I agree. But let's cut them some slack on this one, it's the first time I can recall it wasn't a "breaking news' item. I do like the currently happen' articles.

The Obama team is on the move already!

Obama Sends Romney Back Into the Fetal Position With Video on the Ryan Budget http://www.politicususa.com/obama-send-romney-fetal-position-video-ryan-budget.html via @politicususa #p2 #p2b #topprog #ctl

...Obama campaign manager Jim Messina also put out a statement,

In naming Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney has chosen a leader of the House Republicans who shares his commitment to the flawed theory that new budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy, while placing greater burdens on the middle class and seniors, will somehow deliver a stronger economy. The architect of the radical Republican House budget, Ryan, like Romney, proposed an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires, and deep cuts in education from Head Start to college aid.

His plan also would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system, shifting thousands of dollars in health care costs to seniors. As a member of Congress, Ryan rubber-stamped the reckless Bush economic policies that exploded our deficit and crashed our economy. Now the Romney-Ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same, catastrophic mistakes.

The interesting thing about Romney and Ryan’s speeches this morning is ....

The Obama video and Messina’s statement both use Paul Ryan to tie Romney to the unpopular House, the policies of George W. Bush, the war on women, and privatizing Medicare and Social Security. It also reinforces ....

Grammy Kammy - Hope your children are keeping a close eye on you regarding scammers.

@morninmist -

So, Obama is hoping that people will believe his LIES - that's a bold strategy and it's not being very honest to the American people!

This Lady Isn't Even Trying To Make Paul Ryan Look Dumb
Posted on April 24, 2012 by Angie

You better watch using Teabagger, or maybe some gay individual will take you at your word, and then you will get some tea bags dragged across your forehead.

@morninmist -

That video is a joke - there is no substance and no direct citations to the plans that are supposedly analyzed. It's nothing but propaganda attempting to indoctrinate the ill-informed and non-thinking. Have you even read Ryan's proposal or the actual budget bill that was passed twice now by the House for yourself? If you did, you'd see that much of the bs asserted by MoveOn.org about Ryan's budget isn't anywhere to be found - it's completely made up out of thin air.

Why didn't the Congressional Progressive Caucus allow their budget to be scored by the CBO like Ryan allowed his budget to be scored? Sure looks like someone is trying to hide something and isn't Ryan!

Let's not forget that Obama's proposed budget failed to receive a single vote from his own party, while Ryan's budget was embraced by a plurality of his party.

And I think that's all that we really need to say about this!

Ryan is the biggest idot we know, glad Rotknee picked em , should be a clean sweep for the O Bomber !

@Bucky -

Do you have anything of substance to add to the conversation or do you just want a public forum in which you can call Romney / Ryan childish names?

Obama says that government built my business, did he admit he makes mistakes? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@morninmist -

I like a little humility from my chief executive - it takes a real man to admit when he has made mistakes.

I wish Obama had some and would exercise it! The closest thing to humility that we've seen from Obama is "(laughing) shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we expected."

Personally, Hoffa calls laughing about nearly $1T in public funds not being effectively spent as intended personally insultive to every hard working taxpaying American!

You are obviously not a taxpayer, are you misty?

If you and the DNC are considered intellectuals, I'll pass. Wasn't it VP Biden that said "as Barack says, just a three letter word, J-O-B-S". Their is your intellectual.

@Dirk -

You obviously have an over-inflated sense about the value of paper and letters behind someone's name, and a very low opinion of those without that paper/letters.

An education does not make a person smart or qualified, as Obama has proven over the last 4 years! And honestly, Biden's degrees have to be honorary because there's no way he actually earned them!

But I do understand why there symbol is a jackass, just read some of the lefty posts above.

@Vic -

That is a little strange, isn't it? I've always wondered that myself.

@Hoffa .... Honorary because there's no way he actually earned them !
Sounds like the rummor when someone said that George Bush was in the armed forces but no one ever saw em.

@Bucky -

Please try to respond in the correct thread.

I and other good citizens can do without his bigotry!

@morninmist -

It's not the federal government's place to be policing hate crimes - that is something that is best left to the states.

Marriage is a social issue that is best left to the states that actually grant the marriage licenses - there is no federal marriage authority is there?

There was nothing wrong with DADT. Why must we be concerned with open sexual orientation in the armed services? Personally, I don't care, nor do I want to know, if a soldier prefers trees to people. You voluntarily enlist in the military to do a job - not procreate!

Is the food that we have now substantially unsafe? What good do more regulations and restrictions do other than increase the prices for everyone?

Maybe you should actually try defending your positions with substance instead of constantly allowing others to think for you - it may lead to a slightly elevated level of credibility to your posts here!

I'll dance to that Vicki ... Cheers !

Exactly as expected from Zerban -

Attack Ryan

Parrot Obama

Offer Nothing of Your Own

It didn't work for Barrett and it's not going to work for Zerban! Wisconsin has already proven that it is smarter than that! Why does Zerban treat his potential voters like they're stupid? It's really quite insultive!

