Before I start my rant, is this pic too funny? Or pathetic? These losers in the media are clueless dolts. And how the hell could the Marxist’s enabler’s allow this? Are they that stupid?

But I digress…

This…Is what I’ve been saying here for months. Although nothing is guaranteed, I’ve made numerous bets at $100 each ($800 so far) that Romney will win in November, and I believe rather easily, IMO, by 5-10 points and by about 100 electoral votes.

And that’s before the Marxist occupying the White House “evolved” (according to the MSF’inM when libs change their position, they “evolve”, when conservatives do, they flip-flop) and said he supports gay marriage.

Now I see a larger victory for Romney.

The Marxist made a major miscalculation there, but that’s what happens when you think you’re so much damn smarter than everyone else, and try to appeal to a very small minority of voters.

When the Marxist said middle-America clings to their guns, bibles, and religion, at least he had the brains to figure out he was preaching to the choir, and no one else would hear it.

But saying he supports gay marriage on national TV? I don’t care if you’re vehemently for it, at least have the IQ to realize that if you spout it on TV, you’re going to pay a price, especially if you’re already an unpopular president.

Mainstream Americans don’t believe in that crap. It might sell to the worthless swine such as George Looney in Hollywood, but to most Americans- whites, blacks and hispanics, we normal people still have traditional values, and one of those is that marriage is between a man and a woman. Sorry degenerates…

The gay marriage issue sells well in the usual lands of lib degenerates- L.A., NYC, San Francisco, etc, but in middle America, where normal people live, it’s a losing issue.

The Marxist put 4-5 states into play that he would most likely have won by that idiotic statement.

And most black clerics rebuked him. Like one outraged black minister said, the percentage of blacks who vote for the Marxist might not change, but quite a few will just not vote at all.

We know that the Marxist fudged it because the Marxist’s brain-dead mouthpieces are complaining about how unfair a poll from the uber-liberal Obama-loving New York Slimes and See B.S. News is, because it shows the Marxist losing even the women’s vote to Romney, even though the NY Slimes over-sampled dimocrats by 6%. So as usual, the MSF’inM tried to rig the poll, and their messiah still lost. They’re worried. Very worried. I love it.

DECKER: Obama’s inevitable shellacking

This president has almost no hope for re-election

Just about every objective indicator foreshadows a huge re-election defeat for President Obama. With every day that passes, Mr. Obama looks more like a loser.

That’s because there is doom and gloom everywhere you look. When government mathematical fudging is stripped away, unemployment is stuck over 10 percent. Economic growth is practically nonexistent and promises to slide downhill even more in the coming months with Europe and its banks rapidly collapsing. Due to Mr. Obama’s out-of-control deficit spending, the national debt is at a heart-stopping $15.7 trillion, which erases a whole year of economic output by our entire country. With the Supreme Court poised to strike down Obamacare, his only signature legislative achievement, the president will have nothing to show for four years in office other than record misery.

Polls give a glimpse of the shellacking to come in November. Recent surveys have pegged Republican candidate Mitt’s Romney’s lead over Mr. Obama as high as 7 percent, with the elephant’s advantage among crucial independents as high as 10 points. Perhaps most ominous of all for the incumbent is Mr. Romney’s new lead among women. This support is not as shocking as it first sounds. The tired narrative about women voting in mass for Democrats who support abortion is only partially true and unfairly lumps all women together. In fact, the GOP traditionally does well with married women and those who go to church regularly, which is a big chunk of that demographic group. When the voting bloc is diced up by sex, Democrats basically only win minorities and those clinging to issues such as abortion and hopes for federally subsidized birth control. Aside from liberal extremists, most women vote on the economy and bread-and-butter issues, which is why Mr. Romney now leads among all women by 2 points.

According to Rasmussen Reports, Republicans are up by 7 points in generic congressional balloting, which means “45 percent of likely U.S. voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s congressional race if the election were held today, while 38 percent would choose the Democrat instead.” This dynamic promises big gains for Republicans on Capitol Hill who aim to build on their huge 2010 wins. In the midterm two years ago, the GOP picked up six Senate seats and 63 seats and the majority in the House of Representatives.

