two party system (really the same party) are over.

lol... Why would the president fear anyone who can't even get enough votes in a primary? In November voters will have two choices and Paul won't be one of them. He has supporters just like any other candidate, but whatever he does it won't affect the Democratic vote as much as the Republican.

New book called "the amateur" by Ed Klein is making some very very very controversial claims. I doubt they will be substantiated but very interesting.

And the RINOs have finally all shown their true colors. Liberals, they all are.

[weskurtz81]

Didn't Obama "evolve" and endorse Gay marriage after he didn't support gay marriage? Like I said before, to those of you who are surprised, these guys supporting the candidate they once ran against happens in EVERY election.

Keep ignoring the truth and drumming up nonsense Sub-Stance... makes for good entertainment.

And the following just happened recently:

CongressmanRep. Mike Coffman, Colorado Says Obama Is 'Not An American




Then apologizes:http://www.denverpost.com/breakingne...ss&amp&amp&amp

"I misspoke and I apologize," the statement began. "I have confidence in President Obama's citizenship and legitimacy as President of the United States."

This is from a member of congress.... so Btbam, how is that for your fringe element? The GOP doesn't say that about Obama, right.....

[DayWalker]

The country has evolved on gay marriage...

very different than being pro-choice... then pro-life... the pro-choice kinda again... then adamantly pro-life

Senators to Unveil the ‘Ex-Patriot Act’ to Respond to Facebook’s Saverin’s Tax ‘Scheme’
Email 585 Smaller Font Text Larger Text | Print

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has a status update for Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never come to back to the U.S. again.

In September 2011, Saverin relinquished his U.S. citizenship before the company announced its planned initial public offering of stock, which will debut this week. The move was likely a financial one, as he owns an estimated 4 percent of Facebook and stands to make $4 billion when the company goes public. Saverin would reap the benefit of tax savings by becoming a permanent resident of Singapore, which levies no capital gains taxes.

At a news conference this morning, Sens. Schumer and Bob Casey, D-Pa., will unveil the “Ex-PATRIOT” – “Expatriation Prevention by Abolishing Tax-Related Incentives for Offshore Tenancy” – Act to respond directly to Saverin’s move, which they dub a “scheme” that would “help him duck up to $67 million in taxes.”

The senators will call Saverin’s move an “outrage” and will outline their plan to re-impose taxes on expatriates like Saverin even after they flee the United States and take up residence in a foreign country. Their proposal would also impose a mandatory 30 percent tax on the capital gains of anybody who renounces their U.S. citizenship.

The plan would bar individuals like Saverin from ever reentering the United States again.

“Eduardo recently found it more practical to become a resident of Singapore since he plans to live there for an indefinite period of time,” Tom Goodman, Saverin’s spokesman, told Bloomberg News in an email.

Last year 1,700 people renounced their U.S. citizenship.
