Mitt Romney Isn't Just Pro-Life. He Firmly Believes Life Begins At Incorporation.
Etch-A-Sketchy Candidate Mitt Romney is unshakable in his faith...
His faith that "Life Begins at Incorporation".
From Actually.org
(*Please check 'em out.) Truth Matters = They Rock.
For both your viewing pleasure and hungry mind...
May I present this quick, witty video in which Sarah Silverman and Lizz Winstead discuss "people".
Or, as they're better known by Mitt Romney: “corporations” and "banks".
Fraud And Deception Raise Red Flags Just Weeks Prior To Election
The Republican Party (and conservatives, in general) find themselves on the wrong side of the demographics of this country and on the wrong side of the issues...
So - What's a bunch of excruciatingly-sore losers to do?
Whaddya think?...
They Cheat.
The Grand Ol' Party has been working overtime to develop effective ways of cheating their seat on the wrong side of reality at the state level by implementing pointless and partisan-based voter ID laws, cutting early voting - in historically Democratic counties, voter suppression, voter intimidation, voter misinformation, etc.
And, even in cases when a judge has overruled their shameful shenanigans it's been revealed that, in numerous instances, these GOP-led states still don't bother to change relevant - and now incorrect - information on their websites offering voter information, remove taxpayer-financed billboards with incorrect information or overt threats (usually placed in minority and/or poorer neighborhoods).
Such behavior- by government officials/"public servants", no less - is not only shameful, disgusting and un-American... it's participants should be actively prosecuted.

Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R.TN) Is Pro-Life*. *Except When His Adultery Results In A Pregnancy...
Republican Congressman Scott DesJarlais (TN) has been and continues to declare himself utterly pro-life and a staunch opponent of abortion*.
*Except when the pregnant woman involved is a former patient of Dr. DesJarlais with whom he had an illicit, extramarital affair, which resulted in the woman becoming pregnant and when her making the choice to have the baby would threaten Congressman DesJarlais's marriage and endanger the likelihood of his being able to hold onto his Congressional seat.
Believe it or not, Congressman DesJarlais recorded a telephone conversation with the "other woman" in which he encouraged her to terminate the pregnancy.
*What's really surprising is that this Republican Congressman's illicit affair wasn't with another man...

GOP Job Creators: "Vote For Romney... Or You're Fired."
Announcement made by various Republican-Supporting 'Job Creators' to their employees: "Vote For Romney - Or You're Fired."
From Murray Energy (Ohio) to employees:
"Dear Employee: We have invested our full support behind Mitt Romney for President. And, as your employer, we think that you should vote for him, too... because, if Barack Obama gets re-elected and my corporate and/or personal income taxes get increased, I'll have no choice but to start firing employees." (sic)
I kid you not. This is for real.
In another case, it was discovered that supervisory workers employed at Suarez (Ohio) each "happened" to donate anywhere from $5,000 (individuals) up to $20,000 (couples) to either Josh Mandel's (R. OH, trying to unseat Sherrod Brown) or Jim Renacci's (R.OH) campaigns and they refused to talk about it. Note: These aren't wealthy people.
Thankfully, the FBI is investigating.
And - under pressure - the two candidates returned the money.

Hardball: McCaskill Fights For Missouri And Her Senate Seat
Knowledge IS Power. Actions Do Speak Louder Than Words.
With these thoughts in mind, I offer the following for your thoughtful consideration:
The Congressional voting record of one Rep. Todd "legitimate rape" Akin (R. MO):
1.) Akin voted *Against* the child nutrition program.
2.) Akin voted *Against* creating a national sex-offender registry.
3.) Akin voted *Against* creating The Center For Missing And Exploited Children.
I mention these facts as evidence that - as Akin's own words have revealed - not only is he unapologetic and militantly-ignorant regarding topics such as: human biology; human reproduction and the definition of (let alone care about/believe in the trauma, violation and devastation of) "rape". A review of his Congressional voting record indicates he clearly has a congenital callousness regarding high-priority issues such as the health, well-being and safety of America's children.
F.Y.I. All of those GOP politicians and groups that were (at the least) calling for him to withdraw from the race or (at the most) hinting about lynching the man... are now back to supporting his attempt to take Senator Claire McCaskill's (D. MO) seat. (Yuck!)

