*[new] Obama Super PACs and Chicago team in a spending frenzy
They have out spent Romney 4:1 according to press reports and 75% of the recent Obama spend has gone to fund the year old “kill Romney” program.
Spending in a crazed frenzy, some say!
The caveat commentary I forgot to add above it that Obama and his Super PACs will spend $1 Billion to retain the WH and I still think he pulls it out.
A billion $ on Ronmey and handout a few more $ Billion to “teachers, firemen, nurses – who are SEIU members of course” В and he keeps 1600 Penn.
So Mr. Root has points, but he fails to consider the massive Obama Super PAC spend and more stimulus-style pay offs to union bosses who’ll make members walk for barack.
of course there’s no source for this bullshit and turdball pulling “caveat” outta his ass is too precious.
Caveat lector regarding a turd post.

Note that this “breaking news” from Libby is 6 weeks old.
before I found the first disqualifier.
surely the comments of a neutral, disinterested odds-maker.
and you sat at your computer refreshing every 15 seconds so you could post this first?
Pathetic.
(Deep, breathy voice)”Libertad!”
Libertad, nervously, “Yes, mein overlord?”
“Oh, my favorite, unquestioning, flying monkey! Take this bullshit and post it immediately to your assigned blogs!”
Like public land and public mineral leases for oil shale? (France, The Netherlands). Or maybe rolling back regulations for foreign owned oil and gas companies so they can snatch up more US public treasure (public land, dwindling fossil fuels), like China, Canada, Great Britain, The Netherlands… ? Perhaps it is hardrock minerals? Where foreign owned mining giants from South Africa or Canada snatch up public lands for $2.50 an acre and pay no royalties back to the American citizen?
Do tell Libby.
Canada owns most of the rights to American precious metals. I’m having trouble finding a link to substantiate this assumption. If you have one, CT, I’d love to read it. I’ve heard this from a well informed friend.
But perhaps we should turn to those facty-thingies again…
http://www.usnews.com/news/blo…
That’s definitely a news flash worth a thousand-word cut-and-paste, yep.
You’re probably the first person to pay this much attention to Root’s political musings.
He was charismatic, I’ll give him that, and the best public speaker among the presidential primary candidates who was not a former officeholder. (Gravel and Barr blew Root out of the water, but they’ve had practice.)
He was not, however, in any way a detached political observer, even of his own party. His faction actively schemed and cut deals on the convention floor, resulting in a coalition with Barr, the least Libertarian candidate in the field. Root is unprincipled and self-interested. These are not criticisms, but merely observations made by my personal observation of his choices. He is a clever marketer and businessman; I wouldn’t hesitate to take his advice if I wanted to open a Las Vegas based gaming business. However, I would take with a sizable handful of salt any predictions of his about a presidential election. He claims to have a 16-year plan to make a Libertarian president of the United States, and any political involvement by Root is likely related to his blanket distaste for the two-party system and his desire to see a Libertarian president, preferably himself.
They have out spent Romney 4:1 according to press reports and 75% of the recent Obama spend has gone to fund the year old “kill Romney” program.

Uh huh. I like the paranoia of this phrase – poor, poor union members. “Forced” to join the union because there’s never any choice involved when it comes to applying for a job. “Forced” to pay union dues – again, because no one working in a union shop had the least bit choice when it came to finding a job. And now… “Forced” to “walk for barack[sic]” because those fat cat union types (who have far less money or influence than corporations, or else they’d be the ones making thousands of times more money than the workers) are little more than modern day slave drivers. It’s sick, I tell you, SICK!!!!
Unless you’re from an industrialist’s family, I’ll never understand anti-unionism. Not one of you guys has ever offered a cogent reason for your hatred and fear.
After all, they are the masters of it, see Citizens’ United.

