her home city newspaper endorses her opponent. Love this.

Reminds me of Willard Mitt Romney being roundly rejected - sm

by all the states where he called home, including Michigan (birthplace), California (home), New Hampshire (home), and his Governorship's home state of Massachusetts, who really knew him best, approximately 61% for Obama and only 38% for Romney, a 23% difference and the second largest loss by a presidential candidate in their own home state.

Sometimes the people that know you best speak loud and clear.

Wendy's paper endorsed Mittens, too. - nm

Romney ran quite an extremely dirty campaign - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
through his surrogates on the conservative news channels; you know, the Karl Roves and their ilk. Literally every show on the conservative network played uninterrupted feigned "outrage" about the Benghazi tragedy every day of the last 2 months of the campaign. They repeatedly used code words like "cover-up" and "Watergate" like they were throwing red meat to a hungry pack of wolves. When the talking heads and Rovian surrogates weren't screaming Benghazi hysteria, they were bloviating about how the mainstream media was not following their lead and accusing other media along with the White House of engaging in a pro-Obama cover-up.

The politicization and taking advantage of a national tragedy that Romney had promised in his 47% speech was thereby delivered. What's not dirty about the GOP, Karl Rove, and surrogates of the dog and pony show from the extreme right wing 24/7/365 where they never stop campaigning against the president, even when they've lost the election?

Trust me, dear, the outrage over Benghazi is not - "feigned." Neither are the murders a la

Trust me, there are entertainers that pose as news anchors. - I am not your "dear"

If the entertainers that pose as news anchors on the conservative news network were really outraged at the death of the 4 Americans versus politicizing the tragedy halfway around the world, we'd have probably seen just a little teeny tiny bit or at least a smidgen of that outrage displayed at the almost 3,000 Americans that were killed right here in the good old US of A on our own continent.

For those people out there that think news anchors aren't paid to perform a particular script, believe me when I tell you that they are. They're called talking points, and they're actually written down on paper and are rehearsed and repeated ad nauseam and over and over and over.... because that's how propaganda works.

Gallup poll June 2014: 57% paid little or no attention to - dog and pony hearings

Despite GOP's best efforts to turn this garish fundraising scheme into a national scandal.

From September 11, 2012 until May 2014, at taxpayer expense, I might add, there have been

9 separate House and Senate committee investigations
17 hearings
50 briefings
25 transcribed interviews
8 subpoenas
More than 25,000 pages reviewed
6 congressional reports released

Every step of the way, Fox circus barkers have donned their megaphones, clutched their chests, jumped up and down, shouted from the highest hills across the land their most bitter moral outrage. It has yielded a great big collective "Oh, well" from the majority polled and exposed Tpubs for the scandal mongers they are, who throughout the process have been willing to exploit the embassy attack and deaths for political gain. They have to live with that. The rest of us have moved on a long time ago.

Every one of which the WH stonewalled. Useless - me

Like sexist attack ads after she announced her camp outraised - Greg Abbott's

[ In Reply To ..]
by the end of 2013? Here. Take a sniff: GOPs tried to minimize the five years she spent as a single parent after separating from her first husband, living between a trailer park, her mom's house and an apartment, having to drop out of college because of money, waiting tables, working as a receptionist, working 2 jobs and bankrolling her education with scholarships and Pell Grants. Somehow they thought being merely separated and raising an infant alone didn't count as REAL single parenting until her divorce was final at age 21. When she did finally remarry and get help from her new husband, they implied she owed her success to him, and condemned her decision to commute between Harvard and Texas while her two daughters lived with their dad and she was in law school. Then they painted her as a rip-off artist who stole her education from her poor unsuspecting husband and fled as soon as she had degree in hand, despite the 10 years of marriage that passed before they separated.

In their anti-abortion harangues against her, they always fail to mention her first abortion was for a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy and the second one was for fetal Dandy Walker Syndrome, a grizzly congenital brain anomaly associated partial acephaly and malformations of the heart, face, limbs, fingers and toes. The Tpubs prefer to flaunt their tiresome self-righteous indignation using the brazen hussy/baby killer approach to support their agenda narrative.