Mike Rowe's (From The Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs") Dirtiest Job, Ever!
Mike Rowe, the congenial host of The Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs", has now performed his absolute Dirtiest Job, ever...
Mike stood on the stage with GOP Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, in Ohio and talked to the working-class audience about the great value of the millions of working-class people across our nation; about providing better job-training/skill-training and about providing desperately-needed job opportunities.
Now, Rowe didn't come out and endorse Romney word-for-word, per-se.
But, Mike did say all the sorts of things that elitist, multimillionaire, "Let Detroit die..." Mitt Romney has repeatedly proven himself to be physically-incapable of saying... Let alone saying in anything resembling a sincere and believable fashion.
Funny thing is... Everything Mike spoke about, President Barack Obama has already spoken of, passionately, countless times.
Like when the President was presenting his Jobs Bills before Congress and asking for their swift approval.
Yet, each and every time, Congressional Republicans ganged up and - intentionally - blocked them from being passed into Law.
*What ever happened to "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!", Republicans? Oh? Whaddya mean that you, "... only meant you'd work for more "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" if and when Obama was no longer President?... Gee, What A**holes!)
P.S. ~ The GOP members of Congress also Killed - they did not delay nor filibuster - but K-I-L-L-E-D (as in It's D-E-A-D) the one recent Veterans' Jobs Bill that was specifically written to assist America's men and women who were returning from war to get jobs once they were home.
Shame on you, Mike Rowe.
And, now, more than ever... Shame on You, Congressional Republicans!

Secret (and Independently Verified) Video Reveals The Real Mitt Romney. Yikes!
Mitt Romney (responding to a question from the audience):
"There are 47% of people who will vote for the President... who are dependent upon government... who believe they are victims and that government has a responsibility to care for them... who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it... And that's an entitlement..."
The above is an excerpt from a video recently obtained by Mother Jones Magazine.
The words came directly from the mouth of Mitt Romney.
The video and its contents have been independently confirmed and verified as, indeed, being GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney speaking candidly at one of his exclusive, private fundraising functions.
Mitt Romney: I'm happy to say, "You, sir, are in serious T-R-O-U-B-L-E...".

Huge Victories Against GOP-Led Voter Suppression In Texas, Florida, Ohio
Did You Know...?
Over this past year, Republican-controlled legislatures of several key/swing states passed sweeping changes to how voting/voting registration is carried out in those states and which would have stripped untold thousands of Americans of their right to vote or to have their vote counted in the 2012 Presidential election.
Pretending to be patriotic, they all claimed said changes were an absolute necessity "to prevent voter fraud" in November. Sounds noble enough, right?
Only until you learn one simple fact: Actual cases of voter fraud are extremely rare.
Renders their claims unfounded and their sweeping changes utterly unnecessary. End of story, right?
No. Not if you happen to be a sane, rational and ethical person who looks at which groups of Americans' right to vote this suddenly urgent legislation would take away...
The answer is: Hundreds of thousands of Americans. And, more specifically: A disproportionate number of whom are African-American. And, all of whom were historically known to vote Democrat.
Got Actual Voter Fraud? As I said, "No." It just doesn't happen.
Got Several Cases Of Electoral Fraud Carried Out By GOP Legislatures/Leaders/Governors? Hells, yes!
Thankfully, several non-partisan, impartial Federal courts have seen clear through the flag-waving of these Republicans to the utterly unconscionable treachery behind their sweeping changes, slamming their gavels down on the GOP-led incidents of blatant voter suppression in Texas, Florida and Ohio.
Hallelujuah!
*And, still... Remain vigilant, friends.