Robin,
The new VP of service thought he was all that and gave a seminar on being effective. He placed rocks in a vase/cylinder, smaller rocks, rice and then water. Having read all of Coveys material I pointed out to the new VP of service that Covey never placed water or rice in his vessel and the entire point was to take care of the few large, important items first such as family and religion and the rest would easily fall into place. The VP of service was simply trying to get us to do more work by cramming every nook and cranny full.
About 20 minutes into his diatribe, the vase shattered.
that rice expands when wet.
The VP exploded the saw rather than sharpen the saw.
Apparently he only pretended to read 7 Habits or he just could not resist putting his own, incorrect spin on Coveys near perfect work.
See habit #2, #3 and #7.
You still owe me an explanation s to why the reds filibustered the Democratic introduced Fair Disclose Act.
Stop screwing around and do your home work.
I do not owe you anything, ever.
It’s like this: one makes a claim, another counters it with those pesky facty things, a response with facty things should be made. It’s “owed,” for the dialogue.
You sound like Rmoney, big surprise.
“Wah, wah, he’s picking on me! I want an apology!”
Never any answers, just bullshit.
The perfect pinko, Nock.
A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to provide a link to material describing Modern Monetary Theory. At that time, I provided a link to the Modern Monetary Theory Primer at New Economic Prospectives. Several of you complained that I sent you to read an economics text book or maybe three.
At first, I was incensed. The most important issue in this election is the economy – actually any election. Both the political parties – relying on the neoliberal economic theories of Friedman and Greenspan – are getting it wrong to the detriment of the 99%. It seemed to me that the investment of a few hours to understand how the economy really works on a macro scale would be something that any informed voter – particularly a progressive – would be eager to do. Then, I calmed down and realized that economists have so mysticized this field that it is pretty daunting to most us at first. So, I went looking for a reasonably short (< 1000 words) explanation of MMT. No success.
Then, Albert started carrying on about the national debt and I just happened to come across an article about debt which also touched upon the major tenets of MMT. This is intended to whet your whistle in hopes that you might develop an appetite to do more research. It is not a comprehensive explanation of MMT. Here is the beginning of the article. Read on if I have peaked you interest.
http://neweconomicperspectives…
Good reading.
….and to someone who struggles to understand these matters, sounds awefully Orwellian. “Up is down,” kind of thing.
Not saying it’s not correct, just I’m not convinced, only confused.
OK. Let’s start with the first principle – money. Who makes it? According to our Constituion, the federal government. Therefore, the federal government can never run out of money. It can’t default on any of its obligations because all it has to do is create more money. While debt for families, businesses and states is very real because they don’t have the power to create money. Debt for the federal government is myth that the neoliberals continue to foist upon us to enrich the 1% and enslave the 99%.
Inflation, I hear you cry. Yes, inflation is an issue but that is for a later discussion, once you understand the basic principles of our monetary system.
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
ANd deficit spending into a rising GDP and full employment will produce it. Every time.
A primer nowhere near as longas the sources you posted. (I wasn’t complaining – only counting)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/…
In an economy like ours deficit spending can be useful. Depending on how much, when and on what. If we deficit spend just to make pointless transfer payments, or to pursue phony wars – we will crash our economy.
If we invest in education and infrastructure – at a reasonable rate – we’re good for more GDP growth.
ONe trivial trifle with MMT as you’ve been describing ot – in the USA the Federal Reserve controls the money supply and the Federal Reserve is not the federal government (independent shareholder owned, federally chartered, entity. )
Yes, the Federal Reserve was delegated the right to create money – but this is only one of serveral wrong headed statutes that have been adopted over the years to put our monetary system in the hands of the Banksters to use for their own benefit rather than the public at large. We can take back this authority whenever we have the votes and political will to do so. Unfortunately, voting for either Udall or Bennet will not return our sovereign rights in this area to us.
MMT is good becasue it argues against Krugman however it is still wrong.
Read this.
http://mises.org/daily/5260/Th…
Pay me;)
Read it first and then we can discuss.
It doesn’t work that way.
Your motivation is the desire to be taken seriously.
I’ll give jadodd’s link a try because he gives a good reason and shows he knows what he’s talking about. You, OTOH, engage in endless Appeals to Authority (a logical fallacy – “It’s wrong [or right] because so-and-so says so” isn’t an argument, it’s bleating.
Show your work, or expect me to keep pointing out that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
You’ll click to jadodd’s link, but Nock’s you refuse to click due to biased personal feelings …. You’re a treasure and a peach.
Typical conservative double standard.
Sorry, Lib. I know that you’re doing this because Nock is every bit the parrot (all repetition, no comprehension) that you are, so you feel compelled to come to his aid. But jadodd has at least demonstrated that he knows something about the subject he addresses. Nock only has one-liners and links.
The only “bias” I have is that people should know what the hell they’re talking about. I’ll listen to any con who can demonstrate independent thought. You and Nock have never done that.
Albert, once again you rely on a proponent of the Austrian School. As I have pointed out before, the AS disdains empericism in economic theory. Their theory is unable to predict future economic trends or conduct. For them, economics is a religion. It is like a Chistian saying Judaism is wrong. MMT predicted the current recession and the ongoing problems correcting it both here in the US and in Europe when the neoliberals and the Austrians were saying everything was just fine.
MMT does not predict anything.
MMT simply says government should be able to print and spend all they want.
Austrians are not the same as neoliberals and Austrians have NEVER said ANYTHING is fine.
Jaddod you lie like the devil.
Damn iPad.

