Keep trying to deny your own words, dig that hole deeper...

Dkush,

What is your solution? To force companies and corporations to not outsource? I wonder if you were to disassemble your computer-or if you dont own a computer-the computer you used to post your protectionist rant-would you recognize which parts were designed and made in the United States vs parts that were designed ex-US?

In your world, how far would your tentacles reach? Which industry does not outsource?

It's just so nice to see they really care about us and our future, and the future of this country and not for their own interests and the interest of their lobbist's and rich buddies!

Harry Reid never lied about me having professed to be a socialist. You did, RetiredAirForce. Quit mincing up excuses for your lie.

Gandalf your faux outrage of me using the same words that your dem leader of the US Senate stated, the very thing you were silent over, shows you have no standards to be crying over...

We have given and keep giving corporations and big money tax-cuts. Has that stopped them from outsourcing?

In time you will see more and more of them expensive vehicles. Militarizing police force is coming to USA soon. Wait till after Nov. Austarity coming.

We can waste time commenting on this balloon juice but no one is allowed to comment on the armored truck the local cops want to buy to the tune of one hundred sixty thousand dollars.
How is this not tax payer business? Why are comments not allowed when such a large amount of money is involved? We seem to be able to debate all the school problems with a lack of funds but a armored truck is not debatable? I for one want an explaination of why the cops can buy a tank but no one gets to ask why?

"Oh yes, regale us with independent bloggers from Forbes. Which Republican vice-presidential candidate supported the auto bailout? Really, the partisan level of cow dung is a mile deep at this point, but just keep heaping it on."
This coming from the same partisan tool who alludes to the fact that because stock market indexes have risen in value since '08, that the economy has also strengthened.......really? While a republican VP candidate might have voted for the bailout, I don't seem to remember him taking credit for it and considering it and the way he structured it as one of his crowning achievements. BTW because it's an independent blogger from Forbes, does that mean his numbers are wrong? I love the fact that when another independent blogger from Forbes(Ungar) was railing against walker, the left referenced him over and over, but when another one rails against obama, he's immediately discredited?? Do you have evidence that 2/3 of GM's workforce is not outside our borders. If yes, please cite the source, but I would hate to spread incorrect info......Thx!

Oh yes, regale us with independent bloggers from Forbes. Which Republican vice-presidential candidate supported the auto bailout? Really, the partisan level of cow dung is a mile deep at this point, but just keep heaping it on.

Let's follow that with one of the more current American jobs outsourcers, Obama's very own "success story", General Motors. With 2/3 of it's labor force now residing outside of our country all while giving American's the privilege of shoring up the company with billions of tax dollars though forced "investment" and Obama's "cash for clunkers" programs........

"During the 2008 Presidential Campaign, Barack Obama received significant support from prominent Republicans, including former governors, members of congress and other high-ranking officials. On November 4, 2008, Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States, capturing 53% of the popular vote, including 9% of Republicans and 20% of self-described Conservatives.

President Obama’s cabinet has included both Republicans and conservatives, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Army Secretary John McHugh, and Jon Huntsman, the former Governor of Utah, who was chosen to be the U.S.’s Ambassador to China." Republicans For Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/first... ]

With a self-described moderate progressive running against Obama in 2012, those percentages of conservatives and Republicans supporting Obama should be even higher.

From: "Romney: An Outsourcing Pioneer" at Republicans For Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/node/... ]

"In an article in today's Washington Post, Mitt Romney's Bain capital is described as one of the first companies involved with supporting the outsourcing of American jobs overseas."

My full statement was, "And stating that I have "professed" that I am a socialist is a lie."

If you had been able to find just one comment where I professed to be a socialist you surely would have copied and pasted it by now. The fact no comment has been shown to exist in my finite number of comments where I profess I am a socialist is proof of your lie.

I thought we had an accurate list of the socialists. Just check the list.

I am a socialist is a lie.
-
well prove it...

Patriots here understand the magnitude of this election. We need it to rewrite the history books. Expunge from the history books our Bush-led massive failures of deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, unfunded wars.

