“They want to be in control of things that people eat, drink, use, high-tech, all this. Liberals have to have control over people, largely based in the belief… Well, it’s a raw thirst for power but it’s also rooted in the fact they have contempt for people’s ability to handle the rigors of life on their own. The Islamists want to do it just to keep this rigid moral code intact and fealty to the ‘Holy Qur’an,’ as President Obama pronounces it.”
–Rush Limbaugh, yesterday

Wonder if he’ll tan some before he gets here.
Oh- and Ohio and Florida (and VA and WI), President is pulling ahead. And voters continued to get registered in all those places.
Yay!!! voter reg. (it’s how you win)
No one can show a realistic electoral map where Romney/Ryan can win without OH or FL. If he loses both- he’s done.
A Rally at the Ringling Museum.
Listened to a post-rally news item. The radio host asked about minorities. The correspondent said he didn’t see a one. All white. And, of course, being Sarasota, a lot of gray hair.
The “Keep your gummint hands offa my Medicare” crowd.
Apparently he is test driving a couple of new memes. Sorry, my Alzheimer’s is preventing me from remembering what he said.
Always so clever and articulate
Needed to be said. Be still my beating heart !
Won’t bother embedding since it’s from July. Which is like the Jurassic period or something in political time.

Thanks for that.
Obama’s Convention Bounce May Not Be Receding.
So says Nate Silver. All bolding is mine.
The point Nate is repeating is this: Obama’s Lead Looks Stronger in Polls That Include Cellphones. He goes on to show why robocall firms like Libby’s beloved Rasmussen aren’t as accurate as those using live operators.

Well, almost.
My response? If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Also, it made me think of this:
(I know, it’s Friday, but this comment belongs on the open thread IMO.)
(Also, I predict that A-BOT will try to say I’m being mean to Ann.)
when things are falling apart they show their true character.
let ’em hoist themselves by their own petards!
By 2nd week of November the RMoney’s will be silently sulking outta the klieg lights for a very long extended trip away. Mitt’s ass-kickin’ is gonna hurt but guess a Cayman’s vaca will give a true tan (rather than a Univision spray-on).
to spend a little time alone with your money.
unless you’re talking about where the help that hasn’t self-deported yet cower in fear frOm the Queen’s wrath.
Mitt claims he’s saving up Ann ’cause she’s just too precious on the stump. Reality is she’s the
most pathetic self-entitled braying ass outta the whole RMoney clan.
Now Countess de Romney finds a few of her own 1%ers revolting but it’s clearly their deficiencies and not in any way Mitt’s. She’s is one evil Stepford.
It is hard.
So what?
things are supposed to be easy when you’re rich . . . we were promised: easy life, . . . easy money . . . easy victory . . . easy everything, dammit.
You ungrateful little people still owe Willard and me a whole bunch more easy — it’s a rule!

GirlGuy?. . . don’t know that much about boxing, but I’m told I’ve got great gams.
If Rush had stopped at the first sentence, he might have had something to start on. This need to regulate absolutely everything is endemic to the human race, and no side is immune from it.
For Republicans it’s been a race to over-regulate voting and limit freedom of speech, make every minor moral infraction an prison-worthy crime, and attack the rights of women. For Democrats, it seems that when we’re not careful we wind up doing stupid shit like outlawing large fountain sodas or anything that might once in a blue moon hurt someone.
Just change “liberals” to conservatives and “belief” to religious belief and the list could include regulation of pregnancies, birth control, gay marriage, what sexual orientation our serving troops ought to be required to have, what religious practices ought to be endorsed by the government and shoved down your kid’s throat through prayer in school and religious displays on government property, which citizens rights gay citizens ought to be required to give up, whether or not Muslims should have the same rights as other religious groups to build houses of worship or cultural centers on properly zoned and paid for property and that’s just for starters.
that protects air, water and safety
over uteruses and voting
southern strategy that turned southern Dems into Rs by joining them in hating regulations against institutionalized racial discrimination. And not just racial. Not just in the south, either. When I was a girl, pre-civil rights legislation and the southern strategy, my Republican Senator, Percy IL, was still able to live in a north shore Chicago suburb that didn’t allow the likes of my family (not African-American, Jewish-American) to buy there. Oh those freedom loving, non-regulating Rs.
New Poll Results Show Obama Lead Down to One Point (+)

Maybe Pols wanted to time an FP for later in the day?
Now, I’ve only heard a clip of that, but there is NO making good news out of this.
I did hear about 30 minutes of Obama speaking via satellite to the same convention. Rousing cheer after cheer as he discussed Medicare and the benefits to it from Obamacare. He took questions, and he was very, very well spoken using lots of those things that Republicans hate.
Facts.
about Obamacare raiding $ 716 billion from Medicare. The lie that has been completely discredited about a thousand times on national medai, and by President Clinton himself at the DNC to an audience of millions.
What the fuck is wrong with this guy ? When he or Mitt say something stupid they just dig their heels in and double down. Whatever.
media – don’t know what medai is exactly…
I don’t bother to correct anymore. I figure people know what I meant.
….or his staffers are.
Less than two hours before, Obama brought up that Republican lie, explained to the crowd what it was about.
So Ryan walks right into the poo poo…..
from Business Insider:
A hearty fuck you to Eric Cantor and the tea party for not only totally shitting the bed when leadership is needed here, but also for augmenting our good standing abroad

Big news for me, as trying to mail my ballot home from China was going to be a nightmare.
Email from the SoS office follows:
And it’s even in my other language, Spanish, too.
To say this is out of the blue for me is an understatement. Has this process been vetted by election security experts? Online election systems have been deemed too unsecured in the past and I would be skeptical about an entirely online system.
However, the language on the page seems to indicate that you get to access and mark your ballot online, but that perhaps you still have to print it and mail it back. If so, you’re still stuck mailing it back from China – you just don’t have to get it mailed TO you in China.