A Swedish firm has worked out how to make money running free schools
If, indeed, they spend $8-12K per child, no wonder we are falling behind.
Instead, we take school drop-outs or who can’t find jobs and spend the money we should have in war zones.
OK, ten percent are in charter schools. But what are the results?
America spends 8-12K. Some go as low as 6K others as high as 21K.
DC is near the top yet also has the highest failure rate.
Colorado has a 30% dropout rate and DPS has recently hiked their graduation rate to just over 50%.
Now that DPS graduation rate is up from 43.5% in 2011, but they changed the math to get there.
The NEA, leading Colorado’s education reform for 40 years!
I tried to get a number for my local district and the only one I could easily find was from an obviously biased/anti-school expenditure guy.
But I’ll take that on the face of it and say that I was wrong.
(Something else the libs/socialists/Marxists here do, unlike y’all, who never, ever admit error.)
http://bvsd.org/grants/Documen…
Look in the lower left of the page.
A number of thing come to mind after reading the article:
1. The schools maintain profitability by standardizing everything they can. How do you suppose they deal with “misfits”? (per yesterday’s post).
2. Only scant mention is made of how successful the schools are. Nowhere in the article do they claim to be better than public schools.
3. In Sweden, the govt provides “benefits” like healthcare. In the U.S., that is provided by the employer. If you were to bring this model to the U.S., the obvious place to maximize profit is through cutting benefits.
Misfits will attend schools that serve.

Quit banging your head against the wall.
I just doesn’t suit you that well.
Where’s your explanation of the red filibuster of the Democratic introduced extension of the middle class tax cut.
Quit with your fringe bullshit and explain why the party you’re pimping for is obstructing the nation’s business.
And why are you addressing SGT Dan before apologizing to him?
Bedwetters like you should be seen, not read.
Get me that explanation, “libetad”.
Did those Czech WoW players use you for dragon fodder again, so that’s why you’re back so soon?
I will continue to put my virtual foot up your ass every chance I get, until you either 1)step up your game and cite real sources or 2) go back to watching your Game of Thrones marathon.
During the last 2 days, the most unproffesional Congress in our nation’s history torpdedoed legislation for a middle class tax cut extension, failed to ratify The Law of the Seas, and filibusterd the Fair Disclose Act.
But during this period, the Congressional, Senate, and operator republicans had bigger fish to fry than simply bringing the nation’s business to a grinding halt and ensuring the possibility of a recovery doesn’t exist.
John Sununu, Frank Gaffney, Michelle Bachman,and Shooter Cheney signalled the reopening of the vile but effective race baiting Sarah Palin made famous in ’08.
Don’t kid your self. Sununu IS the republican base. And his comments dog whistle and resonate with that older, mostly white, largely entitled, evangelical, extreme right wing fox news demographic that’s so determined to get “the black guy” out.
Bachman and Gaffney are today’s Joe McCarthy. The “drudgers” will believe the crazy accustions they’re hurling at SOS Clinton, fox will pick it up, and it will be main stream very soon.
We’re in it now, up to our eye brows.
Coupled with the very succssfull 9 state voter suppresion operation the GOP has executed, with full conservative SCOTUS complicity, that could block 5-7 million Democrtic votes, the mobilization of the red base through race baiting will make this a white knuckler.
I’ve said it before. It doesn’t matter why they are what they are. It only matters that we beat them.