We'll keep just enough liberals around to blame our failures on. Beautiful.

eagle1, it seems quite certain that a person would come to the same conclusion you have made even if your comments were the only ones they had read.

to all those who are down on romney/ryan...you must think the country is headed in the right direction now and happy w/the way things are...this must be what you were "hoping" for and the change you thought was needed when you elected obama '08...or are you still looking for all those inaugural speech promises to come to fruition? too little, too late if you ask me. time for policies that have proven successful to be implemented and get this country back to #1 and not just another part of the collective.

poobah no my labels are not helpful, I have learned over the years you cannot help the helpless I am just making an observation or perhaps a warning for the people with brains that visit this thread that the majority of the comments are from non thinking blind partisans.

""What good does it do", said the self-professed socialist that also stated "blind partisan crackpots""

"Blind partisan crackpots." Those aren't my words; nice misstatement of the facts. Those are the words of eagle1. And stating that I have "professed" that I am a socialist is a lie. I don't think you really want to pursue this any further.

If by chance the romney, ryan slate would happen to get elected and their policies are what they appear to be. More of the almost uninterrupted thirty years of failed trickle down, welfare to the wealthy. Job creators? Yes that's really worked well. The trend will probably accelerate.

So there are no signs allowed? Does that me no signs for anyone? Let's see from the news clips if anyone is holding a sign, and what they say.

"What good does it do", said the self-professed socialist who also stated these lovely posts "blind partisan crackpots", "Republicans can't be trusted with our national security", "old curmudgeons", "fake at the top of the Republican ticket", and "Mitt Romney is a fake".

Hmmmmm looks like more of the same from the ole do as I say not as I do crowd...as the deflection continues.

Not surprisingly they are still not talking about the failures that the hope and change achieved...

- Unemployment over 8% for over 3 1/2 years.
- The national debt larger than the size of the US economy.
- Our nations bond rating lowered for the first time in history.
- No national budget for over 3 years.
- Historic levels of national deficits.
- For every dollar spent the nation is borrowing 40 cents.

You can add blind partisan crackpots to the list. That's just as helpful as the rest of them, isn't it?

What good does it do calling people socialists, exclusionist liberal clan, fringe, sheeple, fake people, left wing plants, left wing party hacks? And that's just a few of your choice words in the last few hours!

I see it is the usual blind partisan crackpots commenting on this thread.

The dem chairwomen has invested in the EVIL places where other dems complain of Romney having money....more of the same from the do as I say not as I do crowd....deflect deflect deflect http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/dem-...

Talk about personal investments does what to
fix the failures that hope and change achieved...(He did build that)
- Unemployment over 8% for over 3 1/2 years.
- The national debt larger than the size of the US economy.
- Our nations bond rating lowered for the first time in history.
- No national budget for over 3 years.
- Historic levels of national deficits.
- For every dollar spent the nation is borrowing 40 cents.

Romney's money has gone into offshore tax haven bank accounts.

Obama's money has gone 90% to negative ads on Romney and yet Romney is up over Obama now. This week should be great television. His first brilliant decision was choosing Paul Ryan to be his running mate.
Obama's first decision was Joe Blunder. Proceeded with 3-1/2 years of Obama blunders.

I remember ...deflection...

916WI asked, "Anyone remember Obama telling us his HCR would be "deficit neutral"?"

I remember Romney writing an opinion editorial in USA Today advising Obama to give up on a public option and pass what we now know as ObamaCare. No surprise there. If Obama is the father of ObamaCare, Romney is the proud grandfather of ObamaCare. [ http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/new... ]

Here's some more laughs for you, 916WI. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQx3qWL43... ]

Well Obama understands the truth, wonder why his sheeple don't

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmRgaKfWM...

Sorry Poohboy--I initially didn't scan far enough down in the thread to see that you had brought Bush into the conversation again........Awesome! You're definitely predictable, but it still always seems to provide a laugh:) Thanks!

Even Nancy doesn't want to talk about the past...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRKkkwxYl...

"Unemployment over 8% for over 3 1/2 years" What are you talking about RAF? The Obama Administration was very clear when they told us that if the stimulus was passed, that unemployment wouldn't top 8%.......How could this administration be so wrong regarding something this important?!?
Oh, I forgot, they've been wrong about almost everything!:)
Anyone remember Obama telling us his HCR would be "deficit neutral"? That was probably the biggest joke of the decade.....of course, coming in second to the joke his entire first term has been!:)

916WI asked, "Are you sure you don't want to reference Bush somewhere in your quote?"

