The Corruptionists

Buzzfeed:  A Romney aide told reporters that the event in Las Vegas is not a fundraiser but a "finance event," and therefore closed to reporters. The aide would not say what the distinction is between the two, declining to say whether the campaign is collecting checks at the event.

Either way, they're collecting the cash that's destroying our democracy is record amounts and in secret.  

Fuck The Constitution

Think Progress:  Late last week, Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who is currently campaigning for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ), told a Republican gathering in Payson, Arizona that he supports abolishing the Seventeenth Amendment’s guarantee that voters elect their own senators.

These people can't stand the constitution. Previously the Republican party has attacked the fourth amendment, the fifth amendment, the eighth amendment, the 14th amendment, the 16th amendment, the 17th amendment, Article VI, the Civil Rights Act, the establishment clause, posse comitatus and due process.  Aside from the amendment that according to them gives every nut-job the right to own an assault rife, they pretty much hate the whole thing.

Base(ically) Racist

Raw Story:  Conservative columnist Ann Coulter on Wednesday said that President Barack Obama was campaigning with women’s rights activist Sandra Fluke because his base was “stupid single women.”

Not really. Fluke is a graduate of Georgetown Law.  But the base of the GOP is racist.  They deliberately built it that way.  If you have any doubt just google the term  "the Southern Strategy."

Can't Delay The Truth

Zimbio:  The controversial Kathryn Bigelow film depicting the special forces mission to capture or kill Osama bin Laden has received its first official teaser trailer, courtesy of Sony Pictures.

Penned by Hurt Locker screenwriter Mark Boal, Zero Dark Thirty has been criticized for its ties to the Obama administration, with some even suspecting it of being pro-Obama propaganda.

To assuage critics, the film's release date was moved from October to December 19th.

The "critics" are Republicans who are upset this film reminds us that in response to 9/11 their team lied and cheated to invade Iraq so their crony war profiteering corporate backers could fleece the American taxpayer for trillions of dollars while Obama quietly and efficiently went about the business of getting Osama Bin Ladin.  The horrible truth of the matter is Republicans will sell out our national security to enrich themselves and their party.

What Is Mitt Romney Hiding?

RNC Chairman on Harry Reid:  ‘Dirty Liar’

Harry Reid:
“The issue that I raised has nothing to do with me,” Reid told reporters. “It has everything to do with the first presidential candidate in more than 30 years who refuses to show the American people his income tax returns.” "Listen, Romney can solve this problem very quickly: Produce the tax returns."
If Reid's source was wrong Mitt Rmoney would have no reason not release his tax returns like every other presidential candidate does.  The fact he won't strongly indicates he's a tax cheat.  Whatever the truth., he's obviously hiding something.  Before we let him be president we need to know what it is.

Mitt Romney, Dirty Liar

TPM: Vets: Romney Lying About Obama’s Early Voting Suit

Politico: Mitt Romney sparked a Saturday tit-for-tat by claiming, without pointing to any evidence, that President Obama's campaign is trying to restrict military voting in Ohio.

When in fact the exact opposite is true. Obama's lawsuit is seeking to restore early voting rights to nearly a million veterans along with police officers, firefighters, and all the other voters in Ohio. Rmoney is trying to restrict it.  To borrow a term from the chairman of the Republican party, Rmoney is a dirty liar. And an enemy of democracy on top of that.
