the dirty little secret

The dirty little secret. 

 

Dick,

And the winner is...

 

Well, it's not the American People, that's for sure. 

Not only are we involved in our nation's longest war, the War on Terror, but also the longest presidential campaign.  Four Years.  The ink was barely dry on Obama's oath of Office when the Not So Loyal Opposition gathered and took a solemn vow to bring this Non Citizen, Muslim, African Socialist to his knees. 

How are we Americans supposed to have respect for our leaders when they behave worse than 3 year olds at a birthday party?  How can we reach across the aisle and seek to mend open wounds when there is now a moat with crocodiles and Great White Sharks cruising back and forth? 

Looking to Religion for guidance, we learn that when a congregation comes to the place that two sides simply cannot agree on anything, the church splits into two congregations.  Is this where America is headed?  A split into two Houses? 

The Ruling Class and the Rest of Us. 

If the 99% could just do that, turn their backs on the Ruling Class, and set about tending to business, the Ruling Class would soon die of malnutrition.  They can't survive without the Working Class, but the dirty little secret is that the Working Class can get along just fine, and maybe even better, without them.  Remember, the Ruling Class came out of the Working Class.  And not because they worked harder, although some did, but because they embraced Greed and turned their backs on their neighbors. 

Just my private thoughts.

Whoppers of 2012, Final Edition

The biggest falsehoods from the presidential campaign.

October 31, 2012

Summary

With only days to go until Election Day 2012, we look here at the most egregiously false and misleading claims from the entire presidential campaign. Some examples:

*President Barack Obama claimed Mitt Romney is planning to raise taxes by $2,000 on middle-income taxpayers and/or cut taxes by $5 trillion. Neither is true.
*Romney claimed Obama plans to raise taxes by $4,000 on middle-income taxpayers. That's not true, either.
*It's also not true that Obama plans "to gut welfare reform by dropping work requirements," as Romney claimed.
*Equally untrue is the Obama campaign's repeated claim that Romney backed a law that would outlaw "all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest."

So many false and twisted claims were made in the early months that we issued an "early edition" of our annual wrap-up of political whoppers in July. We noted then that the campaign had been nasty, brutish and long.

And it's only gotten longer, not more truthful.

For example, Romney just claimed that the bailed-out Chrysler Corp. is thinking of moving all Jeep production to China. Chrysler quickly denounced that as a falsehood. Romney's latest whopper is perhaps his payback for Obama's earlier accusation that Romney personally "shipped jobs to China" at a time when, in reality, Romney was running the 2002 Winter Olympics, not Bain Capital. Thus one whopper begets another.

It's been that sort of campaign, filled from beginning to end with deceptive attacks and counterattacks, and dubious claims. For a generous sampling of the worst of a bad lot, please read on to our Analysis section.