RNC 2012 101: Government Exists To Protect The Individual Liberties Of Everyone Without A Uterus.
The GOP 2012 Platform was formally adopted yesterday. One of its planks: A Human Life Amendment to the Constitution ("Personhood") with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.
In the wake of the furor over Representative Todd Akins outrageous remarks about some magical pregnancy-prevention process which occurs during a rape, Mitt Romney now claims that he rejects the "no exceptions" part of the GOP anti-abortion platform.
When Samantha Bee (The Daily Show) asked numerous GOP conventioneers for their responses to Mitt's choice to 'go rogue' and reject the Party's absolute zero abortion plank, some of the most popular responses were:
"We live in America... A free society."; "It's up to every human being to decide what's best for them."; "Who are we to tell someone how they should act?"; "It's hard to make that decision unless you're the one in that situation."; "It's not for me to judge." and...
"Government's purpose is to protect your individual liberties." *
* Except and Unless * that 'individual liberty' is the one which guarantees each and every American woman's right to choose what happens to her own body.
Enjoy this clip from last night's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (with TDS Correspondent Samantha Bee reporting from the RNC in Tampa, FL.):

Experts: "Non-Human Consciousness Exists!" (Well, Duh!)
Have you ever considered the consciousness - or unconsciousness - of your dog?
Last month, 25 of the world's leading scientists gathered together with the express purpose of examining and discussing a variety of accumulated scientific evidence on the subject of animal consciousness and they reached a unanimous decision:
"Animals - specifically mammals and birds - are, in fact, conscious beings."
While some of you may be inclined towards filing this remarkable and truly newsworthy event under the category of "Believe It Or Not"... Not yours truly.
Despite having grown up in a world which had all-too eagerly swallowed/followed/clung to the long-standing tradition/practice of wantonly using/abusing non-human Earthlings however they wanted (with or without a reason)... It wasn't long after achieving awareness of my own consciousness that I reached a conclusion on this very topic.
And - for me - from that moment right on up to this day... this (now scientifically-proven/accepted) "discovery" was a foregone conclusion.
And, as such, I'd filed it under the undeniably apropos category of "Well, Duh!".
Check out the story/discovery and the owners of the brilliant minds who were involved - here:

RNC Ostracizes Todd Akin For His Extremist Views (Which are identical to the RNC's)
Reporter: "Should it be legal for a woman to get an abortion if she's been raped?"
Paul Ryan: "I'm very proud of my pro-life record and I've always adopted the position that the method of conception doesn't change the definition of life."
In other words, regarding the situation in which a rape survivor becomes pregnant, Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan's life-long, doggedly-pursued position is utterly identical to that of Sharon Engle ("If life gives you a lemon (you become pregnant after being raped) then you should make lemonade.") and it's identical to that of the strategically-scapegoated, infamous and utterly clueless Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO).
Don't be fooled by Mr. Ryan's "Gee, shucks. Y'all have nothing to fear. I'm not the one who is running for President. Mitt Romney is."
That may be true, but Paul Ryan is no innocuous bystander/spectator/passer-by. He's running for Vice President. And, Vice President is a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
*Remember Sarah Palin's turn as GOP VP nominee in 2008? (Of course you do.) And, do you remember the moment when that particularly gut-wrenching, nightmare-inducing thought finally hit you that... IF John McCain were elected President... And, IF he were to die suddenly or become incapacitated... THEN... (OMFG!) Sarah Palin would take his place as... President.
It's deja vu again with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
One shudders to think.

21st Century Back-Alley Abortions: Dangerous Pharmaceuticals. Gee Thanks, Texas!
Under extremist, right-wing (nut) Republican control, Texas gutted funding to family-planning services statewide - an action which affects tens of thousands of American women.
Being Texas, of course they didn't stop there. They also passed a law which forces women seeking termination of a pregnancy to undergo medically-unnecessary ultrasound procedures. (What's the big deal. Just close your eyes, right?)
So... Have the draconian actions of the (*mostly male) Texas GOP lawmakers brought an end to abortion?
No. Of course not!
Result: The 21st Century's coat-hanger/back-alley abortions comes in the form of a pharmaceutical drug. Readily available from unregulated pharmacies in Mexico. Without a prescription or instructions, thank you very much.
Can you say "massive hemorrhaging", boys and girls?
Wow! This is much better than undergoing a legal, medical procedure performed by a licensed physician in a sterile, well-equipped, staffed hospital room.
Gee... Thanks, Texas!

