    LOL I try to picture him every once in a while (curiousity is a ), is he some young kid who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, or an embittered middle aged man who finds no joy in life. (yes there are dozens of other possibilities, but on the seldom occasions I put any concious thought into it this is what I come up with)

    MSNBC abandons GOP convention during every speech by a minority

    One of the left’s favorite attacks on the Republican Party is that it is the party of old white people, devoid of diversity and probably racist.
    Take a look at the diverse MSNBC panel:


    With the exception of Nikki Haley (of Indian descent -- and only because they probably didn't know), NBC's page of video clips, from the Convention, only carried speeches by Whites. Mia Love and Artur Davis gave two of the most impassioned and dynamic speeches of the evening yet, nothing...No Davis, No Love.

    Video: Tuesday night's RNC speeches

    Maybe this explains it:

    Republican National Convention puts a brown face on a white party

    Todd: GOP Putting Minorities In Front At Convention To Appear Diverse

    I think it was rabid Chris Matthews that used the term "racist dog whistle" to describe what he viewed as the nuanced way Republicans express their racism. And, every time a minority represents the Republican Party, they're called sell-outs, ignorant, tokens, or worse.

    Ask Mia Love, Artur Davis, Nikki Haley, Brian Sandoval, Sher Valenzuela, Ted Cruz, or Luce’ Vela Fortuño if they are tokens or if they are conservatives.

    Because of new media, political forums and social networks, tactics such as were exhibited above, have less impact but, are telling, none-the-less.

    A couple of days ago, James Taranto, at the Wall Street Journal, countered by saying something to the effect of, "If you're hearing a dog whistle, that means you're the dog."

    It's becoming increasingly apparent, to me, that people such as Chris Matthews are the racists.

    I'll go with embittered middle age man. Probably in a dead end job, a grotesquely fat wife, and was always last to get picked in elementary school when they divided up sports teams.

    So boutons, which one of your two alter-egos is the liar?
    What's the problem?

    the two "alter egos", the frauds, are the hypocritical Repugs who trash govt, Keynesian counter-cyclical stimulus, and Obama, but LOVE when govt $Bs fall in their districts so they can claim credit and pander for votes.

    I'm pretty sure it involves a couple of out work Atari programmers who blame Ronald Reagan and IBM for their misfortune and a malicious virus program that lay dormant on an early model cassette drive until Al Gore came along and unleashed the boutons 1.0 program upon the world by inventing the internet. George Soros and the kooks at thinkprogress did a re-write and left us with the boutons 2.0 program that we see today.

    So there isn't a blatant strategy by republicans to block stimulus programs.

    Glad we've got that settled.

    you're still confused.

    Repugs SAY they hate govt and stimulus, and will block it if possible (when they are NOT the initiators of the stimulus).

    But Repugs LOVE when the $Bs of stimulus (they couldn't stop) fall in their laps.

    So their strategy is to block economic stimulus (except for when they don't).

    Gotcha. Repugs hate stimulus and want to block it, yet they get very happy when their efforts to block stimulus fail because they love stimulus so much.

    IIRC, Fox Repug Propaganda network refused to carry HUSSEIN's State of the Union speech.

    you got nothing.

    eg, Repugs voted against THEIR TARP, knowing they couldn't stop it if they wanted to. And then they could "blame" TARP on the Dems and claim they voted against it.

    But not one of the Repugs would have allowed the TBTF fail. They would have bailed every one of them out just like the Dems did.

    Pretty tricky, huh? You probably aren't capable of "gotcha" it, but stick with it.

    The GOP can roll out as many African Americans and Latinos as they want at their convention, but that floor of delegates was about as whitebread as they come. That's an issue for the GOP and will continue to be an issue as long as they attempt to cater to the right-wing fringe of the party of which you are a part.

    Two people were removed from the Republican National Convention Tuesday after they threw nuts at an African-American CNN camera operator and said, “This is how we feed animals.”

    Multiple witnesses observed the exchange and RNC security and police immediately removed the two people from the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

    The convention released a statement saying, “Two attendees tonight exhibited deplorable behavior. Their conduct was inexcusable and unacceptable. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated."

    Romney party yacht ‘Cracker Bay’ flies Cayman Islands flag in Tampa



    Romney came under fire earlier this year when it was revealed that he had millions stashed in the Cayman Islands, a notorious tax haven. In August, Vanity Fair reported that Romney still had a personal stake in at least 12 of Bain Capital’s Cayman Island funds, worth up to $30 million.

    The candidate recently insisted to Fox News host Chris Wallace that “there was no reduction — not one dollar reduction — in taxes by virtue of having an account in Switzerland or a Cayman Islands investment.”

    “I think it’s ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn’t even pay its taxes,” a woman who lives at the marina where Cracker Bay is moored told ABC News.

    The blatant strategy of the Repugs since 2009 has been to block economic stimulus, to deeepen and extend the Banksters' Great Depression, counting on high unemployment to defeat Obama.

    The LAST THING the Repugs want now is increasing employment in ANY state, even in Repug states (but of course, the govs want credit for increasing employment in their states.
    One of you is a liar. Both of you are idiots.

    Too complex for ya, obviously

    The Congressional and Gecko election posse Repugs WANT a horrible economy to get rid of HUSSEIN.

    The governors NEED to show how they are job creators/economy stimulators to their "all politics is local" states.