@morninmist -

All the lefty website crap that you post is non-stop trash the Republican opponent. What you never see in any of your links is praise or defense of Obama's policies.

Interesting, isn't it?

MSNBC - the Ministry of Propaganda for the Democratic Party.

Chris Matthews is a joke - he's a hard left partisan. Shouldn't they have their hard news people covering this? Oh, that's right, it's MSNBC - they have no hard news people!

Harvey Levin's TMZ is a better source of factual information than MSNBC!

Hoffa ... all the lefties do is trash the Republican opponent ? What are all the Republican opponent's doing but trashing themselves, Thompson, Hovde, Fritzrat, Neuman , each guy is telling everyone in the state that the other guy is no F in good. But then again all you had to do is ask me and I could have told you that !

@Bucky -

And Barrett, Falk, and what's her name weren't trashing each other during the Dem primary? Hillary and Obama weren't trashing each other during the Dem primary?

Come on!

That's a little something called party politics - both sides do it. Did you really not know this?

Messages from Wisconsin to Romney-Ryan

http://www.flickr.com/photos/madison_guy/7760977660/

@morninmist -

Those are the same clowns that were wearing goofy colored t-shirts, holding blue fist signs, and constantly chanted 'shame' outside and inside the Capitol. How did that whole thing work out for you guys again? And yet you're really going to double down with the temper-tantrum?

Hysterical!

Romney/Ryan have to respond to the attacks with facts and effectively get their message out. The McCain/Palin campaign team, which Romney tapped, wasn't very good at doing this. I hope that they've learned from their past errors and get it right this time!

One thing that Hoffa thinks could really help the campaign would be an expose on prime time television explaining the GOP plan / vision in detail - like Ross Perot did in 1992.

Perot treated the people with respect and believed in their intelligence and ability to think for themselves, as opposed to treating them like morons. And while it was boring, technical, and had a lot of multicolored graphs and charts, independents and moderates, as well as not solidly committed party followers, paid attention and responded very positively. And Perot walked away with nearly 20% of the popular vote, despite making some huge campaign errors.

If they do something like this, I think it would be the push that the campaign needs to push the ticket over the top and into victory!

Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Obama/Biden needs to go!

ROMNEY / RYAN 2012!!!

They both paid for it, much more than you did

@vocal local 1 -

WOW - Cut the work week, hire exponentially more public workers, expand the size of the federal government, and increase the minimum wage.

Make the government responsible for teaching people to cook, clean, budget, time management, child care, etc. Are they going to teach us how to wipe our own asses as well or should the government provide every person with a person that will do that for us?

Where is all the money supposed to come from that would be necessary to do all of this exactly???

So now Thompson is somehow responsible for murder/deaths just like Romney?!?!

This isn't the USSSA - Union of Soviet Socialist States of America.

A voluntary work force??? All work in this country is voluntary - nothing is compulsory. We ended slavery long ago, in case you didn't get the memo.

And yes, you can live on minimum wage without receiving entitlements - Hoffa did so for a great many years when the minimum wage was even lower than it is now. So please, spare us the bs LIES.

Hoffa finds this comment to be wholly incredible and extremely heart breaking if this is where the mentality of this country is going.

ROMNEY / RYAN / ANYBODY BUT BALDWIN 2012!!!

"And yes, you can live on minimum wage without receiving entitlements - Hoffa did so for a great many years when the minimum wage was even lower than it is now. So please, spare us the bs LIES."

Randy suspects Hoffa was either living with his parents at the time, with room-mates, or off savings. Minimum wage works for a short period of time for a single person -- as long as you don't get sick.

@Randy1949 -

You already know Hoffa's story - 1 full time and 2 part time minimum wage jobs. About 80 hours per week or more. For the first year, yes, Hoffa did live with his parents while saving up to attend college. For the next two years, while in college, Hoffa ditched one of the part time jobs so he could attend classes. By his third year, Hoffa landed a new full time job that paid $13/hr, but retained his part time minimum wage job and also started his own mobile DJ service. Hoffa's been working since he was 14 years old and NEVER took any government social safety net / public assistance money!

Hoffa's federal tax reform plan is better:

Federal Sales Tax (applicable to ALL transactions): 1.85%

Federal Income Tax (applicable to all gross income and eliminates income adjustment - deductions, exemptions, itemized write-offs, loop holes, eit credits, etc., except in limited circumstances as is necessary to facilitate fairness):

$0 - $75,000 - 8%
$75k - $150k - 10.5%
$150k - $225k - 13%
$225k+ - 15%

Federal Cap Gains Tax (short & long term, bracket neutral): 18%

Federal Corp Profit Tax Non-Manufacturing (offset only by legitimate losses for up to 3 years carried forward): 18%

Federal Corp Profit Tax Manufacturing (offset only by legitimate losses for up to 3 years carried forward): 15%

FICA and FUTA Taxes: reform to opt-in programs and set rates accordingly.

All other federal taxes, with the exception of the federal excise taxes on petro fuels, alcohol, and tobacco products and trade tariffs/taxes with unfair trading nations, will be eliminated.

The Ryan plan could cut spending even more than what it actually proposes.