Boehner Exhorts For "Jobs!" From Pulpit. House GOP Pushes For... You Guessed It: "Abortion"
House Speaker (and textbook failure) John Boehner ranted and railed during a closed House GOP-members only meeting on Thursday about (you guessed it): "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!", during which he exhorted that creating jobs for out-of-work Americans is every Congressional Republicans' #1 Priority. He told his minions that they must pass job-creating bills/legislation.
So (of course), immediately following Boehner's fiery, four-letter-word-sprinkled "We are all about Jobs!" sermon, those same-House Republicans hurriedly-lollygagged back to work so that they could put their collective laser-focus on what always has been and still is every House Republican's 1st Order Of Business: "Banning Abortion".
(*If you guessed "Jobs" - :(- you haven't been paying attention.)
Yep, immediately after Boehner's big (and-not-so-secret) secret "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!, Now!" meeting - House Republicans' unanimous First Order Of Business was (drum roll. please)...
Fast-tracking and voting (unsuccessfully) on yet another Republican-sponsored bill ban a woman's right to reproductive choice/abortion.
*If you guessed "abortion", you get a *Star*!
(Hurray, I got a *Star*!)
... like I said, "Textbook Failure".

Not only that ~ this American's courtroom-wrangling has led to the appearance of a number brilliant rays of Hope appearing out yonder in the vast, toxic, noxious wasteland that is unfettered, untraceable corporate political-influence and corruption which has been like a festering abscess on our democratic political process since the SCOTUS's much-reviled "citizens' united" decision.

Chris Rock, Jay-Z On Marriage Equality: "It's the right thing to do."
During his recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Chris Rock expressed his support for President Obama's recent declaration on marriage equality: "It shows you how screwed up the world is. A man says, 'Hey, I think gay people should be treated as everyone else.'... CONTROVERSY!". Then, a couple days later...
Hip-Hop legend JayZ (Mr. Beyonce Knowles) said, "You love who you love... It's no different than discriminating against Blacks. It (marriage equality)'s the right thing to do... whether it costs 'em votes or not. It's about people. I think it's the right thing to do ~ as a human being."
(*Insert deafening roar and thunderous applause signaling majority approval - here.)
You Do The Right Thing Because It Is The Right Thing To Do. Period.
It's not some trick to be pulled out to win a popularity contest, a reward or a political office.
It's Something You Do Every Day... Regardless of whether doing so is popular or not.

On The Road With Mitt: Fiction vs Fact
On The Road With Mitt Romney and his Campaign (*to Fail) Trail:
He won't talk about his super anti-gayness; or his intentions to limit/prohibit access to contraception; or about ending American women's Constitutionally-Protected Freedom Of Choice; or any other Issues O' The Day. What is Mitt miffed about? Over-regulation. Mitt's claim is that President Obama has doubled the number of Federal regulations/regulators and that hurts our economy/business. That's it. That's the centerpiece of Mitt's campaign.
Of course there are countless things to take issue with with a candidate who refuses to discuss the many topical issues of the day. The bigger problem for Mitt is: The single issue he repeatedly campaigns on is just another lie. Official documentation shows that G.W. Bush initiated more regulations than President Obama.
In other words: President Obama has reduced regulations. Still, Mitt keeps claiming the opposite. It's a Lie.
Mr. Romney: Please repeat after me: "Repeating a Lie Doesn't Make It True." "Repeating a Lie Doesn't Make It True." "Repeating a Lie Doesn't Make It True". ....
