Blacks Are Tired Of Hearing GOP Double Talk.



Mitt Romney was booed Wednesday at the NAACP conference for promising to repeal the president's signature health care reform law, bringing him to an awkward halt in the middle of an otherwise civilly-received pitch for black voters.
It was an awkward moment that forced him to go off script, after giving a somewhat pained smile as the booing continued.
"I'm going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find, that includes Obamacare, and I'm going to work to reform and save --" Romney said before being interrupted for about 15 seconds.
"You know, there was a survey of the Chamber of Commerce -- they carried out asurvey of their members, about 1,500 surveyed, and uh, they asked them what effect Obamacare would have on their plans, and three-quarters of them said it made them less likely to hire people," he said when the booing stopped. "So I say, again, that if our priority is jobs, and that's my priority, that's something I'd change and replace."



Republicans Are Punishing African American For Putting A Black Man In The White House


The truth be told, the Republicans Party is doing everything it can to make President Obama look bad. The high unemployment in the black community is due to the high vote President Obama received. Anything that was meant to help the poor and middle class, has been blocked by the GOP. This is white america way of showing that an old way of thinking is true, " blacks are inferior."

Health Care Law Repeal


While Republicans lambast the cost of implementing health care reform, a new report shows that their efforts to repeal the law have come at a major cost to taxpayers -- to the tune of nearly $50 million.
The House of Representatives again voted to repeal President Obama's signature health care law on Wednesday, marking the 33rd time Republicans have attempted to take down the legislation. The 32 previous repeal efforts faltered at the hands of the Democrat-controlled Senate; the latest attempt is unlikely to break that pattern.
According to a report by CBS News, these efforts, widely viewed as symbolic political maneuvers, come with a high price tag.
CBS' Nancy Cordes reported Wednesday that Republicans' many fruitless attempts at repealing the Affordable Care Act have taken up at least 80 hours of time on the House floor since 2010, amounting to two full work weeks. As the House, according to the Congressional Research Service, costs taxpayers $24 million a week to operate, those two weeks amounted to a total cost of approximately $48 million.

Whites American Will Give All Their Money To Kick Other Black Family Out.

Those with money are doing everything in their power to keep President Obama from a second term. Will to spend their money to keep a "Nigga' out the White House. But want use their money to create jobs. Its not President Obama that has us under employed, but the racism in america that has us like this. It's not that they want Romey, but they just don't want a Black President. So they are doing everything in their power and money to make President Obama look bad.

The campaign to reelect President Barack Obama announced on Monday that it had raised $35 million less than the Mitt Romney campaign in June and has cited that gap in an email to supporters as a vehicle to request more donations. The campaign said it had raised $71 million in June -- its best monthly total to date -- to Romney's $106 million.
The figure includes money raised by the Democratic Party. The campaign said that more 706,000 people donated.
Here's the text of the full email, titled "Good News and Bad News."

The New AmeriKKKa Racism, Voter ID Laws.



New Voter ID laws are the New Jim Crow. White GOP are passing bills in order to keep blacks from putting President Obama back in the White House. It's not a class war, but a new "Race war". When will we stand up and call it what it is, Amerikkka Racism.


When Edward and Mary Weidenbener went to vote in Indiana's primary in May, they didn't realize that state law required them to bring government photo IDs such as a driver's license or passport.
The husband and wife, both approaching 90 years old, had to use a temporary ballot that would be verified later, even though they knew the people working the polling site that day. Unaware that Indiana law obligated them to follow up with the county election board, the Weidenbeners ultimately had their votes rejected – news to them until informed recently by an Associated Press reporter.
Edward Weidenbener, a World War II veteran who had voted for Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential contest, said he was surprised by the rules and the consequences.
"A lot of people don't have a photo ID. They'll be automatically disenfranchised," he said.
As more states put in place strict voter ID rules, an AP review of temporary ballots from Indiana and Georgia, which first adopted the most stringent standards, found that more than 1,200 such votes were tossed during the 2008 general election.

Some In White America Are Willing To Replace President Obama With Anybody, Even A Convict.


Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting 4 out of 10 votes in West Virginia's Democratic presidential primary.
The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal CorrectionalInstitution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. With 83 percent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving 60 percent of the vote to Judd's 40 percent.
For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes.
"I voted against Obama," said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. "I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again."
When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, "That guy out of Texas."

New Voter ID Law Has Had The Jim Crow Effect Wanted On Black And Latino Votersct


Has voter registration among Latinos and African-Americans gone up or down since the 2008 election?
Considering how important these two voting blocks will be to the presidential candidates come November, the issue has become a source of debate.
Last week, The Washington Post reportedthat the number of black and Latino eligible voters is lagging under the headline, “Voter registration down among Hispanics, blacks.” On Monday, the Obama campaign's Director of Constituency Press, Clo Ewing, struck back on the organization's BarackObama.com blog.
“The analysis on which The Post based its mistaken claim is fundamentally flawed in several ways,” Ewing said.
The data cited by The Post is an outdated measure of voter registration and that “registration among Latinos and African Americans has never been higher," Ewing wrote. "There are more Americans of both backgrounds registered to vote today than there were when President Obama was elected.”
In March, The Huffington Post reported on the decline of registered Hispanic voters in 2010 citing a recent report by the William C. Velasquez Institute (WCVI). The institute is a non-profit and nonpartisan Latino research and advocacy group, that analyzed voting and registration data gathered by the Census Bureau between 1972 and 2010. Among their findings: “for the second “post-presidential cycle” in a row, Latino voter registration declined nationally” and declined 5 percent during 2009-10.

Christian Conservatives Plan To Pray To A Black Jesus To Remove A Black President.


WINTER PARK, Fla. -- Hundreds of Christian conservatives convened here Friday for The Awakening, a two-day combination of strategy session, prayer meeting and Tea Party reunion aimed at jump-starting a religious revival they say will defeat the "secular, socialist" White House incumbent, Barack Obama.

Even if that means electing "the lesser of two evils," as many here referred to Mitt Romney. That's how Angelica Garnica, 33, of Orlando, described the choice in November. Wearing a "Change It Back 2012" T-shirt, the publishing company manager said Romney is "the only option we have," even if he "is not as conservative as we would like."

Friday's gathering opened in the cavernous sanctuary of Calvary Assembly, a mega-church in suburban Orlando that looks more like a convention center than a house of worship. It included fiery preaching, the lifting of hands in worship and a chorus of "amens" with a heavy Spanish accent showing conservatives' concern at losing their huge and important voting bloc in this year's election. A large, orange cross was lighted on the stage as people rose and sang hallelujah with arms raised and eyes closed.

Though billed as a "federation of multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-generational faith-based and policy organizations," the crowd was mostly white. Still, here in Florida, a battleground state where more than one in five are Hispanic, the focus on opening night was on a key demographic that polls show leans strongly toward Obama. A panel of Hispanic pastors talked about the need to unite Christian minorities and whites on the basis of shared conservative values that include opposing abortion and gay marriage and showing compassion to immigrants.

The meat of The Awakening comes Saturday in breakout sessions on hot-button political issues. Among them: "winning the battle and messaging the masses" against gay rights, "families under attack" from pornography and sexual promiscuity, and panel discussions on abortion, immigration, Israel and women.

 And there will be political hands-on sessions titled, "Pastors, Churches and Political Activity: Re-energizing the Pulpit" and "Utilizing C3s, C4s and PAC," references to the IRS codes that define social and political fundraising groups.

Scheduled speakers include Republican Florida congressmen Allen West and Jon Mica. Also scheduled are Lou Engle, the controversial Kansas City evangelical leader of The Call Ministries who has praised Uganda for "courage" in pushing the death penalty for gays who have AIDS or engage in homosexual sex, as well as Frank Gaffney, the neo-conservative defense analyst whose Center for Security Policy is bankrolled by Israel settlement supporter Irving Moskowitz. Gaffney in 2008 said Obama sought "the Jihadist vote."