Nah, wislady is doing a fine job of that. Back to your milk toast.

"pointing to bush is just funny."

Yes, shame on you for doing that, wislady. You probably made a few old curmudgeons crack a smile while eating their milk toast and prunes.

"for the last two years of Obama's presidency the Republican House has obstructed most of Obama's proposals."
Too funny Poohboy! Are you sure you don't want to reference Bush somewhere in your quote? That seems to be the the thing to do when attempting to justify the complete failure of the current administration......If not, at least you tried to pass the responsibility to the Republican house--anyone but the man in charge....right?:)

This is what your hope and change has achieved...

- Unemployment over 8% for over 3 1/2 years.
- The national debt larger than the size of the US economy.
- Our nations bond rating lowered for the first time in history.
- No national budget for over 3 years.
- Historic levels of national deficits.
- For every dollar spent the nation is borrowing 40 cents.

More distraction....bush blah blah blah.

None of that has to do with the pain people are feeling this year. I understand when you have nothing to point at with pride over the past 4 years, but pointing to bush is just funny.

wislady said, "The last two years of GWB presidency, the democrats were in control."

GWB said, "I'm the decider."

Who ya gonna believe?

Just my 2 cents worth.....

---

I'm amazed at how the defenders of Scott Walker who were all "it's working" just 2 months ago are suddenly quoting the "real unemployment rate" and berating the state of the economy they were so proud of just 8 weeks ago.

----

I am not a huge fan of Paul Ryan's plan for medicare, but I have to give him credit for at least having a plan...something that has been sorely missing from pretty much everybody else on both sides of the aisle.

-----

What we really need is someone with a plan to stop the abuse of Social Security Disability. It has become the new welfare. That is what is going to sink our system.

----

Carry on.

Do you mean like the a BUDGET???
How about the Obamacare that was passed in the dead of night? The words "we have to pass it to see what is in it" were chilling, to say the least.
As Americans find out more about the shell game being played, the double counting, the gutting of the Medicare system to be used in the funding for Obamacare...it is time to stop this runaway train wreck.

wislady, for the last two years of Obama's presidency the Republican House has obstructed most of Obama's proposals.

Don’t you flip floppers remember that Obama has re-coined the phrase to “evolving” when he does it?

poobah, I stand behind my link of the fake world of Obama and his ads, twitter, and support for his failed policies.
Romney's numbers grow in support with every poll.
Carter the sequel

poohbah

The last two years of GWB presidency, the democrats were in control. Obama is finishing his first term....the democrats have had 6 years to "fix" things.

Let's take a look at George W. Bush's last 7 months of U6.data from your same source and compare the trend with the Obama data you cited.

Jun 10.1, Jul 10.5, Aug 10.8, Sep 12.1, Oct 11.8, Nov 12.7, Dec 13.5

See the huge difference in trends in those last 7 months of data and the upward trending disaster that Bush left Obama?

Bush trend: up 3.4% (an increase of 34%)

Obama trend: down 0.1% (a decrease of 1%)

Distraction, distraction, distraction.

"Pretend dems," you say? Let's try to follow that thinking... A bunch of "pretend dems" start a group where they become a bunch of pretend republicans that support Obama. Hmmmm...

This is a much simpler explanation: "John Martin is the Co-founder and Director of Republicans for Obama. He has worked for various Republican candidates throughout the northeast, most recently on the Foley for Governor campaign in Connecticut. He currently lives in New York City, and is a Navy Reservist and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan." [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/about... ]

Socialists rejoice, China has your back.

China condemns Mitt Romney's 'Cold War mentality' http://www.generationaldynamics.com/cgi-...

Hey look at that he campaigned for the same guy Romney did, foley...so? Doesn't change the other facts like the pretend dems claiming to be with this org.

From Republicans For Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/node/... ]

"Questions about women and women's health have dominated the political debate over the past weeks, and at least one female Republican lawmaker is unhappy with her party’s record. New York Assemblyman Teresa Sayward (R), who is retiring after serving a decade in Albany, told the New York political program Capital Tonight that she does not support any of her party’s presidential candidates, because of their stances on women.