‘tad and Nock must be sharing a case of Red Bull. Still not talking about Mitten’s SEC, tax return and now IRA stories. Found an article that does a very good job of explaining the various theories about how one might accumulate 100 mill in an IRA in such a short time (or at all), despite the contribution limits.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…
Really worthwhile to read the whole thing. Not too long. The interesting thing is, while there seem to be various explanations for how, the why remains puzzling to the experts. One points out that he can’t use it now and when he starts drawing on it, it’s taxed as ordinary income, a much higher rate than the tax on gain from investments. Did he think no one would know about the extra 100 million so he wouldn’t look quite so rich while running for the Presidency? He apparently thought no one would find out about all the offshore money or that he was listed as CEO (and everything else that matters) at Bain on SEC forms during the years he claims he had nothing to do with it or unearth the clip of him explaining how blind trusts are just a ruse because it’s so easy to set rules for them.
Maybe this is why CEOs make such lousy Presidents. They are so unused to a world in which they can’t function as dictators and easily hide their machinations without offering any public explanations. They don’t get that being President of a nation isn’t the same role with the same rules and goals as CEO of a company or master of a financial empire.
Maybe Nock, ‘tad and ArapG share Limbaugh’s view that it’s all a Hollywood liberal conspiracy as proved by the fact that the villain in the new Dark Night movie is named Bane while the hero is, well, “Dark”.
Why do Republicans want to suppress the voters in America? That sounds rather totalitarian/communistic to me.

The former kicked King George III’s royal ass.
The latter made the point that we are all Americans. At least those of us who are.
Gotta admit, I can think of a lot of people I would prefer not vote even though they probably can:

My $.02 cents: Someone ought to probably be giving our country’s bankers and corporate business leaders an – F – grade for their handling of the economy.
Banks’ bad behavior may be killing confidence
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/48…
The result — insufficient investment by businesses to move the economy forward at a pace that should be expected if it weren’t for the fact that businesses now all know that they can’t trust one another.
The evidence?
And, who can blame them, really? (I mean except for the fact that they continue to support the very same deregulation and reduced oversight that got us to this position — where no one can trust anyone else to be acting and reporting honestly.)
The Republican answer? End all those pesky, unAmerican, socialist, job-killing regulations. Sure guys, that’s the ticket . . .
Heard an interview with the Economist this morning. You know, the magazine that champions free enterprise and knows what they’re talking about when it comes to the economy?
They’re take: America’s economy is reinventing itself and will continue to grow and strengthen over the coming years. Less reliance on consumption and housing and more innovation and exports will bring our economy out of the doldrums.
The perils that persist: a lack of an educated workforce (education funding/reform), lack of investment in national infrastructure (needed government spending), and the European/China economic woes.
Summary: two of the three things threatening our economy include the lack of government spending on necessary economic investments.
And, again, this coming from the magazine that champions free market principles.
One more thing – the politics surrounding the election year budget debate in DC is THE single biggest factor which threatens our economy.
but would the incomplete sign in the hands of the young Rush say…”I tore my anus to avoid serving my country”?
But from the size of the sign, it could be any pronoun that precedes “tore”…Hmmm…wonder what it might be?
much like missing all of 3rd and 4th period, you can too avoid the draft with a note from your doctor.
The problem is lack of demand. It does no good to build twice as many cars, houses, iPads, etc. if there is no one to buy them. Yes if they all geared up at the same time, then it would work. But we don’t have that type of central control.
It comes back to the government has to directly increase demand.
In the big picture, the consumption will follow.
Ask Henry Ford.
I want American businesses with more than just good intentions towards spending (that cash they need to hoard to protect themselves against the avarice and misdeeds of themselves and their brethren) . . . I want American businesses who aren’t incompetent (and criminal) in their execution.
. . . And, I want a really great Reuben sandwich. (I know it’s not just me — why is that so difficult anymore, huh?)
. . . And, I want a pony. No, make that accolades. No, maybe a new windsurfing rig. No, . . . hell, I don’t know.
The point is, David, I want lots of things and I’m not getting all of them, . . . and I can’t help but think that you’re a little more than partially to blame. [stink eye]
Somebody answer me!
in these parts…the 8th St. Deli in Glenwood Springs comes to mind…as memory serves. I haven’t been to Glenwood in a while.
Hansen’s on Louisiana and Pearl. Great Zucchini fries too (though they changed them to wheels.) Buffalo wings and Chicken Parmesan are also good there.
And I thought I was just being too picky. I don’t when I last had a really top of the line Rueben. In Chicago when I was growing up you you could hardly find a deli with a bad one.
Fresh, quality ingredients; properly and gently cooked and assembled. One pan.
Bread: Dark seeded rye. Pan browned (on both sides, don’t be lazy) and crisped in butter. It should be toasted crisp on both sides, but still soft in the middle.
Corned beef: With some fat please; this isn’t a diet sandwich so save that lean, dry crap for your hash, huh? Lightly fryed in the butter remains and brown bits from toasting the bread. You don’t need a whole pile of meat — it’s a sandwich, not an attempt to reconstruct the animal it came from.
Kraut. Fresh. Home-crocked, preferably. Crisp and tangy. Well drained and wrung out a little in a paper towel. Saute this in the pan after the meat, don’t overcook, think al dente. As the kraut cooks there should be just enough liquid released to deglaze the pan and allow allow that fond from the bread and meat steps to be absorbed into the kraut.
Assemble. On a warmed plate. Bread. Thin, I repeat thin, spread of homemade aioli on both pieces of bread (keeps the bread from losing it’s crisp as well as adding another dimension of flavor.) Warmed meat. Thin sliced swiss cheese, already at room temperature so that it just begins melting when put between the warm meat and kraut. Kraut. Bread.
Thousand Island on the side please, cause no one ever, I repeat ever, gets the amount right, so don’t even try.
Serve with a large handful of plain Ruffles potato chips and two crisp, fresh garlic kosher dill spears.
Come on people, it just isn’t that hard.
Anyone who can stand that chemical taste has no business being so demanding about how the sandwich gets made.
(I’m teasing, but honestly – if you stop eating Ruffles and only eat kettle-cooked chips from small producers for a few months, then grab some Ruffles sometime… they just don’t taste right.)
an inexcusable brain fart, I should have written “ripple style” instead of those miserable brand name abominations. Sorry, folks.
damn that sounds like a good reuben.
Don’t I wish. Only stuff in the grocery store deli’s around here are “fat free.” Boar’s Head brand. How they do it, I don’t know.
That Ruffles is nasty stuff. I don’t know how it can taste so different than the regular Lay’s, I don’t know.
because it’s remarkably easy. (Just get a brisket, rub it with tons of salt and spices, wrap tightly, and keep in the fridge for a week, turning it once a day). However… I’ve only used it for corned beef and cabbage, and would not be sure if it would be good on a reuben. (It’s braised for corned beef and cabbage – maybe it has to be cooked differently for sandwiches?)
They used to have a location in old downtown Littleton. Have no idea how much of a reuben snob you might be, so be forewarned that if you don’t like it, I will blame you rather than the staff at Abe’s…

