Tax the Rich? Even Morgan Stanley Agrees

Morgan Stanley

Perhaps these banks are finally realizing that the more you decimate the middle class, the fewer customers you’re going to have who have need of your more than dubious “services.” That 1% is a pretty small group and you can only cannibalize it for so long before it starts to eat away at itself. It’s like inbreeding. Do it enough times, and pretty soon you’re going to have a child with an arm growing out of its forehead.

Jon Kyl: No More Help for the Unemployed, Unless…

Jon Kyl_Planned Parenthood lies

I honestly don’t know how people like Kyl sleep at night, but then I remember Kyl is simply one liar among many, who has no qualms in misleading his so-called constituents with blatant out-and-out lies – that are entered into the Congressional record, no less.

What a joke! The spot is narrated by Newt, features the moving soundtrack from the movie “Rudy,” and includes stock footage of farms, rural America, and more of the same bullshit that we’ve come to expect from the right-wing.

Romney Operative: We are in ‘the propaganda business’

Mitt Romney_Foreclosure

The only consistent element in Mitt Romney’s entire political career is his willingness to say whatever he thinks he needs to say in order to win. He believes elections serve one purpose: to give him the opportunity to gain power. Given that mindset, of course he has a campaign team that believes honesty is irrelevant to political communication.

Mittstant Replay: Romney Grilled over Fox News Interview Lies (VIDEO)

Mittstant Replay_Mitt Romney unglued

Poor Mittens. He can remain calm and cool as long as no one is calling for accountability. The moment the spotlight turns on Romney to answer for his record, he sweats and becomes extremely argumentative and unpredictable.

GOP presidential hopefuls continue to commit political cannibalism by brutally devouring one another on their own flip-flops and crimes against American voters, picking away at one another long before the eventual nominee even faces Barack Obama in a general contest.

Watch: NH Voters Slam Romney over ‘Deceptive’ Obama Ad (VIDEO)

Mitt Romney_advertisement

The basic takeaway is captured in the video’s title: that Romney is a dishonest fraud and that if he approves an ad like this, then there’s no reason to trust a single word he says. The only other thing I’d add: despite pretending to be a frontrunner, Romney’s decision to air such an obvious lie feels like a Hail Mary. In other words, he’s desperate.

Newt Gingrich Mocks President Obama (VIDEO)

Newt mocks Obama

Gingrich pokes fun and mocks Obama for his use of a teleprompter, suggesting that without one, the president would be as clueless and bumbling as Gingrich pokes fun and mocks Obama for his use of a teleprompter, suggesting that without one, the president would be as clueless and bumbling as George W. Bush. As if that were possible. The corrupt former Speaker of the House also continues with his wishful thinking that he will be the one to debate Obama in the 2012 general election.
