Great ad: cept when the forget Romney left bain 2 years prior. Or that the woman kept her job and insurance for a few additional years before she lost it. Cancer is a bitch but come on folks Romney had nothing to do with it. Hyperbolic schmuck.

The democrats must really be desperate to pull a bullshit stunt like this.

Truly. In a class of its own. Too bad, it's not the good class.

Um, aren't all "parties" involved in doing stunts throughout their terms, elections, etc.?

Yes. And I'm not saying Republicans have not pulled out some shit to use.

But saying that its Romey's fault for a guys wife dying because he was laid off. Thats despicable.

[Sub-stance1]

That's BS. Where does it say it's Romney's fault that his wife died? And please don't act like the Republicans have been the party of honesty. They have ads that tell blatant lies that started well before this ad. Don't forget newt called Romney a liar on national television but now is his biggest supporter. What the hell?

Politics is a dirty game. People shouldn't throw stones when they live in a glass house.

Again, there is no party that is free of dirty, and foul tricks in the past. But this has been the way since well, forever.

Politicians are just well paid liars, and suck ups.

Yeah, I gotcha. I hope my post didn't sound like a reply made because of disapproval of that post.

No, not really. Just stating the obvious.

Amen to that.

Jon Lovitz rant on Kevin Smith's show led to "death" threats! Geez, I thought that his base was supposed to be tolerant?!

“Your site and Twitchy.com, they get the humor. The Huffington Post, their comedy guys have no sense of humor and their headlines are lying,” stated Lovitz. “I don’t see the president as black or white. He’s a man. What I find bizarre is how the quote liberals are bringing up race [and] saying, 'shut the f--- up.' I find them so close minded. I thought you were liberal. You should be tolerant of everybody whether they agree with you or not.”

The owner of the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club said he received one message that warned: “I know where you eat.”

A lady in Oregon slaps a small business owner in the face for an Obama sign he had on his window...

Kevin “The Geek” got an interesting customer yesterday at his Lake Oswego based business. A Dunthorpe doyenne entered his store, began berating the businessman for his anti Obama sign, and when he insisted he wouldn’t take it down, slapped him. He threatened to call the cops but she left and then shuffled across the street and lost herself in the stores and parking lot.[...]He didn‘t get a picture or see her vehicle and doesn’t know her name so did not report her to police.
Here’s what he sent me right after it happened,

Now why you have to go around stirring the pot? You should just let libs live in their fantasy world. You're bringing up inconvenient facts.

Of course you can, I don't think anyone said you couldn't. I simply found the extreme examples of a liberal intolerance amusing considering tolerance is supposedly a cornerstone of the Democratic party.

[weskurtz81]

LOL!!! How intolerant of a comedian to express his opinion of the president! How intolerant of a cop to eat a chicken sandwich in front of a couple lesbians! How intolerant of a business owner to put a political sign up on his store front! You're right dude, never looked at it that way! Thanks for making it clear!

By all means man. Go right on ahead. Chances are, you'll bring up shit I will agree with you on anyway.

By the way, I think Paul Ryan is just another progressive liberal. Yep. Obama is gonna spank Ryan on his voting record. Ryan is nothing but a closet liberal. I will be writing Ron Paul's name in come November. I'm not gonna waste a vote, voting for the same ticket in our one party system.

[btbam]

Based on Romney's campaign so far, I thought he'd pick safe-vanilla Portman, but it seems he went with Paul Ryan. Could be a good move ultimately. The conservative-blogosphers are down right effervescent right now from this pick. He is intellectual, and extremely likeable. Ryan's role in this race should be to articulate the Republican platform to the voter. In interviews he is generally very good at explaining his position and does so fluidly, so this could be good for Mittens. On the other hand, Ryan is a controversial figure for his budget and stances. Its open and easily attackable from the Obama campaign. Question is, can he defend every little nit-pick? we will see.