Not showing up in person, despite weeks of being advertised: Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich and ex-candidate Herman Cain. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, whose appearance was heavily promoted, appeared from Washington by video. Rubio said earlier this week he has no interest in being Romney's running mate.

GOP State Legislatues Using Jim Crow Laws To Stop Obama Re-election.

WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - New state laws designed to fight voter fraud could reduce the number of Americans signing up to vote in this year's presidential election by hundreds of thousands, a potential problem for President Barack Obama's re-election bid.

Voting laws passed by Republican-led legislatures in a dozen states during the past year have sharply restricted voter-registration drives that typically target young, low-income, African-American and Hispanic voters - groups that have backed the Democratic president by wide margins.

A further 16 states are considering bills that would end voter registration on election days, impose a range of limits on groups that register voters and make it more difficult for people to sign up, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School.

The new laws - many of which include measures requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls - could carve into Obama's potential support in Florida, Ohio and a few other politically divided states likely to be crucial in the Nov. 6 election, analysts say.

The analysts note that massive registration drives in 2008 helped put millions of people aged 18 to 29 on voting rolls, and that age group - which makes up roughly one-quarter of the U.S. electorate - helped propel Obama to victory, voting 2-to-1 for him.

Rock the Vote, a nationwide organization that mobilizes young voters, said the new laws would make it more difficult for the group to educate people on how to sign up to vote.

"The types of laws have varied, but state by state they've added up to the fact that it's going to be harder for young people to get registered and vote in this election cycle," said Heather Smith, president of Rock the Vote.

"We have a very busy year ahead of us, and a very important one," she added. "What a shame if we can't continue to engage this generation in the political process because these laws have made it harder."

Romney Is Already Talking About Who He Is Going To Fire.


In a closed-door speech to donors at a private home in Florida on Sunday, Mitt Romney was unusually candid about his policy plans, offering details about what he expects to implement if elected president in November.

According to NBC News, the former Massachusetts governor said he may decide to eliminate several government agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which was once led by his father, George Romney.

"I'm going to take a lot of departments in Washington, and agencies, and combine them. Some eliminate, but I'm probably not going to lay out just exactly which ones are going to go," Romney said. "Things like Housing and Urban Development, which my dad was head of, that might not be around later."

Although Romney refused to make specific calls about each agency, he did suggest that the Department of Education would see major changes under a Romney presidency.

"I will either consolidate with another agency, or perhaps make it a heck of a lot smaller," Romney said. "I'm not going to get rid of it entirely," explaining that to do so could be a political pitfall and would eliminate a way to push back on powerful teacher unions.

Romney also acknowledged the key role those unions will have on the election, since many of them have pledged support for President Barack Obama.

"The unions will put in hundreds of millions of dollars," Romney said. "There's nothing like it on our side."

Dick Cheney Called President Obama A " Unmitigated Disater" After What Him And Bush Did, WTF.


CHEYENNE, Wyo. -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney walked onstage without any assistance and spoke for an hour and 15 minutes without seeming to tire in his first public engagement since he underwent a heart transplant three weeks ago.

He sat in a plush chair throughout the long chat with daughter Liz Cheney and looked decidedly healthier than recent appearances where he has been gaunt and used a cane.

Cheney even threw in a couple of political plugs amid much reminiscing at the Wyoming Republican Party state convention in Cheyenne on Saturday.

He said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is going to do a "whale of a job." He said it's never been more important than now to defeat a sitting president and the Republican Party should unite behind Romney.

"He has been an unmitigated disaster to the country," Cheney said of President Barack Obama.

The Wyoming Republican Party chose 14 delegates Saturday to this summer's Republican National Convention and all of them are committed to support Romney. The state will send a total of 29 delegates to the RNC.

Cheney's heart transplant in Virginia on March 24 initially canceled his trip to the state party convention but he got last-minute medical clearance to go.

"I'm not running any foot races yet but it won't be long," he said.

He owed a "huge debt" to the unknown donor of his new heart, he said, and to medical technology. He did not take the opportunity to weigh in on health care politics.

