As she scrapes something nasty (YOU PEOPLE) off the bottom of her Christian Lououtin shoes! What an arrogant piece of garbage this woman is! She does a commercial about stay at home moms dissing working moms, and how this one? She should go home, never come out of her big house again, and, be the Dolly Doormat she was born and raised to be! Let HER eat cake!

I am so sick to death of the Rmoney clan I could hurl. She needs to just shut the *** up and go home. And drag thatr nasty piece of work she calls a husband, home with her.

"we people" I guess should just shut up and keep figuring out how we can pay for The Robme's and friends to get richer, invest overseas, and have more dressage horses......

All I can say is "Lord save us from the Romney's". And yes, I do pray and am a Christian. Just don't believe in the GOP/TeaBaggers idea of Christianity. My Lord is a gentle, kind, tolerant, and loving God.

Actually [to Mrs. R] ...you've given way MORE than i need...to know you're just two more clueless hypocritical greed mongering GOPers...one nation under Marketing Based Management... in the money we do trust because we're too scared, stupid and greedy to figure out how to be human.

Another great cartoon Tom! Mrs. Wrongmey is the perfect Mormon wife. Does not work, raises tons of kids (that step closer to heaven you know), keeps her mouth shut, Mr. Wrongmey is ALWAYS right, and I could go on and on. Our daughter-in-law's parents are Mormon (she, thankfully, is not). He is a church Elder and their church comes before all, even to helping their kids out, they give their 10% first before everything and although a perfectly nice woman, the wife is as described above, to a tee. Actually most if not all Mormon women are exactly alike, kinda like the Stepford wives.

I am afraid it will be a close election and many uninformed people will vote for him.

I don't know about anyone else, but they've given me all I need to know --and what I know is that Mr. Romney won't be getting my respect, my support, my trust or my vote!

Puzzle — 5:45 Holy mackerel! I passed you two. This was a stinky one though! Have you ever smelled half a ton of herring that has fallen off a flatbed and down a long embankment after sitting in the summer sun for a day? Now that is STINK! Enough to make you wretch and then some!

MoveOn — Could get it to play on the Comedy Network for some reason. Did however get 19/07/12 to play where Jon Stewart sat with what looked like a stack of 1,000 pages, supposedly Rmoney's tax return, and commented on various line items. He generally is so funny.

Capitol Column — Baby Bush sure does have the plague! It is interesting though, the GOP are still "friendly" with Cheney who is just as big a dolt! Both of them should be tried for violations of the UN Convention on Torture and for crimes against humanity. To me, they are no different than Milosevic and some of the others.
As Baby Bush said "… 8 years was awesome, and uh I was famous and I was powerful . . .". So there you have it, Baby Bush summing up his years as president of the US. That is all it is to these dolts — fame and power! Nothing more than an ego feed. A chance to call the shots and get their own way. Nothing about service to the nation, to the people.

Michael Moore — I am afraid he is right, although I hope not. Look how we see ancient Rome through the lense of human history. Amen to thoughts and prayers for the slain and victims and their friends and family.

Cartoon — I caught the tone of voice in an interview with ABC and my first reaction was "you sanctimonious bitch!" but then I though, why should I expect anything different. She, like Rmoney is out of touch with reality because they live in their own rarified little world.

Thank you TC. I JUST DON'T GET IT...I say that over and over and over again. How could anyone believe one sentence that comes from this ignorant #$%^&* Gr$$dy#$%^&^ LYING (every time his lips move prove his insanity) not to mention @#$%^%.
I am so irritated as it was too much, too much all rolled up together while watchingl the BS that has been driving me CRAZY since winning the Primary. TOO MUCH. TOO MUCH. TOO MUCH.

I would give ANYTHING to have your Huevos (sp?) Lynn! As usual you nailed it IMO, but I am too ANGRY to try and get much needed sleep. F-it! Regarding Michael Moore~ IMO he is rarely wrong. SO SAD...
Baby Bush has always sucked Mr. Dick C
Lynn, once again I LOVE your "Cartoon---every word.

I must be the only person on the planet to actually BELIEVE he is just so "out of touch". I truly believe he is a man without a soul, or conscience. (I forget the correct psycho word, as I am so ANGRY watching the mass murderer (of our country) and the stepford wife.


Forgive me TC. I am shaking with RAGE. I will regret submitting this insane rage, and not come back to hear what an idiot I sound like.

“YOU PEOPLE” is a 1% euphemism for irritating unworthy underlings that says, “You’re not one of us.”

Thank you Yvonne for the link that began my rant. It was most appreciated as I hadn't a clue of this information.

Two out of touch candidates and both arrogant as all get out. This is the most horrible selection we've had in my lfetime. I'll vote for neither as it makes no difference who wins the Presidency. We need to work hard to get a balance in Congress that favors centrist thinking.

Lynn, I'm curious as to why a Canadian is cheering on OUR election? I'd think you have enough problems with your own so called leadership. If Bush/Cheney are open to prosecution as you wish then so is Obama. At least Bush was respected by our military!

I am shocked at this post. I suppose we should all stick to our own little problems and have no interest in the rest of the World. BTW, baby W WAS NOT APPRECIATED BY HIS IGNORANCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY BY THE MILITARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Heil" DICK and Baby W! Just one more thing having my panties in a twist...NO, IT'S OVER. NO ONE SHOULD VOTE FOR ANYTHING EVER AGAIN! APATHY IS WHAT THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE DOING !
i'M OFF TO KNOCK ON DOORS...SIGN AN IMPORTANT PETITION (AT LEAST TO ME), OR DO ANYTHING AS I WON'T SIT ON MY SKINNY ARSE...DOING ZERO!

Thanks all. Republicans are saying Ann Romney did not say you people. That is a lie. Judge for yourselves.

@John G --- Why am I, a Canuck, cheering on the US election?

Yes John, Canada has its own problems in Stephen Harper, our Prime Minister, and his harlots, the Conservative Party. But Harper is a Baby Bush wannabe. What better way to understand the clown than to observe his idol and the effect he has had on the nation! Second, Canada shares North America with the US and Mexico, and the US has considerable economic and political power, for better or worse. What better way to understand the dynamics than by learning more and participating in my own way! Third, why are you so concerned about my interest in the election? Have a struck a nerve? Is it my honesty that offends you? I simply call them as I see them. My leanings in my own country are further left than your mainstream US politics go. Sometimes a view from the outside is helpful to clarify a view. But don't worry, I can't vote even though my mother was an American.

John, as I understand, Mr Obama is popular with some of the military as was Baby Bush with SOME of the military. It all depends on who you ask. However, I would think that a president that took the country into an illegal war thereby subjecting the military to horrendous losses, is not as popular as you might think.

As to the prosecution of Bush and Cheney for violation of the UN Convention on Torture, Mr Harper had an obligation under the Convention to arrest these two aledged criminals but did not. That was wrong. The allegations stand. That is part of the reason that Cheney has said he doesn't feel safe in Canada.

Hope that helps John.

Ann Romney was recently sued by a woman who bought her horse who found out after purchasing the animal for about $120,000, that it had an injured foot which was hidden by the dosage of painkillers during the time it was purchased. It was found that the amount of painkiller in the animal's system was about 3 times too much than was normal to give a horse. It was a bad business deal, and as the owner, she is the one who is responsible, not the representatives she claimed were at fault.

"These people," the Romneys, are bad for the economy. They are unfit to lead this nation. "These people," the Romneys, should be investigated and properly back- charged for the taxes they have evaded in overseas shelters, money that they owe this country so full of the little, insignificant, folk.

OBAMA 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
