   For all the typo complainers……

   ‘A Better Amercia’: Typo distracts from roll out of Romney campaign mobile app
   By Associated Press, Updated: Wednesday, May 30, 4:57 PM

   NEW YORK — Mitt Romney says he believes in America. For a while, his campaign’s new app touted “A Better Amercia.”

   Ooops. That typo distracted from the rollout Tuesday of a Romney campaign app designed to run on the iPhone and other Apple products.

   Lmao! Go mittwitt!

   @Ralph

   The comment portion of this website is going to lose the attention and the respect of the media establishment if someone like “Jeff” is permitted to post dozens of BS statements on a daily basis.

   You have a problem with Jeff, yet you have no problem whatsoever with lbsles, which posts about 20 times per day. Lbsles has said worse things than Jeff by FAR RECENTLY. (Jeff was terrible back then) yet you say nothing to him/her. lbsles has and still posts links from the looking spoon dot com and actually tries to play it off as real news….where is your attacks towards that person? EVERY single post he/she talks about Obama it is typed out as odumble or odumbo, or something similar. He/she also quotes Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh……LOL

   Let’s not forget about DB. That guy never really says anything that is on topic, he just calls names and uses innuendo to attack ANYONE that doesn’t agree with him.

   National Democrats quarantine Wisconsin in lead-up to recall

   “Walker enjoys a seven-point lead over Barrett in the latest public polling. That is consistent with the last several months of polling, which has shown Walker holding a five-point lead. Walker’s strength has been attributed to increasing support for Walker’s policies and voter fatigue with recalls”.

    “When [the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act] was being considered, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated that it would increase budget deficits by $787 billion between fiscal years 2009 and 2019. CBO now estimates that the total impact over the 2009–2019 period will amount to about $831 billion.

    By CBO’s estimate, close to half of that impact occurred in fiscal year 2010, and more than 90 percent of ARRA’s budgetary impact was realized by the end of March 2012. CBO has estimated the law’s impact on employment and economic output using evidence about the effects of previous similar policies and drawing on various mathematical models that represent the workings of the economy. …

    On that basis CBO estimates that ARRA’s policies had the following effects in the first quarter of calendar year 2012 compared with what would have occurred otherwise:

    – They raised real (inflation-adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) by between 0.1 percent and 1.0 percent,

    – They lowered the unemployment rate by between 0.1 percentage points and 0.8 percentage points,

    – They increased the number of people employed by between 0.2 million and 1.5 million,

    – They increased the number of full-time-equivalent jobs by 0.3 million to 1.9 million. (Increases in FTE jobs include shifts from part-time to full-time work or overtime and are thus generally larger than increases in the number of employed workers.)

    OK, so without the stimulus, there would be anywhere from 200,000 to 1.5 million fewer people employed right now? That means the current cost-per-job created is somewhere between $4.1 million and $540,000.”

    Politics: The GOP War on Voting
    As the nation gears up for the 2012 presidential election, Republican officials have launched an unprecedented, centrally coordinated campaign to suppress the elements of the Democratic vote that elected Barack Obama in 2008. Just as Dixiecrats once used poll taxes and literacy tests to bar black Southerners from voting, a new crop of GOP governors and state legislators has passed a series of seemingly disconnected measures that could prevent millions of students, minorities, immigrants, ex-convicts and the elderly from casting ballots. “What has happened this year is the most significant setback to voting rights in this country in a century,” says Judith Browne-Dianis, who monitors barriers to voting as co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights organization based in Washington, D.C.

    Boyd,

    Backing up to your comment about my moniker. It was a deliberate choice of lower case d.d. . It’s to remind me to be humble , that I’m one of many , & , that I don’t come even close to having all the answers.

    Suik,

    I have called out more than once this kind of disrespect ……odumble or odumbo.

    Barrett Can’t Name Any Schools Hurt by Walker’s Collective Bargaining Reforms [Wisconsin]

    When questioned by the press directly about schools
    BARRETT: We can do an analysis and get back to you on that.

    Following up later……………. An email to Barrett’s campaign asking when that analysis might be completed (the election is in 6 days) has not yet been returned.

    Not only has Barrett been unable to point to a single school district hurt by Walker’s reforms, he has been unwilling to say how he would have balanced the budget differently than Walker did.

    WISCONSIN: Community Organizing Group a Front for SEIU’s Partisan Strategy

    MILWAUKEE – A paper trail running through state and federal agencies now shows that a self-described “non-partisan organization” may in fact be connected to partisan campaign activity here in Wisconsin. Wisconsin Jobs Now!, according to U.S. Department of Labor records, has received $769,000 in funding from the Service Employees International Union.

    The group Wisconsin Jobs Now! gained notoriety last year when it was caught handing out barbecue chicken dinners to voters in conjunction with free rides to the polls in last summer’s Wisconsin state senate recall elections. that activity landed them an investigation by prosecutors.

    Several key staffers for Wisconsin Jobs Now! actually receive their paychecks from the SEIU. Filings with the Department of Labor show that Todd Stoner and Austin Thompson, organizers who are tied to an investigation of voter fraud involving their work for the SEIU in Wisconsin.

    The frequent flow of money from the SEIU to the paychecks of Wisconsin Jobs Now! staff, and the shared office space arrangement stress the credulity of Jobs Now!‘s argument that it is non-partisan in its activities

    Another Swing And A Miss In Fox’s Quest For Lower Taxes

    Fox’s Neil Cavuto hosted serial misinformer Art Laffer to make dubious claims in support of lower tax rates. The segment was based on the premise that productive citizens leave high-tax states for low-tax ones. This premise was also pushed by a New York Post article, which used the Tax Foundation’s state-to-state migration data, a tool which details how many people and how much income have moved to and from a specific state.