Mr. Obama’s reaction to his plummeting prospects is to claim there’s a media conspiracy against him. This week, his deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter complained “the methodology was significantly biased” in a CBS/New York Times poll that reported 67 percent of Americans believe Mr. Obama’s support for homosexual “marriage” is for political advantage and not because it’s the right thing to do. That’s right, the Obama campaign claims the very liberal New York Times is skewing data to hurt the president. The truth is, kneejerk media backing is Barack’s strongest campaign weapon, but at this point, even that probably can’t save him.

The ignorance of leftists: Hannity rips occutard fleabagger “leader” to shreds

This is the kind of pathetic loser that another loser we all know (and despise), a failed blogger who is relentlessly mocked and ridiculed by both his former allies on the right, and his supposed “friends” on the loser left, now enthusiastically supports.

You know him. He runs a pathetic blog full of nothing but pathetic people like this worthless POS, whom Sean Hannity annihilated a couple nights ago.

This video is about ten minutes long, and it showcases the utter stupidity spouted from the piehole of this leftist dolt, who expects everything to be given to him, and demands a job with a starting salary of $80k to $100k a year, even though the moron has zero experience at anything other than being a parasite in training, and who expects everything to be given to him without having to work for it, by having the government take it from those of us who do work, and given to him. How pathetic.

In other words, an Obama supporter.

This worthless POS is typical of whom the failed blogger has chosen to align himself with a since parting ways with normal Americans. What worthless losers they both are.

But at least this occutard “leader” is relatively young and might possibly grow up and realize he was wrong in so many ways. Ah, but the other loser…

The other loser is an almost 60 year old unemployed washed-up musician and failed programmer with Cheetos™ spittle dripping down his numerous chins, who still has delusions of grandeur, and actually thinks he’s still relevant, when just about everyone laughs at the fool, Twitter postings be damned.

Obama’s Epic Green Fail, And How He Knowingly Gave Away Billions Of Our $$$ For Campaign Donations

What needs to be investigated is how many of these loser companies were/are major donors to the Marxist occupying the White House’s 2008 election and 2012 re-election campaign.

I’d bet the vast majority were/are. It’s a quid pro quo using our money as payback to his biggest donors, taxpayers be damned.

Here’s a partial list of the “green” companies, given billions of our tax dollars by the Obama regime, that were wasted and went mainly to company executives, for this non-existent “green” job scam, in exchange for campaign contributions. And right after getting the money, they filed for bankruptcy, or bankruptcy protection.

This is just one of many shenanigans that Romney needs to drive home to voters; the billions of our tax dollars, given to companies that the Obama regime knew damn well would fail, as a payback for donations to Obama’s campaigns.

SunPower, after receiving $1.5 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs.

First Solar, after receiving $1.46 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs.

Solyndra, after receiving $535 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Ener1, after receiving $118.5 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Evergreen Solar, after receiving millions of dollars from the state of Massachusetts, filed for bankruptcy protection.

SpectraWatt, backed by Intel and Goldman Sachs, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Beacon Power, after receiving $43 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Abound Solar, after receiving $400 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Amonix, after receiving $5.9 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Babcock & Brown (an Australian company), after receiving $178 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

A123 Systems, after receiving $279 million from DOE, shipped some bad batteries and is barely operating. It cut jobs.

Solar Trust for America, after receiving a $2.1-billion loan guarantee from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

Nevada Geothermal, after receiving $98.5 million from DOE, warns of potential defaults in new SEC filings.

And this is just a partial list. Can Obama and the DOE pick ’em, or what?

The American Thinker has a great piece that just came out this morning about all these taxpayer dollars that were given to campaign contributors after Obama said that taxpayer money would not be doled out to political friends.

It just goes to prove what we all know: You know how you can tell when Obama’s lying? His lips are moving.

BTW, when I saw this was written by Warren Beatty, I said, no, it can’t be! That’s guy’s a washed-up Hollywood libturd imbecile! I was right. It’s not “that” Warren Beatty.