Asked which Republican candidate she supports, Sayward replied:

SAYWARD: I do not have a favorite in the presidential race, if I had to vote today, I’d vote for Obama.

INTERVIEW: Really?

SAYWARD: Absolutely… Because I really, truly think that the candidates that are out there today for the Republican side would take women back decades."

Here's a link to the biographies for the leadership team of the Republicans For Obama. You won't find the individual referred to in previous posts on the leadership team. [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/about... ]

You cited a link to the wrong group, Midnight_ Ride. That article is NOT about the Republicans For Obama. Then again, when has accuracy been much of a concern to you?

Oh look here, just one sample of the left wing PLANTS claiming to be members of the left wing repulicans for obama faux campaign.

This person https://twitter.com/SamuelCookIII?tw_i=2... claims to have joined the republican party 8 days ago http://chirpstory.com/li/17654 yet interestingly has also stated these statements http://favstar.fm/users/SamuelCookIII while at the same time was an obama for america coordinator http://politics.gather.com/viewArticle.a...

But the distractions from the left fringe have nothing available to defend the failed policies of the past 4 years so they stoop to these low level tricks that the sheeple follow.

"Republicans for Obama" exposed as Democrats. Overloading twitter account. Is anything about Obama real? Yes, his failed presidency.

A poster has cited information from Twitchy.com to discredit the Republicans for Obama. Based on the following press release from Twitchy.com, we can surely rely on Twitchy.com to be "fair and balanced" in their assessment of the Republicans For Obama. Or can we? The following is from the Twitchy.com website at: [ http://twitchy.com/rush-limbaugh-press-r... ]

"Colorado Springs, Col., March 9 – Michelle Malkin, owner and founder of new Internet start-up TWITCHY.COM, issued the following statement:

“As a small business owner, defender of capitalism, and advocate of free speech, I am putting my money where my conservative, free-market principles are. TWITCHY.COM is proud to join companies across the country that advertise with talk show giant Rush Limbaugh and his Excellence In Broadcasting network. Today, we will begin running ads on the RushLimbaugh.com website.

“Double standards and feigned outrage about Rush’s comments fit a decades-old pattern of liberal attempts to shut down his show and silence his voice. President Obama himself explicitly attacked Rush in 2009 at the very start of his presidency. But Limbaugh not only has survived countless protests, boycotts, media smears and political attempts to kick him off the airwaves. He has emerged each time with a higher profile, greater influence, and a strengthened hand.

“Our business is fledgling and the ad revenue we generate may be small, but we are grateful for the opportunity to reach Rush’s massive audience – and to show our support for his work.”

Wow the new "spin" from the fringe is a org claiming to be one thing yet are just more of the same thing from the left; propaganda trying to deflect from the failed policies of the last 4 years.

The spin of the day is a faux group "Republicans For Obama". This org has been shown for what it really is, full of left wing party hacks to include bigots.

hmm the math isn't adding up. It says they will station 45 officers at this event which will cost the city $18,229 which is over $405 per officer. They must have left something out or somebody really needs to make some cutbacks.

Did anyone happen to see all the buzzards or vultures hanging around at Craig HS this morning during the heart walk?

yada and Midnight_Ride, I'm happy you both enjoyed my prior comment. It's not easy making everyone happy. I trust that both of you will also enjoy this YouTube video: [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla... ]

Thank you poobah, you have a lot of time on your hands to present us with a great profile of what a fair and open minded leader Romney is. Open to all and everything considered.

yada formally mouse..Walker won - Mormon's are people too and so are Catholics and Lutherans and Muslims.

POOHBAH --> Thank you for the information that you shared on Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney. My concern with Mitt is that he is part of the Mormon group - that without a doubt - is a CULT. I find it sad that good evangelical Republicans are forgeting their Christian faith and think that being a Republican is more important. Mormons are a cult and it would be wise for the Mitt followers to take a look at the Mormons - history, beliefs, etc.

"Romney the Shape Shifter" - Republicans For Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/node/... ]

Mitt Romney on Abortion:

1994: "Abortion should be safe and legal in this country."

2002: “Let me make this very clear, I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose.”