President Willing To Talk About Weed, But It Want Be Legalized,


Obama said he doesn't "mind a debate" over drug legalization even though he doesn't believe it “is going to be the answer."

“I don’t mind a debate on issues such as decriminalization,” Obama told Univisión’s Enrique Acevedo while in Colombia for the Summit of the Americas. "I personally don't agree that that's a solution to the problem, but I think that, given the pressures that a lot of governments are under here -- under resourced, overwhelmed by violence -- it’s completely understandable that they would look for new approaches and we want to cooperate with them."

Obama went on to clarify his own stance on the issue.

"I don't think legalization of drugs is going to be the answer," Obama said.

Obama will likely face pressure this weekend from other leaders who are pushing to legalize marijuana and other illicit drugs in an effort to prevent drug trafficking. The president -- who had a progressive attitude toward drug legalization during his 2008 campaign -- has since hardened his stance on the issue.

Obama's trip to Colombia made headlines Friday night when a dozen Secret Service agents providing security on the trip were relieved of duty because of allegations of misconduct. The Associated Press reported the misconduct involved prostitutes in Cartagena, site of the Summit of the Americas.

Money Coming In From Across Seas To Get President Obama Out.


Even in the era of unbridled campaign contributions, Irving Moskowitz's $1 million donation in February to American Crossroads, the Karl Rove-linked super PAC, is eye-catching.

A retired physician who made a fortune purchasing hospitals and running bingo and casino operations in the economically depressed California town of Hawaiian Gardens, Moskowitz is well-known to those who follow the Israel-Palestine conflict. His contributions to far-right Jewish settler groups, questionable archaeological projects and widespread land purchases in East Jerusalem and the West Bank have routinely inflamed the region over the past four decades and, according to many familiar with the conflict, made him a key obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

Now, at age 83, Moskowitz has turned his money on the American political realm in a more prominent fashion than ever before, funding "birther" groups that question the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's U.S. citizenship and others that stoke fears about the president's alleged ties to "radical Islam."

Although he has funded Republican politicians and organizations in the past, his $1 million donation to American Crossroads is his biggest contribution to U.S. electoral politics to date. Moskowitz did not respond to requests for comment from The Huffington Post. American Crossroads told HuffPost that it does not comment on its donors.

Rick Santorum Says Trayvon's Case Should Be Left To Southern Justice


Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the shooting of an unarmed teenager in an Orlando, Fla., suburb was "horrible" and that the case is, in his words, a "chilling example of the horrible decisions made by people in this process."

Seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin was fatally shot Feb. 26 while walking through a neighborhood in the suburb of Sanford.

The admitted shooter, George Zimmerman, 28, has claimed self-defense and invoked Florida's' "Stand Your Ground" law. The law gives people wide latitude to use deadly force instead of retreating during a fight, and explains why Zimmerman has not been arrested.

Said Santorum: "Stand your ground is not doing what this man did."

But when asked if the Justice Department should investigate, Santorum said that should be left to local and state authorities.

President Obama Has Had Enough Of Being Disrespected.


President Obama directly addressed a heckler on Thursday, asking the man to stop "being rude" and interrupting his speech.

While speaking on energy at Ohio State University, Obama was interrupted by a man repeatedly shouting.
"Sir, I'm here to speak to these folks," Obama said to the man. "You can hold your own rally. You're being rude."

The man appeared to be holding up a book that he wanted the president to read. Obama asked the man to pass the book forward to his staff.

"Sir, I'm trying to talk to these people," Obama said. "I'll be happy to read your book. If you wanna give me your book, I'll be happy to read it. But don't interrupt my conversation with these folks. Alright? Show me some courtesy, alright?"

White Millionaires Will Give Last Dime To Get Black President Out The White House.


The reclusive, super-wealthy Republican donor Harold Simmons sat down for an interview with the Wall Street Journal in which he explained why he decided to donate $18 million to conservative super PACs. To put it bluntly: he despises and fears President Barack Obama.

"Any of these Republicans would make a better president than that socialist, Obama," Simmons told the Journal (subscription required), in what is the piece's most provocative quote. "Obama is the most dangerous American alive … because he would eliminate free enterprise in this country."

