It doesn't take much to figure out why the extreme rich want their favorite son Romney in the White House. All those shady deals they want to continue doing and all at the cost of everyone else.
Well who the H is that doin the tease? Mus be Wolff. Been gone so long thot he might be dead :)
Wolff , who is Wolff ?. . . .You sick puppy. You always seem to want to put a smile on my face.
The WSJ had an article on the GOP stopping passage of the Law-of-the-Sea Treaty. http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/07/16/gop-opposition-scuttles-law-of-sea-treaty/
The more interesting part of the article was that the WSJ didn't just quote the obstructionist, but included mentioning those who are for it and why. It was refreshing to read articles that weren't just transcribers for the yellers.
We need more articles like the WSJ example in your post on this show and others to see these close votes that can only win with a party majority in all houses and the presidency as decided by the people.
Great! So does this mean we'll finally see Racheal Maddow on our local NBC channel and other MSNBC newscaster's as well?!
People are afraid that wealthy corporations and individuals are going to off shore themselves and/or renounce US citizenship and thereby take most of the US wealth abroad. Appease the wealthy with tax breaks or they are going to eat our lunch!
Also, for white males, the 'unfairness' of affirmative action in the current economy is a seething issue (no one with a mike dares speek on the issue). After all, isn't Pres. Obama in office because of affirmative action? Didn't affirmative action give then Mr. Obama a break by pushing down some more qualified white student? The more Travon Martin is in the news, Pres. Obama and all other Democrats can kiss Florida good by. (voter suppression, of course, provides the extra, needed edge).
Voter suppression is Romney's best chance at winning.
You really shouldn't advertise your ignorance! Not everyone needs to know your secret!
hey thomas, isn't it true that our (yours and mine) president is both white and black? So instead of not liking the black president, appreciate the whiter side of things. that should make you half as mad about the "affirmative action that got that 3/5 of a man into the white house. THE SOUTH SHALL RISE AGAIN!!!! Don't be an idiot, idiot. Until we realize that all Americans count, we will not regain our greatness. You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to call you stupid for it, Stupid.
Just over 45 days until Notre Dame Football airs on NBC. Go Fighting Irish!!!!
Just seemed like more fun than arguing about politics tonight.
I was asked this weekend, on the This Week in God blog, "what does your religion say about greed?"
I missed answering that. So, it is contained in the same verse as it's conterpart. ENVY.
They are both deadly sins that lead to death and both of which scripture says, God hates/abhors.
Both the sin of greed and the sin of envy are prevalant in our daily politics (by both parties) today. They are equals.
"wake up the echoes" it' almost time for ND Football. Follow them on NBC.
RYO retail stores are fighting for our lives against the Tobacco Cartels who used MY Government to close our doors. Whether you are a smoker's friend or foe, you must care about 10,000 job loss, 1500 retail stores closing down, & loss of one manufacturer in Ohio. Please help us by signing our petition. We need 25,000 valid signatures to get President Obama to take another look at Section 100122 of the Highway Bill. Thanks!

I love it Rachel and your lover's who want Romney's tax return.How about Romney and Obama make a deal.I say Romney need's to release his tax return's and Obama,his college transcipt to the college's nobody in his so called classes remember him in.And i don't recall Romney spending $300,000.00 protecting his tax return's.
Wow, good thing no one has ever thought to check up on transcripts and such. To think he tried to get that whole Harvard farce over on a credible birther I must assume like yourself. Well guess I had better change my vote for the "draft dodger-mormon out to save more souls in France" Thanks uga thanks a million...which I'm sure is just a drop in the bucket for ya.