Obama’s Epic Green Fail

By Warren Beatty

As we get into the campaign season (has Obama ever left it?), some recollections of what President Barack Hussein Obama said and has done (courtesy of Peter Schweizer and Ashe Schow) are both humorous and instructive. Humorous because you have to laugh at what Obama has said and done to keep from crying. Instructive because this is what we can expect from Obama (and more) if he gets re-elected.

Peter Schweizer, in his book Throw Them All Out, told us that Obama said that taxpayer money would not be doled out to political friends. “Decisions about how Recovery Act dollars are spent will be based on the merit,” Obama said, referring to the 2009 stimulus. “Let me repeat that: decisions about how recovery money will be spent will be based on the merits. They will not be made as a way of doing favors for lobbyists.”

I guess the word “lobbyists” provides Obama with an “out” since none of the CEOs of the green energy companies he backed are registered as lobbyists. Just like with the last Democrat president this country had, every word uttered must carefully be parsed. But then, I don’t know the meaning of the word “is.”

Anyway, Obama was emphatic about how recovery money was to be spent. But…as Schweizer says, the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program and the 1603 Grant Program funneled billions of dollars to alternative-fuel and green-power companies. The loan guarantees and grants were earmarked for green energy projects, so it is not surprising to learn that these companies were run by liberals. And guess what! Eighty percent of the Department of Energy (DOE)’s green loans, loan guarantees, and grants went to Obama backers. As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise.”

Schweizer wrote, “… a large proportion of the winners [companies receiving loans, loan guarantees, and grants] were companies with Obama-campaign connections. At least 10 members of Obama’s finance committee and more than a dozen of his campaign bundlers were big winners in getting your money. At the same time, several politicians who supported Obama managed to strike gold by launching alternative-energy companies and obtaining grants.” How much? Schweizer continues, “In the 1705 government-backed-loan program, $16.4 billion of the $20.5 billion in loans granted as of September 15 [2011] went to companies either run by or primarily owned by Obama financial backers.”

Schweizer further wrote, “The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has been highly critical of the way guaranteed loans and grants were doled out by the DOE, complaining that the process appears ‘arbitrary’ and lacks transparency. In March 2011, for example, the GAO examined the first 18 loans that were approved and found that none were properly documented. It also noted that officials ‘did not always record the results of analysis’ of these applications. A loan program for electric cars, for example, ‘lacks performance measures.’ No notes were kept during the review process, so it is difficult to determine how loan decisions were made.” (Author’s note: based on evidence, we know how loan decisions were made!)

Schweizer concludes, “DOE Inspector General Gregory Friedman chastised the alternative-energy loan and grant programs for their absence of ‘sufficient transparency and accountability.’ He testified that contracts have been steered to ‘friends and family.'”

……

Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), said, “If projects like this [speaking about Nevada Geothermal] did not contain a certain level of risk, alongside their enormous potential for creating jobs and generating clean energy, there would be no need for the bipartisan loan guarantee program.”

Creating jobs? Generating clean energy? How are these projects creating and generating in light of all the bankruptcies and reorganizations? Obama promised in 2008 that a $150-billion investment would generate 5 million jobs over 10 years. The White House said in November 2010 that its clean-energy efforts had generated work for 225,000 people. Let’s see. Obama promised 5 million jobs, and as of 2010, 225,000 had been created. He has some work to do if he wants to keep that jobs promise.

For comparison, “Big Oil” has added 75,000 jobs since Obama took office in 2009, while the wind industry has lost 10,000 jobs since 2009.

Obama supporters say that he over-promised on the jobs front and worry that a backlash could undermine support for his clean-energy policies. Duh! You think?

And let’s not forget Spain, the model for Obama’s clean-energy policies. Spain announced on April 7, 2012 that they would halt all new renewable energy and co-generation projects.

Because green energy companies can no longer or coud not ever attract enough willing investors, Obama and like-minded politicians force the rest of us to “invest” (via subsidies) in them, so we can “Win The Future.” Will Obama’s next green energy initiative be named his “Five Year Plan”?

This is a special thread dedicated to a prominent blogger who took the lefties’ bullcrap meme (Romney Abuses Animals) and turned it on it’s head with the cheap and easy revelation that Our Dear Leader Declared That He ATE A Dog. Awesome, funny and political don’t always jive, but Treacher pulled it off with pure irreverent snark.