2011: "I believe people understand that I'm firmly pro-life."

Mitt Romney on Homosexual Marriage:

1994: “As we seek to establish full equality [for gays], I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent, [Edward Kennedy]".

2011: “I believe we should have a federal amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as between a man and a woman.”

Mitt Romney on Homosexuality in the Military:

1994: "[I support] gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly."

2007: "‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ has worked well... We’re in the middle of a conflict. Now is not the time for a change in that regard, and I don’t have a policy posture as to allowing gays in the military to serve there openly."

Mitt Romney on Healthcare:

2007: “I’m proud of what we’ve done... If Massachusetts succeeds in implementing it, then that will be a model for the nation.”

2011: "What works in one state may not be the answer for another."

Mitt Romney on Immigration:

2006: "[I am against] rounding up 11 million people and forcing them at gunpoint from our country."

2008: "I disagree fundamentally that the 12 million people who come here illegally should be allowed to stay here permanently. I think that is a form of amnesty and that it's not appropriate."

Mitt Romney on Campaign Finance Reform:

1994: "I would like to have campaign spending limits."

2007: "The American people should be free to advocate for their candidates and their positions without burdensome limitations."

12 Million Republicans Want to Move On

"While the political world continues to define "mandates" and "taxes," a surprisingly large number of Republicans have had enough of it all. A new survey put out by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 26% of us (roughly 12 million Republican party members) say they would like to see Obamacare's detractors stop trying to block its implementation and move on to address other issues." Republicans For Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/node/... ]

from whz_bang"In the last 4 years he has exploded the nat'l debt,done nothing that helps joblessness, expanded the welfare class, reduced wages for the American working middleclass,and reduced the quality of our lives. "
The only thing that is incorrect about this statement is who caused this. It wasn't Obama. The explosion of the national debt...Obama simply included the cost of 2 wars in the budget, GW kept this seperate. We are living with the result of 30 years of republican policies. Trickle down economics that have only pi$$ed on the middle class. There are more people needing public assistance because of their jobs being sent overseas or wages being cut in half. Republican policies (Repeal of Glass Steagal and passage of the Graham Leach Bliley act that now allows Wall Street to use their customer’s money as casino chips. The deregulation of the financial system causing it to be continually unstable. The attempt to dissolve unions that fight for better wages. People who believe that this downward spiral started in 2009 are extremely naive or just plain stupid.

Obama can try to hide behind negative ads and side step issues but most of America is ready for November. Ryan was the perfect choice to appeal to those ready for real change for a better, stronger America.

When Democrats and independents have had enough liberal left wing radical Obama. America does have a choice in November. No more hiding behide the lights and the media.

Too funny poohbah!! A handful of people whip up a website and all of the sudden "Republicans are flocking to Obama"?? You seriously can't be that clueless......can you??:)

"The Republican party isn't what it used to be. Our leaders and our most vocal activists have written moderates out of the party and have refused to work with the other side, to the detriment of the nation.

Unfortunately, Mitt Romney has not proven to be able to stand up to our party's most extreme elements. Instead, he has fallen for the "one-size-fits-all" mentality that tax cuts for the already-wealthy will solve all of our problems, and has no workable plans to solve the challenges we face.

President Obama has shown himself to be a common-sense centrist. He has cut taxes when necessary, has taken steps to protect the environment, and has aggressively pursued Islamic extremists who threaten America. Most notably, he has reformed our healthcare system by signing a Republican-inspired healthcare plan into law. In most other points in our party's history, Obama would fit in well as a Republican." Republicans for Obama [ http://www.republicansforobama.org/ ]

Republicans are flocking to Obama.

dtb..so what about this strategy isn't working. Instead of calling people names, which you are good at, why not put forth your counter argument? Or is that too hard for you? You can't argue that welfare programs are not overwhelming our govt right now, nor can you argue that we will be able to pay for our $16 trillion debt or honor our financial commitments. We are heading to become Greece if someone or something doesn't stop this train wreck.

Whineylady- I wonder with your remarks about peoples free speech (protesting) which you seemed to disregard when the tea party was shouting people down a couple years ago. where you would have stood at certain time and places in history?