Rachel, I heard your show piece regarding the Kalamazoo River Oil Spill and wanted to invite you or one of your producers to come to Marshall and see the results of both the spill and the clean-up. I would love to show you our town. I am 49, have spent all but 1 year of my life within 30 minutes of the Kalamazoo River and was raised on one of its tributaries. I have swam, canoed and fished in this beautiful river and my husband and brother-in-law have canoed the river from kalamazoo to Lake Michigan. It is beautiful. Your piece was excellent but to really be able to share with your audience the loss incurred, you have to see the River and the Lake it feeds. I hope to hear from you
Love the show!
Was wondering if i could throw a guest request your shows way.
Randi rhodes. heard her for the first time today, and she spot on with
about Mitt's actions.
Mitt released 2 years of tax returns for this election (20+ years to Mccain, and was passed over) Randi pointed out that something is suspicious, its possibly more then just a low tax rate hes paying.... so Mitt is eating his negative publicity in hopes that we will never find out
what type of business practices hes been engaged in these recent years.. SEC revelation, is strange.. you cant just be CEO and have a "gone fishing" post it on your monitor.. for 3years.. he did nothing? advised nothing? knew nothing?
anyways rhodes said he asked the goverment for 1.5billion to run the olympic games...
Tonight's soundtrack should, righteously, be a Deep Purple song. I would vote for Child in time.
My Woman from Tokyo?
Yes, 10a meetings should be permanently banned from ALL Monday mornings. I mean, give a person some time to clean the coffee cup, fill it up, and delete at least 5 spam/bacn messages.
Rachel,
You got me excited when you said there was good news for liberals because of liberal fat-cats donating to super-pacs. I was disappointed to see you confusing the term "liberal" with "democrat".
I am a "liberal". I am not a "democrat". And if those superpacs were actually LIBERAL, as your show claims, they would be donating millions to Jill Stein for President. Obama has sold out the "liberals" more times than I have space to share here.
I think, therefore I vote 3rd party.
Tucson, AZ
I intentionally wasted my vote back in the 70’s. I voted for McBride for President of “ MY “ USA. A protest vote at best. What if a democracy can only work when all are included ? Even the stupid ideas you know will not work. Will someone disagree with someone else ?? Well da ! ! Can we find a middle-ground ?? What do we all really, really , really feel want ?? Somewhere in there is something common.
Jill Stein? Doesn't bode well for her in the name recognition department that the first time I heard of her was this afternoon...
The President wrote two best-sellers, worked as a community organizer, and then became involved in politics in a political party that offered him a chance and wasn't just pandering to an attention-getting psychopathology...
What, are you going to embarrass the left by demonstrating we have our own drama queens?
BTW, Adam, there's a better chance of your vote counting as a Democrat in Arizona than here on Planet Utah...

For most of a year now, I have been trying to teach “my” male collie-black Labrador to say the word , “ Ruff ” when he wishes something. I guess I just thought he should have the right to an opinion. He has a most loud voice when the neighbors come home or when the mail is delivered. So why not when he is hungry ?? I have totally failed. Yes , his ears still perk-up at my words of , Outside , or Go-for-a-Ride , and of course : Hot Dog !! But , unfortunately , at best, he only acts funny and wags his tail most vigorously when I us such terms. No voice. No vote. No balls ? Ok , it is true , my ex-wife had them cut-off early in his life, but come-on , DOG !!. . . Figuratively speaking. . .! . . .?
Rumor has it, That our Mr. Wolff once sat on a hill crying sheep, sheep, sheep , dumb a** sheep ! Ok , I made that up. . . .sorry. . .
Rachel can make watching-paint-dry interesting. Add a little heart and caring , and your have TRMS.. . .? After my 94 year old mother read her book , she just said , “ Smart Girl “, with a little grin.
DUMBASS Just lit up his fat double chin with the reflector...
I was worried Bill Wolff was gone for good - welcome back Bill!
Has anyone wondered if Mitt doesn't want to show his tax returns because his Mormon Church might find out he didn't give 10% like he is supposed to do? If his income is known, and they find out he gave less, he might feel that is worse than the political backlash he is getting right now. He has always said his church and family come first...
