Mitt Romney, based on just on his taxable income of 13 million, earned $52,700 PER DAYin 2011...

when he woke up each morning!

Now I don't mind that so much....

but when he dares call 47% of Americans moochers,
when the average family income is $45,000 PER YEAR....
and he appears appalled that folks expect something like food when the
economy was taken over the cliff by policies he supports,
I get mad all over again! Grrrrrr!

(Note: Those stats were spoken about on a talk show tonight)

Hey Mitt....you wish it will just be 47% who will vote for Obama!

But in reality 53% of voters cast their last Presidential vote for Barack Obama!..
The 47% was not based on any actual election, just wishful thinking!

it will be MORE than 47%! Remember that, cause we will!

Just fact checking!

How many times and for how long have we been told "It will be a close election"?

Why have "they" known all along what no one should really know...not for this long?

Cause if I remember it correctly, we were also told by the media that the Republicans would win the 2010 elections
for at least a year before those elections happened! So how did they also know this so far in advance?

I'm just curious about these things and therefore I'm simply asking why it appears that the media seem to know well the results of American elections so far ahead of the time they happen, and yet the same media couldn't see the Financial Collapse of these United States till it happened? Or know that on 9/11/01, we would be attacked on our own soil? Why do they know with certainty election information, but nothing else?

Here's a small sample of the long time consistency of the Media's reporting on these upcoming "close" elections:

TV Stations To Reap 2012 Election Windfall
By DAVID LIEBERMAN, Executive Editor | Sunday June 26, 2011 @ 4:35pm EDT

I know that you really kind of know this.

So please, why do we allow the media to get away with this obvious conflict of interest,
and is there anything that can be done about it? Shouldn't we be asking these questions
of them? Shouldn't we be holding them accountable in some way?

Further point is that the media continues to report on the horse race, but yet they fail to report
on the actual substance of the issues. The MTP interview today was a prime example of their failure
to inform us in anyway.

I challenge us to get together and to discuss what we could possibly do to call our this obvious media manipulation if anything!
You see, our lives really does depend on whether we will be passive, or whether we will work at what might consider impossible;
Keeping the media accountable to serve us rather than to destroy us for their own benefit!

MTP today - Was it just my imagination????

Frankly, I didn't want to watch.....and I turned off the MTP interview with candidate Robme today.....but later this morning, nothing was on, and so I turned to MSNBC (which replayed the interview that I hadn't wanted to see).....and watched what must have been the last 5 minutes of the MTP interview after all.

So I just want to know, was it just me, or did Gregory not allow Robme to actually answer questions? And it always seemed to come just when it appeared that Robme might give us a specific? Plus, I heard absolutely no follow up common sense questions from Gregory, even though I was asking them to the television, and instead Gregory steered the Robme candidate to other subjects?

Examples:

1. Robme appeared to be about to give 2 specifics to the issue of his policies on the economy.....
as he said, "there are two things that I would do....one is to.....", and just then, Gregory interrupts him to make his own statement, and then asked another question, leaving Robme never to state what he'd do.

2. Gregory never asked Robme the simple question of "how would you do it" when Robme talked about "growing the economy and creating jobs".

3. Gregory never challenged Robme when Robme stated that he would balance the budget by the end of his 2nd term.
I mean......Robme wants to deny Pres. Obama a 2nd term because somehow Obama didn't get everything done that Robme believes he should have, but somehow, it's ok for Robme to say that he, about himself, he would need a 2nd term to get the budget balanced? WTF? Gregory didn't challenge that obvious one either!

In fact, Gregory didn't follow up on much of anything at all!

I came away from the interview that I saw (the last 5 minutes or so) believing that the whole thing had been rehearsed and that the interview was never meant to do anything other than to "repair" Robme's fucked up campaign to date. I especially loved how Gregory said to Robme...."what are the headlines that will be read about this Interview that turned around the election?&quot paraphrasing)....like Gregory's show is soooo fucking important!

That interview was a big self serving exercises in an attempt to help Robme! It was soooo obvious to me. Was it to you (if you watched it)?

Sooo Obamacare will be repealed, and Pre-existing Condition Seniors will be given a Voucher/Coupon?

To go and buy insurance on the open Market? So what if insurance Companies don't want to insure these folks....
considering that without Obamacare in place, denying them coverage would be quite alright?

Does this sound as much of a nightmare Death Panel situation as could be, or is it just me?