Republicans For Obama

[ http://www.republicansforobama.org/ ]

If the republicans were really for the wealthy then all of the greedy rich Hollywood types would be republican, I see mostly dems in Hollywood.

Let them protest, it will be entertaining to watch them getting handcuffed.

It isn't class warfare to continue to bring up the the lie that 5o% of the country don't pay taxes. All kinds of people are cheating on this or that. As the old lady said in the ad several years ago show me the beef. I don't mean some diatribe by some right wing talk show host either. Continue to ignore that the Reagon"s budget director and advocate for trickle down, David Stockman, recently wrote an article saying it was a failure. That the last 30 years of nearly uninterrupted welfare to the wealthy hasn't worked. Bring any of those things up and you are using class warfare. I think we all know if you continue to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result, what the analysis of that action is. In an economy requires demand for products and goods, the more people that have money the more demand.

Seek the truth or hide your head in the sand. Both require digging.

2016 powerful.

Birthers, and
Snakehandlers, and
2016ers,
OH MY!

Is this class warfare?
.
Raise taxes on the rich? “Class war­fare” the Republicans rail. Any dis­cussion of inequality, says Mitt Romney, should be held privately “in quiet rooms.”

http://www.suntimes.com/news/jackson/146...

Obama is on a quest to "fundamentally change this country." The Cloward-Piven Strategy is to overload the US public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of guaranteed annual income. The ultimate goal is to shore up the Democratic party. I think we are almost there now. We are headed to an economy like Greece's. This strategy could be effective because the Great Society programs have created a vast army of full time liberal activists whose salaries are paid from taxes of conservative tax payers. Cloward and Piven were life long members of Democratic Socialists of America. Interesting.

whz_bng - I thought you were talking about Scott Walker for a second as the two sound so similar.

nemesis, are you trying to start trouble with your Aug 25, 2012, 4:28 p.m. comment?

yada, I would love for you attend the movie "2016" and get your reaction. Obama is attacking our American heritage and dividing us with class warfare. He has been indoctrinated by the likes of Frank Marshall Davis and some of the worst radicals that America has to offer. (Wright, Ahyres ect)What is Obama's vision for America? In the last 4 years he has exploded the nat'l debt,done nothing that helps joblessness, expanded the welfare class,reduced wages for the American working middleclass,and reduced the quality of our lives. Obama's rise to the presidency is parallel to the movie,"The Manchurian Candidate". Like the "Newsweek" article outlines, he has to go.

916WI - Thanks for telling me something I don't know. I realize that when you look at the entire country, those numbers are larger that just breaking down the numbers in Wisconsin. Yes it is true that Obama's numbers are not great at all, but the point I was making is neither are Walker's for the state of Wisconsin!

Part II of II - Wash D.C. Lobbying:
The oil and gas sector companies are among one of the groups that are the biggest spenders on lobbying, especially with the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill putting restrictions on their ability to do offshore drilling. During the 2008 elections, oil companies spent a total of $132.2 million into lobbying for law reform. The three biggest spenders from the oil and gas sector group are Koch Industries ($1,931,562), Exxon Mobil Corporation ($1,337,058) and Chief Oil & Gas ($1,192,361).
Interest group lobbying is split by political affiliation. In 2010, the top industries spending for the Democratic Party are lawyers and law firms with $49,226,482, followed by health professionals with $22,000,497 and the retirement industry with $21,674,025. The largest percentage supporters of the party are industrial unions (98% Democratic, 2% Republican), building trade unions (93% Democratic, 8% Republican), and the public sector unions (91% Democratic, 9% Republican).
In 2010, the top industries spending for the Republic Party are the retirement industry ($17,304,174), health professionals ($16,080,916) and investment industries ($12,151,945). The largest percentage supporters of the party are business services (70% Republican, 30% Democratic), and lawyers/law firms (82% Republican, 18% Democratic).