Here’s what I propose to the campaigns, I’ll take half of what you’re going to spend on me and then vote for Gary Johnson.

I learned those same things in 9th grade journalism, it wasn’t a class; we put out the school paper.
I have noticed that many current “journalists” never learned what we did.
Another day, another issue of “why hasn’t Mitt released his tax returns?”
Today’s speculation, starting over at Slate: Did Mitt Romney Take The 2009 Swiss Bank Account Amnesty? Was Romney failing to pay income taxes on overseas accounts? Was he, in effect, a tax cheat?
This isn’t going to blow over, and each new speculation seems worse than the last.
Romney did in fact have an account at Swiss bank UBS, which was at the center of the tax shelter scandal. The account was some $3 million dollars, according to a Romney advisor; it was closed in 2010 (conveniently, when it theoretically would have become relatively worthless, having been disclosed to the IRS).
The Huffington Post has more.
I want to hear the candidates talk about the big issues, and it’s all being sidetracked because Romney just might in fact be a bona fide tax cheat unworthy of his party’s nomination.
Sigh.
Because then Obama wins. In a walk.
And otherwise we are in for 95% personal attacks. Romney wants to talk about just jobs (which is the key issue this election) and Obama wants to talk about Romneycare. So each is desperate to not have a conversation on the primary issue the other wants to discuss.
it looks pretty bad for the Mittens.
earlier that the possibility exists that Rmoney is much wealthier than he wants Americans to know, figuring we are not ready to elect our first billionaire.
Who knows?
Does it matter?
And would that have made him the 1st billionaire governor?
I heard someone suggest, who cares?
at least the American media does, you hapless loser. Even conservatives are piling on your Rmoneybot.
