GOP convention back-up plan (sm)

Democrats give special interests a role at convention Organizers have found ways to skirt their own rules and give corporations and lobbyists a presence at the national event in September. The situation reflects President Obama's difficulties in delivering on a vow to limit the influence of money in politics. By Matea Gold, Washington Bureau 9:04 PM PDT, April 5, 2012 WASHINGTON — As a candidate in 2008, Barack Obama vowed to squelch the role of special interests in financin ...

If you miss some of the action, you can pretty much find it all at this link. They also have a live link (pretty cool). ...

Factions are warring. Some leaving because price too high $549 to attend. Palin to be paid $100,000 to be keynote speaker but denied it. Politico confirmed she was indeed being pain. Grassroots organization - my aunt fanny. I am enjoying seeing the non-elite duped again, though. ...

greet delegates dressed as giant vaginas. Real classy, folks, real classy. ...

It will be interesting to see what, if anything changes in a week or so after the convention.

Hillary is losing ground and Bernie knows it. Maybe even Hillary knows it if she is not completely delusional. Hoping Bernie, the FBI and Trump can undo her desire to be queen of US. Bernie Sanders said today he will consider the Democratic Party's convention "contested," unless his opponent Hillary Clinton gets enough pledged delegates to win nomination without super delegates. ...

- the same night as Chris Christie. I've only heard her speak once, but I liked her. Can't wait to see Chris Christie. He will deliver his usual rousing speech, I'm sure. Love that guy. ...

Romney's attempts at power grabs are ticking off everybody - tea party, state GOP leaders, and even his own delegates. Why would he need to suppress voters in his own party? Should be entertaining. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/texas-delegates-planning-floor-mutiny-over-rnc-rules-225837647.html ...

Incredibly despicable man. No wonder he was hated in Congress. ...

Ben Carson, Fiorina, Christie, Paul, Cruz, Jindal, Walker. I sure hope the Republican party comes to its senses and promotes Jeb Bush. I don't see much hope for them any other way. I suppose there might be a slight run between Walker and Bush, although I absolutely detest Walker and would rather have Bush as opposition, just in case he wins. ...

It is not about the popular vote, it is delegates. Santorum won my precinct, but Ron Paul got all the delegates. The GOP cannot do anything about it because they are all stealth. It is all completely legal and something put in place to get around vote fraud/manipulation, mob rule, advantage by the wealthy, etc. They are gaming the GOP with their owned gamed system. :) http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/01/ron-paul-s-delegate-strategy.html ...

A police officer is at the podium and asks for a moment of silence for fallen police officers. The racist democrat thugs in the audience starting chanting BLM. Also, a veteran gets up to speak and the disrespectful dems turn their backs on him. Mind you, this police officer and this veteran were speaking at a DEMOCRAT convention. They may be rethinking their political positions this morning. Okay, bring on the pooper scoopers, those always at the ready to put lipstick on a pig. ...

This is definitely not going to make the Democrats happy. ...

Yay! This is a link from Washington Times - certainly never a paper that could be considered liberal. I imagine Trumpie's antics today will bring him down more. He should be ashamed of himself. He does not know what the word sacrifice means. ...

I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels. But this has been going on a couple of months. I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot. My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that. But nothing seems to be helping. I have pain/fatigue across the area of my back right at the braline. My arms and neck feel heavy. ...

Please let me know. I would not want to miss it. I heard him saying the other day that he will be "very special" at the convention. ...

Looks like he's going to need a miracle. Didn't see anything positive tonight though, maybe tomorrow. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/obamas-popularity-dips-underwater-for-romney-a-faint-favorability-bounce/ ...

Why? I'm at the end of my rope. ...

Hope all you billionaire Trump supporters on this board are happy with his tax plan. ...

Daughter has been tallking to the Bank of America MHA (making homes affordable) program people, to lower her mortage through refinancing. Anyone know pros or cons of this? I have no experience in that department to advise her. thanks. ...

Tax plan "might increase the deficit" by trillions but it should be "short-term." Okay, sure thing. On ACA, "we have to get rid of the worst piece of legislation ever and replace it with something better." Funny how it's the worst piece of legislation ever yet their plan was a disaster. He is talking about keeping the pre-existing condition but putting them in a pool where companies can charge more for them. Wow, I didn't watch the interview but wonder if ...

In a speech Wednesday at Georgetown University, President Obama outlined his goals for reducing American energy dependence, heavily emphasizing new technology and alternative sources in addition to "safe and responsible" offshore drilling. He was quick to add that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had not been forgotten, and that "today we're working to expedite new drilling permits for companies that meet these higher standards." The president pointed to rising prices at the pump, wh ...

Firstly, I am *not* opposed to a GOP plan - and to be fair I don't have enough details about what it would and would not do (which I plan to remedy). I read the following post to get more information, but much of it is opinion - or vague -and did not explain how it is better than the current bill(s) under consideration. Let me be specific: OP: This is what I like about the GOP plan:Instead of govt insurance it reforms the system. 1. How is the "Pelosi's ...

Has anyone used a very credible debt management plan successfully? I need a nonprofit one that doesn't charge a monthly fee if at all possible or one of my largest debts won't accept their plan. Prefer something online, but not sure which ones to trust. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! ...

. . . the federal government's. If it's good enough for them . . . The NYT said Ryan has the same plan for Medicare as federal employees enjoy (published 04/18/2011). Also, Ryan wrote this: "Starting in 2022, new Medicare beneficiaries will be enrolled in the same kind of health care program that members of Congress enjoy." His op-ed about this was published in the WSJ. Sounds good to me! ...

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is proposing to eliminate Louisiana’s income and corporate taxes and pay for those cuts with increased sales taxes, the governor’s office confirmed Thursday. The governor’s office has not yet provided the details of the plan. “The bottom line is that for too long, Louisiana’s workers and small businesses have suffered from having a state tax structure that is too complex and that holds back economic prosperity,” Jindal said in a statement released by ...