Then there's Abbott's most recent effort accusing her of promoting legislation that benefited her business, as if no Texas legislator ever, ever did such as thing. There is no evidence to back his implication she did anything against federal or state laws and his bogus claim that her law firm is under an FBI investigation is rated mostly false by the Austin-American Statesman politifact checker. I guess he felt he had to have some kind of comeback for the truth she told about how Abbott helps his biggest, most favorite campaign donors, such as the $250,000 smackers that hospital board chairman donated before he sided in court against victims of a doctor's malpractice and millions in questionable taxpayer subsidies that landed back in donor pockets.

Um - wanna try again

O - 51.1%, R - 47.2%. This does not include the military votes that were discarded.

The military troops and veterans account for about 10% of the potential voters and they lean republican.

No wonder why their votes were discarded (i.e. not counted).

Um - No need to try again

The President of the United States is not elected by popular vote or we'd have had a President Gore instead of President Dumb as a Rock in the 2000 election.

Nobody discarded ALL the military's votes. I am a veteran retired from the military, and the vast majority of veterans or ex-military voted in the general election just like everybody else. There is nothing on my voter's registration card that identifies me as a veteran so that someone could therefore discard my vote. If you are referring to military absentee ballots not being counted in some states, the issue is moot on hand counting any absentee votes when all the votes combined voting 100% for a candidate would still not swing the outcome of the general election results so some states choose not to count them and some still do count them, as all states do not have uniform election rules. Romney lost the popular vote by approximately 5 million votes, and there were not even 5 million military members overseas casting a ballot even if 100% of them voted for Romney. Again, the president is elected by the electoral college method on a state-by-state basis, and absentee votes, military or otherwise, wouldn't have won Romney the electoral college where he received an anemic 206 votes.

As I stated in my post, Romney lost 4 of his home states that I listed and lost his declared home state and the state of his governorship Massachusetts by the huge margin that I posted of approximately 61% Obama and 38% Romney, a stunning 23% percentage point loss for Romney by the people that know him best and would never ever in a million years actually vote to make him president. So just like the loser Mitt Romney, um, no need to try again.

Thank you for posting the truth. - sm

It seems to happen all the time with the military vote. One change in election policy that I would like to see happen is to have the mail-in ballots counted first instead of last.

Absentee votes ARE counted. - sm

From longdistancevoter.org Help & Frequently Asked Questions:

8. Are absentee ballots counted?

Yes, all votes are counted, whether they're cast in-person or by absentee ballot.

It is a common misconception that absentee ballots are only counted during very tight races. This misconception stems from two things: one, absentee ballots are often counted for days after the election since many are coming from abroad; two, absentee ballots are often a small percentage of all voted ballots. Many elections have a clear winner, so the absentee ballots that are still being counted after election night don't affect the results as predicted right after the polls close. As absentee voting becomes more popular, however, an increasing number of elections are decided by absentee ballots.

You missed the point, but perhaps I wasn't clear. - sm

There have been times in the past when the absentee ballots from service members were late in arriving at their final destination. The deadline had come and gone. No concessions were made. It shouldn't be that way.

I vote absentee and the races are always called even before the absentee votes are counted. That is my second point. I admit I wasn't very clear. Sorry about that.

Some states count them first and release the figures on election day - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
along with early voting figures. I posted a link in the post you responded to so that people could reference it for information in their state and copied it below.

I think it would be great if everyone could vote that way, but all the states have so many different rules. It should be easy for all American citizens to vote, IMO, and every citizen should have their vote counted.

Greg Abbott (humongous hypocrite and special interest tool) - another Texan

[ In Reply To ..]
his home city newspaper endorses his opponent, the one in the pink sneakers. So does the Houston Chronicle. Love it.

Surprised? - Not me

[ In Reply To ..]
She's from Texas and a strong supporter of women's rights. And Texans, by and large, don't like anyone who champions for women's rights. Even Texan women mostly seem to suffer from that mental disconnect, and act against their own best interests.

So it's hardly a surprise that her home town newspaper doesn't support her. The newspaper is run by Texans, after all, who are a lot more interested in being backward and pig-headed than progressing into the 21st century.

I'm not certain why anyone would find something so obvious to be worth crowing over.

Maybe it's that "southern belle" syndrome.... - ;D

ATLANTA (AP) -- Police say a man who robbed a Wendy's at gunpoint was so upset with his haul that he twice called the fast food restaurant to complain.

The robber grabbed the drawer and ran away. Police say he later called the fast food restaurant to complain about the lack of cash. In one call h ...