Part I of II – Wash D.C. Lobbying: Legislation is not determined by the Will of the People, it is purchased via political campaign contributions. Elections are smokescreens to trick taxpayers into believing they have rights. The process is totally corrupt.
Washington D.C. is home to 11,140 lobbyists. In 2010, the total amount spent on lobbying in the U.S. was $3.5 billion.
1)The top sectors for lobbying as of 2010 are financial, insurance, real estate, with $4,405,909,610 spent on lobbying. The financial, insurance, real estate sector is the largest source of campaign contributions. The sector includes insurance companies, securities and investment firms, real estate interests and commercial banks. During the 2008 real estate crisis, the sector spent $468.8 million on lobbying.
2)Health is the second largest sector by spending, with $4,369,979,173 recorded in 2010. An increase in spending was seen in 2009 with the legislature formation of Health bills, and health insurance laws. Over 1 million per day is spent on influencing health legislature starting in 2009.

An array of interest groups take part in political influence, whenever an opportunity arises, such as a health care reform, election, and economic reform. These groups include opposing view-points, such as pro-life, and pro-choice, and other strongly controversial issues.
Education centers, such as school districts, colleges, and universities are not allowed to directly lobby, however they are allowed to be represented by associated individuals in the field. The education interest group does not include teacher unions. Spending from the education group increases around election periods, and has been increasing in the last couple of years. During the 2008 election period, education donated 82% of $54.7 million to the Democratic Party, with increases in Democratic support by the education group in the following years.

It is followed by, Harvard University with $709,532 and Stanford University with $618,475.

westofbust,

Are you implying the Obama can control the DOW? Or are you saying that all equities are up 60% under the magic of Obama? What else does he control? Gas Prices? They have double under Obama..what about the price of Corn? How about the cost of college tuition and healthcare? All up considerably due to the Obama?

I do hope all those thinking of protesting against the Ryan high school pep rally stay home. Give Ryan and his Lemmings the opportunity to mindlessly follow him.

Btw, had you invested in the stock market at the beginning of Obama's term, your investments would have rose 60%.

The idea that Republicans are better for the economy is a complete myth.

The Koch Brothers can't hold a candle to George Soros.

wisliady, I thought government didn't produce jobs? How can 44 state's unemployment rate be attributed to one person when we have an entire congress that can see past it's own narrow ideology to actually do anything worth while? I thought business created jobs? Business needs ONE thing, and that is certainty, whether it's healthcare costs or taxes, or anything else, and congress has done nearly everything in it's power to make sure that things are very uncertain. The Republican shrill screeching that Obama is the anti-christ is destroying this country. If you want to know what's wrong with America, you folks should take a look in the mirror.

Your link to the Think Progress is laughable.

Unemployment went up in 44 states. That's not Walker's fault. Obama failed us. All of us.

Hog......are you clued in on what Wsconsin's unemployment rate is compared to the rest of the country? Take a look at state spending and the debt/deficit Wisconsin carries as opposed to other states and you will see how ignorant your claim actually is......

Funny how Obama gets bashed for not creating jobs, doubling the unemployment rate, etc., yet Scott Walker has done NO better in the state of Wisconsin and Republicans have no issues with that! Mitt and Paul will definately create jobs. . . IN CHINA!

dtb are you aware that places are rejecting visits from Obama and Biden because they won't pay for their own security?

Anyway, Ryan wins in a Democratic district overwhelming. No more so then in 2008 in the mania of Obama. Ryan still wins because he appeals to independents.
Yada can believe whatever, just like Walker, we see the left lie to themselves where sane people roll their eyes..

This is a great and historic time for the city of Janesville. Ryan is a great guy and great politician and wins with independents and/or like I was a moderate Democrat. The left is now border wing nut left and Obama is losing ground fast.
As the rest of the country is starting to see.

I see you on here with a steady drumbeat of nonsense. First of all for some one who appears to support a party that hates taxes it seems you should be happy when some pays no taxes. Such as a local billionaire. But then I probably missed your post decrying that. Or is it all right when wealthy people escape taxes, but bad when poorer people escape them? The truth of the matter is this is latest argument of the right to distract people and get the average Americans arguing among themselves while we continue to listen to the failed policies of the right. We have been playing the trickle down game for 30 yrs. That is how we got here folks. Very few people pay no taxes. That is just a bald faced lie. Property tax, even if you rent, sales tax, gas tax, social security, etc. So enough of 50% of people pay no taxes!

Many people in Janesville and all over the United States detest Obama policies.