An industrialist who heads Contran Corp., Simmons is not as well known as his fellow deep-pocketed, super PAC-backing brethren, Sheldon Adelson and Foster Friess. But the total number of dollars he's given makes him the biggest giver so far this election cycle. His sit-down with the Journal provided one of the first actual windows into what animates his politics.

The 80-year-old Texan takes his political advice from Karl Rove. And at another point in the interview, he insisted that if more campaign commercials had been run tying then-Sen. Obama to Bill Ayers, "we" -- as in conservatives -- "could have killed Obama." By this, he is speaking metaphorically, though the impression is left that those very ads will be featured more prominently in 2012.

Santorum Doesn't Care About The Unemployed, As Long As He Get The Job Of President


When Mitt Romney said he liked to fire people, he was talking about having a choice as a consumer between health insurers. But boy did it come out wrong.

On Monday, Rick Santorum had two similar moments while campaigning in Illinois. At his first event of the day in Rockford, Santorum said that "the issue in this race is not the economy."

Santorum was trying to argue that health care is the bigger issue because the government is taking over too much of the economy, and that is the larger reason why the economy is struggling. But the comment reinforced the image of Santorum as a politician more interested in social issues than in whether Americans without jobs can find work.

Then, Monday afternoon here in Moline, Santorum made an even more jarring comment, again when talking about health care.

"I don't care what the unemployment rate is going to be. It doesn't matter to me," Santorum said. "My campaign doesn't hinge on unemployment rates and growth rates. There's something more foundational that's going on here."

Gov. Brewer Says " Romney Is The Right Man", because He Isn't Black.


With Mitt Romney's victory in the Arizona GOP primary on Tuesday, Jan Brewer became the first Republican governor to endorse the winning candidate in his or her own state.

Brewer, who became the governor of the Grand Canyon State in 2009, announced her support for the former Massachusetts governor on NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier this week.

"I think he's the man that can carry the day," she said Sunday. "Mitt is by far the person that can go in and win."
According to a PPP poll conducted earlier in February, Brewer's endorsement could have been a decisive factor for some voters. About 25 percent of likely Republican voters polled said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who had Brewer's stamp of approval.



Blacks Are Not Citizens, President Obama Can't Be President Because He Is " Mulatto."


A new lawsuit filed by an Alaska man aims to remove President Barack Obama from the state's ballot, arguing that Obama is not a "natural born citizen" because he is African-American.
The complaint, filed last week by Juneau resident Gordon Warren Epperly, reads:
As stated above, for an Individual to be a candidate for the office of president of the United States, the candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a "natural born citizen" of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the "mulatto" race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of "Negro" or "mulatto" had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution."
While many have posited that the "birther" movement, whose followers believe that Obama was born in Kenya and is therefore ineligible for the presidency, has racist overtones, this is perhaps the most blatant attempt by a member of the birther fold to remove Obama from office strictly because of his race.

Rick Santorum Say Just Blame It On The Black Man


Rick Santorum told a story Monday morning of a recent trip to Tioga, N.D., a burgeoning oil town that he said reminded him of a very far-off place, for which he blamed the Obama administration's regulators.

"It's a boom town. They're drilling everywhere. They're being overwhelmed by the growth there. But you can't find a builder to come in and build homes. You can't find anybody to invest in Tioga, North Dakota. Why? Because they're afraid the government's going to shut it down," Santorum said.

Builders, Santorum contended, "don't want to risk it. So they're building temporary structures that feel like you're in Afghanistan, because investors are afraid of what government might do."

Mitt Romney Lied About Being There, When He Wasn't Born.


Mitt Romney came under criticism Monday for recalling a seminal moment from his childhood in Detroit that actually took place nine months before he was born.

Mitch Potter of the Toronto Star on Monday questioned a tale that the former Massachusetts governor recently told to a Tea Party crowd of attending the Golden Jubilee. Romney told the gathering in Milford, Mich., he was "probably 4 or something" at the time of the jubilee, which attracted 750,000 people to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American automobile. There was just one problem.