Obama’s Gotta Go
"Unemployment was supposed to be 6 percent by now. It has averaged 8.2 percent this year so far. Meanwhile real median annual household income has dropped more than 5 percent since June 2009. Nearly 110 million individuals received a welfare benefit in 2011, mostly Medicaid or food stamps.

Welcome to Obama’s America: nearly half the population is not represented on a taxable return—almost exactly the same proportion that lives in a household where at least one member receives some type of government benefit. We are becoming the 50–50 nation—half of us paying the taxes, the other half receiving the benefits."

HARDTOBELIEVE - You are correct about many people not liking Ryan outside of Janesville. The same can also hold true for those that dislike his policies / politics IN Janesville. Take some time and read the NEWSWEEK story - "War On The Weak" - AYN RAND is THE hero of Paul Ryan. The more you know about Ayn Rand and her writings should lead you to the conclusion that her ideas are off the wall nuts.

Quit complaining about the cost of this event. I certainly don't support Ryan's policies, but this is the cost we pay for living in a civilized society. This protection would be provided, protestors or not. You people that are complaining are just being petty.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

I was disproving YOUR statement.

"Most Presidential candidates get a 5 point increase when they announce their VP candidate. Mitt only got 1.5."

Wislady: I thought this was 2012. Stay in the present. I just hope the righties are prepared for the loss in this years election when Obama wins again. Polls even show Obama ahead even in swing states like Wisconsin. Seems like everyone on these blogs are psychics. Even me. :)

Poll: Obama lost support on Biden pick in 2008

"In 2008, Obama saw 46 percent support among registered voters which dropped 2 percentage points — to 44 percent — after he chose Biden as his running mate."

http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/15/poll-o...

I guess that makes Romney's bounce look good, compared to the drop Obama's VP choice caused.

I was at a conference in Milwaukee this past week and when I mentioned I was from Janesville, home of VP candidate Ryan, I got a few boos and eye rolling. Outside of Janesville, Ryan is not that well liked. Polls show it. Most Presidential candidates get a 5 point increase when they announce their VP candidate. Mitt only got 1.5. Makes you wonder....

ertech,
How can someone be considered a responsible fiscal conservative when they supported the Bush budgets?
.
whz_bng,
How quickly you forget the Summer of 2010? The Summer of HATE when the Republican repeatedly interrupted and protested events held by democrats.
.
BTW, I support protesters on both sides. The COST of the First Amendment is WORTH EVERY PENNY!

What did it cost when Obama came to talk at GM?

Nothing scheduled? It is a teacher work day. Would hate to battle that traffic and media while trying to work.

wleong, police were needed because of the sorry $$ protestors that show up to most of the events. Do proteststors try to disrupt the Dems, NO. Romney and Ryan riding in on a hurricane and taking the country by storm.

The Romney campaign should have to pick up the tab for police.

Good luck to Congressman Ryan. This country is in great need of a decent, honorable and fiscally responsible leader!!! Go Romney and Ryan!!!

When Romney appeared at Monterey Mills in June, he was accompanied by Gov. Scott Walker and Ryan. That event drew about 1,200 spectators.

Janesville assigned 45 officers to the event at a cost to the city of about $18,229, excluding administrative time related to the event, City Manager Eric Levitt said.

So, when City of Janesville taxes go up again....don't complain about it! (1200 supporters....45 local police officers at an EXTRA cost of $18,229 to Janesville taxpayers....hmmm... plus all those recent Ryan "talking" sessions where he needed local police security). I'm sure the taxpayers just love picking up this tab!

Will he be chatting about how his views are the exact same as Todd Akins?
Will he be talking about how he voted for the stimulus and is now railing against it but wanted money from it?
Will he be blaming the Pres. for jobs when on his watch - and in his district - thousands of jobs were lost?
Or last, will he be warnning us of the financial cliff that he was a part of the House in creating?

Yes, the send off will be interesting.

Go Ryan, you and Mitt are exactly what America needs. Janesville is proud to have you as our congressman and will be even prouder to have you as our VP in Washington. I went to your first Rally before Mitt annouced you as his VP and I also went to your rally at the Republican Party of Rock County with the bus and Ron Johnson you are the man to get the job done!

Hope they pray in there.
I'd love to see the liberal media reporting on the event have a coronary.
